For You ✨[Minsung ff, in progress]

~ ♡~

[J.ONE] You won't believe it, I'm in a group with him. But we never talked before, any advice on how I can approach him?

Minho reads the message with disbelief. How can one person be so lucky, while he is that unfortunate. He starts feeling jealous. Even tho he was happy for her, he asked himself why it couldn't be him.

[Minho] Great. No worries he will.

He tried to ignore his feelings but before he actually thought about what he just wrote, he clicked send. Not really sure if it annoys him more that he couldn't control his feelings or that J.ONE is happy with someone else, he aggressively turns off his screen. But the answer light up the screen again short after

[J.ONE] Really? I will wait then. Thank you.

Again he turned off the screen and put his phone away. The lecture was almost over and he got into a bad mood. Thinking about facing Jisung now was the last on the list of things he wants to do.
'Nope I need to leave', he thought and ignored Chan who walked towards his row, ' He surely just wants to talk with Jisung, not with me'.
Minho felt sick, they still have discuss when they will practise. Can he avoid the confrontation until then? But even worse than Jisung being his assignment partner did him hit his conversation with J.ONE. He really feels lost in the situation. Was the universe truly against him? It felt like it.

Minho was walking through the rest of the week like a zombie. He been exhausted and tried to avoid Jisung as best as he could. Luckily he doesn't had any more courses with Jisung and he finished his first week quicker than expected. The only thing which bugged him was that he barely wrote with J. ONE. They also weren't in good mood, since their group partner wasn't talking to them. Minho on the other hand was genuinely happy that his group partner wasn't talking to him either. Nevertheless he tried to cheer them up saying that he might be nervous too, so she could try to gather confidence and talk to him first. He hasn't heard of them since.
"Have you talked about a concept with Jisung?" asked Chan causally on Friday evening, he was just about to get ready to meet up with his friends.
But Chan started the conversation with a topic Minho rather would like to skip. "Not yet but I planned to on Monday. After the history lecture" he lied shamelessly.
"You know working with Jisung is different. When he's producing something, he is more of himself then he is in every day situation"
That doesn't make sense for Minho but Chan continues “Give him a chance, best you get things done now and don't procrastinate on them".
Chan patted Minhos shoulder in encouragement before he left the dorm.
Minho really didn't want to think about it nor does he want to give Jisung a chance. He saw enough of his behavior the past semester he doubted it could get any better. He needed distraction. He needed a friend. He missed J. ONE.

[Minho] Do you have time for a game?

[J. ONE] Sorry, I'm out with my friends. Tomorrow?

Minho looked at his screen. He felt devestated.

[Minho] You're busy lately.

[J. ONE] My cousin will move back here to for his job and is moving in. It's lots going on.

[Minho] I won't bother you then.

He turned off his phone and jumped on the bed. 'It was time that this awful week finally is over', he thought.
"Minho?"
It was Monday after the history lecture, Minho whether has a clue how he survived the weekend nor how he found any motivation to attend the lectures today. He had a shut down the past days and avoided everyone who was not a player in his game. He couldn't  even remember if he talked to Chan during that time.
"Minho!" Chan called him another time, when he saw that Minho still tried to escape the room before talking to Jisung. "Don't forget what I told you, give him a chance." Chan looked back at Jisung and slightly pushed Minho in Jisungs direction. Minho finally gave in.
Jisung looked at him strangely but instead of meeting Minho half way, he waited for him to come over. 'Arrogant as usually' crossed Minhos mind.
He toke a big breath and forced himself to smile "How about we meet -"
"I reserved practise room 108 for tomorrow evening." Jisung interrupted him. "Not that I expect you to be helpful, but you can come as well. I won't leave before the concept is done though"
Minhos smile faded and a smirk appeared on Jisungs face. A lot of swearings popped in Minhos mind, so many he couldn't decide which one he wanted to use first.
"I-" Minho begun to stumble, but Jisung already was about to leave the room, leaving a upset Minho behind him. Being frustrated wasnt enough to describe how Minho felt in this moment. He already regretted his decision of giving it a chance. Nevertheless he doesn't want to let Jisung win. Jisung thought he couldn't help? He was determinded to prove him wrong.
Sad only that he forgot to ask Jisung for the exact time they will meet. When he finished his lessons that the day, Jisung was already sitting in front of his laptop in the practise room. To Minhos surprise Jisung was so focused at his work that he didn't even realised that Minho entered. Minho closed the door behind him quietly, afraid that Jisung will tease him for being late.
Suddenly a melody was playing, Jisung was moving his head to the beat, still in his own world. Minhos heart begun to beat faster. He didn't knew what surprised him more that Jisung effortlessly start to rap or that it's unexpectedly smooth. Chans words echoed through his mind "working with Jisung is different.. ." His words started to make sense. This Jisung seemed to be so far away from the Jisung he knew. "... When he's producing something, he is more of himself then he is in every day situation".
This is definitely another Jisung, but which one is his mask?
Jisung looked up and stopped the music when he saw Minho "Oh, you came", he said shyly. Minho was confused. The person in front of him looked like Jisung, but he doesn't seemed to be him at all.
For another brief moment Jisung stared at Minho with big eyes, then his expression changed and he seemed to be back at his old self. "Not that I'm surprised, but is it actually that tough to be on point?"
"We never -" Minho gave up to defend himself before he even started. It wouldn't change anything anyways. "What was that for a song?"
" A Project I'm working on" Jisung looked away shyly.
Minho felt the urge to say something to comfort him. But he didn't knew how. At the end it was still Jisung sitting in front of him. He heard of Jisungs talent, he shouldn't have been surprise considering he knew that Jisung won servial competition at a young age including the one giving him a scholarship, yet he still was.
"Can I hear it again?" the words left Minhos mouth before he could stop himself.
Jisungs eyes wided, but Minho couldn't read his expression "No, it's not done yet".
Something was wrong with Jisung today decided Minho, he just couldn't point out what it was.
"So for our concept..Don't you want to sit down? " Jisung looked to the empty chair next to him. Minho blushed. He totally forgot that he stayed at the door without any purpose to be there.
"Sorry" he mumbled while walking over, Jisung continued “ I thought about slow pop, I think it could suit you"
Minho nodded. He actually liked a slow vibe although he enjoyed a lot of genres.
"What is about you? Is that okay?" he thought about Jisungs rap, the energetic tense suited him quiet well.
"Don't worry about me" Jisung was already focus on this laptop again. Minho knew about the basics of the program Jisung was using but Jisung used the tools more elaborate than he imagined was possible. Jisung glazed over to Minho and added smirking "I'm very flexibel you know" before his attentioned moved to the program.
'Who is this person sitting here?' Minho thought confused. He was convinced it wasn't the Jisung he knew, but he decided to not question it for today. At least he will be able to work together with this Jisung. Suddenly he even had hopes to end this semester with a good performance.
Hours passed by while they working on the concept, strangely enough Minho felt like he just entered the room. He didn't expect them working that well together and he needed to admit he almost admired this side from Jisung. Minho didn't thought it was possible but they really managed to finish their concept this evening.
"I think we're good now" did Jisung said adding their concept to an E-Mail to Professor Song. "I will work on the melody during the next week and send you a copy. Maybe you could already work on some lyrics? Or do you want to meet up again to work on it?"
Although he really liked the atmosphere this evening, Minhos impulse of avoiding Jisung was stronger." No" he answered a bit too fast. "I mean no, it's fine. I can work on the lyrics"
Jisung clenched his jaw. "Alright" he closed his laptop and got his bag, ready to leave. "When you're stuck and change your mind, tell me".
'Did I said something wrong?'. Jisung left an even more confused Minho alone in the practise room. But it wasn't the strangest moment of the evening, so Minho figured he shouldn't worry about it.
