Summary
Jisung doesn’t fuck up their stage but it’s a close call. The others praise him for being extra energetic but Jisung is just plain panicking.
Because “not here” doesn’t mean “not ever” and Jisung’s not really sure what to do with that information.
By the end of the show he’s determined to bring it up to Minho, to talk about it once they’re alone.
In the van on the way home though he’s already convinced himself that it was just a joke, or that Minho meant something else, and that he’s reading way too much into it.
or
Jisung realizes he has feelings for Minho. Minho is already there. And that might not be the only thing Jisung learns about himself.

Summary
Jisung shrugs, all too casual. “Just for fun. You know, for the bit.”
“You want us to pretend to be a couple…in therapy. Just for fun.”
“Yeah!” Jisung nods enthusiastically. "Just until the therapist figures it out.”
Minho gives him a long, slow look that suggests he is currently measuring him for a straitjacket. “So. Two sessions, max.”
It’s supposed to be a joke– two best friends and roommates walk into a therapist’s office, and pretend they’re a couple until the therapist figures it out.
But old feelings die harder than old habits, and when everything they’ve been avoiding for five years finally catches up, Minho and Jisung start to realize they may not be pretending as much as they'd like to believe.
or: Minho and Jisung are not a couple– or so they think.

Summary
Jisung leans his head back, lazy. Like he can’t be bothered to pick it up. Like it’s too heavy, or he’s too sleepy. “Do you think it would fuck everything up if we slept together for real?”
“Everything,” Minho says, not quite a question, but not understanding. A general repetition for the benefit of the both of them. Because his throat hurts a little bit, and he needs a second to swallow it down.
He brings his hand back to steering. Both of them right where they’re meant to be.
“Everything, like— us,” Jisung waves his finger between them. “You’re my best friend. And I’m yours. And I’ve always wondered, you know?”
Minho is white knuckling the wheel. He can still feel Jisung beneath his fingertips, or maybe just within his bloodstream. Injected there to sit. Stay.

Summary
Just who was singing like this, in the dark and the cold, like his life depended on it?
Soft, deep brown hair pushed over eyes beneath a fuzzy black hat, maybe a trapper hat. Hands that managed to look warm when they were certainly cold to the touch gripping an electric guitar. Pretty pink lips belting into a microphone.
Definitely the hottest man Minho had ever seen, but it was fine because he was cool about it. He was normal about it. Minho thought himself pretty normal. The way his jaw hung open, a perfect mix of pure enchantment and I want his tongue in my mouth, was normal. The way his eyes widened—normal.
“That was really good.”
