Summary
'Because of love'
That's what the note said and that's why Minho picked Seungmin to give him a kiss on the cheek on that stage. But Seungmin doesn't actually kiss him. He just faked it like he fakes all other affections with Minho. Only him. Seungmin likes to hug and kiss everyone else, just not him.
Minho tears himself apart trying to figure out why that might be. Luckily for him, Jisung informs him that he can just ask about it.

Summary
”Hyung,” Jisung says finally, and Minho wets his lips nervously before turning to look at him, but he’s reached for his cocktail, just holding the glass as he stares at the remaining alcohol in it. ”We never talk about sex.”
”No,” Minho agrees, watching as Jisung’s head turns but he’s still not prepared for those gorgeous eyes finding his, a curious look beneath the haze of alcohol. ”We don’t.”
Jisung watches him for a moment, and Minho wonders for not the first time if Jisung knows why they don’t. Why they really shouldn’t. But then Jisung tilts his head, his dark hair brushing against his cheekbone and Minho steels himself for the conversation Jisung’s about to start.OR: Jisung drunkenly confesses he's not that into sleeping with his girlfriend, and they both spiral from there.

Summary
Splitting: the sudden emotional shift from seeing someone as safe, loving, and trustworthy to seeing them as rejecting, uncaring, or unsafe. It often happens when emotional pain becomes too intense for the mind to hold nuance, causing the person to react from fear rather than the full reality of the relationship.

Summary
Two years ago, Jisung confessed his love before Minho left for university.
Minho had said I love you too, and Jisung thought that was their new beginning.Now that they share an apartment, a kitchen, a bed on most nights, Jisung wonders why his boyfriend still hasn’t kissed him. Why he pulls away everytime he reaches for him.
Meanwhile, Minho lies awake at night pining hopelessly for someone he believes he can't have—even as that someone sneaks into his bed and laces their fingers together.
Two idiots in love. One confession. Zero clarification.

Summary
It would almost be easier if Jisung was trying to steal his man. At least then there would be something Seungmin could point to, some issue he could bring to Minho and say, this isn’t okay. But no. Jisung and Minho had always been that way, long before Seungmin and Minho started their… whatever it was. They hadn’t put a name to it, not yet at least. Which just left Seungmin feeling vaguely annoyed at something he couldn’t even name.
