Chapter 1: Solutions?
Minho recently came out as bisexual to the members and it went really well. He wasn’t sure if it would change the dynamics of the group but he didn’t want to hide a piece of himself anymore. Unfortunately, the only people he was currently out to were them and his few non-idol friends.
One of these non-idol friends was a boy named Sungho. Minho been friends with Sungho since they were in middle school and he was the only openly gay person Minho knew. The downside to this was that as soon as Minho came out Sungho made it clear he was interested. Minho only saw him as a friend but he worried if he outright rejected him their friendship would be over or awkward.
Speaking of.. Minho felt his phone buzz in his pocket and, sure enough, it was Sungho.
Sungho: hey! want to come over? we can have a drink? ;)
Minho took a deep breath and put his phone back in his pocket without replying. He was so focused on thinking about how to decline the invitation without being rude that he didn’t notice Jisung come into the living room.
“You look stressed.” Jisung said while looking concerned. Minho startled and chuckled. He could always count on Jisung to notice even the slightest shift in his mood.
“Yeah.. You know my friend Sungho?” Minho said while pulling his phone back out.
“Yeah, he’s the gay one right?” Jisung said nonchalantly
Minho scoffed, “Of course that’s how you remember him.. But yes. That’s actually relevant to what’s got me so stressed..”
“Oh?”
“So.. I told him I was bisexual a few weeks ago. It was around the same time that I came out to you guys. Well, as a result he’s been very… persistent. He’s clearly interested now that he knows I like guys too and I don’t know how to reject him without it affecting our friendship. I wish there was a way for me to not have to say anything but have him move on anyways.” Minho said in a rush. He didn’t realize just how much this was weighing on him until now.
Jisung took a minute to reply. He looked deep in thought as he came to sit next to Minho on the couch. He suddenly turned to face Minho and grabbed his knee.
“I have an idea.. I don’t know how you’ll feel about it but it may be the perfect solution to your problem!” Jisung said, sounding far too excited.
“Ok… What is it?” Minho said skeptically.
“What if we pretended to be dating?” Jisung said with a bright look on his face.
Oh.. That was not what Minho was expecting.
