Work Text:
Living with 7 other people most of the time is a good thing, you can ask Han, whose dishes are always clean after leaving them unattended, and you can also ask Jeongin who has other 7 persons willing to help him with the topics he doesn’t understand at all. There are also occasions when Felix misses home and the rest of them do the impossible to demonstrate to him he is home.
There is a process when something is off with Seungmin, Changbin notices how he doesn´t play along, and that´s when Chan enters and tries to fix the problem. But there are times when Chan isn´t enough and Minho enters into action.
“Seungmin, put a hoodie on, we are going somewhere Minho says entering their room, Seungmin doesn´t know where their other roommates are, but they surely aren´t far.
“But I haven´t finished” Seungmin was trying to do something on his computer, actually he lost his attention some time ago.
“Oh, I believe you are done for today, if you keep going, you are going to get sick like the last time, so put on a hoodie, we are going somewhere”
“But…”
“Seungmin maybe the others, but you know you can´t tell me 'no', so put on a hoodie, we are going somewhere”
"This is the first time this has happened and we are going somewhere, you only make me sleep or something like that”
"It has been some time since I want to take you to this place”
"The café you took Yeongbokie the other day?"
"No, it is a different place”
"So there isn´t any coffee?”
" I think you have been drinking a lot of coffee the last days, so you aren´t getting any, I know your sleeping schedule is really bad by now” After a moment of silence he talked again “But Hyunjin and I.N went shopping and they brought you a slice of cake. So, the cake and me will see you in five minutes in the car” so there were his other roommates
Another good thing about living with other 7 people is that at least one knows how to drive.
When he gets to the living room Felix is buried in Chnagbin´s chest while Chan is next to them working on something. A movie was playing on the TV but no one seemed to watch it or he thought until he saw Han sitting between Chan´s legs.
“I’m going somewhere with Minho” Seungmin announces while putting on a hoodie that might or might not be his.
“I love you Seungmin” Felix says from Chnagbin´s chest
“I love you too” says while crossing the door.
Minho was already waiting in the driver's seat, as he said a slice of cake was waiting for him in his seat.
“were are we going?” He asked putting on the seatbelt.
“a place from my childhood”
“I don´t think you have taken someone to a place like that”
“I know, I was waiting to take you,” Minho said while driving
“Why me? It isn´t a place where you would take the others?” Seungmin asks letting some of his feelings out
“Because I wanted to take you first, maybe in the future I´ll take the other ones”
“You don´t need to do stuff like that for me”
“I have, and even if I hadn´t I would so eat your cake, I´m sure you haven´t eaten properly these days”
Usually, their car time is silent, so the rest of the ride is silently comforting.
After some time Minho pulls up on a side of the road.
"Were, are we?”
"In one of my childhood places, I already told you"
"How do you discover it?”
“One day when I and my family were coming back to Seul we made an emergency stop here and it became my favorite place, I always wanted to come back, so my father had to tell me that the only way we could get here was by rocket ship, I believed them because how the stars look from here”
"I always forget how beautiful they are”
"You also forget how beautiful you are”
"stop”
"Seungmin, what's in your mind?”
"Everything is fine”
"You don´t have to tell me anything, but we know something is wrong and you are giving us all the signals"
“There are some feelings hunting me"
"Can you name those feelings?”
"I… you… me… you… I, I don´t…”
"Seungmin I´m in love with you” Minho interrupts
" What?!?!?!”
"I have known it for a long time
"I…”
"You don´t have to say anything, not now, you don´t feel well and feelings can be confusing and overwhelming, for now just enjoy the moment”
"Stars are really pretty" Seungmin talks trying to say something coherent after that information bomb
“I learned how to drive to be able to come wherever I wanted, is my happy place… is like the verge of my dreamland”
“That´s a really pretty image in my head”
“You should have seen it when we were kids, I used to imagine that if I walked the verge, a ship would appear and take me to the stars” Minho dreams with his eyes open.
“I have never been in a similar place; this is a little weird”
“Sometimes I imagine how it would have been if you were in my happy memories” Minho confesses.
“Why me?” Seungmin asks confused.
“Because you deserve every good thing asked World Kim Seungmin, but is hard for you to see it” They fell in silence for some time .
“I also like you Lee Minho, every day is harder to hide all these things I feel for you, is really hard to come back home after a tiring day and find you being the best person in the whole world without even trying” Seungmin shouts getting everything out of his chest, Minho looks at him whit a big smile “what?”
“You turned this place one hundred times better”
Minho reached for Seungmin Han and laced their fingers “Thanks Kim Seungmin, for making me the happiest person in the world” Minho pulled him to his chest.
After getting all out of his chest, Seungmin realized he felt way better and now he might be in a relationship soon. But for now, he might take a nap.
