"...Care to explain ?"
Haneul asks raising an eyebrow
"uh...i slipped and we were just...about to get up" Haru explains his voice surprisingly steady
"Yeah...sure. of course you slipped. It's very obvious that you...slipped"
Haneul says his eyes darting to minho whose face was tell tale crimson.
"Why does minho look like the incarnation of a tomato?....Anyways , i'll pretend i didn't see you guys. I just wanted to check up on your practice progress but it looks like i interrupted something instead. I'll leave and you can just ...continue"
Haneul says winking at Haru before closing the door.
*SILENCE*
The room was filled with deafening silence as neither of them gathered the courage to look at each other.
Minho's eyes were fixed to the floor as he stood there mortified. What had just happened? Did Haru just kiss him? Did he like him?...What if it was just a mistake to Haru and Haru found him weird? Haru had always seen him as his best friend so there was no way that Haru felt that way about him. It was a mistake.
He was still trying to grasp what had just happened when Haru spoke up.
"Minah I..."
"It's fine. I know it was just a mistake. I..I have to go now"
"Wait minah..." Haru started to say but minho has already left the practice room.
*SIGH*
Haru sighs as he facepalms in frustration.
"What the hell did i just do?"
_____________________________________ 2 weeks later....
After that incident,Minho had been avoiding Haru. He would go in opposite directions ,avoid his gaze and he would only talk to him when it is required like on stage.
To Haru ,it was his fault. They were just friends and Minho obviously didn't see him that way. H had made things weird between them.
He has been trying to apologize and talk but he had never had the chance to talk to minho alone and going to his room is not a good option either.
They had currently finished performing on stage and were backstage. Staffs were running around with towels and bottles of water while the others were removing their props.
"Good job everyone,we leave in five minutes"
Their manager,Mr Pak says as he leaves.
" Gosh ,I almost missed the choreography by a beat,but then i remembered the glare minho would give me if i did" Dohyun says wiping his neck with a towel.
Qiang smiles as he checks his phone
*SIGH*
"A random person just message me saying she's my long lost sister. I don't even have a sister."
"I guess that's a new method"
" Our fans are more creative. They can do better" Haneul says as he spots Haru looking at minho who was on his phone.
"Guys we have things to do,let's go" Hnaul says signaling to the rest who got the message.
Of course everyone in the group had noticed that Haru and Minho were having an argument. They had been worried since the atmosphere was always awkward and tense.
Minho was about to follow the rest only to be stopped by Haru.
"Minah... I'm really sorry"
Minho turns around to face Haru.
'Why is he apologizing? So i was right,he sees it as a mistake'
" I shouldn't have done that.It's my fault and it was a honest mistake.I wasn't controlling myself and...."
Before Haneul could finish minho interrupts.
"I know it was a mistake,okay? I get it,we're best friends,that's what this is. Plus we're idols things like this are just a scandal."
"W-wait minha, I didn't mean it like that. I'm really sorry. I know you probably find me weird and you hate me now but ..can we go back to how we were? I shouldn't have done that. I didn't mean to scare you away and i wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation or anything-I-I just didn't control myself and I-"
At this point Minho was getting frustrated. Haru wasn't getting it. He wasn't getting him.
"You aren't getting it!! I don't hate you okay?! I don't hate you and that's the point. After that ,i couldn't even look you in the eye without remembering. I couldn't look at you and pretend that i see you as just a friend.. that's why i don't even want to look at you at all. You said it yourself it was just a mistake and i'm not mad at you at all. I can't be mad at you,i just can't act like i don't like you after that."
Haru's eyes widens. Minho likes him? How? Since when?
"Minah-you..."
"Boys let's go!" Haru was interrupted by the voice of their manager outside.
Before he could speak,Minho already turned around and left.
