“You’re losing him,” Jinki denotes.

“Shut up, Jinki,” Minho hisses.

A chair creeks as a body shifts, “I can see it in his writing. Would you like to read it?” Jinki lures.

“No, I can’t be second guessing myself. I always second guess myself, look at what that’s brought me. I need to believe that whatever I’m doing this time is going to work,” Minho’s voice is unconvinced.

“I know the way you’ve been handling this time has had a gentle demeanor, but you can’t tell me you’ve never been tempted to be a bit more forceful,” Jinki offers.

Minho doesn’t answer at first, “a few days ago I did … but it would never work. Hurting him intentionally would only taint his image of me.”

Jinki chuckles, “Why have Jonghyun around if you aren’t going to use his advice?”

“Hurting him wasn’t exactly what he meant,” Minho omits.

Jinki breathes, aggravated, “but he implied it. Jonghyun will always tip-toe around the things that need to be said. He was made that way. I was not. I know you weren’t either. You know how I know that? 'Cause you are no different than me."

"Don't ever compare me to you. I'm nothing like you. We are nowhere near the same breed," Minho growls.

Jinki laughs, "Everyone thinks your superior ... I honestly don't see it. It doesn't matter what you or anyone else says. I can see it in you, you know we are the same. I'm just a little wiser."

"Your wisdom is of no use to me, Jinki," Minho hisses.

"Heavy hands aren’t always wanted, but they’re sometimes needed,” Jinki affirms calmly.

Hello lovlies :D Sorry about the hiatus v.v I stopped working on the story for a little while, but lately I've been trying to finish the story. I'm not done with it quite yet. I have to keep revising. I keep giving away too much too soon. I hope you guys understand >.< Moveslikeshinee I'm glad you liked the chapter :D Sorry for taking so long to reply. I was gonna reply as soon as I was done with the story, but I'm too excited to wait xD I want to know what you guys think already! Yamalin >.< can i call you by your name? It's all right. Please don't apologize v.v I hope you're feeling better. I actually thought you were just reading and not commenting. Most of my subs don't really comment. I don't mind it, I just appreciate the audience. I'm a really quiet person myself. I can't even call the attention of a waitor at a restaurant >.< So I get it if people don't want to comment. I hope you feel better. I hope none of my other readers are sick :( Hope you guys like the chapter :D
