Red String | Minsung

서른아홉

Jisung squirmed as he woke up, attempting to stretch but was unable to do so because a certain someone was clinging onto him. The blonde had gotten fairly used to the older cuddling him, so he didn't immediately think of pushing him off. Eventually, though, Jisung wanted to check his phone, but his movement was restricted, meaning he had to push Minho off of him. The younger attempted to push the brunette's arm off of him, which made him scrunch his nose. "Minho, can you let go of me?" He asked in a soft tone. Of course, Minho didn't budge. Jisung had discovered that it was difficult to wake up the older during the time they've been together.

He tried to push his arm off again, which only made Minho groan in protest and pull the younger closer to him. Jisung felt his face heat up because of the other's action. He debated on whether he should keep trying to get Minho off of him, which meant having to move or stay the way they are. Come to think of it, the blonde felt very comfortable right now. He decided on the second option.

After about ten minutes, he was about to fall asleep when Minho opened his eyes. The two made eye contact for a few seconds before the brunette realized what situation they were in. He quickly let go of the younger. "S-sorry! I don't know why this keeps happening!" He apologized, his face red. "It's fine, I liked it." Jisung mumbled, half asleep. "H-huh?" He stuttered, not expecting to hear that from the younger.

"Uh, I-I mean, I'm used to it by now!" He exclaimed quickly, now wide awake. Shit! Why did I say that? There's no saving me from this! "R-right. Um, I'm gonna go take a shower." The brown-haired male said before climbing out of bed. Jisung felt relieved that Minho didn't mention his mistake. Once Minho left the room, he let out a vast sigh. He realized how close they had gotten in such a short amount of time.

"Ugh, why did I say that? He's probably weirded out now." He groaned. Why did I say that? He decided he didn't want to think about it anymore, smacking his head in an attempt to rid himself of it. Of course, it didn't work. He hugged his knees as he cringed at his own words. Why am I warming up to him so much? It's barely been weeks since we were throwing punches at each other. Jisung laughed at the thought of them fighting.

"Everything we fought about seems so petty now." He said aloud to himself, laughing. Especially since the whole reason we became enemies in the first place has been cleared up. I wonder if I would be less put off about us being soulmates. I mean, he isn't a bad guy, and it isn't like he's ugly... he's quite attractive actually, now that I think about it. 

Wait. Jisung froze, realizing what he had just thought. I did not just think that. I did not just admit that. Before he could panic more about his own thoughts, the bathroom door opened, revealing a shirtless Minho. Oh fuck. He's hot. He's hot. Why didn't I realize this sooner? Why am I just now seeing this? Oh no, I've been staring for too long. He's gonna think I like him, which I definitely do not. Nope, I despise him. Oh my god, just look away! "Uh, Jisung? You okay?"

The blonde was quickly snapped out of his thoughts. "H-huh? Oh. Uh- yeah, definitely. I'm perfect." He stumbled over his words, instantly cringing at himself as soon as the words slipped out. He then glanced away, realizing he was still staring at the brunette. Before Minho could respond, Jisung quickly stood up. "Well, uh- I'm gonna have a shower now." He speed walked over to the bathroom before getting stopped by Minho grabbing his arm.

He flinched before anxiously turning to look at the older. "Uh, can I borrow a shirt? I forgot to pack another one." He asked, scratching the nape of his neck. "Of course!" Jisung responded quickly before rushing over to his closet. "Probably a good thing I asked anyway, otherwise you would've gone to shower with no clothes to change into." Minho pointed out. "Oh, right. That wouldn't have been good." Jisung chuckled dryly. He wanted to smack himself for being so dumb and senseless around the brunette.
