°Lost At Sea° (minsung)

°Chapter 18: Conflicting Emotions°

The human just kinda froze for a few moments. Minho raising an eyebrow at his behavior.

"Jisung?"

"Yes! Yes- I uh- I'll be right there!" The blonde had said, sounding a little more enthusiastic than intended.

'Get a grip Jisung! Its just Minho...its just...Minho...'

And despite his efforts to tell himself that he had nothing to worry about because it was Minho, the truth is, the problem was Minho.

He looks back over at the older for a moment, seeing him turned away wading in the water. So very quickly he gets his clothes off taking his coat from off the floor and quickly wrapping it around himself before making his way back over fo Minho.

"And he's returned." The siren chuckles seeing Jisung waddle over

"You can't really bathe if you have a coat on you know-"

"Stop talking. Im embarrassed." The younger says, his face flushed all the way to his ears

Minho coos at him for it but nevertheless he turns away as to save the other some decency.

Jisung slips the coat off and gets into the water, jumping a little because he wasn't expecting it to be so hot but then relaxing and sinking down further.

He sighs in content, closing his eyes as the warm water engulfs his body.

For a while it was just silence, both of them just sitting and enjoying the warm water whitout actually washing themselves.

That was until Minho moved to grabbed the soap off one of the ledges.

Jisung stayed still as Minho got himself clean, it was in all honesty a really peaceful moment between them even though they didn't even interact with eachother.

"Jisung" The older's voice makes him open his eyes

"Hmm?"

"Here" Minho holds out the soap for the other to take to which he does

And again no words are spoken as Jisung washes himself, just the sound of the water moving when the younger moves.

When he's done, Jisung just puts the soap back on the ledge and relaxes back in the water, closing his eyes once more.

"Jisung..." Minho's voice came back again, sounding a lot closer this time

The blonde opened his eyes only to jump slightly when he saw the older right infront of him, very much in his personal space bubble.

"Uh- yes..?" He blinks repeatedly and stares up wide eyed at the other

But Minho doesn't say anything, the look on his face showing he wanted too but his mouth couldn't seem to find the words.

"Is everything okay?" Jisung asks, leaning foward a bit with concern

The siren nods although he looks rather unsure of himself.

Before Jisung could say a thing else he leans in and the younger's breath hicks.

Minho leans in and hugs him, tucking his head in the blonde boy's neck and sighing. Jisung frowns. Was he really okay?

The younger wraps his arms around him and rubs his back to provide any- some sort of comfort. He felt bad and he didn't even know what was wrong.

In reality, Minho's emotions were conflicting with his strict "Don't get attached" rule.

He felt strongly towards the younger, knowing now that if anything bad were to happen to the small human it would take a toll on him.

He was scared of losing him too.
