thirty three 🧸

The next day, Minho walked beside his boyfriend and slipped his hand into Jisung's as they made his way to his locker. Many people fell silent when they spotted the couple holding hands and murmuring could be heard here and there. Jisung was still in complete shock at Minho's 180° of actions.

As they stopped at Jisung's locker, he slipped his hand out of Minho's to punch in his locker combination. Jisung kept his gaze on his locker as he asked Minho the question that's been poking at him the last 24 hours.

"Minho hyung?"

Minho leaned on the locker next to it. "Yes baby?"

Jisung froze for a moment, feeling his heart rate get a little quicker before shaking off the pet name. "What made you suddenly feel okay with being affectionate in public?"

Minho sighed as he looked at Jisung's side profile, and his face was littered in bruises and cuts. "Seeing you yesterday being hurt by that imbecile really angered me."

Jisung giggled. "Imbecile is a funny word." Jisung looked at his boyfriend and shook his head at his own antics. "Anyways please continue."

"When I saw you hurting and crying, I didn't want to just watch like I had years prior. You're my boyfriend and you're my priority. I shouldn't let someone hurt you because I was scared of what people would say if I defended you. I realized that loving you and having you in my life is more important than what people think of me."

Jisung's stomach erupted with butterflies as he listened to Minho reason why he was no longer afraid to love him in public. Even though it was a little painful to smile at the moment, Jisung lived through the pain as he beamed at his boyfriend. "Really?"

"Really. And besides," Minho snaked his arms around Jisung's waist and kissed his cheek. "I want to hug you like you've been hugging that teddy bear for years."

"Aw shut it."
