A gentle feeling of fondness or liking.

Minho and Jisung had just gotten home with the cart of groceries and Minho's first thing he did was take the kitten from the cart and carried it into the house to their room, a few soft muttering words as he wiped the kittens eyes of the wet teary gunk that stuck to his seemingly closed eyes. it had rings of varying colors. similar to mouse hair colours but broken into sections. a small white patch over its nose and down its small cheeks where the grey whiskers resides. It was sleeping with content purrs, he hoped to keep it warm on his bed before coming back to help with the groceries.

"Of all things- The thing to give him some sort of emotion was an animal. A softy for a cat huh? Cute..." The words slipped out of Jisungs mouth before he could even register what he had just said. Shaking his head he looked quickly to see if anyone was around to hear his slip up and sure enough he watched Minho round the corner and make his way towards the male. Jisung flushed red as he attempted to put more groceries away as if that is what he had been doing aside for day dreaming and perplexed about the older male. Jisung took a few steps back as his body collided with the cabinets. Minho stepped right beside the younger, pulling a small bowl down just continuing to stare.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Minho chilling whispered out it sent Jisung trying to push himself further away but to no avail. He dried swallowed to the proximity of being near him. This male had massive mood switches that Jisung couldn't tell which was the real him.

"No?" Jisung barely manages to stutter out. Minho released a cute snicker before he whispered into his ear, causing Jisung's body involuntarily shivered at his words. Jisung didn't even realise his arms came up to push against Minho's chest. It was weakly, hardly actually pushing him, but his mind couldn't handle how close the older was. the way he breathed, the stance, the words that stuck a chord with him. 

"No reason to act like this. I'm just a no one right?" His words hit cause Jisungs eyes to widen, a small gasp was heard. Jisung couldn't contain his thoughts, all he could think waz it really was the fact his own words caused him to be cold. Jisung never wanted this to happen. Minho turned away grabbing more groceries and tossing them into the fridge. Jisung barely managed to hold himself up. That was until he left the kitchen again and he heard the bedroom door slam shut from a distance. the eerie silence that filled the kitchen but that of a clock hanging in the living room. the humming sound of the refrigerator shut off in that very moment. it was like the world comically was silencing itself to cause Jisungs anxiety to shoot further up and his guilt swallowing him whole. 

"Fuckin hell..." He breathed out. he just couldn't believe the older has a switch that can cause his heart to stop beating this damn quick. Or how there is this look in his eyes, they wander, as if waiting for something to disappear.

"You really managed to break him huh?"

the words broke Jisung from his overthinking mind as Changbin came from the living room, making way into the kitchen in a muscle top and sweats.

"Changbin? What do I do?" Jisung fiddled with his fingers sighing as he slouched against the counter

"Be honest with him Ji. That's all you have to do. You closed yourself off so much, that you don't even know. Just because you're an introvert doesn't mean you can't break that habit. Talk to him normally. He obviously is still thinking about what was said awhile ago." Jisung only nodded to Changbins words. Of course all of them knew about it, even considering he wasn't here that day when everything went down. Word travelled fast about Jisungs anxiety slip up causing Minho to just 'run away'. No one knew what actually happened. Or how Jisung found him. Ever since that day its been traumatising, a single moment of Minho leaving Jisungs sight has the younger in a full on frenzy overloaded with fear trying to find him.
