𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐀 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥 ♡ MinSung

Ch. 73

Jisung was only just starting to get comfortable sitting this close next to Minho while everyone else complete forgot about them, getting back into their regular flow of conversations.

They were suppose to eat dinner together at around 6pm or something, and then dessert, which apparently Chan and Minho had made together, before going to open presents.

Jisung was extremely nervous, his hands shaking and his knees feeling weak, despite being seated.

He knew that Felix was having a great time messing around with everyone, and he couldn't bother the boy, so he suffered in silence.

Most of them were dressed up kind of nicely, as well as Jisung, but he still felt super insecure. What if they hated his outfit? What if they thought he looked fat? What if his thighs looked too big while he sat down?

He felt Minhos lean slightly close, his arm going behind him, resting on the back of the couch. Jisung could basically feel the elders eyes on the side of his face, burning holes into his skin, and it only made him feel all the more self conscious.

He shifted uncomfortable in his seat as Minho leaned slightly closer, but not enough for anyone to really notice, especially since everyone was yelling and laughing, not paging any mind.

"You're not dressed up today." Minho said quietly, "I figured you'd be wearing a skirt since you seem to be doing that lately."

Jisung glanced over to him, his face getting excessively red and his neck and ears turning pink. It was hard not to notice the blush.

"That was a one time thing.." Jisung whispered, only loud enough for Minho to hear, and maybe Felix but he apparently didn't.

"Did I just catch you at the wrong time then?" Minho asked, "I apologize for any inconvenience." He smirked looking away, only to see that Jeongin had been watching the whole interaction, smiling.

Minho rolled his eyes, could he just get a moment to himself.

Jeongin leaned over Minho, who was sitting in between them, to talk to Jisung for a moment, "What did you just say to you?" He asked.

When Minho opened his mouth to speak, Jeongin proceeded to grab a tissue from the coffee table and shove it into his mouth.

Jisung watched in shock as Minho coughed it up, going to push Jeongin off of the couch entirely, "The fuck was that for?" He asked as Jeongin struggled to keep his place.

"You were clearly making him uncomfortable with that big ass mouth of yours-" Jeongin said, as he fell on his butt, pulling Minho down with him.

"I was not!" Minho said, everyone now watching them as the struggled with one another.

"You probably were." Changbin said, taking a sip of what looked like straight vodka.

"Wait-" Jisung paused, "I thought you were underage?" He looked at Changbin.

"It's possible.. but in Canada I would be legal so-" Changbin waved his drink around and Chan snatched it out of his hand.

"I told you, no drinking!" He set it on the table far away from the younger.

"Ugghhhhh!" Changbin groaned, "Why is Hyunjin drinking then? Hes younger than me!"

"Woah," Hyunjin looked offended, "No reason to throw mw under the bus-"

"Can I try it?" Everyone paused to look at Jisung, the owner of the small voice. Immediately Jisung regretted ever opening his mouth, it was stupid.

"I didn't take you as the type to break rules like that..." Seungmin said finally.

"Well I'm not.. I've just never tried anything like that ans I wanted to know what it was like." He looked at his shoes.

"Yeah, okay." Chan said getting up and sliding the drink across the table.

"He's still in high-school, and I don't get to drink?" Changbin yelled, "How little faith do you have in me!" He asked, looking over to the eldest of the group.

"You dont want to know the answer to that question. Trust me." Chan said, "Try it, Jisubg." He looked over at the boy, holding the drink in his hand with a look of wonder on his face.

"Try a little sip at first. That stuff will fuck you up.." Minho warned, still struggling with Jeongin on the ground.

Jisung nodded, everyone watching as he brought the glass to his lips, "Carefull Jiji.." Felix put his hand on the youngers lower back.

Not really caring about Minho's words, Jisung took a large gulp, not thinking it would really be as strong as it was advertised.

As the liquid touched Jisungs tongue he was hit was an overwhelming burning sensation that made his face scrunch up, and when he swallowed it got much worse.

He quickly set the drink down on the table, his eyes tearing up right away as he started to sniffle.

Some of the boys laughed at his cute reaction while Chan got up to get him a glass of something else.

"Don't like it?" Minho asked placing his hand on Jisungs knee, still seated on the floor but no longer fighting with Jeongin.

Jisung shook his head immediately, "It burns.." he said weakly.

Felix smiled, pulling his friend into a tight hug, "Aww.." he cooed, "You're so precious."

Jisung started blushing as Chan returned, handing Jisung a glass, "Have some chocolate milk. Free of vodka."

Jisung nodded, taking the glass and placing it so his lips, relieved by the soft taste.

He watched as Minho got up back onto the couch, lifting the glass on the way and effortlessly taking a sip. He made a slight face but didn't seem to bothered overall.

Jisung watched in aw at the elder, amazed that he could do that.

"And Minho gets to drink it?" Changbin yelled, "Chan, this is bullshit!"

"Watch your mouth young one!" Chan said, "And you too Minho, you don't get that-" he snatched the drink from the younger.

"I wanna try again." Jisung said, eyeing the glass, "I was probably just unprepared, if Minho can do it so can I!"

Chan shrugged, "Small sips, Jisung."

Jisung took the vodka back, taking a smaller sip, but the pain wasn't any better. It might have actually been worse than before.

Jisung immediately started coughing again, Minho taking that cup and putting it down for him.

Felix rubbed his back as the tears came back, "It's not better-" he shook his head, wiping tears away with his thumb.
