blind to toxicity - minsung

chapter fourteen

after calming down a little, minho had reached the top of the stairs.

he was now facing jisungs bedroom door as he could faintly hear the sound of a muffled documentary episode from the other side.

minho lightly shook his head with a smile and pushed open the door, turning his body round to close it.

as the room was dimly lit, his attention was immediately caught by a small glowing light. he felt a smile creep onto his face as he saw jupiter on the wall above two framed pictures jisung had on his night stand.

one picture was a selfie of him and won-jae lying in bed together smiling. the other was a picture minho had almost completely forgotten about.

it was a picture of the eight friends on the front lawn outside 'chaminhos' on new year's eve.

minho lightly traced his finger over the frame as he remembered how him and jisung had watched the fireworks that night.

he had been too shy to ask jisung to be his midnight kiss, but thankfully, jisung had taken the opportunity to lightly kiss him on the cheek.

platonically of course.

as he heard a slight sniffle, minho whipped his head around to see chan holding onto jisung while both of them continued facing the tv.

"whoa whoa, what's happened?" minho quickly asked as he hurried round to sit in front of his two friends before chan cleared his throat to speak.

"...the penguins are lonely."

minho could only roll his eyes before resting a hand on his chest, looking round the room to calm his heart down.

"chan don't scare me like that...i thought something bad happened."

minho felt a pillow hit his back as he turned to face jisung who held a furrowed expression.

"something bad did happen! the baby penguin's brother went into the water without him!" jisung dramatically pointed at the screen. "look at his little face!"

minho turned round and saw a blank expression on the penguins face...not a thought evident behind its eyes"

"oh no!" minho said sarcastically. "what ever will we do!?"

jisung gave him a playful scowl and gently grabbed his sleeve to tug him down to sit next to him.

the older swallowed hard as he felt jisung's hand tap his leg as he was excitedly asking for his attention.

"look how cute the baby penguins are." jisung awed.

chan was laughing as he lifted up the remote to pause the episode.

"ji, is there anything else you need from your room? otherwise, we're going to be late getting back." he smiled as jisung pouted before standing up to look around.

"ermm, i'll just take one of my pillows. i'm sure jeongin will be bringing the usual six or seven."

as jisung walked over to the top of his bed, minho turned to chan with a hushed voice. "do you think we should ask about his parents?"

chan softly shook his head at minhos question. "not when he's in such a good mood, we'll maybe ask him tomorrow." he said with a small smile before minho nodded.

jisung shuffled back over and placed his chin on chan's head, lightly resting his elbows on his shoulders.

"so what are we going to watch tonight?" he smiled to himself. "it's not like we can force minho to sit through a documentary episode."
