blind to toxicity - minsung

chapter forty

after school, minho was walking down the corridor to see jisung already waiting outside the library doors.

as minho laid his eyes on jisung for the first time since pe, he had to stop his jaw from dropping.

jisung was wearing cherry red cargo trousers as well as a white tshirt that accentuated his waist perfectly. he had his boyfriends hoodie slung over his arm as he was scrolling on his phone.

"oh hey, min!" jisung beamed as he looked up "sorry i'm early, but i wasn't waiting long."

minho shook his head as he tried not to stare.
"i was late coming don't worry, i had to walk from the other side of the building after geography."

jisung nodded to him before turning to push open the door, allowing the pair to walk in.

as the library was fairly empty, jisung and minho decided to sit on the second floor. it was a popular spot among the students as there was a huge glass window that overlooked the campus.

jisung lifted out his laptop as minho did the same with his textbooks. the pair smiled to each other before beginning to work on their assignment for that week.

soon enough, the pair were over an hour into their study session.

jisung was currently distracted by the sunset as the bold colours illuminated the library.

he stared out the window as he rested his chin on his fist. he quickly turned his attention back to his laptop as a notification had made a soft ping.

"oh yeah, jisung?" minho called as he sat back against his chair. "i was planning to watch that nature show you like?"

"anddd?" jisung dragged out with a smile as he continued to type.

"i erm, didn't get to." minho laughed as jisung turned to him, "yeah, chan wouldn't let me watch it because he hasn't seen the newest episode and doesn't want to me potentially spoil it for him."

"ah that's too bad!" jisung grinned, yet his smile slowly faded when he thought about the past week.

"you know..." he sighed, "i've been feeling kinda guilty about this past week."

"woah, what?" minho softly asked as he turned to him in confusion. "why?"

jisung shrugged "like, i've been spending so much time with jae that i've hardly had any time for any of you guys, i've missed chaminhos."

his voice was small as he had briefly caught minhos eyes. "i...i miss you, minho."

"oh..." minho gulped. "but you shouldn't feel guilty about it, ji." he replied as he met jisung's eyes again.

"i shouldn't?"

"no, not at all!" minho shook his head. "i mean you're spending more time with won-jae because you can...i mean he's going out tonight so you can have some time to yourself."

"right," jisung mumbled as he fiddled with his fingers. "time to myself..."

minho heard the sadness in his voice and was about to comfort him when jisung spoke up.

"wait!" he quickly brought his voice down as he looked around the library, "what if you come over tonight?"

"y-you want me to come over?" minho stuttered as jisung held his arm.

"yeah!" he beamed, "we can watch the newest documentary episode and you can have dinner with me and my parents."

"y-yeah, i'd love to." minho let out a soft chuckle as jisung did a small happy dance before minho turned to save his work and close his laptop.
