A Bunny to Keep - 2min

"I want a bunny."

And Jisung stares. Just stares.

Minho swears he has a perfectly logical explanation.

(In which witnessing Seungmin play with the bunnies on set puts Minho in a dilemma.)

----------------------------------------

Minho had always found Seungmin adorable.

Like when the boy was at the beach during their stay in Sydney, happily talking to and imitating a walking seagull with tiny little waddles (Minho diligently watched the broadcast since he, unfortunately, couldn't be in a group with Seungmin twice), or during that one fansign where he crouched down and made himself look even smaller than he already does, pretending to be like that toy puppy scooching back and forth on the floor.

... So maybe both his examples are related to animals. Maybe he secretly wishes Seungmin could imitate a kitten one day, even though he still doesn't want to forgive him for not knowing his three cats. Seungmin doesn't have to know.

It's not that he's not adorable if he's not imitating cute animals in some way—he'd get furious sometimes and Minho would still find him just as squishy—but when it's related to these precious critters, the cuteness really intensifies and it gets difficult to keep acting like it doesn't affect him.

And Lee Minho certainly does not lose his cool.

So when he sees Seungmin approaching the bunnies on set after their Couch Talk filming was done, crouching down to his knees and once again making himself look so, incredibly tiny as he wiggles his nose and hops after the furry fluffballs, Minho struggles.

"I want a bunny," he announces to his best friend the very next day.

And Jisung stares. Just stares.

Minho swears he has a perfectly logical explanation.

He is, undoubtedly, in love with the way Seungmin just went and became one with the bunnies yesterday. Replayed the scene in his head over and over and over again until it got too much. But he can't just ask Seungmin to 'do it again,' no—that would be weird, even for him—and he has his dignity.

The solution? Get a bunny that looks like Seungmin. Perfectly logical.

"Jisung, where can I get a bunny?"

The boy slowly sits up from his bed then and blinks at him owlishly, while he, on the other hand, crosses his arms from where he stands, tapping his foot impatiently. "Does this have something to do with Seungmin playing with the bunnies yesterday and you watching over him like a lovesick fool?"

Minho buffers. "Y—no. What are you talking about? I'm not acting suspicious, you're acting suspicious! What's a bunny!"

And with that, he storms off and goes back to his own shared room, dropping to his bed face first and deciding to just go to sleep.

After spending nearly half an hour in the shower trying to figure out how one can take care of a bunny in secret a few days later, the sight that welcomes him when he enters their bedroom makes him stop and widen his eyes just a little.

Sitting on the edge of Minho's bed was Seungmin; soft, fluffy Seungmin, wearing a white bunny onesie with the hood on his head, even, looking up at him with big, innocent eyes.

Minho dies a little inside.

Buying him a bunny onesie didn't even cross his mind. But this is perfect.
