Author's pov:

It was getting late, but jisung wouldn't allow himself to sleep, he wanted to be awake when minho would come back, but he was getting a bit worried, as it was already past 11pm and he went outside at 9pm, the older politely asked jisung's mom for spare keys as he knew he would come late, and she gave it to him because if her son trusts him then she should do the same. haneul and byungho were already asleep, but jisung was still sitting on the floor by the principal door, because he knew that if he waited on his bed, he would already be asleep.

After a few minutes, jisung was already dozing off, when he heard the 'click' sound of the doorknob, his eyes immediately fluttered open, "jisung..? What are you doing on the floor?" Minho curiously asked.

"waiting for you, duh" jisung stood up, the silver haired felt a warm feeling inside his chest, he couldn't deny that he was happy that the other was waiting for him, "i recall telling you to not wait, i said i was gonna be late" minho reminded.

jisung just ignored that and asked him instead "why are you so late? Where were you? I got worried", "i just took a ride around the city to freshen up my mind, don't worry" minho gave jisung a sweet smile, as if he wasn't even upset the last time they talked, he decided to pretend as if nothing happened, just like he said.

On the other hand jisung was a bit relieved that minho was feeling better now, at least that's what he thaught.

"Ok..have you eaten?" Jisung asked for the Nth time.

"Hahah why are you suddenly acting like a housewife?"

Jisung gave minho a 'how dare you' glare "haha. funny", minho just laughed at the other's reaction "i know, im so funny" he sassed while dramatically rolling his eyes and flipping his non existent long hair.

The pair kept on laughing as they entered jisung's room where he already prepared a place beside his bed for minho to sleep on, "are you ok with it?" The brunette asked, "yeah i'm even more than ok, thank you for your caaare!" he said while laying on the pile of supposedly bed covers, to his surprise it was comfortable, which he felt grateful for the younger.

Jisung also laid on his bed, finally he was going to get some sleep...he shifted to his right side.. to his left side, laid on his stomach.. relayed on his back.......he couldn't sleep.

After a few minutes jisung carefully whispered, not intending to wake up the latter if he was already sleeping "hyung.. are you asleep?", He surprisingly got an answer "no, i can't sleep..", jisung then sat on his knees and faced the other,"me neither, lets play a game!" He turned on the lights.

"Like what?" Minho asked as he also sat up, rubbing his eyes as the light almost blinded him.

"Umm...i don't know..let me think" jisung tapped his chin with his index finger in a thinking motion which the older found rather cute, at that point, when is he not cute? Right?

Minho wanted to know a lot of things about the latter, so what other game would be beneficial for him more than truth or dare, "we could play truth or dare..?"

Jisung jumped up, he liked the idea of forcing the other to answer all of his question, minho didn't talk much about himself afterall, so this was a good opportunity. It was a win win situation for both of them.

"YUP let's do that!"

"Ok, who goes first?"

"I go first! Hyung, truth or dare?"

"Umm truth"

"Ughh no fun!" Jisung whined, but soon after asked a simple question he was very curious about "hyung..are you mad at me..?"

"No? I'm not"

"Then why did y-"

"These are two question..ok my turn, truth or dare?"

"..truth?"

"See? You're no better" minho laughed at the younger's reaction, who just glared at him "yeah yeah! Just ask me now" jisung annoyingly rolled his eyes.

"Ok then, umm.. i dont know if i can ask about that but I'll do it anyways-"

"Just do it!" Jisung grew impatient.

"Is there.. something wrong between you and.. your step father..?"

The playful and annoyed expression on jisung's face dropped into a distressed one, he was now looking down while playing with his fingers, thinking wether he should or should not tell minho about the past events that occurred, but then remembered the promise he made to the other the previous day, he could trust minho and he knew that, so he started narrating everything, minho just listened attentively to the latter until the end.

Byungho didn't seem like a bad person at first sigh, let's say he's good at disguising himself into someone he's not, minho noticed tears forming in jisung's eyes so out of nature, he sat next to him and pulled him into a comforting hug, jisung was a very energetic ball full of jokes, his whole personality was very sweet and pure, but he had to hide it, all of it, he hid from people because he was always scared, he couldn't go outside alone to buy groceries, because he was scared, he couldn't willingly make new friends in college or be outgoing with anyone other than his circle of buddies, also because he was scared. Scared of everyone that would come near him, it was hard for him to trust people, so he doubted everyone. Living in a world of mistrust, which only him was experiencing, he was alone, and no one could feel nor understand that, no matter who it was.

"That's horrible.." minho said, still holding tightly on the other, who's head was placed on the latter's shoulder. Jisung never told anyone about byungho, not even his closest friends, so after spilling everything, he was surprisingly feeling relieved. Minho was gently patting jisung's back when he heard a soft sniffle, he was crying..

Minho instinctively held jisung face to observe it, there were visible tear stains on the younger's cheeks, he was indeed crying, if a person's heart could actually break, minho's would already be shuttered to small fragments, he couldn't stand jisung's hurt expression, and that from the very first day, when he saw him crying in the bathroom.

Jisung wiped his tears and pulled himself away, taking a deep breath in the process, "ok! Let's continue the game and forget about that!" He obviously didn't like the subject.

"Are you sure..?"

"Yeah, please?" Jisung pleaded

"Ok fine" minho sweetly smiled at jisung

"Truth or dare"

"no more questions, i choose dare"

"Then.. uuuh you should, uuh- wait"

"Suddenly I'm feeling sleepy" minho fake yawned, to tease the younger.

"Kiss me hyung"
