The gentle giant {Yungi}

Chapter 11

"H-Hey..." Mingi greeted as Yunho opened his door.

Yunho stood at the door in awe, seeing Mingi in his casual wear with a box of what seemed like a cake in hand.

Mingi looked up guiltily, "I figured you went home straight away yesterday, and I haven't thanked you properly..." He stopped and raised up the box of cake, "Here, as a thank you."

Yunho laughed heartily, "Thanks! You wanna come in and have this with me?" He asked as he took over the box of cake and opened his door wider, inviting Mingi in.

Mingi shook his head, "Nah, I've gotta study, I missed school yesterday, gotta keep up."

Yunho nodded in understanding, when he suddenly walked out of his apartment and locked the door.

Mingi was confused, "Where're you going?"

Yunho tilted his head equally confused, "To your apartment?"

Mingi jumped up, "Why?!"

"To share this cake with you?" Yunho replied, as if unsure about his answer as well.

Mingi squinted his eyes in confusion but nodded his head nevertheless, "Fine, but don't bother me while I'm studying."

Yunho smiled warmly, "Duly noted!"

The two walked into Mingi's apartment together. Yunho quickly scanned around. The mess made from yesterday were now spotlessly cleaned. But the scent of two alphas' pheromones still lingers in the air. This weirdly made Yunho giddy and happy.

When something hits Yunho's mind, "Hey Mingi, you feeling better now?"

Mingi jerked up in surprise at the sudden mention, "Uhm yes, thanks to you." Mingi blushed, the image from yesterday instantly popped up in his mind.

He turned around to face Yunho, "I hope I wasn't of any trouble to you yesterday." Feeling genuinely apologetic for using Yunho like that. He lowered his head, waiting for Yunho to scold him.

Yunho felt a bitter and sour sensation rising in him, he clenched his teeth, feeling agitated for God knows what, he couldn't even explain what he was feeling himself.

Yet he took a small breath to calm himself, "It's nothing, I'm glad that I could be of help."

Mingi raised his head, staring into the tall boy's eyes, glaring into his soul, he sighed, "Thanks anyways."

He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a fork. He gestured for Yunho to sit down at the living room table, which the taller gladly complied.

"Eat." Mingi gave Yunho the fork and pointed at the cake. He then sat down beside Yunho with a bunch of books and pens, "I'll study here."

Yunho nodded quietly and started digging into the cake as he watched Mingi push back his hair. He never really noticed Mingi's hair, it was curly and fluffy, reminding him of a poodle dog. Some hair were sticking out all over the place. Yunho giggled, 'He must've had a really good sleep last night.' He thought as he took a big bite of the cake.

He let his eyes roam about Mingi's body. The black t-shirt he had on perfectly complimenting his toned figure, making his skin look paler. His sight slowly moved down to his pants, when an image of yesterday hits his thoughts.

He coughed out harshly, accidentally choking on the cake. 'God, you're making a fool out of yourself.' Yunho thought to himself as he struggled to breath. Mingi on the other hand was running around, bringing him water and tissues.

After a few seconds of nearly dying, Yunho looked up at Mingi teary eyed, still trying to act tough by smiling at him, which made Mingi burst out in laughter.

"Idiot." The only thing that Mingi could squeeze out in between breaths while he laughs.

Yunho looked around, not sure of what he was laughing at. But Mingi's laughter was so contagious that he too started laughing. At the end the two were holding their stomachs just lying on the floor panting exhaustedly.

"What were you laughing at?" Yunho being the first one that caught his breath.

Mingi took some time to register his thoughts, "Nothing." And got up. He smiled at Yunho, "Just that you look so stupid just now."

"Tsk." Yunho huffed out and sat back up, "I gotta use the restroom."

~.~.~.~.

Yunho came out minutes later to see that the living room was now clean. And Mingi was silently sitting at the table, absorbed in his studies.

The taller didn't want to disturb Mingi so he walked around the house to find something interesting to do.

He noticed the kitchen floor had some stains, so he grabbed a couple of tissues and started wiping the floor. When he suddenly noticed a small pot of plant sitting at the corner of Mingi's room, close to wilting, he quickly grabbed a small cup of water and started watering the plant. He raised his head to see Mingi's books laying all over the table, he furrowed his brows and started organizing his desk.

{A few hours later}

Mingi was finally done. He stretched his limbs and body to loosen up, grunting softly.

He looked around, the box of unfinished cake still displayed on the table but Yunho was nowhere to be seen.

"Did he leave?" Mingi whispers to himself as he got up and placed the cake in his fridge. He was so into his studying that he missed the taller leaving.

Mingi furrowed his brows. "Why are all my stuff so shiny?"

When suddenly he heard a soft grunt coming from the bathroom. Mingi instantly went into defensive mode.

"Yunho?" Mingi called out, speed walking towards the bathroom.

The shorter slammed open the door, only to see Yunho crouching at the corner, with a sponge in hand.

"Are you... washing my bathroom?" Mingi was genuinely confused.

Yunho smiled awkwardly, "Hey..."

Mingi crossed his arms against his chest, "What are you doing?"

Yunho quickly dropped the sponge, "Cleaning...?"

It makes no sense, Mingi shook his head, "Why?"

Yunho gulped, "I was bored..." He looked up, giving Mingi puppy eyes, looking wronged and sad.

Mingi was very certain if Yunho had ears, they would be pressed firmly against his head, like an airplane.

Mingi couldn't help but give in to Yunho's puppy eyes. He put out his hand, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up and we'll have dinner."

Yunho happily put his hand on Mingi's, allowing the shorter to pull him up.

Mingi guided Yunho to the door, wanting to send Yunho home to take a shower.

The taller quickly turned around, "Where are you bringing me?"

Mingi tilted his head, "Home, to shower."

Yunho refused. He jumped into Mingi's arms, hugging the shorter tightly. Nuzzling his face into Mingi's neck, "I don't wanna go home..."

Mingi's heart melted at Yunho's pleading voice, how can a tall and strong guy like Yunho be so adorable. He patted Yunho's back, "It's right next door, and you have to shower, you're covered in sweat."

Yunho hugged tighter, and Mingi swore, he could see Yunho's tail wagging in joy when Mingi suggested they have dinner over at Yunho's.

"Okay!" Yunho happily agreed, now wanting to drag Mingi over to his apartment.
