Maybe This Time // Minsung

83. Older Brother Scare Him🍃

I got dressed into something a little nicer than my pj bottoms, so I pulled up a pair of jeans.

I wanted to keep the hoodie on though, so I did. I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen where Jihwan chatted with mom and dad.

Grandad was also here. I didn't even pay any mind to him as I made my entrance.

"Minho is coming over" I announced. My mom looked at me with a little skeptic look. My dad smiled and nodded happily and Jihwan gasped.

"He is!?" He asked. I nodded "He um... Wants to meet you so-" Jihwan clapped his hands and stood up. "I better go get ready then!"

He then left the kitchen.

"Who's Minho?" My grandad asked. I looked at him then to my mom. She gave me a small smile and nodded "He's someone special" I smiled.

My grand furrowed his brows. "Special?" He asked. "His best friend" My dad replied. My grandad looked at him "Did I ask you, boy?" he asked sternly.

My dad just looked down at the newspaper in his hands. I gulped a little at the interaction. My grandad looked back at me and smiled "Is he your best friend then kiddo?"

I looked at my mom again. She didn't look as sure what I should do. I cleared my throat "Something like... That" I mumbled.

"Jisung!!!" Jihwan shouted down at me. "Go on and help him would you?" Mom said to me with a sigh. "He's forgotten how to be a human" she rolled her eyes.

I hummed and made my leave. I briefly heard grandad mumble "Ah those times were fun" and I instantly froze.

What did he mean by that?

I didn't dwell on the thought as Jihwan called me again. "What!?" I walked into his room

He held up two shirts "This one" It was a football Jersey "or this one" that was a plain white polo shirt.

"I dunno, which ever you want"

"But this is your boyfriend! Which one would be more intimidating?" He asked. I shrugged "Why do you want to intimidate him?"

Jihwan groaned "You're no help" Then he threw the two t-shirts on the bed.

I shrugged and left his room before hearing the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!!" I ran down the stairs and to the front door. I opened it and there stood Minho, looking as handsome as ever.

"Hey" He smiled nervously. "Hi" I replied softly. "You look nervous-"

"Do I have to act Velorean?" He asked instantly. My eyes widened a little "What?"

"He... Jihwan.. Isn't he in the VA? Do I have to act Velorean to pass by him or-" I brought my hand to his cheek. "Hey calm down" I started.

He took a breath and smiled slightly. "Sorry I just... I didn't prepare myself to meet him so quickly... Then you said that you met my dad and I realised that was probably just as bad as it would be for me to do this so"

I smiled "Um. My grandad is here too and so is my dad" I said. "They don't know about us though" I took his hand into mine. The look Minho gave me after I told him that made me wonder what in my mind made me think that would make the situation any better.

"Jisung! Is that him?" Jihwan called as he came down the stairs. I looked up at him "Yeah"

Minho's hand squeezed mine slightly "You'll be okay" I looked back at him. "Jihwan is just a dumbass" I smiled.

I quickly kissed him just before Jihwan appeared behind me. Minho froze. Jihwan grinned "Well, don't leave the man standing outside!" He pulled me away and brought Minho inside.
