Maybe This Time // Minsung

91. Moon And Stars🍃

Once Minho picked up the phone I was left speechless at what to say.

I didn't know if I should give out, cry or shout at him. I was angry.

Then I realised that what was the point in giving out? My brother was literally dying in the room next door.

"Jisung?" I zoned back in. I took a breath. "Min" I mumbled.

"Yeah? Everything okay?" He asked. I bit my lip "I know you said we shouldn't get like.. Political but... Jihwan..."

Minho hummed urging me to continue. "Is he okay? I know he's not doing well-"

"He's really sick" I ended up crying. "Oh baby" Minho let out when he heard me cry "Ji bub, don't cry" He sounded so hurt to just hear me cry.

I felt bad for crying. "Do you wanna come over?" He asked. "No.." my thoughts ran wild.

I had lately been able to control my over active mind. Less over thinking and way less worrying. But suddenly endless outcomes of what could happen if I went over to Minho's House flooded in.

What if I said something to his dad? What if I revealed I was Velorean? Would he arrest me? Would I end up like Jihwan? Would I disappoint Minho? Would I get mad at Minho?

"No one's home, love. You can come over" He said again. Then those thoughts vanished and I agreed.

I quickly got ready and told mom I was heading off to Minho's house.

Minho opened the door and brought me in for a hug. I felt instantly at ease.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head, in honesty I wasn't.

I couldn't even think anything. Each thought that would come up in my head was replaced with another one moments after and it became an endless chase to even sort out my response.

Minho guided me inside further. Taking my jacket off and hanging it up on a chair in the kitchen. He brought me over with him to the kitchen counter where he pulled out a saucepan and grabbed milk from the fridge.

"Hot chocolate?" He asked. I nodded my head. He poured in some milk into the pan before putting it on the stove to heat up. He placed a wooden spoon into the pot before bringing his full attention back to me.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. I didn't move. "Chan and I went shopping earlier!" Minho smiled. I looked at him "Really? For what?"

"He um.. Wanted to buy underwear" He replied. I laughed "And he needed you for that?" I asked. Minho nodded "Obviously? I'm the best underwear buyer going!"

I snorted. "Sure you are" He then took out two cups and poured the hot chocolate into them both. "Cream?" He asked. I nodded "If you have some"

"Of course" He smiled and went to the fridge. He took out a small pot of cream and then got a spoon. He placed a big dollop of cream on top of my one and handed it to me.

"Thanks" I smiled taking the mug. He added cream to his too before we made our way to the living room.

"Okay maybe I bought you something" Minho laughed. He placed down his cup and pulled out a small box from the drawer in the living room.

He handed it to me as we sat down. "Here!" he smiled. "Min, what's this for?"

"Can I not buy my boyfriend a gift?"

It was a silver bracelet. With a few key rings of moon and stars. Jisung smiled brightly "It's gorgeous"

Minho helped him put it on.
