You understand me - Minsung

Chapter 22

For the following weeks, Jisung has been sticking to Minho. They were together everywhere at any time, it didn't matter for any of the two. They hung out way more than they used, mostly because Jisung was constantly asking to see him.

Minho didn't mind, he was glad, but he couldn't understand why Jisung wanted to see him that much.

They were walking home and Jisung was walking slowly, he didn't want to go back home and Minho understood it rather quickly.

"Do you wanna come to my house Ji?" Minho asked as the boy raised his head excitedly

"Wouldn't it be a problem for your parents?" Jisung asked politely

"No, they're out for the evening anyway" Minho explained and Jisung gave him a big smile

"Then let's go" Jisung said as he picked up his pace.

As they arrived, Minho showed him around. They had known each other for nearly a year but had never been to each other's house.

"The weather is still hot, do you wanna lay in the garden?" Minho asked him

"Oh my god, you have a garden?" Jisung asked as he ran to the back door, seeing the beautiful garden there.

"So cool" Jisung muttered as Minho pulled him to the ground. Jisung put his phone on the grass in between them and put one of his playlist on.

They laid down and looked at the sky, the two of them appreciating the sound coming from Jisung's phone.

"Ji?" Minho asked as he looked at the boy

"Yeah?"

"What happened to you this summer?" Minho asked and Jisung visibly tensed.

Jisung turned his head to look at the boy, but the second they locked eyes, Jisung let out a sob, tears pooling out of his eyes like a downfall.

Minho wasn't expecting it. He sat up in a hurry and brought Jisung to him, engulfing him in a tight hug.

"Hey, what's up?" Minho asked with a sweet voice.

"I was so scared" Jisung said with a sniff "I thought something would happen to you because I knew you weren't doing well" Jisung said and Minho tightened the hug "I was so scared to not be able to see you anymore"

Minho couldn't describe what he felt at this moment, but it was definetly something close to his heart breaking in two. He would have never believed that Jisung would get so emotional for that. Minho didn't know he was so important to him.

"It's okay, I'm here now" Minho whispered as he gave a kiss on Jisung's hair.

"I know, I just stressed stupidly"

"It's okay, it's not stupid. I should have explained to all of you that I needed some alone time, I shouldn't have spooked you like that" Minho apologized as Jisung nuzzled his head in Minho's chest.

After some time, Jisung stopped crying, but they detached themselves from each other.

"You know Min" Jisung started

"Mmh?"

"I've never told you why Jae and I broke up"

It was true. When they broke up, Minho and Jisung weren't on speaking terms, so when they mended up, he didn't feel like getting intrusive.

"Do you want to tell me?" Minho said as he passed his hand through Jisung's hair

"I was arguing often with him" Jisung explained as Minho looked at him puzzled. "He was always mad at me for hanging out with you and talking about you. He was really jealous of you I think" He said and Minho tensed

"Of me?" Minho asked, feeling suddenly a bit giddy

"Yes" Jisung said as he hid his face a bit "The day we broke up, he asked me to stop being your friend and stop seeing you. I didn't want to, so he broke up" He added and Minho frowned.

Minho felt a bit guilty now. It kinda was his fault.

"I'm sorr-" Minho started but was cut off by Jisung

"Hey, it's not your fault at all. It was his fault for pushing me into compromises. People in relationship shouldn't force people to do things they don't want to, and never in a million years I would have been okay with cutting off ties with you just for the sake of my relationship" Jisung explained

Minho smiled to himself and felt his heart beating loudly. He was scared that Jisung could hear the soft music his whole system was making.

"He was stupid" Minho simply stated, and chuckled as he felt Jisung nodding into his chest.

"Let's go eat something" Minho said as he helped the boy up.

He looked at him and wiped the rest of the tears under his eyes, then he took his hand and brought him to his kitchen.

"Let's make ramen, mmh?" Minho asked softly and Jisung nodded vigorously

Jisung just sat down at the table and looked at Minho during the whole process, while Minho kept on making their dinner under the burning glance of his crush.

It felt somehow pretty domestic, even when they started eating, they started talking about a few things they haven't been able to tell, about how their classes were going, about everything basically.

Jisung yawned loudly as he was helping Minho to wash the dishes

"I'm tired" Jisung said

"You want to take a small nap?"

"Yes" Jisung said and smiled brightly at him.

Minho finished with the dishes and crouched down in front of Jisung, showing him his back. Jisung laughed as he climbed on his back while giggling, and kept on laughing as he got piggybacked by Minho to his upstairs room, and was thrown on the bed.

"Let's nap" Minho said as he climbed to the bed and laid beside Jisung. But Jisung wasn't content enough, so he turned his back at him and pushed his back onto Minho, asking to be spooned, and that's what Minho did as he wrapped his arms around Jisung and held him tightly. Minho couldn't resist and nuzzled his head in Jisung's neck, loving the feeling of his skin as Jisung giggled cutely.

They stood like that, holding into each other and appreciating the warmth emanating from the other.

After just a few minutes, Jisung drifted to sleep.
