You understand me - Minsung

Chapter 43

For the following week, Minho was awfully silent. He was slowly getting better but he was having a hard time, mostly when it came to his emotional state.

He didn't go to university that week either. He had a hard time walking because of his wounds and it wasn't easy when you're a dance major student. He mostly stayed at home, starting to slowly walk around the house and try to stay active, but he still spent most of his time in his bed, sleeping or staring at nothing.

Jisung had accepted his silence. He understood that Minho needed time to be fully back so he didn't disturb him when Minho needed his calm. He still tried sometimes to talk to the boy, even if he just tried to talk about his day or about silly things, and Minho would answer him.

Jisung was taking care of him. He stayed at his house for the whole week. He went to college for his classes, came back with Minho's classes notes that Hyunjin made for him, would help him eat and take his pills, would help him walk a bit around the house, would take care of his wounds and then would sleep beside him. He did that on a daily basis, and would always make sure that Minho had somehow a nice day before getting to sleep.

When they laid beside each other at night, none of them could find sleep easily. Jisung was a bit worried for the next day, wondering what he should do with Minho to try to make him more active. Minho on the other side was feeling guilty to make his lover run everywhere just for his sake.

He was looking at the back of his head, as he brought his hand to Jisung's hair and started caressing it soothingly, thinking that his boy was asleep.

Jisung smiled as he felt it, and turned back to Minho, seeing that the boy was looking at him lovingly.

"You're not sleeping?" Minho asked

"I was almost asleep"

"I woke you up?" Minho said, pouting

"Nah, don't worry" Jisung said with a smile, as he was interrupted by a big yawn.

"You look tired" Minho stated, as he brought his hands to cup Jisung's face.

"I'm a bit tired"

"I'm sorry I'm making you work that hard" Minho said, guilt flashing through his eyes.

"You don't have to be sorry, and you didn't ask me anything" Jisung reassured as he put his hands on the boy's ones.

"But you're still doing it. You overworking yourself for my sake"

"Because I want to. I'm showing you that we're strong when we're together, right?" He said, as he kissed the tip of his nose softly.

"Right..."

"Then, when you'll feel better, I'll make you work for me so I can sleep for 72 hours without interruption" Jisung joked and Minho chuckled

"You've got everything ready huh?"

"Yep"

Minho stared at his eyes while Jisung was chuckling. It was crazy how the man made him feel.

"I cannot express how grateful I am Ji" Minho said as his features softened

"Then don't" Jisung responded, smirking a bit

"You know what you are to me?" Minho started, his eyes still soft, as if he was entranced by Jisung.

"Tell me"

"Some kind of ... wait no, nevermind" Minho retracted when he got out of his trance. There were some things that were better left unsaid. A frown appeared on his head as he realized what he was about to say, shaking it off.

"Wait, what?" Jisung asked, a frown growing on his face as well.

"Nothing, forget it"

"Tell me or I'll tickle you until you answer" Jisung threatened and Minho let out a chuckle.

"Well... I was going to say that you are some kind of a reason to live for me, something I haven't found in years, but I don't want to guilt trip you on thinking that you should stay with me because of that and-" Minho started blabbing, but he was cut off by Jisung's lips on his own.

He kissed him hard, wanting to give him back as much love as he could.

"Keep calm, I think that this is really sweet. If I can help you get a reason to live, that is this time for yourself, then I'll gladly help" Jisung said after detaching their lips, holding his hand tightly.

Minho didn't know what he did to deserve Jisung. He couldn't stop looking at him as if it was the most valuable thing in the world.

"Jisung"

"Yes"

"I want you" Minho blurted out, and Jisung's eyes widened

"We're not go- gonna fuck when we're so emotionnaly weak that is-" Jisung stuttered, a bit surprised

He was cut off by Minho's sweet laughter filling his ears

"I was-" He stopped talking because of the laugh he couldn't keep "I was saying that I want to be with you, like I want you to be mine, not having sex" Minho explained as he couldn't stop laughing

"Oh" Jisung let out as he understood, his cheeks getting warm.

"Perv" Minho teased and Jisung pushed him slightly

"Shut up" Jisung said as he pecked his lips softly "And I'm already yours, idiot"
