"Even the ghost needs a friend."
○

He took the oval shaped object and pressed a button that was on a different object.

The small oval started buzzing and vibrating scaring jisung making him drop the object in that second.

"What are you doing ji?" Minho asked when he heard something fall down.

"N-nothing... im just sorting things that I got... no biggie." He said trying to turn it off.

"Do you need help?" Minho asked from the other room.

"No! Anything but that. Thank you." Jisung said nervously shoving the underwear back into the box with the rest of the stuff.

"Hm? OK." Minho said not thinking much of it.

Jisung sighed in distress. He took the box and went into the bathroom.

Minho had a giant mirror in the bathroom, so jisung wanted to try the thigh-highs on.

He closed the door and took off his pants. Put the underwear on looking at the way it fitted him so well.

"Oooh~ let's try the rest on..." so he put on the skirt and the thigh-highs on surprising himself with the way he looked.

"I hate how well felix knows me..." he frowned cutely.

He put on his normal clothes and put the box away.

He turned around and accidentally bumped into a vase which then fell down and broke making a lot of noise.

Jisung panicked. His eyes got big and something like a reflex clicked in him and his eyes started watering.

Maybe his brain didn't totally forgot everything. And all of this already became a reflex in a way.

He started to pick the glass off of the floor but the glass cut his hands making it bleed all over.

All he could do is just stare blankly.

Minho quickly stormed into the bathroom noticing jisung crouching over the broken vase with teary eyes not talking at all.

"Jisungie... are you ok?!" Minho panicked. "Are you hurt hannie?" Minho walked up to him and touched his head to which jisung flinched.

He looked at minho and connected his bloody hands together to apologize.
"I-im so sorry... I didn't mean to break your vase-" he was crying

"Jisungie- your hands-... I don't care about the vase... its fine... Shh... don't cry baby..." minho said trying to reach for his body but jisung panicked and backed off making the shards of the glass cut deeper into his hands.

"Don't hurt me... please..." jisung said pleading on the ground.

Minho was speachless. "I won't hurt you hannie... its me... minho... did I ever hurt you?" Instead minho reached his hand and waited for jisung to accept his hand.

Jisung all scared and terrified finally looked into his eyes seeing his calming energy and mostly his calming scent felt like a home to him.

So he slowly reached his hand and put it on minhos hand. Minho softly and carefully caressed his hand trying to make jisung calm again so that he could take out all of the shards out of his hands.

"See? I'm not going to hurt you jisungie. Just come here to me, ok?" Minho calmly said smiling.

Jisung hicked and slowly got up just to be embraced by minhos hug right away. He was crying for a few seconds and then calmed down.

"Is it ok now?" Minho asked patting his head.

Jisung blinked few times. "I-im sorry... I don't know what's gotten to me..." he said amd then his hands started hurting from the cuts.

"Its fine now. Let's go and take the shards out ok?" Minho wasn't trying to make jisung cry again by asking what happened, so he just brushed it off.

-

Minho cleaned his hands and disinfected them so that they would heal and not get infected.

"Its all good now hannie." Minho said smiling and received a small smile from jisung as well.

-

Later that day, minho didn't wanted to bring the situation back to jisung so that he wouldn't trigger something again.

That's why he decided to call chan.

On his way to the grocery store, he pulled out his phone and called him.

"Hey chan, I have something to ask about jisung." He started.

"Hey, what is it? Tell me."

"Few hours ago, jisung broke a vase on accident... but thats not the point. He looked absolutely terrified. He tought that I was gonna hurt him..." minho said.

"What do you think it is minho? I'm guessing that you have something on your mind already." Chan said.

"It might be a reaction that he has because of his abusive parents. He somehow remembers it because he was abused so severely that it got too deep in his mind and that's why he didn't forget it... but I'm not sure if I'm completely right..." minho said worried.

"You're most likely right. It's probably because of his trauma. The things that didn't leave a deep wound disappeared, but the deep ones will leave a permanent scar..." Chan said.

"What should I do about it? How can I help him?" Minho asked helplessly.

"Maybe some therapy? Talk it through and try to teach him that it's fine to mess things up. Just don't take these break downs too personally. He can't see who he's going agains in these situations." Chan tried to calm minho down.

"Ok... thanks chan..."

-

When minho came back home,  he softly knocked on the doorframe from their livingroom where jisung was watching tv while cuddled up under the blanket. "Hannie~ im home." Minho said softly peeking from behind the corner with the brightest smile.

Jisung looked at him and the brightest smile appeared on his face as well.

"I bought you your favourite snacks and drinks~" minho said all adorably.

Jisungs eyes sparkled with joy because of what he felt while looking at minho doing all of these nice things.

Minho sat down next to jisung and lied his head into jisungs lap. "You are so pretty." Jisung said watching minhos face.

"You are my prettiest prinsess hannie." Minho said caressing his face.

"How can you say that watching me from down there. My three chins must be in your face while looking at me." Jisung whined.

"You have non... besides... i would love you even with five chins. I dont care." Minho said finaly feeling like its the right time to make a mess.

Minho swung his leg over the small coffee table kicking the glass that he put there down.

The glass shards shatered all over the floor making a mess.

Jisungs eyes widened and minho felt his muscles tense up.
