show me that you're vulnerable

why did you kiss me?

after a long day of traveling, settling in, and meeting minho's mom for the very first time minho hopped in the shower. he was usually fast and efficient when he took showers but this time he really wanted to relax and take his time. this left jisung alone with his mom which was awkward at first.

jisung was being way too formal, he was nervous as shit. he already has a hard time meeting new people, but now he met minho's mom and is staying in her house for the rest of the week, trying to conversate with her as minho showers and all he can think of is that her son kissing him the way he did just a couple hours ago.

"you're a good kid jisung. i can tell you care about my son a lot." she sipped her tea from a mug that had pictures of cats on it, now he understood where minho got his love for cats.
"minho can be a pain sometimes, I know, but he likes you a lot." she smiled fondly

jisung smiled back, a tingling sensation taking over his body. thinking about the way minhos lips felt on his and how bad he craved it again. he shook off his thoughts "thank you mrs. lee, i do care about him. and thank you for allowing me to come over."

"oh of course dear, you're welcome anytime." the sound of the bathroom door clicking was heard from down the hall. "looks like he's all done now! you two have a good night now!" she got up from her chair and began making her way to her room.

"goodnight!" jisung called back and looked over at the hallway where minho was standing waiting for him. they looked at each other for only about two seconds and jisung had already felt a shift in their energy. he got up from the couch and nervously made his way over to minho.

"hi" he airily said as he tried to keep his cool while now following minho into his room.
which minho just responded with a quick nonchalant hey back. they entered minho's room and hung out on his bed while watching the rest of that show they were watching from earlier.

jisung was overthinking again. and he was doing that thing that he did when he gets nervous where he gets really restless. minho didn't really seem to notice much this time, he just focused on the episode they were watching.

jisung was thinking about way too many things, minho's mom and what she said to him, chan and how he teased him before he went on this whole trip, the kiss .

as much as he tried to stop thinking about it, it's all he could think about. what did it mean?

he looked over at minho, really getting a good look at him, taking everything in. he is absolutely beautiful.

he contemplated whether or not he wanted to wrap his arms and legs around him and lay his head on his chest. he wanted to be close to the elder. he moved his hand closer to minho and hesitated for a second, then he did it.

he slowly moved his arm around minho's torso and moved so his head was laying on his chest. minho had to switch his phone to his other hand because of the position jisung was now in, his arm was forced to be around the back side of the younger.

"what are you doing?" minho asked.

"..cuddling?" jisung responded, he sort of sounded unsure of himself.

"my arm is going to lose circulation from the way you're laying on me." he said as he tried to move his arm.

"ah sorry! i can move i-" jisung cut himself off and just defeatedly moved away from minho and back to his side of the bed. he wouldn't have moved completely away if it weren't for the annoyance in minhos voice. he laid there uncomfortably, physically and mentally.
they stayed there like that, silently until they both fell asleep.

jisung woke up abruptly, as if he was startled awake or someone just poured a bucket of ice on him. he jumped and caught his breath, his eyes shot open.
