"minho, he was using you? i thought he said he called off the bet?"

minho shook his head in felix's tight embrace. "no, lix. he used me from the start. and i- i really loved him. but he just wanted a quick fuck."

he sobbed harder into felix's shoulder and the younger sighed. "what are you going to do? we have class in 20."

"avoid him. we don't have similar classes so we can't run into each other. i have one class today."

felix pulled off and frowned. "min, he's going to need his jersey back. he has a game tomorrow."

—-

game time.

jisung was playing horribly. visibly distracted, exhausted, heart broken. the coach called time and the team huddled together.

"han, whats going on? you're not in the game today!"

"sorry, coach. rough night."

the coach sighed, glancing at his teammates. "look kid, you're a star player. i'm sitting you out to cool down a bit. chaeyun, sub in for han!"

jisung sighed, rubbing his temples as the screams for his team hurt his ears. he really wanted minho.

but he was pretty sure they were over.

chan, changbin, and felix were watching the game. "lix, did you talk to minho?"

"yes, chan. he thinks ji's using him for the bet."

changbin huffed. "ji's such a good guy. they were good together."

minho packed his bag, locking his locker and leaving the school. he heard the cheering from the soccer field as the game ended and caught a glimpse of jisung on the bench.

he shook his head, walking down the sidewalk to get to the dorm building.

the 3 were congratulating jisung on the win when he caught the familiar face. "holy shit. i've gotta go. thanks guys."

he chased after minho, seeing him disappear into the dorm building. he went up to his floor, seeing him unzipping his bag for the keys.

he walked over, panting from the sprinting. he met minho's terrified gaze, the keys falling from his hands.

"i- i really need to talk to you."

minho pursed his lips, picking up the keys and opening the dorm door. jisung followed behind him and minho locked the door, tossing the keys onto the counted.

he shrugged his bag off, and motioned for jisung to follow him into his room. closing the door behind them, minho sat on the bed.

"what- uh, what's up?"

"whats up? minho, oh my god. what the fuck even happened? you just walked out on me! no fucking explanation! that was so unfair to me, min!"

minho's lips trembled. he hated getting yelled at. it made him cry.

"i-" he sniffed. "i'm sorry, ji." tears pooled in his eyes and jisung sat next to him. "baby, what happened?"

"i just- i thought about the bet again. and- how close we probably were to having sex last night- i just- i can't stop thinking about it."

jisung frowned, taking minho's hands into his. "min, i called it off. i love you so, so much. if and when we do end up having sex, i'm not going to leave after. i promise you that."

minho cried. he cried all night. wrapped in jisung's arms.

——

a week later.

they were completely fine now.

minho was taking new medication, and it made very.. loopy. he was very out of it, and he danced around the dorm while jisung was in class.

the door opened and jisung was about to say something but minho completely wiped out. "min- are you okay?" jisung stopped himself from laughing when minho just laid there.

he crouched down, seeing minho giggling. minho brought his hand up to jisung's cheek, smiling. "my jisungie, hi."

"hi, min. let's get you up."

he helped minho to stand up, and the older leaned into him fully, non-stop giggling. "hi, ji. hi, hi, hi."

"hi, min." jisung chuckled, wrapping an arm around him to stabilize him. minho puckered his lips, head tilted.

"kiss," minho moved his head closer. "come on." he dragged it out and jisung rolled his eyes. "you're very excited, what's going on?"

minho sat perched on the edge of the couch, a radiant smile playing on his lips. his eyes twinkled with a mischievous glint as he gazed at jisung, who was sitting across from him.

"ji," minho burst into a fit of giggles, his laughter carrying an air of childlike wonder. "you're so amazing, seriously. how did i get so lucky to have you as my boyfriend?"

jisung's lips curled into a soft smile as he watched minho's antics. he leaned in, brushing a strand of hair away from minho's forehead. "and how did i get so lucky to have you?"

minho's laughter grew even more infectious, his cheeks flushed with delight. "no, but really, jisung. you're like a gift from the universe. i can't believe someone as incredible as you would want to date someone like me."

jisung chuckled, his heart warming at minho's words. "min, you're incredible too. and you're the one who makes me feel lucky every day."

minho's eyes sparkled as he leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "you know what would make me feel even luckier? a kiss from you."

jisung's eyebrows shot up in surprise, his smile growing wider. minho rarely initiated affection like this, so jisung wasn't about to miss the opportunity. he leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to minho's lips, feeling a rush of warmth spread through him.

minho pulled away, his giggles turning into a delighted squeal. "oh my gosh, you kissed me! i can't believe it!"

jisung chuckled, his fingers tracing circles on minho's hand. "believe it, min. i love kissing you."

minho's cheeks turned a shade redder as he covered his face with his hands. "stop, you're making me blush!"

jisung's heart swelled with affection as he leaned in, whispering into minho's ear, "you're cute when you blush."

minho peeked through his fingers, his giggles turning into a shy smile. "you really mean that?"

jisung nodded, his fingers gently lowering minho's hands. "absolutely. i love seeing you like this, minho. you're so carefree and happy."

minho's laughter filled the room once again, his eyes locked onto jisung's with unwavering adoration. "i'm happy because of you. you make everything better."

jisung reached over, tucking a strand of hair behind minho's ear. "and you make my life brighter, love. don't ever doubt that."

as their eyes met, the room seemed to brim with their unspoken feelings, the moments of vulnerability and affection shared between them creating a memory that neither of them would ever forget.
