To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

Perfect Presents

Jisung's POV:

"You wanna open our presents tomorrow instead?" I said softly, caressing Minho's cheek. I'm not exactly sure why he felt the need to get absolutely wasted before I got here, but he doesn't drink often so I'll let it slide.

"No, Sungie." He shook his head, resting his hand over mine. He smiled uncontrollably at the contact. "We're finally okay." He whispered.

"We're okay." I nodded. "Do you think you could sit up?"

"I wanna cuddle." He whined. Him acting like this was a rare sight. Actually, I can't think of a time where he ever acted like this, but I found it so cute.

"Well if you wanna open presents, then you gotta sit up and we can cuddle after, okay?"

"Okay." I helped him up and his lazy smile never left his face. "I'm just so happy you're here, I can't believe it."

"You can't believe I'm here?"

"Yes. You and me. Here. I just can't get over it. I just love you so much."

"I love you too." I laughed at his words. Although I knew they were sincere, I also knew he wouldn't say it like that sober.

"Your gifts are in my closet. In that big box." He stretched his arms wide to show just how big of a box we're talking here. And he certainly wasn't lying. I playfully scoffed once I realized he just wrapped a massive Amazon package. I ripped it open and stared with eyes wide.

"Minho, holy shit." I lifted the music and sound equipment out, then checked every label and model.

"You always told me about how you were passionate about music and wish you could do something so now you can."

"I swear to god, you're the fucking best." I smiled.

"I know." He started to rock his head back and forth with a playful expression.

I leaned over and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "Thank you. Seriously."

Afterward, I handed him the gift I had gotten for him. I can guarantee it's not as good as what he got me, but still.

"Oh fuck yes." He cheered. "You got me a McDonald's gift card again."

"Keep going through the bag." I really wasn't expecting us to get back together as quickly as we did. I thought for sure he would be hung up on Seonghwa or something. So when I bought his Christmas gift, it was on a best friend level. How was I supposed to know he bought all this for me? Technically I should've known; he was always the better half of our duo.

"You know me so well." He smiled as he held up  a black t-shirt that said 'I'm better than everyone' in small print across the top. It's a Lee Know gift, that's the best way to put it. He took his shirt off and switched it with the one I had gotten him. "It's perfect." He held the bottom out to get a better look at it. "So true too. I am better than everyone." He nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm glad you like it." I smiled.

"How could I not? This shirt was practically made for me."

"It actually was. I got it made." I laughed. "The guy looked at me funny once I picked it up, but I just told him it was for my boyfriend."

His eyes lit up as he looked at me. "You told the shirt guy you had a boyfriend?"

"Was I not supposed to?"

He smiled and started to laugh. It almost sounded like an excited little girl. I knew what he was thinking though. I never told anyone about us and now here I am telling strangers.

"You can tell whoever you want."

"Good." I wrapped my arm around him and pulled him close. "Because I want people to know I have the best boyfriend in the world." I said softly, kissing his cheek.

"Yes!" He shouted and raised his fists. I pulled back and laughed once I remembered he's in no condition to do anything on a more intimate scale. Cuddling will do for tonight.

I laid down and pulled him close to me for once. We've never been in a situation where the roles were reversed so this has been interesting to say the least. But it's nice being able to take care of him for once.

When I looked down at him, he was already out like a light. Note to self: never let Minho drink wine.
