the night had settled in as jisung returned from the exhausting football tournament, his heart eager to reunite with his beloved minho. with a quiet determination, he unlocked the door to minho's apartment using his spare key, letting himself in with a soft sigh of relief. the apartment was dimly lit, the silence broken only by the sounds of the city outside.

stealthily, jisung made his way to the bedroom, where minho lay sleeping. a warm smile graced his lips as he observed the peaceful expression on his boyfriend's face. he gently slid into bed, careful not to disturb minho's slumber, and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him close.

as jisung's lips brushed minho's forehead in a gentle kiss, he felt a sense of contentment wash over him. he had missed minho so much during the tournament, and being able to hold him now was a comfort beyond words. he pressed a soft kiss to minho's temple, his heart fluttering with affection.

hours passed, and minho stirred in his sleep, slowly becoming aware of the presence enveloping him. he blinked his eyes open, momentarily disoriented, until he realized he was cradled in jisung's arms. a smile tugged at his lips, and his heart swelled with warmth.

with a quiet sigh of happiness, minho shifted slightly, curling himself closer to jisung. he pressed a soft kiss to jisung's chest before wrapping his arms around him in a tight embrace.

jisung's eyes fluttered open, his heart skipping a beat as he saw minho awake and embracing him. he returned the hug with equal fervor, his voice filled with a mixture of sleepiness and adoration. "baby... you're awake."

minho's voice was a soft murmur against jisung's chest. "i was dreaming about you."

jisung's smile was evident in his voice as he pressed a kiss to minho's hair. "i missed you so much."

minho tilted his head up to meet jisung's gaze, his eyes filled with love. "i missed you too, ji. so, so much."

———

jisung brought minho to his apartment and unpacked his stuff. he took a long shower while minho stayed in bed, watching videos on his phone.

jisung walked out of the bathroom in just a pair of sweatpants, drying his hair. he tossed the towel at minho, who shrieked.

"jisung! that's gross!"

jisung laughed, going over to the bed and flopping on top of minho. "hey you." he pressed their lips together, before minho started giggling and he pulled off.

"what's got you laughing, hm?" he tickled minho's sides, and the older giggled against jisung's lips.

"s-stop! jisung!" minho laughed harder, tears forming in his eyes as he kicked his feet.

felix leaned in, excitement dancing in his eyes as he whispered to minho, "hey, min, i've got an idea. you know how jisung ripped my homework? i want to prank him back. and i've got the perfect plan!"

minho arched an eyebrow, a playful grin forming on his lips. "alright, i'm intrigued. what's the plan?"

felix's grin widened as he explained, "well, you know that fainting condition? what if we make it seem like you fainted again? ji cares a lot about you, so he'll definitely freak out."

minho chuckled, realizing where felix was going with this. "you want me to fake a fainting episode just to mess with jisung? that's pretty devious, lix."

felix's eyes twinkled mischievously. "exactly! it'll be harmless fun. you faint, and i'll make sure he finds you. then we'll let the worry sink in for a bit before you 'wake up'."

minho thought for a moment, his grin still firmly in place. "alright, i'm in. but only if you promise not to let it go on for too long. i don't want to freak him out too much."

felix nodded eagerly. "deal. we'll keep it short and sweet. just enough to get his heart racing."

as they hatched their plan, felix couldn't help but admire how lucky he was to have a friend like minho who was willing to go along with his crazy ideas. the two of them shared a conspiratorial smile, knowing that this prank would be one for the books.

——!

in jisung's cozy apartment, the trio had settled in for a relaxing afternoon. laughter and casual conversation flowed freely as they lounged on the couch, enjoying each other's company. the soft light filtering through the windows created a warm and inviting atmosphere. amidst the comfort, felix exchanged a mischievous glance with minho, signaling the beginning of their planned prank.

as the conversation lulled, minho suddenly feigned dropping something, causing a clatter on the floor. he staggered slightly before dramatically collapsing to the ground, his eyes closed.

jisung's eyes widened in shock as he turned to minho. "baby? min? are you okay?" his voice was laced with genuine concern.

felix's face twisted into a worried expression as he knelt down beside minho, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. "minho, come on, wake up. what happened?"

minho remained motionless, a faint grin playing at the corners of his lips as he kept his eyes shut.

jisung's panic heightened, and he hurriedly moved closer to minho. "felix, we need to call for help. something's really wrong."

felix exchanged a quick look with minho before pretending to dial emergency services on his phone. "i'm calling 911. hang in there, min."

as jisung watched with growing concern, minho's shoulders began to shake slightly, betraying his suppressed laughter.

after what felt like an eternity to jisung, minho's eyes fluttered open, and he let out a hearty laugh. "gotcha, ji!"

jisung's shock transformed into a mixture of relief and exasperation. "you guys... you really had me going there!"

felix joined in the laughter, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "sorry, ji. we couldn't resist."

jisung rolled his eyes playfully. "you two are unbelievable. i was seriously about to call an ambulance."

minho chuckled as he sat up, his grin infectious. "i promise, it was all in good fun."

jisung shook his head, unable to hide his amusement. "you guys and your pranks."
