When I'm in a sad way, getting in a mad way
All I really need is you

Minho
He was the closest thing to heaven in my eyes, though I was the one who did a lot of the saving in our friendship. He was the one who did all the saving in our relationship... if that's what you call this.

I watched as he drew random shapes on my naked chest, the small breeze pouring in from the window and invading our space. My mind wandered to the other night when his mom invited me to stay for dinner, it wasn't what I was expecting. She had never offered, mostly because she worked a lot before everything happened with Jisung but I've become aware that she doesn't work nights as much as she used to.

I never had much of the chance to get close to his family before because he always wanted to run away from them, hanging out at mine or somewhere other than his house, and when we would it would be in his room. After, I saw how his brother almost blamed me and a part of me did the same.

The dinner, I expected to be a mess was far from it. I watched as they laughed and kept conversation and I just felt proud. I didn't help this time when it came to Jisung making this development with his family, it was all him and so I couldn't stop myself but stare at him with fond eyes.

He was getting better right before my eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" I pulled from my thoughts as Jisung looked up at me.

I hum before saying "Nothing"

Jisung props himself up on his forearm, looking down at me with a small smirk "Were you daydreaming about me?"

I look to the window "It's night so that's impossible" I look at him and he hits my arm softly.

"Tell me what's on your mind" His voice was soft like velvet, almost lulling me to sleep.

"The dinner" My hand goes to his arm, slowly dragging it down where I watch chills rise. I look up into his eyes "I love seeing you that happy"

"I feel happier" He admits, "Everything just feels easier than it did before," He said, looking into my eyes, "School, family, and us"

I smile "Us?"

Normally Jisung would roll his eyes at my sudden smug look but he didn't right now, he remained serious. "I appreciate you a lot Minho" He starts "You've helped me so much"

I sigh "You are my best friend"

Jisung sits up "Exactly," He said, "I'm your best friend and your mine. I don't know what I would've done if didn't have you by my side every step of the way. I look back at everything and I hate how I pushed your feelings aside most times when you blatantly showed me that you cared"

I sit up and grab his hand "Stop" I tell him "I don't care about all those times because they led us to now" I watched tears fill his eyes. "I would do it all again if I knew it would lead to you in my arms at night. I don't really fucking care about when it was the other way around and instead of me, it was other girls in your arms" I hold his hand tightly "But that's what makes our story better than the rest, don't you think sweetheart?"

"One fucked up story" He jokes through the sudden tears that fell from his eyes.

I chuckle and wipe his tears away, "But it's my favorite because it has you"

Jisung leans forward and kisses me. His lips in mine were a feeling I've grown to love and fight for to keep. He was someone I would fight for, to die for. I never realized how loyal I've become to the boy in front of me, but I've always been. Mentally, I was always his and now physically.

I pulled away and caressed his cheek softly, "I love you" I said without hesitation or regret because I didn't want any of that with him. I watched as a million emotions filled his eyes "I don't expect you to say it back. It was just getting unbearable to keep to myself" I chuckle lowly.

"I-I" He stutters and I smile sweetly at him, "Don't laugh" He looks down, nervously "I'm just... caught off guard"

"I don't mean to rush any of this--"

"I love you too" Jisung looks up, meeting my eyes. I was shocked, I didn't expect him to say it back. "I have always loved you, as a friend," He says shyly, "The night you kissed me for the first time after the party, I knew it was much more for me"

"You love me?" I ask him, knowing the answer now but wanting him to repeat it.

"I love you," He says with a smile on his face "Minho, I love you," He says again before kissing me passionately, it was full of love and I knew that it always was. Jisung pulls away "Be my boyfriend?"

My eyes widened, "Wait" I said "Slow down" I held my hands up "You just said you loved me, now you asking me out?" I hold my heart dramatically, "Let me process"

Jisung chuckles at my sudden dramatic words, "Well, I've been waiting for you to ask me but you seem to not get the memo so..."

I look at him "I-I thought you wanted to go slow"

Jisung rolls his eyes "I'm telling you that I love you and I want you to be my boyfriend"

I give him a short kiss "Yes" I kiss him again "I'll be your boyfriend" He laughs loudly as I pull away, my face getting serious "But, what about coming out? You haven't really done that yet"

Jisung pauses for a moment, "I don't care what anyone will think about us. My family and you, that's all I care about" He grabs my face softly, "And my family seems to love you"

"Everyone loves me," I said with a smirk, making Jisung kiss me.

Chapter full of confessional love lmao, I'm soft

This is the end of this book (officially)

Also, I want to write an epilogue but I wanted to ask what y'all would want it to consist of.

College life? Adult life? A mix of both (jumping from one year to the next?) What are we thinking, please give me your ideas and I'll get to writing for the final update.

Love you all,
