9 || New Faces

It had been a few days since Jisung's brothers death. A few days of crying, comforting, sleeping, cuddling, kissing, all spent at Minho's over the weekend.

Jisung didn't want to go back to his dorm, where no one was. He was scared to be alone, for more reasons than most people would be comfortable sharing.

Minho knew about two things about the whole situation, that Jisung's brother passed and they were close.

Even though he didn't know the details, he vowed to himself he'd watch over Jisung as much as he could.

Changbin had been sorta observing the whole situation from afar, checking in on the two every now and then.

It was obvious to him they had feelings for eachother, and he was pretty sure Jisung had already recognized his feelings towards Minho but was too nervous to bring them up.

Jisung hadn't heard from Seungmin yet. No calls, text, nothing.

Jisung even tried calling Seungmin to tell him what had happened, but it was to no avail. Jisung wasn't even mad or upset he hadn't heard back, just worried.

He thought he'd just wait till they had classes together.

Otherwise, Jisung had been doing better.

Memories of his brother slowly faded after they passed his mind, it made it easier to deal with.

And obviously, Minho being there almost all the time the past couple days made everything easier.

As for Minho, he was a mess, on the inside at least.

There were times he'd have to hold back tears seeing Jisung so distraught, it broke his fragile heart he didn't realize he had for Jisung.

He wanted nothing more than for Jisung to be that calm, flirty, but quiet boy again. He hated seeing him like this.

The thing killing him the most was how his feelings for Jisung kept growing every hour they spent together.

Every kiss they shared, of which there was many, drove him further into a crush, a desire to be more than what they were now.

It's not even like they were fuck buddies or something, they acted like a couple.

The main thing drawing the two away from making it happen was Jisung's fear of rejection and Minho's unsureness of his sexuality.

Hell, Minho didn't even know if he'd fuck a guy.

"Stay safe, ok Sung?" Minho told Jisung as they pulled into Jisung's dorm parking lot. Jisung nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"I will." Jisung assured him as he opened the car door and put one foot out of the car, but he stopped suddenly. Jisung turned back and kissed Minho's cheek softly.

"Thank you." Jisung said in a soft tone before getting out of the car, shutting the door, and waving goodbye to Minho as he walked away.

Minho smiled, touching his cheek where he was kissed. He let out a happy sigh and put the car back in drive, getting back on the road.

Jisung went inside his dorm, locking the door behind him and setting his keys on the table by the door.
Jisung took a step to go to his room, but stopped when he heard a loud sound coming from the other room, causing him to jump.

"What the fuck was that...?" Jisung muttered, going to the room he heard it come from. It came from the empty room in the dorm that had been vacant for the week Jisung was living in the dorm for.

When he opened the door, he saw a tall man standing in the dimly lit room going through a box, it was obvious he was moving in but that didn't register in Jisung's mind so he ended up screaming.

The man in the room jumped at the sudden scream, standing straight up and immediately switching on the light to see who it was screaming.

"Oh..." Jisung finally analyzed the situation, sighing before letting out an embarrassed chuckle.

"Sorry, I assumed the school would tell you I was moving in." The boy said in a apologetic tone, scratching the back of his neck. Jisung put his hand on his hip and shook his head.

"Nope, I had no clue... sorry bout that. I'm Jisung." The boy nodded his head in response, taking a step towards the Jisung.

"I'm Hyunjin." He said with a small grin, reaching his hand out to offer a handshake to him. Jisung smiled back and shook his hand. As Jisung went to let go, Hyunjin gripped his hand preventing him from doing so yet.

"Your hand is warm." Hyunjin said, smiling a little wider before letting go of Jisung's hand, letting it drop to his side.

"Oh, yeah. I guess I just run hot." Jisung said with a chuckle, awkwardly starting to turn his body towards the door.

"So, I'll leave you to your... moving stuff?" Jisung said, inching towards the doorway.

"Right!" Hyunjin said as if he completely forgot what he was doing. He quickly turned back, removing more stuff from the half emptied box in the middle of the room and setting it on the floor.

"Cool, cool." Jisung said, a weird smile on his face as he nodded, slowly leaving the room.

"Oh uh, actually, do you think you could help me move this dresser real quick?" Hyunjin asked right as Jisung put one foot out the door. It be rude not to, so Jisung obliged.

"Yeah, yeah. For sure." Hyunjin got on one side of the dresser, Jisung got on the other.

"It's pretty heavy, so be careful, k?" Jisung nodded and both boys lifted each side, letting out a struggling grunt.

"Jesus, it is heavy..." Jisung said quietly, Hyunjin nodded with a slightly pained look on his face.

Hyunjin guided Jisung with the dresser, bring it to the corner of the room.
Once they got to the spot Hyunjin wanted it, they slowly put it down onto the hardwood floors.

"Thanks, Jisung." Hyunjin said with a smile. Hyunjin walked over to Jisung and kissed his cheek, then the other, then patting his head before walking back over to the box on the floor and picking up a few item that were set beside it.

Jisung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, dabbing his finger over one of the spots he was kissed.

"Yeah... anytime." Jisung muttered, barely loud enough to hear.

"Uh, I'm gonna go take a nap..." Jisung mumbled, walking quickly to the door.

"Ok, sleep well." Hyunjin responded with a smile. Jisung quickly left the room, sighing.

"Jesus Christ..."

A/N: ok ik it took me thirty years to get this finished but I think it's an alright chapter all though it's short
the main reason it's so short is because I plan on making the next one a little longer and I have a specific idea in mind for it, so I'll start on that as soon as possible and it should be really good I think
