It Started In The Hallway - Minsung

Thirty-Four

They make it up the stairs and Minho even carries Jisung to the apartment door.

"Thank you..." Jisung says, too shy to look at Minho as he gets placed on his feet and opens the door, letting Minho in.

"Too easy." Minho says jokingly as he flexes his muscles, showing off his perfect muscular body.

"You can change first!" Jisung says, looking at the ground, flustered.

"Alright." Minho replies, walking to the bathroom.

As Minho is in the bathroom, Jisung tries calling his brother, but he doesn't answer. He wants to let Minho go home, but he is scared of the storm, and he usually talks with his brother but he's not answering.

Minho walks out of the bathroom to see Jisung pacing while looking at his phone.

"You alright?" Minho says, walking into the living room.

"Oh, yes. I will go change now." Jisung says, hurrying past Minho to the bathroom.

Minho quickly hooks his arm around Jisungs waist from behind, stopping him.

"If something's wrong then I want you to tell me." Minho says.

"Uh... yea, I will!" Jisung says, still not wanting to tell him.

"Fine, go change quickly." Minho says, taking his hands off of Jisungs waist.

And that Jisung does.

After 2-3 minutes, Jisung walks out in his normal clothes. He walks into the living room with his head down feeling as if he did something bad, although he didn't.

Minho watches Jisung walk into the living room. He gets up and walks over to Jisung.

"Can you tell me what's wrong now?" Minho asks, their bodies so close together.

Jisung finally admits that he has something bothering him.

"It's so stupid though!" He says, covering his face with his hands, a habit Jisung has when he is embarrassed.

"Are you scared of the storm? Is that what it is?" Minho asks, taking Jisungs hands off his face.

"Huh? But how did you know?" Jisung asks, embarrassed.

"Your brother told me."

Minjae goes over and whispers something in Minho's ear before he starts heading for the door. This confuses Jisung.

"Hey, sorry to ask but can you watch over my brother? He gets kinda scared with storms and I can tell I'm going to be pretty busy tonight, and not in a good way." Minjae tries to joke. He heads off for the door hurriedly now.

"I'm glad he told me, or you never would have." Minho sighs.

"But don't you want to go home?" Jisung asks, feeling bad that Minho is staying just because he is scared of the storm.

"I want to make sure you're alright though. That's more important."

Jisung is so emotional that this just makes him want to cry. How Minho is willing to stay just to make sure he is okay. How Minho is willing to stay because thinks he is important. How Minho is willing to stay because it seems like he cares for him.

Jisung wraps his arms around Minho's waist, hugging him.

"Thank you, Minho... You're so nice to me." Jisung says.

"You deserve it." Minho replies, only putting his hand on Jisungs back, rubbing it.

They are both sitting on the couch. Jisung sitting with his legs up in a "hugging his legs" type of way and Minho is just sitting there chilling.

"So, uh... when are you going home then?" Jisung asks.

"I'm going to stay for as long as you want. Even if it's overnight." Minho says.

"Really? You would do that for me?" Jisung asks.

"Yep. And maybe I want to, who knows?" Minho says.

"Then... Can you stay with me?"
