There was a knock on Minho's door which stirred him awake. He moved briefly but his door opened with Jisung's head peeping in around the side.
There was a pause before Jisung went to close the door but Minho sat up quickly despite wanting to be wrapped up in his bed covers.
"Jisung?" he mumbled out. Jisung then opened the door a little more and cleared his throat "Hi" he uttered.
Minho didn't say anything as Jisung fully came into the room. He closed the door behind him "Were you sleeping?" He asked softly.
Minho hummed "A bit" He yawned. Jisung made his way to Minho's bed "Wanna cuddle?" he asked.
Minho looked at him a bit hesitant. "You're not gonna make a half attempt to cuddle me are you?" He asked as that was what Jisung had been doing.
He shook his head silently. Minho moved to let Jisung get in bed beside him.
Minho looked at him for a moment seeing how stiff he looked. His shoulders tensed and his breath was shallow.
Usually Minho would be cuddled but something urged him to open his arms this time. So he did, he lifted an arm out for Jisung to let him know he could cuddle him.
Jisung looked at the gesture and let out a soft cry before falling into Minho's arms.
That's when Minho fully woke up. Jisung began to cry in his arms. He slowly rubbed his back and tried to calm him down.
"Ji, why are you crying?" He asked softly. "Tell me what's going on" He just wanted to know why Jisung had been acting shitty to him.
"I... I have to..." He couldn't even get it out. How could he? It would break Minho.
"I..." He choked on his words. Minho kissed the top of his head "Breathe" He reminded "Breathe for me Ji" He repeated.
Jisung took shake breaths before calming. "I'm so sorry... I fucked up again didn't I?"
Minho shrugged "We can get past that" He chuckled. Jisung looked up at him "I don't deserve you... I swear... I'm such a fuck up of a person..."
"Ji, no one is perfect, you're not a fuck up, you're a human with emotions and there's nothing wrong with reacting the way your instincts tell you to" He explained. Jisung melted in his arms "That's spiritual" he joked.
Minho smiled "I do like my Pinterest quotes" he replied. "But tell me, what's going on?"
"My dad.. Wants me to work with him" He sighed. Minho hummed beginning to play with Jisung's hair "Okay... Do you have to?" the question was followed by a nod.
"And... I have to leave early... From here" He finally said it. What's been exactly hurting him and making him avoid Minho.
There was silence that followed which Jisung hated. He expected it but he didn't want it.
"And... I won't be able to go to Jeju" He added to get it off his chest. Minho took a breath "Oh" He felt his heart sink.
The entire fact Jisung wasn't permanently staying in Korea had really sinked in just then. Maybe he was on such a rush of love and thinking his life was slowly coming together...
Jisung wasn't even from Korea.
He didn't live here.
He lived on the other side of the world.
"Do.... Do mom and dad know?" He asked trying to push away emotions and thoughts he didn't want to feel or think of. Jisung nodded, holding Minho tighter.
"I told them when I came back... I just didn't know how to tell you... I knew it'd hurt you and I thought maybe if I got you to hate me again It'd be easier"
"Jisung. Are you dumb?" Minho rolled his eyes "Fucking dumbass" He flicked Jisung's forehead.
"I love you" Minho spoke. "I love you so much why on earth would I hate you?"
"If I made you hate me-"
"Jisung"
"Minho"
They made eye contact. Jisung looked away first resting his head back onto Minho's chest. "I don't want to go back... If I could stay here I would but I have no choice"
"why?"
"My dad has everything planned and it would throw all his shit off course if I refuse... I mean I knew I'd have to work for him eventually but not so soon"
"We can make it work though" Minho smiled "I know you're going to be back in England... And there's a huge time difference but... We can make it work"
Jisung smiled lightly at Minho's optimism. "You think we can really make it work?"
"I think we can"
"God I love you" Jisung leaned up to kiss Minho but he was stopped "Nu-uh" Minho pushed his index finger onto Jisung's lips.
"After the way you treated me the last three weeks, you're not getting a kiss so easily"
Jisung sighed with a pout "Minho~" He whined annoyed he wasn't getting a kiss. Minho laughed "Nah, don't even try that with me" he raised a brow.
"My mom raised no weak bitch" He smiled. Jisung scoffed "I can stick with cuddles...what do I have to do to make it up to you?"
Minho hummed "Do what I tell you to"
"What?"
"Make me dinner tomorrow"
"Minho i can't cook, I'll poison you-".
"Make. Me. Dinner. Tomorrow"
Jisung nodded with a soft smile "Whatever you wish"
