Us Against the World| Minsung

Promise

He woke up with tears in his eyes. Breathing heavily, drenched in sweat. He quickly picked his phone up to check the time. It read "11:52pm".

"Shit..." he thought to himself. Rubbing his face, he flipped off the bed and put his slippers on. He left his bedroom to look for his mother. But per usual, she's no where to be found. He put his jacket on and left the house, taking his keys with him.

He arrived at the park. Sitting on the swings, he rubbed his face and heard the swings moving next to him. Looking up to see Minho. "Sungie, it's late. Why're you out here?" Jisung wiped his face and smiled a little. "You always know when to find me. I should be asking the same." Minho got off of the swing and crouched down in front of Jisung. Wiping his face. "What's wrong?"

Jisung's smile slowly turned. "N-nothing. I'm fine. I just needed to.. clear my head." Minho heard the pain in his voice. He pulled Jisung into a hug. "Jisung. I know something is wrong. You can tell me. I'm here for you." He rubbed circles in his back. Jisung felt Minho's soothing voice in his soul. He began to cry.

After Jisung calmed down, Minho took him for a walk. "Care to tell me what was wrong?" He asked, softly. Jisung looked towards the ground. "O-oh. I had another bad dream... I stopped having them for a few months but for the past few days, they've been coming back. Th-they get really bad sometimes. I guess tonight was one of those nights." He kept his face down as he walked with Minho. Although it was cold out, he felt warmth. He looked down to see Minho had grabbed his hand intertwined their hands.

"I'm going to walk you home. I don't want you going home by yourself." Jisung's face turned a slight pink. Maybe because it was cold out. Or maybe because this random boy had stolen his heart already.

They arrived and Jisung let Minho inside. It was quiet. His house was a very normal family home. "Are you sure I can be in here? What about your parents? Would they care?" Minho was panicking. He had never been in another persons house before. That meaning a person he had a fat ass crush on.

"I'll explain upstairs. Anyways, let's go to my room. We can relax there." Jisung led Minho up to his room. His room had crème colored walls, his walls being decorated with pictures of the sky and some of himself. He had fairy lights going across his photos and he had his bed pushed against the window. The window being one you can sit inside of. His desk was neatly decorated, a few plants and some sketch books. He had a small white rug next to his bed. His ceiling was decorated with glow in the dark stars. And there was a dresser across from his bed with a TV on top.

"Wow, your room is so cozy. I think i'd like to be here pretty often." Minho sat on the floor next to his bed. Jisung laughed a little bit before sitting in the bed close to Minho. "You can. It gets lonely here sometimes. Also sit up here with me." He gestured for him to off of the floor. "What do you mean?" He tilted his head slightly, getting off of the floor. "Oh, my dad left when I was 5. I'm here alone. I'm an only child and my mom usually leaves to stay at her boyfriend's house for the day or goes out with her friends and doesn't come back until at least 2am. And usually she comes back drunk. Sometimes I don't see her for days on end. She leaves money in my room for me while i'm at school though. Probably on accident or maybe to take care of myself. When I do see her, she's sleep in her room. But she does care for me. I think." Jisung finished. He sighed and laid down staring at the ceiling.

Minho laid next to him. "I didn't know that. I'm sorry." Jisung looked over and smiled. "Don't be. It's been like that for years. I see more family once in a while, but otherwise it's fine." He smiled, closing his eyes. "My parents aren't in my life either." Minho started. "They're always away for some business trip. I see them maybe a couple times a year. My grandma takes care of me. And my brother stops by once in a while. But otherwise i'm by myself too." Jisung looked over to Minho and seen his smile had faded a little.

Minho felt a little weight on his chest. he looked down to see Jisung had laid on him. "Let's be by ourself together." Minho smiled, pulling Jisung closer. "Us against the world?" Jisung hugged him tighter. Minho smiled at him. "Always."

"Promise?"

Minho closed his eyes. "Promise ."
