Walking Into Future || Minsung

18 - That noisy neighbour

" Hey.. do you see me? " He felt someone tapping on his cheek and forcing his eyes open he could see the blurry outline of someone standing above him.

" Umm.. Minho? Hello? Are you alive? " He wished he wasn't because his head was hurting so bad as if he hit a wall in full force and in his case, he did.
" Please don't die. I wanted to get to know you, you can't die so early, please. "

He could hear the same person speaking and shaking his shoulder and he unknowingly let out a groan. " Oh thank god you're alive. How many fingers do you see? "

And suddenly two fingers were showed infront of his eyes that he flinched and swat the hand away. " Wh-Where am I? And why is..  everything spinning? "

He questioned in a lazy voice as he held his head and tried to sit up straight but as soon as he stretched his spine, a brief pain shot through his right shoulder.

" You just fainted and I got scared that you had a heart attack or something. " He slowly registered the familiar yet worried voice in his brain and his eyes shot open in an instant that the sudden light piercing his eyes forced him to squint it shut.
" Can you stand? It's cold outside and I think you're hurt. "

He felt soft hands trying to hoist him up and he reluctantly stood up while groaning when the pain in his shoulder became more prominent. He leaned on the person trying to carry him towards a door and realised he was in some sort of hallway.

And suddenly he realised what happened in the previous chapter.

That noisy neighbour.

J. One.

Embarassing himself infront of his bias.

And then everything going black.

" Easy. Slowly sit here. " Through his frozen mind, he registered that he was inside his bias's house, his apartment and he was so close. He can hear him breathing and can feel the breath on his face.
" I'll bring you water one second. "

And suddenly he was left cold on the sofa of Jisung's apartment as he blinked his eyes to adjust his body to the change of surrounding.

" I guess skipping lunch and sleeping without dinner can knock you out. " He mumbled to himself as he rolled his right shoulder only to groan.

In his defence, he was pretty tired after unpacking that he felt lazy to cook something and decided to sleep through his hunger.

" You hit your shoulder pretty strongly on the wall. Thank god I caught your head before you could hit it and crack it open. " Jisung entered the living room again with a glass of water that he held up for Minho to take.

" Thank you. And sorry for the trouble. " He gave a small bow before sipping on the water.

" It's okay. Though are you? You don't seem to have any fever, do you? " Suddenly Jisung touched his forehead to feel his temperature and this action caused Minho's breath to hitch. Getting touched by his bais is no small deal for someone like Minho.

" Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine. Just hungry. "

" Oh? You're hungry? " Jisung questioned and didn't give Minho any chance before he was standing up from the sofa and walking towards the kitchen. " I think I still have the takeout from dinner. If you don't mind eating pizza, I'll reheat for you. "

" I— thank you. " Minho mumbled to himself and was sure his thank you didn't even reach Jisung who was already in the kitchen.

He continued sipping on his glass of water and after less than 5 minutes, Jisung appeared again with a plate of pizza in his hand.

" Here. " Seeing the mouth watering pizza on his empty stomach, Minho didn't think twice before taking a bite out of it.

" Did you faint because you didn't eat anything? " Jisung questioned and recieved a nod as Minho's mouth was already filled with the pizza.

" I was tired after unpacking that I went to sleep without dinner. " He managed to answer after swallowing and immediately turned to another slice of the pizza.

" Oh, you moved in very recently. " Jisung mumbled to himself and then turned towards Minho. " Um.. Minho? "

" Hmm? " Minho replied and stopped chewing a little as he turned towards Jisung.

" Can you keep this a secret? " Minho only tilted his head in confusion so Jisung continued. " I mean, me living here. You know I'm famous and all so if news gets out that I live here my fans might— "

" Don't worry. " Minho cut in after he had fully swallowed the food in his mouth. " I won't tell anyone. You have a life of your own outside being a famous idol which your fans don't have to know. "

They held eye contact for a brief second and suddenly silence fell over the apartment. Jisung cleared his throat and was the first one to break the awkward eye contact.
" There's one more slice left. You can eat it. " He pointed towards the plate of pizza.

" Thank you. " Minho replied and again went back to stuffing his mouth full.

" Can I ask you something? "
At that Jisung nodded in answer, urging the older to continue.  " Earlier the song that you were playing, it is a new one? "

Jisung immediately scrambled to answer as he shook his head. " No! I-Its not a new song! "

A sly smirk appeared on Minho's face. " A new single then? Comeback? "

" N-Nope! Haha. " Jisung avoided eye contact and immediately dived towards the empty plate of pizza. " I'll go wash this. "

And he was strutting towards the kitchen again. Minho couldn't help but chuckle at how cutely Jisung was trying not to spoil the song for Minho.

" He really is a bad lier. " Minho mumbled to himself and then looked around the apartment he was in.

Mostly the apartment was modern with a slight vintage look with the vinyl records hung on the wall and small plants near the balcony window.

He was in the middle of standing up and walking towards one of the anime book that he recognised near the TV station when he heard a loud scream from the kitchen.

" AAHHHHH!! "

" Jisung? "
