Always is a Promise {Minsung}

Chapter 10

Jisung tapped his pencil against the notebook on his lap, staring down at his phone. He rolled his eyes, looking up at Minho, who sat on the floor with a stern look.

"Got an answer yet?" Minho asked.

Jisung shook his head. "No, I don't have one." He sighed, sitting up straight as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "Hey, isn't the point of a break for us to take a break from school?"

Minho chuckled. "Yeah, it is. But we got plenty of time for you to study math now."

Jisung groaned, slumping back onto the bed. "Math is the bane of my existence."

Minho stood up, sitting next to him. "It's not that bad, you just need to approach it with a better mindset. Try to see the beauty in those numbers and embrace them."

Jisung pushed the hair out of his face and looked up at Minho with skepticism. "How am I supposed to find beauty in something full of torture?" He moved the notebook off his lap.

Minho laid down next to him, propping his head up on his hand. "Well, think about it this way." Minho began. "Math is not just about torturous concepts and rules to follow blindly. It's more about the problem solving and strengthening your brain to understand how to deal with problems. It's training your brain to think logically and to analyze situations from different angles."

He just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, clearly unconvinced. "You're such a nerd-" He rolled onto his side. "Can we take a break? We've been doing this for over an hour."

Minho smiled. "Alright, fine. Let's take a break." He sat up. "Anything you wanna go do?"

Jisung sat up, thinking for a moment. He suddenly leaned close to Minho, puckering his lips.

Minho grinned. "If you insist-" He grabbed Jisung's face, moving closer.

Jisung panicked, trying to pull away from his grasp. But Minho held on his face tight as Jisung struggled to free himself. After some struggle, Jisung finally got himself free from Minho's grip. Jisung let out a nervous laugh, his cheeks pink.

"Okay, that is not what I had in mind for a break-" Jisung stated, looking away.

"Then what did you have in mind?"

Jisung fell onto the bed, shrugging. "There's not much we can do."

Minho laid next to him, a playful glint in his eyes. He wrapped an arm around Jisung, pulling him closer. Jisung looked up at him with big eyes, smiling shyly. He wrapped an arm around his shoulders, nuzzling his head into Minho's chest. Minho gently leaned close, planting a kiss on top of his head.

"You're so cheesy~" Jisung teased with a chuckle, snuggling closer to Minho.

"Only for you." Minho gaze softened as he looked down at Jisung, a warm smile growing on his face. He gently ran his fingers through Jisung's hair, savoring the quiet moment. Unable to shake a warm sensation spreading through his chest, Minho took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Hey, Jisung?" Minho spoke softly, breaking the silence.

"Hey, Minho," Jisung responded softly, looking up at him.

Their eyes met, and Jisung's heart skipped a beat. Minho also seemed to hesitate, his gaze fixed on Jisung as if he were trying to find the right words.

Jisung hesitantly, his voice barely above a whisper, "Sometimes, just being together like this is enough, you know?"

As Jisung and Minho laid there together, the weight of those words lingered in the air. It almost grew heavy.
