✿ 21 ✿

As promised, Minho was at jisung's door the next morning.

Jisung opened the door when the bell rang with excitement illuminating his features.
Minho couldn't help but reciprocate jisung's mood with a radiant smile of his own.

"Hi."

"Hi yourself."

Chan who was headed to work cleared his throat behind them to break the two out of their 'trance'.

He kissed jisung's forehead before stepping out, while Minho walked in. Chan surprised them both by pulling back Minho into a hug.

"Love you min.." it was said so softly that jisung almost missed it.

Minho was too stunned to say it back but chan knows he means well.

They pulled apart and chan's heart broke seeing Minho with fresh tears running down his face.

He smiled softly, his dimple showing, "good luck explaining that—" he gestured to his tear streaked face, "—to jisung"

"What-?" Minho was once again, unaware that he was crying.

"Hyung I'm right here y'know."

" 'course I do ji, bye!" Chan waved them off before going to his car.

Jisung closed the door more dumfounded than ever.

"Min what does he mean by that?"

"Uh, you want food?"

"Your attempt to bribe me with food as to Avoid the conversation is foolish."

Minho sighed.

"But it's working, because I'm hungry."

Minho's mood shifted, just a bit.
He told jisung to sit in the living room while he made breakfast.

"But I wanna helpppp hyung~"

Minho raised an eyebrow since it's the first time jisung ever called him that.

"How are you so sure that I'm not younger than you?" He asked, putting hands on his hips for emphasis.

"I dunno, you just give older vibes.."

Minho hummed.

"How old are you anyway min?"

"I'm nineteen-"

"DAMN YOU'RE OLD." jisung blurted out but then quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, it's just....why are you still in highschool then?"

"I had to take some time off and then I was being homeschooled for a while. That and a bunch of other shit kept me back" the elder replied while chopping some spam.

Jisung was intrigued and wanted to know more.

"Why is that? What happened for you to be held back?"

The questions were harmless but Minho couldn't help the feeling that came along with them being asked.
His jaw tightened and his grip on the knife caused his knuckles to go white.

Jisung noticed this and quickly added, "hyung you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I was just curious, I'm sorry."

Minho shook his head, "no. No it's fine, it's really hard to talk about though"

"Well whenever you're ready, I'll be here with open arms to offer you all the cuddles. And ice cream, mostly cuddles though. I'm rambling aren't I?"

Minho laughed and jisung was trying to commit the heavenly sound to his memory.

Jisung beamed at him before going to the couch.

The rest of the time was spent with jisung being on his phone and Minho in the kitchen

(✿⁠)

After breakfast was done, they ate, and now they were bored.

"Wanna watch anime?" Jisung suggested

"No way?! You like anime too?"

Jisung got giddy at this and they spoke back and forth about different animes and which ones were their favorites.

They eventually settled on black clover since neither of them have seen it before.

"Did you see what Asta just did to that sphere?! He broke it min min!!"

Minho giggled at jisung's giddiness and just looked at him with adoration.

The episode finished and jisung caught Minho staring. Again.

"You're staring again.."

"I know, but you're so pretty, how can I not?"

Jisung felt heat crept up his neck for the umpteenth time since being around Minho.
He finds it weird that someone he just met makes him feel like such a gooey mess by just talking.

"Are you trying to flirt with me Mr Lee?" Jisung squinted his eyes and leaned closer to Minho in a challenging manner.

"And if I am?" Minho reciprocated his movements and they were so close to each other now. "Then what?"

A paper thin space was left between them.

Jisung cleared his throat and looked away. Minho smirked knowing he won their little banter this time.

Just then, jisung remembered something.

"How come you and chan hyung are so close and you just met him?"

This caught Minho off guard and he was looking for excuses which jisung noticed too quickly.

"Don't lie to me, at least tell me this one thing."

Minho shrank back into the couch.

"Him and I used to be best friends."

"Eh? But he never mentioned you though?"

This broke Minho's heart, just a tad.

Then jisung added, "maybe he had a reason to so don't feel too bad about it."

"Yeah...maybe."

The alarm on Minho's phone went off and it was time for him to go.

"Why?"

Since when have I grown so attached to him? (Jisung's thought's)

"I have to visit someone.." Minho stopped his sentence there but he continued, because he wanted jisung to at least know something.

"I have to visit someone.." he repeated, "at the hospital."

Jisung could never hide his reactions, they were very animated. So the shock he was trying to hide didn't go very well.
That, and Minho was starting to read him like an open book.

He gasped and got up to stand infront of Minho.

"I hope they feel better soon, who ever they are." He gave the older a hug, who paused at first, before hugging the younger back.

"And I hope you're doing okay too min min" jisung added.

Minho's grip tightened around jisung. Normally, he'd have pushed someone away on impulse for doing that but jisung felt safe.

So with their arms tangled around each other, they swayed side to side before breaking apart.

Then jisung kissed his cheek.
He regretted it the next second tho.

"Shit I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that and oh my god-"

Minho placed a kiss of his own on jisung's cheek who just stood their frozen.

"See you tomorrow pretty."

"See you.."

When Minho left he squealed like a little girl before going back on the couch. He didn't continue the anime, because it's much more special to watch it with Minho now. His words.

a/n: ion like that.
