Love is beautiful || Minwon

Chapter 22

"I can eat it myself, Mingyu. I'm not that sick." Wonwoo refused when Mingyu was about to feed him the soup.

"But you're still sick, let me feed you please." the younger drew the bowl back when the older wanted to grab it.

"Mingyu, I am not a kid. Don't treat me like one."

"You know that it is invigorating to be a child sometime and let someone else take care of you."

"I- " the homeowner stunted in his speech and heaved a surrendered sigh, "fine, do whatever you want."

The corner of the younger's mouth curved into an authentic smile. If he was a real puppy, you would see his tail flapping around like a mad man. It's about the time that he had done something for the elderly. He was constantly on the receiving end throughout their intercourse.

Meanwhile, Wonwoo had always been strong. To other people, he was that cold and reliable hyung and dongsaeng. He had that need to be a grown adult since he was barely a teenager. A teenager who chose to work a part time job instead of enjoying his high school life, so that his parents didn't have to give him pocket money.

Someone else taking care of him sounds burdensome to the one who always looks out for other people before himself.

"Hyung, open wide."

But he had to admit that being taken care of like this does feel very nice.

Especially by this giant puppy in front of him.

Mingyu scooped out a spoonful of soup, gave it a few blows before forwarding toward the older. He opened his mouth so that Wonwoo could replicate. Yes, just like a kid.

"Delicious, isn't it?" Mingyu asked after seeing the older man humming, "Whenever I'm sick, my mom would make this soup for me. After that I would feel much much better." He shined his canine teeth, "And I want you to feel better soon too."

The younger then blew another spoonful of soup for the older and another until the whole bowl emptied. Wonwoo looked at Mingyu from time to time, and emerged himself into the kind-hearted gentleman in front of him. The man that somehow made the sensation in his stomach fluttered.

He knew that nothing good would come out when he yearns more than what he had received, but the older man could not help himself from wanting Mingyu to treat him like this. Like they are something.

Wonwoo realized that he craved Mingyu's attention very much.

"Hyung, I washed the dishes."

The homeowner knew that Mingyu was definitely also cleaning up his plates from morning and afternoon when he stacked them. He was too sick to be bothered by some dirty dishes. Wonwoo made a mental note to thank the younger one later.

When Mingyu came back from the kitchen with some fever pills on one hand and a glass of water on the others, Wonwoo was shocked.

First thing he saw was the younger's forearms that were exposed from rolling up to his elbows, preventing from soaking wet. Those veins were popping like crazy and all he did was wash a few plates. Sexy as fuck.

Wonwoo gulped and forced his eyes to dart away from Mingyu's arms when the younger was coming near. His cheeks burned in embarrassment for checking the latter out. Meanwhile Mingyu was clueless, he excelled in everything except noticing the obvious clue from the older.

"Hyung, here, take the medicine." Mingyu pushed onto the older man's hand.

"I don't remember having any pills around." Wonwoo narrowed his eyebrows
