Minho is Jisung's new neighbour but he isn't like every other person around there. He finds no joy in life anymore, not ever since his brother's death. With his whole family being gone Minho doesn't want anything else other tha...

"Will you come with us next Tuesday? We'll go the cinema to watch a horror movie." Changbin questioned Han as he and Chan had stopped on the doorstep on their way out of the house.
The youngest boy leaned his hand on the doorframe and hummed, "I'll ask Minho hyung about it and I'll tell ya. I know you'll miss our company soo much until then." he stuck his tongue out at Changbin who had rolled his eyes at him because of his last sentence.
"Of course." Chan chuckled and reached over to pat his head, "Go get some rest, Hannie." he turned around, grabbing Changbin's arm as he did so. The latter waved his hand and followed after his boyfriend.
"Time to relax." Han breathed out and closed the door with his foot before heading back to the living room where Minho was cleaning up food leftovers and glasses. Jisung was about to take the glasses since Minho had already taken the plates to the sink, but the older stopped him, "It's okay, you can go lay down now, I'll do it."
"But hyung-"
Minho shook his head and waved him off as he took the glasses from his hands "Fine.." the sick boy sighed in defeat and plopped down on the couch, covering his lower body with the blanket, "That doesn't mean I can't watch you though."
Minho hummed and started washing the dishes "Doesn't that sound creepy to you?" he finished with the first plate, placing it in the drying rack and moving to the next one. He heard Jisung whine at him being 'too serious' about his jokes to which the boy found amusing.
He was almost done until he came face to face with a knife.. Just laying there in the sink..
He reached down and grabbed it, inspecting it as he turned it from one side to another like he was looking at something so important. His eyes travelled down to his arms and pulled up the sleeves of the jacket he was wearing, bringing the sharp item closer and closer..
Until he felt like he had found his body control again and quickly put it down, blinking rather quickly in shock. It took him a moment to realize he was about to harm himself and Jisung was in the next room.
You could say he was currently in a dilemma.
He had promised himself he'd join his family as soon as he could but on the other hand, he had also promised Jisung he wouldn't do it and the boy would change his point of view about it.
And to be honest, Minho obviously chooses his family over his neighbour but doing something like that, give him trauma, to Jisung felt wrong. He didn't want to make the boy think he failed or that he wasn't a good person, enough to make Minho stay.
"Minho hyung?"
Said boy's voice and a hand on his lower back brought him out of his thoughts and his eyes met Jisung's worried ones, "Are you okay?" it was evident in his voice too.
The older nodded and breathed out, turning his body away from the sink "Can we go to your room, please?"
Jisung, noticing the strange behaviour was left confused but as soon as his eyes caught a glimpse of the knife which was still in the sink he quickly nodded, "Of course. You can go first, I'll join you in a second okay? I won't take long, I promise." he put his pinky finger up to show his seriousness.
Minho found it silly how he still made pinky promises but hummed in return and walked away.
Jisung waited until Minho was out of sight before approaching the sink to wash the knife himself before drying it with a towel. Then he hid it away along with other sharp objects so Minho wouldn't be able to easily see them.
"I trust you, hyung.." he exhaled, speaking to himself. And it was true after today, his hopes were getting up and he'd definitely take the older out to show him some of his comfort and happy places. When he gets better, that is.

"Would you like to ask me about my favourite things now? I believe it's only fair that way." Jisung watched as Minho looked like he was thinking about it before giving him a small shrug, "I actually have something else to ask you, if I can?"
The younger felt his heartbeat speed up a little, not really knowing why but he felt nervous about the upcoming question. What if he didn't know how to answer? What if it was something so personal and him being a person who can't refuse would say something he shouldn't have?
"Shoot." he simply said and Minho looked at him "Have you always been this way?"
Jisung blinked a couple of times and frowned, tilting his head "What do you mean by that?" did he mean annoying or something..?
"I mean-" he let out a deep breath he didn't know he was holding "-happy. Like you have no enemies in this world and you always see the bright side of things, you're positive.. How can you do that?" he closed his eyes and rested his head on the wall against the bed.
Jisung's face softened, hearing the slight sad tone on the boy's voice and he smiled sadly, "It wasn't always easy for me, hyung." he admitted, his response clearly shocking the older who turned his head towards him.
"What?" he mumbled and Jisung chuckled, shaking his head "It's- It's a story for another time, right now we can focus on getting to know each other step by step, okay?"
Minho understood very well that he didn't want to talk about it right now and decided to do Jisung's favour by asking him about his own favourite things.
