It Started In The Hallway - Minsung

Seventy-Three

"It's so nice outside tonight!" Jisung says, his hands in between his legs as he sits crisscross on the chair.

"It really is, isn't it?" Minho replies, sitting in a chair next to him, one leg crossed over the other as he leans back.

"Yea." Jisung says, staring into the starry night sky.

The breeze is making Jisung's fluffy hair blow to the side, but that means Minho can see his face better. The light above them from the porch is shining down on them and to Minho, it makes Jisung all glowing and adorable.

Jisung doesn't realize how Minho is staring at him yet, but when he looks at Minho and their eyes meet, his heart skips a beat.

"It's uh... The breeze is very lovely tonight, huh?" Jisung says, flustered as he looks everywhere but Minho's eyes.

"Yep." Minho says, turning his head to look off into the lake.

Minho is all in his thoughts until he thinks of something Jisung might like.

"Have you ever been ice skating?" Minho asks.

"No... Why?"

"Well, hopefully this week if it gets even colder, then the lake will freeze more, and we can go ice skating." Minho replies.

"Ooo! Really? That sounds fun!" Jisung says, excitedly.

"Yea, we have a few pairs of ice skates here, but if we need more, I could always go buy some." Minho says.

"You're so kind, Minho!" Jisung says, admiring him.

"Yea, sure." He chuckles. "I just want all of us to have a good time this week."

"You really are!" Jisung protests.

Minho rolls his eyes in a joking way.

"Wha- How come you can roll your eyes and I can't?" Jisung says, pouting.

"Cause I know you can't say what I said to you." Minho says, smirking.

"Who says?" Jisung says, trying to act tough.

"Do it."

Jisung pauses.

"W-well... I just don't want to!" he says, shyly.

"Yea, okay." Minho smirks.

"Ugh, this isn't fair!" Jisung says, jokingly.

"I never said you couldn't roll your eyes; I was just letting you know what would happen if you did. You can if you want." Minho replies, all flirty.

"C-come on! You say it as if you want me to!" Jisung says, blushing.

"Maybe I do." Minho says, a smirk on his face.

"Hah, you're lying. You don't!" Jisung says.

"That's for me to know~" Minho replies.

Jisung shakes his head. This teasing is really getting to him and he still has to share a bed with him.

It is around 12:30 AM when they start getting ready to go to bed.

They change into their sleep shirt, flashing each other, but none of them really care anymore. For pants, Jisung hides behind the bed while Minho doesn't really care.

As soon as they are all ready for bed, Minho shuts the light off and the two get under the covers and get all comfy.

The room is really dark, and Jisung is really afraid of the dark.

He feels really embarrassed asking this, but he is scared.

"Um, Minho?" Jisung says, growing more nervous by the second.

"Yes?" Minho replies.

"I uh... Do you think I could hold your hand or something?"

"Of course." Minho says, finding Jisung's hand under the sheets.

Their hands meet and their fingers interlock. Minho takes his other hand and places it around Jisung's waist, pulling him closer.

"Are you scared?" Minho asks, already knowing the answer.

"I was just a little bit, but I'm not anymore!" Jisung says. Minho gives off a feeling of safety, like he will protect him not matter what happens.

"That's good." Minho says, keeping his hand on Jisung's waist.

"Yea..." Jisung says, getting sleepier by the second.

A few minutes later, the two are sleeping peacefully as they hold hands.

The next morning, Jisung wakes up and hears birds. The window is cracked open, and Minho is not in bed anymore.

He must've gotten up.

Jisung gets up and gets ready for the day. He walks out to the living room, looking for Minho.

Unsurprisingly, he finds Minho sitting on the couch, reading something on his phone.

"Minho, hi." Jisung says, going to sit next to him.

"Hey. How did you sleep?" Minho asks.

"I slept okay! How about you?" Jisung asks.

"It was even better since I was holding your hand." Minho flirts.

"Well, uh... what have you been doing? You look all sweaty." Jisung says, trying not to sound mean.

"I went for a run. It's nice outside and I woke up early. I didn't wake you, did I?" Minho replies.

"No, no you didn't!" Jisung says.

"Good. I was trying not to." Minho says.

Jisung smiles at Minho, not able to hide his happiness.

Minho looks at Jisung, his gaze full of care.

Jisung hears a door open down the hall, Hyunjin and Seungmin emerging from the room.

The four talk until the other four join them.

"Are you guys suuuure you don't want to come?" Felix asks.

"Positive. We are going to stay here and make breakfast for everyone." Minho says, looking at Chan. "Unless you want to go."

"Nah, I'm good here. Thanks for the offer anyways." Chan says.

"Oooookay...." Felix replies. "Let's goooo!"

The other six walk out the door.
