Ch-24 " Jesus Christ Minho!"

[IT BEEN A WEEK SINCE HYUNJIN GOT EMBARRASSED BY CHAN'S PLAYFUL TAUNTS]
.
As Hyunjin stirred from his slumber, he was greeted by the soft purring of Dori nestled between Minho's arms. He couldn't help but smile at the sight, marveling at how Minho remained undisturbed by Dori's antics. If it were a human disturbing his sleep, they would have surely faced Minho's wrath, but Dori seemed to have a special pass.

With a fond peck on Minho's head and a gentle scratch behind Dori's ears, Hyunjin slipped out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. As he freshened up, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the peaceful morning and the simple joys of domestic life.

By the time Hyunjin returned to the bedroom, Minho was still sound asleep, and Dori had departed, likely in search of someone more willing to entertain his morning antics. Hyunjin chuckled softly as he imagined Dori's disappointment at Minho's refusal to wake up.

Heading to the kitchen, Hyunjin fed Kkami and the kittens, his heart swelling with affection for his furry companions. Thoughts of his nephew and niece, Bbama and Berry, crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what mischief they were getting into today.

Preparing a simple breakfast of chicken sandwiches and coffee for himself, along with a matcha latte for Minho, Hyunjin made his way back to the bedroom. Setting the cups on the bedside table, he couldn't help but admire the sight of a still-sleeping Minho, his innocence and vulnerability shining through.

As Minho stirred awake, calling out for hugs in his adorable fluffy state and sleepy voice, Hyunjin couldn't resist. Embracing Minho, he relished in the warmth and intimacy of the moment, feeling a sense of pride at unlocking this softer side of Minho.

"What's wrong, Bubble? You seem grumpy," Hyunjin mumbled, snuggling closer.

Hyunjin chuckled, pressing a gentle kiss to Minho's forehead. "Pho pho?" he teased, mimicking Minho's pout.

After a brief exchange of affection, Hyunjin offered Minho his morning tea, suggesting a shower together. Minho declined, opting to stay in bed a little longer.

"Okay, I'll be back after getting ready. You can use the bathroom later, then we'll eat and head to work. Breakfast is already made," Hyunjin informed him, pulling on his shirt.

Peeking out from his pillow, Minho flashed a mischievous grin. "I want a morning show, Jinnie," he declared playfully.

Hyunjin raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Huh?"

"Don't pull the shower curtains. I'll watch from bed," Minho replied with a cheeky wink.

Hyunjin shook his head with a fond smile. "Not now, naughty ass," he teased, giving Minho's behind a playful swat before heading out, leaving Minho to enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning a little while longer.

Hyunjin finished his shower and began his skincare routine, he couldn't help but smile at the sound of Minho's playful cooing from behind the closed doors. He was certain that one of the three kittens was keeping Minho entertained, but to his surprise, he heard a playful, growly bark.

"Wow, they're getting along well today," Hyunjin mused to himself, continuing his routine with a sense of contentment.

Emerging from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, Hyunjin wore the locket Minho had given him around his neck, his hair still tousled from the shower. As he stepped into the room, he was greeted by the heartwarming sight of Minho playing with Kkami, their puppy, using a toy to entertain him.

Leaning against the doorframe, Hyunjin watched with fondness as Kkami bounded towards him, his tail wagging excitedly. Bending down, Hyunjin scooped up the energetic puppy, pressing a kiss to his head. "Ask appa to get fresh. Your papa is hungry, Kkami," he joked, addressing Minho.
