Jisung cursed Seungmin in his head for saying such a thing since all that was suddenly running through his mind was the thought of kissing Minho. He'd finally gotten past such a thought, only for the younger to force it back into place and he wasn't particularly thrilled about being back at square one with that sort of thing. And the worst part was, that he had to hide his frustration because how was he supposed to tell Minho that Seungmin just made him want to kiss the dancer?

"Hey," Minho said after he'd emptied his bowl of ramen he'd prepared just moments before, propping his elbows on the table to rest his head on his hand as he looked at Jisung who was simply finishing up his own bowl. Thanks to him speaking, the producer was brought back to reality, though with the thought not going far, "should we?"

"Hm?" Jisung hummed, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked up at the older man. He wasn't sure if he was confused because Minho truly made no sense with his question, or if it was because he wasn't fully paying attention when he spoke in the first place. He then tilted his head and wondered if he looked the same as earlier that day. If he looked like a confused puppy like Minho had claimed. That's what he was going for at least.

"What Seungmin said," Minho replied, shifting in his seat. It made Jisung wonder for a moment if he was uncomfortable. He almost asked before the older one spoke again, "should we just kiss?"

The younger's eyes widened as the slight disappointment that he seemingly did not look like a confused puppy (solely based on the fact that Minho didn't say anything about it) vanishing from his senses, "what... what are you talking about?"

"Seungmin said we should just kiss," Minho replied, shrugging like it was a normal thing to suggest. And Jisung wondered if it was a normal thing in the older's eyes because they'd kissed not once, but twice before. And Minho continued since Jisung was silent, "do you agree? Should we just do it?"

"You're crazy," Jisung nervously chuckled as he avoided eye contact. How was he supposed to react to such a joke? He was used to Minho's teasing, but the older had never gone to such an extent. Minho had acted like he would kiss the younger, but he'd never actually done so. He never asked even since all it was, was a joke. Still, Jisung couldn't help but think, I wish he wasn't joking.

Minho laughed, although a little delayed, "damn, I was trying to fluster you."

"Yeah," Jisung chuckled too, though forced and he hoped the dancer didn't notice it, "I caught onto that one actually."

"You don't normally," the older one mumbled and shook his head, still with a light chuckle lingering.

Despite the reason given, the two felt like the air was a bit thick after that for a reason Jisung didn't know. He tried so hard to read the older, and yet still gave up quickly since he, again, realized it was useless. So, when Minho offered to clean up while Jisung went to his room to bed, the producer was quick to take the deal as he was desperate to get away from the awkwardness in the room. Trying to get away from the questions he wanted to ask. Get away from the thoughts Seungmin had let back into his head.

Jisung sat at the older's desk in his room, sure that Minho was staying in the kitchen for way longer than necessary all because of what had happened. Simply due to the fact that it shouldn't have taken him fifteen minutes to clean up two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks. The producer pulled his phone from his pocket, hoping to distract himself somehow; so, when Jisung saw he had a couple unread messages, he sighed, immediately focusing on them instead and taking his time to answer each one.

Jisung could only focus on them for so long before there were no more messages to answer. To which, the male then turned to TikTok as a distraction, only for the first video that popped up to be of him and Minho, resulting in him immediately closing the app after that. Sighing, Jisung gently ran a hand through his hair as all he could think about was the times he'd kissed Minho thanks to the awkward moment in the kitchen that Seungmin had so graciously caused. And remembering the fact resulted in the producer sending a message to the younger for him to read in the morning since it was already late and surely, he was already asleep like Jisung should be, but oh so thanks to the younger, Jisung wasn't so sure he'd get any sleep. Not for a while at least.
