His Bride - A Minsung Story

十七

Minho's POV:

What did I just do? I mean, he kissed me back. That's a good thing, right? I continuously stumble through the hallways of the castle after I dropped Jisung off with his friend. Honestly, when I saw his friend I got jealous because damn, his friend is super-hot and something about Jisung being close to him ticked me off. I shake my head to clear my thoughts, I shouldn't be thinking about Jisung right now but for some reason no matter what I do I can't get him out of my head. It's been like this for two weeks now.

My feet take me to my office. My subconscious is yelling at me to finish my work that I left in order to spend time with Jisung. I enter the room and find it empty, I guess Chan left for a bit. Hopefully he'll be back because I need some serious help.

~+~

I bang my head against the desk in complete exhaustion. Chan never came back and I constantly had to fight the sheer amount of Jisung thoughts that invaded my brain. I let out a sigh, all I want to do right now is go see him. I sit back in my chair and run my hands down my face, what even are these feelings? Everything is so foreign to me.

My eyes snap up when I hear the doorway open to reveal a sheepish looking Chan. I narrow my eyes suspiciously at him, "Where have you been?"

Chan chuckles and nervously runs a hand through his hair, "I might have been with Felix?"

I give him a playful glare, I'm not too mad at him.....yet, "Chan~~, you left me with so much work!"

"Sorry!" Chan collapses on a chair, "Minho, you wouldn't understand. I'm in love!"

I go completely silent. I need to figure out what's going on with me and Chan seems pretty experienced with these things seeing his relationship with Felix or whatever it is. Maybe I should ask him? But that's so embarrassing! And not to mention awkward.

"Why did you go quiet all of a sudden?" Chan asks.

"Chan?"

"Yeah?"

"What.....what does it feel like to be in love?" I whisper out, embarrassed about even saying that out loud. I move my eyes away from him, afraid of his reaction.

"Is this about Jisung?" Chan questions me.

"Shut up and just answer the question," I snap my eyes back to him and glare. He puts his hands up in surrender and continues to speak,

"Well....." Chan spaces out deep in thought, "Why don't you describe what you feel when you're around Jisung?"

"Why?"

"Fine. Just think about it then," Chan scoffs at my stubbornness. I nod slowly and start to picture Jisung's face. His adorable chipmunk cheeks, bright eyes, and excited energy all make me want to hug him forever and never let go. And that time I kissed him; I was so entranced by his beauty and his smile. In the moment I wasn't thinking about anything, just the fact that everything felt so......so right.

I see Chan smile out of the corner of my eye and he finally speaks, "Whoever you are thinking about Minho? Geez you are so in love, I can see it in your eyes, and you smiled! I haven't seen you smile in a while."

"Really? This is love?" I mean, it does feel pretty amazing whenever I'm around the squirrel.

Chan gets up and looks me straight in the eyes and smiles, "It is."

"God what would I do without you?"

"Probably die," Chan flips his imaginary hair.

"Probably."
