Minho trudged up the steps to the apartment he shared with Jisung, unlocked the door and slammed it shut. His back against the door, he slid down until he reached the floor. He leaned his head back and began to cry.

Jisung heard the door slam, and flinched. He walked the short distance from the kitchen to see what was the matter. The younger rushed to his boyfriend's side when he saw him crying.

"Min, baby, what's wrong?" he asked gently, palms pressed to Minho's cheeks. Minho held his wrists gently.

"I..I got..." he couldn't seem to get himself to say it. Minho sighed.

"Shhh, Min. For now, you don't have to tell me anything," Jisung murmured softly. Minho dropped his head.

"Can you just...hold me? For a little?" he asked in a small voice. Jisung smiled.

"Come here, jagiya." Minho pulled Jisung to sit in his lap, wrapping his arms around his waist and crying into his shoulder. Jisung hugged his shoulders, reaching his hands up to stroke his hair. He let Minho stay in his arms and cry, because he really seemed to need it.

After a little, Minho pulled away and wiped his face. "I'm okay now."

Jisung frowned. He could see that Minho was still upset, but he assumed he didn't want to seem vulnerable. He'd also had issues with hiding his emotions to seem stronger. "Minho. You don't ever have to pretend with me. You're allowed to feel things, and you are most definitely allowed to cry, especially with me. I'm not going anywhere."

Minho's eyes welled up again, and he let the tears fall. He leaned his head back on Jisung's shoulder. "Just tell me everything is going to be okay," he begged quietly.

Jisung brought his head to his chest and shushed him, stroking his hair and rubbing his back. "Everything will be just fine. I'll always be here for you, no matter what it is you want or need. You are going to be okay, we are going to be perfectly fine."

"You make me feel safe," Minho whispered, his cries quieting. Jisung smiled and kissed the top of his head.

"Likewise. I love you. Every part of you. Even the parts of you you may not like," he answered. Minho further nuzzled his face into Jisung's chest.

"You make everything a little easier for me. Even this." Jisung pulled him back and kissed his lips.

"I'm glad I can help you. I just love to see you happy, Minho." Minho closed his eyes and sighed as Jisung peppered kisses over his face. "Can I ask, though, what's wrong?" Minho swallowed.

"Jisung, I'm so sorry," he mumbled.

"What for, Min? I'm not mad, whatever it is." Minho sighed heavily.

"I got fired." Jisung gasped quietly. "They said I have to be moved out of my office by 10 AM tomorrow."

"Oh baby, I'm so sorry." He pulled Minho back into his chest, and though he wasn't necessarily crying anymore, he still hugged back tight and fisted Jisung's shirt in his hands. "It'll be okay Minho. You know you could always join us at the studio. I've heard you sing, baby, you're amazing, and your dancing is beautiful. JYP would love to have you."

Minho nodded slightly against his chest. "Can we not talk about that right now? I just want to stay here, like this, for now."

Jisung kissed his head. "Of course, Min."
