"So, why do you always have your headphones on you?" Minho said whilst he continued to slide in the books on his end of the shelf.
"Why don't you?" Jisung responded from the otherside of the shelf.
Minho held back a light chuckle. "I don't know...Maybe I'll start to, who knows?"
Jisung seemed skeptical as his eyebrows furrowed and his face scrunched together. He pushed the book in its place, licking his lips out of habit as he wondered about something. "They're um...a safe item, that you can say gives me...comfort? They block the eyesight of people most of the time. And, you can never go wrong with music," Jisung sounds satisfied from his ending.
Minho peaks through a space of books to find Jisung's gaze from the opposite side. "Interesting...Which, reminds me, I finished your playlist."
"Did you?" Jisung peaks through the space between them and locks their gazes together. Minho is caught off guard by the view in front of him as he admires Jisung's visuals.
"Y-yeah, I'll send it to you later," he uttered out nervously, glancing to the floor for a split moment.
"Hmm, I wonder what kind of songs you put in there," Jisung mumbled before continuing to put the books in place.
"Just a warning, my kind of music taste will most definitely be different from yours," Minho said.
"I know. That's why I wanted to do this," Jisung reassured.
"So you don't mind it?" Minho asked.
"Nope, not at all," Jisung exhaled out a soft breath as he finished the set of books. He debates whether or not to return to Minho's side, but he decides against it and instead stays standing on the other side, despite not doing anything but hearing the shuffling of books from the opposite end.
His thoughts start to kill his mind, and the sudden urge to just speak out loud takes him whole. "Do you wanna know why...I wear my headphones all the time? Why I'm seen wearing that old small hat all the time?"
Minho pauses what he's doing, waits to hear the silence that follows afterwards. His jaw tenses, uncertain of what to answer the lad. Would it be okay to know a part of Jisung, Minho all so well knew was a highly sensitive acknowledgement? Was he ready to know a personal part of Jisung? And was Jisung, himself, ready to show Minho that part of him?
Minho hears the sound of soft breathing from the otherside, unable to move as he had no knowledge of what to say to Jisung. What did he want to hear?
"Have you ever thought of death before?" Minho becomes alarmed as he hears the words escape Jisung's mouth. Minho couldn't see Jisung, but he knew the brunette was surely resting his back against the bookshelf.
