Do not touch (Minsung)

45

Lee Know laid back his bare back coming in contact with Jisung's bare chest. Jisung brought his wet hands up digging them into Lee Know's scalp beginning to scratch at his head gently massaging around. "Do you have a good relationship with your parents? If you don't mind me asking." Jisung whispered feeling Lee Know relax more and more into him. "Sort of. It's complicated. I know they love me." Lee Know spoke feeling the hum rumble Jisung's chest as it met his ears.

"I get it." Jisung spoke letting silence envelop them. He continued moving his fingers through Lee Know's hair. Looking over at the side of the tub Jisung found a cup and grabbed it filling it with water. "Tilt your head back." Jisung spoke and Lee Know complied. He ran water over Lee Know's hair making sure it wouldn't drip down his face. Lee Know took a deep breath relishing in how he could feel every inch of his body slowly relax.

Jisung quietly washed the older's hair keeping him close and pressed against his chest. "Hyung?" Jisung whispered carding his fingers over Lee Know's skin. "Hm?" Lee Know hummed. "Do you... miss it?" Jisung let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and stilled his movements. "Miss what?" He whispered tensing a bit. Jisung took a deep breath grabbing onto Lee Know's shoulders. "Being together. Being with each other, just being near each other." He spoke trailing his hands over Lee Know's chest wrapping around his neck, he rested his head against Lee Know's shoulder.

"I do Ji." He spoke and Jisung's breath hitched. "We have spent the past three months together during what's most likely the pinicle of our careers, we've unknowingly become a part of each other." Lee Know spoke grabbing Jisung's hand placing soft warm kisses on it. "We just don't know how to navigate the world together that's why we aren't working." Lee Know spoke leaning further into Jisung. "What if I want us to work?" Jisung whispered waiting praying for the correct words to come out of Lee Know's mouth. "Then we have to work for it."

"God you're beautiful." Jisung spoke detaching himself from the older and beginning to rinse the shampoo out of the older's hair. Lee know giggled a bit. "Let's table this conversation for now." Jisung spoke wringing out Lee Know's hair. "Here let me do yours." The older spoke turning waiting for Jisung to give him the space to flip around. The both moved so that they were in the same position just switched roles.

As Lee Know washed Jisung's hair the younger began to hum a soft tune relaxing into the warm embrace and water. Once they finished they both got out wrapping the other in warm towels before walking into Lee Know's closet.

"Here wear this." Lee know spoke throwing a bunch of clothes at Jisung. "What the fuck." Jisung whispered under his breath before beginning to get changed. Once the two were changed Jisung racked his pants for his car keys. "Imma go put my stuff in my car and then I'll be back in okay?" Jisung spoke and Lee Know nodded as they ascended the stairs. Jisung headed right out the door into the bright daylight. The cool breeze hit his face blowing the loose tshirt he had on around.

He made it down the street to wear he parked his car. He opened it shoving his stuff in the backseat. When he returned to the house he saw Felix and Chan walking out together. A smirk came to his face. "You guys leaving?" Jisung spoke. "Yeah I need to get ready for my shoot in two hours. And it seems like Hyunjin ditched me for Changbin so Chan is gonna bring me home." Felix spoke pointing to the man next to him who was staring at the ravenette intently. "Well have fun you two." Jisung spoke moving past Felix giving him a hug on his way through. "Don't have too much fun." He whispered before heading back into the house.

"Hey Ji can we give Jeongin a ride?" Seungmin spoke and Jisung rolled his eyes. "I mean he basically lives with us now so yeah sure." Jisung spoke. "Let's finish helping here first." Jisung spoke tossing his keys onto the kitchen island and beginning to trek around and look for Lee know. When he finally found him in the upstairs lounge he was shocked.

Equipped with a large trash bag he furiously tossed trash and other things into it. When he finally turned to face the figure at the door Jisung saw it. "Hyung why are you crying?" Jisung spoke closing the door behind himself. He stood at the door staring intently at the older who sniffled dropping the trash bag. "I don't even know anymore." He spoke through sniffles. "Come here." Jisung spoke outstretching his arms for the boy who sought comfort and solace in a warm embrace.  When they pulled away Lee Know immediately went back to cleaning like he never melded into Jisung's embrace.

"Talk to me." Jisung spoke crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. "No I-i-I don't even know where I would begin and it's not your problem." Lee Know shook his head trying to find his armor once again. "Hyung, whatever it is you don't have to face it alone." Jisung spoke softly into the quiet embrace of the air surrounding them.

"That's the only way I know." Lee Know whispered walking out of the room with cracked armor hanging over his shoulders.
