Soulmate System - Minsung

Chapter 34 - Falling deeper

Lee Minho

"Another day another test." Chan sighs, doodling something on his homework paper, his head resting on one hand. He looked pretty over it, well I guess we all were over this shit.

"Another day another internship application." Seungmin corrects, rubbing his own eyes to rid them of the tiredness consuming the room. It spread like wildfire. The yawns I mean.

Yawn after yawn, triggering a chain reaction that was only reminding us of how it was time to take a break. We all need one. Considering the fact that seungmin had tapped his phone like eight times to check the time, each tap causing his lockscreen to light up with a photo of him and Hyunjin, and the time displayed at the top moving even slower than before.

"Should we meet up with the others now?"Changbin pipes up, lifting his head from the table he'd been resting it on—definitely being productive and not snoozing.

At that idea, my eyes light up, ridding themselves of fatigue. I get to see jisung. Finally, after a long day, I'll get to see his cute face again.

"Felix is gonna kill me," changbin adds, collecting his papers and placing them messily into his notebook, "I think I told him we were gonna get kfc. But jeongins doing vegan week so we can't."

"Vegan week?"

"Tell me about it!" Chan sighs, rolling his shoulders at the mention of his boyfriend, as if he was waiting for the opportunity to bring this up "Jeongins forcing me to eat vegan kimchi— I thought kimchi already was vegan!"

"Well just get Felix some good popcorn." I shrug, swinging my bag over my shoulder, getting ready to finally leave this hell hole, "and let him pick the movie of course."

Changbins and Chan both let out a collective groan, "Hes gonna pick my little pony again!"

****

This was the best feeling in the world.

I'm telling you nothing can beat it. Not a million dollars, not 6 billion either. Nothing can explain how amazing it is.

To have the Han jisung in your arms. Cuddled up beside you and basking in your warmth.

If I could stay like this forever, I think I'd die happy.

It was perfect.

Jisung layed against my chest as the two of us cuddled underneath a warm blanket. Our friend group had gotten together for a movie night, but then immediately couples up as soon as we got here. Even after Felix begged to sit with jisung, I wasn't going to lay up the opportunity to relieve all my stress with a classic jisung hug.

Now it was more of a cuddle party with my little pony as background noise.

Jisung shifts in my arms, making me move up to allow him to be more comfortable. I tried to control my breathing too, it would obnoxious if I was mouth breathing in such a precious moment. I don't know why I'm thinking about this so much, considering we've cuddled for years as friends.

But this felt different. So much better.

"Hyung your heart beating really fast." Jisung lifts up his head from my chest to meet my eyes though the dim light displayed from the movie, "am I making you nervous?"

The rest of the group was doing their own things so nobody heard their little conversation on the couch. I guess they were all in their happy little worlds. And Felix's eyes were set on the movie for sure.

I gulp, my cheeks warming up in embarrassment, "N-no! I'm just really happy." I quickly deny, rubbing my hands up and down the small of Jisungs back. God was I always this obvious?

I gotta work on my nonchalance.

His lips break into a smile, "Me too hyung." He returns to his spot on my chest, leaning into me as my heart blooms and my cheeks only get warmer. Maybe it was getting hot under this blanket, is it just me?

I was honestly so blessed to have this boy in my life. I could say it hundred times without it being repetive.

He's the only reason why I'm here today. I don't think I could've ever lived without him.

"Hey... hyung?" Jisung speaks up, keeping his eyes straight this time. His voice was barely above a whisper, "I wanted to tell you something."

I look down at the younger, continuing to rub his back as concern makes my eyes brows knit, "Of course sungie. Anything." I whisper, hoping the boy was okay. It was nothing serious right? He was okay right?

That was the only important thing.

"I-I saw Baekho again. And we talked." Jisung whispers, his hands clenching around the fabric of my shirt. As if he was nervous to mention it, and it made me more scared.

Anger boils in my stomach, mixed in with concern for my soulmate, "he- he didn't try anything did he? Are you hurt? Everything's okay right?" I stammer out, trying to pull the boy up so I can take a closer look at his face, cursing at myself for perhaps not noticing anything earlier.

But jisung shakes his head, "I'm fine. And... I think it was a good thing." He adds on with a happier tone.

I tilt my head. Baekho and a good thing? In the same sentence?

"I feel like now I can move on." Jisung continues, still laying on my chest, "He was weighing down on me since that day, but I feel like I finally confirmed that he truly didn't care. He just wanted me, but not to love me. He liked power."

I nod, waiting for the younger to continue as I let one hands intertwine with his. To show him I was listening and I always will be.

"And now I feel like I can leave him behind forever. I don't have to think about him anymore." Jisung lifts himself up to bury his head in my neck, sending shiver down my spine. "No more Baekho."

"I'm so proud of you sungie." I whisper with a small smile, a temporary weight lifting off my shoulders when I realize the conclusion , "You are so strong, don't ever forget it."

Jisung lifts his head to send me smile too, our faces awfully close to eachother. I could feel his breath on my lips, it sent shivers down my spine, "you know, I really couldn't do anything eithout you."

"I couldn't live without you." I say almost too quickly, my eyes sparkling as I stared into his. Infatuated with everything about him. I always had been. "You are so precious to me. L-like a pretty gift that I want to keep safe."

A small blush decorated Jisungs cheeks, "gosh your too good at flirting." He shakes his head while trying to supress a flustered smile.

"Mm I just tell the truth. Just like I promised I would now." I let out a small chuckle, admiring the boy infront of me. My heart filling with so much joy. My world feeling complete.

When jisung looks back into my eyes, I feel myself melt. When he speaks again, I feel myself fall deeper in love with him. Especially with the next words he says.

"I think I'm ready to put a title... on our relationship."
