Clueless Boy - Minsung

Chapter 49

"Baby" Minho called, arriving in the living room.

Jisung was busy passing the broom over the floor. But he didn't respond.

"Jisung ?" Minho called again, confused.

"Yes ?" Jisung responded, still concentrated on tidying up.

"I was just confused" Minho chuckled "Why didn't you answer the first time ?"

Jisung turned to him, tilting his head to the side.

"I called you 'baby'" Minho repeated.

"... It's me ?" Jisung asked, blinking.

"Yes" Minho chuckled "You're my baby, it's a nickname for lovers"

"Oh" Jisung only responded, confused.

"You know, like the way I call you Ji and you call me Min" He explained "Well, between lovers, it happens to call each other with loving nicknames : my baby, my love, honey ..."

"Oh okay" He nodded "But why ?"

"Um... Because it's cute ?" He responded, not even sure himself "I don't know why exactly, it's an habit thing"

He nodded, not really understanding but getting it.

"You don't like it ?" Minho asked.

"I don't dislike it" He responded "But... Why does Felix calls me 'bub' ?" He asked, even more confused.

"It happens too between very close friends and depending on the personality. Felix is a very bubbly and cute guy, he likes to give his friends nicknames. But if you take Seungmin, you have to know he'll never do such things, see ?" Minho explained.

"Oh okay" He nodded, putting the broom back to it's place, and walking to the couch where his books were "It's fun"

"Do you mind if I call you that ?" Minho asked softly, gazing at him.

"No" Jisung smiled back "Do you mind if I don't ?"

"Not at all" Minho chuckled "But I'm curious of why ?"

"I don't know, I just really appreciate your name" Jisung said, thoughtful "It sounds good"

"Does it ?" Minho smiled, feeling praised, somehow.

"Mmh, love it" Jisung said mindlessly, before picking up his book.

Minho gazed at him for some time, loving his little concentrated frown.

He picked his phone to watch the time, realizing it was already 13:30 and they still didn't have lunch.

They woke up pretty early, because Jisung felt disgusting and wanted to have a shower. Minho helped him because he was a bit sleepy, and he wanted to give him some love after the litte scare he had the day before. After the shower, Jisung was too awaken to go back to sleep, and decided to go read his books and stay in his little bubble. And Minho did the same.

But now they should eat. He should make some food for them.

"Felix just texted me" Jisung said, bringing their plates to the sink.

"Mmh ?"

"Do we have something planned today ?" Jisung asked

"Nope" Minho shrugged "I was ready for a lazy day"

"Oh okay" Jisung nodded "Then I'll go with Felix"

"Replacing me with the freckled boy already ?" Minho playfully said.

Jisung turned worriedly, expression softened.

"No !" He defended "How could I replace you ?!" He continued, terrified.
