Minho held him tightly, until Jisung started shivering.

He didn't know if it was the exhaustion falling on him, or he was deadly cold, but nonetheless, he carried him to his bed.


Jisung let himself be carried, having no strength to move at all.

Jisung was out of it.

It cost him way too much.

It was way harder to be someone different the more time he spent here.

It was way harder to be someone different in Seoul.

It was too hard to feel unsafe where he usually feels safe.

At the thought, at the idea that he spent his entire day with terrifying thoughts, he couldn't help but nuzzle closer on Minho's chest.

He couldn't help but mentally plead for Minho to held him even more tight, until he was completely plastered to him.

Minho did, as if he was reading his mind.

And when Jisung's back started moving, trembling, Minho realized.


Jisung was crying in his arms.

He was surprised.

As they said, Jisung isn't the crying type.

Seeing him so weak made his heart hurt completely. But he wanted to reassure him.

He passed a hand on his back, caressing it and accompanying the cries.

And the warmth that spread to Jisung's body made him sob harder.


"You're safe now, love" Minho whispered softly "I'm over there, they aren't here anymore"

Jisung knows that.

He feels better now, and he doesn't understand why he is crying so much.

He nodded, but didn't stop crying.

Tears were streaming down his eyes and right to Minho's shirt, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"It's okay" Minho continued, as delicate as possible "You're overwhelmed, crying is okay. Let it all out"

He continued passing a hand on his back, drawing patterns, soothing him.

And Jisung cried more.

But in a way, it was freeing.

He liked the feeling of letting it all out, as Minho said.

He cried more and more, until he completely fell asleep, the exhaustion having the best of him.


He woke up later, still in Minho's arms.

Minho was awake, softly humming as he never stopped caressing his back.

His cries had stopped, and he raised his head to watch Minho.

"Wanna eat something then go back to bed ?" Minho asked softly.

Jisung shook his head, too tired to speak.

"Just a little thing, mmh ? Let's have a snack ?" He insisted.

And Jisung nodded.

They ate some snack, sitting on the couch.

Jisung didn't want to watch a movie, he didn't want to be concentrated.

Minho held his hand throughout it.

As they finished, Jisung walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and Minho followed him to do it as well.

And when Jisung finished, Minho grabbed him by the waist and pulled him closer to the sink.

He rushed to grab a chair, and brought it to the bathroom.

"Sit here, pretty" He said softly.

Confused but too tired to think, he sat, and looked down.

And Minho crouched down in front of him.

For the next minutes, in complete silence, Minho did Jisung some skincare.

He applied the products, and appreciated the way Jisung's face seemed to relax at the textures, at the scents, and at the little massages Minho did.

"Feels good, mmh ?" Minho asked softly.

And Jisung nodded again.



Waking up, Jisung stirred in bed.

And as he moved, he noticed his lover, who was cuddling him, already wide awake.

"Morning" Minho said, looking concerned.

"Morning" Jisung responded, smiling.

At the sound of Jisung's voice, Minho's face relaxed right away.

He leant in to give a kiss on his forehead.

"You okay ?" Jisung asked

"Are you ?" Minho asked instead.

He nodded, smiling.

"Better" He said.

So Minho smiled, feeling more at ease.


"You went mute yesterday" Minho said as he was making coffee.

"Mmh" Jisung nodded, bringing cups to Minho "I'm sorry, I don't know why"

"Please, don't apologize" Minho said, kissing his cheek.

"Thank you for being in such care for me" Jisung added, looking fondly at his lover.

"It's okay" Minho smiled, staring at his eyes as well "I'll be really honest, I was slightly panicked" He chuckled.

"You didn't seem to be" Jisung said, pouting.

"I didn't want to make you feel sorry" Minho chuckled again "I was just scared you would feel so bad you'd stop talking completely. Hearing your voice this morning was reassuring"

Jisung smiled cutely.

"You wanna talk about it ?" Minho asked, caressing his cheek.

"To be honest ... No" He sighed "It was enough of a day ... and you already know how are their dynamic ... It wasn't a good moment, and I'd rather move on"

"Okay" Minho smiled "Then it's forgotten"


In the afternoon, Jisung had brought Seungmin's things back to his dorm.

Minho had insisted on helping him, but Jisung needed to do it by himself. Minho had helped enough.

With this, Jisung spent some hours with Seungmin, helping him put back his decorations and stuff while they discussed lightly.

It might have been the first time he spent alone time with the guy, and he appreciated it.


"You know ..." Jisung started, embrassed "I'm really grateful"

"No need, it's nothing" Seungmin shrugged.

"Um... maybe you should move out of this dorm ..." Jisung warned, uncomfortable that Seungmin could be there in case anything happens.

"I won't, it's okay" Seungmin reassured.

"If anything happens, they'll come for me here ..." Jisung continued.

"But I'm not worried, even if they do come" He insisted "Don't worry and don't feel sorry. As long as you are safe, then it's okay"

Jisung didn't know what he do to deserve such friends.
