thirty one

jisung woke up the next morning, and with a whine looked to his side, seeing minho laying next to him on his side, looking at jisung with the fondness eyes and smile.

"good morning sleepyhead."
minho whispered, putting a hand on jisung's cheek and bringing him closer, kissing his forehead.
"how did you sleep?"

"good."
jisung said.
"what time is it?"

"I don't know, I was too distracted with your beautiful face that I didn't thought about checking."
minho said, earning a smack on the shoulder from jisung.

with a small chuckle, jisung rolled over to the nightstand and took his phone, checking the time.
"it's ten thirty."

"which means that it's still early."
minho said, putting his hands around jisung's waist and pulling him closer to himself.
"let me hold you for a bit longer."

jisung smiled, resting his head against minho's chest, breathing in the familiar comforting smell.

minho wrapped his arms around him, laying his head on top of jisung's.

for a while, just a comfortable silence was surrounding them, both of them enjoying this moment to the fullest.

"sweetheart?"
minho suddenly said, getting jisung's attention.

"mhm?"
jisung opened his eyes.

"I...I wanna ask you something."

"go ahead."

"why did you start crying in the bathtub yesterday?"
minho asked.

jisung sighed.

"you don't have to answer if you don't want to of course, I'm not making you, it's just that...I'm worried I did something wrong-"

"no minho."
jisung immediately cut him off, kissing his chest.
"you did absolutely nothing wrong."

"then...what happened?"
minho was confused.
"like I said, you don't have to-"

"I remembered hyunjin."
jisung said, sitting up, making minho look at him.

"hyunjin?"
minho was still confused.

jisung nodded.
"I...when it came to sex, hyunjin wasn't exactly...how should I say it, considering. for him, sex was a quick pleasure. he didn't really care if I was enjoying it, or if I was okay. he was the priority. a lot of times, he guilt tripped me into sleeping with him, even when I didn't want to at the start. I'm pretty sure he had sex with me when I was sleeping a couple of times-"

"jisung...that's literally rape."
minho said, his eyes wide.

"it's not. my body belonged to him. he could have done whatever he wanted with me. that's what a good boyfriend does."
jisung said, as if it was the most normal thing.

minho was horrified.
"baby, that's not how this works. your body is your body, and no one owns your body, only you. he had no right to have sex with you when you were asleep, because you didn't give him the permission. you didn't have the chance to say no. never, and I mean NEVER, think that you have to give someone your body just to be a good boyfriend. a good boyfriend is someone who loves you. someone who you trust with your life. someone who will hold you when you cry, and support you on your darkest times. that's what a good boyfriend does. sex is not a need."
he said, putting his hand on jisung's thigh, lightly caressing it.
fuck, what did hyunjin do to him?
"how...how do you know he slept with you when you were asleep?"

"well, when you wake up with a literal cum dripping out of you, I think you know."
jisung said.

"wait...what about aftercare?"
minho asked, putting his hand on jisung's waist.

"what is that?"
jisung asked, confused.

minho's eyes widened.
"that's what I did to you yesterday. you make sure that your partner is okay, clean them, stay with them, and take care of them. hyunjin didn't do this?"

jisung just looked at minho, not a single word exiting his mouth.

minho sighed, closing his eyes.
he was so close to crying.
if he had known what was hyunjin doing to jisung, he would have got him out of there AGES ago.
"sweetheart, please, try and forget everything that hyunjin planted in your head. what he was saying were manipulative lies. do not, under any circumstances, think that you have to do ANYTHING that hyunjin told you to be a good boyfriend. you're already the best boyfriend I could ever ask for, and nothing can change that, okay?"
minho said, his eyes a bit teary, as he himself sat up, putting his hand on jisung's cheek and bringing him closer, kissing his forehead.

jisung had tears in his eyes as he pulled away.
minho wrapped his arms around him, holding him close to himself.

"baby, does hyunjin's apartment have cameras inside?"
minho asked.

"why?"
jisung asked, confused.

"because if there were, there is a chance that it caught what he did to you, and we could send him behind bars. I know that you don't think so, but what he did to you is considered rape."
minho said, gently caressing jisung's arm.

"I was...actually raped?"
jisung still looked like he couldn't quite process that information.

because if minho was actually telling the truth, then he has been raped more then ten times.
and these were the cases he actually knew of, because he would either wake up with cum dripping out of him, or he had trouble walking the next day.

"I'm so sorry my love."
minho whispered, tightening his hold on jisung.

fuck, minho felt so guilty.
he knew that it wasn't his fault, and he couldn't do anything about it, because he had no idea how hyunjin was treating jisung, but he couldn't help it.
jisung had spend three years with hyunjin.
three years...
what more things he had to go trough?

"I promise you that I will cherish you until the day I take my last breath."
minho whispered into jisung's ear.

and that was just jisung's final straw.
he started sobbing, suddenly feeling so overwhelmed with everything.

minho held him close, his own eyes producing tears.
but he meant every single word he said.
he would never let anyone hurt jisung ever again.
never.
