Things That Fall | l.mh x h.js

Eyelids

Minho blinks once then he does it again. He turns to look at Felix who's blinking cluelessly at him as well, not completely understanding the reality of the situation. Jyp spits out words he should understand, that sound foreign, as his mind wanders to the only thing he's come to know: Jisung. He's so completely lost in thought over something as minimal as the way Jisung laughs, graphing out the way Jisung's hair moves with Minho's fingers when they card through the multicolored locks effortlessly. He maps out Jisung's moles the way an astronomer would map out constellations, but the difference between the two is that he doesn't need to see Jisung to know how truly ethereal he is (that and the fact that Jisung could outshine any damn star without even trying).

He's brought out of his trance when Jyp mentions that it could end in regret; he's completely lost and Felix looks just as far gone as he is, choosing to look at the picture of him kissing Changbin on his phone. A tinge of jealousy sparks in Minho's gut because he knows he can't have that with Jisung, that Jisung would never look at him as anything but a brother (of course Felix thinks otherwise, but what does he know?).

Jyp stands up and motions for them to follow him; Minho's scrambling to his feet before Jyp can take another step and following him out the door. He steals another glance at Felix, feeling just as confused as Felix looks. His breath hitches when they follow Jyp down the familiar path to a room he knows has seven occupants; he'd watched them walk into the room earlier when he first entered the building.

They listen quietly as they hear Jyp speak lowly to the members, Felix gasping and slapping his hand to his mouth when he hears 'bringing them back'. Felix grabs his arm, tears forming in the corner of his eyes. Minho's entire form freezes, thinking of how he isn't ready to see Jisung again. He's ill prepared and he knows it, knows that he's not ready to look at Jisung, but he walks in when Jyp calls him anyway.

Any breath he had left has been knocked out of him because god he was so right, Jisung looks like the fucking sun,   and he just wants to curl up and die. He turns to look at Felix who doesn't look any better, practically drooling as he stares wide-eyed at Changbin. When he turns back around it's like the air was punched out of him by an airbag; he's gasping for air because he'd made eye contact with Jisung and holy fucking shit, it's Jisung. 

Jyp wastes no time, stating his business and rushing out of the door as quickly as possible, leaving the nine boys to stand silently. Minho's frozen, staring at seven boys when Jisung walks up to Felix and hugs him. Minho immediately makes his way to Changbin, hugging the living daylights out of him as he feels bodies crashing into him left and right. He's hugging the life out of every single member, everyone but Jisung, but when he hears a soft 'Binnie' muttered in a whisper he immediately makes room for a dazed Felix.

His heart flutters when he sees Changbin immediately tear up, grabbing Felix's face and crashing their lips together frantically. Felix is no better, desperately clutching onto Changbin's hair and trying to pull him closer as everyone stands looking at them in awe. Apparently Minho was the only lucky person to know that they've officially started dating, the looks of the other six members with their jaws on the floor confirming his suspicions immediately.

Minho does Jeongin a favor by covering his eyes, the small boy pulling his hand closer making sure they keep themselves closed. The moment's about to be ruined by Chan, words about Jeongin's innocence on the tip of his tongue but Jisung comes out of his trance and looks over to Minho (Minho's heart beating rapidly within the confines of his chest, face heating up slowly) before slapping a hand over Chan's mouth and pointing in Minho's direction.

When Changbin and Felix finally pull away for air the entire room erupts in loud applause, shocking both boys into stunned silence. Minho drops his hand from Jeongin's eyes, smiling fondly at the youngest boy before he suddenly feels a body colliding into his, jumping on him. Although stumbling backwards, he manages to hoist the body (that he now knows belongs to one black hoodie wearing, beanie covered Jisung) up and lets Jisung wrap his own legs around Minho's waist. 

Minho can feel the droplets of tears before he sees them as he turns to be met with a crying Jisung, smile outshining the fluorescent lights inside the cramped practice room. He wipes Jisung's tears away silently, but his breath hitches in his throat when Jisung's hands make their way to the scruff of Minho's neck, looping through his hair with practiced ease. 

Minho's heart is pounding loudly, he can hear it and it's possible that Jisung can hear it loud and clear but he doesn't care. Not when Jisung's peppering kisses all over his face. His eyes are fluttering closed, but he doesn't care. Not when Jisung's taking one of his hands and covering Jeongin's eyes, leaning in and placing a lingering kiss against Minho's chapped lips.

Minho can feel his knees giving out, but he tries to hold on longer because this is Jisung and he can't just fall. Jisung's hand is back in his hair, exposing Jeongin to the 'evil' of kissing. He hears a loud, shrill shriek that he knows doesn't belong to Jeongin and Jisung pulls away quickly, unwrapping his legs from Minho's waist and Jumping down. 

Minho watches as Jisung walks right up to Chan and flicks him on the forehead, turning away and walking back in Minho's direction. Minho's about to speak up, to ask why Jisung's gone and hit the poor leader, but Jisung's hands are back in his hair and he feels his head being pulled downwards. He makes a weird noise, stumbling forward in surprise, when Jisung connects their lips gently. God, he's missed Jisung so damn much.
