eight.

chapter eight ; the talk

it was currently 2:49am and mingi could not go to sleep. yunho's last departing words before they went to bed kept running over and over again in his head. out of all words, yunho calls him:

princess.

yes mingi was a guy but he could help but feel his stomach turn to the petname.

what am i? twelve years old? stop acting like a kid mingi.

he tried to distract himself by watching old spongebob episodes or playing on his phone but the older continued to pop in his head ; it was nerve wracking.

as mingi tossed and turned in his bed, his phone buzzed earning a groan from the boy. but that text was something mingi would've never thought he would get.

yunho [2:58 am]
haha you're still up too?

mingi''s eyes widen at the surprise text. he wiped his eyes to make sure he was seeing correctly, and he was. yunho texted him.

me [2:58 am]
yeah...i'm having a hard time sleeping
how did you know i was awake?

yunho [2:59 am]
i can hear you watching spongebob
anddddd the small laughs you made

mingi smacked his head in embarrassment.

why are you always so fucking loud?

mingi texted the older back apologizing for making noise, hoping that he wasn't the one that kept yunho up so late. hopefully he didn't keep the other guys awake as well.

yunho [3:01 am]
no its fine don't worry
it wasn't even that loud
but i have another random question

mingi's heart pounded when he saw his third text. he didn't know what he was so anxious about but it was just his nature when it came to yunho.

yunho [3:02 am]
wanna come to my room and kill some time?

mingi swore he felt his soul leave his body.

———

mingi knocked softly on yunho's bedroom door making sure it wasn't that loud for the others. yunho opened it and pulled mingi inside.

"sorry," yunho began. "i have a hard time sleeping some days and since you were up as well, i kinda figured that we could possibly just talk until one of us passes out."

yunho went back over to his bed while mingi stood up in the middle of the floor awkwardly.

"i'm not gonna bite," he chuckled "come here."

listening to the older, mingi sat down on yunho's bed. he tried his best to make eye contact but he just couldn't so he looked around the room to occupy his eyes.

he then came across a book that was on the night stand.

"you don't seem like the reading type," mingi said breaking the silence.

the older drew his attention to mingi, somewhat confused until he saw what the younger was talking about.

"actually i'm not. that book just interested me more than others. i think you should read it."

mingi humbled to himself thinking of what could pass the time. mingi was sleepy but he didn't want to go to bed just yet so he needed something interesting.

"you know," yunho said cutting off minho's thoughts "i don't know anything about you except your favorite food and all that basic stuff."

"so you're saying you want to get to know me more?" mingi clarified.

"yeah, i guess you can say that. you're really....interesting and i feel more comfortable with you than a lot of my friends and we basically just became friends."

mingi nodded. "well, i may come off as shy to you and some others but i'm actually not," he giggled. "um, what else? i'm very loud and it's hard to wake me up in the morning. i love food and—"

"no. i mean, that's cute to know but no." yunho intruded.

"well what do you want me to say you ding dong?"

"tell me about your life." he stated.

for fifteen minutes mingi and yunho went back and forth about their life. turns out that yunho is single and of course mingi internally screamed after hearing the news. mingi told him about how supportive and kind his family was and how much he missed them. he also brought up his favorite places to go to and what positive memories he had. yunho on the other hand had a very venturous life. yunho travelled a lot with friends and family wherever it was outside of korea or different cities in korea. he also had memories of going bungee jumping with two of his friends, san and wooyoung. basically mingi came to the conclusion that his life was boring compared to yunho's.

"hey don't get sleepy on me," yunho whined. he was laying on his back as mingi laid beside him but on his stomach, looking at the older. mingi was incredibly tired but talking to yunho kept giving him a reason to not fall asleep.

"also, i told you about my love life. why won't you tell me yours?"

mingi shook his head, taking his focus away from yunho's face to places around the room.

"it's complicated but i'm single just like you."

"oh come on, there has to be some girl you got your eyes on," yunho whined. mingi could feel his smile slowly disappearing when yunho said 'girl'.

"no there isn't," mingi boldly stated.

yunho looked at him with a concerned face as he saw minho's expression change up. then yunho came to a question.

"or..." yunho began, bringing his face a little closer to mingi, causing the younger to blush.

"maybe it's not a girl..."
