We're like a rose—but you are the thorn.
They walk in silence until Minho broke it.
"Jisung, uhmm... I'm sorry once again for all I've did—"
"Actions speaks louder than words, Minho." Jisung said blankly.
The two arrived at a building near a park. Jisung walked inside and stopped at a wooden door.
He opened it with his key then removed his shoe and stock it on one of the shelf beside the door. Minho, being the guest, he copied Jisung's every move.
"Let's eat." Jisung opened his cupboard and fetched 2 packs of Instant noodles.
"I'm not hungry." Minho mumbled.
"I didn't ask you if you were. I'll prepare the food. You can wash up if you want, the bathroom is at the left of the hallway." He instructed.
"Ahm...yeah, okay." Minho scratched his scalp. He opened his bag and dug to find some clothes. He froze when he realized there's something missing.
His underwear.
"Uhm J-jisung?" Minho whispered.
"mhm?" Jisung hummed as he cook the food.
"I may or may not forgot to bring my undies hehe" Minho whispered again.
Jisung glanced at him then went to his room. After a minute, Jisung went out of his room with a box Calvin Klein briefs and a dark blue boxer.
"Here." Jisung threw it on Minho then went to his previous task.
Minho awkwardly picked up the clothes then walked towards the bathroom.

Minho cameback from the bathroom wearing a white loose shirt and the boxer short jisung lend.
Jisung glanced at him. Automatically blushed like a tomato. He also avoided to look at the other's beautiful legs. He gulped as he placed the bowl of instant noodle on the kitchen island.
"L-let's eat." Jisung invited.
Minho just nodded in response as he took sit on the stool across Jisung's.
The time they've spend together was merely out of mean things and has a hidden motif beneath it. All minho's fault.
Jisung's anger and love he felt for minho before was ineffable in every way. It's too deep because it's all his first. He was his first love and the first person he hated. But chronologically thinking, it was two years past now, Jisung wasn't the same sensitive boy. He's now more mature and brave. He learned to forgive and understands. All applicable to one person, Lee Minho.
"Y'know...I forgave you already after a year it happened." Jisung said calmly as he slurp on his noodles.
The Ravenette brushed his bangs up then eyed the younger with a disbelief look.
"You probably thinks that I'm just saying this to get rid of you right?" Jisung placed his chopsticks down then put his elbow on the table and clasped his hands.
"Y'know minho, people do change. Take me as an epitome of that. Do you think I only changed physically? Nah. I did hate you, yes, but I've matured. Matured enough to deal with the reality that shits happens. Matured enough to forgive those people who caused me bad." Jisung explained. "And when I saw you after two years, you reminded me of my immature self. What an ugly view I must say, not physically though. I've always thought that I'm cute with or without fats.—That's why I acted like jerk and say some mean things"
Jisung just giggled at himself.
"You're talking like an old man y'know that." Minho laughed.
The older male leaned backwards and crossed his arms. He inhaled some air then rested his elbows on the table then rested his chin on his palms.
"With you saying that, it made you 10 times more attractive."
Jisung just glared at the older.
"Now that I think of it, you're capable of doing those kind of things. I mean you're capable of anything, really." Minho confessed. "Too bad I was too dumb back then to realize your worth and beauty."
"I wasn't gonna say sorry since you don't want me to, instead I'll say thank you for the forgiveness and acceptance. You really are mature." Minho flashed a sweet smile then just stared at the younger.
"Damn, I was so fool to let you go" He added suddenly.
Jisung was shocked. He splurged the sauce from his mouth on minho's face.
"Oh sorry!—don't say things like that!" The blonde informed while handling the napkin to minho.
"Why though? It's true. I just realized it when I saw you last day." Minho wiped his face with the napkin.
"Blah blah too bad, you're a big 'X' to me." The younger said while crossing his arms.
"I knew that already, that's why I've decided to court you. Properly, this time." Jisung's jaw dropped at minho's remarks. He closed it and gulped, feeling his throat getting dry because of the tension. He hold his tummy to feel it since he felt something funny in it.
"Well I can see your point, since no one can resist my charm" He flipped his imaginary hair then giggled.
"Yeah, was it considered a love at first sight when I saw you at the cafeteria again? I mean technically it wasn't since I saw you bunch of times before but it was different when I saw you last day. I felt like I was hit by a train. I don't know, I'm not used to this kind of feelings." Minho explained.
"You're very vocal about your feelings. I wonder if they're true." Jisung whispered the last part.
"Anyways Minho, you should mature too." Minho titled his head holding a confused look on his face.
"Maturity is different from endurance. I'm talking about that cut on your face."
