The heart and blood.
"Finally! You called!"
Jisung was shookt of the other's mood when he answered. He thought he's just pretending over texts but he's wrong.
"Hello? Jiji? Are you still there?" Minho worriedly asked, Jisung didn't missed the sad tone on his voice, too.
"ah, yes I'm still here." The blonde answered with a hoarse voice.
"Gosh you sounded so hot there, can you talk more?" Minho said in the other line.
"WHAT!? You better cut me off from that shit Lee Minho!" Jisung panicked. He's blushing extremely he thanked it was just a phone call so Minho doesn't see his face.
"Sorry hehe, it's true though. Anyways what's the problem?" the other asked seriously.
"Ah yes about that... can you help me making Lix's and I's project?" He asked.
"Why? Where's felix?"
"He went home already since I was just spacing out—then we split our work." He explained softly.
"Why were you spacing out?"
Jisung's ear tingled because of the constant questions the Ravenette's throwing at him, can he just come over then work on it? IT'S HIS FAULT AT THE FIRST PLACE!.
"BECAUSE OF YOU DUMBASS! JUST TELL ME IF YOU'RE WILLING TO HELP OR NOT! " Jisung yelled annoyingly he doesn't know why but he felt mad over this pretty boy.
"W-what did you just say?—"
Jisung groaned loudly while slamming the towel on the floor.
"ARGH! SAYONARA ASSHOLE!"
He ended the call. The blonde slumped his body on the couch, letting it to melt on it's comfort—not until the door bursted out with a panting Minho.
"WHAT!?— Ugh nevermind the materials are at the table" Jisung deadpanned.
"Why are you even panting? did you run a marathon?"
"Y-yes actually. More importantly, you said that you were spacing out because of me. Were you thinking of me? Were you? You did, right? right? Say yes please?" Minho happily asked with cute puppy eyes.
Jisung swallowed a lump on his throat. He didn't realized the words that he dropped earlier not until he was reminded of it. Right now, he just wanna choke himself with the clay and die.
"Ahmm....yes." Jisung sighed and curled up into a ball.
"I KNEW IT!" Minho raised his fist in the air while hopping a little.
"Uhm...do you like me now?" Minho fidget his fingers while looking down on his feet.
This caught Jisung off guard, his heart was singing Yes or Yes but his mind was singing Let's kill this love.
"About that...I don't know if you're serious but if you are, I wanna say I'm on the process of sorting out my feelings—" Jisung was cut off by minho who hugged him.
"It's okay— I can wait, I will wait." Minho murmured on the blonde's shoulder. "And I'm serious about this whole thing. Dead serious."
Minho pulled away then walked towards the table where the paper bag that he assumes that contains the project materials.
"Anyways, Jiji what are we gonna supposed to make?" Minho inquired.
Minho saw Jisung was still spacing out while staring at him. He snapped him out of it by capturing a picture of him. Purposely turning on the flash.
Jisung blinked then realized what just happened, "W-what?? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!? DELETE THAT!"
"You were spacing out!'' Minho said while laughing. "I was asking what's the plan with this stuff."
"Ahh" Jisung turned on his phone and showed it to minho while taking his seat across minho's position. "we'll make a model of the heart out of this clay."
"Okay." Minho nodded as he unpacked a red colored clay and pinched some of it. He formed a small "shape" heart (♥️—A/N.🙄)
"Not like that! Jeez Why did I even called you" Jisung deadpanned. "We'll make a actual heart—the actual organ."
Minho laughed hard which Jisung found adorable. "I know, I know. I'm just messing with you since you're so deep in your thoughts—don't rush, I'm gonna wait you have plenty of time."
The blonde nodded then blushed. "How can you say that so casually" He whispered under his breath making sure Minho didn't hear it.
"What was that?"
"I said let's start working."
After an hour of rolling and molding, Minho heard a soft snores coming from Jisung who's resting his head on his arm on the table.
"Aish this boy—" He was about to stood up to carry Jisung and transfer him on his bed when Jisung talked in his sleep.
"Min...min...Stop making my heart flutter you asshole" Jisung murmured, he even did a small chew after it.
Minho just smiled at him while placing a peck on Jisung's exposed cheeks.
He mumbled a soft "thank you".
He carried Jisung to his bed and tucked him under the blanket. Minho didn't even bothered setting Jisung's alarm since it Saturday tomorrow. He giggled on how heavy sleeper Jisung was.
He turned off the lights on Jisung's room then goes back on finishing the project.
It's Saturday tomorrow so why do he have to finish his project now? But knowing Jisung, he might have some plans coming this weekend so he 'tried' to finish it. Well, Minho did finished it.
With his creative mind, Minho made a slime out of glue, vinegar, and food color. He mixed it and turned into a soft red slime.
Minho molded the heart properly smoothing every inch of it. He didn't miss expanding the hallow. He put the parts all together and sprayed it with a hardening substance then polished it. He settled it first then when he's sure it was hard enough, He stuffed the red slime inside through the right artery. He capped the "blood vessels" of the model with a new clay to prevent the slime from leaking. A model of the heart with an artificial blood.
He placed the final product on the table, smiling in satisfaction.
He stared at it and realized how whipped he was for the younger. He smiled in contentment. He can't help but to compare them both to the artificial heart.
The heart is hallow, nothing but a muscle who's functioning involuntarily.
Just like the heart, they're boring. Waking up to do the same task everyday.
Just like the heart they're hallow. Just like the heart, they're empty.
Funny thing was, they're hallow but holds a great emotion. For each other, at least.
He treated themselves as the blood who's filling the heart. Just like them to each other. The blood was the reason for their existence.
Being each other's blood, he'll be happy. Wether they are in relationship or not.
Being each other's blood. Just like soulmates. A match made in heaven. Just like Minho and Jisung.
