I hate you!; Minsung skz

✮*･Thirty-Two･* ✮

That day at lunch Jisung opted for sitting beside Jeongin. He could see Chan about to complain and tell him to sit beside Minho, but the realisation that the plan was over seems to stop him. But this doesn't stop Jeongin from trying to force him to move.

"Stop it" Jisung hisses, grabbing the younger boys hands to prevent being pushed off the seat.

"But hyung-"

"Since when did you two become so close?" Hyunjin asks from the opposite side of the table, eyeing the way Jisung had a tight grip on Jeongin's wrists.

His eyes widen a little but he forces a smile to his face "we've always been close" Jisung laughs "isn't that right Jeongin?" He nudges his side which causes the younger to let out a yelp but he nods nonetheless.

Hyunjin narrows his eyes a little, nodding over to his left. Jisung looks in the direction, noting the uncomfortable look on Minho's face. This makes him instantly let go of Jeongin.
The last thing he needed was another lecture from Hyunjin about him 'leading Minho on'. If anything he was putting Minho off him completely.

Jisung sighs and excuses himself from the table, getting up and wandering off. He couldn't understand why he couldn't just tell Minho how he felt. He didn't fear the rejection, but in a weird twisted way he was too proud to admit that he did in fact have a crush on Minho.

They had spent so long hating each other and the thought of them finally getting along and falling right into their friends hands seemed to bruise his pride.

After wandering around the school for a while, he soon settles on sitting at the top of the steps outside. Just like all the other times he had come to sit here, it was quiet. It was a little more cold today but he didn't mind much. Whenever he felt the bitterness of the wind he would pull his hoodie over his hands, clinging to a little more warmth.

"Hey" a voice says as someone sits down beside him. It was the same someone that had Jisung in this state.

"Go away" he mutters but Minho doesn't listen or make any move to get up and leave. Instead he makes himself a little more comfortable.

"Jeongin said I should check on you" he says which earns a bitter laugh from Jisung.

"Of course he did" it didn't surprise him that Jeongin would send Minho of all people. Was this another hint that he should get the confession over with? Probably.

"What's wrong?" He asks, keeping a respectable distance from Jisung "we're friends right? You know you can talk to me if there's something on your mind".

At this point Jisung was silently praying for Minho to stop talking. The fact he was being so kind was making it way more difficult for Jisung to say something mean "I've just got some things on my mind, Jeongin has been helping me figure a few things out, that's all" he shrugs, hugging his knees, staring over at where Minho sat, looking out over the school grounds.

The elder only nods in understanding, offering a kind smile. "Well I hope you figure them out" he says, standing from the step and going to leave.

Before Jisung could even think about what he was doing, he had jumped to his feet, grabbing ahold of Minho's hand. "I'm sorry" he says quietly, quickly letting go of Minho's hand and shoving it into his hoodie pocket.

Minho doesn't answer straight away but he doesn't make any move to walk off. "So now you wanna be nice to me?"

Jisung cringes at his words but he knew he deserved it. He hadn't exactly been treating Minho nicely. "Look I'm sorry, okay? I just- I um..." he takes in a deep breath, looking at Minho who nodded for him to continue "I need to talk to you"

Minho only nods and Jisung leads him back towards the steps. Was Jisung actually doing this? Yes.

"What did you wanna talk about?" Minho eventually asks when Jisung had zoned out, his mind yet again thinking of all the things that could go wrong. He didn't even know how he was supposed to start or what to say.

Does he just straight up say 'I like you' or does he ease his way into the conversation and eventually work his way up to saying it.

"Jisung?" Minho repeats, shaking the younger boy by his shoulders a little to get his attention.

Jisung laughs nervously, quickly apologising for continuously zoning out. "W-well you see- the thing is um..." he curses under his breath at how nervous he sounded. Even Minho wasn't this nervous when admitting he had a crush on Jisung.
He tries his best to calm himself down.

"Jisung just say what you need to say" Minho rests a hand on his shoulder, rubbing his thumb over Jisung's upper arm.

The younger freezes under Minho's touch, looking up at him with wide eyes. "Well the thing is I..." his voice trails off, not being able to form the words he wanted. He groans a little in frustration and leans forward, capturing Minho's lips with his own.

Almost instantly Minho had cupped Jisung's face, pulling him closer as their lips move in sync. This seemed way easier than having to say it.

Unlike the last kiss, this one was far more gentle and Jisung could pretty much feel himself melting in Minho's touch. He moved his hands up to hold Minho's wrists, pulling him even closer. He just wanted to savour this moment for a little longer.

After a few seconds Jisung pulls away, a faint smile on his lips "I like you" he breathes "a lot".
