"I've been expecting you," Jisung smiled happily and tried to squirm out of Minho's arms. "I didn't think ladders were that unstable, to be very honest."

Minho laughed, gently placing the younger on the wooden bench next to them. "You seem quite cheerful today," he observed. "Why were you on the ladder in the first place?"

"Oh, no reason, really," Jisung said with a shrug. "I thought it would be fun to see if I could peep through Felix' window, it's the least I could do after ignoring him. Also, I wanted to check on Charleston, but my balcony has been a no-go zone."

"You're one of a kind," Minho said, hiding a laugh. He meant it in the best way.

"True, but I have something planned for today," Jisung said, grin stretching out even further, "we're going to an animal adoption centre!" he exclaimed excitedly, "and maybe getting our hair dyed," he added under his breath.

"What about your job or college?" Minho asked, purposely ignoring the last part.

He'd been going strong raven for a long time. It had become a personality trait by now. If he didn't know his past, he was at least going to keep a part of it intact. Besides, he wasn't going to let his virgin hair get touched up by chemicals.

"I called in sick for work, because I think I deserve a break after what happened last night," Jisung explained quickly trying his best not to show how scared he had become to be alone, though he wasn't ever really alone because there was probably a demon roaming his house. "Also, college is a little dead right now. I've been having to teach kids basic music. Singing nursery rhymes and clapping rhythms and all that. It's Sunday, so schools are closed."

"Okay," Minho replied. Jisung sighed in relief when he saw how the other was completely clueless. "What are we waiting for? I wanna cuddle some cats." He beamed, looking at his feet shyly.

Jisung wanted to scream at the adorable action, but that would scare him away and that didn't fit in his schedule today. He grabbed the elder's hand and smiled. "I'll lead the way."

Minho's eyes widened at the bold move and a red tint dusted his cheeks and ears. "I trust you," he replied softly, the words feeling unfamiliar on his tongue.

He'd never even told Chan, his closest friend for over a century, that he trusted him. What was so different about this impulsive dork he'd met just recently?

"I'm guessing we won't be back for the whole day," Minho assumed.

"You are correct," Jisung confirmed with a nod. A panicked look then struck his face. "Wait, is that a problem for you? I'm sorry, I should've taken your agenda into consideration-"

"It's fine, I'll just arrange something," Minho interrupted Jisung's rant and clumsily pulled out his phone to text his secretary. He refused to break their intertwined fingers.

Minho sniggered to himself softly. Seungmin was going to end him. He could faintly hear an enraged scream coming from the building. It was becoming a game to him now; how far could he go before his neck got snapped.

"There, all done."

Jisung, however, wasn't exactly convinced yet. "You really don't have to force yourself to go with me," he mumbled.

"Nope," Minho refused and stubbornly grabbed his hand again, "I will see those kittens and nobody's stopping me."

Jisung's lips formed a secret smile, like he didn't want the world to see it. He didn't say anything, looking Minho in the eyes with a silent question.
