I'll Protect You || Minsung

Chapter 33

━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━

It was 7 in the morning when Little Jisung woke up. He slowly shifted only to feel Minho's side of the bed empty. He fluttered his eyes and found himself in his room with no one beside him. Usually it was Jisung who would wake up early, earlier than Minho.

Indeed, today was different.

Jisung stood up and walked out of his room and towards the bathroom to freshen up and brush his teeth. As soon as he was finished, he made his way down only to be greeted by sizzling cracklings of fire as if something was being cooked.

Yup.

"Hyungie!" Jisung greeted the older who shortly turned around after his name was heard. "Morning sunshine." Jisung giggled at the nickname.

"Bacon!" Jisung exclaimed as he saw the strips of pork sizzling on the frying pan. "Ah ah! You can't come close to the pan. You might get burned." Minho said as he pulled Jisung away from the stove and in return Jisung lifted himself, getting a piggyback ride from the older.

"Hey," Minho chuckled as Jisung wrapped his legs around the older's waist and arms tightly wrapped on the older male's neck. Jisung giggled. "Hyung should cook and Jisungie just watch." Jisung said. Minho just chuckled and continued with the task he left a while before Jisung came, but this time with Jisung on his back.

Minho made his way towards the refrigerator to fetch some eggs, chuckling noticing the little on his back who was just watching the whole time.

"So you're just going to watch?" Minho asked and he felt the younger nodded. "Mhhm" Jisung hummed in approval. "Like a hanging koala."

"A cute koala." Jisung corrected as he giggled. Minho laughed as he broke the egg on the pan.

Jisung kissed the older's cheeks. "I love you hyung." Jisung whispered and the other male felt weight on his right shoulder. Jisung rested his head on it hoping for an answer.

Minho turned his head to be greeted by Jisung's brown eyes, or would he just say perfect brown ones.

He brought his head towards the younger's and pecked his forehead. "I love you too Jisung."

And that simple kiss, made Jisung's morning the best morning he had. Jisung giggled, feeling a funny tingling in his stomach. Oh, how he loves Minho's I love you's.

The meal was finally cooked and boy, was Jisung starving. Minho set the plates on the table when the doorbell rang.

The two averted their eyes towards the door.

Who could be at this time of hour? I mean its 7 in the morning or anything.

Minho thought. Indeed, it couldn't be Chan and the others because the Haneul Night Party would start at 6pm.

"Who is it hyung?" Jisung asked, a smalll smile visible on his face. "Well, we'll find out. Off we go!" Minho widened his arms to his side and make an airplane engine sound causing the younger to giggle. "This is your captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelt, the plane would take off any minute." Arms still widened at his side, Minho dashed towards the door with a giggling Jisung on his back.

As they reached the door, Minho opened it widely causing the laughing and giggling to faintly fade.

"Oh hey," A girl about Minho's age wearing a slim tank top and high waisted shorts which exposed her milky skinny legs, her toes were shown as she was wearing slippers. Jisung stared at her, frowning when he noticed Minho's breath hitched.

"W-whoㅡ" "I'm Song Im Yun, I live across the street at that apartment and I see you around," She bit her lip as she said her last sentence. She glanced at Jisung with a quite disgusting look before pretending to not notice him compeltely. Jisung frowned and quite loosened his grip from Minho's neck. Minho on the other hand, didn't seem to notice it.

"What's your name cutie?" Jisung widened his eyes as he heard those words. Im Yun was staring right at Minho's eyes as he twirled her hair sexily at the male.

"U-Uh Minho." Minho replied. "Uh can I help you? What brings you here?" He added. She threw a seductive lip bite. "Oh nothing. I just wanna know why you occasionally visit this house. I'm sure I don't see you around much in this neighborhood until now." She said resting her body against the doorway, occasionally running her fingers on her hip while the other hand twirling her long ebony hair. She then brought her right hand and checked at her long nails polished red in color.

Jisung felt heavy on his chest as he watched the two having a conversation especially Minho forgetting about him completely. Not until he felt Minho's hand brushed against his. Jisung watched Minho's hand grabbed tightly at his almost loosened arms and bringing it to securely wrap around his neck like earlier hoping that Jisung would be in comfortable position since Im Yun was too busy occupied at her not-so-good-polished nails. (Let's just stay it like that). The silence was deafening and Im Yun didn't waste any time and instead spoke up.

"You seemed not the kind of relative Jisung would have. I mean all his relatives are old and all." She commented. "How did you know about me?" Jisung faintly asked, fear hint in his voice due to the scary glare Im Yun was giving.

She scoffed. "Everyone in the neighborhood knows about you, dear. The 19 year old highschool student who acts like a kid." She replied, sounding dearingly. Minho's expression quickly changed. Jisung stared at the female, frowning at the comment. "Kidding! Your parents told everyone in the neighborhood about how amazing their kid is, how amazing Jisung is. " she said sarcasm hint in her voice. "But you know sometimes parents lie so," she muttered as she faked a smile.

[Fuck. Men, I kinda hate now my new character. She's hella annoying. Makes me wanna just.. just something bad. Her behaviour is so UGH!!!!]

"But that's not the point. Anyways, Minho right? I think Minho is a hot name. So what's your relationship with...him," She pointed at Jisung as if she wanted to add something but decided to go against it. Probably another mean thing.

[Fuck it. I wanna kill her now. What have I done😣]

"Look, if you don't have any intentions. You may continue on your way." Minho politely asked. "But I wanna stay with you." Im Yun flashed a pout in which was similar as of Jisung's causing the older's breath to hitch and take a step back.

"Hyung," Jisung called anxiously but turned to an inaudible sound. "Please let me stay?" Im Yun asked in a disgustingly cute way.

[Y'know what I mean? Okay I'll stop with this very short A/N moment here.]

Minho nodded absentmindedly. "Great! So tell me," Im Yun exclaimed. "Are you single?"

"I- uhm I," Jisung stared at the stuttering older. He felt something heavier than earlier. He knew the answer and hoped he wouldn't say it. He hoped that he would say otherwise.

Well, hoped.

"Y-Yeah I'm single."

Jisung's heart sank at the reply. He felt sadness and anher swept within him. Jisung finally loosened his grip and threw himself away from the older male. Minho noticed the sudden action and turned around fast.

"Jiㅡ"

Jisung didn't let him finish, instead he dashed upstairs as warm tears flowed down his cheeks.

And the next thing Minho knew, was a loud slam.
