F.R.I.E.N.D.S but it's stray kids

the third

So Minho was a part of their dynamic, visiting just as regularly as the rest. Jisung kind of wished he wasn't though. The more often he was over, the more Jisung learned about him, the more his heart race picked up because Lee Minho was actually pretty adorable, even with the title of total playboy.

It was as clear as day that Minho made it his mission to please. Everything he said was charming and fun, a total man's man in the ways of the game. He had Felix eating out of the palm of his hand, even the youngest (Jeongin) privy to his puppy like eyes. Jisung had fallen into his trap too, one too many times to count.

"Sungie! Would you be a doll and make me dinner?" Minho asked from the couch. He was tapping away at his phone without a care in the world. Somehow he had scored an extra key, Hyunjin claiming he wasn't the one who made it for him. He spent more time at the apartment than Hyunjin did sometimes, Jisung coming home to a freshly showered Minho passed out on his couch. Said boy also had a habit of ransacking closets- Jisung's especially. He was dressed in his hoodie even now, all soft and cozy amongst Jisung's other things. How could he not fall for the stupid bean pole.

"I can't I have an essay to finish." He was typing away on the kitchen island, idiotic idea really. He should have holed himself up in his room, but Jisung wanted to steal glances at Minho and now here he was, Minho asking him for things he could do on his own.

"Pwease." The baby voice made Jisung weak and he was this close to caving. (Man he was weak, Minho only had to ask once and he was putty in his hands.)

"I can't. There's bread in the pantry, go ham." Minho was unpleased, leaning over the back of the couch to properly stare at Jisung. He shouldn't have met his eyes. He was pouting, bottom lip jutted out as his eyes plead for food. It was ridiculous, so ridiculous- "What do you want?"

Minho had asked for omurice and Jisung went about making it, only hating himself slightly for giving in so fast. The smile on Minho's face made it worth it and Jisung cursed himself for thinking so. Minho was off limits. He needed to remember that. "You're the best!" Minho complimented, taking a moment to hug Jisung before slinking back onto the couch. Jisung still felt his touch even if was now so far away. He tried not to think too hard about it. "Hey." Jisung looked up at where Minho went back to leaning over the couch. "Are you busy, Friday?" Jisung thought about his schedule.

"Not particularly." He had a class that morning, but nothing was set in stone after that.

"Wanna go somewhere with me?"

"Where?"

"The mall. I need to get a gift for someone, but no one wants to go with me. I hate going shopping alone." It was a rather odd request. He and Minho had their fair share of encounters alone, none of which existing outside these four walls. A part of him assumed Minho was really desperate if he was asking him.

"I guess I can go." Minho smiled brightly at him, blowing him a kiss and telling him he'll meet him here at noon.

Jisung washed the dishes with a smile, Hyunjin asking him why he was so happy to be washing away soy sauce.

Friday came faster than Jisung expected, the teacher dismissing them with a final reminder that exams were starting next week. Jisung felt like he should go home and study, but he glanced at his phone, a notification on his screen reminding him of his plans. He felt stupid for having even set up a reminder, even more so when he tugged at his shirt while he waited for Minho. What was he fussing over? He was just going to the mall.

Seungmin was around, Hyunjin changing into comfier clothes to lounge around in. They didn't seem particularly busy and Jisung questioned why Minho hadn't asked them in the first place. "Going somewhere?" Seungmin asked.
