Then There's Us. [ Hyunsung ]

28

When Jisung arrived at Felix's house some of his friends were already there including his older friends but neither Jeongin nor Hyunjin was there. He was told that both of them hadn't gotten off work yet and so, they will be coming later.

Jisung handed his gift to Felix and the small corgi jumped into him as soon as it sw the orange coloured cushion. Meanwhile Felix was playing with Orange, Jisung went to the kitchen to grab a drink. He leaned against the kitchen counter and tapped his cup of water with his index finger,a suspicious glint in his eyes as he thought of Hyunjin working at IKEA. Well, it wasn't weird that Hyunjin was working but how come he never mentioned it to Jisung?

Jisung bit his nail and pplaced his cup on the counter. "Did he forget to tell me?" Jisung shook his head, slapping his cheeks and his expression suddenly turned grim. "right...why would he tell me anything. It's not like we are dating or anything."

"Who's dating who or anything?" Jisung shoulder tensed as he turned around. He shot Minho a friendly smile, combing his fingers through his hair. "Nobody! It's nobody...I was just talking to myself" His voice grew smaller towards the end of his words as he bit his lower lips. He started becoming fidgety when Minho stood next to him, hands shoved into his pocket.  "just talking to yourself...huh?" Minho nodded, trying to understand.

"if you're just talking to yourself and it's about nobody then why do you look so upset?" Jisung raised his eyebrows before cupping his face, he looked at the mirror inside the kitchen and pinched his cheeks. "me? I look upset? I don't though" He looked up to Minho who had leaned closer to him, Jisung pulled his neck back. "This...this frown makes you look upset" Minho pressed his index finger on the middle of Jisung's eyebrows. "It's Hyunjin ,isn't it?"

Jisung took a few steps aside from Minho. Sure, Minho was his friend but he didn't like how close he was to Minho. The only person he had ever let into his little space was Hyunjin. "How do you know?" Jisung didn't want to play hide and seek with Minho. The older would know that he was lying anyway. Minho was a sharp person although he acted whimsical all the time. 

"Well, I haven't know him long but I was his first friend at school and I could tell that he is a bit dumb"Jisung laughed and went along with Minho's joke. "Please give him some credit. He had been acting a bit brighter now that he is a highschool senior"

Minho patted Jisung's shoulder. "Anyway, you don't have to worry about Hyunjin too much. He is dumb and a bit slow but he will eventually get there and instead of making a move on your own, why don't you wait while standing next to him?"

Jisung tilted his head, not quite understanding what Minho meant. The older grabbed a cup and poured himself some water. "What I mean is. You might have your own plan and he doesn't cooperate with you but what if he has his own plan?" Jisung's eyes brightened up and nodded. "Is that really it?" Minho shurgged his shoulder. "Well, I can't be 100% sure but I said what I said"

Jisung washed his cup and smiled at Minho. "Thanks for the advice. I will wait next to him...afterall, he did so much for me. The least thing I could do is to wait for him, right?" Minho gave him a thumbs up before Jisung left. Right before he exited the kitchen, Minho sighed "and for sure...he is much better than me" Jisung turned around, raising an eyebrow. "did you say something?" Minho shook his head and laughed. "Just...Just talking to myself" Jisung squinted his eyes but eventually shrugged it off when he could see no emotion on Minho's face.

"Hyunjin and Jeongin is here!" Felix yelled as he picked up Orange to greet the two latecomers or should he say to attack them. Hyunjin laughed when he saw the small corgi jumping into Jeongin's hands. The small dog reminded him of his small dog. "Are you thinking of KKami?" Hyunjin flinched when Jisung appeared next to him. A small smile grew on his face before wrapping his arm around Jisung's shoulder. The shorter male relaxed into his chest. "Yeah but KKami is probably watching TV with my mom now"

Jisung pulled himself away and looked at Hyunjin, "KKami watch the TV? A dog is?" Hyunjin laughed, pulling Jisung once again into his embrace. "Why? Is it that weird for a dog to watch a TV?" Jisung Shook his head. In fact he thought it was a bit cute. He suddenly thought of Hyunjin cuddling with Kkami when he was in middle school. "Did you..." Hyunjin hummed. "Did you use to watch TV with Kkami after school when those students beaten you up?" 

There was a long silence before Hyunjin answered him, "yeah but that was a long time ago" Jisung felt guilty again but it quickly went away when Hyunjin started caressing his head. "but...don't you have any question?" He asked Jisung, the younger shaking his head. "ask about what?"

"why I work at IKEA?" Hyunjin asked laughing. "You must have your reasons but what kind of right do I have to know why, right? Hynjin was about to realitate back but Jisung shut his mouth, pressing his palm on Hyunjin's lips. "Enough. store whatever you have to say for later. You don't have to explain everything to me,alright?"

"I will wait"

Then Jisung proceed to snuggle closer to Hyunjin. The taller just blinked his eyes in confusion, looking at Minho who was standing next to Chan-- a genuine smile on his face.

Instead of a party, the small gathering ended up as a sleepover. All of them had called home to inform their parents of the unplanned sleepover. Hyunjin had texted both his parents and both Jisung's parents.

The younger had been long gone, asleep in Hyunjin's hold. Jisung's chubby cheek was pressed against the other's chest which Hyunjin found extremely adorable. He stared at Jisung with such a lovestruck gaze, it would be hard to say he didn't like Jisung.

He wrapped his hands around Jisung's shoulder and legs before lifting him up. He thanked himself for always working out, Jisung was still a man after all. With his muscle and all, it wasn't easy to carry a man but Jisung was surprisingly weightless.

He climbed the stairs, passing by his friends that were asleep at the living room. He wouldn't want Jisung to sleep in a room filled with snoring men, would he? And he was sure Felix wouldn't mind them using his spare room, completely forgetting their agreement on not to use the guest room to be fair.

He tugged Jisung into the bed, pushing a strain of hair behind his ear before he pressed his lips on Jisung's forehead.

He stared at Jisung for the longest of time, taking in just how beautiful the younger was. "You're beautiful" the words escapes his mouth, he quickly covered his mouth whole taking a few step back. He cleared his throat and quickly grabbed a blanket inside a wardrobe.

He went down, not wanting to be in the same room as Jisung, afraid the other would be uncomfortable once he wake up and saw Hyunjin in the same room.

Hyunjin was grateful that his friends were already asleep because he didn't know if he could hide his blush.

His back was pressed against the soft sofa as he placed one hand behind his head, staring at the ceiling. What do I do? I think...I don't like him anymore.

"I love him" Hyunjin widened his eyes and covered his mouth again. He couldn't believe was he was saying. It might be too early to say that but seriously adore Jisung. He loved him.
