Chapter 8 - Drunk

Jisung stood in front of the door, not sure if it was the right address. He looked at his notebook again, checking if he was in the right door.

Crystal apartment - Floor 4 Room 413

He looked up to see the door's number. Yup, it was room 413 and he's at Crystal Apartment. This must be the right address. Jisung took a deep breath and sharply exhaled.

Why is my heart beating so fast? Jisung asked himself as he puts his hand to his chest. He clutched the fabric of his clothes and put his other hand on the doorknob, realizing that the door was slightly open. He slowly pushed the door open and puts his head into the gap. 

"E-excuse m-me." Jisung stuttered. 

"WHO'S THERE?!" A yell came from inside, he knew it was Minho's voice. 

Jisung rushed inside, he kicked his shoes off and ran inside. Minho was on the floor with a bottle of soju on his hand. Actually, there were more soju bottles on the floor. His room was super messy. His sink was filled with unwashed dishes, the couch was full of cat fur. 

"Minho Hyung. Are you okay?" Jisung spoke clearly. It was his first time he could speak without stuttering. He knelt down to Minho.

Minho's head shot up, his left eye was closed and the other was barely open. "Huh?" He pointed at Jisung. "Who the fuck are you?!"

"I-it's me, J-Jisung. I n-need y-your help w-with m-my homework." Jisung started to stutter again. He grabbed Minho's arm and looped it around his neck. He pulled Minho up and started walking to the bathroom. 

"Ah, fuck. Am I really the only person in this world who can help you do your fucking homework?!" Minho lazily yelled. "Doongi! Attack!"

His cat, Doongi, meowed.

"Good boy!" Minho yelled again. He then started hitting Jisung's arm that was holding him up. "Hey! Let me go, bitch!"

Once they were at the bathroom, he puts Minho down inside the bathtub. Minho stayed there. Jisung then turned on the shower, making Minho move around and muffling weird noises. Jisung turned off the shower, and Minho was conscious now. Minho scanned the younger from head to toe with a confused face on. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Jisung again.

"Jisung?" He asked. "How did you get in here?"

"Help me with my homework. Please." Jisung said, clearly.

Minho was shocked. He never heard Jisung's voice before. He stood there with his eyes wide open, staring deeply into the younger's eyes.

"C-can you?" A shy look appeared on Jisung's face. "I-I'm s-so sorry. Is it b-better if I d-don't s-speak?"

"Huh?" Minho blurted. "N-no! It's fine! It's just that it's my first time hearing you speak."

Jisung chuckled. "I'm a normal human being, of course I can speak."
