Why So Lonely? || Minsung 1/3 ✔️

91

"Angel," someone calls, startling a groan out of me. My head was pounding.

"Baby, you gotta wake up so you can eat. Your mom told me you slept the entire day."

I shake my head, grabbing my blanket and rolling myself in it. I hid my face, embarrassed of the incident this morning.

"The guys are coming here, too. Oh, besides Chan; he had work," Minho continues to persuade.

"I'm sorry."

"Wha-? Jisung, you don't have to be sorry. You've been so stressed, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Please, come down so I don't have to get your mom."

I throw the blanket down and sit up with a huff, "fine."

"Ah ah, don't get an attitude with me. Come on," he teases, brushing away hair from my face.

"I'll take a shower and then I'll be down," I mutter, just wanting to sleep forever, which is surprising.

Getting out of the bed, I go to move around him to get to the bathroom, but he steps in my way.

"Look at me," he demands in a soft voice. I do as he says, making eye contact. "It's not your fault. It's okay, angel. C'mere."

He embraces me, putting his arms around my shoulders. He kisses my neck in a gentle, comforting way. I relax under his warmth, my grasp loosening.

"I don't know how to live anymore, Min," I admit, blinking slowly. "I'm so tired."

"I know." When he sighs, his warm breath tickles the hair on the hollow of my neck. "I wish I could take all of your pain away. I'd rather have a life full of all your pain if that meant you were happy."

I shake my head, "it's fine, my life. I am happy. With you. With the guys. It's just overwhelming right now."

"I'm glad that I can make you happy. I hate seeing you so... ready to quit."

I hum, thinking about how much this is also effecting him. He's always taking care of me, making sure I'm okay.

"Are you okay?"

He pulls out of the embrace, putting his eyebrows together and locking our eyes.
"Am I okay?"

I nod, knowing it was rather odd for me to be asking that, but his health is important too.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Good," I smile, leaning forward and capturing his lips in mine - only for a quick second. Then I pull away.

"I love you, Lee Minho." I grasp his hands, playing with his fingers and feelings the softness of his warm palms.

"I love you, too, Han Jisung," he grins, kissing my cheek. "Let's get you something to eat. You can shower later."

"Han Jisung and Lee Minho, I thought I told you boys- oh," my mom busts into my room, stopping in her tracks. Our hands immediately drop, both of us looking away shyly from each other.

"Sorry Mrs.Han, I came up here to get him and we got sidetracked," Minho blushes, his ears blooming red.

She chuckles lightly, her eyes pulling into a smile, "it's alright, Minho. Just be down soon." Then she turns and leaves us to ourselves.

Both of us laugh, embarrassed by what had just happened. Minho scratches the back of his neck, glancing at me with amusement.

My prince.
