Skaterboy ~ Minsung

-41-

Minho woke up to his kitten softly licking his cheek while meowing. The latter smiled and gave the little creature a kiss on her chest, before reaching out to pet her.

He could hear voices from downstairs, reminding him that the person he hated once again lived with them.

"Come on Soonie, Daddy's-... I mean, let's go downstairs." Minho smiled sadly, bringing the kitten down.

Soonie went along with it, used to Minho picking her up and dragging her around like she was his child.

Felix and Jisung were sitting on the couch when Minho came downstairs. The latter glanced in their direction, quickly moving into the kitchen. Minho grabbed Soonie's food bowl and a pack of food for her, before turning around to head back up to his room.

Mrs. Lee grabbed Minho's arm just as he was about to exit the kitchen. Minho could see Jisung from his position, and he was certain Jisung had seen him too but was ignoring him. It was painfully obvious by his fake smile and downwards cast eyes.

"Be nice." Mrs. Lee strictly said, letting Minho go with a warning look.

"I am nice." Minho hissed, walking back upstairs quickly.

Once safely back in his room, Minho put Soonie down and let her roam on the floor while he set up her food. The kitten quickly found her favorite beanie, playing around with it.

"Shoot, I forgot your water. I'll be right back, baby." Minho kissed Soonie, watching her eat her food happily.

Minho opened his door, smiling softly as he watched his baby eat, but soon froze as he made eye contact with Jisung whom stood at the top of the stairwell, looking at Minho with slightly wide eyes.

Minho looked across Jisung's figure hating what he saw. His once healthy and happy Jisung looked so sick. And it was only his fault.

"H-Hey." Jisung awkwardly stuttered, looking away.

Minho breathed out a scoff, biting his lip.

"I still hate you." The elder silently growled.

Jisung gulped.

"I know."

Minho tried to meet Jisung's eyes, but they were like glued to the floor as Jisung opened and closed his mouth, trying to find the right words.

Minho blinked away his tears, cursing silently.

"I hate you so much!"

The elder threw himself at the other, hugging the slightly shorter boy tightly. Jisung wrapped both arms tightly around Minho as well, sniffling.

Minho was just as warm and safe to hug as the first time. A second ago Jisung was certain Minho would try to strangle him in his sleep, but now - no matter how many time Minho told him he hated Jisung - the latter still believed there might still be a chance for them. Tears spilled out of Jisung's eyes as he tightened his grip on Minho's neck, holding him tight.

"I'm sorry."

"I hate you. Fucking idiot."

"I'm so sorry."

"Meow."

Minho chuckled, turning around to face his kitten. The small creature was trying to run up to the two, but kept stumbling every 2 seconds because she was tugging Jisung's beanie along with her mouth.

Minho softly picked her up, turning around to show her to Jisung. Jisung wiped his eyes and sniffled, smiling widely at the creature.

"It's adorable." Jisung whispered, still sobbing softly.
