"Umm we should wait for it to dry before we add anything else so we don't smudge any of the colors," Minho said a few minutes later.

"Oh okay, should I go home and come back tomorrow?"

"No, it won't take that long to finish it so let's just wait for it to dry so you don't have to come back," Minho said. Jisung wished Minho would treat this like he did their project earlier in the year. He didn't try to rush finishing it and he used it as an excuse to be around Jisung but now he seemed to want to spend the least amount of time around him possible.

"How has living with Felix been?" Minho asked, trying to break the silence between them though it probably would be better if he didn't.

"Good."

It went silent again for a while so Minho took this time to look over at Jisung who was staring down at the ground. He looked exhausted and Minho knew he was the one to blame for how horrible Jisung looked and felt.

"About what I said yesterday. I didn't mean for it to come out rude but you should start eating better. I miss your chubby cheeks." Minho explained, pinching the side of Jisung's face, not that there was much their other thank skin.

Jisung looked at the older, surprised. Minho immediately regretted it because making eye contact with him was always insanely difficult to break. He could admire Jisung's eyes all day even if they were swollen from crying. Jisung would always look beautiful to him.

"You should also try to get some more sleep. You look really tired," Minho explained and luckily succeeded in looking away from the younger's eyes but instead made an even worse move by looking down at his lips.

Minho moved his hand to the side of Jisung's face again and pulled him a tiny bit closer as the younger stared back at him.

Minho was inches away from throwing away everything he had done in the past month to get Jisung to forget about him.

Not that it was working at all and at the current moment he couldn't care less.

He leaned in and Jisung immediately kissed back.

He had no idea why Minho was acting like this so suddenly but he missed this Minho and he was just happy to have him back even if it were just for a few seconds.

Minho used his free hand to pull Jisung onto his lap as he deepened the kiss. Neither of them dared to pull away because neither of them knew what would come next.

Minho only moved away when he felt a war tear fall onto his hand that was holding the side of Jisung's face as he gently wiped it away.

"Why are you crying?"

"Is this another game?" Jisung questioned as he hugged Minho tightly, "please don't lie."

"Jisung..."

"I don't care if it is. You can use me for as many stupid games as you want to but at least give me a warning this time if you're planning to ignore me once you succeed in whatever you're trying to accomplish right now."

"I shouldn't have done that," Minho said, pulling Jisung's arms away from him and moving him off of his lap. Giving Jisung the same blank, emotionless look that he had been for the past month.

"Then why did you?"

"Let's just get back to working."

"No," Jisung replied, "answer the question."

"Yes, Jisung it was just another freaking game. Seeing if I can make you fall in love with me after I broke your heart. Easier than I expected." Minho explained coldly.

"I never stopped loving you. There's only one way that could happen...do you want me to stop?"

"Yes, Jisung. At this point, it's just sad to watch. What do I need to do to make you stop?"

"You already did it. You answered that question." Jisung said, grabbing his stuff to leave.

"Wait Jisung, what do you mean?!" Minho yelled as he ran after him and grabbed his hand to get him to stop.

"You'll see soon," Jisung said as he pulled his hand away and walked out of the house.
