Jisung's eyes were blown wide open. Not about the fact that Minho was bipolar, but about the fact that he hadn't told him about the matter. He knew it wasn't something to go around with and tell people, so he was understanding, of course. "That doesn't change the fact that I care about you," He paused for a few seconds as he took Minho's harmed hand into his own. "I don't want you to harm yourself, ever."
Minho sniffled. "I- I won't,"
"Promise me," Jisung stated.
"I promise,"
Jisung slightly nodded and stood back up. He walked out of Minho's room without as much as a word. A few minutes later, he came back in again with the first aid kit. He sat down where he was previously sat. "Let me take care of this for you," He took Minho's hand into his own and carefully took away the shard he was holding, it had made quite a deep cut in his hand.
He cleaned up the blood on Minho's hand and disinfected it, then gently pressing a sterile compress onto it and wrapping it with a bandage.
Jisung put away the first aid kit underneath the elder's bed and changed positions, now lying in Minho's bed, right next to him. He assured the latter that they would change his bottom sheet next thing in the morning.
It was quiet for quite some time. Jisung figured Minho didn't really feel like talking about it yet. He knew he would if he wanted to, and right now it didn't seem like he wanted to. Jisung knew this was a serious matter, but prying wouldn't help. Minho should be able to talk about it himself - not be pressured into anything.
Minho was lying on his back, looking at the ceiling while Jisung turned to his side. "Now," The latter began. "Tell me about the person you love,"
Minho scoffed as he chuckled. "Yeah, that's not gonna happen," The slightest fraction of a smile was seen on his face as he answered. "Nice try, though." He murmured after turning to his side, now looking at Jisung instead of at the ceiling. He knew Jisung was only trying to make him feel better - by changing the subject, which he felt thankful for.
Jisung chuckled lovingly. "Hey! It at least made you smile,"
"Thank you," Minho muttered sincerely as his smile grew wider. I don't deserve him. He went back to his previous position and looked at the ceiling once again. He shifted his gaze, looking at Jisung and noticed the younger still looking at him, worried. He patted the spot closer next to him. "Come here," He can't keep avoiding Jisung, even if he might hurt him one day. He just can't.
Jisung hesitated before he shifted over, comfortably. He had probably never laid this close to Minho, willingly, of course. He moved closer - and closer. Now, the blond boy had his head resting against the elder one's chest as he curled up, while the elder was caressing the younger's hair, his arm gently wrapped around him.
"Hyung," Jisung mumbled softly, not daring to look up at the elder. Minho hummed and a few seconds of silence interrupted them. The younger one of the two tried to find the courage to tell him something as well. "I lied... about not being gay,"
Minho let out a soft and harmless chuckle. "I already knew that,"
The blond boy was surprised yet shocked by Minho's answer. His head shot up, now looking up at Minho, who was staring at him like he was the most adorable human being he had ever seen. "W-what? How?" He questioned, his heart pounding as fast as he could run, which was very fast.
"Let's just say, I notice when you're lying,"
Jisung wondered why Minho asked him to get closer to him when he knows he was gay. He honestly thought the elder would be more disgusted by the fact of Jisung liking boys. Minho being a boy and all of that. He also pondered about the two kisses they had shared and if Minho knew about his sexuality this whole time, which he did not, the elder only found out about it after Jisung lied to him a few hours ago at the dining table.
The younger looked away from Minho's gaze as he laid his head back against the latter's chest. Being a flustered mess, he didn't know what to say exactly. He began to slowly fall asleep as the room was getting darker, the light from outside dimming and vanishing.
Silence overpowered the room.
Minho was still awake and pondering, caressing Jisung's hair softly. "I love you, Hannie," He whispered quietly.
Jisung was nearly asleep, yet his eyes shot wide open. He must've subconsciously still been awake, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hear a thing. His heart made a deep thump, he was even afraid it could be heard from miles away. No, he doesn't love you that way, Jisung. He doesn't know why, but he just pretended to actually be asleep. He tried not to move a single muscle.
~~~
Jisung opened his eyes, one by one, very slowly. He didn't feel like moving away from his current position since, for some reason, it felt soft and warm. He closed his eyes again as he snuggled up some more, wrapping his arm around... someone's waist.
A few seconds later, it finally hit him. He jumped up, a flood of warmth radiating from his chest through his whole body. Heat crept up his face, his cheeks tinting pink.
It was Minho, he fell asleep on Minho. He remembered he was going to shift off of him - the night before - but then Minho whispered he loved him and Jisung didn't want the other to know that he was still awake and heard every word so he just stayed like that. He can't believe he fell asleep while lying on his best friend's chest. The best friend he's in love with.
Minho raised his eyebrows with an amusing smile. "Morning, sunshine,"
"M-morning," He stuttered, feeling quite embarrassed.
Minho scanned Jisung from head to toe. "You know... you're adorable when you're asleep,"
"Oh, so... not when I'm awake?" Jisung slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Meh,"
"Hey!" Jisung chuckled as he threw one of the many pillows against Minho's face.
"I'm kidding," He laughed as they were having a small pillow fight. As they had eventually both quieted down, they looked into each other's glittery eyes. "So... wanna hang out today?" Minho broke the very short silence.
"Sure," Jisung said. "We could go to the movies?" He questioned the other, not knowing if he would be okay with it.
"Yes! I haven't been to the movie theatre in such a long time," He jumped up, out of his bed, excitingly.
It was already noon. They decided to get ready and then take a walk to the movies, which was quite far, but they've got time. In the meantime, Minho could think of which movie to watch since Jisung let him choose.
Jisung turned around and also stepped foot outside of the bed. As he was about to get up, he noticed the framed picture that was neatly placed on Minho's nightstand. A picture of them two - Jisung back hugging Minho. This is the picture Jeongin had once talked about to Jisung, but the latter didn't believe him, of course.
He took the frame into his left hand and caressed the picture over the glass with his index finger - of his right hand - smiling at it widely.
He put it back where he got it from and left the room, towards the bathroom as he wanted to freshen up and get dressed. He was so busy studying the framed picture that he hadn't noticed Minho had already left to get ready and had now occupied the bathroom.
Suddenly, he remembered they still had to change Minho's bottom sheets as there was blood all over so he went back into the room and did exactly that. He put the bloody sheets into the washing machine, separately, and set it on one hour. He crossed his fingers that the stain would be gone when his mother gets back from wherever she went and takes it out of the machine.
As he was done putting a tidy sheet over Minho's mattress, the latter got out of the bathroom, so Jisung was now able to freshen up and get ready as well.
~~~
Minho and Jisung were standing in front of the multiple boards at the cinema, they still had to choose what to watch. And it seemed as if Minho had his eyes set on one of them.
The elder boy looked at one of the boards, grinning widely.
Jisung followed Minho's gaze as his eyes were also on that one board now. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me,"
