Jisung is awoken by someone shaking his shoulder lightly. He yawns as he tries to make them stop, putting his arm over his eyes. When he just heard a groan procceeded by more shaking, he finally opened his eyes. Above him, a Minho with messy bed hair was looking down at him. A beautiful sight, if Jisung had to say so himself.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty. Whilst I love to let you continue napping, we got to get to school. We're already 5 minutes late." Jisung's eyes widen and that is when the entire situation actually dawns on him.
He is in Minho's bed.
With Minho.
They 'slept' together. Cuddled up close like a baby in a womb, that was how close they had been.
Jisung's face instantly flushes and he finally sits up, finding himself dangerously close to Minho. The older must've seemed to have agreed, getting up from the bed entirely. He looked hot and Jisung couldn't help but stare. A simple white tshirt and grey sweats? Boyfriend material. He mentally slapped his head, wondering why that thought even crossed his mind. He blamed it on the fact this he had just woken up, his thoughts weren't straight yet... but were they ever to be fair?
Jisung finally got up as well, the fact they were late dawning onto him. "What day is it again? Who is first period?" He finally spoke up for the first time that day. "Not sure about you, but I have classical dance... and it's Tuesday." Minho laughed as he opened his closet, picking out a quick outfit for himself.
"Oh, lets not hurry then. I have a P.E. sideclass." Jisung sighed in relief, glad he didn't have to sweat a bunch in a hoodie. Speaking of which, he didn't have any spare clothes. He turned to Minho to announce this, when he saw Minho's bare back staring back at him. His eyes nearly popped out. Minho's back was really pretty and toned, he honestly would want to know what the front looked like too. Snapping out of it, he turned around with a flushed face. 'What am I even thinking? I'm literally ridiculous.'
"I don't have any new clothes... I-If it's not a hassle, could I borrow a hoodie or something from you? I don't mind wearing my jeans twice, but you know... a new top is fine." Because he was turned around, he couldn't see the devilish smirk Minho had on his face. He was going to make Jisung look extra attractive. "Sure, let me pick something out for you."
Minho handed the younger a simple dark grey/white sweater, noticing the boy liked to wear those. It would look good with his simple black skinnys as well. "Wear this with it as well, I'd match the outfit." Minho said as he handed Jisung a chain-like necklace.
"O-Outfit? Hyung. I'm just asking for a hoodie, I'm not going to New York Fashion Week!"
"Bitch, you might." Minho laughed and handed Jisung the clothes. For a second they just stared awkwardly, until the coin finally hit the ground.
"U-Uhm, I'll be in the kitchen. Preparing breakfast! I-Is there anything you don't like?"
"I'm fine with everything, but I prefer savory over sweet early." Jisung gave a small smile and after that, Minho left the room. Jisung let out a breath (he didn't know he had been holding 😔✊🏻) and slowly took of the clothes from the previous day. His hands grazed his arms as he put on the sweater, chills running down his spine. After changing and looking at himself awkwardly in the mirror, he turned around and made his way to the kitchen.
"Hey Jisung, I'm just making instant ramyeon if you're— Woah." Minho stared at the boy for a second. He definitely accomplished his mission in making Jisung look nice. Now, the sweater wasn't anything special but when Jisung usually wore black long sleeved t-shirts it surely made him stand out more than usual.
Jisung looks down at the floor, becoming self concious. "I don't think this suits me, hyung. Don't you have something else?" Minho laughed in disbelief. It looked great. "W-Why're you laughing? It looks aweful, right?"
"No, not at all. I'm laughing because I can't believe you don't see how good you're looking! Honestly, you look great. Besides, I don't really have any other style of clothes you would like. Embrace it, Jisungie, I think you look, dare I say, kinda hot. Also, wear this with it. I'm sure it finishes your look." Minho said in defense and handed Jisung a black beanie that was laying around his kitchen counter. He wasn't the best at keeping things organized, clearly.
After Jisung had given up argueing and had put on the beanie, the two decided there was no need to rush to school. Both would get scolded for being late regardless and Jisung told Minho he really didn't want to go to P.E. Plus, Minho didn't mind skipping the first two classes either. They'd have Music at third period together with Chan and Changbin. He didn't know yet what their project would be for that, seeing their teacher had been sick last week, meaning both of the classes had been canceled. After finishing their ramyeon, they decided it was time to head out. Seeing Minho lived in a dorm on campus, it thankfully wasn't that long of a walk.
Jisung felt uncomfortable with what he was wearing. He wasn't going to lie, he didn't hate it nor did it look bad on him, he just thought that he would get stared at. He was already right, as him and Minho walking towards campus he was already receiving some looks. Both wearing all black, looking like they stepped out of Aesthetic Pinterest (TM), it certainly was a pretty good sight to see. For others, of course.
"I'm really excited for music, finally I get to do what I partly came here for." Minho talked excitedly, Jisung smiling to himself.
"Didn't you come here for dance and performance?"
"For sure, but the music is just as important as the dance. Plus, I wouldn't mind learning how to sing. I'd say I'm half decent with room for improvement. How about you?"
Jisung's gaze went to the ground again, feeling slightly embarrassed when he thought about his dreams. They were so big and out of reach, he couldn't help but be afraid Minho might laugh at him. But Minho was a good person and his friend. He wouldn't laugh at his ambitions, right?
"I want to be a rapper. Or singer. And a producer. I love to write songs, it always helps me clear my thoughts. The lyrics kind of come natural to me, as well? Like, I can watch a drama and just be inspired by a scene and write an entire song. Or I eat cheesecake and write down my struggles or fears. Yeah. I like that. It sounds stupid though so—"
"Don't ever call your dreams stupid, Jisung. I think they're beautiful and I'm sure if you work hard, you can succeed. I'll be your first fan!" Jisung let out a chuckle. "Sorry bud, you'd have to get in line. Changbin and Chan are my number 1 and 2 fans. You can be a solid 3, though."
"Then I'll be your solid 3." Minho smiled warmly as their gazes met. Jisung being too flustered by the butterflies in his stomach, decided he would just give a nod. What could he respond to that, after all?
The duo had walked into school just as the bell rang, signaling their timing to be perfect. They made their way to music, Jisung being the guide. As they walked through the hallways, Minho could see everyone staring at them. Jisung pretended to be oblivious, but he knew. As they walked into music, Changbin and Chan were already seated.
Jisung and Changbin's eyes met and the younger could see the widening in his hyungs' eyes. He sat down next to him, Minho taking a spot opposite of Jisung, next to Chan.
"Morning!" Jisung said, feeling slightly brave seeing the reaction he got from the other two.
"Good morning to you two? Why did you both show up late to school... together?" Jisung wasn't going to respond to the latter half of what Changbin had said but it seemed like Minho was really trying to push his comfort zone today in more than one aspect.
"Jisung slept over last night. Kinda on accident, though."
After a few ooooo's from Chan and Changbin, Jisung loudly exclaiming 'Not like that!', the teacher arrived and began the class. Minho figured out that they all had been writing a solo or duo song. Chan, who had been writing a solo song kindly asked Minho if he liked to listen to the song to see if he liked it and wanted to join in, Chan not wanting his friend to feel like he was too far behind on the class. Minho had kindly accepted and after listening to Chan's banger of a song, the two became a duo, with acceptance from the teacher, of course. Changbin and Jisung were packing their stuff to go into one of the small studios attached to the classroom, when they were stopped by 2 girls.
"Hey Jisung. I was wondering if you'd maybe like to come over to my place later today..." One of the girls gave Jisung a flirty look, sending him into panic. He didn't like girls and even if he did, he couldn't handle anyone flirting with him. Changbin was to his rescue, like always.
"Sorry ladies... my boy and I already got plans."
"I assume your plans don't end at 9 pm, though." Even though Jisung was clearly uncomfortable, he'd rather it end quicker than for it to drag on. He spoke up,
"I appreciate the offer Yeeun noona, but I'm into someone else already." With that he stood up, leaving the girls and Changbin flabbergasted. Changbin quickly got up and gave a small smirk to the girls before leaving them at their previous table. Chan and Minho had seen the entire situation go down and Minho suddenly didn't know if he liked the outfit he had given to Jisung. Especially since he knew that Jisung was interested in someone and he was pretty sure if it wasn't him. They had known each other for a week, there was just no way.
As soon as Changbin closed the studio door behind him he spun around quickly, staring at an already seated Jisung. The younger seemed oblivious for a second, but soon felt like he was being watched. "What?" A simple question, but Changbin thought the situation was pretty obvious. He marched towards the other chair and sat next to Jisung. "What do you mean what?! First, you come into school late, looking like the biggest snack I've ever seen. Second, girls are interested in you and you tell them confidently you're already invested in someone else? WHO IS THAT AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL YOUR BEST FRIEND?" Changbin pouted. He didn't yell because he was angry, he yelled because his mind was filled with confusion. Jisung just smiled at his best friend's pouting face, deeming it adorable.
"First off, hyungie. I wasn't confident. I barely could say anything but I really just wanted the situation to be over. Second, a snack? Really?"
"Yes a snack, really. Don't you dare attempt to dodge my other questions though. Where did you get these clothes and who are you swooning over? Do I know him?" Jisung couldn't believe Changbin was both a genius and insanely oblivious. Who else could it be but Minho?
"Who's house did I stay over at?"
"...Minho's?"
"That answers both questions. Now, lets get to recording?" Jisung tried. He knew that attempt to avert the situation would fail. Changbin let out some inhumane noises whilst shaking his hands excitedly. "Ohmygod. This is so cute. You have a crush. You have a crush? Ohmygod you have a crush! On Minho! So cute. He toates likes you back! Ohmygod your babies are going to be beautiful do you see your visuals?! And talented too. Ohmygod, when is the wedding?!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Calm down Binnie." Jisung grabbed his friends' hands in an effort to stop making them move. "You really said 'toates'? Like, actually? Are you okay? And babies? We're both dudes, hyung. I know it's been a while since we had biology classes but this is a little concerning. Wedding? Bold of you to assume I'm brave enough to tell him my feelings. Even bolder of you to assume that I'm 10000% certain it is a crush and not just me feeling thankful?"
"Woah there. You really have to confess though. Not now, of course. But I really think he's into you too. Also. You're wearing his clothes? That is basically boyfriend material! Besides, if you compare your feelings towards me and your feelings towards him, I'm sure you'll be able to tell the difference."
"He did pick out this outfit for me though, he even mentioned I looked 'hot' in it."
"And you dare to tell me you're not getting married next month? Or that he isn't into you? Friends don't just call each other 'hot' and not be in love with you."
"You just called me a snack not even five minutes ago."
"Yes but I love you more than anyone, am your personal hypeman and will tell you the truth. I'm different and special." Changbin gave big puppies eyes, making the other laugh.
"Touché...."
They laughed it off and decided to finally work on their songs. Not like they needed that much more time to finish them, but they loved music and it was time to work on it.
"Oh and Binnie."
"Hmm?"
"I love you too!"
———————————————————————————
This chapter was so sweet I need to go see a dentist.
I love this chapter so much ;-; JISUNG ADMITTED HE IS CRUSHING ON MINHO. AND MINHO IS OBVIOUSLY CRUSHING ON HIS SOULMATE. Best boys. BEST BOYS. Changbin best boy too. Chan best boy. Skz best boys.
Also can we imagine that outfit on Sung? Suddenly it's hard to breathe.
ALSO. Just felt the need to explain this: Jisung doesn't always call Changbin 'hyung' in this story. Like mentioned before, they've known each other for the biggest part of their lives and love each other a lot. Changbin doesn't need Jisung to call him 'hyung' in order to know he has so much love and respect for him. He much rather have Jisung call him a cute nickname. Plus, they've been through a lot together. Soulmates?????? 👀 Minho better watch out and step up, Changbin might just steal your spot.
Also if you're wondering what my notes for each chapter look like, here's a sample:
some girls start flirting with jisung, changbin is like 'yo fok off mates'
Also, the draft title (so that i know wtf goes on in the chapter) was called, and I directly quote: 'hot eboy lookin foker'
