Chapter Text
"This has to be a joke." Jisung feels his face heating up at the thought of it. Using Minho as a model... . Does he mean a nude model? Because that is the only kind of art he's seen. But that would be totally ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as his face right now probably.
Felix turns to him and eyes him warily. "What's going on?"
Jisung gives him the cookie box with the note. Minho has to be joking. Why would he ever give his number?
"I was right", he all but screams, "it was some kind of weird foreplay you two were having!" It definitely wasn't. Minho thinks he is annoying and weird and nervous and not athletic enough and .... but what if he does mean it?
Felix is smirking at him. Jisung sees him pulling up his phone probably texting someone.
"What are you doing?" He says nothing, only keeps on typing.
If Felix tells anyone about this he'll be teased until he dies.
"Felix, tell me." The blonde keeps on smiling at Jisung while saying nothing.
The only logical course of action now is jumping Felix. They both fall of the couch, Felix screeches. "Let go of me!"
"Not until you show me your phone!"
Felix sighs while sitting back up. "Fine."
Felix shows him his phone. It is open on a contact named 'sexy ferret'.
"Who the fuck is sexy ferret?"
He quickly reads the conversation.
To sexy ferret
> YO you'll never guess what just happened
> you're probably sleeping
> anyways minho gave sung his number
From sexy ferret
> whattt no wayyy
To sexy ferret
> that was fast lol
From sexy ferret
> it's not everyday our child gets noticed by a total hottie
The only person this can be is Hyunjin. The actual root of this problem he's facing. If he never asked for that stupid drawing he would be living his dream hermit life right now.
"I had to let Hyunjin know Sung, he has been rooting for you all this time."
Jisung scoffs. "Rooting? What for?" Hyunjin doesn't know about his history with Minho. He's made sure of that. Hyunjin is even worse with teasing than Felix, he wouldn't be able to handle that. And on top of that Hyunjin knows Minho. They share some dance classes. (Thank you past Jisung for obsessively learning Minho's schedule to make sure he didn't share any.)
"Hyunjin just wants you to let out your inner flirty sexy self. As do I by the way. You're a catch."
"Yeah right." Jisung takes the note and throws it in the trash. "I don't like Minho anyway."
Felix trails after him and rolls his eyes. "Now, why are you lying. You forget I know you. You've been drooling after him for 2 years", he says with a smile.
There is nothing Jisung has to convince him he most definitely hasn't been drooling. Maybe look once in a while. But that's all.
"I'm done with this conversation, I'm not texting him. Goodnight."
Jisung turns to his room. That is enough stress for the day. He needs his time to silently panick in his room alone.
Felix grabs his hand. "Not even a good night kiss?" His lips are pouting.
One thing Jisung can't do is say no to Felix. He gives him a quick peck on the cheek. "I'm still annoyed with you."
"Sweet dreams! Preferably featuring one handsome catlike dancer!"
"Fuck you!" Jisung calls back but he can't help but smile a little.
"Love you too Sung."
♡
Sleep doesn't really come that night. Jisung is stuck thinking about the what-ifs. Minho is objectively a handsome guy. Pretty. Strong. Slightly taller. He feels himself getting hotter only thinking about him.
But texting him? That is a step a bit too big. What if this was all one big revenge prank. Friends have never been easy. If he let's Minho closer and it is all a lie, what then? But it's not like this is that big of a deal right. He only gave his number. He is building this up in his head way too much.
A loud knocking on his door disturbs his thought process.
"Mooorrninng sunshine!"
Jisung groans. Well, goodbye sleep. Not that he was getting any. He looks at his right at the little red alarm clock: 8.36 am.
Who in their right mind wakes up this early during winter break?
The knocking continues. "We have breakfast for you."
We?
Ugh. Jisung puts on a hoodie and stumbles out of his bed half asleep. The smell of freshly baked croissants reaches his nose. He can't say no to breakfast.
Jisung drowsily opens his bedroom door and taken place at the table. A much too hyper duo is staring at him.
"What are you doing here Hyunjin?"
Hyunjin grabs at his heart like he's offended. "I hear my friend pulled a guy for the first time in ..... how long is it, can you remind me Jisung?" Jisung only gives him a look. "I thought so. I have come to your rescue."
Oh no. Felix and Hyunjin are both staring at him with sparkling eyes. Nothing good can come from this. The last time Hyunjin tried to help he ended up drunk and glittered up in a ditch somewhere.
"No. I don't need it. Weren't you visiting your family?"
"I was. Not anymore. School starts back up in 3 days anyway. I'm here to guide you in the ways of seduction."
Hyunjin would. He has new armcandy every week. "And Minho is so nice and obscenely hot. I don't know him that well but he always buys us drinks after practice."
Well good for him. Jisung grabs a croissant and ignores them. He has decided. He is not going to text Minho.
The pairs of puppy eyes keep staring at him.
"I said no."
"Pffft lame. At least come to this party tomorrow night. It's santa themed and the last big party before studying starts again", Hyunjin says hopefully.
"Chan is going to be there and I need someone to hold me back from doing something stupid."
Jisung has never met Chan. But he has stories enough from hearing Hyunjin pine over him. Apparently he is the perfect man.
"Can Felix not go with you?" Jisung turns the look at Felix but he is already holding his hands up apologetically.
"I'm going to my sisters award ceremony. Sorry."
Great. Just great.
Hyunjin takes his hands. "Pleasseee? I'll buy you all the cheesecake you want."
"Fine." Hyunjin almost jumps over the table to come hug him. "But you can't leave me alone when we're there." He embraces Hyunjin. "Of course not. Thank you Sung!"
They can be annoying, but he does love his friends.
♡
It's much too loud. And as aspected Hyunjin has been lost to the crowd. Jisungs crop top feels ridiculous without his friends hyping him up. His tight pants are suffocating and everywhere feels sticky. The party is fine. A lot of ridiculous Christmas decorations, cheap beer and drunk people. Jisung has been nursing his beer for a while now.
Hyunjin is grinding against some guy he has never seen before. Handsome though. As if he knows he is looking at him, Hyunjin turnes around.
"There you are, Jisung come here!", he shouts. Hyunjin is definitely drunk. Jisung tries to sign no, but gets pulled into the crowd. "Has someone spotted your eye?" Hyunjin does some weird eyebrow wiggle. God. This is worse than expected, he shakes his head no.
"This is Jeongin." Jeongin has a nice smile but looks uncomfortable talking to Jisung. He is surely only here for Hyunjin, not to meet his grubby friend.
"Hi." Jisung half shouts over the music. Jeongin kindly nods back. Hyunjin keeps on dancing and jumping next to Jeongin.
Jisung stays there for a minute but gets ignored entirely.
"I'm getting another drink, you want one?"
It's almost like they can't hear him. Too mesmerized by each other.
Jisung leaves them be and tries to find his way to the bar. Once he reached the bar he looks around again.
And there he is. Minho dancing like he is the only one there. Eyes closed and strong legs. He looks godly. Good thing he didn't text. How was he ever to survive this. Only looking at him makes him feel things in his lower stomach. It's time for him to go home. He just has to let Hyunjin know.
With his new drink in hand, Jisung tries to navigate the crowd back to Hyunjin. But of course someone has to bump into him.
He stumbles right into Minho. His drink spills on the silk shirt Minho is wearing. Minho grabs his waist to stabilize him. How can this happen to him twice?
Minho is definitely shocked and opens his eyes. Almost immediately a smirk forms on his face.
"Jisung. Hi. Weird walking into you here."
For a second Jisung only stares, but wakes himself from his stupor.
"Yeah umh you too. I'm sorry, someone bumped into me. I can give you my jacket?"
Minho's hands are still on his waist. His eyes trail down Jisungs face, then his neck, then going lower. "You look good Jisung." He whispers in Jisungs ear. Jisung stops breathing for a second. Minho looks gorgeous. His lips are shimmering with pink lip gloss. He has some kind of eyeliner on that makes him look stupidly good. Unfair.
"Uhm th-thank you. You too."
They are silent for a bit. Minho is swaying with him to the music.
Jisung is sure he has turned red again. Is Minho waiting for him to say something?
"I can wash your shirt for you, if you'd like." Minho smiles at him, like he's thinking about it.
"Sure." He then takes Jisungs hand and takes him upstairs. What the hell is happening? Jisungs heart starts to beat real fast. What does Minho want? What does he expect? Is he mad? His hand is sweating so much, Minho must feel this.
"Calm down Jisung. I'm not abducting you, only grabbing a new shirt."
Right. Minho opens a door. It's a cozy room. A mini Christmas tree in the left corner. Some picture frames. A cat tower, suspiciously without any cats.
"You can sit on the bed if you want."
He sits down. Minho starts taking of his shirt. What is he doing? Jisung turns around. He doesn't want to see this. Is this guy seriously stripping right now?
"I was kind of disappointed you didn't text you know."
What the hell.
"But than I thought. Jisung probably has guys lining up for him. Of course he wouldn't text me."
Jisung makes the mistake to turn around incredulously. Minho is half naked. Of course he also has the perfect body. Definitely very strong, not too defined, soft belly.
"Are you laughing at me?" Jisung asks.
Minho looks confused. A cute frown on his face showing. "No? Why would I be laughing?"
"You must know I'm not that popular Minho. I honestly thought you were just messing with me by giving me your number."
Minho looks shocked. His ears have turned red at this point. "No I—Jisung you're—I have been flirting with you for like years—you're gorgeous." It's Jisungs turn to look shocked. "Oh."
"Yeah. Oh. Changbin has been laughing at me forever for not daring to give my number. And than I did. But you didn't text, so I thought it was just not in the cards for me."
Minho has a crush on him? Was flirting with him? This is a lot to wrap his head around. This is not the time to start freaking out. He takes a deep breath.
"I thought. Nevermind."
Minho looks at him again, a hand in his neck, like he's nervous aswell.
"I know I'm not that great with words."
Jisung starts laughing hysterically. "I can't believe it. The hottest guy on this campus has a crush on little ol' me."
Minho rolls his eyes. "Don't say it like that's so hard to believe."
"So you liked my drawing then?" Jisung doesn't know where this confidence comes from.
Minho huffs a laugh. He sits down next to Jisung. It looks like his neck has turned red following his ears. "I mean you're a good artist but I didn't exactly expect to see a penis that morning on the first day of school."
Jisung shoves him. "Don't say it like that. It was a birthday present."
"I'm sure the birthday boy liked it. I mostly just liked seeing you blush everytime I brought it up."
Jisung turns to him trying to look angry. He fails. He sorta forgot Minho is still half naked. He coughs and stands up.
"Well great that is has been cleared up. I should go home." Minho stands up aswell.
"So will you text? I kind of want to go on a date with I if you'd like that."
Jisung starts coughing again. This guy is serious. Of course he wants to go on a date with Minho.
"I do." Jisung can't help but stare at Minho's body again. There is a small scar he hadn't seen before on his stomach. Jisung wonders where it comes from.
It seems like all of Minho's confidence has returned with his conformation. "My eyes are up here, you know."
Jisung rolls his eyes. "Then put on a funking shirt." Minho laughs again, his bunny teeth are showing. It's beautiful. Minho notices him looking at the scar. "You can touch if you want."
Jisung hesitates but reaches his hand to the scar. When he softly touches it he feels Minho shiver. It seems like the room has instantly heated up several degrees.
They both look up at each other at the same time. Jisung sees Minho's eyes flick to his lips for a second. The room is charged with some kind of tension. The only thing they hear is each other's breathing. Jisungs hands are still on the scar. Minho's ears have turned red again.
Then the moment gets ruined by the door opening. A short muscly guy stumbles in. He takes in the situation. His eyebrows fly up. Jisung jumps away from Minho.
The short guy starts laughing. "I'm sorry for interrupting you guys. But I need Minho for a second. Nice to meet you by the way Jisung. Have heard nothing but great things about you from all the times Min talks about."
Minho slaps his hand on the muscled guys mouth. "Okay that's enough Changbin. What do you need. We were kind of in the middle of something here."
This is Jisungs cue to go. He grabs his phone and tries to pass by Changbin and Minho on his way out. "I was actually just leaving. See you around Minho."
"Yeah see you." Minho looks disappointed. Jisung will text him later.
While he makes his way down the stairs he hears Changbin shouting after him. "Can you get me that freckled guys number?" The last thing he sees in Minho slapping Changbin.
♡
Jisung feels giddy the whole way home. Minho actually asked him out. This perfect guy likes him. The moment he gets home he gets the note out of the trash.
To Minho
> hey
> got home safe
From Minho
> I'm glad
> sorry about Changbin
> he's normally not this annoying
To Minho
> that's fine
> I'm curious about all these things you've been telling about me
From Minho
> we'll save that for after our first date
> if you still want to of course
To Minho
> I'd love to
> it's not everyday a hotshot like yourself asks me out
From Minho
> great I'll text details later ;)
To Minho
> good night Minho
From Minho
> sweet dreams Sungie
♡
A loud knocking sounds in Jisungs room again.
Jisung awakes feeling happier that he has in a while. He can't fight the smile of his face when he walks out.
Felix frowns at him. "Did you get laid or something? You're glowing."
Jisungs softly punches him. "Minho kind of asked me on a date."
Felix's face is comical. It's like he's going through 47 different emotions. "Oh my god, Sung, I'm so happy for you!" It gets followed by a warm hug. "Don't wanna be that gut but: I told you so."
Jisung smiles. "Yeah yeah, you were right, I was wrong, blah blah blah."
"I wanna know everything!"
Right at that moment, the doorbell rings. They frown.
Felix walks to the door and looks through the peeping hole.
"Speak of devil." He opens the door with the biggest smile ever. And there he is. Lee Minho standing in front of him, like a deer caught in headlights.
Jisung turns red again. Felix giggles. "I just remembered I had something to do." Felix grabs his shoes and almost flies out of the door. He winks and then he's gone.
It's kind of awkward. Both of them standing in front of the door.
"Hi", Minho says.
"Hi", Jisung says back.
Minho starts again, "you forgot your jacket last night, and I pass you building on my way to work so I thought I'd drop this of."
"That's very kind, thank you."
Jisung accepts his jacket from Minho. Their hands briefly touch. He can't stop staring at him. He looks even better like this. A bit of a bedhead, sunshine reflecting on his face, sparkling eyes.
Minho coughs. "I'll be going then." He looks like he's searching for a reason to stay longer. But Jisung is too much of a coward to do anything about it. He just looks so good right now. "Okay." Jisung says.
Minho starts to turn around, but seems to have changed his mind.
"Wait, Jisung?"
"Yes?"
"Yesterday we were kind of interrupted, I'm sorry again about that by the way, but I kind of really want to kiss you. Not that you have to, I'd understand if that's not something you want yet. But yesterday you looked so good and today even better and I just think I'll regret it if I don't even try you know..."
Minho keeps rambling and Jisung is ecstatic. Jisung grabs him by the collar of his jacket and kisses him. Minho is shocked, but starts kissing back very fast. It starts slow. Minho places his hands on Jisung's cheeks and softly caresses him. His lips are soft and perfect for him. Jisung feels Minho tong on his lips and opens them for him. Of course he is also an amazing kisser. Minho hand now trail down to his sides and he gets pulled even closer. Jisung thinks he sees stars.
After a while Jisung lightly pushes him of before it gets too filthy. They are smiling at each other. "We should keep the rest for after our date, don't you think?" Minho chuckles. "Good idea. I'll see you soon Sungie. Maybe you can draw me some time soon." Jisung lights up at the nickname. "Maybe. See you soon Minho."
This year will be the best year yet.
