Chapter Text
The first thing Jinshi did when he came home and laid down on his bed was checking his Instagram. He dedicated his evening to stalk her social media. At first, there were some photos of her cat or photos of her little garden, which was probably not at the apartment, he just brought her too. ‘Mhmm it’s probably gonna be at her parents house or at another place.’ he thought.
There were also some photos of her and the girl who was with her at the restaurant and also some photos from Lahans and Rikusons wedding. But all in all she maybe had like seven posts online. He also went through her highlights and accidentally reacted with a heart emoji. At first, he hoped that the post would be from like two days ago, which wouldn’t be as bad, but when he checked the date, it was from four years ago.
‘Fuck she will think that I’m weirdo, I’m just gonna act as if it wasn’t an accident.‘
20 minutes later Maomao had seen his reaction on her highlight and replied with a ''?'', which Jinshi instantly saw. But since Jinshi liked to consider himself as a gentleman, who thinks that writing over Instagram or Snapchat is just for horny teens (if it's not used for exchaning memes or videos), he decided to write directly over Messanges.
Fortunately he directly saved Maomaos number, which he got through her application and after he decided that she would behave hired.
'Maybe I should just let it be and take the blame or maybe not…‘
'Read. Of course she would instantly read my weird ass message. Why wouldn’t she.‘
After two minutes of overthinking his life and throwing his phone through his room a notification sound came from his phone. It was from Maomao.
"Oh my god, why did I write this. What is wrong with me. She probably thinks that I‘m a completely weirdo or a stalker or a pervert.“ Jinshi was talking to hinself so loud that Basen came into his room.
"Man what the hell!? It‘s basically midnight stop screaming about being a pervert and go the fuck to bed“ Basen said in an angry tone, clearly pissed of.
"I‘m sorry dude, do you want to go watch a movie or something? I’m not really tired" Jinshi replied. And a clearly confused Basen just answered: "Where did this come from? But yeah sure, we maybe have popcorn leftovers that I can put in the microwave and some cold drinks.“
"Great! What do you want to watch? My suggestion is a horror movie, but it’s really up to you.“ Jinshi said, while heading towards the living room, where the only TV stand.
"I also would like to watch a horror movie!“ Basen replied, while putting the popcorn in the microwave and searching for other snacks.
"Do you know where Lihaku is? I think it would be mean if we leave him out, don’t you think?“ Jinshi asked. Basen just said that Lihaku would sleepover at Pairins apartment and that he would he back tomorrow.
So after everything was prepared they both sat on the couch and started to watch the movie. But after thirty minutes Basen and Jinshi were half hiding under their shared blanket, because they were to scared.
Then a big jumpscare came on and both men screamed.
"OMG TURN THE FUCKING TV OFF!“
"YOU TURN THE TV OFF!“
And just as the creepy scene was over Basen turned the Tv off. The only problem was, that they were now sitting in the dark, which made Jinshi cling to Basen like a Koala baby.
"Bro get off of me, you’re nineteen not nine.“ Basen said annoyed.
„Basen?“
"Yeah?"
"I don’t want to sleep alone, we’ll sleep in your room together.“ Jinshi said clarifying, with not even a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
"Just because you get nightmares from horror movies and stuff, doesn’t mean I’ll sleep in the same room as you.“ Basen blurted out.
But for Jinshi this wasn’t just a fun little joke, he looked terrified and had tears in his eyes. As Basen looked at him, he just gestured towards his room and a little smile formed in Jinshis face.
Jinshi could have slept on the floor with a mattress, but decided that he needed a bit more comfort so now he and Basen lay side by side.
And slowly they both drifted into a peaceful sleep.

"Basen, Jinshi" they both slowly woke up at the sound of their name, realizing that Lihkau were standing right over them with his phone in his hand.
As they both gained consciousness they realized that they were cuddling.
Basen was at this moment so shocked and had the power like he drank 3 energy drinks trying to get out of this embarrassing situation, fully awake in 3 seconds. But Jinshi was the complete opposite, he stayed cuddled up with Basen, so much aware that he understood what was happening, but not that much interested in trying to explain things or leaving the warm nest.
"Heyyyy Baaaseeeen, look what pretty pictures I good here hahahah. This will be so uploaded on my Insta.“ Lihaku teased "Aaaaand POST.“
"NO!" Basen practically shouted.
While Basen tried to fight of a Jinshi, who fell back into a half-sleep, he tried to snatch Lihakus phone to delete the cuddle photo from his Instagram.
"Gods Jinshi wake up!“ Basen slapped the back of Jinshis head.
"Mao..Mao why are you being so mean I didn’t do anything, just let me sleep.“ Jinshi murmured.
"What did you say?" Now Lihaku was kinda shocked and pulled Jinshi from Basen and on to the floor, to get more information out of him.
"Ouch. Huh? Guys what is happening?" Jinshi looked genuinely confused, but now fully awake and aware of his surroundings.
"You jerk wouldn’t let go of me and now Lishu probably thinks I am gay or something.“ Basen said frustrated.
"Yeah yeah, bo ho Basen. More important matter why the hell are you dreaming about Maomao? Do you like her? I don’t think she likes you." Lihaku deadpans.
"So at first sorry for ruining your ‚reputation' Basen and second of all Maomao is just someone who is interesting to me and yeah maybe I have dreamed about her but that doesn’t mean anything.“ Jinshi huffed.
Heading to his own rooms he realized something.
'No that can’t be, I‘ve never had a crush on someone. Me and a crush NO' Jinshi concluded for himself.
Or maybe…
