    Summary

    Jisung cleared his throat, a sudden feeling of embarrassment coming over him. He stared at the paper cup in his hands as he spoke. "So you're really nice and all, and your cocoa is amazing, but the whole lip thing— I can see you staring when I talk and I just wanted to say it's kind of uncom-"

    "Uh sorry, strange question, but could you look up at me?" Minho suddenly asked. "I need to read your lips or else I can't really understand what you're saying."

    aka Jisung asks barista Minho to stop staring at his lips, not realizing Minho is deaf, and kind of has to.
    Minho thinks Jisung's lips are pretty

    Summary

    There were three times Jisung came to Minho's bedroom door with a question.

    The first, when he came out to Minho, he had asked Minho if it was okay that he liked boys. The second, when he asked Minho what it was like to kiss someone.

     

    knock… knock… knock

     

    “Minho?”

    (OR: There’s a knock on Minho’s door and lips with a question that hold the power to ruin everything for him.)

    Summary

    Nothing he did could keep Minho off his mind. There was no way Minho was doing it on purpose— as far as he knew, Jisung was straight. But Jisung couldn’t push aside the knowledge that he’d seen Minho shirtless more in the last two days than he had in the last year.

    Maybe some of it was wishful thinking, but part of him hoped Minho had realized his friend was living a lie and Jisung wouldn’t have to confess it on his own.

    He was walking on a tightrope, high off the ground with no safety net beneath him. He wanted to keep walking, to make it to the other side safely, but maybe the fall wouldn’t be so bad.

    (or: Jisung is a pretentious travel blogger and Minho is his fed up manager; and Jisung may just be in love with him too

    Summary

    “How much do you need?”
    “Uh, that’s okay,” Jisung tells him. There is no way Jisung is taking money from a stranger, he has no clue what this guy would ask for in return. “I’ve got it under control.” He presses Felix’s contact again and sighs when he doesn’t answer.
    The guy gives him a knowing look, “Are you sure? It’s not like it would dent my pocket.”
    “I’m happy for you,” Jisung tells him. Of course, the guy had money, he looked like he just walked out from modeling for Gucci. “I’m not taking money from a stranger.”
    “Well,” The guy pushes himself off of the wall, and holds his hand out, giving Jisung a grin, “I’m Minho Lee, VP of Gucci. Now, I’m not a stranger.”

    or, Jisung finds himself unable to deny the help that Minho offers him.
