“Say it again.”

 

Minho hesitated but repeated the word again. 

 

Jonghyun and Jinki burst into laughter again. Jinki kicked his legs and held his stomach. Jonghyun howled and hit the floor with his palm. Minho on the other hand, had no idea what was so funny. All he had done was say a word. He blinked and practically pouted, not liking being laughed at, especially when he didn’t know why.

 

“You hear it?” Jonghyun asked, trying to breathe.

 

Jinki tried to calm his painful laughing, clinging to Jonghyun now. “Y-Yes.” 

 

“What?” Minho demanded, voice maybe too loud and showing his hurt.

 

“It’s just..” Jinki wiped his wet eyes, “You sound funny.. but ador-“

 

“You have a lisp!” Jonghyun cut in and began laughing loudly again like it was the funniest joke ever.

 

Minho’s eyes narrowed. He masked his embarrassment with anger.

 

Jinki shoved Jonghyun who was sitting up now right back to the floor. “He meant to say you have a cute lisp. Minho-yah~.”

 

Minho couldn’t hide his flush though, especially when Jinki reached out to touch him knee. Jonghyun was still laughing, but calmed enough to shove at Minho.

 

“It is pretty cute,” Jonghyun admited with a shrug, then smiled.

 

Minho lowered his head, face feeling much too hot now. 

 

Jinki bent down trying to see Minho’s hidden face. “Minho-yah?”

 

“Mmm?” Minho didn’t raise his head. 

 

Jinki was smiling big when he sweetly said, “Say it again~.”

 

Minho hesitated, but when the hand on his knee squeezed, Minho lifted his head and looked at his hyungs while repeating the word once more for them.

 

Jonghyun and Jinki laughed loudly again and Minho pouted for real between his red cheeks.
