More than OnceThe moment Jinwoo opened the door, Mino lets himself in even before Jinwoo utters a word and walks toward the couch. He cheerfully exclaims, "You have to empty everything, hyung! I will not let you sleep until we finish this!"
Jinwoo, left hanging from the opened door, turned his body towards Mino and followed him with relief in his eyes and a loud beating heart. However, Jinwoo's relief has turned into worry. With all the years Jinwoo spent on observing Mino, it doesn't take a second for him to notice Mino's uneven gait even when Mino was trying so hard to hide it. He hurriedly goes to Mino's side and grabs his arm, "Hey, you hurt yourself didn't you? Lean on me. You shouldn't put force on your hurting ankle."
Jinwoo wraps his arm around Mino's waist while Mino puts his arm over Jinwoo's shoulder. Grateful and a little bit moved, Mino shyly puts his weight on his tiny hyung and whispered a soft, "Thanks."

Jinwoo comes back with the cold spray in his hand. He lifts Mino's leg to his lap and sprays it on Mino's ankle, "Is it okay now? Take care of yourself better."
Jinwoo's cold hands have unusually made Mino's body hot. He is liking the sensation of Jinwoo's soft, cold hands over his skin but tries to make Jinwoo not to notice. When Jinwoo finishes applying pain reliever, he awkwardly places down his leg from Jinwoo's lap and says, "I will. Don't worry."
