“Hi!” Jisung was grinning brightly while he sat down next to his best friend. Yesterday, he spent many hours to write a letter for the anonymous boy. He hadn’t had answered him until today and he felt kind of bad about it. The boy was nothing but sweet to him and Jisung decided that he would answer him, giving him a chance. To be honest, he still wasn’t over his crush…he wasn’t sure whether he would ever be able to overcome it.

“Jisungie! What did you get today?” Hyunjin was watching him with his big eyes, pleading him to spill the tea. A big smile bloomed on his face at the thought of his present.

“You got a present, don’t try to deny it! I can see your big, fat smile.” Felix pointed a finger to his face and Jisung pushed it away.

“Well…he gifted me a stuffed squirrel, telling me that it reminded him of me.” A light blush was dusting his cheeks, his eyes shining brightly.

“Really? That’s cute?” Seungmin was eying him skeptically.

“Don’t worry, Minnie. It’s really cute and his letter was also very sweet.” Jisung was shyly looking at the table and didn’t dare to look up.

“I swear you are the cutest, Jisung.” At the mention of his name, the squirrel like boy looked up, gifting his Woojin hyung a sweet smile.

 

As he was about to avert his eye, he caught a glimpse of Minho. The boy was clutching his stomach, his face twisted in a painful frown. Jisung wasn’t going to lie. He was so worried about his hyung for the last few days but he couldn’t show it. Jisung’s thought were so deep that he didn’t notice how Minho caught him staring. The squirrel like boy was expecting any kind of reaction like anger, disgust or even a glare but he wasn’t prepared for a small smile. Shocked, he looked away and tried to stop the flush that colored his whole face.

 

 

Minho on the other hand clutched his stomach tighter when Jisung looked away. He knew that the boy hadn’t forgave him but this short glimpse was the longest interaction they had for the last few days. The dancer didn’t want to admit it but he started to miss the attention…well, he probably just missed the boy. He was sitting in front of him but was yet so far away…

“So, did you decide whether you want to answer him or not?” Chan asked while he stole fries from Changbin’s plate.

“Uhm…I kinda did today haha.” Jisung scratched his neck nervously and bit his lips.

“OMG, what did you write?!” Hyunjin grabbed the poor boy’s arm and shook him excitedly.

“Nothing special…I just answered some of his questions. Eh…yeah, that’s it.”

“You can’t just answer this vaguely!”

 

While Felix and co. were pestering the boy about details, Minho felt how his lunch wanted to leave his body. He jumped on his feet, held his left hand in front of his mouth to stop any accidents and sprinted to the bathroom. The friends watched him surprised and tried to understand the situation.

“, I think he’s going to throw up.” Chan said and looked like he tried to ease his own stomach. Without a thought, Changbin stood up, took their bags and turned to his friends.
“I’m going to take him home and force him to see a doctor. See you tomorrow.” With a last nod, he stepped out of the cafeteria and made his way to the bathroom.

He could hear the gagging sounds even before he opened the door. Taking a deep breath, Changbin opened the door and tried to breathe through his mouth.

“Minho, I’m here. Let it all out.”

 

The dancer made his way out of the bathroom stall after two minutes and Changbin was sure that he never was so much relieved to see his friend.

“You look like .” He said, giving him a small smile. Minho chuckled lightly but clutched the sink with shaking hands.

“I’m taking you home and were going to talk about that.” Surprisingly, the sick boy nodded feebly and started to wash his face and mouth.

The two friends left the bathroom together and made their way out of the school.

 

“Thank you, Bin.” Said boy nudged his friend lightly.

“Stop acting so softly. I’m going to throw up.”

“Please don’t bring that up now.” Minho groaned and closed his eyes for a few seconds.

“You know that the feeling which is eating you up is called jealousy, right?” After letting that sentence out, Changbin quickly opened his mouth to shut Minho’s defense down. But he closed his mouth when his friend only sighed deeply.

“Let’s talk about that after a nap?” Dumbfounded, the small boy nodded until he realized a detail.

“Wait, you mean I’m allowed to enter your house?” A weak smirk adorned Minho’s lip.

“Yes, and now shut up before I change my mind.”

 

The remaining walk was silent as the boys were drowned in their own thoughts. Minho knew that letting Changbin in his life meant an even deeper friendship but he was ready for that. For the first time in his short life, he wanted to talk about his feelings, to share his thoughts and maybe get a hug.

 

 

Minho felt how he relaxed a bit when his cats made their way to welcome him.

“You have three cats? I thought you only have two.” Changbin said as he kneeled down to pet them.

“Yeah, I found Dori a few days ago and kept her since she was a stray.” The cats followed them on their way to Minho’s room. Said boy groaned as soon as his body made contact with his bed.

“Do you want to take a nap, too?” A big yawn left his mouth and he smiled when Soonie laid next to him.

“Uh, yes.” Still overwhelmed with Minho’s sudden display of softness, he laid down next to his friend and tucked himself in.

“I think I miss him.” The dancer whispered while he yawned again.

“I know, let’s talk about this later.” To say that Changbin was proud of his friend was an understatement. Finally, the cold boy opened up. He smiled brightly when Doongie purred next to him and closed his eyes. What a morning!

When Minho returned to school after two days of staying at home, he was thrilled to see his friends again. Well, maybe some of them more than the others but you got his point, right? His mother even dragged him to the doctor although he assured her that he was ok. After a long and deep talk with Changbin, he felt like a big burden was taken off his shoulders. His friend told him that it was ok to be sad about a loss of a friend and that Minho was allowed to be stressed about it. He stepped into the cafeteria with raised spirits which only left him when he realized that Jisung wasn’t at school today. He really wanted to know where he was but he wasn’t ready to ask his friends. Admitting his feelings to Changbin was different. He knew him for years and trusted him. Well, he also trusted the other boys but not with his feelings. Not yet.

 

Minho felt like the friends laid a plot against him since nobody mentioned a word of Jisung during the whole lunch. He was biting his lips and shaking his legs until his phone buzzed.

 

[1:34 PM]

 

BabyBinnie: stop

BabyBinnie: the whole ground is shaking

BabyBinnie: he’s sick

BabyBinnie: wasn’t here yesterday too

 

MeanHoe: thank you

 

 

Minho glanced at his friend and stopped worrying his lips. He was kind of assured since he knew where Jisung was but now he was worried about his state. Since he knew the annoying boy, he never witnessed him being sick or even being in pain. Minho was sure that Jisung wouldn’t skip school if he wouldn’t be really sick. Or did something happen with his secret admirer? He really wanted to ask Changbin but the boy was busy with his boyfriend. Well…he had to wait whether he wanted or not.

Minho sighed deeply when he walked home. Changbin also didn’t have more information about Jisung’s wellbeing. At least he told him that nothing happened with his secret admirer.

Deep in thoughts, Minho glanced at his door and decided that he didn’t want to go home yet. He wanted to stroll around and coincidentally his way led him to the area where Jisung lived. When he passed Jisung’s house, he stopped for a second but continued his stroll. He couldn’t visit him right now. What should he even say? ‘Hi, what’s up?’ He shook his head and walked for another ten minutes before he headed back home.

When Jisung’s home was in his sight again, his steps slowed down without his permission. He was about to turn around and worry in his room when somebody stopped him.

“Oh, hi Minho. How are you?” Minho came face to face with an older version of the squirrel.

“Uhm...hyung, hello.” He hurried to bow down and stopped when Younghyun patted his back.

“I guess you’re here to see Jisung?” The boy stood there with wide eyes and didn’t know what to say.

“He’ll be really happy since he’s not feeling well lately.” It wasn’t what he said but the look in Younghyun’s eyes convinced him to follow him inside. Minho had a feeling that he also was the cause of Jisung’s bad mood.

“Hello, who are you?” An elderly woman smiled brightly at him and Minho bowed deeply.

“Hello, I’m Lee Minho. A … friend of Jisung.” If she noticed his hesitance, she didn’t let it show.

“Jisung is upstairs. I wanted to bring him tea, you could take it with you.” The boy just nodded and took the tray out of her hands. Gulping, he turned to the direction where Younghyun pointed and hoped that Jisung would be asleep.

 

 

But of course, luck wasn’t on his side. “Come in.” Minho heard Jisung’s hoarse voice and noticed how his hands began to shake lightly.

“Mom, my nose is still stuffed, I can’t breathe.” The sick boy whined quietly and only stopped when he didn’t get an answer.

“Hello, Jisung.” Minho noticed how weird his voice sounded.

“M-Minho hyung?” Jisung’s naturally big eyes were wide opened, Minho could tell that the boy was genuinely surprised. “What are you doing here?” Said boy opened his mouth but closed it afterwards. He didn’t know what to say. Well, what was he doing here?!
