Minseok's round eyes widened a bit more at Jongin's words and somehow his heart opened up for this strangely cute but handsome dongsaeng. His chest suddenly felt really warm and cozy.

''I don't need...to be protected.. I'm your hyung after all..'', Minseok mumbled and huffed quietly, puffing up his cheeks a bit while crossing his arms.

He heard Jongin's soft laugh and then felt a finger which was carefully caressing his cheek, smoothing out the puffed skin.

''But I want to...and I'm taller than you'' At that Minseok put on a fake shocked expression, while playfully glaring up at a brightly grinning Jongin, who was just winking back at him.

''Aish, you brat...''

''Aww come on hyung, tell me you like it. You like to be protected by me, right? Say it-'', Jongin laughed but stumbled back a bit when Minseok pushed against his chest shortly, saving him from the ball who flew by a few seconds later.

Both looked at each other stunned. Minseok dumbfounded by his reflexes and Jongin completely speechless that for the first time in his life, someone had distracted him so much that he'd almost gotten hit by the ball.

''Uhm.. thank you, I guess''

''No problem, I guess''

Both shortly smiled at each other a bit awkwardly before finally averting their concentration from each other to the game.

For the rest of the whole game, Jongin was protecting Minseok from every ball and every possible hit and danger, until it was only the two of them left on the field.

Jongin turned to Minseok and suddenly pulled him into a tight hug, grinning like an idiot and istead of squirming around or feeling unseasy or blushing - okay well, he still blushed - Minseok hugged him back happily. They jumped and laughed while celebrating their victory.

''We won we won!!'', they chanted and high-fived each other proudly and for the first time in his life Minseok looked forward to the next time he had P.E with Jongin.

They walked back to the locker room to get their towels and as they made their way over to the showers, it dawned on Minseok what was about to come. He wasn't ready for this, he didn't want Jongin to laugh at him or something.

Even if he knew that his dongsaeng wouldn't do that, he was still scared and so he hurried over to one of the single shower stalls, hurriedly slipping inside before Jongin could hold him back.

''Seokkie-hyung are you okay in there?'', came Jongin's loud question and Minseok buried his face in his hands, holding back an embarrassed whimper.

''Yeah... just need some time alone..'', he mumbled back and hoped Jongin wouldn't ask any further.

''You're not doing anything dirty in there, right hyung? ...Because it's just me and you left in this room...''

Minseok perked up when Jongin's voice came closer slowly, his cheeks flaming red at what the other had just said.

''NO...no.. how..w-why would I.. no.. what are you thinking?'', Minseok stammered and barely kept himself from banging his head against the shower tiles.

''Come on, you can tell Jonginnie. Or you can just come out of there and shower here with me'', Jongin tried to lure Minseok outside but when the chubby boy saw the door opening slightly, he immediately slammed it shut again and leaned against it to keep it this way.

''No, really I really don't want you to see me !!'', he whined pleadingly. In fact he just wasn't ready to see the other , because earlier Jongin's muscles had clearly been visible due to his white tank top.

They don't really need to know that I'm gay...

''Minseok?''

Before Jongin was able to utter another single word, a new voice appeared what had both of them shutting up immediately. Carefully Minseok stuck his head out from the shower stall to look for whoever was calling him.

''Y-Yes?'', he asked cautiously, forcingly avoiding eye-contact with Jongin who was staring at him, still trying to peek inside and not caring about the person who had just disturbed them.

When it was Kris, who appeared in the doorframe, both boys openly gaped at him.

Minseok's already flaming cheeks felt like they'd burn off any second from all the embarrassment and Jongin's expression darkened, a frown appearing on his handsome face.

''What do you want?'', he hissed.

Kris averted his intense gaze from Minseok's adorable face to stare right back at his current opponent, giving him the special edition of his ultimate face.

''Is that how you talk to your elders, Kim Jongin? Well, whatever... I'll take over from here'', he said nonchalantly before looking back at Minseok. ''Go get ready, so we can start our tour'' Surprisingly his voice had softened a bit, when he directed his words at Minseok, who was just able to nod before disappearing in the shower stall again.

Jongin crossed his arms and glared at the taller boy for a few moments before getting his cool attitude back on.

''Seokkie-hyung, I'll talk to you tomorrow... Have a ...nice day'', he said softly and added a mumbled ''if that is even possible with that person...'' before walking past Kris and out of the shower room.

''BYE JONGIN-AH... thanks for today!'', Minseok yelled back and turned off the shower, wrapping the towel tightly around his body before sticking his head out again.

''C-Could you maybe hand me my clothes?'', he asked and was met with the sight of Kris still standing in the doorway, holding his clothes in one hand.

''Why don't you come over here and get them?''

whoop whoop !! I know a lot you guys wanted to see Suho and Chen appearing but I didn't really give Kai much time with our little bun he punished me for not doing so ..and because of this I had to add a bit to their story..I hope you still liked it!
