minho unlocked the door with the keycard, using his shoulder to push it open as his arms were occupied with their luggage. as the door swung open, jisung gently nudged minho aside, making his way into the room with his arms crossed and a pout firmly planted on his lips, still nursing his sulky mood.

minho couldn't help but chuckle at jisung's adorable sulkiness. he found it endearing when jisung sulks, and it only fueled minho's desire to tease him even more. after jisung had entered the room, minho followed suit.

jisung sat cross-legged on the single king-sized bed they would be sharing for the duration of their stay, his narrowed eyes tracking minho's every move. minho was well aware of jisung's penetrating gaze, which seemed to cut through him like a blade, a clear indication that jisung was craving attention.

however, minho decided to playfully go against jisung's wishes. he chose to ignore jisung's gaze and the small whines that escaped his lips, instead focusing on unpacking their luggage.

this proved to be the last straw for jisung. he suddenly stood up from his spot on the bed and wrapped minho in a tight backhug, softly murmuring, "why are you ignoring me?"

jisung's warm breath against minho's neck sent shivers down the latter's spine. he had anticipated that something like this might happen, but he wasn't fully prepared for it.

"i was busy unpacking our stuff, love," minho replied, pausing in his task and gently resting his hand on top of jisung's, which was wrapped around his waist tightly.

"you were teasing me," jisung retorted, his voice taking on a low and serious tone that made minho's knees go weak. this was a side of jisung that always had the power to affect minho deeply.

jisung buried his face even further into the crook of minho's neck, lightly grazing his lips before planting a series of gentle kisses along the older's neck.

minho gasped at the sensation, enjoying it, but also realizing that he didn't want them to rush into anything as soon as they arrived in japan. so, he slowly pulled away from jisung's embrace, gently freeing himself from the younger's arms. he noticed the change in jisung's mood when he did that and immediately turned to face him, cupping his cheeks and placing a soft kiss on his downturned lips, saying, "you have all my attention."

at minho's words, jisung's eyes immediately lit up. he grabbed minho's arm and gently led him to the bed, signaling for minho to lie down so they could cuddle. minho followed jisung's instructions, and the bed dipped beside him as jisung swiftly wrapped his arms around minho. the hold wasn't too tight to restrict minho's breathing, but it wasn't too loose either, making it clear that minho wasn't going anywhere.

"my very own cuddle bug," minho remarked with a soft chuckle, his back facing jisung.

"just yours," jisung replied, his head resting against minho's, his eyes closed, and his voice carrying a hint of tiredness from their flight.

"rest now, my love," minho said, noticing that jisung seemed tired. he felt the younger's hum vibrate against his neck, which made him let out a contented sigh.

as jisung dozed off, minho continued to contemplate, playing with the younger's fingers as he did.

"tomorrow..." he trailed off.

minho had planned to propose to jisung tomorrow, wanting the younger to use this day to relax. his heart raced as he continued to think about it, various possible outcomes of his proposal running through his mind.

due to his contemplations, minho had dozed off and now found himself waking up without the familiar warmth of jisung beside him. a small whine escaped from his lips as he fluttered his eyes open, raising himself from the bed, and looking around the room to find jisung.

as he did, he noticed that their luggage had already been unpacked and neatly arranged. this realization made minho abruptly stand up in panic, and he immediately began searching through one of the bags.

minho sighed in relief as he found the box still safely tucked away in his bag. however, the thought that jisung might have seen it crossed his mind, causing his hands to turn clammy and his heart to race with alarm. he was snapped back to his senses by a soft voice calling out, "darling, are you awake?"

jisung emerged from the bathroom, a trail of steam billowing behind him. he was already dressed in a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants when he stepped out, his eyes filled with concern as he saw minho's distressed state.

"what's wrong, min?" he asked, approaching minho, who was now kneeling on the floor.

as jisung approached, he finally noticed that minho looked alarmed, probably due to something concerning their luggage. "did you forget something?" he asked softly.

at that moment, minho finally found his voice. he quickly zipped the bag closed, not wanting jisung to see the box if he hadn't already. turning to jisung, he asked, his voice trembling, "love, did you open this bag?"

jisung furrowed his eyebrows at minho's question, sensing the unease in the older's voice. "no, why? i thought it was your personal belongings, so i didn't bother to open it. i just opened the ones with our clothes in them," he replied honestly.

minho let out an audible sigh of relief as he stood up from his position. "okay, thank you, love," he said with a small smile.

jisung couldn't resist teasing a bit and asked, "why? is there something in there i shouldn't see?" he playfully glanced at the bag behind minho before the older blocked his view.

minho quickly responded, "no, it's just that all my important stuff is in there, and i didn't want to risk losing any of it."

jisung frowned slightly, feeling a bit hurt. "so you think i would just lose your important stuff?" he questioned.

seeing jisung's frown, minho immediately approached him, gently placing his hands on jisung's shoulders to explain, "no, love, that's not what i meant. i just didn't want to burden you with my things."

although suspicious of minho's behavior and explanation, jisung decided to drop the topic. he was curious about what might be in the bag, but he didn't want to upset minho by pressing further. instead, he nodded and said, "okay, fine. anyway, go get ready. felix recommended a place for us to eat in this area," he beamed, encouraging minho to change clothes so they could try out the new restaurant.

"alright, alright, just wait for me. i'll be quick," minho replied, grabbing his clothes and heading into the bathroom to get ready.

the place felix had recommended to jisung turned out to be worth it. the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the interior of the restaurant was warm and inviting. it wasn't overly luxurious, and that suited the two of them perfectly.

now, they were walking hand in hand back to the hotel, their matching beaded bracelets adding a special touch to their wrists. these beaded bracelets weren't the same ones they used to have. sometime over the past few years, jisung had accidentally broken his bracelet. he had been devastated by it, almost on the verge of tears as he explained to minho what had happened, fearing that minho might think he hadn't taken care of his pair.

minho, however, wasn't too upset about it. but since he knew how much jisung cherished that accessory, he had bought a new pair of matching bracelets for them to wear. yet, jisung had hesitated, expressing his desire for the original one he had made for minho and him, considering it special. not wanting to further upset jisung, minho had purchased a bead kit and recreated a bracelet similar to the one jisung had crafted for the both of them years ago. at that moment, jisung had brightened up. while it wasn't the exact same bracelet he had worn for years, it still held sentimental value, and he proudly wore it alongside minho, who continued to wear the original pair that had remained strong through the years.

jisung swayed their intertwined hands and asked, "where to tomorrow, darling?"

minho replied with a warm smile, "oh, don't worry, love. i've got everything planned." jisung turned his head toward minho with excited eyes, a wide smile gracing his lips as he hopped along the sidewalk. minho admired jisung's enthusiasm and thought to himself, 'you just have to say yes.'
