Red String | Minsung

열다섯

Jisung woke up, feeling sore. He opened his eyes and realized he was lying on the ground. Jisung then realized that he was just sleeping. Did I really fall asleep with Minho here? How?

He tried to sit up, but couldn't. He felt something holding onto him. He furrowed in confusion. He turned to look at what was clinging onto him. His eyes widened and he pushed the brunette off of him, slapping his face in the process. He moved as far away as he could from the older. "What the fuck!" Jisung exclaimed.

Somehow, Minho managed to sleep through that. Jisung checked the time. It was 10pm. The blonde was very confused to what had happened. He slowly walked back over to Minho and crouched down. He poked his face. The brunette didn't react. Jisung forgot that it was hard to wake him up. He poked his face again. Minho's face scrunched up. Jisung fell back on his butt, startled.

Minho reached his arms out in the blonde's direction, grabbing him, which made him make a squeak sound. Minho managed to cling onto him again while sleeping. Only this time, Minho's face was way too close to his. Jisung's face turned bright red. What the hell am I gonna do now? The sleeping Minho put his leg over Jisung. Jisung was about to explode from embarrassment at that point.

He then got the brilliant idea to blow on Minho's face. The older reacted instantly, his nose scrunching up. He lifted up his arm and slapped Jisung's face, trying to push it away. "Ow!"

Minho finally woke up. He realized he was very close the younger. He pushed him away, standing up quickly. He regretted that though, because he ended up getting a really bad head rush. He tried to grab a hold of something to stop him from falling. Jisung quickly grabbed his arm so he wouldn't fall and wake up his parents.

Minho managed to stabilize himself. "What the fuck was that?" Minho spoke in a raspy voice. "I don't know, why the fuck were you clinging onto me and why were we sleeping?" Jisung whisper yelled. "It's your fault! You clung to me and fell asleep and no matter what I tried I couldn't get you off!" He defended. Jisung's face turned red, but Minho luckily couldn't see it because it was pretty dark in the room.

Jisung thought back to earlier. "Well, you made me have a panic attack!" He retorted. Minho opened his mouth to say something but closed it. He thought for a while before responding. "Look, I'm sorry about that." He scratched the back of his head. "Wow. Minho, apologizing? Didn't know that was possible." The squirrel snickered. "Jisung seriously! I didn't think that would happen and I feel bad for it. You're making me not want to feel sorry."

"I guess I accept your apology. What did you do though? I kinda zoned out." He asked. Minho paused for a little before responding. "Well, I didn't know what to do at first, but I remembered that one time when we were friends you had an anxiety attack. I remembered what I did to calm you down." Minho explained, slightly embarrassed. "And? What was that?"

Minho shook his head. "Just forget about it okay? I said I'm sorry. And wait, we still need to check the assignment!" He exclaimed as quietly as he could. He grabbed his laptop and opened it, logging on. He went onto the browser and checked the recently closed tabs and opened it. "Oh thank god, it saved." He sighed in relief. "So you yelled at me for nothing?"

"Hey, well I didn't know if it saved or not. There was a chance it didn't." He replied. "You couldn't check?" Jisung huffed. "I was too angry."

"We might as well finish it now. I'm not really tired since we slept and it's almost done." Jisung suggested. "Yeah,I guess so." He agreed. Jisung felt weird. Minho was kind of talking to him like a normal person and it was strange for him. Not to mention he was CLINGING ONTO HIM not even 10 minutes ago. Jisung shook away his thoughts as they resumed their work.

They finally got their assignment done at around 12:30am. "Ugh, finally. I was about to throw everything down the stairs." Jisung exclaimed. He lied down on his back. "What're we gonna do now? I can't exactly go home at this time." Minho brought up. "I don't know. I want to go to sleep though." He said as he stood up, walking over to his bed. "What am I gonna do?" Minho asked. "Go sleep on the couch or something."

"What? No! What if I wake up your parents by accident? And I don't want to have any awkward encounters with your parents." He exclaimed. "Then sleep on the floor." Jisung said as he flopped onto his comfy bed. "Fine. I will." He huffed, lying down on the hard floor.

Jisung felt bad for some reason. He normally wouldn't give a shit about Minho but his brain was making him feel bad. He did help me with my anxiety attack. But he was also the one who caused it! But he did apologize. But I hate him! Jisung tried to shake the thoughts out of his mind but it wasn't working. He wouldn't be able to sleep with those thoughts running through his mind.

"Ugh fine. You can sleep on my bed and I'll sleep on the couch or something." Jisung said, sitting up. "I can't just take your bed!" Minho replied. "Why, you don't want to be rude? I thought that's how you always are." Jisung snickered. "I don't want to sleep in your bed because it's yours. Plus I can be nice! Just not to you." "Allllright then." Jisung laughed. Minho huffed.

They were silent for a few minutes, but Jisung could hear Minho rolling around on the floor every once in a while because he was uncomfortable. Jisung still felt bad. "Ugh, Minho just come here. I can put pillows in between us so you don't end up clinging to me again."

"Hey, it was you who clung to me!" Minho whisper yelled. "Oh well, it doesn't matter! I know the floor is uncomfortable so just come here." Jisung sighed. "Fine."

Jisung grabbed most of his pillows and put it in between them. Minho climbed onto the bed and lied down. "Goodnight shithead." "Goodnight dumbass."

Jisung layed there, unable to sleep. The two of them were actually kind of getting along, other than the usual insults. For some reason Jisung didn't mind hanging out with Minho, but of course he wouldn't admit that. Minho may have fucked up earlier, but he was actually being sort of nice for a change. It made Jisung feel things that he didn't understand.

Minho fell asleep. Jisung wanted to sleep, he was tired and in a daze, but he couldn't. Gotta love insomnia. He rolled so he was facing Minho. He couldn't see him because of the tower of pillows that was blocking them. He sat up to look at the other male. He looked peaceful. His hair was disheveled and his mouth was slightly open. Jisung unknowingly had a small smile on his face as he stared at the brunette.

Jisung was startled when Minho suddenly took a deep breath and rolled in Jisung's direction. He didn't know if he was awake or not. Minho grabbed one of the pillows and held it close to him, causing the pillows on-top of the one he took to topple over onto Jisung. Jisung huffed. He noticed that Minho was really clingy when he was sleeping. It was weird. He pushed the pillows over onto Minho. The squirrel boy grabbed his phone and checked the time. It was 1:15. The blonde groaned. He just wanted to fall asleep but of course his brain didn't let him.

He heard Minho shuffling around again. Jisung tried to stay as quiet as he could in case Minho was awake. He then felt Minho's arm around his waist. The blonde tensed. The stack of pillows was useless. The sleeping Minho pulled Jisung closer to him, causing him to feel embarrassed and annoyed. Why was he like this?

Jisung didn't know what to do. The older male practically wrapped himself around him. "Minho?" Jisung called out in a whisper. All he could hear was Minho's steady breathing in response. He sighed, knowing he wouldn't be able to get out of the brunette's hold on him. Jisung lied there with his enemy clinging onto him. He never would've expected this to happen.

Despite him telling himself he hated it, he felt comfortable and warm. In fact, he started to drift into sleep. Jisung just accepted it as if it were fate and drifted into dreamland.
