Chapter 13 - Chapter thirteen

As Silas closes and locks the door behind them, Jiwon is already walking to their room.

"I'm going to go change my clothes. If I can't walk around without pants, at least jogging." As he called this to Silas he bumped into the wall. 

Or that was what he thought at first.

Until the wall said "If you want to walk around without pants so badly, go ahead. I wouldn't mind." Startled, Jiwon looked up, straight into Minseok's eyes.

The older one looked back at him, smirking. Only then did Jiwon realize that his hands were on the elder's bare chest.

As 'support against the wall'.

He quickly withdrew them and rushed towards their bedroom with flushed cheeks.

"Never mind, I'm okay with wearing pants." Minseok ran his hand through his hair and walked toward the bedroom.

Jiwon was lying on the bed with his arms outstretched and his face in his pillow.

When Minseok opened the closet door, Jiwon was startled and watched, even redder than before thanks to the pillow, the boy picking out clothes. "What are you doing?"

Minseok turned around and looked at the boy who was on his knees on his bed. "Putting on clothes after taking a shower? Because, unlike a certain person in this apartment, I don't like walking around naked."

Jiwon tried his best not to look at the other person's abs, but it was virtually impossible.

He felt nauseous, happy and confused at the same time. As always when he was around Minseok , he felt his heart rate go up.

"I don't walk around naked...I just like it more to not-wear pants."

"Mhm, sure," the older answered, smirking, again.

As Minseok was picking out clothes, Jiwon quickly got up and wanted to leave the room. Just when he was almost at the door, Minseok stopped him.

"Didn't you want to change your pants?" Jiwon's cheeks glowed warm red again.

"No, don't need to anymore," he could feel Minseok approaching, closing the distance between them.

"So Mr. Extrovert is ashamed? Tch. Don't worry, I've seen more than enough underpants in my life...."

"What the...First of all, I'm not extroverted, second of all, I'm not ashamed, I just don't feel like it anymore. And your underwear thingy? I don't care about it."

Then Minseok started laughing.

Jiwon, who still had his back to Minseok , turned and looked at the other questioningly. Their faces only centimetres apart. "Why are you laughing?"

"I just find it funny how the noisiest person I've ever met, claims not to be extroverted." Jiwon's cheeks flushed red.

"I'm not noisy! I'm just comfortable around my friends~" Minseok licked his lip and took a step forward.

"Didn't know we were friends."

"Didn't know you could talk this much."

"Don't change the subject," Minseok commands.

"S-sorry." 

Minseok was smirking, again. Can't he do anything else but smirk?

"Shouldn't you be getting dressed or something..." Still smirking, Minseok turned around and walked towards the closet, and walked inside.

Jiwon was confused for a second until he remembered it was a walk-in closet. 

Minseok came out of the closet and threw his clothes on his bed. 

His back facing Jiwon, he took off his towel and put on his underpants.

Jiwon literally felt his cheeks burning, but he couldn't take his eyes away from what was happening in front of him.

His heartbeat, which already beats much faster when he is around the older one, now reached an almost unachievable speed.

Once his underpants were on, Minseok turned around, throwing Jiwon an innocent smile. He catches the other's gaze and holds it until his pants are on.

Once on, he casts his gaze to the ground, smiling. Picks up his T-shirt from the bed, puts it on and sits down on his bed to put on his socks.

All dressed up, he gets up and walks to Jiwon's closet. "May I?" 

The other nods, unable to say anything out of embarrassment and being aware of his blush.

Minseok grabs a pair of sweatpants from the closet and throws them over his shoulders. He closes the doors and walks toward Jiwon.

Jiwon felt as if under hypnosis and he didn't even know why.

Minseok took the other's forearm in his left hand and walked back to his bed, taking Jiwon with him. There he sat down.

Jiwon was still standing in front of him.

He looked up and into the younger's eyes. His hands slowly but surely went up.

Jiwon's eyes shot from Minseok's eyes to Minseok's hands and back to his eyes. When Minseok's hands were on his pants he asked, panicked, "What are you doing?"

"Well, apparently you're not capable of changing your clothes, so I thought you might need some help with it." In shock, Jiwon continued to look at Minseok.

Mesmerized by the older's beauty he forgot about everything around him.

Completely forgot what the other was doing.

Only when he felt the cold against his upper legs go to his lower legs, did he snap back to reality.

"Can you please lift your feet? Otherwise, I can't take your pants off." When he heard the older's voice again he was startled a little and tried to take a step back. But since his pants were around his ankles, that didn't go too smoothly.

He fell backwards, right onto his bed.

Minseok looked confused at Jiwon with his pants in his hands. "Well, that's also a way to get out of your pants I guess. Do you also need help with putting on your sweatpants?"

"No, no I don't. Not at all." How could he be so cool just now? What if Silas walked in while he was UNDRESSING ME? Imagine what he would think was going on...

Minseok was laughing. "So you only need help to undress? Good to know." It was almost like the blush on Jiwon's cheeks were something permanent. What does he mean by that?

After saying this Minseok stood up, self-done.
