" you'll be happier this way. "
" Im only happier with you. "

requested by : anonymous luv

it was of no surprise that being an idol is quite the tough job. despite having tight schedules and having to maintain and idol image constantly, they were still able to have fun in the midst of hectic timetables in preparation for the comeback.

the boys were shooting an episode for kingdom week. each of them were assigned different missions and roles.

being their usual selves, some of the members started to reveal their missions and practically begged the others to help them out. jisung's mission was to measure Minho's middle finger and his toe, which he only did after the mission was over.

" w-what? c-chan hyung's shoulders are 54cm ~ "
hyunjin exclaimed, covering in mouth in shock.

after their mission, they were brought into a secret room, for the main event. members were called to the separate room, where they were either a money catcher or buddy catcher. there were 8 cards that were arranged myself on the table, awaiting for the members to pick them.

" o-oh "
felix almost screamed when the role he picked was money catcher. he bit his fist slightly to suppress his amazement, as he showed the camera his role.

" hahah... it's me! "
jisung held up the card triumphantly, slightly over the top at the fun and challenging role he had to play. he was the money catcher alongside Felix.

the two chosen members avoided suspicion in every way that they could, trying to be the most honest in games and more.

it was all good, jisung and minho subtly interacting, trying not to let the camera pick up their actions. minho crossed his hands over jisung's, hoping that the other member's voices would allow for the viewer's attention to shift away from them. they smiled at each other while minho winked at jisung, causing him to hit Minho's chest lightly .

good and bad both evolve in our neurology and our cultures. although the  good will thrive in any environment that favours altruism, not everything went in their favour.

you see, jisung had the biggest crush on minho. there was something in the way minho laughed that reminded him of his better self. minho had the kind of creative brain that brings such magic and interest to life, one that enjoys the sparking of ideas. jisung had a crush on minho, one that could last as such gentle admiration does.

deep down, under an unspoken circumstance, jisung knew that minho loved him back just as much. the thing was, minho was too shy to confess to jisung. all jisung wanted was a sweet confession from minho, a heartfelt one where all the beautiful backdrops of cascading waterfalls, majestic places were not needed. all jisung wanted was a sincere confession, only then, could they truly be together.

jisung being the witty, has already cooked up a plan before the show had started. he was going to get close to hyunjin, especially when minho was around. jisung really outdid himself. on behalf of his money catcher and determination to get minho jealous, he went out of his way to pick the room he suspected that hyunjin would be in.

minho, was of course not that ignorant. he watched the younger with sharp eyes, observing how he inched closer to hyunjin at every opportunity he got. even going as far as rooming with the longhaired male. he decided to just let jisung continue his plan, wanting to see what he had in mind. to say, jisung's actions did hurt minho. the younger was playing with his heartstrings and pushing at all the buttons. some part of minho broke off and faded as he watched with a hurt expression on his face as jisung leaned his head against hyunjin in front of him.

minho darted his eyes and landed them on the greenery, his fists slightly tensed up as he felt pools of jealousy burning a hole in his stomach.

the boys were gathered outside, awaiting for the last activity for their shooting. after a chaotic discussion and heated debate about who the money catchers might be, the boys eventually settled down upon the staff's command.

golden streamers were now hanging on the fence , as balloons were placed around them. everyone was especially tensed but excited, eager to find out whether their suspicions were correct.

for the last segment, the band members had to choose the member that the trust, a box that would reveal their role. the younger ones were not convinced that minho and Chan were innocent, immediately excluding them from the activity.
the two of them poured but still managed to form a smile at the sight of their dongsaengs.

" hmm.. i trust you, h-honey! hyunjin my prince, lets get married! "
jisung said as he held out the box with slightly shaken hands. he miraculously managed to swallow his stutter, breath hitching in his throat as he watched minho cock an eyebrow at his bold statement.

Minho's eyes that were once filled with sadness was immediately replaced with jealousy, watching as jisung's smile blossomed even brighter when hyunjin returned the favour, adding sweet words and compliments. jisung readied himself, as he covered his mouth in shock, altering his voice to be slightly more high-pitched, feigning amazement and surprise. jisung's expressions made hyunjin crack up, hitting jisung's hands playfully.

chan was pretty concerned for minho, wondering why he wore an expression so threatening, questioning if minho was plotting a detailed murder in his mind. minho caught a worried Chan out of the corner of his eye, smirking and making a funny face to reassure Chan. after all, their amazing leader had enough to worry about.

indeed, minho was planning something too...

" n-no way! Felix and jisung were the money catchers?? "
hyunjin dramatically fell to the ground as his eyes widened in shock. seungmin repeatedly blinked his eyes, not sure if he heard the news correctly.
Felix was busy coddling changbin, who was betrayed, venting at the top of his lungs.

" imposter! imposter! "
jeongin exclaimed, as he pointed his fingers accusingly at the pair.

they quickly wrapped up, saying their goodbyes as the show ended. jisung felt Minho's intense glares when he was thanking their staffs for their hard work and efforts, but chose to ignore it.

he opened his room door, only to see hyunjin leaving a note behind, saying that he would be staying with jeongin instead, since the younger one wanted hus company. jisung acknowledged the note, forming a small smile at the cute tone hyunjin used. minutes after, he quickly changed out of his blue sweater that was slightly soaked with sweat, bathing and changing into a large white tee that reached mid thigh. he blew his hair dry and watched videos to occupy himself.

after drying his hair, jisung felt his stomach rumble, gastric juices sloshing around his empty cavern. he patted his stomach cutely, deciding to have a slice of cheesecake and a packet of instant ramyun to relieve his hunger.

the younger hummed softly, careful not to wake the other members that were resting in their rooms. he was about to make it past Minho's room, when he felt a pair of strong arms grab his wrist tightly, dragging him into the room, causing a surprised whimper to escape jisung's throat.

minho threw jisung on the bed roughy, watching as jisung shakily prop himself up on his knees. minho decided to tease jisung even more, letting the tense silence overwhelm jisung.

cracking under the pressure, jisung spoke up, while playing with his fingers nervously.

" I-is there something wrong, hyung? "
he whispered uncertainly, not meeting eyes with Minho's fierce ones. getting impatient, minho hooked his slender digits under jisung's chin, forcing his doe eyes on his. a blush spread all over jisung's face, as his cheeks burnt from the warm blush.

" would you like to tell me why you were flirting with hyunjin so much hm? "

Minho's brows furrowed as he crossed his arms in displeasure before him, looking down coldly on jisung.

jisung watched as tears blurred his vision, shuddering with each breath that forced itself in and out of jisung's nose. he shifted uncomfortably, before closing his eyes and confessing to minho instead.

" minho hyungie, i just wanted to get your attention! i don't even like hyunjin that way. ive had a crush on you since pre-debut. i j-just wanted to make hyung jealous so that he would want to t-to.. confess.. and..
"
jisung rambled, pausing occasionally to take in deep inhales. he was too afraid and intimidated to even look up, burrowing his head into the soft pillows.

" are you sure sungs? with him, you'll be happier this way. "
minho was rather insecure, wondering if jisung really meant it what he said in his confession.
" im only happier with you"
" please minho hyung.. "

minho enveloped jisung in a hug, breathing in the flowery fragrance of jisung's shampoo mixed with hyunjin's 50k won conditioner. ( A/N : the expensive hair treatment that hyunjin bought but was used by all the members www)

" han jisung , you've got my attention. you've got my heart,my everything. how can someone as amazing and perfect as you exist? since we met, you've always been on my mind. i hope to have you hand in mine. "
minho bit his bottom lip as he stopped mid sentence, waiting for jisung to speak.
" lee minho hyung, you've got me so hopelessly in love with you .. you've got me to feel so much happiness, bliss but also got through the good and bad with you. how can someone like you, meet someone like me? this time, it's our time, our own world to build from scratch. the only thing i haven't got is your last name~ "
jisung trailed off, exploding into hysterical giggles at the fingers that were tickling him all over. minho was so blessed, so happy to have confessed.
the two of them huddled up against one another, not ruining the precious moment they shared by initiating anything else.

such a beautiful confession, shared between two beautiful lovers, a beautiful love that starts to blossom.

nothing a little jealousy can't do.
