It would mean more for some reason in his head. Some dumb declaration of love. Jisung would probably tease him later.
Minho had managed to convince Chan to take the others out somewhere. He didn’t say why but the leader always had this knowing look in his eyes. The same look he’s had since he and Jisung first met almost 2 years ago it was Valentine’s Day he had to have their first date on this day.
Chan always loved to tease them both, it was never outright teasing but the way he would nudge them together ever so subtly during dance practice videos or in the form. The looks they both got, the knowing smirk or grin. Minho could remember getting so frustrated when he was chilling with Jisung on the couch. The younger lounging on him while watching a film, and Chan would just sway in giving them a smirk that of course Jisung didn’t understand but Minho did very much get it.
Chan got a pillow thrown at his head that evening.
And he got it thrown back straight into his face. He wouldn’t do that again.
Minho wasn’t ever really mad at the older, he really was the catalyst of him growing some balls and planning on asking Jisung on a date. He was even the reason he was more confident in his flirting in the first place. The leader would push them together at any point in the day, guide his arm to wrap around Jisung’s shoulders and just overall get closer to the younger.
It wasn’t hard getting close with Jisung, despite the others pushback to everyone. Minho recognised he wasn’t just being an asshole, he realised the younger was struggling before debut and still was. So he made his own personal decision to help him, big or small. And as he did that the small fluttering in his stomach slowly turned into bigger feelings that he just couldn’t contain anymore. It felt like if he held it back anymore his body would just explode.
What he didn’t expect however was Jisung being the one to explode first. Truthfully he should have seen it coming with his explosive personality sometimes. During their usual hang out after everyone else had gone to bed, cuddled up on the couch Jisung had let out a huff before pressing their lips together before freaking the fuck out while Minho had just sat there. Maybe he didn’t need Chan’s teasing after all to grow some balls. Jisung clearly beat him to it.
He chucked to himself as he remembered it, putting the cloth on the table. After calming Jisung down, he asked the younger one on a date. Nothing fancy he had said, just dinner and a film.
And despite saying nothing fancy here he was grabbing candles, flowers and making the best meal he could in their tiny kitchen. He was determined to make this the best date ever.
He was plating the food when he heard Jisung in the bedroom, he took a deep breathe and tried not to panic. He needed to get anything finished before the other walked in. He quickly set the plates down and shoved everything into the sink before lighting the candles “come on come on” he mumbled to himself. He let out a sigh of relief as he finished.
Just on time, Minho looked over to the bedroom door hearing it open and smiled bashfully “Hey Sungie. Welcome to our date”
Jisung stared at the table with wide eyes, his cheeks going incredibly red but of course his lips turned into his usual (beautiful) heart shaped smile “Hyung. Is this for us?” His voice wobbled a little
The table had what it seemed an expensive table cloth on it (he borrowed it from his parents), a vase of flowers sat in the middle, two fancy candles (borrowed from his parents) and two fancy plates (again borrowed) filled with Jisung’s favourite food
“Of course” he smiles brightly, even a little proudly. He walks over and gently takes Jisung’s hands and guides him over “only the best for you Sungie” he says softly
Jisung looked like he was about to cry at any moment. He was so overwhelmed in the most perfect way. “You really did all this for me? I didn’t even dress up hyung” he whines softly as he was guided to sit down, looking down at his comfy trousers and shirt.
“You didn’t need to dress up. I didn’t want you too anyway. I like you for you, not your ability to look fancy. You’re cute all comfy anyway” he says with a smile as he sits himself down too “and of course I did this for you. It’s our first date after all and sadly I can’t take you to an expensive restaurant without us getting caught so I thought why don’t I make the expensive restaurant at the dorm. Chan took everyone else out somewhere. Dunno where don’t care but it’s just us two tonight” he explains
Jisung smiled, his entire body felt warm and gooey. He was so in love with Minho already “you’re amazing Min” he says softly
“So are you. Now eat up” he motions to the food “it’s your favourite” he looks proud again.
The younger smiles brightly and grabs his fork to eat before his eyes widen “this is amazing. My own personal chef” he says cheekily making Minho roll his eyes fondly “am I wrong? You always cook for me no matter what and you’re the one who does all the cooking whenever we go to bbq places.” He points out with a laugh.
“Maybe you’re a little right,” he chuckles, “but I really do enjoy cooking for you. You get this little sparkle in your eyes” he says completely enamoured as he looks at him. The way his eyes crinkle up when he laughs, the full body reaction. God he was fucking in love it was so bad.
“You’re the best” Jisung smiles softly and reaches over to take Minho's hand “I didn’t think I’d actually be able to do this. I was so scared when I kissed you I had ruined everything” he admits.
“I was gonna ask you out anyway. You just made it way easier. No fear of rejection” he also admits “I’ve wanted to kiss you for months”
With a smile Jisung squishes Minho's hand “damn you’re really down bad aren’t you.” He teases
“Defiantly. Want you so bad” he laughs “as my boyfriend. Nothing impure” he winks playfully, he loves seeing Jisung blush so he couldn’t help himself.
The younger just chuckles and eats happily “thank you” he says softly after a moment “for being so perfect”
“You’re the perfect one dummy. Just eat your food” he nudges him with his foot. Jisung listened and continued to eat.
The date went perfectly. Minho even has desert for them. Again Jisung’s favourite. He really was down bad . Once they had eaten he led him to the couch where the movie was ready to go. It really was just an excuse for them to cuddle. They had seen ‘howls moving castle’ so many times they coul just talk to themselves and cuddle without having to worry about missing anything. It was more than Minho could ask for
—- —- —- —- —-
Minho turned the tv off and sat himself back down next to Jisung “sooooo whatcha think of the date? Think I’ll get a second one? He grins
Jisung curled up against Minho happily “this was the best first date ever hyung” he smiles kissing his cheek shyly “and hmmm i think so yeah”
“I’m glad you loved it Sungie. I’m just glad you sleep so much I was able to get this done within the hour of everyone leaving and you napping” he teases, squishing him against his side.
Jisung gasps and nudges him, removing his hand from Minhos “I don’t sleep a lot! I’m always working thank you” he sticks his tongue out
“I like it when we hold hands Jagiya” He pouts softly, starting at how beautiful Jisung was, the way the candle light flickered and created such a perfect cascade on his skin, the way his eyes grew so wide. Just everything.
“Well hold my hand then Minho Hyung” was the cheeky reply “and never let go”
And Minho did
And he hasn’t let go for the past 7 years

- tiny epilogue -
“So tell us about the song before your performance” Changbin asked, a tiny smirk on his face
“Want so bad is a very upbeat and bubbly song reminiscent of the colour pink but the song is reminiscent of cherry blossom and spring breeze and the colour pink” Jisung explained
“What’s the song about?” Changbin followed up. Of course the little fucker would. Minho knew that question was definitely not on that card
“Simply put…..it’s a love song” Jisung glanced at Minho just verve so slightly
“How did you guys come to collabing?”
“I mean the more I sung it…I kept thinking about Minho hyung. So I asked him to sing it with me” he chuckles with a shrug
Changbin smiles looking proud of himself and motions for them to sing.
Minho chuckles softly and took Jisung’s hand, linking their fingers. He made a promise. He’d never let go.
