Chapter 113 (1/2)

Bedtime was upon the house.  Joshua and Jaemin sat down on the older’s bed.  Joshua smiled at the boy and leaned closer to him.

“Thank you for doing so much work for my dad, it must be tiring.”  Joshua spoke softly, holding Jaemin’s hand.

Jaemin eased his eyes as he watched Joshua’s sparkling eyes.  “I didn’t do much work today though..”  He was modest.

“I mean overall, Jae.”  Joshua chuckled.  “Just let me reward you.”  He said, bringing Jaemin down and letting their heads rest on the pillow.

Joshua put their lips together, moving his hand down Jaemin’s side until it reached his hip.  Jaemin smiled in the kiss, bringing the older closer to him, tangling their legs in their kiss.

Their moment is interrupted by a knock on the door.  The couple sits up properly when the door opens.

“I hate to bother you guys, but I saw the light on.”  Minghao said, entering the room.

Joshua kept his annoyance inside.  “What’s up?”  Joshua asked, glad that he wasn’t in his excited stage just yet.

“Can this stay between.. Among us?”  Minghao asked, looking at Jaemin.

The boy zipped his lips closed, giving an assurance he’ll keep his mouth shut.  “You have our word, Minghao.  What’s on your mind?”  Joshua asked.

Minghao pursed his lips.  “Tzuyu and I.. we’re kinda a thing now..”  He said, not making eye contact.  “But I kinda feel like a jerk because I told her that I don’t want to move too quickly..”  He sighed.

“What’s wrong with that?”  Joshua asked.

“I mean.. I haven’t even held her hand, that’s how slow I am.”  Minghao said, finally looking at Joshua.  “I just feel like I’m not doing enough for her.  But I don’t know what to do.”  He admitted.

Jaemin folded his arms.  “She likes art, right?”  He asked.

Minghao nodded.  “Why not do an art project together then?”  Jaemin smiled.  “Flirting while working helps, I used to lean close to Josh when he was having trouble with the oven.”  He winked.

Joshua smirked.  “You little sneak..”  He muttered.
