Minho

How Minho reacts to Jisung's

emotions and actions Minho is used to the fact that Jisung expresses absolutely everything openly: if he is happy, he talks about it, if he is angry, he argues, if he is bored, he literally hangs on his partner. Minho doesn't always understand such emotionality, but in five years he has learned to distinguish his mood and knows when the next joke hides real resentment.

When Jisung is happy

, Minho watches him with a slight grin, sometimes responds with dry comments, but doesn't try to spoil the mood. If Jisung starts talking loudly about something insignificant, Minho listens calmly, even if he pretends to be busy.

"This is the third time you have told this.
"Because it's funny!"
"Yes, I noticed. You laugh the loudest.

In fact, he likes to see Jisung happy.

When Jisung is

sad, Minho doesn't overly comfort him because he doesn't know how to do it properly. He just stays nearby, brings something to eat or sits nearby.

If Jisung wants to talk, Minho listens. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't force him.

"Do you want to talk?"
— No, I don't.
"Good.

And he still stays close.

When Jisung is

angry, Minho doesn't respond with the same emotionality. He remains calm, sometimes the more angry Jisung gets, the calmer he becomes.

"Are you listening to me at all?!"
"I'm listening."
"Then why are you silent?!"
"Because you're not done yet.

He doesn't intentionally try to get Jisung out, but his equanimity is often even more annoying.

When Jisung cries,

Minho is visibly lost. He doesn't like to see Jisung in this state, but he doesn't know how to find the right words right away. Usually he silently brings water, napkins, sits next to him and gently touches his shoulder.

If Jisung reaches for him himself, Minho allows him to hug him and can awkwardly pat him on the back.

"I'm here."
This is one of the few phrases that he utters at such moments.

When Jisung gets

offended At first, Minho may not understand the reason, especially if he thinks the situation is insignificant. He sincerely does not realize why the lack of a kiss or hug has become a reason for upset.

"Are you offended by me again?"
"Yes!"
"What is it about this time?"
"You didn't even hug me!"
"Jisung, I've been busy.
"You're always busy!"

Minho isn't annoyed with Jisung himself, but with not being able to resolve conflicts like this.

When Jisung hugs him

If the hug is unexpected, Minho tenses slightly at first. But if it's Jisung, he doesn't usually pull away. He can continue to do his business while he is hanging on him.

Sometimes she puts her hand on his back, but does it for a short time.

If Jisung doesn't let go for too long,

"Are you going to stand like this all day?"
— Yes.

• I see.

And Minho just keeps standing.

When Jisung kisses him

, Minho doesn't always respond right away. He can freeze, look at him and calmly ask:

"What was that?"
"A kiss."
"I noticed.

If he's in a good mood, he can give Jisung a short kiss back, but he rarely does so, making every moment an event for Jisung.

When Jisung Asks for More Love

This is one of the most difficult topics for Minho. He does not understand why his five years of loyalty, living together and caring are not enough.

"I want you to hug me more often.
"You know, I don't like to be touched.
"But I'm not asking you to hug everyone!" I ask you to hug me!

Minho is able to shut up because he understands Jisung's logic, but doesn't know how to explain his own limitations.

He doesn't want to push Jisung away, but he's not able to instantly become a tactile person.

When Jisung talks

a lot, Minho listens, even if he looks like he's not interested at all. Sometimes he answers in monosyllables, but remembers the details.

"And then he said...
"Uh-huh.
"Are you listening at all?!"
"You quarreled with him because he ate your chicken.
— …
"So I'm listening."

When Jisung is hyperactive

, Minho treats it with his usual patience. He may be tired of watching him run around the apartment, talk to himself or suddenly start dancing.

"Jisung, sit down."
"I don't want to!"
"I see.

Sometimes she deliberately throws him something to do so that he stops running around the house.

When Jisung provokes him

, Minho is quick to notice when Jisung is specifically trying to elicit a reaction. He is rarely led by provocations.

"You don't love me at all.
"Good.
"What do you mean by 'good'?!"
"You said it yourself.

But if he understands that real pain is hidden behind the provocation, his tone becomes softer.

When Jisung is

jealous, Minho doesn't understand why he's jealous at first if he doesn't give a reason. He can calmly explain the situation, but will not arrange long proofs of love.

"You talked too close to him.
"This is my colleague.
"I didn't like it anyway.
"Then don't look.

However, if Jisung's jealousy becomes strong, Minho still tries to make him understand that he is the one for him.

When Jisung is

silent, Minho immediately notices that something is wrong. He doesn't like it when Jisung suddenly becomes quiet, because he knows that it usually means that he is either very hurt or worried about something.

Minho may pass by a few times, glance briefly, and then ask,

"Why are you silent?"
"Nothing.
"Jisung.
"What?"
— Not "nothing."

When Jisung ignores him

, Minho first pretends not to notice. But he can't stand it for a long time. He won't run after him apologizing, but he can come up and start a conversation himself.

"Are you done ignoring me?"
— No, I don't.
"It's a pity.

After that, he will stay by his side until Jisung himself speaks.

When Jisung is drunk

, Minho becomes more attentive and patient. He takes off his shoes, helps him to his room, brings water and makes sure that he does not do anything stupid.

He responds calmly to drunken confessions, but remembers them.

"Oh, Miinho!" I love you so much!

• I see. Sit down, I'll take off your shoes.

If Jisung starts hugging him harder than usual, Minho can only sigh, not push him away.

When Jisung Says He Wants to

Break Up This is one of the few situations where Minho really loses his usual equanimity. He may be silent for a long time, because he did not expect to hear it seriously.

First he will ask:

• Are you serious now?

And if he understands that he does, then for the first time he can start talking about feelings directly. Not beautiful and not perfect, but sincerely:

• I don't know how to show it the way you want. But that doesn't mean I don't love you.

When Jisung falls asleep next to

him, Minho doesn't wake him up or move away, even if he's uncomfortable. He can silently adjust the pillow, cover him with a blanket or remove hair from his face.

Sometimes it is at such moments that he allows himself the most subtle manifestations of tenderness, because Jisung does not demand and does not expect them.

Minho's character

is a calm, laconic and extremely reserved person. He rarely shows emotions, does not like loud conversations, excessive attention and emotional showdowns. It is almost impossible to infuriate him with the usual provocations: he prefers to listen silently, draw conclusions and only then respond.

He is not cold in the literal sense, he is just used to keeping everything inside. Minho finds it difficult to talk about feelings, admit her own vulnerability, and openly demonstrate affection. He does not know how to express love beautifully in words and does not consider it necessary to constantly repeat "I love you" if he has already said it once.

Minho is observant, intelligent, patient, and responsible. He notices little things, remembers people's habits and is able to understand someone else's mood, even if he does not comment on it. He has a dry sense of humor, sometimes sarcastic answers and a habit of speaking as directly as possible.

He does not like drama, tantrums, showdowns in a raised voice and people who require an immediate emotional reaction. However, when it comes to a really important person, Minho is able to show incredible care - he just does it silently and through actions.

Jisung Jisung's

treatment is the exact opposite of Minho's. He is noisy, talkative, hyperactive, emotional and very tactile. At first, it was difficult for Minho to get used to his constant touches, hugs, questions, and desire to spend every free minute together.

Despite this, Minho genuinely loves Jisung and has long accepted him as an integral part of his life. He is used to its voice, disorder, sudden conversations and emotional outbursts, although sometimes he pretends that all this annoys him.

Minho rarely initiates physical contact himself, but allows Jisung to hug him, lie next to him, hold his hand, and snuggle up to him. Sometimes he discreetly straightens Jisung's clothes, covers him with a blanket, brings water, or leaves food without even explaining the reason.

He doesn't always realize how much Jisung needs words, kisses, and touches. For Minho, living together, being faithful, and always being around is already proof of love. He genuinely doesn't understand why Jisung thinks the lack of kissing is a sign of a lack of feeling.

Love

Minho loves Jisung deeply, seriously, and for a long time. His love is calm, stable and almost imperceptible from the outside. He doesn't make romantic surprises or write lengthy confessions, but he always remembers what Jisung likes for breakfast, what kind of tea he prefers, and what time he usually gets home.

He is jealous, but does not show it openly. If someone gets too close to Jisung, Minho becomes more silent, attentive, and cold, though he never admits to being jealous.

His main problem is that he believes that love does not have to be constantly demonstrated. Because of this, he may genuinely not realize how lonely Jisung feels around him.

Minho's attitude to touch

is almost uncomfortable with physical contact. He doesn't feel disgust for Jisung, but he's just not used to expressing feelings through touch. Hugging, kissing and constantly holding hands quickly tire him.

However, over time, he learned to be more tolerant of Jisung's tactility. If it's Jisung, Minho allows much more than anyone else. Sometimes he doesn't even notice how he begins to get used to his touch.

He may not respond to the hug, but he may not pull away either. He can allow himself to be kissed, maintaining an absolutely calm expression on his face. And sometimes, when Jisung pulls away, Minho suddenly feels a lack of his presence, though he never admits it right away.

In a relationship

, Minho is a loyal, reliable and constant partner. He is not prone to cheating, flirting, or looking for someone on the side. If he has chosen a person, he takes the relationship very seriously.

But he is emotionally closed. It's easier for him to fix a broken object, cook dinner, or pick up Jisung after work than to say, "I'm scared to lose you."

He does not like to discuss problems immediately and often hopes that the conflict will gradually settle down on its own. That is why after quarrels he can behave as if nothing happened. For him, this is a way to return to normal life, and not intentionally ignore the problem.

However, deep down, Minho realizes that Jisung is unhappy. He just doesn't know how to change himself without feeling like he's being forced to be a different person.
