Minho's reaction to Jisung's emotions

If Jisung is sad:
At first, Minho doesn't know what to do and might just stand there silently. He doesn't like asking too many questions and doesn't force Jisung to talk. He might bring him something tasty or leave a drink nearby, pretending it's an accident. If he sees that Jisung is genuinely ill, he becomes noticeably softer.

• Hey... why are you so sad?
  "If you don't want to tell me, don't. Just don't sit here alone."

If Jisung cries:
Jisung's crying throws Minho off balance. He might become flustered at first, then angrily ask who upset him. If someone else is to blame, Minho instantly becomes angry at the offender. He doesn't scold Jisung himself and tries to calm him down, though he does so awkwardly.

• Okay, stop crying...
  — Who brought you to this? Tell me their name.

If Jisung doesn't want to talk, Minho just stays close, sometimes silently offering napkins or water.

If Jisung is scared:
Minho immediately notices this in his behavior. If Jisung starts to speak quieter, takes a step back, or addresses him too formally, Minho becomes more cautious. He tries not to raise his voice or make any sudden movements.

• Hey, calm down. I won't hurt you.
• Why are you so afraid of me? I'm not going to hit you.

If the fear is related to Jisung's past, Minho gradually stops asking questions and simply gives him a sense of security.

If Jisung is angry:
At first, Minho might tease him deliberately because he's curious to see Jisung more emotional. If the anger is serious, Minho stops joking and listens.

• Wow, it turns out you know how to get angry.
• Okay, that's it, don't get mad. I get it.

If Minho is at fault, he won't admit it for a long time, but later he might silently do something nice for Jisung instead of apologizing.

If Jisung is happy:
Minho likes to see him happy, though he'll never admit it outright. He might deliberately continue the conversation or suggest going somewhere. Sometimes he even starts smiling himself, watching Jisung.

• Why are you smiling?
  — ...Okay, you can be happy. I don't mind.

If Jisung laughs:
Minho often starts smiling along with him, especially if Jisung laughs genuinely. Sometimes he'll deliberately tell silly things or tease him just to hear him laugh again.

If Jisung is embarrassed:
Minho quickly notices Jisung's flushed cheeks, averted gaze, and quiet speech. Sometimes he deliberately teases him because he finds his reactions amusing.

• Why are you blushing?
• I didn’t even touch you, why are you embarrassed?

But if he realizes that he has truly made Jisung feel uncomfortable, he immediately stops.

If Jisung feels like an outsider:
This is one of the few situations where Minho becomes truly serious. He no longer views Jisung as "someone else's child," so such comments irritate him.

• Why are you even saying this?
  "You live here. Your parents accepted you. I accepted you. So stop thinking of yourself as a stranger."

After this, Minho may try to distract Jisung by inviting him to eat, suggesting a movie, or simply staying close.

If Jisung thanks him:
Minho gets embarrassed and almost always brushes it off.

• Oh, come on.
  — I didn’t do it out of gratitude.

If Jisung continues to thank him, Minho might chuckle slightly and say,

"Just get used to it. I'm your brother now, you'll have to put up with my care."

Minho's relationship with Jisung

Minho initially treats Jisung with caution and rather coldly. He's angry that he now has to share his parents' attention with a virtual stranger. At first, he considers Jisung a stranger and doesn't understand why he even joined their family.

Jisung immediately piques his curiosity. Minho notices how quiet, cautious, and intimidated he is, especially after his joke about addressing him as "you."

Minho gradually realizes that Jisung is nothing like the person he imagined. He begins to occasionally stop by to talk, leave him food, help him with his studies, buy him clothes and other necessities, defend him in front of others, and becomes irritated when someone makes Jisung feel like an outsider.

Over time, Minho begins to perceive Jisung as a real younger brother, although he does not like to admit it out loud.

If you ask him how he feels about Jisung, he will most likely answer:

"I'm fine with him. He's just my brother now, that's all."

His actions speak louder than words. When Jisung is feeling down, Minho is almost always there—even if he pretends he's there by accident.
