"Hannie? Get up, Sungie! You need to eat."

Han just groaned and covered his head with blanket as a signal that he was in no mood to get up at the moment.

"Nope. You have to get up. You need this medicine."

Han again said nothing and whined in return bringing the blanket closer to his chest.

"You should have thought that when you slept soundly in the living room with no blankets on. "

Han opened his eyes and just glared at the elder.

"Funny that you think that you're scary at all."

Han again groaned and turned his back towards Minho trying to sleep again.

"This kid!"

Minho went to the other side of the bed and started pulling off the blanket.

"Hannie, I don't mind you sleeping but you need medicine to get better and for that you need to eat something. You can sleep as you're done taking medicine."

"It's not the same. I can't sleep right after waking up!!!" Han whined squeezing his eyes trying to sleep again while pulling the blanket.

"That's even better. We can finish the movie we missed yesterday."

"Don't you have to go to the office?" Han questioned with his eyes slowly getting used to the light.

"I-" Minho's phone rang brightening Han's hopes to sleep again.

Han almost went to his dreamland when he heard Minho saying, "No, I can't meet him. Tell the model that the company representative has already gone in my place to talk business and that should be enough. My physical presence doesn't matter."

'It's Mrs. Park.' Han thought.

"I said no, Mrs. Park" Minho confirmed Han's guess.

"You are well aware that I don't take leaves often. Something important has come up for me. That is why I am on leave. So, I can't come today."

Minho waited to hear the lady's response.

"Then tell him that he is free to do so. We don't want an unempathetic person either."

"Hyung, what's wrong?" Han said in his morning voice.

"Please take care of it, Mrs. Park. I'll be hanging up." Minho said before disconnecting the call.

"Finally, you're awake. Go brush your teeth and come back. I'll bring your breakfast here itself."

"Did you have any meeting today?"

"No. I-"

"Shit shit shit. Hyung, you had a meeting with Park Jaebum, right?"

"I don't think he's going to collaborate with us. His attitude is terrible."

"What? Noooo. I want him only. "

"Excuse me?"

"Hyung, no one would look as pretty as him in the clothes I designed.  Please talk to him. He has to be the model" Han whined.

"You shouldn't be worried about all these. Just have your breakfast. We have thousands of better models than him."

"But he's the hottest, hyungggg. My clothes this time has a sexy vibe and he's the hottest man I have seen in my entire life. This is not even my gayness showing. He genuinely  looks like a sex god. Please hyung, he has to be the one."

"Weren't you burning with fever a few minutes ago and here you're praising him with your entire life."

"You're going to the meeting or not?"

"I'm not leaving you alone in such a condition."

"Geez, hyung. Just meet him and come back. It's not like I'm going to die in-"

"Han Jisung!!!! I dare you to complete that."

There was a pin drop silence for few seconds.

"Fine. " Han mumbled and turned his feet.

"Where are you going, Han? I swear you need to -"

"Brush my teeth. I know you won't leave me alone until I eat. So, whatever! Let's just eat and get done with it already."

-

"Sung!!! What's with you? I heard you're throwing a tantrum."

"What? I'm not-"

"I heard that it has been two days since you talked to Minho. You're not a five year old, Jisung, that you would sulk over not getting your favourite thing. I've taught you better."

"Did hyung say anything ?"

"Do you think so? That boy is ready to attack anyone whoever says a word that is unfavorable for you."

Han blushed hearing this. That was true. No one dared to talk crap about Han in front of Minho. Even Mrs. Han started to think for a brief second before telling Han off in front of Minho.

"I'll talk to him. Don't worry." Han said after a sigh.

"I'll come at your place for dinner tonight. Fix whatever it is before that."

"Ok" Han bit his lip and said.

-

"Come in" Minho said in an authoritative tone. His whole focus was on the computer screen tapping the keys in a swift manner.

"Umm- hyung. Your lunch." Han said standing timidly at the door.  For some reason, he felt extremely awkward entering the cabin which he had never bothered even knocking before.

"Hannie? What are you doing here? You're still under medication. You need rest." Minho was pleasantly surprised seeing Han in the office but to him, the younger's health came first.

Han felt bad hearing this. He was being unreasonable when all Minho was doing was worrying about the younger's health. Why was he even angry for? Han was never the type to misbehave that too for such stupid things. He always was a patient boy with a good temper.

'Why did I even act that way? I'm so embarassed right now. Mom was right. I'm so stupid.'

"Umm- I made Japchae for lunch. I brought you some."

"Didn't mom come today? She said she would visit you today and make something.

"She was going to but I told her not to worry. Moreover, I'm fine now."

"Fine? You were coughing the entire night like a granny."

"Hyung!!" Han glared trying to scare the elder off.

"Haha. Okay. Come on. Sit. Let's eat."

"No. I've brought this only for you. I have-"

"I know you've not eaten yet, Hannie."

"Huh!! Yes, Mr. Know-it-all"

"What to do? Mr. Lee knows."Minho winked at Han and started opening the lunch box for them to eat.

They had their lunch in a comfortable silence. Eating together after two days felt so right to both of them.

"Hyung??"

"Hmmm" Minho hummed while repacking the empty lunch box.

"I'm sorry."

Minho paused for a second then looked at Han who has his eyes lowered. He was fidgeting his fingers.

Minho shifted towards Han fully and said,"For?"

"For misbehaving and being a brat."

"And when did you do that?"

Han looked up at this and then lowered his eyes again.

"Day before yesterday. You were just worried for me and I was acting childish. I'm sorry. I won't do that again."

Minho could hear the dull tone in Han's voice.

"What was childish in that?" Minho asked.

"Hyung, stop being like that! I am genuinely sorry. I promise I won't repeat that.'' Han choked a sob midway through.

Han was lowkey getting frustrated with the elder's questions. He was being sincere with his words so why can't he forgive him once.

"Repeat what? Saying something extremely stupid or throwing a tantrum."

'Finally' Han sighed. Finally Minho was responding to him instead of just questioning. Finally, he could see a ray of hope of resolving things with the elder.

"Both. I tend to get moody and say stupid stuff when I'm hungry, tired or unwell in general. Please ignore me during that time."

"Why would I do that? If you have a bad habit, you have to work upon it. I'll help you."

Han just nodded to it. He agreed with the elder. He really needed to fix himself.

"I'll do that. You won't ever see me throw a tantrum ever." Han raised his head after a good ten seconds with confidence beaming up to his face. He had already planned to join meditation or some shit to avoid such outburst.

"God, this kid. I'm talking just about the stupid stuff you said about leaving me. Who else are you gonna throw a tantrum in front of? That Park Jaebum?"

"Huh!!! As if I'm gonna ever meet him." Han rolled his eyes and continued," and wait, when did I say anything about leaving you?"

"Let it be. You'll be just idiot forever. Come with me. I got something for you."

"What?"

"Come with me."

Minho took him to another cabin with the words, "Do Wonhee", engraved on it.

"Hello, Mrs. Do."

Han greeted the lady totally confused about the fact that why was he in the legal department.

"Hyung, why-" Han stopped whispering when he saw Park Jaebum in flesh sitting in front of Mrs. Do signing some papers.

Thoughts?
