Bear on the Moon - Thai
Cat lovers and absolute cat enthusiasts #1.3
Min's pile of various stuffed animals was replaced by numerous pillows because he had developed a habit of using them. The bookshelf in the puppy's bedroom was filled with books of many different genres.
J-Hope's bedroom had a bed covered in simple, clean dark blue sheets and a plain white blanket.
When he got to his room, it turned out to be shelves filled with DVDs, figurines, and various Lego sets that he had collected.
One guitar, the one he used to impress girls in high school, lay leaning against the other.
Simple, yet reassuring.
Just to give you a brief overview, this is a two-story townhouse near the university that an acquaintance of mine is renting out.
There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one kitchen. Initially, Hope was living there with two friends (Hope slept alone, while the other two shared a room because they were a couple).
But because they were in different faculties, the third-year business administration students had to do internships, leaving that room empty for an entire semester this year without anyone to share it with.
And they might be free until they graduate because the two of them said they're going to move to another dorm out of consideration for the fact that their bedroom isn't soundproof.
Does Hope need to explain why we need a soundproof room?
And when J-Hope was hit hard by a financial crisis, heaven sent Jimin, who messaged him saying he was looking for a new home because he didn't like his old dorm.
It's been almost two months since she came to live under the same roof as me.
Let me tell you, the more you look at this person, the more you fall in love. They have a cute face, a sweet smile, a lovely personality, can cook, can play sports, and is good at music. Their profile is even better than Thai Life Insurance!

"Blow on it first, or you'll burn your mouth."
Cut to the present, Hope is sitting on his bed, looking listless from the 38-degree Celsius heat, while Jimin has placed a small table on the bed with a bowl of porridge.
And the last dose before bed.
I'm going to be crippled because of you, Minnie. I feel so unmanly. I'm so sad.
"Min/Hope"
This is such a sitcom moment! After finishing his rice porridge, J-Hope gathered his courage and was about to say something when Min called his name.
เจโฮป
"Min first."
จีมิน
"Go with Hope first."
Hope looked at Min hesitantly. I mean, scenes like this in movies are so romantic, but in real life, it's so awkward. Hope paused to think. Can I use the word "think"?
Yeah, I think so. He was trying to figure out how to explain his feelings to Jimin.
เจโฮป
"What's wrong, Min?"
He finally gave up and gestured with his mouth for Jimin to speak first, because he didn't know what to say, and Jimin told him to rest until he felt better.
Otherwise, they wouldn't talk about last night. He didn't want to upset his younger sibling.
จีมิน
"I'll tell you to drink this water and take your medicine," Min smiled before handing Hope his favorite ceramic mug. A fragrant aroma wafted from the mug as he looked at the drink inside.
Then, suppressing a smile until her cheeks ached, she murmured "thank you" softly, almost in a whisper.
เจโฮป
"...."
The warm milk, sweet and smooth from being heated and then flavored with honey... Hope easily finished the glass. He didn't know if his younger sibling was being thoughtful or if he did it so often that his sibling knew and started making it for him.
Served with rice porridge.
That's just how Jimin is. Would he die if he wasn't cute for a single minute?
I usually don't like taking medicine because it's bitter, but seeing the look in the person handing it to me, before I knew it, I'd swallowed it.
เจโฮป
"Nong Min"
จีมิน
"yes?"
เจโฮป
"Uh..."
But even though he had feelings for his younger sibling, it probably still wasn't easy enough for Hope to express those feelings clearly after everything went so unexpectedly.
If you ask me if I'm confused, I'll say I'm incredibly confused. I never thought in my life I would be... uh... the submissive one or someone's wife.
And it didn't feel good at all. You could even say it was a humiliation.
I should feel worse, but then I think, "Jimin owned that hug last night."
Ugh, this is so hard to say.
จีมิน
"Hmm...?"
When Hope kept hesitating and refusing to speak, the little puppy tilted its head and made a soft sound in its throat. That behavior made Hope want to bite his tongue off.
I believe you didn't win the titles of "Faculty's Most Handsome Guy" and "University's Cutest Boy" by chance, but you don't have to constantly attack me like this, okay? (bites blanket)
Jimin watched him as he covered his face with his hands, then chuckled softly. He took back the glass of milk and placed it on the bedside table next to the bowl of porridge.
Before he could remove the hand that was covering his face, the warm touch on the back of his hand strangely calmed Hope down. Her clear, slender eyes gazed at him, conveying a message that...
Listen carefully.
เจโฮป
"...elder sibling"
จีมิน
"I'm listening."
เจโฮป
"Brother... is... brother."
He was completely flustered. All his thoughts were muddled up. How could he explain to his younger brother that he didn't dislike him? That he was afraid Jimin would hate him?
เจโฮป
"I'm sorry... I don't know what to say."
The other person's clear eyes flickered slightly before they grasped his arm and pulled him into their embrace.
I knew Jimin was like a big dog, but I didn't think I could hug him completely like this.
จีมิน
"It's okay, Hope hyung. It's okay. Calm down."
His voice was soft and deep, like a lullaby for a child. The two arms wrapped around him swayed gently.
Does he seem very impatient? What does his face look like right now? What kind of person is he in Min's eyes?
Anxiety made the air conditioning in the room seem too cold, an unsettling chill, until he felt warm and safe in Jimin's embrace.
The rhythmic beating of the organ in the left side of the chest makes the feverish person want to listen to it continuously.
...Besides, Jimin smells so good. Let me snuggle up to him for a bit. He probably won't know.
He wasn't sure how long he'd been in the other person's embrace, but it was probably long enough for him to feel his consciousness beginning to fade.
จีมิน
"Did it hurt last night?"
เจโฮป
"It hurts. It hurts so much..."
จีมิน
"........"
เจโฮป
"...I'm angry now. I'm angry at Min."
Hope mumbled half-asleep, vowing in his heart that if it wasn't Jimin, he would have kicked him to death.
จีมิน
"Sorry, I promise I'll be gentler next time."
เจโฮป
"....."
จีมิน
"Are you sleepy?"
เจโฮป
"Hmm..." What was Jimin saying? He couldn't hear clearly.
จีมิน
"Okay, then let's talk about it tomorrow."
A kind voice whispered close to my ear, yet it seemed to come from a great distance. A thick hand rested on my back and stroked gently.
His round, clear eyes drooped shut like a sleepy cat. The last thing he felt was a warm, soft touch tracing from his forehead to his lips.
So gentle, like a blessing wishing you a good night's sleep and sweet dreams.
"Goodnight, naughty cat."
.......
That's the end of this chapter!
Sorry for leaving it for so long.
Wow, you did your best.
BELIVE IN YOUSELF♥
