"um..." jisung pulls away without knowing what to say to him.

minho puts his hand on his cheek and caresses it, while the two stared at each other overwhelmed at what just happened.

"I like you too" minho says.

"what do you mean 'too'?"

"I actually heard your conversation with your mom and jennie the other day"

"oh..."

minho chuckles and kisses him this time, jennie comes upstairs and sees the scene and gasps.

"yessss!!" she claps and the two pull away to see her.

"what's going on?" jeonghee comes in as well.

"jisung and minho kissed!" she smiles.

"ohhh wow!" she smiles with her.

"okay okay" jisung gets up from the closet. "you can calm down now"

"but it's exciting!" jennie says.

"oh we have to celebrate! I'm gonna go see what I'll make for dinner!" jeonghee leaves and jennie follows her out which jisung chuckles at them.

"so then... are we... you know..." minho comes out after they leave.

"a couple?" minho nods. "do you want to be...?"

"I do"

"I do too" jisung smiles and wraps his arms around him, minho does the same.

"do you want to go to the library?" minho asks.

"but you can't go out anywhere everyone is looking for you remember?" jisung looks at him.

"I know but I can always wear a disguise"

"I guess but what if someone recognizes you?"

"it's gonna be okay" minho caresses his cheek. "I just want to go out with my boyfriend"

jisung smiles again hearing minho say boyfriend, he nods and goes downstairs to see jeonghee and jennie watching the news.

"mom we're gonna go to the library" jisung says.

"I don't think that's a good idea" she looks at them. "things are getting worse"

"but I'm gonna wear a disguise and we'll be careful" minho says.

"I'm sure you will but it's very risky, if you two get caught jisung you'll get arrested for keeping him and also being gay"

"we'll be fine mom" jisung grabs minho's hand and they leave the house.

minho puts on a hat and sunglasses as they both walk to the library, trying to not catch any attention.

when they walked in, it was still quiet as protests kept going on so they felt better about that.

they went to the romance section and smiled at some of the books they found as now they both have someone.

they glanced at some, and read a few pages of some together.

the whole time they were in their own world without realizing that the librarian knew it was minho.
