After dinner, they sat there together for a while and talked about God and the world.

Jisung had leaned tiredly on Minho and followed the conversation of the others only half attentively.

"Baby, will you let me get up?" Minho asked.

Tired, Jisung looked at him and nodded.

Without Minho having to say anything, Chan got up and took his place, while Minho disappeared towards the bathroom.

Yawning, Jisung leaned against Chan, who looked at him thoughtfully for a moment and then patted on his thigh so that Jisung lay down.

Without hesitation, Jisung followed the request and lay down on Chan's leg.

Lovingly smiling, he gently stroked Jisung's hair. He was very aware that his mother was watching him, but he didn't care.

He was much more amused that Minho simply sat next to Changbin without comment and leaned against him when he came back, while his mother looked at the two confused.

He could really see how the thoughts in his mother's head turned circles and she tried to link the connections.

"Maybe we should drive home slowly," Chan said thoughtfully and looked at Minho and Changbin. Jisung had already fallen asleep on his lap and Minho and Changbin also looked tired.

Minho nodded and stood up.

"Honey, can you carry Jisung down?" Chan asked Changbin and had to suppress a grin when he saw his mother watching them with her head tilted.

Smiling, Changbin lifted up Jisung and followed Minho, who was already on his way to the front door. Chan's father followed the three.

"Christopher...!"

Chan turned around and had to pull himself together so as not to laugh. His mother looked at him seriously and confused.

"Yes, Mum?" he asked with a grin.

"What's going on with you?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about," Chan said innocently.

"You know exactly what I mean. Why are you cuddling with Jisung while his fiancé is cuddling with Changbin? Why did his neck look like this? And what is really the reason why you want to move in together?"

"Mum, do you really want to know that?"

His mother looked at him thoughtfully.

"Maybe just the answer to the last question..."

"Maybe we are closer than normal friends," Chan said, shrugging his shoulders.

"I assume I don't need to know more?" asked his mother with raised eyebrows.

Chan shook his head with a grin.

" Before I forget it, your weekend is booked. I'll send you the details by email," said his mother, shook her head, but then smiled. "As long as you're happy, I don't care what's going on between you."

"Thank you Mum," Chan said and hugged his mother.

"Come on, off with you. Make sure the others get to bed. And take care of them!"

"I will Mum."

Together they followed the others to the front door and after saying goodbye to each other, they left Chan's parents.

Changbin carried Jisung to the car and carefully put him in.

"What did your mom want from you?" he asked Chan after he had let himself sink into the passenger seat.

"Uhm... you know... She is a good observer..."

Chan shrugged his shoulders and drove off.

"Do you want to tell me that she knows?" Changbin asked in shock and became pale.

Chan nodded. "Yep and she doesn't care."

Changbin and Minho both took a deep breath and let themselves sink back into their seats with relief.

Tired, Minho closed his eyes. He knew that Jisung was insanely worried about how Chan's parents would react. But at least his mum seemed to see it somewhat loose.

Although the ride home didn't take that much time, Minho and Changbin had fallen asleep before they arrived.

Chan would have liked to let them sleep, but it was of no use. Sighing, he leaned to Changbin and gently stroked his cheek.

Tired, Changbin opened his eyes and looked at Chan questioningly.

"We are at home. And I thought you might want to sleep in bed rather than in the car," Chan said, smiling gently.

Changbin nodded and closed his eyes again for a moment before he opened the car door and got out.

Yawning, he opened the back door and wanted to lift Jisung up, but then noticed that Jisung looked at him tired.

"Well, little one, shall we go to bed?"

Jisung nodded and let Changbin pull him out of the car.

"How did we came here?"

"I carried you into the car," Changbin said with a smile while he pulled him behind him.

In the meantime, Chan had taken over to wake Minho and the two were right behind them.

Finally arrived at the apartment, Chan made sure that the three others brushed their teeth and then went to bed.

But instead of lying down with them, he sat down in the living room with his laptop and read his mother's email.

And was amazed. His mother had planned everything through and Chan liked what he read. He was also happy that at least some parts of the trip would also be a surprise also for Changbin.

In addition, he planned his very own surprise for him and would still have to do a lot for it.

But since his mother had fortunately been so fast with the preparations, which gave him enough leeway to modify everything according to his ideas.

Quietly humming, he took notes in his phone, what he still had to do, then closed the laptop yawning and went into the bathroom.

He spontaneously decided to take a shower, even if he was really tired. But somehow it felt right to "wash off" the day, even if it ended way better than expected.

Tired, Chan leaned against the wall in the shower and let the warm water rain down on him. He felt him relax and was about to fall asleep standing up, but knew that it wasn't a good idea.

So he hurried to finish his shower and yawningly opened the shower door, only to find that he had neither a towel nor sleeping clothes with him.

He had gotten into the habit of sleeping in a shirt and boxer shorts since they slept in a bed with Minho and Jisung. Only with Changbin in bed, in their apartment, had he slept naked.

Sighing, he dried himself with the tiny hand towel and then went naked into the bedroom, only to find that Minho was still awake and waiting for him.

"Uhm... Sorry, I left my sleeping clothes here earlier and there was no more towel in the bathroom."

But Minho waved off tired, but couldn't resist letting his gaze wander over Chan's body.

"Min..." Chan murmured, blushing.

"Come on, put on something and come to bed. I need a little encouragement before tomorrow," Minho murmured and slid closer to Jisung to make room for Chan next to him.

A short time later, Chan lay next to him in bed and pulled the younger one into his arm.

"Encouragement, huh?"

Minho nodded and buried his face on Chan's chest.

"What if my therapist is a total ass and asks stupid questions? Or if I don't like him?"

"Min, baby, if he's a stupid idiot, then you change the therapist! Try to relax and get involved."

Minho nodded slowly and snuggled closer to Chan.

"You also get a reward for it."

"And you mean with a reward, you get me to get involved?" asked Minho and seriously thought about whether Chan believed that he could be bribed with a reward.

"I mean, I can also give that kiss to Jisung if you don't want it," Chan said, shrugged his shoulders and giggled softly.

"No... that's my kiss...," Minho grumbled and stretched out towards the older one.

He put a hand on Minho's cheek, pulled him closer to him and kissed him gently.

Smiling, they separated from each other.

"So you can be bribed," Chan murmured with a grin and bent over to kiss him again.

"Maybe... but don't tell anyone!" Minho whispered and before he knew it, Chan's lips were on his again.

Chan gently stroked his back and then detached himself from him.

"Maybe we should sleep now. We have to get up early tomorrow," he murmured.

"Are you driving us?"

"I'll do it. And now sleep well Min."

"Sleep well Channie," Minho murmured and snuggled in Chan's arms.

I really don't know if I should continue like this. Do you guys want to read what's going on in their daily life, like therapy and the apartment viewing and them only sleeping and eating for the next two weeks (their time of course) or should we skip time till the weekend trip? I would really appreciate your opinion as for me to know how I should write on.
