The platinum-haired is working a nightshift again.

He hasn't for quite sometime actually.

Minho was supposed to do it but his brother had some personal urgent matter and he had to leave in a hurry, asking if the older could come in on his day off.

Naturally he agreed, not minding to work with Jisung at this hour.

The bar is not that crowded at this time of the day being it a Wednesday at the end of the month.

Some customers where there and already served leaving both males enough time to talk and clean the counter.

Namjoon takes a wet clove and begins to clean the dirty surface of the wooden counter.

Jisung puts the used dishes and glasses in the dishwasher.

"So Jisung, how is work? I haven't talked to you for a long time." The squirrel like guy blushes and turns his face so the older doesn't see his flustered cheeks.

"Well ... Minho hasn't made a move yet if that's where you're getting at." Namjoon chokes on his own saliva from the laughing.

The younger blushes even more, trying as best as he can to focus on his work.

"I didn't mean that but I guess we can take that turn." The older says between coughs.

"I ... I ... and what about you and Lee Jr?" Now it's Namjoon’s turn to fluster.

"First we talk about his older brother then we continue. You like him don't you? Why don't you do the first move if you see that he won't?" Jisung finished his work and faces the older leaning against the sink.

The brunette whipes his wet hands on his black uniform pants.

"I do. He's so handsome. Like I'm being serious I've never seen such a gorgeous human being! And I guess you already saw Felix dancing?" Namjoon approaches the sink to wash the dirty cloth.

Once there he opens the water to wet it.

"Definitely have and he's awesome by the way." Jisung nods and rests his hands on his elbows, crossing his hands.

"Well Minho is equally as good. He can control his body so beautifully." The younger closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"When we talk here at work ... and I'm just so stressed out I wish he held me on his embrace. I wish to make him dinner, to get small pecks on my lips to reassure me of how much he loves me ... but I can't do anything about that." The brunette sighs and looks down.

Namjoon closes the water and keeps twisting the clove so it gets dry.

"You know you can also do the first step and I can even help you with it if you prefer having someone near. And don't be afraid to tell me details about what your desires are. I won't judge you if you tell me you want to do more then just cuddle and kiss." Jisung stares at the older.

"I can't refuse the first offer, if he doesn't do it in the near future I will have to do it. Preferably I'll wait for him to do it though." The platinum-haired lies the cloth on the sink hanging.

"And about the other thing ... I don't feel any sexual desire nor attraction to people." The taller looks puzzled at the other, tilting his head.

"What do you mean?" Jisung looks away, seeming to be embarrassed.

"I'm an asexual. That means I don't like sex. It always depends on the asexual of course, but for me I can touch and kiss but nothing more then that. Which is why I never talk about sex, why I get uncomfortable with that topic and why none of my other relationships worked." Namjoon holds the younger's face making him lock eyes with him.

"Is that why you are so afraid of making the first move?" The platinum-haired asks in a supportive tone.

The smaller simply nods. "You know that love is more then just sex, right? Soulmates for instance, it's a meeting of souls, no matter their gender, nation, body or language. They were made for each other. Of course making love can be very good too, to touch all the body but you already said you don't mind cuddling and kissing. Love is more then just touch Jisung. It's actions, little things that show how much we care for the other. Sex and words are hollow, just saying that you love someone and having sex doesn't prove anything. Actions do. When no-one is watching, when it's not necessary, when it's not mandatory. If they still do it, that's love."

The younger hugs Namjoon tightly and the older reciprocates.

"Besides if he dares to hurt you I'll give him a lesson." The smaller smiles.

"I agree Namjoon. Soulmates are the purest form of love that transcends any kind of boundary and barrier." Namjoon nods placing a very small peck to the other's forhead.

They part again when the door opens to attend the customer.

The blond is shivering, wet to the core, only wearing shorts and face devastated.

His eyes puffy, his shoulders tangling from his almost lifeless body.

Jimin simply looks at the platinum-haired and he knows what to do.

Jisung understood too and opens the counter's door to let the older pass.

Namjoon runs to his friend and holds him in his embrace, placing the younger's head on his shoulder and rubbing his back.

Jimin holds on to dear life and lets out the most agonizing scream.

"It's gonna be okay Jimin, I'm here." The blonds hides his wet face on the older's chest and clutching onto his t-shirt strongly.

"I've lost them Namjoon ... I ... I messed up ... and they didn't understand me! They ... they gave up ... they didn't contest my statements .... they ... they ... didn't insist after ... they are gonna marry and leave me ..." The brunette looks at both with hurt eyes.

It hurts Namjoon so much to see his friend in this state that he can't help his own tears.

"You're not alone Jimin, I will never leave your side."
