[9:22AM]
Cat hyung is calling...
"Hello?" Seungmin answered the call.
"Wahh~ It's Seungminnie time!"
Call ended.
Seungmin frowned at his phone as if it can be transferred to Minho, but then he shook his head and continued watching the drama he paused to answer the call.
It was their off day, everyone was chilling at their own new dorms, except some of them were not too chilling.

[10:25 AM]
Cat hyung is calling...
"Hello?" Seungmin answered the call.
"Wahh~ It's Lee Lino time!"
Call ended.
"Pfft" Seungmin almost bursted into laugh, wondering if Minho set an alarm just to do the call or if Minho is too boring at home. And again, Seungmin pressed 'play' at his drama and decided to ignore Minho's weird calls.

[11:26 AM]
Cat hyung is calling...
"Ugh, not again" Seungmin groaned but a smile could be seen faintly at the corner of his lips as he answered the call. "Yes, hyung?"
"Seungmo, can you bring me a towel?"
Seungmin frowned, genuinely confused with Minho's classics that he tried to pull that day.
"Hyung, we lived separately" he reminded.
"Yeah, but it took only a few minutes to reach my house, right? So get me a towel" Seungmin swore he could hear Minho's grin by his voice. The younger rolled his eyes.
"Hannie literally lived with you. Why can't you ask him?"
"3racha went to the studio"
"Then ask Iyen or Hyunjin"
"No, but why-- Yah, why can't you just bring me a towel? After all these times whenever you ask for one, I never complained, didn't I? Now why can't you--"
"You did complain--"
"--JUST BRING ME ONE TOWEL? JUST ONE TOWEL WHY IS THAT SO HARD? DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE? HUH? AM I NOT YOUR FAVORITE HYUNG? AM I NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND? HUH? AM I OR AM I NOT?" Minho raised his voice to win the conversation when Seungmin interrupted, as per usual as he always does when he is arguing with someone. It is a joking manner, nobody get offended, including Seungmin. The younger didn't notice but he already smile really wide at the beginning of Minho's nag. He will never get tired of grumpy whiny Minho.
"Okay okay, I'll get you a towel" Seungmin surrendered.
"Okay~ thank you, wang-chan!" Minho's voice changed drastically before he hung up the call. Seungmin chuckled at the older's behavior before he lazily got off the bed to get his spare towel.
----------
"Why are you here?" Jisung, at the living room, showed a startle quokka face when Seungmin opened the front door and walked in like it was his house. Seungmin froze, looked at the confused Jisung on the sofa.
"Aren't you at the studio with the other 3racha?" Seungmin blinked, started to doubt his own hearing sense after what he heard was completely different than the actual situation.
"No, we're on our off-day, why would we go to the studio?" Jisung blinked back. Then, he saw the towel in Seungmin's hand which made him even more confuse.
"Are you going to take a shower here? Why? Did your water supply got cut?" Jisung got genuinely curious with the whole situation.
Meanwhile, everything clicked in Seungmin's mind, making his stress level rocketing at instance. The urge to yell at the cat-looking hyung was beyond compare, especially when he saw Minho walked out of the bathroom with a towel nicely tied around his waist.
"Oh? Seungmin-ah, why are you here?" Minho acting dumb towards Seungmin but the younger knew him way too well, he could see the evil grin hidden behind the confused expression. Seungmin showed his unamused expression before walked out of the door with the spare towel still in his hand.

[12:31 PM]
Cat hyung is calling...
Seungmin eye-sided his phone that was located on the table in front of the sofa he, Felix, and Jeongin were sitting on. Jeongin was also there because he was bored since Chan was sleeping all day long, so he and Felix also took a peek at the phone, before Felix looked at Seungmin who seemed like refusing to answer the call.
"Minho hyung called you" Felix said, as if Seungmin did not notice the vibration from his phone.
"I know. Just ignore it" Seungmin said, focusing on the game they played on the tv. The other two decided to say none, and just clicking on their game console again. They played another two round before Seungmin started to put the console aside and took his phone.
6 missed calls from Cat hyung.
Cat hyung is calling...
"This guy is crazy" Seungmin mumbled before answering Minho's 7th attempt. "What?"
"Seungmo~ are you mad?"
"If I say I'm mad, then will you stop calling me?" Seungmin deadpanned, he leaned at the backrest as if he knew the conversation is going to be a long one. Felix, somehow, felt like he should not be in there, so he whispered to Seungmin 'I want to check if we have enough ingredients to make a brownie' and walked away to the kitchen. Jeongin also felt the same after that, so he just followed Felix without saying anything further. Minho was silent the whole time, Seungmin checked if the call is still connecting before put the phone back to his ears.
"Hyung? Hello?"
A little more silence.
"Hyung, I'm hanging up--"
"Seungmin-ah, today I ate bibimbap for breakfast" suddenly Minho spoke up, sounded really soft and sweet, unlike his playful side. Seungmin went silent this time, and decided to not interrupted after he has a gut feeling to not to.
"My mom sent me a lot of side dishes, so I decided to cook bibimbap for me and Hannie. We put them in a big bowl, but apparently it was too big, our stomaches almost bursted" Minho giggled at the other side of the line, before he continued.
"It was so delicious, indeed. But what a shame, I didn't have my morning coffee anymore"
Seungmin said nothing, but his heart ached. Now, he finally connected the dots and understood all that weird behaviors his hyung tried to pull out. He felt bad, but at the same time, butterflies appreared in his heart.
"Hyung...you missed me, aren't you?"
"...No, why would I? Yah, Kim Seungmin, I just said it so you will send a cup of coffee to me tomorrow morning. Are you that dumb that I need to spell it out?" Minho nagged for the second time of the day, and again, it made Seungmin formed a smile.
My tsundere cute cat.
"Nevermind, forget it. I'll hang up" Minho continued before hung up the call. Seungmin could not even manage to argue back, so he just looked at the 'call ended' screen on his phone before he grinned so wide like a fool in love. Jeongin and Felix were peeking from the kitchen's door.
"Oh my god, what a loser" Jeongin shook his head at Seungmin's simping behavior. Felix just chuckled at the comment, actually felt happy that his parents in another universe get along very well.

[1:28 PM]
Cat hyung is calling...
Seungmin smile. He noticed how Minho would call him around 1 hour apart. He already expecting that call, that was why he excused himself when he, Felix and Jeongin were making brownies together, with the excuse of 'I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back'. Seungmin thought he was smooth, but the other two can already tell his true intention. And right when he went into his room, his phone vibrated. The puppy took a few seconds before answering it, just to make sure it didn't look like he was looking forward to the call.
"Yes, hyung?"
"Seungminnie, now that we don't live together, can I just spam you any new SoonDongDori's videos?"
Seungmin's heart melted. Right, Minho would always dash to Seungmin's room back then whenever his parents sent him new videos of his cats and he would proudly show them to Seungmin, claiming how cute his little brothers are. Later on, when all the cutie dorms members gathered for dinner, only then Minho would show the videos to Jeongin and Felix. Although Seungmin is a dog person, Minho will always make sure Seungmin is the first one to see the video. It was something along with 'I want to make sure I share my happiness with the love of my life first'.
"F'course, hyung"
"Yes!" Minho cheered and hung up the call. A few seconds later, Seungmin received 7 chats from Minho, all full with his cats' videos.

[2:24 PM]
Cat hyung is calling...
Seungmin jumped from his seat on the sofa to grab his phone on the table and sprinted to his bedroom, leaving the startled Felix and Jeongin who watched his behavior in speechless. Seungmin closed the door, controlled his breath before answering it. "Yes, hyung"
"What are you doing?"
"Watching movie with Yongbok and Jeongin. Wanna join?"
"Nope. Have fun"
"Hyung, I really think you should stop calling and come to my dorm instead. I thought you miss me?"
"...neh, I'll pass. Hanging up. Love you, Seungmo" the call ended.
Okay, that's confusing. Seungmin's mind ran a thousand miles per hour, tried to figure out if Minho is sulking or he just simply too lazy to move. His eyes roamed around while his mind was busy figuring things out, when he just sighed when he could not get the answer.

[3:50 PM]
Puppy-chan is calling...
[4:20 PM]
Puppy-chan is calling...
Minho flinched, opened his eyes when his body finally registered the fainted vibration that came from his phone right next to his pillow. He blinked a few times to gain full consciousness, before he drowsily grabbed his phone and answered without even checking who called.
"h'llo.." His half-awaked voice answered, almost closed his eyes again.
"Why didn't you call me?" The person from the other side of the call sounded distressed. That snapped Minho's eyes open, and he quickly checked the contact number on his screen before putting it back at his ears.
"Seungmo" he called, and he stretched first before he managed to say anything else. Unfortunately, the sound he made when he was stretching did not really sound right to Seungmin's hearing sense. There was a mere short silence before Seungmin responded.
"Are you having 'fun' with Hannie right now?" Deadpanned, cold, deadly. Minho intantly sat bolt upright, panicked was visible on his face.
"NO. I was stretching! I just woke up from my afternoon nap"
"...oh, no wonder. You're supposed to call every 1 hour, I was panicking that you missed the timing twice" Seungmin responded, sounded softer now. Minho heaved a breath of relieve, and then the sleepiness rushed to him again, making him yawn before replying.
"Seems like you were waiting for my call?"
"...apparently, yes..." The younger almost sounded like a mumble, making Minho chuckled. The older threw his head back to the pillow again.
"Finally, my feelings have been reciprocated"
"I didn't say I miss you..."
"I didn't, either" Minho enjoyed the mind game, although his eyes already closed back to sleep. He almost disappeared to the dreamland before he heard Seungmin's voice again.
"Hyung"
"Hm?"
"Can I come over?"
Minho smile. Finally.
***
Minho did not even remember when did the call ended or when he went back to sleep, but the next thing he remember, he woke up to the familiar fragrance and warm embrace. He blinked twice before his eyes focused on the dark blue fabric right in front of him, it was the t-shirt that covered the chest underneath it. He looked up slightly, just to meet a beautiful puppy-like feature that slept soundly. He smile slightly at the view, before he slowly took his phone at the side of the bed.
[5:11 PM]
Cat hyung is calling...
Seungmin flinched as he woke up, then he took out his vibrating phone from his jeans' pocket. He looked at the caller's name, but instead of answering the call, he looked down to his chest, meeting the eyes of his lover.
"When did you arrive?" Minho asked softly, sounded like a whisper as he ended the call.
"Probably 10 minutes ago. You sleep so soundly, I don't wanna wake you up" Seungmin replied while they both simultaneously put their phones aside, hands went back to wrap around the older's upper arm and the younger's waist. Minho snuggled even closer, he missed the warmth and the scent so much as if he hasn't felt it for years.
"Finally resting" Minho mumbled unconsciously, eyes went shut again. His words made Seungmin smile, then before he replied, he kissed the top of the older's head first, making the latter smile too.
"Sorry I took awhile to read the room"
"Hm. It took you 12 calls, actually" Minho responded, making Seungmin chuckled.
"Maybe next time you can just admit that you miss me and want me to come over, hyung"
"Not a chance"
"Heh, stubborn cat"
"Dumb puppy"
"You love this dumb puppy"
"As if you don't love this stubborn cat?"
"I do. I love my cute cat hyung"
Minho was in messy blushing attack, and Seungmin knew it even without looking at him. Minho hit his chest lightly, causing both of them to chuckle.
"Shut up. I want to sleep" Minho changed the topic right away, and he pulled Seungmin even closer so that he could rest his head at his chest. Seungmin just let him, and before he dozed off to sleep again, he kissed the top of Minho's head again.
