Four

The one that got away

As childish and selfish as it seems, Minseok ignored Baekhyun and tried to focus on his studies. Baekhyun kept on calling, chatting and texting him on the first few weeks he arrived but gave up after a few more weeks. He felt relieved at least he can move on but at the same time weeping because he wasn’t able to end the heartbreaks properly. 

Minseok got a part time job and was able to save up to own a car on his third year. He missed to go home to his hometown for a few years as he was so preoccupied with schoolworks and his job. Thoughts of Baekhyun still linger but he just brushes it off more easily than before. Thanks to his new found friend, Han. A friend who knows about his past. A friend who is there and not just for a companion’s sake. Luhan and Minseok met while being on the same classes. Both got so close along with Yixing and Kris. He was able to focus more on his new life and thought he can finally forget of his past. 

 

Not until one night. 

 

—————————

“Ok now, Min you can go home. You’ve been here for more than two hours beyond your shift. Tao can just help me close the store.” Kyungsoo, the cute round eyed man demanded.  Minseok just nodded and went home. It was already 12 midnight. Luckily, he doesn’t have classes the next day, a Saturday. 

As he was driving to his small apartment half paid by his salary and half from his parents, he almost hit a very drunk person on the street. The guy wore a black hoodie and bangs covered his eyes. He stopped his car and checked if the man was alright. When he saw the man didn’t move, he quickly grabbed him and drove him to the nearest hospital. He almost stopped the car when the man suddenly moved, fixed his hair but eyes still closed. Minseok’s vision was so clear. His eyes couldn’t trick him. The man sitting next to him is Baekhyun himself. The man he was trying to ignore and forget after all these years. He still looks the same. He just grew a little but everything else is the same. 

“I’m okay, I didn’t get hit. I am drunk I’m sorry” the other man talked while eyes still closed. Minseok was about to answer when he felt his lap was wet. Baekhyun just threw up on his lap. The man was already so drunk that he seemed dead on Minseok’s lap. Minseok watched him when tears were dropping from Baekhyun’s eyes. The man was crying while sleeping on his own vomit. 

Minseok didn’t know what to do.

Chapter 15: I think about who's the one that got away is xiumin.. He should be telling and find the truth rather than running away on the first thing he found..

Chapter 15: Aww, this story was cute :3 Really enjoyed reading it, because you're writing style was somehow different and it was very straight forward. Looking forward to your next work! ^^
And to the question: I think Baekhyun is the One, because he is no longer in a toxic relationship with Chanyeol and got away from it. It's a little difficult for me to interpet it due to translation.... xD
PS: I just noticed Baekhyun is also The One in CBX's MV ;D

Chapter 15: Luhan’s character can also be considered as the one who got away. It’s just that my Xiubaek heart dominates in this story :)

Chapter 10: Aaaaah! >_< That was cute. And I'm happy that everything goes well betwenn him an Luhan so far. And "chill & watch Netflix" ... I guess that also is enough in order to skip a scene xD

Chapter 9: That kiss got me shook! Didn't expect it so suddenly, but I had the feeling in the earlier chapters that he might have some feelings.... And I find it funny how boldly Minseok confronted Baekhyun. And so Baekhyun knew that Minseok might have had some deeper feelings for him ?
Your story in general is so straight forward, I like it ! :D

Chapter 8: I somehow start getting conflicted feelings about the relationships I guess ?? Like of course I'm totall rooting for my otp, but somehow I have the feeling that Chanbaek might actually become a thing, because Baekhyun finds comfort in Chanyeol and they end up in different directions ?? D: And Baek want to rekindle their previous relationship, but they weren't a couple.... >_> (though I hope they'll be of course)
