Eleven
Unsent LettersAt some point, they both had made a promise to not break each other. No matter what happens, they'd have each other's backs and they will always put their friendship a main priority. But here they are, pieces of their hearts and friendship scattered all over the ground.
Neither of them had expected this to happen. Yes, they've seen it coming but they didnt expect the outcome to be like this. All the days spent on roadtrips and fun adventures are over. All the nights consists of movie marathons and deep talks are over. What's left of their friendship are memories and broken promises.
Or that's what Wonwoo thought.
When Mingyu finally looks up from his shoes, Wonwoo prepares himself for whatever that's about to come. The younger has an unreadable expression on his face and it makes Wonwoo very flustered.
Then all of the sudden, Mingyu grins. And it makes Wonwoo even more flustered, because he's sure all of the things he said awhile ago were pretty nasty. Unless Mingyu's going bonkers again, then he might need to call Junhui and Jisoo for help.
Confused, Wonwoo asks, "What are you smiling about?"
Mingyu grins wider this time and Wonwoo is already reaching out for his phone. Mingyu stands up and approaches him before he leans in close while Wonwoo has to lean back because the distance between their faces are too near. Mingyu is staring straight into his eyes and the older gulps. His stomach his doing all types of flips and he suddenly feels like throwing up.
"So you like me." Mingyu whispers, grin still plastered on his face and it takes Wonwoo a few seconds to let the words sink in. And when it finally does, he pushes the younger away with a bewildered expression.
"Wh--what? No i dont! Good heavens, were you even listening to anything I've been saying?" He shrieks, breaking the night silence.
"Well, yeah. You pretty much listed all the things you hated about me but underneath all that, you like me. You hate me because I made you fall for me." Mingyu is grinning so wide right now and he's pretty it's going to stay this way for the next few days because he's just so happy.
On the other hand, Wonwoo is very stunned and flustered because first, he may not have expected a good ending but he certainly did not expect this either. Second, his secret is exposed. He knows there's no way he's going to lie out of this one. But he still tries anyway. He puts on the most serious face and he says very seriously, "Mingyu, I do not like you."
However, the said boy doesnt look convinced but he nods anyway. "Sure you dont, come on let's get back inside. You're going to freeze to death in this cold." Mingyu drags a very annoyed Wonwoo back to the dorm as the latter continues to deny and whine about how much he does not like Mingyu that way.
After walking Wonwoo back to his dorm room, he returns to his own with a big grin on his face. The moment he walks through the door, the others are eyeing him very suspiciously as Junhui asks him, "Where have you been?"
The younger casually shrugs the question off and grabs a slice of pizza on the counter. "Care to tell us what are you smiling about?" Junghan questions from the pantry doorway. hands gripping on a glass filled with juice.
"Nothing much, really. Its a great night." He tries to hide the excitement in his voice and hold back another smile but Seungcheol catches on immediately.
"Does this have anything to do with Wonwoo?"
The younger breaks into another grin, "Maybe."
And no one presses further as they nod in unison, knowing smiles on their faces. Mingyu finds that abit strange but he doesnt brings it up because he's just too happy to care about anything at the moment.
And so it begins. For the next few weeks, Wonwoo follows Mingyu around whenever he can or whenever the younger comes into sight which Mingyu doesnt mind about at all. The funny thing is, Wonwoo says the same thing each time they cross paths.
"I dont like you that way."
"I dont have feelings for you."
"I'm not gay."
"You're the definition of a perfect boyfriend but really, I dont like you."
Mingyu never actually gives a proper respond to all of those statements because he knows, no matter what he says, Wonwoo wouldnt believe him anyway. But of course, deep down, Mingyu knows the truth and he knows Wonwoo does too.
"Mingyu, you really need to stop flattering yourself." Wonwoo says one afternoon, though it sounds more like a whine. The said boy chuckles, "Okay hyung, I get it. How long are you going to keep this up anyway?"
"Until you actually believe me." Wonwoo huffs before he pouts.
Mingyu proceeds to ruffle the older's hair with a teasing smile as he says, "Okay, then we'll see how much longer can you withstand."
And with that said, he walks away with a smug look on his face, leaving a very frustrated and dumbfounded Wonwoo behind.
