Mino looked at Byul, lost in her own thoughts.

Since that day, she refused to go out of the house or meet the boys.

“Byul-ah, you want to go shopping with oppa today?” Mino said as Byul continued to look outside

“You know you have to go to tutor the kids too or you could get kicked out” Mino said

“I applied for leave” she said, blankly

“Byul-ah, you know this won’t do…you haven’t had food for a few days now.” Mino said looking at her

“Oppa…I want to be alone” she said resting her head on her hands

“Is there anything oppa can do before leaving?” Mino asked

“Ani” she said as Mino sighed

“Take care Byul-ah…oppa will be back by 8” Mino said hugging her

Mino sighed as he walked out Byul’s room

*Why do you have to be so sad Byul~ you deserve to be happy…if not with me then at least with Mingyu*

       ~And what hurt me the most was that she was so lost in her sadness…~

Mino walked to the living room to grab his cardigan when he dropped Byul’s bag

“Mianhae~” he muttered picking it up when a diary fell

“She maintains a personal diary? And she didn’t tell me? Yah my Byul all grown up” Mino smiled

*12 scents of Kim Mingyu*

Mino paused for a while and sighed

*Why does it always have to be him…*

“Forgive me just this one last time Byul” Mino muttered as he took the diary and left the house

Byul stared outside

*It’s raining* she smiled a bit as she thought of Mingyu

*Why do I always regret leaving you? Kim Mingyu, did you really mean what you just said?*

Mino looked at the time which showed half past 7

“Well done boys” the staff cheered

Mino took out his phone and dialed Mingyu’s number. After a few rings

“Yobosaeyo?” A voice answered

“Kim Mingyu?” Mino called

“Aniya…it’s SeungCheol”

“Where’s Mingyu?” Mino asked

“How’s Byul?” SeungCheol asked

“She is fine” Mino said, sighing a bit

“Mingyu’s in the same condition as her…” SeungCheol said

“That’s why I need to talk to him, I need to meet him, get him on the phone” Mino said

“I can’t do that. He doesn’t speak with anyone of us” SeungCheol said as Mino sighed

“Are you guys at the dorm?” Mino asked

“Neh” SeungCheol answered

“I’ll be there in a few minutes” Mino said

“Sure” SeungCheol said hanging up.

Mino drove to Seventeen’s dorm with the book in his hand

*I don’t know why I am doing this*

He soon reached the dorm and rang the door bell. The door was answered by SeungCheol who let him inside

“Where’s he?” Mino asked as SeungCheol pointed to a door

“I’ll make it quick” Mino said as SeungCheol nodded
“the dorm is usually empty like this?” Mingyu asked

“The boys went for an outing, I couldn’t leave Mingyu here like this could I?” SeungCheol smiled

“Indeed we are the leader line” Mino said proudly before walking to the room.

Mino entered the dim lighted room

“Yah Kim Mingyu, how long are you going to sulk?” Mino asked walking towards Mingyu who was busy doing something on his desk

“Who let you in? Get out” Mingyu said continuing to so what he had been doing

“Isn’t that mean of you, not sending your leader for an outing?” Mino asked standing at the doorway

“I never stopped him, now get lost” Mingyu said looking at Mino

“How long are you two planning to hurt like this?” Mino asked as Mingyu turned away

“It’s our business, why interfere?” Mingyu asked

“Call her and make it right Mingyu, I’m telling you that as a hyung” Mino said

“Wae? Why should I? So that she can dump me one last time?” Mingyu asked standing up

“Just tell me why I should do that” Mingyu said as Mino looked at him

“Because I love her and it hurts to see her hurting…” Mino said as Mingyu looked at him

“Here, I found this in her room, don’t let her know it was me” he added before leaving as Mingyu looked at the book

*12 scents of Kim Mingyu*
