Mino sighed as he looked at Byul and Mingyu and turned away, hearing the conversation they just had

“Because saying goodbye to you would be so hard for me, it would be so hard to look you right on the face and tell you goodbye, because I still miss you sometimes but I know I screwed everything Gyu-ah…I know we can’t be together anymore”

“But you probably won’t remember any of this tomorrow. Just...why did they have to call me of all people? How did you have my new number?”

Mino walked home, noticing that Byul was not home yet.

Mino lay awake on bed, his mind full of thoughts. His head telling him to let Byul go but his heart telling him to hold on

*Mianhae Byul…* he sighed when he heard the main door open

“Mino oppa?” he heard Byul call as he pretended to sleep.

Byul walked to the dorm with a passed away Mingyu and knocked at the door

“Mingyu?” WonWoo called opening the door

WonWoo looked at the girl and Mingyu

“Mingyu!” he called and glanced once at the girl

“B-Byul?” he called, barely recognizing her noticing she had long hair now and the change in her looks

“Make sure he doesn’t call me anymore” Byul said as WonWoo took Mingyu in

“I’ll be leaving then” Byul said when WonWoo took out his sweater
“Stay warm” he said as Byul fought back her tears

“Geumawo” she said and turned around when Mingyu grabbed her hand

“Kkajima” he said as Byul looked at him

“Mianhae Gyu-ah, I like another guy now” she said throwing his hand away and turned around, walking around

Byul walked into the bus and stared outside. The heavy rain and the darkness

*I guess that’s what my life looks like*

“Mino” she muttered as she searched for her phone
“Did I leave my phone at home?” she muttered

Soon:

Byul walked to her apartment and walked inside

“Mino oppa?” she called looking at the dimly lit house

“Did he not come home yet?” she muttered as she walked to the room

“oppa” she muttered as she found Mino sleeping peacefully

“You’re sleeping” she smiled as she grabbed her towel and walked to the bathroom

Mino opened his eyes as he tried hard to swallow his hurt

*I wish I could ask you where you have been*

Byul soon walked back to the room wearing her pajamas and got to bed as she looked at Mino sleeping peacefully

“I thought you’d wait for me” she muttered

“oppa must have been so tired…I’m sorry if I got you worried oppa.”

Byul looked at Mino and smiled and softly pecked his lips

“Oppa, saranghae” she smiled as she lay next to him and drifted to sleep

Mino opened his eyes to see Byul’s back faced to him

*Sarang? Do you even know what that is?*

NEXT MORNING:

Byul opened her eyes as she looked at the time: 8am

“Mino oppa?” she called as she looked next to her

“Where’s he?” she muttered finding the empty bed

“Oppa?” she called walking to the kitchen looking around for Mino

She called his number, which was left unanswered

Byul dialed Seunghoon’s number which was answered after a few rings

“Neh Byul-ah~” he answered

“Is Mino there?” Byul asked

“Neh…wae? Yah did you guy fight?” Seunghoon asked

“Aniyo, I just woke up and he was not there so…” Byul said

“He came here early in the morning, we are now heading to the saloon to get our hairs done” Seunghoon said

“Is he nearby?” Byul asked

“He’s having a shower” Seunghoon said

“Tell him to give me a call” Byul said

“Neh Byul-ah~” Seunghoon said in a happy voice

*What’s wrong with Mino oppa?* she thought hanging up

Byul waited the whole day for Mino’s call, which never came

Byul looked at the time which showed 1am and sighed as she tried to stay awake

“Song Mino what’s wrong?” she muttered washing her face for the hundredth time to stay awake.
