Seventeen Imagines III

#56 "My heart beats for him?"

Hello. My name is Kim Mingyu and today is not my birthday. However, this day will be memorable. I am suffering from a short term memory lost after a friend of mine hit my head with his guitar. If you are thinking that it was Jihoon's doing, then you're a genius.

"Kim Mingyu!" Wonwoo hyung called me.

Okay. So this is the weird part: Well after I lost my memory, I found myself getting all nervous around my other male friend, Wonwoo.

"Can I..." Wonwoo hyung uttered as he approached me with his stoney expression.

Not finishing to hear his plea, I ran away while clutching my chest.

It's weird. Every time he's near, my heart is pounding so bad and my feet automatically moves on its own.

I tried to research on Google about my bizarre situation. Spending hours of searching, one answer came in the end: I like my male friend.

But still... I SOMEHOW COULDN'T ACCEPT THIS.

I kept on thinking that maybe, it was all because of my head injury! I mean... We are both guys! Why am I feeling this?!

Since I am so dedicated to deny my feelings, I went to Jihoon and asked a thing.

"Jihoon, can I ask something?" I sat beside him who is eating his snack which he rarely does.

As if he's not anticipating to my next words, he nonchalantly asked, "What do you want?"

Turning my head side by side, I made sure no one will hear our conversation except us. Then I opened my lips and slipped whisper like words, "You and Hoshi are close friends, right?"

Jihoon frowned a little with my question. "We are friends but he is irritating. So what?"

I leaned a little closer and accidentally held his pale hand. "You see, do..."

"Sh*t!" Jihoon cursed, quickly pulling his hand away. Well, he's a person who hates skinship.

Thinking about it, if I am really attracted to guys, I should have feel something when our hands touched. But I did not.

"Speak without touching," Jihoon complained.

I nodded my head like a good kid. "Yes sir."

"So what is it?"

I took a deep breath. Then, "Do you think it's possible to fall in love with your male friend?"

"..."

If only I could turn back time, I should not have asked that question.

"What nonsense are you...!" Jihoon shouted as he picked up his guitar and hit my head again.

Black.

When I opened eyes, that's how I realized that I lost my consciousness.

"What happened?" I murmured.

Doing my best to pull my heavy eyelids upward, I looked at my other co-members who are looking at me with anxiousness on their faces. Everyone is worried, except Jihoon, who somehow looks guilty instead.

"You're not dead, aren't you?" Jihoon murmured. "That's your fault! Talking nonsense!"

I shut my eyes again. Everyone is here except Wonwoo hyung.

"What's going on?" A baritone voice that made my eyes opened. As I saw up quickly, I saw Wonwoo's face under the lights.

My heart beats again and cold bullet of sweats ran down from my head.

"Mingyu fainted," Seungkwan answered him.

"Ahhh," Wonwoo nodded. He met my gaze and asked, "You okay bro?"

Then it all came back to me. Now, I remembered why I am feeling this whenever Wonwoo is around. My memory came back.

"Ohh, Mingyu, I forgot to tell you," Wonwoo uttered.

The answer is very simple. It is not because I fell in love with him, but rather, it was...

"You haven't paid your debt. When will you pay it?" Wonwoo asked.

Right. I still have unpaid debts from him.
