Because it's you | BOOK 1

Part 57

"Just trust me."

*

"Lately, I've been.. I've been thinking, I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier..."

"Even though I might not like this, I think that you'll to be happier.. I want you to be happier.."

"Then only for a minute (only for a minute!) I want to change my mind co'z this just don't feel right to me, I want to raise your spirits.. I want to see you smile but know that means I'll have to leave..."

Maybe, it's a right choice to leave you for now... So that I won't ever put your life on the line again..

Mingyu rolled his eyes and sighed in humiliation after hearing my words.

"Then you could've just went out and came to him then. Ugh, people. Why are you wasting your time hiding from him if you miss him, huh? Have you lost your mind?" Mingyu said and I looked down in disappointment.

"You just don't get it. I'm trying my best to avoid him because I don't want to cause another trouble for him. He almost died because of me and I don't want that to happen again. And you, why is it even a big deal to you? If it pisses you off, then just get out of my way." I said and was about to turn away when he held my hand.

"You think I'm the bad guy here? I already told you that I just want you to be safe and yes, you had the right decision on leaving him." He said that made me frozen on my spot and he came closer to me, intertwining his hands to mine.

"Because I can take care of you more than him. I will protect you and promise that no trouble will approach you, if there is, then we'll make it out together..." He said and looked down at me with sincerity that I warmly felt.

"I know you had your troubles on leaving him because his leftover traces still haunts you. But..."

"I'm here and I can help you. Just trust me and never doubt anything I'd do." He said and pulled me into a hug, resting his chin on my head. I somewhat felt emotional and the next thing I knew is that I'm crying between his arms.

"Shh... It's okay. Cry it all and so you will be happy later.."

"I-I'm just nothing to him.. I-I only changed h-him.. A-and why... Why does it hurts me leaving him..?"

"M-mingyu.. I-I... I-I don't know why.. I never had any feelings towards him but.. But why the f-ck does it hurts me so much to leave him?! Why?!" I sobbed and started hitting Mingyu's chest and he just lets me do it while he tried to calm me and caress my back.

"Because you had your memories together even if it's only for a short time. You had your good times together and you chose to keep it as a happy memory which is why it hurts you to leave him. It will hurt you for now, but then you'll realize as the time goes by... You're getting used on being without him. You said you haven't had any feelings for him, right?" He longly stated as I looked up at him, he then wiped my tears and smiled with bitterness as he looked at me.

"It's just that you had a bond and a friendship which you don't want to lose." He said and kissed my forehead and hugged me once again that somewhat comforted me, honestly.

"Don't worry about losing anything  alright? With me, you'll gain anything and you'll be worry-free." He said that made me smile. I know I can rely on him even if we fight at times.

"And I still can't forget what you told me when we're in the Hospital." He said and cheekily grinned at me.

"You said you'll treat me out! Come on, it's already hometime and I feel so hungry already!" He exclaimed like a kid and pulled me out.

Gosh, seems like earlier he's like a man comforting his girlfriend but now he's acting like a 5 years old kid who wants his mother to buy him ice cream. The duality, sir.

As promised, we went to a restaurant and he ordered almost half of the menu. Gosh, RIP my money.

When the foods arrived, I almost choked on my salad as I saw what is the foods mostly served.

Seafood.

"Gosh, you surely are a sea monster." I said and he looked at me with doubt.

"Oh shit. I forgot you're allegic to them." He said and scratched the back of his neck that made me laugh.

"Don't worry. I'll just eat the ones that has no seafood. But promise me nothing will go to waste and you'll eat everything, okay? My money shouldn't go to waste." I said and he gave me a salite and a wink.

"Yes, ma'am!"

And so after a while, we're almost done eating and he's still happily chowing down the foods on the table which I quite adored to watch.

"Slow down. You might get a stomachache." I said and took a spoonful of my own food and he looked at me with brows furrowed as he pointed the side of his lips.

"Huh?" I asked and he sighed in defeat, taking a napkin from the side of the table and wiped the side of my lips that made me frozen for awhile.

"I said you got something right there." He said.

"W-well.. Thanks."

"Oh, have you heard about the Campus break?" He asked and I nodded.

Right, there will be a whole week School break and that means there will be no schoolworks for a whole week, just straight up vacation.

"Have you been planning to do anything?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I just planned on staying at home, why?" I asked and he sat properly, scratching the back of his neck as he looked away from me.

"I was thinking if you perhaps wanted to run away with me?"
