Drunk Games

Chapter 28: Answer

Hoshi stood there extremely shocked at what just happened. He didn't know how to react. He wasn't sure if what was happening was a joke but when he looked at Mingyu he knew it wasn't a lie. He saw the taller looking at him with sincere curious eyes. Just as he was about to say something his phone rang. He took it out of his bag, it was from Woozi.

H: I need to take this can you wait a second?

Mingyu nodded with a smile. He was extremely annoyed. He never hated Woozi but the this particular timing was extremely bad. As Soonyoung talked on the phone his anxiety increased. Why did I have to ask him out on the same day he suffered so much trauma from his best friend? He thought. Should I run away from here?

H: I need to get home fast. Woozi hyung is already at my door. I forgot we had practice.

M: Ohh! Do you need a ride home ? Don't say no or it'll get extremely weird.

H: (smiling at Mingyu's dialog) I wasn't going to. Let's go.

The car ride home was a little quieter than usual as both of them were lost in their thoughts. Mingyu didn't want to leave Hoshi alone with Woozi on a day like today but it would get weirder if he stayed. He didn't want to look like a clingy person and reduce his chances of getting accepted by Hoshi. Somewhere in his mind he was relaxed that he had let it out but he also felt that the timing wasn't right.

M: You don't need to think too much. I really like you and I'll take care of you as much as I can. You can talk to me like you usually do and we can keep it a secret until you're sure you want this or not. I just don't want you to shut me out ! Even if you say no. Let's still be friends. I hope you can consider everything before answering me though.

H: (nodding quietly) Mingyuya ! Can i ask you something?

M: Yeah sure why not!

H: umm so tell me... Why do you like me? No wait! tell me when did you started liking me? No wait ! Ugh this is difficult.

M: (laughing) I don't know when or where it started Hosh. I just know that when I'm with you I'm myself. I can laugh freely. I feel happy just looking at you. You have no idea how cute you are. Was it at the party ? Or when you thought I had a sugar daddy. I really don't know when it happened, I just know that I found myself longing for you. Does that answer your question!?

Hoshi had gone silent. Mingyu was always a person who spoke his mind. He was always clear on his thoughts and what he wanted. Yet Soonyoung wasn't expecting such a straight answer. He couldn't stop blushing and his heart was almost out of his chest. He had to remind himself to breathe. That's when they reached Hoshi's apartment.

H: Hmm.. Can you give me some time? I'll think about it, since it was so sudden I don't really know how to respond. (Making circles with his right foot looking down shyly)

M: How about you let me know after the festival? I wouldn't want to disturb you during your practice. (Hoshi nodded) I'll see you around Hosh. Don't fall for Woozi hyung meanwhile.

Hoshi jogged up the stairs where Woozi was waiting and for the first time his heart didn't flutter looking at Woozi.
