my so called step brother | Yungi

chapter fourteen

Whenever Mingi tried to talk to Yunho, he was ignored. He wouldn't even talk, touch or look at him anymore. He was giving the younger boy the silent treatment and it sure got on his nerves. His trust was broken, his heart shattered. Mingi knew how fast Yunho gets attached to other people but he also knew he had a hard time trusting them, because of the many heartbreaks he went trough.

Still, Mingi couldn't take it anymore. This was driving him insane, after all he lied about getting drunk. It's not like he was completely wasted that night, let's just say a little tipsy.

He had been trying his very best to make things right, to only meet Yunho's gaze, just once would be enough. Today is Tuesday, meaning he is free tomorrow.

Planning to confront him properly tomorrow to know why exactly he still is mad at him. Why can't he just forgive him? Or at least talk about it, communication is key to a good relationship with someone. Doesn't matter if it's a friend, a lover or even family, everyone should be able to talk things out. But Yunho seems to be the stubborn type to hold grudges.

"Mingi, pay attention please!" His teacher shouted trough the classroom,  making his classmates turning to him in sinc. His friends gave him concerned looks, Mingi just shook his head in return, to which they turned back around in their seats and continue the work.

It's true that he is spacing out a lot today during classes, but Yunho kept appearing in his head. Multiple questions popping up. "Is he fine without me?", "Did he ever care for me?", "How can he act like I don't even exist anymore?" and so on. He tried concentrating and fill in the blank papers in front of him, but it was hard, so hard.

"Hey mate, you alright?" Yeosang asked at the lunch table. Mingi looked up from the plate of food he was just messing with.
"Yeah, I guess so." Mingi whispered.
"What's wrong? You can tell us anything." Wooyoung added.
"I got into a fight with Yunho that night we went out again. He won't speak to me ever since." He explained.
"Why did you two fight?" Yeosang questioned.
"Well, to make it short, I promised him I wouldn't drink anymore for some reasons, but I broke that promise. And I knew he hated that, but I still did it. I freaking looked into his eyes and lied to him, multiple times the same day." Tears were forming in his eyes, but he quickly blinked them away.
"It's understandable that he is mad at you, after all you promised. But, are you sure that's all you're thinking about?" San asked.
"Well, I don't know, I just miss him. I miss the daily conversations, I miss falling asleep being hugged in his arms, I miss his laugh, I miss the glances he gave me. I just, just miss everything. I never thought I'd be able to be attached to a human being in this way. But I did, and now it's fucking with my head."
The three boys looked at each other, then back at Mingi. Mingi rubbed his eyes and started picking his food again.
"Mingi, are you sure, you know just in case, that you don't love that boy?" Yeosang asked rather hesitant.
"What? No, no! I've never been in love." Mingi finally looked up again. He was confused. No, his heart was confused, but his mind isn't.
"That's why, maybe you don't realise your feelings just yet for Yunho." Wooyoung said, carefully watching Mingi's reaction as he spoke these words. But Mingi didn't reply to that, he simply gathered his belongings and excused himself from the table.

"You heard that too right? They sleep together!" Wooyoung whisper-shouted to his boyfriend and Yeosang. Pointing at the direction he walked in. They rolled their eyes and laughed at his reaction.

Coming home he directly went to his bedroom, not getting out for the rest of the evening. Mingi didn't even ate that night. He thought about what the boys said, but then again, what exactly is love?
