Good To Me (WonBoo)

Thirteen

"Boo Seungkwan! You're back!" Mingyu hollers as the clinic entrance door opens, revealing Seungkwan with a bright smile.

"Missed me?" Seungkwan teases him and marches all the way in.

"Not at all- Ouch!" Mingyu pouts when Seungkwan hits his shoulder. "Everyone's been looking for you, where have you been?"

"Just somewhere."

"Oh, why are you here then? You're going to get Bookkeu back?"

"No. I just want to visit him. You know, I can't still take him home." Seungkwan sulks. Mingyu knows that Seungkwan is referring to Wonwoo.

"Eh? I think he won't mind? He's fostering a kitten!" He says with a smile then the door opens again, it was Wonwoo with Jack. "Oh, there he is, Wonwoo hyung!"

Seungkwan watches Mingyu with disbelief as he greets Wonwoo enthusiastically. "It wasn't that long since I was gone. Are you two already close?"

"No. He's just being nosy." Wonwoo deadpans. He lays Jack on the counter and Mingyu was quick to pet the kitten.

"Are you here for Jack's checkup? Mrs. Seo will be late for an hour. She did mention that Jack's already fine and I just need to take off his bandage." Mingyu says while examining Jack's injured leg. "So.. what will you do next?"

"What next?" Wonwoo asks confused.

"Will you adopt him or not?"

Wonwoo pauses for a moment as he stares at the kitten. "I don't know."

"If you don't really want to take him home then you can leave him here and he'll be up for adoption."

"Yah, Wonwoo hyung. I know you like Jack, why don't you just take him home?" Seungkwan intervenes and reaches for Jack to pet him as well. "I mean, I'm fine with it."

Wonwoo pauses again. He glances at Mingyu and Seungkwan who both have pleading eyes. The two clearly wants him to adopt the cat. "Fine. I'll just adopt him."

"Good!" Mingyu cheers.

"I'll go off. I need to work. Let Seungkwan have him after you're done with Jack." Wonwoo says before facing his back at the two and heads out.

"Alright! Drive safely!" Mingyu yells at him.

"Dude, what was that? Last time I checked you want to slit his throat?!" Seungkwan beams at Mingyu. His stares of disbelief are back again.

"He's nice? I mean, while you were gone he's almost here every day to get Jack treated. He's visiting Bookkeu as well so I don't think he minds taking him home."

Seungkwan's eyes widen and blinks several times. It was as if he heard it wrong. "Are you sure?"

Mingyu nods and gestures at the mini playground at the side where puppies are playing including Bookkue. "Uhuh, he bought a whole pack of treats for your white fluffball and play with him before he gets home."

Seungkwan didn't notice the tiny smile forming on his lips. "Wonwoo hyung can be nice when he wants to."

Mingyu pets Jack again and sit on one of the stool. He started taking off the bandage from the kitten carefully. "I don't understand. You two. You both look really close but you hate each other. Can't really get it."

"I don't know. We just turn out like that. Honestly, Wonwoo hyung was nice to me back then when we first met and everything changes after my mom got diagnosed with blood cancer." Seungkwan mutters, eyes on Bookkue who is playing. His smile already fades.

"Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that. You're mom's already up there, right?" Mingyu suddenly felt sorry. It must've been a sensitive thing to talk about and he doesn't want to set the mood off.

"Yeah.." Seungkwan nods. He sighs deeply and faces Mingyu. "Mrs. Jeon and my mom were really close. They both grew up in an orphanage and their bond never ends even after they got adopted. They were like sisters, you know."

Mingyu sets his ears for Seungkwan. He doesn't want to interfere when Seungkwan is opening up to him like this.

"Their bond was so strong that when mom was diagnosed with blood cancer and has a small chance of living, Mrs. Jeon volunteered to take care of me so that mom can just focus on her medication," Seungkwan explains, now looking down while fiddling with his fingers. "That's also the time when Wonwoo suddenly changed. Both his parents want to adopt me and he was so against it."

"I thought you two were close back then, why doesn't he wants you to be his brother?"

"I don't know." Seungkwan shrugs. "That's how he started bullying me. It makes me feel like he's always pushing me away. Away from his life. How ironic because I really really like him back then."

It wasn't the first time that Mingyu heard Seungkwan used to like Wonwoo but they have a complicated relationship that kind of stresses him out as well. "How about now..?"

"First love never dies they say. But I don't think it is still the same because I can't keep liking the person who hates me the most." Seungkwan shows a bitter smile. "So I live through. Moved on. From my mom's death and from him. I'm quite strong now."

"I can see that. You've gone a long way, Seungkwan." Mingyu chuckles, easing the heavy mood. He reaches for Seungkwan's hair and messes it playfully

"Thanks." Seungkwan couldn't help but giggle. "Anyway, can I stay here for the whole day?"

"I'll let you have this pet carrier bag so Jack can travel more comfortably," Mingyu says as he shows Jack who's comfortably sleeping inside the carrier.

Wonwoo who just came from work goes straight to the clinic to get Jack back home. Also, there is still Seungkwan who stayed at the clinic the whole day and now he's carrying Bookkeu. He's trying his best to convince Wonwoo to take him home.

Wonwoo stares at him for a while before sighing in defeat. "Alright."

"For real?!" Seungkwan beams at him that caught him off guard. He almost stumbles from his own feet.

"A-are you deaf?" He yells at Seungkwan while stuttering for a reason he doesn't know.

"Yay! Thank you!" Seungkwan jumps and hugs his puppy. "Bookkeu, we're going home!"

Mingyu laughs at the two who continues to bicker on their way out of the clinic.

"Hey, wait," Mingyu calls them, making the two stop. They both face the tall guy.

With a grin on his face, Mingyu snaps a photo of the two. Wonwoo carrying the pet carrier bag with Jack in it while Bookkue is in Seungkwan's arms.

"Yah! What was that for?" Seungkwan asks confused. His eyebrows knotting.

Mingyu shrugs with a grin. "You look like some big happy family. Might as well take a snap."

Boo Seungkwan blinks several times as he feels the heat rise up to his face.

"Boo Seungkwan, why are you blushing?" Mingyu laughs that makes Seungkwan red than he is.

"Cut the crap- We're going home!" Just like that, Seungkwan storms out of the clinic with Wonwoo following him.

Wonwoo parks the car near the apartment building so they both have to walk their way home. Seungkwan was silently walking when his phone vibrates. He fishes it out from his pocket and sees a message from Mingyu.

It was the photo that he took just earlier. He sends the photo to Seungkwan with a caption of heart emoji.

Seungkwan feels his cheeks heat up again. "Kim fucking Mingyu."

"What was that?" Wonwoo asks as he heard Seungkwan grumbling beside him.

"N-nothing."

Seungkwan bit his lower lip, totally annoyed with Mingyu. But he's more annoyed by the fact that he feels his chest flutter. Why the hell am I blushing?!
