Cold to Love // Wang Yibo FF

eleven.

Time flies by so fast, day by day left us with or without smiles and before you know it, a week had gone by.

You had locked yourself in your room ever since you confessed to Yibo. He has neither texted nor called you. You also stopped replying all the messages in the group and ignoring calls.

"What was I even thinking! Why do I have to say a such stupid thing. So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay." you sobbed.

A knock was then heard on your bedroom door.

"Darling, you have a visitor again. Please come out dear. You've been in there for a few days and don't keep your guest waiting." your mom said before leaving.

You look in the mirror and scoff. Puffy eyes, red nose, messy and frizzy hair. A total mess. You comb your hair to look at least presentable to whoever came.

You drag yourself out of your room and made your way downstairs.

Yuju was sitting at the counter table while your mother was preparing drinks. Yuju looks at the stairs and runs over to you as you made your way down.

"Are you okay?" she ask as she pulls you into a hug.

You sniffled and nodded.

"Just a little sick. Must be the weather," you joked and walks over to the table.

"J-jay told me what happened. Yibo had told him." she said, looking down.

"It's nothing really," you said and drinks the fruit punch your mother had prepared.

"If it's nothing, why are you ignoring our texts and calls? We're all here for you! And worried." she says and holds onto your hands.

"Told you that I'm sick, took meds and fell into a deep long sleep," you chuckled.

"He wants you to know that he's sorry."

"For what?"

"For everything. You can't just push what happened Mina. You can't just ignore the feelings you have for him."

"I do not have feelings for him. It was a mistake." you said sternly.

"Was it really? If it was, why did you lock yourself up? I've been coming here everyday Mina."

You look at Yuju then at your mother who was at the corner. She nodded in agreement to Yuju words.

"I didn't know.."

You've been so caught up with the sadness that you don't know what's reality anymore.

"There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well. I didn't know how to make him to stop walking away from me. I just made myself look like a complete fool out there. I keep telling myself that everything is okay but it's just so hard." you said as tears starts to roll down.

Yuju pulls you into a tight hug and you wailed. Letting everything that you held inside out. Your mother covers her mouth to cover her sobs. It was her first time seeing you this way and she was upset that she wasn't there for you but with Yuju by your side, knowing someone is there for you, she feels relieved.

Yuju caress your back and hush you as you cries. Even though Yibo actions was not acceptable, she knows Yibo's true feelings for you.
