Because It's You | BOOK 2

Part 38

"Confrontation."

*

A fine day passed by and I had an idea of visiting someone since we're on a day off to the Café. I haven't really told Jeonghan about my plan so I quickly dressed up myself and rushed to his room and saw him sitting on his study table, facing his laptop.

"Jeonghan?"

"Yes?"

"I'm off to visit Mingyu today."

"Okay, take care." He shortly answered without even looking at me nor a tone on his voice has appeared.

"You're... allowing me? Just like that?"

"Yeah, enjoy." He answered and just continued to his work. Wow...

"Okay.." I lifelessly replied and left.

I'm pretty sure he's just frustrated about his work on his laptop which is why he's being all sulky. R-right?

"Just in time, the kids just fell asleep." Mingyu welcomed me as he opened the door. I didn't bothered smiling nor greeting him and just followed him inside the house.

"What's up? You on your period or something?" He asked and guided me to sit down on the dining area. I sighed as I finally sat down that caught him off guard.

"Hey, is everything alright?"

"No, Mingyu.. I'm really worried about Jeonghan."

"Why is that?"

"He's being so different these days, he.. Uh... Haven't been really that sweet to me, he often ignores me and earlier, he just lets me go unlike before that I even have to go on multiple fights with him before I can leave." I said.

"Do you know what could be a valid reason?" He asked and I shook my head.

"And I also noticed he's always on a phone call with someone, this morning he's on his laptop and a bunch of documents were complied on the corner of his room and I'm completely not allowed to touch it."

"Maybe he's just busy about something like a business."

"He mentions me every single business he has, Mingyu. But.. This one's unfair, it's different...." I said and placed both of my palms on my face.

"A-and it gets me really creeped out."

A moment of silence covered the whole room and just when overthinking had eaten me, I felt tears started to fall down and light sobs started noising out of my mouth.

"I-I don't know what to do with him anymore..."

I felt Mingyu's arms started to wrap around me and he feels so warm, it feels cozy to be locked in his arms as he caressed my back for an added comfort.

"You're scared to lose him."

"Have you not told him about what you feel yet?"

"I-I don't even know how, with all of these that has been happening recently, I don't know what I-I feel towards him already.." I said and my voice cracked I sobbed.

"Figure it out, Hana. You can't just let yourself crumble like this. You're not just crying because he's being mean or anything to you, you're definitely scared to lose him and overthinking has been eating you." He said and held both of my shoulders, making me look straight into his eyes.

"It's not late yet, don't be scared to confront him and tell him what has been making you like this. It's not healthy."

"I don't want to hint on anything like I'm being furious about him being like this because I-I definitely have no business here between you two. All I can do is comfort you right now." He said and pulled me into a hug once again.

Maybe Mingyu is right, maybe I'm just overthinking.

But.. I still have time yet.

"You're home already? You could've spent the whole day with hi—" I cut off Jeonghan and pushed him back inside the living room, I didn't minded about how aggressive I am at the moment and do what I have to. I need to know what the f-ck is wrong with you, Yoon Jeonghan.

"Hey, Hana—"

"What the f-ck do you mean by calling me by my name? Where's the 'darling'? Where's the sweet tone and clingy shits you always have for me, Yoon Jeonghan?" I raised my voice to him as I met his eyes that has been looking at me with confusion.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Please tell me you're just joking around, I'm asking you right now what the f-ck is going on with you!?" I asked and tears started to form and roll down my cheeks that shocked Jeonghan.

"W-what has been bothering you these days? W-why are you being so different? Where's Yoon Jeonghan, the one that calls me 'darling'?" I asked in desperation as tears consecutively fell down.

"I have been really bothered by how you're changing every single day that passes... A-and it gets me to the point that I-I'm getting paranoid about you disappearing to me one day! D-do you realize that?" I stattered but all he had been giving me in his blank stare. I waited for his reply for quite some time and what he just did is put his head down.

"Jeonghan.. Tell me what's wrong with you?" I asked once again and held his cold hands.

"Don't just keep it to yourself."

"T-tell me.."

It had been awhile and we just stood there as I looked at him straight though I know he won't look back at me.

He finally then moved, smiling and looked at me as he formed his lips into a straight line.

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer you at the moment." He said and removed my grip from his hands and walked out of the room, the next thing I heard is the sound of the engine outside and the horn before I realized he left me all alone already.

I fell down the floor, all helpless and tears started to fall down again and I gave off a bitter smile as I just stared at my hands.

"I-It's too late..."
