"thanks for today, minnie. i really needed it." momo wrapped her arms around his neck, standing up on tippy toes to plant a soft kiss on his cheek. her fingers brushed against the baby hairs on the back of his neck which stood up as the cold air blew against him. he felt his cheeks warm up and she stifled a giggle. 

"don't think twice (heh) of calling me when you need to, momo." seungmin wrapped her in a tight hug, letting his chin rest on her shoulder. he inhaled her scent, reminding him of an orchid in summer, the somewhat strong scent of flowers which could be distinguishable, but mixed together. filling him with a warm feeling, immediately replaced with one of guilt. a painful sting in his chest when all he could think of at the moment was the fact that it wasn't you he was hugging. 

momo looked up at him gratefully when they pulled apart, momo giving his hand one last squeeze as she bid him goodbye. seungmin felt warm and fuzzy inside. he watched her walk away and disappear into her car, pulling away from the fair and driving away. he shoved his hands into his pocket, preparing to walk to his car. 

he looked down at his phone, disappointed to see that you didn't call, not even once. he felt so lonely now, watching couples walk past him hand in hand, smiling and looking at each other with love in their eyes. couples exchanging glances which no one else in the world could understand, sending each other signals with their own meaning which were special to only the two of them. he scowled and silently cursed their happiness, it almost made him sick to the stomach, but he knew deep down, he wasn't disgusted. he just longed so much for that connection, a connection he thought he had with you. 

the sun was starting to set, a pink hue settling onto the fair grounds. just what he needed, for the fairy lights above him to start twinkling. he sighed and fished his keys out of his pocket when he thought he saw your face in the crowd. he did a double take, what were you doing here? his head was pounding when his eyes finally fell on your form. 

there you were, a large smile on your face, your hair blowing past you as you ran. he thought you looked so beautiful, a red tint on your cheeks as you tried to catch your breath, your eyes slightly squinted from the sunlight hitting your face. as if in slow motion, he watched a smile find its way onto your face and his chest squeezed, god he thought you were one of if not the most beautiful things he's seen his whole life. he stood frozen, his gaze following you as you ran, your hand held tightly in another man's hand, leading you towards an alley. 

'leave it alone, its none of your business.' he thought to himself, but his body wasn't listening, it was as if your person was pulling him towards you. you just managed to have that effect on him, like you were the sun and he had no choice but for his days to revolve around you. he thought about it more and he nodded, the closer he got to you, the harder it was for him to resist, but the more pain he had to endure.

he followed you, but prepared for the worst. was he just that dispensable? you'd already found another person to spend your time with? he knew he literally just went out with momo, but he couldn't help the jealousy bubbling in his chest when he saw you leaning against a wall, the other boy towering over you. 

he quickly dialed your phone in an attempt to catch your attention, watched you fish it out of your pocket and frantically look around. then your eyes met his. but you pretended you hadn't seen him and hung up. his heart shattered into a million tiny little pieces when he saw you shake it off, tucking your phone in your pocket and reaching up to wrap your hands around the boy's neck. 

it was as if his body was thinking for itself, he couldn't control how his hands were shaking now, he crossed the path towards you, not really thinking through his decisions. and what would he do once he got there? stare at you awkwardly until you went with him? make a fool out of himself and drag you with him? it didn't matter. all that mattered right now was that he needed to get this guy's fucking hands off of what was his.
