Chapter 26

"SHHHH!!! Shhhh! Its okay!!!" He whispers softly.

He gently runs his hand down her curly hair. Ximena slowly embraces as she has a full mental breakdown.
Minseok closes his eyes as Ximena grips his arms. It took her several minutes for her to compose herself.

Minseok felt her body becoming less tense, so he takes a deep breath and he looks at her as her face was buried into his chest. Minseok rubs her upper arms to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.

Minseok carried her in his arms as she laid her head against his chest. He then sets her down on the bed with so much care and he sits down next to her.

"Babe? Aren't you going to ask me what's going on?" She asks as she tries to get up, but Minseok makes her lay back down on the mattress.

"I don't need to ask you what's going on." He finally speaks up and Ximena lifts an eyebrow in confusion.

"I know that you and those two haven't been getting along that well." He says.

"If you knew, then why didn't you say anything?" She asks.

"Because I just found out. Ms. Park finally told me everything just now." He sighs.

"You seem awfully calm about this situation." She makes a questionable face.

"I'm confused as to why I'm not exploding as well. All I feel is pity for those two." He sighs.

"Why didn't you tell me they've been harassing you for this long?" He asks.

"They've gaslighted me a lot of times. I've also suspect that they were the ones who tainted my wedding dress that day." She says.

Ximena overheard Minseok cussing under his breath. Minseok then stood up and Ximena immediately sat up on the bed in curiosity.

"What is he doing?" She mumbles underneath her breath.

"I'll be back." He says in a calm yet frightening voice.

Ximena jumped out of the bed and ran in front of him and she wraps her arms around his waist firmly to prevent him from going any further out the door way.

Minseok stopped the moment she embraced him tightly. She leans ear on his heart and she closes her eyes tightly and hoped that he wouldn't cause another mess with his anger issues.

"Please don't go." She whispers as she opens her eyes.

"Let's stay like this for a few minutes. Let me feel your warmth." She roams her hands around his back.

Minseok slowly lifted his arms up and he wraps them around her tightly. He places his chin on her shoulder as he closes his eyes. His arms then give her a gently squeeze and she breathe in and out in relief.

"Baby? You always find a way to calm me down." He whispers.

"I don't have to find a way. Everyone knows that hugs are a form a help with stress." She says.

"You are like my own personal stress ball. So soft and squishy." He says.

"And tiny." He un-hugs her and he strokes her cheek.
