𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐈

While kissing Yunho, I witness white energy surrounding us as if it's flooding out of us. Having their eyes open while kissing is bizarre, but I want to know what's happening. Yunho is needy, slamming his lips on mine and sliding his tongue in so effortlessly that I don't even have to do anything.

So he actually likes me?? Ah, I knew it.

Shortly after I feel the white energy disappearing and Bibi's room is recognized, my lips releasing from Yunho's who stares at me with nearly luminous eyes. I look away and catch Bibi standing there with the Cromer in her hand.

It's filled with white energy, probably looking like its original state. I move away from Yunho, going up to Bibi, "Is it fixed?"

"I need 8 more days...But yes, your part is done," Bibi smiles at me and I nod, feeling reassured. We can get escape from this forest.

Yunho gets up to, "Only a kiss was necessary?"

"You still don't know what was necessary?" Bibi asks but then shakes her head, "Never mind."

Silence falls into the room and Bibi places the hourglass on the glass table, then scans the both of us, her eyes furrowing at me before chuckling lightly, "Well? Ready to leave this place in 8 days?"

We bid her goodbye and I feel light-hearted about the news, we will get out! But at what prize... Losing Yunho wasn't planned. Now we have to talk about it and work it out, ugh, no...

"Mingi?" Yunho asks as we are walking back to the castle and I mentally prepare my next sentences.

I was hoping he wouldn't start so soon, gulping, "Yes?"

"What... What are we?"

"Nothing."

Yunho halts his tracks and peeks confused, "What do you mean? Oh, you need time, right? I understand, I-"

"Yunho, I don't fucking love you, I never liked you!" The words coming out of my mouth aren't only abrupt but also harsh and mean, fuck Mingi, why did you...

Yunho's lower lips begin trembling and he begins biting them as he always does, "Wh-What? Mingi, I'm sorry, you must just feel overwhelmed, we can talk-"

"No!" Again I feel Yunho getting too close, way too considerate, "Yunho, I said that to bring us out! I don't do relationships, I will never fall in fucking love! You know how it goes, and you are too precious to me to treat you like a toy."

"Mingi, listen-"

"Yunho, I am serious. I don't want this. Not with you, not with anyone else. I'm better off alone." With that, I start walking away from him and when I turn back I see him breaking together under the tree.
