Regret Always Comes Late [ Mingyu x Wonwoo / Meanie / Minwon ]

I'd rather die than being alone without you.

Since then, Mingyu moved out to stay in Jeonghan's place for a while so the older man wouldn't be alone after his breakup with Seungcheol. Jeonghan of course appreciated it as he really needed someone to keep his mind off Seungcheol. With them being together in a same room like this, it felt like they had reconciled back together again.

With this kind of situation, Mingyu thought it's a good chance to ask Jeonghan to back to be his lover again. Because he's sure Jeonghan would say yes to him again. But of course he had to give Jeonghan some time to forget about Seungcheol first. He didn't have to be in rush as this time he's sure they would be together again and happily ever after.

...Right?

Well... Until Jeonghan asked him a question.

"When are you going back to your home, Gyu?" asked Jeonghan, as he cuddled with the said Mingyu on the bed, finding a good and comfortable position for his head on the younger boy's chest.

"What? Are you trying to chase me away?" asked Mingyu back, raised one of his eyebrows and stared at Jeonghan's head in confusion.

"No, I'm not." Jeonghan let out a small laugh and he pinched Mingyu's hand softly. "I mean, it has been two months since you started staying here for me. Is Wonwoo okay about that?"

Wonwoo... Jeon Wonwoo...

Why it felt like it's been years since the last time he heard or called that name. How's that man doing? Was he okay? Was he still crying because of him? Have he found someone better now? A new lover?

...

Hold on a second, why Mingyu didn't like the idea of Wonwoo seeing someone else at all? Did he even have rights to think about that, when he was the one who asked for break up?

'Jeon Wonwoo... I hope he's doing fine...'

~~~~~*****~~~~~

It's already past midnight and Jeonghan woken up because of Mingyu kept stirring in his sleep, and it disturbed him. Mingyu seemed so anxious in his sleep and he was sweating too, Jeonghan wondered if he had a nightmare or what.

"Gyu, wake up." Jeonghan called softly while he also patted Mingyu's cheek slowly. "Hey, wake– "

"Wonwoo hyung..."

Jeonghan's eyes got widen. Even if Mingyu was mumbling the name so quietly in his sleep, Jeonghan still could hear it very clearly.

He knew it.

Jeonghan knew Mingyu actually had feelings for his cute bookworm friend Wonwoo already. But the latter still didn't realize it yet and thought he was still in love with Jeonghan.

Jeonghan just sighed and sent a knowing smile to the sleeping Mingyu. Actually he was already thinking to say yes to Mingyu, if the latter ask him to be his again. He was stupid to leave a person as loving as Mingyu back then.

What goes around comes around, indeed.

"I guess regret is always comes late, isn't it...?" Jeonghan sighed again.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

"JEON WONWOO!!!" Mingyu's eyes snapped open and he jolted up in Jeonghan's bed. He felt ton of sweat rolling down his face. He was breathing heavily and his heart beating fast in his chest.

Mingyu shuddered, closing his eyes again as he tried to remember his nightmare.

Right after Mingyu left him in front of cinema, a broken–hearted Jeon Wonwoo then threw himself in front speeding car on the street, and his last words are, "I'd rather die than being alone without you."

Fuck.

"Wonwoo hyung... Is he okay?"

"Mingyu?"

Mingyu gasped in surprise as he looked over and saw Jeonghan there, standing on the doorway. "Oh it's you..."

"Nightmare?" Jeonghan asked as he made his way to the bed and took a seat next to Mingyu. "Are you okay?" He asked again as he noticed tears welling up Mingyu's eyes.

Mingyu sniffed a bit then wiped his eyes. "No, it's nothing."

"Don't lie to me. I could hear you whimpering Wonwoo's name in your sleep."

Mingyu mentally cursed himself, did he really that loud in his sleep?

"You know what? You should go back to Wonwoo." And that caught Mingyu's full attention. "I know that Wonwoo already own your heart, right now. Not me anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Mingyu faked a laugh. "I'm not, Hannie hyung. I'm only have my eyes for you."

Jeonghan crossed his hands at his chest and he glared at Mingyu, successfully making the latter just kept his mouth shut tight. "Stop it, Kim Mingyu. I'm being serious here. I could see it in your eyes, you've mistaken your feeling for me as a love. You only stayed here with me because your kind heart and old memories of us pitied me and couldn't let me alone after my breakup with Seungcheol."

"No, it's not like that! I really love you, Jeonghan hyung. I really want to be with you for the rest of my life!" Mingyu insisted.

"No, you're not! It's not me who is destined to be with you, but it's Wonwoo! Why can't you realize it, Mingyu!?"

"Wonwoo is just my best friend! He's nothing compared to you–" Mingyu stopped and bit his lip hard to prevent him talk more. He shut his eyes tight as the scene of crying Wonwoo kept replaying in his mind and the last words he spoke to him before he left.

"So, let's just break up. After all, you're nothing compared to Jeonghan hyung."

Fuck. Did he seriously say those harsh words in front of Wonwoo's face?

"What? What did you want to say? Did you just planning to say Wonwoo is nothing for you!?" Jeonghan scoffed. "How could you? After those things he had done for you!?"

"I'm sure there is someone in this world specially existed only for you, Gyu. It's me."

The voice of Wonwoo back then filling his head. And somehow the nightmare invaded his mind again. And the latter's last words in the dream kept repeating again and again inside his head. "I'd rather die than living alone without you by my side..."

No. Mingyu couldn't take it anymore.

He didn't want Wonwoo to be sad.

He wanted Wonwoo to be happy and always smiling.

He didn't want Wonwoo to be with someone else.

He wanted Wonwoo to be with him.

He loved Jeon Wonwoo.

Jeonghan was right. How could he be such a fool for not realizing it sooner? How could he did such an unforgivable things to the person who loved him so much!? How could he hurt Wonwoo's innocent heart like this!? What he have done to him!?

"Thank you, Jeonghan hyung! I'm leaving!"

Without wasting anytime, Mingyu quickly fixed himself in the bathroom and rushed to Wonwoo's place as fast as possible. Jeonghan just let out a small smile as he watching Mingyu's leaving figure. Finally he could make Mingyu realized his feelings for Wonwoo. "Okay, my job is done. Be happy you two."
