August Nights || Kim Mingyu

17.Hwa

Mingyu ran after his mum.

HIS MUM!

Why is this my life?

Whoever's writing my story, what did I do to deserve this?

Did I betray my country in a past life?

I heard the door to the spare bedroom close and took that as my chance to leave.

And jump off a building.

Me: Cina! Babe! 911!
BabygirlC: what happened??

I got into my car.

Me: I'm on my way home, please tell me you're still there😭
BabygirlC: I'm here, ramen on the stove, I've got tissues and alcohol. I'm ready for you.

I don't know what to think of this situation. I should be beyond happy! Mingyu asked me out!

Mingyu's mine! I'm his!

What if his mother makes him leave you?

The thought hits me like a boulder.
She wouldn't do that, right? She doesn't even know me.
Woo Hwa-young, you of all people should know how crazy mothers can be.

I was so lost in my thoughts I almost drove into a white truck.
Swerving out of the way made my heart beat faster.
I didn't even realize I was crying until I got to my apartment and Cina held me.

"Babe, what happened?"

"I- we- he-" I couldn't form a coherent thought.

"White truck" was all I said before exploding into a puddle of tears.

"A literal truck or the kdrama definition?" Cina sat me down on the couch.

"Breathe babe, breathe" She stroked my head the way she did since we were kids. It always calmed me down.

Breathe.

It's okay.

"Do you want to go shower and then talk about it?" She always adopted the motherly role so quickly.

I nodded.

"I'm so stupid!" I turned the hot water on and got into the shower.

I needed to scrub the embarrassment off me.

I came out looking like a prune after a solid 30 minutes, finally calm enough to talk.

10 new messages and 5 missed calls from GyuMingyu.

I stared at the screen.

"What did the asshole do?" Cina set the ramen in front of me.

"He didn't exactly do anything... he asked me out..." I slurped some extra spicy ramen before getting to the details.
"Then... kissed me... god the kiss was perfect babe, it was unreal, his lips on mine, his strong musky smell, him on top of me, my hands in his hair-" Cina stopped me.

"He was ON TOP OF YOU!!" She clapped. "Omg Hwa did you let him... you know... have you??" I almost started crying again.

"Do you want the details or not?" I took more ramen in my mouth, my tongue was on fire.

"Sorry, sorry... please, continue" She put a finger on her lips pre-school style.

I laughed.

"He was on top of me, I wanted it... with him... he took off his shirt and oh my lordddddd this body!" I was salivating.
"Things were... going somewhere-" I heard my phone vibrate.

"Was he not good? Small?" Cina's love for gossip was taking over.

"What! No! We didn't do it... his mum walked in! I swear to god if you laugh I'll end you" I watched her try not to laugh.

"And thennnnn?" She asked.

"He left the room" I sighed.

"Just like that? No 'don't leave' or anything?" I shook my head.

"Nothing" I needed air.
"I waited for a few minutes and heard shouting from the spare room before I decided to leave" tears swelling in my eyes.
"Babe, what if she tells him to leave me?" I didn't want to think about it, "I know how much family means to him, he'll do it"

Cina's face was unreadable. Anger? Pity? Suppressed laughter?

"Then it's his loss" She kissed my forehead

"No Cina, it's mine. We gel so well he's the first guy to make me feel something since- since Hoshi- what if- I can't go through-" Cina shook her head.

"Don't do that, don't panic. Nothing happened yet" She's right.

My phone started ringing.

GyuMingyu

"I can't speak to him right now"

I left the phone, "I'm going to the roof for a smoke"

Cina answered the phone. "Cina don't-" it was too late.

"Hwa can't come to the phone right now" she put it on speaker.

"Please give her the phone, I need to speak to her it's important" I couldn't make out his tone.

But my heart sank.

"Like I said, she can't come to the phone right now, can I take a message?" Cina winked at me.

"Cina, I know she's there, Let me speak to her" he sounded like he was getting angry.

"She's not here, she's on the roof, bye" she hung up.

My legs felt weak.

"He's gonna dump me" I leaned on the wall for support.

"You don't know that, let's go smoke" She put her arm around me and we left the building.

He's gonna dump her? Kim mingyu you-- wait what if he doesn't... then I swore Gyu for no reason👀

Q: do you like spicy food?
My answer: I LOOVVVEEEEE spicy food! Where you feel your tongue on fire but can't stop eating.

Comment and vote because you don't want Mingyu to leave Hwa when we waited 18 chapters for them to get together!

P.s... I started working on my idea for Wabi-Sabi (the Yoshi ff) so that's on it's way.

Goodnight darlings...
