Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 57: How Things End Up

I stayed on guard, because I didn't want to fall for any tricks.

"I tried Hana" Minho exhaled.

"... what? " I thought to myself.

I stayed quiet.

"And I'm still trying... I mean that's why we're here, right?"

He began to inch forward and around the cabinet corner-

"You're all i've known Hana- ...i'm sick of starting from zero" Minho said.

I inspected him.

But he wouldn't meet my gaze.

Minho was avoiding my eyes.

It looked like he was being... genuine...

"But every single time I tried coming back, there was always someone else"

He slowly got closer.

"I mean look at me- I have some guys blood all over me"

-and somehow, Minho scoffed.

"What's the point of anything?" He whispered to himself.

I stared at him, unsure what to say.

"Sometimes... I don't know if I love you or not, I can't tell anymore" Minho ran his fingers through his hair.

The room fell silent.

"I don't want to chase you but we always end up... like this" Minho sighed.

And he was right.

Every argument.

Every disagreement.

Every heated discussion.

We'd hurt each other but always come... crawling back to one another...

No matter how badly one hurt the other...

"You know... I'm really sick of you" I carefully chose my words.

"It took me too long to realize you probably were..." he was quiet.

For the first time in years,

I saw the Minho I had met back in middle school.

The Minho who shyly held my hand and braided my hair.

It made me want to fold and comfort him.

It made me want to brush everything off and go back to "us".

Or whatever "us" meant back then.

But I knew in my gut, that Minho was a hypocritical asshole-

Who only ever cared about himself...
