So Close Yet So Far - Mingyu x Reader

Chapter 19 - What Have I Done?

Mina's desperate attempt to say your name again fell on deaf ears because you repeated your comment: "Don't. Talk. To. Me."

"Please, I just have to..."

"What? What else do you need to take from me?!" You asked. "That's it! We are done here! You wormed your way into our lives and took everything from us. What else do you want?!" You motioned to the two men on either side of you. "Them?!"

"Woah, wait," Jeonghan said quickly under his breath.

"My friends?! My college degree?!""

"No, please." Mina gulped.

"No, you don't get to say please to me for anything! I cannot believe I let myself get fooled by you! The minute you told me you came here to be Mingyu's wife I should have known not to trust you! But I'm an idiot, I will admit. They thought you and I could be friends. But I was wrong. So now you have everything you came here for and you still ask me for more!? Give me a break!"

"Hey..." Joshua gripped your shoulder. "Take it easy." You sniffled, feeling all the tears you were holding back in the hallway with Mingyu finally begin to spill.

"I'm sorry."

"No, you're not!" You snapped. By now, the entire room had gone silent, staring at you. Mr. Kim and Mr. Miyou were stunned to silence, watching in shock. "How can you possibly be sorry? I can't accept your apology!"

"You need to listen, I-."

"I'm done listening! Listening to you got me here in the first place!" You sniffled. "It's okay if you never liked me, but you claim to love Mingyu and yet you make him suffer like this! I just can't understand!" Mina finally fell silent, unable to stop you long enough to utter a full sentence. "And you invited me for what? To suffer? It's cruel after all I did to befriend you and try to see you beyond our feelings. And yet despite all of this, for some reason, I came because I wanted to see if he was truly happy. I just want him to be happy."

Mina pursed her lips together. She heard her father approaching, along with hotel security. Joshua and Jeonghan immediately took your arms.

"We got her," Joshua said quickly.

"No need to make a bigger scene," Jeonghan added. You turned to Jeonghan, who motioned to the door. "Let's go, okay?" You nodded before your eyes finally fell on Mingyu, who was standing just behind Mina, his father standing at his side and keeping him from getting closer. You shook your head.

"Don't invite me to the wedding." You said simply. Mingyu's mouth immediately closed as he watched you walk out, Joshua and Jeonghan on either side of you. The hotel security followed behind, seemingly making sure the three of you did end up leaving. When the door closed behind him, Mingyu ran a hand through his hair.

"Ohhhh God. I fucked up, I fucked up so hard." He gasped to himself. All he could see was your teary eyes and red face, a sight he would never unsee for as long as he lived.

"Don't let that girl get you down." His father said, a supportive pat on his shoulder. "Seems she's crazier than we thought." Mingyu couldn't look at his father as he walked away with Mina's. It took a few seconds for the rest of the party to devolve into its previous chatter, the music slowly replaying upon his father's request. He watched as Mina immediately turned on her heel, heading down to the other side. Her friends from home immediately got up from their spots and swarmed her, comforting her from that 'scary encounter'. Mingyu turned to the rest of his friends, and his expression only got more pained when he saw their looks of disapproval. "What do I do?" he choked out. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen."
