Soulmate System - Minsung

Chapter 10 - Sweet honey

Han Jisung

I walk out of class with my usual smile.

This time, it was a little faker. A little more forced.

But nobody had to know that.

I walk at the beat of the music in my ears, my feet bouncing along as my hair mirrored the movement on my head. Students flood the halls as morning classes end, many discussing the horrid class they just witnessed and some rather focusing their attention on another college party they could attend tonight.

I try to drown out their voices. The happy conversations everyone had with their friends. Laughing with them. Walking with them. A pit in my stomach forms at the thought as I walk alone past everyone.

The large halls felt lonely when empty, but even lonelier when full.

As much as I tried to ignore the voices, the ones inside my head were unescapable. It felt like I was in between crashing and soaring, waiting to see if my boyfriend hated or loved me like he said.

I could not bear the pain if the worst was true.

What would Minho hyung do?

Minho hyung would ask to meet up right? Try to talk again. Maybe this time actually get to a solution?

Minho hyung wouldn't let this get to him. He was strong and confident. I need to be like him.

I stop at the lobby doors and pull out my phone. I open up my boyfriends contact and type out a message. Pressing send just as quick before looking up and walking out to get some lunch.

I don't let my smile falter, no matter the beat ot my heart reaching unknown levels.

I finally spot the older walking out of the building with another floor of students and I sit up from the bench that I had been camping at. My arms wrap around my body as the temperature declined throughout the evening.

But seeing my boyfriend made me feel warmer.

Though maybe it was the nerves inside me instead.

"Hey babe!" Baekho smile, waving his hand at me as he jogs over to my spot. He looked so much happier today, a part of me wondered why but the other half was just happy. It was like a sigh of relief.

"Hey hyung." I return the smile, finally basking in the comfort of our relationship rather than the toxicity that played out recently.

"You wanted to talk to me hm?" Baekho reached his hand out and entertwined his fingers with mine. He seemed quite calm compared to the last time we talked.

"I just wanted to apologize hyung. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything, I love you after all." I manage to let the words out, no matter how awkward they sounding, I was just worried for the olders reaction.

"Sorry for what?" Baekho tilts his head, as if I was speaking nonsense.

"F-for... for uhm that talk we had in the bathroom, you were mad and stuff." I stutter out. I thought the topic at hand was quite obvious.

"ohhh yeah-...I forgot about that hah!" Baekho chuckles, making my lips part in confusion for a moment, "yeah it's okay babe."

"oh uhm." I was at a loss for words. I thought our lack of communication was entirely based upon that argument, I had been stressing about it all week.

And Baekho... forgot?

"You're not... mad?" I turn my head toward the older, asking in a soft tone as the memories tried to fill in the missing spots of my thinking.
