Soulmate System - Minsung

Chapter 15 - Stupid heart

Lee Minho

For some reason, I couldn't relax my body of its tension.

Actually there is a clear reason, fucking the biggest bitch in town. Baekho.

It's like everytime I close my eyes, I see his horrible face and hear his words over and over again. The things he says about jisung, they make my blood boil.

This world is so unfair if anything brought the two of them together. Jisung should have never been put in this situation, and I should've never let him.

I should've realized Baekho brings more harm than happiness in Jisungs life. Maybe if I had told jisung about everything when I turned 21...

No this is not the time to have regrets.

I need to make sure jisung stays safe.

I can't force a breakup onto him, he needs to come to that decision himself. But either way, I cannot risk anything happening to him.

I swear if another bruise appears on that boy, I will lose my shit. Every fucking bruise on jisung will be returned tenfold to Baekho the bitch.

Okay. Calm down Minho.

I pull out my AirPods case from my pocket, quickly taking them out and placing them into my ears, feeling the relief as music replaces all other sounds.

I had just finished my last lecture and was ready to go home, walking out of the building toward my car. I was hoping some sleep would clear my brain as I open the doors and step outside.

In fact, I try to close my eyes for a brief moment as the evening air hits my face, humming along to the music playing in my ears.

Calm.

Clearing my mind meant no Baekho and no stress. Everything was going to be alright. Everyone I loved was going to be happy.

The future wasn't going to be unpredictable.

Everything was okay as long as I focused on my breathing and the vibrations of my humming.

Nothing could interrupt this safe space in my mind-

"Minho hyung?"

Suddenly my eyes shoot open, the calm safe space I created in my mind disipates as the surroundings come back into my senses.

The street lights beginning to turn on, the sounds of traffic and people all around, the cars lining the parking lot.

But before realizing anything else, I bump into a smaller figure, causing my eyes to widen and look down. My hands move on their own, wrapping themselves around the boys waist, actively catching him from falling.

When my eyes finally focus, I realize who the boy in my arms was.

He sends me a gummy smile, our faces only centimeters apart and our bodies close. I could almost touch the boys nose with my own. And the way my arm wrapped around his waist, it just sent shivers down my spine.

"oh didn't think you'd be walking around with your eyes closed Minho hyung?" Jisung teases, a small giggle ringing out of him. The sound of his voice making me lose my senses once more.

I gulp, staring at the boys features so up close. Even though we were always together, my heart was beating faster in this moment, echoing in my ears.

Speaking of my ears, I could undoubtly tell the tips of them were now lighting up a red color.

But I just couldn't take my eyes off him, it felt like I was in a trance. Was I really going insane?

"Hyung?" Jisung tilts his head, he stands up straight as my arm still remains around his waist, "Are you alright?" He waves a hand infront of my face.
