Don't Listen In Secret || Joshua Hong

Broken heart(s)

mom : oh you are early today?

jihye : yeah the chickens ran away. apparently it's love of life was going on a date with someone else. just everyday traumatic stuff.

i uttered non sense emotionlessly as i slowly trudged to my room.

mom : wait the chicken- jihye are you okay?

jihye : i am fine.

i buried myself in the familiar blanket as soon as i entered my room. i couldn't stop looking at the texts. i kept reading them again and again as if that would make it any easier.

looking at yeri's texts reminded me of mingyu. he texted me but i never read it.

kim mingyu

Hello
this is me
your brother's group member
kim mingyu

heyy
sorry for replying so late

hii
you are not forgiven

.....

(how did he reply so quick isn't he supposed to be busy?)

....

actually..
you said i can talk to you
if i feel like crying again

i got it
you must be weeping right now 🤣
i told you u look ugly when u cry

i am not crying😤

..........

jihye : why is he calling me now?

i reluctantly accepted the call.

jihye : why did you call me?

mingyu : ohh you are definitely crying

jihye : no i am not *coughs like a dying man* 

mingyu : you sound very joyous

...

and he just hung up like this? what the hell. he isn't even online anymore. i will just cry alone then. and overthink until my head hurts. 

after 15 minutes i got another call. i swear no one calls me when i am normal and not weeping into my pillow. 

jihye : mingyu!

why is he calling me again after ghosting me? i accepted the call just because i am too lonely for revenge right now.

mingyu : jihye?

jihye : yeah i - i am here

mingyu : come outside your house right now

jihye : WHAT??

mingyu : sshh. just come out quietly.

jihye : what are you doing here?

mingyu : walking my dog.

jihye : what?

mingyu : what do you think? come out quickly.

i rushed downstairs and after making sure my mom wasn't lurking anywhere i got out of the house. as i scanned the surroundings my eyes lingered on a carnival at a distance.

mingyu : come to the carnival

jihye : are you planning to kidnap me?

mingyu : i don't think your family will take you back if i did

jihye : very funny. tell me how unloved i am. great way of encouraging a broken hearted girl

mingyu : the only thing you need encouragement for is your speed.
