Solving The Puzzle ➵ Mingyu

3. Fianceè

Hannam-dong Residence, 7.28 PM

After 5 of years being apart, finally, they're both in the same apartment. To be honest, Taerin missed times like this.

Mingyu used to make her the bitterest tea you could ever taste, and she would complain about it but ended up finishing it anyway.

On the other hand, Taerin would cook him the most delicious pancakes with maple syrup, and vanilla ice cream on top.

They used to exchange love letters and read them out loud together. Life with Mingyu is much more better, at least that's what Taerin thinks.

After what it seems like an hour of silence, Taerin decided to speak up.
"Oppa,"
"Yes, Hagi?"

For a moment, Taerin thought she heard wrongly.

"Hagi? Who's Hagi?"

Apparently, Hagi is Mingyu's second love (let's not forget the fact that Taerin's his first) , and his bride-to-be this September. But Taerin has no idea of their relationship.

"Wait, did I mention her earlier?" Mingyu asked.

"Uh, yeah you did." She replied.

"Oh, my bad. Well Hagi, she's my fianceé." He replied.

"Fianceé?!" She asked in surprise.
"Yes, we're getting married in a couple of months. I know I'm too young and so is she, but we're both excited!" He stated.

Taerin felt heartbroken. She instantly remembered the days she used to spend with Mingyu.

Now she has no option but to agree with their decision.

"Taerin ah, you have something on the corner of your lips." Mingyu said while wiping an ice cream off of her lips.

You can instanly see Taerin's cheeks turn as red as tomato.

"Are you blushing?" Mingyu asked.

"Uh, uhm no, my cheeks are just, uh, burning from the heat, yeah," Taerin hesitantly replied.

"Burning from MY heat, in particular?" He grinned and smirked a little.

"No."

"Yep."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Taerin, I know you love me."

"Of course I do, if I dont, then why are we dating?"

"I love you too by the way." Mingyu smiled sincerely.

"Oh shut up." Taerin replied while a giggle escaped her mouth

"Hey, it's getting late, let me drive you home." Mingyu said.

"It's okay if you don't want to, I mean I can walk." She replied.

"And do you think I'm gonna let you do that?"

"Yep, you will." Taerin smiled innocently.

"Stupid, no, never." Mingyu replied and he intertwinned their fingers together, as they walked to his car.

After 15 minutes, they finally arrived at Taerin's house.

"So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." She said.
