A curse called love {complete}

~chapter 4~

Wonwoo got up without any hassle today, not making his mother come and get him and no complaints about not wanting to go to school, sure he really didn't want to go all that much but at the same time he really wanted to go so he could see mingyu. Mingyu was the reason he actually felt a little happy this morning.

The walk to school was like any other day, though Wonwoo found himself actually appreciating what went on around him. He always took the longer walk to school to cut out crowds and to get some peace and quiet. The longer way lead him through a small wooded area, birds happily singing in the trees though Wonwoo knew why the birds 'sang' in the trees. The small animals were simply marking there territory, telling other birds that they were there and not to come near, or simply calling for a mate. Wonwoo found himself whistling back to the birds, getting a range of different tweets back in reply.

The walk seemed to pass by a lot faster then it normally would, which didn't impress Wonwoo at all. He was back in hell. He knew just because he was now dating mingyu that it wouldn't mean he wouldn't get bullied by everyone.

"Wonwoo!" The excited voice of minghao called out before a pair of arms wrapped around wonwoos waist from the back. "Your dating mingyu?" He asked, resting his chin on wonwoos shoulder, a bright smile on his face. "W-what?" Wonwoo stuttered, blinking a couple of times.

It was an understatement to say Wonwoo was in shock and confused. How did people know about him and mingyu already? It hadn't even been a full twenty four hours since the two decided to be a couple and people knew already. Since minghao knew, Wonwoo was guessing the whole school most likely knew. Which only made him dread going to class even more.

"The talk around the halls is that mingyu went to yours last night and now you two are dating?" Minghao asked, letting go of the boy as the two began to walk to form. "Well yeah bu-" Wonwoo was cut off as a group of people ran over, all asking if it was true.

"I can't handle this" Wonwoo said as he began to tear up, all the questions and accusations were all to much for the boy to handle. He was getting stressed and when got stressed it almost always lead to him taking a panic attack.

His chest began to raise and fall at a quick pace, gasps leaving his lips as he desperately tried to catch his breath. He felt so scared and panicked that he could hardly breath as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Everyone stopped there talking once they noticed the state of the boy, backing away to give him some space as minghao wrapped an arm around him. "Calm down, just breath" minghao said softly, leading him away from the crowd and to a nearby bench.

It didn't take long for word of his panic attack to reach mingyu, the boy quickly searching for his boyfriend. "Wonwoo" mingyu called out, jogging over to him and minghao. "What's wrong? Calm down, Wonwoo. Just breath in...and out" mingyu said softly, bending down in front of the boy as he took deep breaths in and slowly let them out, Wonwoo slowly starting to copy the boy till he managed to get his breathing under control.

Once Wonwoo had reached a calm enough state did mingyu start to question what had happened, the elders body shaking lightly. "Everyone crowded round and started asking me questions about me and you...there's already rumours going round and I just panicked" Wonwoo hiccuped, rubbing at his puffy eyes. "Don't worry about all crap, people can be jerks so don't let them get to you" mingyu said softly, gently combing his fingers through wonwoos hair so it was out of his face. "Now, let's get to class" he smiled, standing up and helping Wonwoo to his feet.

Dear diary

I had another panic attack today due to school which makes it the fourth one this month. Lucky mingyu came to help calm me down, with worked pretty easily.

Mingyu has a way of making me feel so at ease and safe, he just has to look at me and I already feel myself relaxing. I really need a person like him in my life...im so glad I now have mingyu to turn to instead of writing all my thoughts and feelings down.

Once he had finished writing, Wonwoo closed his diary and slipped it back into his bag where it would be safe. Since the incident this morning no one had really bothered Wonwoo, which made him happy. He didn't have to answer to any questions or deal with any false rumours. He quickly slipped his bag over his shoulder and headed for the school exit, ready to go home and relax on the comfort of his room.

"Wonwoo, wait up" a voice called out from behind him as he walked out the school gates, a smile instantly tugging up on his lips when he heard the voice. Wonwoo turned on his heels, waving as he saw mingyu jogging over, his group of friends watching the two which made Wonwoo feel uneasy. "Wanna do something after school?" Mingyu asked, a wide smile on his face as he did. "S-sure" Wonwoo stuttered, a small blush painting his cheeks causing him to look down. "Great! I'll come round at five o'clock sharp" mingyu said, shooting Wonwoo a cheeky wink before he ran back towards his friends.

Wonwoo couldn't help but smile like an idiot as he turned, continuing with his walk home. He felt butterflies fluttering around in his stomach as he remembered the boys wink. "Ah, mingyu...what are you doing to me?" He asked himself.
