MINGYU SCENARIOS

Status Part 4

"It's been a long time huh." Mingyu mumbled, his tone sounding anxious of some sort. You nodded your head a put down your cup of green tea latte.

"You left without a word." Once again, you nodded.

"You could have told me."

"And why would I want to?" That was the first time you spoke to him in ages and your voice sounded so familiar to him.

"You should have! I mean, you just left me Chaerin."

"Left you? I left the company Mingyu. What do you mean by left you? Do I belong to you?" Your tone was rising and you had to remind yourself to calm down. Remember, I'm just a...wait. You stopped your thoughts, realising that you were a celebrity now as well. I'm no longer some small makeup artist.

Mingyu's eyes grew sad and he shook his head slowly. "No...you don't."

"That's right. So, I have no reason to report to you. And may I ask, what are you even doing here?" You had no clue how he knew where you were. Was he following you?

"I-I...missed you Chaerin." You scoffed and put your arms on the table.

"Missed me? Mingyu, you should have missed me a long time ago."

"What do you mean by that-"

"Every single time Yeri dragged you away whenever there was an opportunity to talk, you did nothing. Before the incident at the practice room, the last time we talked was at the film set do you know that?" Mingyu's guilt-ridden face could make you forgive him in a second but you couldn't let him get to you again.

"Did you ever try to find me whenever FliHigh had schedules? The only times when you actually bothered to walk up to me was when I was already standing there waiting-"

"Y-you could have tried to find me!"

"For goodness sake Mingyu I can't!" You couldn't take it anymore. Tears started falling from your face and your hands trembled, remembering the past.

"Don't you see Mingyu? The only chance we have of being together is if you come to me. That's for a simple reason Mingyu. I was a makeup artist. By the rules, I cannot violate my rights in the company to go around snooping to find an idol. That way, don't you think all fans will be makeup artists by now? Do you know how much self-control it took for me not to barge into your practice room? Do you know how much I wished that you would come finding me so that we could spend some time together? But no Mingyu. All the free time you had was spent with Yeri and yet, you say that you have no feelings for her. Do you know why I can actually finally say all these now? Because I am a makeup artist no more Mingyu. I have every right now to request to do a duo with you, I can find time in my schedule to meet up with you but you know what? Why should I, when you did not?" Standing up, you grabbed your things and headed off to the door but he caught your hand.

"One last thing. Are you with Jungkook?" At this point of time, you couldn't believe him anymore. He didn't ask you to stay. He didn't even fight for more time with you. All he did was ask whether you were single. Was that because he was selfish? Perhaps. Mingyu didn't even know why that was the first thing that came out of his mouth. He mentally slapped himself when you broke free from his grasp and ran out of the cafe. The last thing you heard was him yelling for you to stay.Maybe if you had said that first, I would have stayed.

"Let's go!" Jungkook sang as he pushed you into the front seat, making you groan in frustration.

"Did you have to shove me into the car Jeon Jungkook?" He simply grinned at you and started the engine.

———-

"I'm hungry." You blurted out and Jungkook laughed.

"Okay okay let's go and eat." Walking to a cafe, you dissed each other playfully along the way.

"Fat."

"Ugly."

"Useless."

You froze and Jungkook stopped when you stopped walking.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Chae you know I didn't mean-"

"No Kookie. It's not that." You stared at Mingyu and Yeri at the cafe and you felt a lump in your throat.

"What is he doing still with her? He's such an idiot I swear."

"It's okay Kookie. I-I'm fine. This is your favourite cafe and we don't have to change venue just because of them. Let's go." You confidently walked into the cafe and plopped on a seat naturally.

"Order Kookie."

"Okay then." You didn't bother to turn around to see whether Mingyu was looking at you because the reason for coming here wasn't to make him jealous. In fact, it was really because you had something planned for Jungkook.

"Chaerin...what's happening?" Hearing Jungkook's confused voice, you laughed as the staff started pulling out the dividers with sectioned away half of the cafe. A huge cake emerged out of the kitchen and friends started swarming in.

"Happy Birthday my dear Kookie!" You pelted him with punches and he swatted your hands away.

"Yah yah yah don't do this to me!" Laughing, you pulled him in front of the cake. After singing the birthday song, Jungkook closed his eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candles. I wish Mingyu will open his stupid eyes and give my dear Chaerin a happy life.

On the other side, Mingyu stared at the dividers, wondering what was happening inside.

"Mingyu. Mingyu! Yah, stop looking at the other side! I'm talking to you!" Yeri whined and Mingyu sighed.

"Did you just sigh at me, Kim Mingyu?"

"What's going on there?"

"Yah Kim Mingyu! Do you care more about Chaerin or about me?" Suddenly, Mingyu remembered that it was the day that his contract with Yeri ended.

"Our contract is over."

"Mingyu what are you saying-" But before Yeri could finish, Mingyu found himself running towards the door in the dividers and flinging it open.

"Sir, this is a private event-"

"Chaerin!" You turned around and saw Mingyu barging past the staff.

"Mingyu, what are you doing-" You never got to finish your sentence as Mingyu pulled you into a tight hug.

"Yah Mingyu what are you-"

"I love you Lee Chaerin." What?

"Be it a makeup artist or a celebrity, I love you."

"Mingyu are you just saying this because-"

"Listen to me Chaerin. I'm sorry for ignoring you last time but it was not because of your status. Trust me."

"Then?"

"I was scared that I would not be able to be with you and so I pretended that I didn't so that I wouldn't hurt so much. But now? Now I will make sure that none of us will get hurt."

"What is that supposed to-"

"I will fight for us to be together. Will you fight with me?" Mingyu looked into your eyes and you could feel your heart leaping out from your chest. You saw from the corner of your eye, Jungkook putting up a thumbs up. Staring back into Mingyu's eyes, you nodded your head.

"I'll fight."
