Seventeen As Your Boyfriend

Mingyu

Getting upset was a fairly rare event to occur to you so whenever it happened Mingyu, your boyfriend, never really knew what to do. This time was no exception:

It had been a long day at university, nothing was going right; You didn't sleep well the night before, on the way to class it started to rain so you looked like a mess, all of the classes were filled with intense note taking but your pen ran out of ink halfway through your second last class, and then at the end of your last class you found out that you had failed the tests that you had spent hours upon hours studying on. All of these things built up and by the time you had reached your apartment tears had already welled up in your eyes.

Upon entering the door you were greeted by Mingyu whose smiling expression turned into a look of concern when he noticed the tears.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he followed you to the couch where you laid down.

As you began to unload your troubles onto him the thoughts began to build up again and you could help but cry. He looked at you with a look of sympathy. Mingyu was never good at helping in situations like these but his expression always made it clear that he wanted to. If he could, he would trade positions with you in a heartbeat so that you were happy and he was the one that was troubled. He never wanted to see you sad, yet here you were.

"Is there anything that I can do?" He asked, hoping that you had some kind of a solution that could bring you happiness.

With a shake of your head Mingyu's hopeful look turned into a frown. He carefully placed a hand on your arm, unsure if you wanted to be touched while feeling like this, but when you didn't react he the proceeded to rub your arm as a form of comfort. Slowly your sobs from utter frustration of the day turned into sniffles and he took note of that. When you rolled onto your back Mingyu took advantage of the position and began to massage your back. He was never good at words but he knew that this would help relax you, at least for right now. And what he needed, was to see you happy right now.

"Mingyu" you whispered after a few minutes.

"Yes?" he asked with a low, comforting tone.

You rolled over and sat up to face him before wrapping your arms around his neck. "Thank you for being here to listen to my problems and try to help."

A smile etched across his face as he looked down out of shyness "You don't need to thank me. I love you and will always be here for you."

With that the two of you spent the rest of the day cuddling on your couch in comfortable silence. Your problems hadn't gone away but at least things were better for now.
