LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO

I CAN'T HIDE

SULLI'S POV

I knew these symptoms... Yes, I have a phobia... I found out that the more I hide it, the more I suffer. I know how Minho struggle with me.

I can't hide it. I can't fake it. I need help not just from Minho but also from my family first. They knew too well what to do. I don't want to live in fear. I want to live normal. All of a sudden, I thought Minho was the only one concern about me.

That night, I didn't expect things to happen. Minho is with me when we arrived home.

"Why don't you get inside and have a quick chat with me?"

"I'll go home now"

"Wait a moment, Oppa Min Ho and Min Young is there" Sulli pulled Minho inside

"Huh! Here they are... We've been waiting for you? Why are you late?" Min Ho asked.

"What is this all about?" Sulli was caught unaware.

"What is the from meaning of this?" Eomma was surprised. Oppa Min Ho was seated with Min Young holding each other's hand. Appa just arrived from his office. We saw Eomma, looking at Oppa...

"Minho, Sulli, sit down..." Eomma looked angry.

Oppa told everything about how I got the trauma. Eomma and Appa were shocked. Eomma burst into tears while holding me. She finally hugged me. I am shaking terribly.

"I am sorry, Sulli. Oppa didn't mean to scare you. I am young and that's how I show my love for Min Young . But if that caused you so much trouble... to the point of having a phobia... that I couldn't accept. I love Min Young"

A total silence surround everyone. All of us listen intently. Oppa is in tears while narrating what happened. And that's exactly what happened.

Eomma slapped Oppa.

"Foolish! Look what you have done. You have disgraced Min Young at a very young age" Eomma, I still love Min Young until now. I 'm just waiting for the right until we are ready "

"How could you try it without being ready for the consequences?"

"Are you ready to face suffering because of what you did?" Eomma slapped him once more." You made Sulli suffer because of your carelessness. You foolish brat!"

After what I have heard, the memory of the past is all coming back to me now.

I heard the loud bang of the door. Min Ho.... Min Young... those young naked bodies covered underneath the sheets... the groaning and the sobbing... those complains of fears and doubts were obviously echoing my ears...

I cried... I began to feel the same fear when I was inside the closet... Minho held me in his arms the same way when he found me...

"Eomma, stop it now!" I shouted. Minho looked at me.

"Sulli..."

"Where were you? You should have taken me out immediately" I cried harder...

"I am sorry, Sulli. I was too late to take out inside that dark closet."

"I called out your name but you didn't seem to hear me" My body begun to shake intensely... I cried profusely... I can't stop either... I begun hysterical. I went blank. I just found myself inside my room. They are all surrounding me beside my bed.

That night, everything has been decided. I will seek a professional help aside from the support from my family and friends. I am willing to undergo my treatment or rather they call it " therapy "

MINHO's POV

I went home totally drained and I throw myself in bed. I suddenly notice that Sandy is trying to reach me out in Skype so I jumped out of my bed and picked up her call.

"Hello there, Sandy. How are you?"

"I should be asking you that... How are you? You have missed my calls several times and yet you didn't make any single call. I am beginning to think that you are too much busy with somebody else"

"Huh! That's not true"

"By the way, the spring vacation is getting near. Why don't you come over?" Sandy asked.

"How about you coming home? Minho pull back the same question.

Sandy's expression became sad. She told herself before that she will persuade Minho to stay with her instead of going back to the Philippines.

"Why don't you come back?" Minho asked her.

She didn't answer but turned off the connection immediately and signed off instead.

"Huh, she has always been like that. Whenever going back is put in conversation, she would always cut me off"

"I don't get it"

"She knew too well that I don't want to stay abroad"

I can't hide my dismay.

I had been waiting for her to comeback, she seem not to give it a try.

All this time, I have been patient with her and her childish things but she doesn't seem to consider my feelings.

I sighed deeply.

What's wrong with me now? I feel nothing to her but still want her back.
