LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO

I HID

HYUN WOO'S POV

All this years, I had been adamant not to tell anyone what I had been into . I took everything a secret as I don't want them to know how my mom is going through her tough times. I really didn't wish to avoid Sulli and Minho. They were the only friends I had in the neighborhood so why would I avoid them. But still I chose to be alone. I just want to be on my own. I don't want them to suffer with me.

That day, I 'll have to bring mom to her therapy session in a nearby hospital. She had experienced anxiety and depression when my dad left us. I don't know if she is recovering or not.

I accidentally bump into Sulli but I secretly hid behind the vending machine.

"What is Sulli doing here?"

"Is she having a session with Dr. Jang?"

"Is she suffering from something?"

After an hour, I saw her moving out the room. Dr. Jang is smiling at her and gave her a pat on her back.

"You're doing well right now"

"I should do this. I want to be well as soon as possible"

"Let's take it slowly"

"I will.."

"That's good"

When Sulli was already away, I showed up to Dr. Jang and bring my mom in.

"That's Sulli right? "

"Yes. Do you know her?"

"She's a close friend of mine"

"Oh really... I admired Sulli for being brave all this time."

"She is really brave..."

"If not also with the help of Minho and her supportive parents, she will not recover in such a short period of time. She is helping herself too as she resolved to be well soon"

"Is she suffering in a sort of trauma or phobia?"

"I thought you were friends? You supposed to know what she's been to nowadays"

"I know..."

"Don't worry. She'll recover not too soon from philemaphobia"

"That's right. She will."

After the returning home from her mom's therapy session, Hyun woo looked what philemaphobia meant.

"Fear of kiss?"

"That's it... That's the reason why she is trembling in fear when I was about to kiss her"

"What kind of a fool am i?"

"I seem to have contributed to Sulli's trauma"

I shook my head.

" I even blamed her for being too close to Minho"

"Foolish Hyun woo..."

That night I came to talk to Minho. He told me everything about how Sulli had been suffering since we were kids. About her trauma, I am so sorry about it. I didn't know that I have caused her pain after dumping her. it never occurred to me that she is already suffering from that kind of fear.

I promised Minho to keep all those things between us. I even promised him to be good this time to Sulli.

"Make sure to take good care of her when I am away"

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go and see Sandy"

"How are you with Sandy? She had been asking me news about you"

"And what did you tell her?"

"I am sorry, Minho . I didn't know if I have put you and your relationship into trouble. I maybe have said things that I am not supposed to say"

"Like what..."

"That you are always with Sulli... I never thought that you have been a great help to her to recovery"

"Anyway, it's not your fault. I'll have to see her"

"I hope that everything will still be well with you and Sandy"

I can't even assure Hyun woo of that this time. I was thinking of something else instead of making up with sandy. I am so sure of this. I should have done it a long time ago.

It would be best for the two of us.
