Lose You || Meanie

I

It's two o'clock and the sun is striking over Wonwoo who is now covered in sweat all over his face and body; his white polo already kissing his back.

He checked on the time on his phone for the nth time but Jun is still not in sight. He have counted 37 cars passed by but still no Junhui.

He has been waiting at the park since noontime. Despite the hurtful sunlight, Wonwoo opted to stay on that bench and waited for his friend. No matter how unprofessional it is to be late on your schedule, he believes that his friend will still show up.

He really should be because today is their special day.

Wonwoo lean his back and closed his eyes, feeling so tired of waiting. Upon opening it, a bottled water is floating right before his eyes. Not really floating though. He noticed the arms over his right shoulder which holds the bottle.

His eyebrows knitted in confusion. Is this Jun? he thought.

"Here. This is for you. Drink this so you won't get dehydrated" said by the person behind Wonwoo.

Wonwoo turn his back to face the person offering the water. "You?!"

"Yes, me!" the guy beamed.

Wonwoo look at him in combined disgust and disbelief.

"C'mon, Won! Take this. I didn't put any black magic in there don't you worry." He winks and took the edge of the seat beside Wonwoo. But the latter moved back making a decent distance between them.

Wonwoo took the water anyway. He's thirsty. He felt like he lost gallons of water on his body. The water is refreshing.

"Thanks to me."

"Kim Mingyu, why are you here?" Wonwoo sends glare and refused to say thank you.

Mingyu just smile sweetly, "You've been waiting here for two hours already. I got worried so I bought you some refreshment. Aren't you refreshed?"

"What the hell. Are you stalking me?! Again!? How do know how long-- omg! I swear you are the creepiest person I know! Stop following me!!" Wonwoo said with irritation.

Mingyu was taken aback. He open his mouth, but no words come out. Me? Stalker? Creepy? Until he finally constructed his thoughts.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. And let me rephrase that, I'm not stalking you Jeon Wonwoo, I'm just--I just want to look after you every minute and every second possible. I want to take care of you."

The sincerty is present in Mingyu's voice but Wonwoo just rolled his eyes.

"Mingyu, you don't have to!"

"But I want to, Wonwoo. I love you. And I won't stop and get tired of showing you that I love you." Mingyu grabs Wonwoo's hand but Wonwoo immediately took it back.

"I will always remind you about my feelings, so if the right time came, the time that you are ready, I'm still here. It will be worth it." Sadness suddenly takes over on Mingyu.

But Wonwoo didn't buy any of Mingyu's words. He scoffed and avoid Mingyu's stare and then he saw a familiar figure.

"Jun hyung!" Wonwoo shouted while waving his hand excitedly for the guy to look at their direction.

Mingyu can also recognize the guy approaching them. Of course, who else wouldn't notice the popular senior guy in Mansae University. The best friend of the love of his life. The cool, tall and handsome Chinese guy, Wen Jun Hui.

Jun was about to give his explanation but Mingyu interrupts him.

"Wonwoo waited for you for almost two hours. Did you know how much heat of sunlight burns his skin? Oh, and did you know that sunlight during this time of the day is very harmful? What kind of be--" But before Mingyu loses his temper, Wonwoo stopped him from confronting Jun.

"Mingyu, could you please shut up!" Wonwoo yelled that makes Mingyu froze in his position. Jun just can't help but laugh in the situation. He looks at Wonwoo.

"Wonwoo, you are so lucky to have this lover boy in your life. When will you realize that, huh?" Jun smiles but Wonwoo hit his arms as a response. Mingyu on the other hand stare at Wonwoo with the same question on his mind. When Wonwoo? When?

"Mingyu.." Mingyu return his look to Jun as the older says his name. "I'm so sorry. It is not my intention to make Wonwoo wait for me. It's just that our taekwando training was delayed so it ended late. I'm so sorry." Jun move his eyes back to Wonwoo. "Wonwoo? Will you forgive me?"

"Of course hyung, I understand" The two friends smile to each other.

Mingyu realized that he overreacted. And also, he realized how special Wonwoo and Jun's relationship is. Wonwoo doesn't care how long he waited. He trust Jun so much. He know that the older will come so he didn't leave the place no matter what.

"I'm going" Jun and Wonwoo looked at Mingyu.

"Please take care of him.. hyung" he added. Jun respond with a nod. Mingyu gives a 90 degree bow as a sign of respect to the older before he left the two.

Wonwoo rolled his eyes with Mingyu's last words but gives a glance to the guy as he leaves.

"You like him."

Wonwoo's eyes widen with Jun's statement.

"Nope. I don't!" the younger protested,

"Hahaha. Wonwoo, you can't lie to me! Not me. We've been friends for 5 years already so I can really tell what is truth and what is lie."

Wonwoo rolled his eyes for the nth time for this day, "Whatever hyung!"

"So tell me, is he a stalker or an admirer?" Jun asked while still looking at Mingyu who's already fading from their sight.

"Admirer."

"Aw! I told you, you like him."

"Whaat?! I didn't say that!"

"But you said he's an admirer. And as far as I remember, you told me about the difference of a stalker and an admirer." Wonwoo starts recalling what his friends is actually saying.

Jun continues, "If the person is good-looking, he is considered as an admirer. And if the person is NOT.. I'll give emphasize to that word,"--both boys laugh with the idea--"if he's NOT good-looking, then he is a stalker, right?" Wonwoo nods.

"And awhile ago, you told me that Mingyu is an admirer. Therefore, Jeon Wonwoo, you find Mingyu quite good-looking. You like him dude!" Jun covers Wonwoo's mouth just before the younger say a word.

"And if I'm not mistaken, you don't appreciate someone's visuals unless you like them." Jun gives Wonwoo an annoying smile and let go of his mouth, "So, Mingyu's cute, right?"

"NO!"

Jun looks at Wonwoo as if waiting for another response.

"Aargg! Okay! Okay! Maybe he's really good-looking, but hyung, I'm still more handsome than him!"

Jun gives Wonwoo a satisfied smile and put his arms around the younger's shoulder. "I got it! But please remember, I'm the most handsome here." Wonwoo hit Jun's stomach with his elbow.

"Hyung, we are supposed to celebrate our 5th anniversary as best friends. So can we please stop talking about other people?" Wonwoo pulls Jun's arm to tell the older to start walking.

Jun pulled Wonwoo back to face him and he put his hands on Wonwoo's shoulders.

"Okay. But I just want to give you, a friendly advice. Stop pretending. I know you like hiilm. Mingyu has been wooing you for like 6 months? I can see the sincerity in his eyes and actions. And I strongly believe that you have already fallen for him. Don't be afraid Wonwoo. Follow what your heart is saying, before it's too late."

Wonwoo looks straight to Jun's eyes. He realized how lucky he was to have Jun as his best friend. The older is always there to protect, guide and love him. He couldn't ask for more. Jun by his side is more than enough.

"Let's go, hyung."
