a few years later | meanie.

eight.

wonwoo took a long coat and went out in the cold weather of the winter, it was freezing enough to snow.

wonwoo rubbed his hands to keeps it hot as he was waiting for the bus. he was going to the same coffee as always, hoping that mingyu will be there at their usual meeting place.

he didn't send any messages to him for the past few weeks. he was still too shameful. but he couldn't help but to go to the coffee shop, he just missed the boy so much.

when he arrived at destination, he looked around.

"mingyu ? is it you ?" he asked while tapping on the back of the guy, but a stranger turned back.

"oh i'm sorry, i have mistaken you for someone else." he apologized.

then, wonwoo ordered a coffee and sat down. he was waiting.

looking around, he saw many couples, many groups of friends.
he was the only one who was alone.
and that's when he realized how lonely he was.

he sighed as he looked down.
the only "real friend" that he had was minghao, but it was too late, both of them couldn't be friends anymore.

after two hours, he finally left the place. he knew that mingyu wouldn't come.

perhaps did he forgot about him ? he thought.

he walked around in neighborhood, feeling even more lonely.
he was about to go back home, when he saw a familiar figure.

"oh kim mingyu ?" he shouted.

the latter turned his head, and waved to wonwoo when he saw him.

"what are you doing here wonwoo hyung ?" mingyu said with a weak smile.

"oh, nothing special ... i was just bored. what about you ?" he answered, lying.

"actually i was looking for you, i wanted to tell you how much i missed you. but i still can't tell you this right ?" he thought.

"i live nearby." the younger boy said.

"oh, that's nice !" he said with an awkward laugh.

"is something wrong hyung ? you keep saying "oh"." he asked, frowning.

"no no, nothing's wrong, actually i wanted to have a talk with you ? should we go somewhere warm ?"

the tallest agreed and proposed to wonwoo to go to his house.
both were on the way to mingyu's house, but none of them talked.
they were too awkward, after all the weeks without talking to each other.

when they arrived, mingyu gave wonwoo a cup of tea and both of them sat on the sofa.

"so, what did you wanted to tell me ?"

"nothing special ... just things like how have you been during these weeks ?"

"well, fine ..."

"we haven't talked to each other for a long time." started wonwoo. "did ... did you missed me ?" he continued, eyes hopeful.

mingyu didn't answered. wonwoo then, continued his talk.

"actually i ... really missed you. i don't know why. you just come to my mind everyday." he said, making mingyu a little shocked.

"i don't know what to say ... why did you missed me ? i mean ... you have your boyfriend and all-"

"actually we broke up." said wonwoo cutting mingyu.

"why ? no, you don't need to tell me. i will be honest wonwoo, actually i purposely didn't talked to you for the past weeks.
after hearing what seungcheol said, i realized that he was right : he did was the only one who was there for me during all these years, while i was blinded by love." he stopped for a minute.

"so i thought about it a lot. then my conclusion was that i shouldn't be waiting for you anymore, if you are never going to love me back like before. yeah wonwoo, i'm saying that i'm finally giving up." he said.

"you can go now, wonwoo. we shouldn't see each other anymore right ?" he said with a bitter smile and tearful eyes.
