You clamped a hand over your mouth, gasping. Why... Why did Xiumin have Minseok's pendant with him??
Yeah, you yourself knew that the names were different, that was what was holding you back.
You wanted to tell convince yourself that the golden pendant can be found anywhere, but at the same time, how you wished that Xiumin really was Minseok.
But...
If so,
Xiumin definitely knew that you were (y/n), his childhood friend. Why did he hide it from you? As thousands more questions filled you head, Xiumin came barging into the laundry room, panting.
As he saw the pendant in your hands, his eyes widened.
"(y-y/n)... "
"Why didn't you tell me you were Minseok? Why did you change your name? Now I understand why you always acted and treated me just like uhm, well, uhm, yourself. I came to Korea to search for you. Who knew that you were actually closer than I thought. You liar, " You scoffed, tears brimming your eyes.
"(y/n), let me explain. You'll understand everythi- , "
"Sorry, but I don't need to, neither do I want to. I don't even know who you are anymore. Minseok, my childhood friend and first love- , "
"Fi-first love? " the man in front of you gasped.
You glared at him.
"-or Xiumin, my boss and current love, "
His jaw dropped.
That's when you realised you just confessed your stupid love to him. Face burning with embarrassment, shyness, anger, and frustration, you ran out of the laundry room and out of the house, not forgetting to bring you phone or wallet with you.
"(y/n)! "
You heard Xiumin call for you when you already ran out of the house, but you ignored him and kept running.
You couldn't believe it. You thought you had fallen in love with two different people, but they turned out to be the same Minseok.
You were broken.
How could Minseok hide it from you?!
You told him about Minseok (ok this is weird ahaha), so no doubt, he knew that you were, well... you.
You were confused as well.
Who is he?
Xiumin...
or,
Minseok?
Even words could not describe the pain in your heart. This was the second time you cried over a boy as the first time was when Minseok left. He hurt you twice. Although indirectly, you felt a sudden anger towards him.
You were...
lonely.
You didn't know where you were heading to. You just wanted to get away from your landlord. You knew that sooner or later, you still had to face him but you needed alone time to yourself.
'Wait, '
The more you thought about it, the more certain your mother and that best friend of hers knew all about this.
You buried your face in your hands and sighed.
You didn't know what to do anymore.
