Empty Chair 2///Meanie

Time passing by, the snow melts and flowers started to blooming. Wonwoo keep coming to the cafe and order black coffee that he loves, and as always Mingyu gave Wonwoo a special cake. Only for Wonwoo.

Wonwoo open the cafe's door. It's pretty crowded today. Some chatting, studying, dating or even only for buying the cakes.

Wonwoo sat at the table at the corner as always. It's became Wonwoo's favorite place. Wonwoo sat and playing with his phone, waiting for Mingyu done with the orders.

Around 1 hour later, but the cafe still crowded. Wonwoo's cups already empty, same as the plate. But Mingyu still busy so Wonwoo decided to wait for him.

Finally it's already empty, and yes it's night. Almost the time to close the cafe, but Wonwoo still waiting. He is fell asleep, with his hands on the table as a pillow for his head. Mingyu came to see Wonwoo and then smiling because of the view. Mingyu took the empty cup and plate on the table. He put it at the dishes, and go to the door, change the sign into 'Sorry, we are CLOSED'.

He went back to Wonwoo's table, staring at Wonwoo's face. Wonwoo sleep peacefully, let out a small snore and makes Mingyu chuckle. Mingyu took out a small blanket from the counter and wrap it around Wonwoo's body slowly and carefully, don't want to wake Wonwoo up.

Mingyu sit and keep staring at Wonwoo as tears started to falling from his eyes. Mingyu pat Wonwoo's head and then stroke his hand too. Mingyu cries in silence. Mingyu wipe his tears with his hands. Then he fell asleep with Wonwoo on the table. Still holding Wonwoo's hand.

Morning came, the sky crying like a presentative of Mingyu's tears that fell from his eyes last night. Mingyu brewing a cup of black coffee for Wonwoo. Meanwhile Wonwoo just staring blankly the outside world from the cafe's window. He felt that something is wrong. His heart said something there is something wrong. But his head saying that nothing seems wrong.

The coffee done, Mingyu put the cup at the table in front of him and Wonwoo. He sat, saying nothing. For the first time, there is a long silence between them. Nobody intiate to started the conversation. Mingyu not opening the cafe. Yes, they are lost in their blurry thoughts.

Wonwoo take the cup, his lips touching with the cold cup, he started to sip it. His face turned into a miserable and confused one. Wonwoo looked up to Mingyu that still staring blankly, drowning in the sea of thoughts.

"What's wrong?" asks Wonwoo, staring at Mingyu that spacing out.

"Mingyu?"

"Ah? Sorry, it's nothing!" said Mingyu, weirdly -like trying to hide something behind his smile.

Wonwoo still confused, it's not like the usual Mingyu. The smile, the aura, it's different. It's like he is became weaker and weaker day by day. Mingyu still faking a smile but, because of Wonwoo's confused face, Mingyu pat Wonwoo's head gently. Makes Wonwoo let out a soft smile and Mingyu let out a gentle smile.

They enjoying the rainy morning in silence. Sometimes they just staring at each other, drowned in each other thoughts. The cafe closed for a day. Just both of them in there, enjoying their moments as if it's their last time to spent times together.

Wonwoo decided to go back to his apartment and Mingyu take a rest too. They just staring at each other and saying good bye. Not even saying "See you later" anymore. Their throbbing hearts still wanted more but, it feels like... They know that they can't.

Mingyu go back to the inside, and crying. Wonwoo throw his umbrella, hide his tears between the raindrops.

Days passing by, they still not seeing each other again. Wonwoo decided to go to the cafe. He prepare his feelings, trying to make himself calm. He is so happy, because finally he can meet Mingyu again. Now Wonwoo standing in front of the door and went it.
