I Will Fight For You (A The8 Fanfiction)

Chapter 42

I woke up the next day and it all felt surreal. Did it all really happen? I stared at the plain white ceiling until I heard my phone ring to inform me of a notification. I stretched my arm out and reached for my phone.

Perfect.

Minghao: Good morning! <3

Eh? Was this real? I slapped my face. No, maybe this was him still pursuing me. I sat up.

Me: Did we really get back together yesterday? Or was it a dream?... Please be honest.

Minghao: We really got back together. We also helped a cat that got a glass shard stuck in its paw. It's really real.

Minghao: *image*

He sent a picture we took together. We were physically close to each other in the picture. If I had been resisting him, I would never let him get that close to him and I would not be smiling as I did in the picture. I guess it really was real. Wow. It finally ended. No more having to resist him. I sighed in relief.

Since we were back together and on good terms again, we resumed teaching each other our native languages. I taught him Korean and he taught me Chinese. He'd come over to my house or we'd meet somewhere out of the public eye since he was an idol. Every time he came to my house, he would be disguised in a hoodie, mouth mask and sunglasses. Since he often wore oversized hoodies and was recognised for it, he would have on those that fit him just nicely. He also had to lie to his fellow members since they were uninformed about us besides Jun and Hoshi.

It went on that way for a few weeks before Minghao decided to break it to the other members that we were dating. It caused an uproar in the dorm according to him. After they knew, he did not have to lie to them whenever he came over. With that, I asked if I could just come over to the dorm instead. Minghao was tired enough so going over to the dorm saved his energy of coming over to my house.

So that was what lead me to this situation. I was standing outside the building of the dorm, gripping my tote bag. I hope it would not be overwhelming like before. Though it had been some time since I met them so this was rather nerve-wracking.

Soon, Minghao came down and he brought me up to the dorm. When we got to the door of the dorm, he made sure I was ready. He then knocked the door before swinging the door open.

I expected shouting and for them to crowd around me like that one time but they all seemed to be doing their own things. Some in their separated rooms. However, those who saw me would give a casual wave. I simply nodded with a shy hello. Ok... A girl was currently in their dorm and they were casual about it?

Minghao bent down and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I knew you'd get nervous if they swarmed you and started shouting so I told them in advance to just act normal and not shout," he told me.

He did that for me? He remembered? I was honestly touched by what he did. It really did help me. I felt less nervous. My nervous, forced smile was replaced with a genuine smile.

"Thank you. That's so nice of you," I thanked him.

"Actions speak louder than words so I think a kiss would do it?" he suggested.

I rolled my eyes. I did a quick scan of the room and everyone there averted their gaze from me. They tried their best to look somewhere else. I guess that was a clear enough. I turned my head and quickly kissed him. His cheeks were dusted pink nonetheless. He was rather shy of doing such things in front of his members.

Instead of holding my hand, he called me and lead me to a room, probably the one he shared with his members. The moment we entered, those in the room left instantly. One of them nudged Minghao and smirked at him on the way out. They closed the door behind them. Then about a second later, the door opened again and Jun's head popped out.
