mingyu sighs as he opens the door to the police station, steps out in the cool air and let the door close behind him as he starts walking. the door opens again followed by footsteps and he feels someone grab his wrist.

"mingyu, wait." wonwoo's voice is quiet as his hand grabs tightly around mingyu's wrist in an attempt to stop him.

mingyu's steps slow down to a stop and he turns around, staring at wonwoo whose eyes were filled with regretful tears.

"if you have something to tell me just say it." mingyu speaks in a cold tone but inside his heart was breaking apart just looking at the boy in front of him.

wonwoo stands there, quiet and slowly letting his hand slide from mingyu's wrist to his hand and intertwining their hands as he looked down.

"mingyu, listen," he looks up as a tear falls down, leaving a trail of pain on his cheek. "i'm sorry."

mingyu sighs and looks down at their hands, thinking whether to shake his hand out of wonwoo's or grabbing his other one as well. doing neither of them he talks in a calm voice, smooth like honey.

"you know what they say right?" he bites his lip and continues. "your true self shows when you're drunk."

a whimper is heard and mingyu looks up, tears forming in his eyes as he sees wonwoo's red eyes shedding millions of tears. mingyu swallow his own and looks away.

"i saw the video, hyung, i saw what happened." mingyu feel more pressure on his hand as wonwoo squeezes it.

"please, mingyu, i don't even remember it myself. i don't get like that just by drinking alcohol, it had to be something more in that drink i drank. please, believe me, mingyu."

that's true.

"mingyu, you know i love you right? don't you know that i would do anything for you? don't you know that you mean the world to me and that i would do anything for you? please, believe me." wonwoo begs, all choked up as he lowers his head in shame.

mingyu feel his entire heart break in millions of pieces and lets his tears roll down his face.

"i believe you." mingyu whispers as his voice breaks. "but can we ever be like before?"

wonwoo stares at him, his teary eyes glittering in the sun as he lets go of mingyu's hands. he backs up a bit and looks down, shaking his head slowly.

"we can't, huh?" wonwoo whispers quietly, mostly to himself and looks up again. meeting mingyu's pain filled and wet eyes with his own.

"aren't we just making it worse for ourselves, hyung?"

wonwoo bites his lip in an attempt to stop the overflowing tears from escaping.

"i don't know, are we really?" wonwoo sits down on the asphalt, covering his face with his hands as he's too ashamed to look at the younger boy in front of him.

"are we too weak for this, hyung?" mingyu cries, his words echoing in the leaves on the swaying trees around them. his words still hanging in the cold air and pushing wonwoo's mind over the edge.

"this can't be it." wonwoo whimpers to himself and looks up, right at mingyu.

"mingyu," he stands up again. walking closer to mingyu as he wipes his tears on his jacket. mingyu nods. "we can make this work, right? if you're willing to trust me again, we can make this work, right?"

he grabs mingyu's shoulders gently, his face an arm's length away from mingyu's. wonwoo moves his hand up, cupping mingyu's face as he wipes his cheeks relatively dry with his thumb.

"let's not cry, okay?" wonwoo forces a smile. "i told you, right? to never waste your tears on me, didn't i?"

mingyu closes his eyes with a deep breath.

"mingyu, whatever you decide now, i don't want your tears to show, alright? what you decide is the best for you so there's no need to be crying then, okay?" wonwoo smiles through his tears and brushes mingyu's hair out of his face.

mingyu opens his eyes again.

i trust you, hyung.

"you shouldn't cry either, hyung." mingyu places his hand on wonwoo's cheek, gently stroking away the tears. "i care about you, i know i might not always be the best at showing it but i really do."

wonwoo stares at him, his blank eyes still red and puffy.

"hyung," mingyu places his other hand on wonwoo's cheek as well. "i trust you."

wonwoo's heart explodes as he blinks, confused about what was just said.

"y-you do? you really do?" wonwoo's painful eyes changes quickly as he talks with that glimmer of hope sparkling inside of him.

mingyu smiles as he moves closer, letting their foreheads rest against each other. wonwoo's hands, now around mingyu's waist, stroking it gently with his shaking hands as he smiles. mingyu moves away a bit so their eyes can meet before closing them and pressing their lips together. their lips quivering as tears start to roll down their cheeks once again, just this time, they were happy tears.

they pull away slowly, eyes still closed as mingyu presses himself closer and gently lays his hand on the back of wonwoo's head as he presses himself into the shorter boy's shoulder. wonwoo's happy cries his muffled as he presses his nose into mingyu's shoulder, breathing in the warm scent and holding his waist tighter than ever before.

"i love you so much." wonwoo whimpers as mingyu rests his head on the side of wonwoo's, kissing his hair with a smile.

"i love you more, hyung."

"i'm so sorry for everything."

"let's not think about that, hyung."

the sun shines on them, scaring away the casted shadows from the trees above them. the empty and quiet street around them was only filled with the sound of the wind and breathing of the two boys holding each other in the middle of it all.

they both pull away slightly, just reading the other person's face in silence.

"let's go home, hyung." mingyu grabs wonwoo's hand as he nods.

i think angels exist.
