THE MIXNINE HOUSEㅣtop 9 boys

❝ X welcome back ❝

HE grinned at me, reaching up and awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

my jaw dropped down to my feet, seeing the person. i wildly looked at my parent's, who wore satisfied expressions.

"hey, hyejin."

i could feel my cheeks flame up, only hearing those two words. and i didn't know why. it was him. it was him.

"im y-youngmin..." i said, bewildered to see the guy here.

im youngmin.

my boyfriend from the past.

my ex boyfriend now.

to be completely honest, part of me still was attracted to him.

the other part loathed him.

im youngmin, the boy who i fell for in high school, just like your cliche high school love story.

i thought it was all perfect back then, until he disappeared.

he disappeared, only telling his friends to tell me where he was and that we were breaking up, and not even contacting me a single time. not even picking up a single phone call from me.

his friends said he even contacted them often, but i was the only one he never wanted to speak to ever again.

i was completely broken for the longest time, but that made me even stronger. but now that he was back, i felt like my guard had fallen down, just by laying my eyes on the dude.

"you look surprised." he said and laughed.

the laugh was the same as i remembered. "why wouldn't i be, youngmin?"

youngmin stopped laughing and let out a small sigh. "i can explain it all, hyejin."

i shook my head. "to be completely honest, i'm over it." i am, why would i still love you?

"that's exactly what i didn't want to hear..." he muttered to himself.

"what did you expect me to say? 'oh youngmin, i am sooo glad you're back, i am still absolutely all over you after you totally ghosted me!!1!1!1!'" i said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

"let's go somewhere else and talk, okay? i don't think you're parents like hearing us fight." he said.

"there was never an us." i muttered grumpily and looked at my parents, who wore disappointed expressions. my freaking mom was even making an 'X' with her arms--

of course they were on youngmin's side. they absolutely loved that dude.

i followed youngmin out of the house, and we settled in a nearby park on the swings. "why do we need to talk? there's absolutely nothing to talk about."

"how are you?" he asked softly, dismissing everything i had said.

my annoyed face softened for a second, but then i shook my head. "stop that. just say what you wanted to say so i can leave--"

"sorry." youngmin said. "i'm so sorry."

"for what?"
