"Lim Changkyun"

Its not surprising that Jooheon knew my name all this time. I used to sign my name whenever i wrote him notes on my arm. It feels unfair that he practically knows so much about me while i wasnt even aware of his existence. I didnt know his gender, his age, his name, absolutely nothing.

I didnt speak a word, i prefered to hear the whole story before making up a conclusion. "I hated you too when i found out your name. You didnt do anything to me but i felt the need to hate you" Minhyuk was choking out his words, his nose started running. Hes so ugly when he cries. Even though i felt so angry i could kill him, i now felt bad for him instead of pitying myself. I always seem to forget that Minhyuk has been through so much rough times throughout his life because hes so happy now. Hes been smiling ever since he'd met Hyunwoo.

"as we got closer and i found out how passionate you were about meeting your soulmate and that made me even more mad" he almost growled as he gripped at my jacket. "it infuriated me that he and i broke up because he was so obsessed with you but instead of reaching out to you, he just watched your messages and admired you from afar like you were a distant unreachable mountain" his analogy made nearly no sense but i let him speak his emotional garbage poetry. "i didnt want him to treat you like that so i tried to keep him away from you and told myself he didnt deserve you and you deserved better" his voice got more and more quiet at each word before his head dropped against my shouler. "i realize that it wasnt my decision to make" he whispered, his voice sounding like a pained animal cry.

"im sorry changkyun, i really didnt mean to hurt you. i was scared he was going to hurt you like he hurt me" he sobbed into my shoulder and was rocking me pretty hard. Somehow i was the one comforting him when it should be the other way around. He's a very emotional person.

"If you were so scared all these years, what made you willingly invite him here with open arms knowing that i would meet him and find out who he really was" i asked seriously as i still patted his head to calm his violent ugly sobbing. He looked up with his makeup running down his face like those dramatic girls crying under the rain in dramas. How unattractive.

He sniffled loudly making me grimace and vigoroudly wiped his face with his sleeve. He sighed deeply to calm his ragged breathing before springing up to his feet and sniffling once more. He held out his hand for me to hold on to as i get up onto my feet as well. I still waited for his response but i just followed his lead when he started walking.

"I met him earlier today at your cafe" he smiled and shot a funny look to me. What a quick change of mood. Jooheon was the last person i would expect to frequent that type of place. "he was crying to your halmoni about how much he loved you and i just happened to walk in at that moment" he chuckled nonchalantly. I could barely hold back a laugh, for some reason the image of Jooheon sitting in a pink girly cafe and sobbing his heart out about his feelings to an old lady seemed ridiculous. "then when he saw me he started crying even more and i honestly started to feel bad for the guy" he admitted while looking up at the cloudless sky. Its impossible to imagine what hes thinking about. I just watched him as he spoke and looked deep in thought. His face was a horrendous mess but he still somehow managed to look charming. What a man.

"this morning you looked sad before i left you to hang out with Hyunwoo and i always knew how much you wanted to meet your soulmate" his smiled dropped again. "I felt bad for keeping both of you apart. I've been so selfish" i just patted his back comfortingly and gave him a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder and that was enough to make him smile again. "i told him that i knew who his soulmate was and he started crying so loud i didnt know what to do with him anymore so i invited him to the party hoping that you two could meet... well that didnt go great" he laughed to himself a little grimly.

I hummed out a long low note as i thought about how to take this situation. On one hand its great that i have a soulmate and hes the most beautiful human ive ever laid eyes on. On the other, he hurt my Minhyuk, he never replied to me despite apparently being "obsessed" with me and im not sure how to feel about that. He doesnt seem like a bad person or at least doesnt look like one. People do say that looks can be decieving and there must be a reason for that. Hes my soulmate though....my actual real life soulmate.

"i think ill have to sleep off what has happened today" i chuckled lightly and shoved my hands into the pockets of my jacket. "I dont think i can face the guy yet" i did curse him out afterall. Probably scared him, i hope that it didnt hurt him too bad. He seemed really shaken back there tho, i cant really understand why he was so scared when he realized who i was.

"He's probably balled up on the floor rocking himself and crying at the moment. You sure you dont want to talk to him?" Minhyuk asked with hopeful eyes. I smiled and shook my head.

"Just tell him that i dont hate him and that ill talk to him when im ready" i stopped walking when we came to an intersection crossing. Minhyuk was smiling brightly like his usual puppy self. I lightly slapped his chest. "Dont beat yourself up, you did good" before i even managed to finish the last syllable he had hooked me into a tight hug which honeslty felt like he was gonna suffocate me with his overflowing affection. I tapped on his back for him to release me and luckily he did. I felt my life flash before my eyes for a second there.

He rocked back and forth from his heels to his toes like a cute little kid. "ill see you tomorrow then" he exclaimed as he waved snd walked backwards towards his house where we came from. I shook my head with a huge smile across my face and waved back at him.

What would i do without this guy?
