I Love You, My Friend - Song Mingi

#7

• Mingi's POV•
I was so embarrassed by the fact that I grabbed Sungyeon's wrist. Although she said it was ok, she looked uncomfortable. Or nervous.
Wait, why would she be nervous? Maybe I creeped her out a bit.
We walked in silence down the hallway, and i was going crazy on the inside. What am I supposed to say to her? Why isn't she saying anything. Maybe she was waiting on me to say something.
- did you sleep well?
- do you like cats?
We said at the same time.
Then we just looked at each other, and laughed.
- I do like cats.
I told her, making her grin. Not in a weird way, like yesterday.
- I don't really sleep well in general.
She said.
- I'm sorry.
I said.
- it's not your fault.
She said, and laughed.

We had reached our practice room by now. But I suddenly didn't feel like going in there. Because I wanted to spend time with Sungyeon alone. So that I could have all her attention. I didn't know why.
- You know what? We actually just finished practice.
I said.
- Oh...
she said, like she was disappointed. Maybe I shouldn't have said it. I was sort of lying after all.
- Do you want to go eat with me?
I asked her.
- sure!
She said, and smiled.

We left the KQ building, and went to the ramen shop.
- I've never eaten ramen two days in a row.
Sungyeon said, after we found a table.
- I once ate only ramen, for two weeks.
I said, making her laugh.
Our food came, and she started eating, just as fast as she did yesterday. It made me laugh, because it was adorable. We started talking, and I noticed how little she would tell me about herself. I had almost told her everything about me. All I knew about her was that she liked cats, had problems sleeping, and lived with her cousin.
But because of they way she smiled... they way she looked, and how she laughed. It was enough for me.
- why are you looking at me like that?
She asked me.
Oh god had I been staring at her?
I had to come up with something.
- Uhm.. you have food on your face.
I said.

• Sungyeon's POV•

After Mingi told me I had food on my face, I got really embarrassed. I used my sweater to wipe my face. I probably looked stupid.
- is it gone?
I asked him.
- Yes it's gone.
He said with a weird facial expression.
- are you sure?
I asked him.
- Yeah I'm sure.
He said.
I still hadn't gotten over how he was staring at me, and my throats was getting dry. I reached for the water mug, just as Mingi did the same. Our hands touched, making my heart skip a beat. What's up with that?
I was waiting for him to let go of the mug, but he didn't. He was just looking at my hands. Was he really expecting me to let go? I definitely reached for it first.

- You're in so much trouble.
We both let go of the water mug, when Yunho and San sat down by our table. Where did they even come from?
- What do you mean?
I asked San.
- Mingi totally skipped practice to be with you.
San said, and smirked.
But Mingi told me that practice was over? Had he lied?
- I'm sorry.
Mingi said when he noticed my facial expression.
- why are you sorry?
Yunho asked, and laughed.
- because he lied to me.
I said.
I suddenly didn't want to be here anymore.
- I have to go.
I said, and got up from my seat.

Before I exited the restaurant, I could hear Mingi saying my name.
Please don't follow me, please don't follow me.
I ran back to my cousins studio. I got so tired from running, that I had to sit down on the couch before I would pass out.
- what's going on?
Kyung asked me.
- Nothing.
I said.
- it's obviously something.
He said.
- I'm just tired.
I said.
- you do look pretty tired.
Kyung said.
Obviously I was tired from running. But I was also tired of.. people. I knew I didn't really have the right to be mad a Mingi for lying. Because I was worse. everything I did, was a lie.
Kyung came over to the couch, and sat down beside me.
- let's just go home now, ok?
He asked me, and patted my head.
- ok.
I said.

Kyung gathered his stuff, and then we left his studio. My feet was killing me, because I wasn't a very active person. I spent many months just laying in bed all day after my brother died. I should probably start working out.
- I can't walk..
I said.
Kyung looked at me, and sighed.
- do you want me to carry you on my back?
He asked.
- only if I can pretend you're a horse.
I said.
- never mind.
Kyung said.

But he ended up carrying me anyways. When we got inside the car, I fell asleep.
I woke up when kyung flicked my forehead.
- I thought you were dead for a second.
He said, and laughed.
- I wish I was.
I said.
- Sungyeon! You better shut you mouth.
Kyung said.
- I'm sorry. It was a joke.
I said.

We walked inside our apartment, and I went straight to my room to put on more comfortable clothes. after I changed, I sat down on my bed, and looked at my phone. I was expecting a message from Mingi, but I hadn't gotten one. But i had one from Hongjoong.

Hongjoong: are you ok?

Did he know about what happened?

Sungyeon: I'm fine :)
Hongjoong: thats good.

I put down my phone, and left it in my room when I went looking for Kyung.
I smelled popcorn, which could only mean one thing. Movie night. I ran to the living room and found Kyung sitting on the couch, pouring hot chocolate in two cups.
- what do you want to watch? Action or comedy?
He asked me.
- action. With guns and people dying.
I answered.
Kyung just laughed, and went to find a movie.
After we finished the movie, I noticed kyung had fallen asleep. I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep, because I already took a nap in the car.
I put a blanket over Kyung, and went back to my room.
I decided to check my phone again.
He had finally texted me.

Mingi: I don't really know what to say..
Sungyeon: then don't say anything.
Sungyeon: goodnight.

I put my phone down, and sighed. Why did I have to do this? I wasn't even mad anymore. But I should still act like it.

Because wouldn't a normal person still be mad?

AN: more chapters tomorrow:)
