I Love You, My Friend - Song Mingi

#29

- I'm cold.
I told Mingi, as we were walking down the street. After I found out that everyone knew we were dating, I felt embarrassed. So I decided to go home. But then Mingi convinced me to take a walk and then go back to their dorm later.
- you should have brought a jacket.
He said, making me frown.
- take mine.
He said, and took of his jacket.
- but won't you get cold?
I asked him.
- I don't care.
He said, and handed me the jacket. I put it on, and thanked him.
- if you get sick it's not my fault.
I said, making him laugh.
- if I get sick you can take care of me.
He said, and almost kissed me, but he pulled away just before. There was a few people in the same street.
- I almost forgot.
Mingi said, and sighed.
- let's go somewhere private.
I said.

We went to a back ally, with no people around.
- this is usually were people get murdered you know.
I said, and laughed.
- let's go back then, I'll kiss you right in front of everyone on the street.
Mingi said, and kissed my cheek.
- stop it.
I said, and laughed.
- But maybe I can.. one day.
Mingi said.
Would we really be able to be a couple in public one day?
- yeah maybe in ten years.
I said.
- ten years?
Mingi asked, and laughed.
Oh god why did I say ten years?
I probably sounded crazy. Maybe he didn't even plan on being with me that long.
- don't take that too seriously I was just saying that I...
I started saying, but got interrupted by Mingi kissing me.
- would you really wait ten years for me?
He asked me.
- do you want me to?
I asked him.
- do you want me to want you to?
Mingi asked, making me laugh.
- you're an idiot.
I said.

After walking for a little while longer, we went back to the dorm. At first I didn't want to go back inside, but Mingi promised no one would act any different around me. He wasn't right.
They did ask a lot of questions, which made me realize that this was probably a group of boys that hadn't even dated anyone like ever. And I couldn't help but wonder if Mingi had dated anyone before me, or not.
Would it be weird if I asked him about it? What if he asked me the same? He was the first person I had ever had those kind of feeling for... but maybe that wasn't a bad thing at all.
- does anyone want to watch a movie?
Yeosang asked us.
We were all sitting in their living room, just talking. Well, they were talking and I was deep in my own thoughts, not really paying attention.
- I want to watch Harry Potter!
Yunho said.
- you've made us watch all the movies like ten times now.
Mingi said.
- but they get better every time!
Yunho said, and frowned.
- I've never seen Harry Potter...
I said.
- ....Are you crazy?
Yunho asked, making me laugh.
- let's watch something cool. Like die hard.
I said.
- you like die hard?
Hongjoong asked me.
- yeah it's the best cop movie ever.
I said.
- I know right!
Hongjoong said, and grinned.
- I've never seen Die hard.
Yunho said.
- are you crazy?
I asked him, making everyone laugh.

After arguing for a while, we decided to watch the second Harry Potter movie. Yunho had made so many cute facial expression at me that I just agreed that he could decide the movie. It sort of annoyed Mingi. Not because Yunho got to choose the movie, but the other part. It was all my fault, because I couldn't stop giggling at how cute Yunho was.
The movie wasn't that bad, I just had no idea what was going on. But then... I saw a spider. Actually it was probably a million spiders.
- oh my god I think I'm gonna pass out.
I said, and got up from the couch.
I had been scared of spiders ever since my brother put one on my face and I swallowed it when we were kids. I was getting really dizzy, so I went to the kitchen to get some water.
Why would someone put so many spiders in one movie?

- what's going on?
I turned around to see Seonghwa standing in the kitchen doorway.
- spiders.
I said, and took a sip of my water.
- yeah I'm not really a big fan of spiders myself.
Seonghwa said, and laughed.
- I'm just generally overwhelmed today.
I said.
- about everyone knowing about your relationship with Mingi?
He asked me.
- Yeah. And the freaking spiders.
I said.
- I didn't actually know until today that you guys were a thing..
Seonghwa said.
- I thought you found him annoying and clingy.
Seonghwa said.
- don't say that so loud.
I said.
- I'm sorry. It's just what you wrote in your notebook.
Seonghwa said.
- that was a long time ago.
I said.
- that was under three months ago.
Seonghwa said.
Why was he even bringing this up now?
- Things changed. You know that.
I said.
- I guess so.
He said, and smirked.
- tell me something else you've done that's bad.
He asked me.
- why?
I asked.
- why not?
He asked.
- does forcing my maid to eat a crayon count as a bad thing?
I said.
- well, yeah.
Seonghwa said, and laughed.
- your family has a maid?
He then asked me.
- yeah my mom is apparently allergic to cleaning supplies.
I said.
- although I'm not sure that's a real thing.
I continued.

- what are you guys talking about?
Mingi asked us, as he walked into the kitchen.
- crayons.
Seonghwa said, making me laugh.
