55 - The Truth

The morning didn't turn out as Sumin had planned it. She woke up next to Baekhyun but for her surprise, she was still wearing her clothes and it was just him who had his underwear on and nothing else.

As her eyes wandered to his body that sat on the edge of the bed, her heart started to race. Their argument yesterday was the worst one they ever had and it was clear to the girl that it escalated since all the clothes were lying on the ground, and even the pictures of the shooting were on the bed.

"Why can't we solve those problems like normal people?" Baekhyun's husky voice was heard and caught Sumin's attention. She looked towards the sitting man and held back her tears, even after crying the whole night in his arms wasn't enough.

"I don't know." She quietly said slid to the edge next to him and looked down to the ground.

"Do you love him?" He asked and caught the girl off guard. His face turned to hers and then he noticed the change on her. There wasn't the feeling she had for her boyfriend anymore, as if the flame in her eyes got smaller. "Just tell me." His voice broke in the middle of his words.

Sumin didn't know what to answer. She surely had feelings for him but she didn't want to lose Baekhyun after all they've been through. She was in love with him but the fact that they always argued because of her friends made everything harder for her.

"I l-like him." She stuttered and met his pain filled eyes, in the hope that she wouldn't leave him. "But I love you."

Baekhyun sighed and got up from the bed to calm down from what he just heard. His girlfriend admitted that there was something she felt for Jimin, but she also loved him. Nothing more hurt him than hearing those words from the only person he loved that much. It felt like someone ripped his heart out and jumped on it a hundred times.

He was about to speak again but Sumin's phone started to ring loudly and she grabbed it to answer her brothers call.

"Hello?" Sumin tried to sound as normal as ever in the hope that her brother wouldn't notice that she actually cried her eyes off. "Sorry, I forgot that I should've called you. Yes, I'll be down in five minutes."

She hung up and turned to Baekhyun before he could ask questions. Sumin quickly changed into something else and combed her hair into a ponytail before walking towards him with her eyes still focused on his face.

"I need to meet Chan now. We'll talk when I'm back, okay?" Baekhyun nodded his head and stepped closer to the small girl, his hand reaching out for her cheeks to cup them and stroke the tears away.

Sumin felt his cold fingers on her skin which made her even sadder than before and she quickly wrapped her arms around his body to hug him tightly. Her head landed on his chest, hearing how the beat of his heart increased because of the touch of the love of his life. Baekhyun couldn't help himself and pulled away slightly to look down at her eyes again, and then leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips before Sumin left to meet up with her brother.

"So, how have you been? Looks like I missed out on some things." Chan smiled at his little sister.

The two decided to go to a Café and have a coffee together while catching up on the past. Chan was working in Australia as his stepmothers' right hand while Sumin was living in Seoul to finish the school.

"Nothing, just the teenage things." Sumin mumbled and poked her fork into the cake which was in front of her.

"Doesn't look like that. You got a boyfriend and you didn't even bother to tell me about it." Her brother wiggled his eyebrow at the shy girl but what he heard next made him frown.
