Minghao POV
What if one day, he ends up so messed up that I won't even know him anymore?
I mean, who's to say I even know the real Junhui?
This is all just messing with my brain right now. For a few moments, I just try to stop crying as he holds me in his warm arms.
"Come on, please, I'll be fine, really. " I shake my head, refusing to believe him because I know that with what he just told me, there is no way in hell it'd be fine. The fabric of his shirt is becoming wet with my tears as I just cry and cry. As far as I can remember, I've never cried this much for someone before. "Junnie, please, just get out of there, whatever you do, just get out of that horrid place!"
His voice sounds, well, oddly calm, quiet, like he's just dissociated with any form of emotion. "Minghao, you don't understand, there is nowhere for me to go, at least not without becoming more of a burden on anyone else." That statement struck an idea in my mind, "Then just stay with me, tomorrow, I'll explain everything and you'll stay with me and Mingyu. I've known them for long enough to know that they'll understand and be more than willing to let you stay with us." he has this shocked expression on his face, like he wasn't believing that those words actually just left my mouth.
I look him right in the eyes, and a whole plethora of emotions are just constantly flashing through. I brush his messy bangs out of the way, leaning in closer to his face to get a better look at his beautiful brown orbs. "Junnie, I just love your eyes." I whispered, "Sometimes I see angel, but sometimes I also see devil." his eyes are starting to moisten with tears, but nothing falls out. Instead, he lets them close and before I get a chance to move, I suddenly feel something soft and warm pressing against my lips.
But the sensation was gone quickly, leaving me absolutely dumbfounded. "Sorry, I should've just asked first." He mutters, looking away. Alright, if he's not going to do it, then I will. I grab his face and quickly just kiss him right then and there, the force of my body pretty much throwing him down and a distinct *smack* could be heard as his palm hit the floor to stop himself completely falling onto his back.
I move into a more comfortable position, straddling his waist as I feel our lips get wet with my tears. I go to lean back so I can wipe them but he quickly places his hand behind my head, keeping me in place. I don't know what to do with my hands but eventually one ends up in his hair and the other is somehow up his shirt.
My mind is so cloudy that I can't even comprehend anything else going on, this boy right here is all I can focus on now. We eventually have to pull away for air, and we're just panting so hard and the situation finally registers in my mind. He wipes away my tears, "Your heart is too precious for this world." he said. "Nobody deserves you."
"W...Was that scar really from a surgery?" I ask carefully, and he nods. "They don't hit you, do they?" He pats my back soothingly, "Not very often, but don't worry about it, it doesn't even hurt anymore." Of course, I don't believe him.
There is absolutely no way I'm letting him go back now. "Junnie-hyung, Mingyu's family will help you. Just don't suffer anymore, I can't stand seeing you like this." I try convince him, but he looks reluctant. "What will I tell my parents?"
I grab his shoulders, looking him sternly in the eyes. "If they truly love you, they'll do anything for your safety." I look away, lowering the volume of my voice when I open my mouth again. "I don't know exactly how I feel about you but I know that I care about you."
Junhui, despite being on the brink of tears, just had to continue being the doofus he was, I guess. "You like me, right? That's why you kissed me?"
I roll my eyes. "You idiot."
He leans forward closer to me, and I know that he's just going to kiss me again, I'm not even going to fight it.
Before his lips touch mine, I manage to whisper. "Promise you'll move in with me and Mingyu?" He pauses, "Promise me and I'll let you kiss me." I can just feel the little smile on his mouth as he responds.
"약속해요"
-------------
This chapter was so short sorry but I just kinda felt like I had to get a chapter out ASAP after I realised I hadn't updated in fucking forever lol.
So yeah, Junhui will be moving in with the puppies and I'll try to get something done from there.
