Cold Eyes //MX I.M

Chapter VII: Fallin'

I woke up, feeling someone back hugging me. I smiled and turned my body to face that 'someone', seeing him sleeping peacefully. I pecked his lips and tried to got out of his grip. But, I eventually failed.

"Where do you think you're going, Ms. Jung?"he asked as he tightened his grip.

"I'm going home. Minhyuk must be very worried about me" I answered and finally escaping from his grip. He groaned and sat up.

"Minhyuk again. Why don't you just stay here with me?"he complained.

"Because I like to stay with Minhyuk more. He's my best friend--"

"And I'm your boyfriend"he cut off my sentence.

"Who told you that you're my boyfriend?" I joked and he widened his eyes.

"I'm not?!"he exclaimed.

"I'm just kidding"I said and laughed.

"But, seriously, I need to go now"I added shortly after I laughed.

"Fine. But give me a kiss first"he said. I went to him and gave him a peck and left quickly. I heard him shouting my name, telling me to come back but I just laughed and continued walking. As I walked further, I saw Minhyuk standing in front of our apartment. He looks like he didn't sleep at all, nor eat. I quickly went to him.

"Minhyuk-ah, what are you doing outside?" I asked.

"Well, I've been waiting for you all night. Where have you been?! I'm so fucking worried about you! You didn't even sent me a message or called me! Why are you like that, Eunsoo?! I always care for you and you know that but you don't seem to care for me! A simple text saying you're not coming home is enough for me to prove that you care for me because you know that if you won't, I won't be able to sleep nor eat! But you didn't! Because you don't care for me!" he shouted. Bombarded me with knife-like words that hit me. He's right. I should've told him that I won't be home last night.

"I'm sorry, Minh-"

"Where have you been?!" He asked, cutting off my sentence.

"I-I've been t-to Changkyun's h-house. He's kind of m-my boyfriend...now" I stuttered and mumbled the last sentence but he still managed to hear.

When he heard that, he stoped. He became quiet. After a while, rivers of tears start flowing in his cheeks.

"Okay then...just be with him" he simply said and turned around, walking inside our apartment. But, before he could enter, I called him as he looked at me.

"Yah! Why are you crying?" I asked worriedly. He scoffed and laughed bitterly making my heart break.

"You don't fucking know? You don't fucking know right? You don't fucking know that I fucking love you!" He confessed. I widened my eyes, shocked from what he said.

"I love you...so fucking much...I always do...since we got close. I always give you hints about how I feel but you won't take them. You just see me as your best friend and nothing more. I have always cared for you, try making you laugh when you're down, always support you...I've been always here for you...for more than 3 years! And that new guy you just know for a few months captured you're heart!" He continued, still crying. Meanwhile, my tears are also flowing.

"You know what? It's better if we don't become friends anymore. I'll just leave our apartment and live somewhere else. I hope he makes you happy. I hopes he loves you better than I do. And I hope that you forget me"he spoke his last words as he gets inside our apartment while I am stuck in my place...frozen. I can't move. I can't speak. I can't even stop him. After a few minutes of spacing out, he came out with his luggage, his things and ignored me as he walk away. The sight of him walking away brought back my voice.

"Minhyuk! Come back! Please!"I called but he ignored me. I ran to him and tried to hug him but he just pushed me in the ground. A taxi arrived as he got in it quickly. The driver drove him away quickly, leaving me behind.

"Minhyuk! Come back!"

I sat on the ground crying. The sight of him leaving...the sight of our friendship falling to pieces...the sight of us crying...it shatters my heart to pieces...
