Thank U for Being on My Side | ATEEZ Yunho

#26

Your phone has been ringing since you arrived home, you really just want to sleep your distracted mind away. You grab your phone to turn it off so there's no more buzzing that starting to give you headache.

"Why don't you accept the call sweetie?" your mom has stood in front of you.

"Oh I'm just tired eomma.." you said weakly.

"Then you should get ready for sleep"

"Yeah.. oh and why are you still up?"

"No you actually woke me up by the continuous buzzing of your phone.. You want to tell me something?" /mother's intuition is always so strong huh/. Despite her worried look towards you, you brushed it off saying that you're just tired as you got a lot of customers today and give her a small smile. You don't want to talk about it, you despised the idea of how your mom would overreact and give you an earful.

It's been a while since you close your eyes but sleep didn't come to you. Your mind is still clouded with the thoughts of him, his uncle, Seonghwa, and what the future might held for you. Your hand try to reach your phone on the night stand, you usually listen to a calming music to help you sleep. You finally turn it back on and you're greeted by a couple of missed call and texts from Seonghwa, and a single text from Yunho. Your thumb is just above the music streaming site icon but you pressed the home button and open the message from him.

Yunho

Are you asleep yet?

It was sent two hours ago, you didn't think of replying him but suddenly your phone rings, he is calling you. You let it ring a few seconds before you press the green button and move your phone towards your ear. "Hello?"

"Oh Y/n-ah! You're not asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep.."

"You sounds really tired though? Are you okay?" You're so fed up by people worrying for you, yes you're grateful but everyone must think that you're really weak or something.

"Yunho-ya, I think I'm sleepy now, I'm hanging u-"

"Y/n wait, I haven't apologize to you.. sorry you have to hear that from my uncle. Did he apologized to you yet?" Yunho knew that his uncle have apologized to you but he just want to hear your voice more before he sleeps.

You are quiet so Yunho calls for you. "Yeah he has apologized.."

"I promise you that won't happen again Y/n, and I've progressed a lot, I think we can meet on the weekend~" he sounds happy telling you that, but you don't really feel the same, you feel hesitant.

"Ah I need to take my mom for her therapy session Yunho-ya.."

"Oh right, do you want me to accompany you? I can drive you and your mom to the clinic."

"No it's fine, my mom need to train her joints too, so a little walk would be better"

"How about Sunday morning?" you suddenly yawned out loud on purpose.

"I think I need to go now, you should rest too Yunho.. Goodnight"

"Uh okay, goodnight Y/n, sweet dream.. no, dream of me!" your mouth curved upwards, he always managed to make you feel better. With that you put back your phone and fell asleep.

Fortunately you feel better the next morning. You do your routine like always. You're hugging your mom goodbye at the door when you see him in front of your gate. Your mom already back inside and you walk towards the gate.

"Hwa? What brings you here? Oh, do you want to visit my mom?" you asked while opening the gate.

"I want to apologize to you, you don't seemed to pick up nor reply my texts so here I am.." he said while fiddling his fingers uncomfortably.

"Oh my I'm sorry hwa I forgot to call you back, I was so tired yesterday.. You didn't have to come all the way here just for that hwa, I feel bad now" you said with a little chuckle and start to walk to the subway, he's following behind.

"Sorry that I didn't think my words through, I just-"

"It's fine hwa, really. It's fine to have an opinion, it's not your fault that I got upset, everything is uncertain now and I can't blame anyone for it" you cut him, enough hearing his apology since yesterday. You're just too sensitive yesterday.

You turned to face him showing your usual smile. "Stop being apologetic and go help your father at the restaurant, you didn't want to get smacked did you?" you teased him which he reply with a smile displaying his pearly white teeth. You waved at him before going down the subway.

As always, you do your work and try not to be distracted by the incident yesterday. But you still don't know how to tell Yunho, or you shouldn't? You've decided to keep this relationship but your interaction in the company should be as minimum to non-existent, you both gotta pretend to not know each other personally. The problem is that you haven't told him, let alone what his uncle tell you after the 'apology'. You're thinking of hiding the truth so he and his uncle would be getting along still, you don't want Yunho to be more disappointed in his uncle. 

⭐ you really believe that he wants you and you thought the same of him, you can't give up yet, it won't be over until it's over. you need to be ready for what ever might come to you. as long as you're with him, you think that going through anything together will be fine.

luckily you've cool your head down and didn't really mind whatever happened yesterday. you try to forget and keep proud being yourself as you are now. lesson learned. ⭐
