touch (meanie)

22.

the winter break was over, he had had a great time hanging out with his friends and ignoring his mark, but that day, he had to go back to school, back to his soulmate

he didn't have anything against minghao, in fact he thought he was a very nice guy, but he couldn't imagine himself spending the rest of his life with him

he was walking towards his classroom when he saw junhui and felt a pang on his chest, if depression had a face, it would definitely look like him

he looked miserable, his face didn't seem like it had life in it because it looked extremely swollen, probably because of all the crying and the sleepless nights, he was walking slowly and painfully, his hair was messed up and his uniform was wrinkled

he wanted to say something, to comfort him, because even though he was completely aware it wasn't his fault, he felt bad, but, what would he say? "hey, i'm sorry destiny broke your heart and minghao will eventually stay with me" no, that was stupid

so he walked past him quickly hoping he wouldn't see him, he would try to talk to him later, or probably just ask jihoon, he wanted to know if he needed anything

after his first class, he started looking for minghao in the main cafeteria, that was where most students spent their break

however, he didn't find him there and sighed when the bell rang meaning he needed to head back to his class

the next break the same thing happened, he even looked in different places but didn't find him, until it suddenly came to him

minghao and his friend were calm, they would probably be in the art cafeteria, it was a small cafeteria that didn't have many options to eat but was always very lonely and peaceful

when he got there, he smiled, they were sitting in a couch facing each other, he didn't know how he didn't think of it before, of course they would be there

but what made him giggle was that wonwoo was showing minghao some pictures of cats making funny faces and was trying to imitate their expressions

he realized he was staring when wonwoo felt his gaze and turned to look at him immediately becoming expressionless as always

minghao noticed he became serious and turned around to see him and covered his mouth with his hand trying not to laugh

"that was embarrassing" he heard the younger whisper

he walked over to them with a puppy smile "hi, how are you guys feeling today?" he asked politely

wonwoo was blushing from embarrassment, his soulmate/crush had just seen him make ugly expressions "do you need anything?" he asked coldly

mingyu caressed his mark and sat down beside wonwoo immediately receiving a surprise when for the first time, the older didn't flinch when he came closer "uhh, actually i wanted to talk to my soulmate" he revealed nervously

the other two widened their eyes "WHAT? you- you know?" wonwoo asked feeling his soul leave his body

the taller nodded "wait- what? minghao? you knew? for how long? where's your mark?" he asked and looked at him, although it did make some sense for mingyu that minghao knew he was his soulmate because the time he had approached him and wonwoo, they had both been a little nervous to see him

"uhhhh" the younger didn't know what to reply

wonwoo looked at him with pleading eyes as if he was begging "just go with it"

minghao pressed his lips together and then smiled awkwardly "my mark? umm i- i can't show it to you" he said

"why?" mingyu asked sadly

"it's in his dick" wonwoo blurted out and then froze, minghao looked at him weirdly and tried his best not to laugh but mouthed "what the fuck?"

"he's kidding, he just has a very peculiar sense of humor" minghao chuckled awkwardly making wonwoo cringe and cover his face discretely while blushing even more

they all laughed awkwardly "i was just wondering if you wanted to go out some time" mingyu gulped "i mean only if you'd like to of course, because i know the whole junhui situation and i wouldn't like to pressure you, just get to know you" he said looking at the younger and then looked at his friend who he had noticed was staring

the weird thing was that wonwoo was staring directly into his mark, but when he realized he had noticed they made eye contact for a tiny second

wonwoo immediately turned away but mingyu's world stopped for a few seconds, he had felt something weird in his heart, maybe he just found him intimidating, that had to be it, but everything happened in just two seconds

minghao opened his mouth to speak and looked at wonwoo, the older just nodded quickly "yeah- uh of course, um no don't worry about junhui, we're just, i'm over that" he said nervously

mingyu forced himself to smile "well, you can give me your number and i can text you so we can agree on a date and place" he said

minghao puffed his cheeks and shrugged "yeah, i guess" he said and scratched his neck uncomfortably

"okay" mingyu cringed and gave him his phone, the younger typed in his number and flashed him a small fake smile

"see you" he said

"see you" mingyu replied and started walking away completely disappointed
