touch (meanie)

38.

they parted their lips away from each other with flustered expressions and wonwoo stared at him ecstatically "that was- lovely" he said

mingyu smiled completely elated and nodded before licking his lips "i can still taste the ice cream" he giggled

"would you believe me if i told you that was my first kiss?" the older asked faint-heartedly

"really?" the taller asked amazed "you're really lucky you got it with your soulmate then, right?" he asked

"it was actually on purpose, i always saved it for my soulmate because i was afraid that if i didn't i would regret it, and i'm happy i did, it was just- it was amazing" he grinned

"i wish i had thought of that before" mingyu smiled sadly "that would've been a breathtaking first kiss" he said feeling his smile fade away slightly as an unpleasant memory suddenly rushed through his head

"thank you" wonwoo interrupted his thoughts and made him smile widely again "the reason i never felt ready to tell you is because i didn't feel enough" he started

mingyu frowned but the older continued "that's it, it's not complicated, i just felt that if i ever dated you then everyone would pity you for having such a boring soulmate, and i didn't want you to be dissatisfied when you realized that it doesn't get any better with me" he said sadly "because my head was always filled with negative questions of how things would go if we ever became a couple, it was too much pressure to live up to your expectations"

"expectations?" mingyu scoffed "what do you think i was expecting? you're more than anything i could've ever imagined, it's seriously stressing me out how little credit you give yourself" he said

wonwoo was about to say something but the other started talking again "you're intelligent, you're sweet, you're polite, you're humble, you're handsome, you're adorable and radiate softness, i really can't understand what you think you don't have or what makes you believe i'm better than you in any way, who could spend hours tutoring students without expecting anything in exchange? who else could stay up all night carefully making a studying guide for someone out of pure emphaty? spoiler alert, the answer is jeon wonwoo, i have never met someone like you and don't think i ever will" mingyu blurted out a little aggressively and then softened his tone

"i'm sorry, i just want to make you understand how stupendously jaw-dropping you are, okay?" he asked and lightly grabbed his cheek with his hand to caress it

"i'll try harder to love myself" the older sighed "i really have tried but it was no use, however, now that i have you flooding me with compliments it might be a little easier" he smiled lightly

"i already warned you, i won't stop until you love yourself more than cats" mingyu giggled

"cats?" wonwoo raised an eyebrow "how do you know about that?" he asked impressed

"i saw you showing minghao some cat pictures and imitating their facial expressions, plus he told me about your obsession towards them, when we didn't have anything to talk about, we talked about you and i learned a lot of cute jeon wonwoo fun facts" he explained

wonwoo blushed "that's embarrassing" he said shyly

"in my eyes, it's cute, and now that i think of it, minghao might've only said very good things about you on purpose" he giggled "but hey, now that i know some facts about you, it's your turn to laugh" he said

the older looked at him with a curious expression so mingyu continued talking "when minghao told me he was my soulmate, i got nervous and didn't want to come out immediately to him, so i asked my friends some answers to questions i should know the answer to just to seem sexual" he giggled

"that's cuter than my love towards cats" wonwoo giggled softly "but i kind of already imagined that was what happened, minghao told me you mentioned sex and tried to seem casual about it but that you sounded unnatural and awkward" he started laughing

"you see? now that is embarrassing" mingyu covered his face and started laughing too before realizing they were in front of his house "oh, i think we walked all the way to my house without realizing" he chuckled

"i was just following you" wonwoo giggled

"i guess this is a goodbye until monday then?" mingyu asked and pushed his hair backwards

"i guess it is" wonwoo said as he smiled sweetly and then giggled at the view of the taller with a painful expression and grabbing his chest on top of his heart to fake it ached

"your smile is really pretty, i'm glad i got to see it a lot today" mingyu complimented and then bit his lip "i really am very satisfied because this was extraordinary, although i have to admit, at first, i was afraid it would turn out as it turned out with minghao" he chortled

"i'm glad" the older flashed him a chirpy grin and they both said their goodbyes as they walked over to his front door, but when he was about to knock, the door flew open revealing his mom

"kim mingyu, you're past curf-" she stopped when she saw wonwoo and smiled "oh dear, is this handsome young man wonwoo?" she asked cheerily

"moooom" mingyu whined in embarrassment "don't scare him off"

"don't worry dear, i won't, now both of you take off your shoes, come inside and let's have dinner" she said sending wonwoo and mingyu into a  swivet
