CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE he loves me, doesn't he?
⇨ warning ; abusive / toxic relationship ⇦
—
2 YEARS AGO, 22:58
(m/n) sat in the living room, knees curled up to his chest as his eyes stayed glued onto the tv screen. he bit his lip, glancing at the clock before returning his gaze to the show that was playing; trying to distract himself.
minjun should be home any minute now.
while that thought should bring happiness and excitement in him, it didn't. he should be happy that his boyfriend will be back soon, then he'll give him cuddles and love and kisses. maybe they'll watch a movie together and cuddle up to each other until (m/n) falls asleep against his chest, then minjun will have to carry him to their room.
but he wasn't happy. if anything, he was nervous.
he was going to tell minjun to stop smoking.
he'd do it, right? (m/n) thought, hands shaking slightly. he loves me. he'll do it for me, won't he?
as (m/n) was getting lost in his own thoughts, the front door opened; and a tall male hurriedly walked inside, desperate to get away from the cold. he sighed, before noticing (m/n) sitting cutely on the sofa with his eyes on the tv.
"(m/n)," minjun called softly, smiling when the (h/c) haired male jumped slightly before turning to look at him. "hey."
(m/n) bit his lower lip. "hi." he stood up from the sofa and walked over to his boyfriend, hands still shaking from nervousness. as he got closer, he could smell the strong scent of nicotine coming from minjun and grimaced.
"minjun-ah," the (h/c) haired male started, twiddling his fingers. he tensed up when minjun hummed, walking past him to put his coat on the kitchen island. "i need to tell you something."
minjun tensed up, too, hearing the smaller's serious tone. he furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at (m/n) worriedly. "what is it, baby?"
"i was wondering..." (m/n) took a deep breath, gathering all the courage in him to finally meet eyes with minjun. "can you... can you stop smoking?"
the (h/c) haired male let out a quiet gasp when minjun's demeanor completely changed; the loving and caring aura from earlier disappearing into a cold one. he took a step back as minjun sent a glare towards him.
"(m/n), we are not having this talk."
(m/n) frowned, he stood in his place as minjun walked closer to him. "but-"
minjun wrapped his hand around (m/n)'s throat, slamming the smaller male onto the wall. he grit his teeth as (m/n) let out a choked whimper, squirming in an attempt to get away, but he only tightened his grip.
"it's none of your fucking business, got it?" minjun snarled. "it's my life. don't stick your nose in someone else's habits."
(m/n) was gasping for air, tears gathering in his eyes. this wasn't the minjun he knew, the minjun who always comforted him when he was down, the minjun who loved to cuddle him under any circumstances.
the minjun who would never raise his voice at (m/n).
"why the fuck do you care, anyway?" minjun spat, before finally dropping (m/n) onto the ground. he clicked his tongue, grabbing his coat and leaving (m/n) there, still gasping for air.
as (m/n) heard the front door slam close, he let his tears stream down his cheeks.
"i-i care..." he whispered in a broken voice, closing his eyes.
"i care... because i love you."
