Mingyu Shorts

There For You

Are you sure you want to hang out here, y/n," Minghao asks for the fourth time since you stepped in the apartment 5 minutes ago. You and Mingyu had broken up about two weeks prior and so the hurt had just started to stop.

"Hao, I'll be fine," you smile, "plus he isn't even here right now and you've been meeting me literally everywhere to avoid this place. I can't let you keep wasting money on ubers."

"Okay," he concedes, "but if you get even the slightest bit uncomfortable let me know."

You roll your eyes and plop down on the couch, "I know, I know."

"So what homework am I helping you with again?"

"Well," he begins as he pulls his laptop from his backpack and sets it on the coffee table in front of the couch, he sits beside you and opens the device, "you are going to be my model and I'm going to take a fuck ton of pictures of you."

He slide the laptop towards you and you lean forward to get a better look, "Those are the instructions."

"You're taking pictures of me and you let me come over in this," your eyes wide as you gesture to your over-sized sweatpants and hand cut crop-top.

"I happen to think you look fine just as you are," he huffs.

Your eyes roll automatically and you grin widely, "Normally I'd fight you on that, but you're the fashionista photographer, plus you're not really known for lying about how you really feel," he chuckles and you two playfully nudge each other, "so I'll believe you just this once!"

"Good," he stands, holding out his hands for you to grab, "now we-" as he pulls you up, the front door opens and both of your heads shoot towards it.

Mingyu laughs, "Yea I think my roommate is out right now."

A girl giggles and your body goes rigid. When Mingyu and the girl notice you and Minghao, the tension becomes palpable.

"Or not," Mingyu says dryly as he looks from your shocked faces, to your hands that were holding one another.

You don't fail to notice his arm wrapped around her waist or her thin and petite body, how he towers over her. You can't help but make a mental note that he went right for a girl who looked nothing like you. Before you can say or think anything else, your body is tugged forward by Minghao.

He pulls you against his chest protectively, "别担心，我们正要离开。"

"당신이 원하는 게 뭐든간에하세요." Mingyu replies.

The four of you brush past each other as Mingyu and the girl head towards his room and you and Minghao head for the front door. When they are gone, Minghao kneels down and helps you put on your shoes, while tears rush down your face.

"Listen Ms. English Major, I'll say this to you in a way that you'll understand," his voice stern, he ties your shoe and stands, lifting your head so that your eyes meet, "You can't make homes out of human beings, someone should have already told you that."

"Warsan Shire," you sniffle.

"Yea, she knew what she was talking about when she wrote that," he replies, a soft smile forming on his lips, his rough thumb rubbing a tear away from your cheek.

You nod and watch him walk away to grab his backpack and camera, before he is back at your side. Grabbing your hand he walks out of the apartment, locking it behind you, relishing in his ability to be the one who gets to be there for you.
