lie again || hoshi ff

19: bright after rain

the next day, you woke up at around noon. as you were drinking your coffee, the thought of Soonyoung kissing you popped in your head.

"wait.. did "that" just actually happened.. there's no way he actually likes me. right?", you asked yourself.

and then it hit you.

"it did. he actually kissed me."

at this point you're just questioning as to how or what just happened. while you were lost in your thoughts, someone was calling you.

(on the phone)
: GYU. IT'S YOU.

Mingyu: AERA, IT'S ME.

: i was just about to text you.

Mingyu: why? is everything okay?

: please tell me you're free.

Mingyu: /he chuckled, i'm on my way.

: youuuu have no idea how much i need someone to talk to right now.. thank you.

Mingyu: that's why i actually called you. you didn't get into details about the whole "Hoshi" situation yesterday.

: actually, that's what i want to talk to you about. drive safe Gyu. /then you hang up

30 minutes has passed by, then you hear someone knocking on the door.

Mingyu: YOW LEE AERA, WHERE YOU AT?

: /you ran out from your bedroom, GYU!

Mingyu: okay so what happened?

: you first boi. i didn't even get to know the details as to how you and unnie ended up together???

Mingyu: bro... even i was thinking about that.

you both laughed;

Mingyu: okay so here's the story, remember how me and noona were roommates when we went on a mini vacation?

: thank the heavens you ended up having to share a bedroom with her. /you laughed, and then?

Mingyu: actually, even before the trip started me and her were talking more often than before. then, miraculously we were roommates. which for some odd reason made us grew closer? i thought we'd be awkward but no. it was the EXACT opposite.

: bitch— you're here living a fairy-tale and here i am...

Mingyu: /he laughed, pabo. so anyway, remember on the second day we had a party outside then Coups hyung decided that we should drink? and then, she got drunk and told me she likes me.

: hOLD UP???? WHY DIDN'T I EVEN HAD A FEELING THAT SHE LIKES YOU BACK?

Mingyu: you tell me. /he chuckled, and then i just bluntly told her that i like her too. then she started crying. she was like "you can't do this to Aera".

your eyes widened. you and Mingyu looked at each other;

: bOI I'M SO CONFUSED? WHAT?—

Mingyu: I SAID THE SAME EXACT THING. i was like, "what are you talking about?" she thought you and i were a "thing". and that's why she never had the guts to tell me she likes me.

: if only you had the guts to tell her that you liked her earlier you would've been together all this time. 

Mingyu: i know... kinda regret that i had this fear of rejection.
