Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 15: Back Home

Hana's POV:
___________________________
Lee Minho, my ex, whom I never wanted to see again was standing right in front of me...

"this has to be a nightmare" I thought to myself.

His signature smile spread across his face. It reminded me of so many things I had long tried to forget about.

I felt like screaming, but I couldn't move.

Fear froze my body.

"what is he doing here?!" I kept thinking.

He graduated. He left. Everyone said he was long gone. Then why is he right in front of me?

"I apologize if I startled you, you probably... weren't expecting to see me..." Minho said as he walked closer to me.

Like hell I was, why'd I ever expect to see you.

He reached down and picked my phone up from the ground, and cleaned it off.

"Here..." Minho said as he handed me my phone.

I hesitated.

I slowly raised my hand as it trembled to grab my phone.

I put it in my skirt pocket as I slowly looked up at him.

He nervously chuckled.

"What's up with that reaction... ?" Minho said as he fidgeted with his coat sleeve.

What's up with his reaction? He's making it seem as if nothing happened.

What is he trying to do... ?

"What-" I paused myself to think before speaking, "What do you want?"

He suddenly shifted from nervous to butt hurt.

This wasn't new to me. It, sadly, was very familiar. The way he'd play with his own emotions to catch you off guard, this shouldn't feel normal... but it is.

"I... was walking and I saw someone I thought was you..." Minho started as he slowly looked down at his feet.

"I was going to just... walk away. But I wanted to make sure my eyes weren't playing any tricks..." Minho continued.
"W-What are you doing here so late?"

Minho looked back up at me.

"I bought some things, and I decided to sit down." I blandly said, I tried my hardest not to show any emotion.

"H-How's Soyeon?" Minho stuttered out.

It surprised me he had remembered about Soyeon. Although they both were so close and sibling-like, he did drop everything and leave without saying a word, not even to Soyeon.

Naturally, she grew resentful, and that resentment became worse as time went on. He didn't even bother calling her once- well, that I don't know for certain, Soyeon doesn't tell me everything...

I'm sure she feels as though she wasn't anything to him, makes sense if it was so easy for him to leave everything behind.

That's the only thing about the two of them that gets my blood boiling.

He can treat me like crap, and I'll retaliate and grow, but to just throw away Soyeon like that, made me furious.

I tend to baby Soyeon because she's younger, but no one should ever have to go through what I did.

I wanted to slap him and say so many things- but I had to retain myself.

I bit the inside of my cheek before responding, "She seems to be doing better- actually, she got taller"
