Philophobia (MINGYU FF)

Chapter 22

"What how did you know?!" I said in a surprised tone.

"Well I already knew it a long time ago, I am just waiting for you to say it to me." He exclaimed with a smile on his face.

"How come you can still smile?! I lied to you..I-I am sorry..I didn't-

I was interrupted when Mingyu went beside me then hugged me. That's the time I lost it then started crying. This man beside me is too perfect. Do I deserve him?

"Shhhh... It's ok, I understand what you are going through. You really loved Wonwoo hyung and I know that it is hard to talk about it. You don't need to worry about me." The moment he said those words, I confirmed that he is really selfless.

"I worry about you because I love you Mingyu! I hate that I still can't get over with this pain when you're already beside me.."
I cried harder.

"It's ok just like what I told you..I'm here until you're fully healed."

Flashback

3 years ago..

I came from Wonwoo hyung's house and it was supposed to be a fun day until his father came and ruin it. Hyung just broken up with his long time girlfriend.

Most of us didn't see her yet but the way hyung describes her, she really is an ideal woman.

One member that already saw her was Seungcheol hyung, I remember one day how he compliments her in front of us and Wonwoo is watching. He was hilariously jealous and it's our first time seeing him like that. He is really in love with her.

And the fact that they are forced to break up is very hard I must say. L.A, his girlfriend, doesn't even have a clue why Wonwoo broke up with her.

And that Yena, she's a gold digger. We were in the mall watching them having this forced date since Wonwoo is unwilling and he just did it because it is a way to protect L.A.

I saw her reaction when she saw the ring, she didn't like it and it was very obvious. All of us were disgusted on how she acts. I can't even see a future of Yena and Wonwoo hyung being together sheesh.

After 3 years.. present

I am walking around the park mindlessly finding the necklace with a ring pendant on it that my mother gave to me. It is really important since my mother told me before she died that I must give it to the girl I will marry.

It was the only gift I treasure.

I keep on walking without looking at my surroundings when suddenly I bumped into someone. It's a girl. But since I wanted to look badly for the necklace I just continued walking.

I saw a bench not too far and since I am already exhausted. I sat there. I keep on looking down almost giving up on finding it, but then two girls approached me.

I recognized the other girl which is Seungcheol's sister Andee, she didn't seem to recognize me.

The other girl is the one that caught my attention. She is wearing a red crop top in this chilly weather. Is she crazy?!

Then I saw the girl pointed to her clothes and to my hands and I was very confused on why she is not talking. I look to her clothes and I can see her stomach..I blushed a little bit and then I looked to my hands.

There's a red yarn. Wait!

A red yarn?!

Then I realized that the fabric of her cloth got stuck to the ring in my pinky finger. I think it was when I bumped into her earlier. Now I remember.

I don't know what got into me but seeing her gave me energy to find my necklace. I was revived and I was given more hope.

I told her that I can't buy her a new one right now since I need to find something and suggested her to write her number in the palm of my hands.

The moment she touched me made me shiver and I don't know why. MY HEART BEATED FAST TOO, OH HELL NO!

Then I just walked away wishing to see her again.

Next day is already the day that I'm taking over my father's company. It was sudden but it's ok.

Since I'm not usually going here at the company I got a little bit lost. Then I bumped again into someone and I was shocked to see that it was the same girl.

She keep on staring at me and so I decided to tease her. And she was really cute when she's getting teased.

I think she didn't know who I am yet since she called me a gorilla. I was taken aback really, if my friends are the one who called me that maybe I already punched them but surprisingly, I love it when it comes out of her mouth. I fell in love in first sight.

After that encounter, I keep on sticking myself to her but she has this guard up and I don't know why.

But the moment I saw how Wonwoo hyung looks at her when we are having a get together, that's the time I realized that her name rather sounds familiar.

And that's when it hits me.

She's L.A, Wonwoo hyung's ex.

I saw how they talked to each other earlier and I can feel the tension. I saw the members already having a clue about their relationship but didn't make a comment to not make her feel uncomfortable.

When the girls already went home, it was the time we confronted Wonwoo hyung.

"So she's L.A, your ex?" I asked in a low ton.

"Woah! So you're telling me that your ex is an architect that's why your picky when it comes to your house's design!" Jeonghan said.

"Yeah and you didn't know that Mingyu hyung got help with your ex!"  Dino exclaimed.

"What a good book! HAHAHAHA" Seungkwan said while laughing and all of us didn't laugh along.

"Seungcheol hyung why didn't you tell me?" Wonwoo asked.

Seungcheol just looked down and didn't answer him.

"WHY?!"

Wonwoo then stood up and went to Seungcheol hyung to grab his collar.

"I thought you didn't know where she is! I asked you since in this group you're the only one that saw her! But you lied to me why?!"

"You want to know huh?! She is currently suffering  from a trauma that started when you broke up with her! She was deeply hurt that she became scared of talking to other guys even me! It took months to get her talk to me and thanks to my sister she's getting guided! She was like a sister to me! And I know that if I tell you where she is you will go see her and her condition will worsen!" Seungcheol shouted on the top of his lungs that made the room quiet.

"B-but how come she is comfortable with M-Mingyu?" His voice cracked.

"It's because she already have feelings for me." I said while staring into him intensely.

"You don't like her right? Then I will grab this chance-

"Yes I don't like her but.....I love her." I said making Wonwoo quiet.

"In books, characters like me most of the time is giving the girl up to his friend. But I'm different, I will not give her up. I will fight for her. You can try, but don't expect too much. She loves me now." I added.

"You know I won't give up now that I found her right?" Wonwoo said.

"I know...may the real man she loves wins." I said then walked out of the house
