Me Without You

Just Good Friends

Meanwhile, Mingyu is worried sick about Jeonghan. It had been a week already since his departure and he couldn't help but feel an emptiness. He lays his head back and closes his eyes as Wonwoo passes by.

"I know that face, Kim Mingyu," Wonwoo pulls up a chair, and sit directly in front of him. "You miss him don't you," He whispers so that no one can hear them.

Mingyu turns pale, wondering how much Wonwoo really knew. "Uh, Coups you mean ?," Mingyu attempted to throw his best friend off. Wonwoo glares at him annoyed, "Stop, I'm you're best friend, you think I don't notice ?," He scolds Mingyu.

Mingyu stands up and leads Wonwoo to the corner of the room. Both curl up next to each other on the floor. "How did you know?," Mingyu asks shyly. Was he that obvious he thinks to himself.

"To be honest at first I thought it was just flirting, but when we started the 'Fear' performances, there were way too many time I thought you two were going to make out on stage," He chuckles quietly, trying to not bring attention to himself.

Mingyu blushes, he could feel the sexual tension every time but he wasn't aware others could feel it too. "He doesn't want me back Wonu," he complains with a bitterness.

" He's your friend Mingyu, don't lose site of that, don't lose him as a friend too," Wonwoo says compassionately. Mingyu feels low, his best friend was right. Jeonghan leaving reminded him of that. Even though his angel couldn't love him back, didn't change the fact that they had a beautiful friendship. He vowed when Jeonghan came back, he would do better and put all things behind.

Jeonghan's Return

Mingyu had so many mixed emotions upon Jeonghan's return. He had no idea how to act around him anymore, how could anything go back to normal?

The Golden Disk Award had arrived and Jeonghan would surprise the fans with his arrival. Mingyu was extra excited but didn't want Jeonghan to know. Jeonghan on the other hand was trying very hard to mend what seemed to be broken.

Both stand directly in front of each other after Mingyu had attempted to avoid just this. Jeonghan looks up at him sweetly but Mingyu's face remain unfazed by his beauty. "You have something there on your lips," He shouts over the noisy venue. Mingyu painfully endures his touch, suppressing his real feelings inside. But Jeonghan remains persistent, he wanted his friend back. He knew it would take effort but Mingyu was worth it.

When the event ends, Wonwoo shoots a disappointed look at Mingyu, silently reminding him of their talk.

Jeonghan is steps ahead so he decides to speed walk up to him. When he is finally parallel to him, he locks arms and says gently," Glad you're back Hannie."

Jeonghan can finally breathe, all he wanted was Mingyu. It didn't matter how, all he knew was that Mingyu made life complete. He would do anything just to keep him close. So he hid his other feelings away and dedicated himself to being a good friend.
