Race Against Time prt. 3

I wake up and realize that Mingi is still beside me. He's breathing so peacefully, his chest rising and falling with every breath he takes. I reach for his arm that is resting on my hip and carefully move it off to get out of bed.

I use the washroom before walking to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. While I'm cooking, I can't seem to take my mind off of Mingi.

He's still acting so different. He seems sad now.. Distant. His smile isn't the same, his voice has changed. The way he acts.. He isn't the same Mingi. Something is bothering him.

After I finished ish preparing g breakfast and setting the table, I walk to Junyoung's room and knock on the door. "Oppa, come out. I made breakfast." The word 'oppa' makes me shiver in disgust. I know he's older than I, but some females overuse the word and it has become quite awkward.

I hear shuffling around in his room and take that as the hint that he's awake. I then go to my room to wake Mingi. As I walk in, I see he isn't in my bed but my bathroom door is open and sniffles could be heard. Wondering if he's okay, I walk into my room and to the bathroom. I feel wrong by doing g it, but I peek in on him. He doesn't seem to see me as he keeps crying.

He's standing there shirtless looking at himself in the mirror. His scar is clearly still visible, not showing any sign of fading away. He seems disgusted with himself.

"She'll never love someone who looks like this.. I'm just stupid. And who even believes in soulmates? I guess I'm still a child that believes in true love." he whispers which is just audible enough for me to make out his words.

At this I find myself walking into the bathroom. He turns to me in surprise. "Mingi.. It's okay. I'm sure whoever you're talking about will still love you. You look perfect." I pause and walk to him, placing my hand in his cheek wiping his tears away. He nuzzles into my hand.

"True love does exist. You're not stupid. I believe in soulmates as well. I believe in true love. And I believe true love sees through everything and straight to the heart. And your heart is one of the purest and beautiful hearts I've ever encountered." I say to him, looking into his eyes now. He returns my gaze.

I can't tell what he's thinking as he stares into my eyes. His face unreadable. Before I know it, we're both leaning in to kiss each other.

Oh my goodness, his lips are so soft and just feel so right. I've had no idea just how much I've wanted this until it happened. Mingi seems to have been longing for this moment as well.

We kiss for a bit before breaking off to catch out or breaths. I rest my head on his chest so I could hear his heartbeat. My hand traces over his scar. His beautiful scar. I take in his scent before a smile rises to my face. I look up at him and see he's smiling now as well.

A real smile. Oh my god he's smiling! I can't help but to throw my arms around him in a hug. He hugs me back, spinning me around causing me to giggle. My dad used to do this when we hugged.

"I love you" I hear him say happily. I smile widely and look up at him. "I love you too" I respond.

"YESSSS FINALLY!!" someone screams as footsteps are heard like he's jumping around. "Junyoung!" I squeal and start chasing him through the house. He's laughing and running away from me jumping over little things on the floor.

Mingi P.O.V

I can't believe she loves me as well. Maybe.. Just maybe, she's the one. And even if she isn't.. Even if y/n isn't my soulmate, at least I'll spend the last bit of time I have left in my life with the person I love and cherish the most. At least I'll die happy.

Okay, I did plan for this to be the last part. But... Just one more part? Hang in with me please.

Mingi had his wisdom teeth pulled through his break. He's so strong. ❤ He and Hongjoong speak frequently when they have the extra time. This is just so heartwarming to know that Joong checks on him.
