Chapter 70 : Finally together.

Third person point of view

Back to present

Mingyu just kept blinking. " I will even get you the CCTV footage if you want me to ". Wonwoo said after seeing Mingyu's reaction. Mingyu shook his head. " You should just ask me~ Why wouldn't you do that ? " Wonwoo pulled Mingyu by his collar. " Why would you do all this ? Suffering by yourself ? Worrying me and everyone too ".

Wonwoo's voice showed how much it got to him and bothered him too. Mingyu didn't say anything. His eyes softened and the only thing in his mind was the worried face in front of him and the tears which didn't spill yet from Wonwoo's eyes. " Do you know why I didn't want to make it public ? It was because I was worried about you ". Mingyu frowned.

" My last lover in high school was bullied because they were with me. I didn't know until it got serious. I was the one who initiated the break up that time. People felt like anyone who was with me was an eyesore. That they aren't enough and all just because I was too popular. I didn't want any of that to repeat. I never dated anyone after that. My image even here somehow turned out similar to then so I decided I was fine alone. Then you came by and made my heart flutter. How can you just accuse everything on me and then suffer by yourself ? How fair is that ? "

Wonwoo pulled harder at Mingyu's collar. " Jungkook was right. I am selfish indeed. I only wanted you to not go through anything but still ended up making you suffer. I am so sorry for that. But I was never ashamed or anything of that sort. I did want to be with you openly. But you.... "

Wonwoo raised his hand like he wanted to slap Mingyu. Mingyu saw Wonwoo's hand and showed his cheek. " Slap me if you want to ". Wonwoo contemplated but did slap him but not too hard. Mingyu was shocked. He didn't really expect Wonwoo to slap him. He raised his hand to put it to his cheek but Wonwoo stopped him.

He kissed the cheek he just slapped. Mingyu was being projected to shock after shock. Wonwoo kissed him hard and all over the cheek. He then hugged Mingyu and let out the tears he was stopping for a while now. Mingyu hugged Wonwoo back. He rubbed Wonwoo's back in comfort. Wonwoo pulled away after a while and wiped his tears.

" You told me to turn and look back at you. It was you who turned away when I looked your way. So don't do that because I want you to continue to keep looking at me. Only me ". Wonwoo said and sniffled. Mingyu smiled. He held Wonwoo's face and kissed him. Wonwoo kissed back. Mingyu felt a few more tears leak out of Wonwoo's eyes.

They pulled away and Mingyu wiped away Wonwoo's tears. He hugged Wonwoo again. " I am sorry hyung. I will make sure to talk to you first. Also you need not hide anything and tell me openly. I am never going to look down on you. I would love it if you open up more to me. And about me..... you need not worry at all. People know who to mess and not to with. Plus I don't think all of them are like that. So it is going to be fine ".

Wonwoo hugged him back just as tight. Mingyu pulled away and stared at Wonwoo. They slowly moved forward and kissed again. It was different this time. Mingyu enjoyed every single second of it. They both pulled away as they were getting out of breath. Mingyu grinned wider. Everything was cleared up and his heart felt light.

" You are so brave to actually do something like that in public ". Mingyu chuckled teasing Wonwoo. Wonwoo blushed a little and rolled his eyes. " What to do ? This boyfriend of mine is so difficult to please ". Mingyu looked away and cleared his throat. Wonwoo smiled. " I think we missed the first class ". Wonwoo said checking the time.

Mingyu nodded. " Let's go out for the second one ". They picked up their things and walked out together. There was nothing to hide anymore. They were happy walking beside each other. They walked out holding hands and went back to the campus. Some people kept glancing at them but they couldn't care less. They went on their own ways.

When they went to practice in the evening, everyone clapped and cheered. " Took you guys long enough ". Jihoon said and all of them laughed. " Well your friend here is a tough nut to crack hyung ". Mingyu said putting his hand around Wonwoo's shoulder. Wonwoo elbowed Mingyu. Mingyu rubbed his ribs with an 'oof '. It did hurt.

" See ". Mingyu pointed at Wonwoo and Wonwoo glared at him. Mingyu just smiled and went to practice. The others laughed. They all finished practice with an enthusiastic mood. Wonwoo put the things away and looked around. There were always chairs around enough but today somehow was no place for him to sit.

The couch was full and even chairs. He was looking for a place to sit wondering how it turned out like this. Jihoon saw Wonwoo looking around. " Wonwoo-ya ". Wonwoo turned to Jihoon. " Come here ". Jihoon was sitting beside Mingyu on the couch. Mingyu was busy with his phone and didn't notice any of it.

Wonwoo went and stood in front of Jihoon. Jihoon gestured for Wonwoo to come closer. Wonwoo did as he was asked. Jihoon pulled Wonwoo down and then pushed him to fall into Mingyu's lap. When Mingyu felt Wonwoo fall into his lap, he just held him out of instinct so that he doesn't fall down.

" There goes your seat ". All of them burst out laughing. Wonwoo wanted to hit Jihoon. He raised his hand and Jihoon also raised his in defense. Wonwoo lowered his hand glaring at him and gritted his teeth. Jihoon just smiled and looked away. " Hyung, sit comfortably ". Mingyu said with a smirk. Wonwoo tried to get up.

Mingyu put his hand around Wonwoo's waist not letting him get up. Wonwoo sighed. He didn't know why everyone was just ganging up on him like this. He just sat not having any choice. " Shall we all go for dinner together as a celebration ? " Seungcheol asked. " Is sugar daddy Seungcheol going to pay again ? " Jihoon teased.

" NO WAY ! " Seungcheol yelled and all of them laughed. " Sure hyung. Let's go ". Mingyu said turning to Wonwoo and Wonwoo rolled his eyes. Mingyu chuckled and all of them agreed. " Done. I already texted the others ". Seungkwan said. They all went in their own ways and decided that they would meet for dinner.
