Minji's Voice - Bbangsaz

Chapter 21

Warning: Smut 18+ 🔥

Hanni's POV

At eight o'clock at night, the rain was falling heavily, the thunder had begun to rumble, and the lightning zigzagged across the sky.

I sat curled up in my room, Milly on my lap. The feeling of that night came flooding back to me as I sat there. Now I handled it better, but I knew that that loud roar that sounded to me would always remind me of feeling alone and helpless.

I had several candles lit around my room in case the power went out. Normally, the candles provided a romantic and relaxing atmosphere, but tonight the shadows they cast on the walls around me made the storm even more terrifying, more unnerving.

I heard a soft knock on my door and I was startled. Milly pricked up her ears and barked softly.

Who the hell was that?

My heart rate quickened as I slowly got out of bed and tiptoed down the hallway, Milly hot on my heels.

I went to the front window and peeked through the curtain where I could barely see my porch in front of the door. Minji was standing there, looking at me while I looked at her. My heart began to pound when I saw her soaked form, her jeans and her white t-shirt clinging to her body. Oh God, she must have walked here in the downpour.

I only hesitated for a second before running to the door and flinging it open to the sound of rain hitting the ground in front of my porch. A loud clap of thunder shook the cabin and I jumped slightly, causing Minji to take a step towards me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

You don't like storms , she replied.

I tilted my head, confused.

Did you walk a mile in the rain because I don't like thunderstorms?

She hesitated for a second, looking away, frowning slightly. Then she looked at me and said simply, yes.

She paused, her expression pained. I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I figured if I sat on your porch, you wouldn't freak out. You wouldn't be alone.

Oh God.

I couldn't help it, I pouted and started crying.

Minji took a tentative step towards me and silently asked my permission while looking into my eyes. I nodded, acknowledging her unspoken question, and she took me into her arms and held me close to her.

I raised my arms around her and buried my face in her neck, breathing in her clean, rainy scent. I cried silently in her arms for several minutes as she held me, rubbing circles on my back, her warm breath in my ear, her soaked clothes soaking me too. During those minutes, I did not notice the thunder and the rain that fell noisily around us; During those minutes, it was just her and me, and nothing more.

I wasn't sure what to think. I just knew that this felt good. She was still my best friend, my sweet, silent girl, and I had missed her so much it hurt. She had hurt me and yet I held on to her like my life depended on it.

After a few minutes, I leaned back, looking at her face. She looked at me with such sweetness and tenderness that my heart clenched tightly in my chest.

"You hurt me," I said, backing away.

Sadness filled her expression and she nodded, acknowledging that she knew she had done it.

Let me fix it, she said, please. I want to fix it. What can I do?

I breathed, letting my shoulders slump. You had sex with another woman, Minji.
