"Between Our Keys And Strings" ☑️ [2Min ❤️]

13.

**************

He scribbled something in his notebook — a small list:

Apologize

Tell him why I left

Tell him I love him

Ask if it’s too late

He stood up, shaky but determined.
It was time to stop hiding.

Seungmin was going home.

*************

Minho's pov.

Minho stared at his phone screen, thumbs frozen over the keyboard. Another unsent message. Another silence.

“Are you okay?” he typed, then deleted it. Again.
What if he’s gone for good? What if I pushed him too hard?

But his gut said no. Seungmin wasn’t gone. Just lost.

*******************

The door of the Kim household was being knocked at early 8 am.

Seungmin's mother got confused of who was visiting at this time.

"Sunoo –yah check who is on the door." She yelled.

"Coming!" Sunoo screamed, pulling down his shirt.

Sunoo came downstairs with his messy hair.

He quickly rushed to the main door and opened it.

"Hi D–Ddeonu" Seungmin said awkwardly, rubbing his nape.

"Hyung you are finally back. We missed you" Sunoo said as he took Seungmin's bag before hugging him.

"Yeah" Seungmin let out an awkward laugh.

"Minnie you are home." His mother called from behind, with spatula in her hand." Finally you are freed from your work. Wash up and eat hot served food. Sunoo–yah help me."

——————————————————

"You are messed up Seungmin" Seungmin said in his mind as he washed his face.

He took the napkin from the drawer the wiped his face.

At dining table.

"Finally I can breadth freely after seeing you" Seungmin’s mother spoke while serving them both.

"Yeah – work was q-quiet busy" Seungmin said nervously, taking a sip of his tea.

"You were never this busy earlier. My baby is grown." She said caressing his hair.

Seungmin smiled, leaning in her touch.

He then started eating his breakfast. That's when his eyes laid on his brother —— who was giving him —we—need—to—talk—look. He just chuckled nervously, shoving the milk bread in his mouth.

——————————————————

In their room.

Seungmin was about to rest his back against the bed when Sunoo entered, giving him curious look.

Seungmin smiled at first, but when Sunoo was still showing that look he sighed— There's no exit now I guess.

Sunoo sat in front of him."Now tell me!"

Then Seungmin told him everything, in detail.

"So that's why Minho hyung was looking like a abandoned cat."

Seungmin looked down.

"Hyung do you even know how he looked. I was very worried about him. He looks so pale and weak than his normal self. He is d*mn down for you Hyung"

"I am scared." Seungmin bit his lower lip, it almost bled. "Someone like him doesn't deserve someone like me. H–He is day and I am night. He is like brighteness and I am like the shadow creeping behind.'' His voice broke.
''I am scared I will ruin him" Seungmin finally confessed. "Also the people in our house are against things like this. They only think, girls and boys are meant to be couple. They will trouble Eomma with taunts."The corner of his eyes where burning.

Sunoo sighed, looking at his brother with pure admiration, care and embraced him.

And that when something cracked.

Tears started flowing endlessly, damping Sunoo's cream coloured sweater.

After Seungmin's sobs turned into soft sniffs, Sunoo gave him some water.

"Hyung I am not as matured and experienced as you but I and Mom are going to support you. Don't think about the people in our house.''

*****************

Few days later.

The night rain was heavy and unexpected.

Minho stood under some shady place.

He cursed under his breath.He is not a person who is —in—good—terms— with rain.

"Days are not going so well to be troubled by this rain now"

Wow finally rains. It paid late visit but still. First rain is heaven. But I need to take shelter. You have been enough soaked Seungmin.

Seungmin saw a nearest shade.

"Finally!" Seungmin said loudly.
He stood there, washing off the water from his body.

Minho turned, his thoughts interrupted by a voice.
And the next thing left him stunned.

Seungmin;was too busy in his own mess to notice the surrounding.

"S—Seungmin!??"

Seungmin who was busy handling his bags, turned and took a look who had called him.

''Yes!?'' he smiled and replied, turning to look —
Only for the smile to vanish as his  eyes met with the person.

The ending of story is near.

Happy Reading ❤️.
