ONE MONTH LATER:
[It's been one month since Joshua broke up with Mingyu. He feel bad about making Joshua hurt but it has to be done if not now then maybe later. After a week Mingyu decide to get back to his normal life. He is still living in the same house. Joshua didn't come back to take his things from his house. Mingyu never go to visit university again. He wanted to give Joshua some space before meeting again. Their life was finally getting back on line. But there is something Mingyu still need to do.]
Gyu:
Where is he?
[He was standing in front of the same university looking for someone but with different situation. He is looking for Joshua for a week now. He daily came and stop by in front of university but he never saw him again.]
Gyu:
What should i do?
[Mingyu was talking to himself when he bump into a boy.]
Gyu:
Sorry.
?:
It's okay kid. Are you looking for someone?
Gyu:
Yeah i want to see someone but i don't know where this person is.
?:
Tell me about them maybe i can help you.
Gyu:
His name is Joshua. He is a student in Department of Business Administration.
?:
Joshua? Ohhhh... you mean Hong Jisoo that foregin guy?
[Mingyu chuckled these words suddenly remind him of Wonwoo.]
Gyu:
Yeah. Did you know where i can find him?
[The boy chuckled and speak.]
?:
You are one weird guy. Well i think you can ask the management they can give you detail about him. Go straight and then turn left the first room is management office.
Gyu:
Thanks.
[Mingyu quickly run toward when he saw someone familiar.]
Gyu:
Hyung?
Wonu:
Oh Gyu? What are you doing here?
Gyu:
I .... i'm actually looking for someone.
Wonu:
It's Joshua right?
Gyu:
Yeah.
Wonu:
I think he is Yesung's friend. Wait.
[Wonwoo call and talk to the person.]
Wonu:
Thanks Bye! Gyu he didn't come today. He take leave for a month because of his family issue.
Gyu:
I need to talk to him.
[Wonwoo look at him in confusion and speak.]
Wonu:
What's gotten into you? You seem quite panicked.
Gyu:
I .....
[Mingyu hang his head low.]
Wonu:
You like him?
[Mingyu look at him in shock.]
Gyu:
I...
Wonu:
Looks like i hit the bull bye?
[Mingyu furrowed his eyebrows and sigh.]
Gyu:
It's not that. Can we talk somewhere more private?
[Wonwoo look at him in confusion and slowly nod.]
Wonu:
I work in a cafe near here. My shift is going to start soon let's go there.
[Mingyu faintly smile and nod. They arrived at cafe Mingyu look around him awkwardly when Wonwoo speak.]
Wonu:
Are you okay? You seem quite nervouse.
Gyu:
I and Joshua hyung....... we were dating until a month ago.
[Wonwoo eyes open wide in shock while Mingyu was nervously looking at him to say something.]
Wonu:
But when we first met you said you are his friend.
Gyu:
I didn't want to share something so personal with someone who i just met.
Wonu:
Understandable. Why did you guys break up?
Gyu:
He thought i am cheating on him.
Wonu:
What?
[Mingyu nod and continue to speak.]
Gyu:
I wasn't though. Other than that he heard me talking to my friend about me not falling for him even after one year. I guess he got upset. He is kind person so it hurt him that i didn't discuss it with him and talk about it to some friend.
Wonu:
I can understand how he feels. He love you right?
[Mingyu nod again and Wonwoo speak again.]
Wonu:
It's not about talking to a friend even if you talk about it to your family he was still gonna get angry. If you didn't feel the same then you should've confront him rather than going on like this. It sounds like you used him and take his kindness and love as his weakness.
Gyu:
But i was just concerned because i didn't want to hurt him.
Wonu:
But he was hurting anyway.
Gyu:
I know.
Wonu:
If you guys break up then why do you want to meet him?
Gyu:
He is my friend before we start dating. It is natural to still be concerned whether he is doing fine or not.
[Wonwoo smile and nod.]
Wonu:
Then you should met him and talk to him. My shift is going to start i have to go now. Order something it's on me.
Gyu:
No it's fine. I better go now. If you saw him in university again then contact me.
[Mingyu said writing down his number on paper and give it to Wonwoo.]
Wonu:
Okayyy?
Gyu:
There is something i want to talk to you but i'll save it for other time when we meet on purpose and not by accident.
[Mingyu smile and left the cafe while look at the paper in his hand. Mingyu draw two little hearts with his number. A shy smile creep out on Wonwoo's face he take a photo of the heart and post it on his social media.]
AFTER SOME MONTHS:
Gyu:
I'm going to be a university student in some days. Time flies so quick. It feel like yesterday when i come here.
Wonu:
What are you thinking?
Gyu:
Nothing i am gonna be a university student in some days so i am just excited.
Wonu:
You'll turn 18 in somedays. Right?
[Mingyu excitedly nod while they were walking in a park when Mingyu got a call and Wonwoo stopped in the midway leaning on one of the pillar of sitting area looking at Mingyu's talking to someone.]
Wonu:
Did you get in contact with Joshua?
Gyu:
Yeah thanks to you i finally sort it out. He said we can still be friends. I am happy i didn't lose a friend because of our relationship.
[Wonwoo faintly smile and nod.]
Gyu:
Are you planning to go somewhere?
[Mingyu said pointed toward the camera in Wonwoo's neck.]
Wonu:
Yeah i just feel like taking my mind off from few things. This helps me alot in past.
[Wonwoo said raising his camera. Mingyu nod when lean closer to Wonwoo.]
Wonu:
Wh-what are you doing?
Gyu:
Don't move.
[Mingyu said cupping Wonwoo's face that make his face flused he was nervous. What was he doing? Mingyu smile and wipe something off from Wonwoo's face.]
Gyu:
Done. You got some dust on your face. Now it's gone. Dust doesn't look good on such handsome face. My hands are made for caressing this face.
[Mingyu said still looking in Wonwoo's eyes caressing his face. Wonwoo quickly push Mingyu and walk pass him with face as red as tomato. Mingyu chuckled in response and followed him.]
Gyu:
Let me come with you. I want to see how this thing work.
[Mingyu said pointing toward Wonwoo's camera.]
Wonu:
You never used a camera before?
Gyu:
I didn't even had a cell phone few weeks ago.
Wonu:
Woah! Fine you can come but if you disturb me again i will kick you.
Gyu:
Deal.
....................................................................................
Wonu:
What happened?
Gyu:
I am just nervous.
Wonu:
Wasn't this university your dream university?
Gyu:
It was because i knew Joshua hyung will be here with me. But he all of sudden drop out. He take revenge for not confronting him about my feelings.
[Wonwoo smile disappear.]
Wonu:
You sure you don't feel anything for him? Since the day we met all we talk about is Joshua.
Gyu:
Come on ..... i always spend my time with him so it becomes habit to talk about him because i have so many memories with him.
[Wonwoo slowly nod still looking toward him with so many emotions in his eyes.Mingyu start to pack his stuff and Wonwoo came to help Mingyu to tidy his room as he is moving into dorms soon.]
Wonu:
Don't worry i'll be there for you.
[Mingyu smile and sit beside Wonwoo leaning his head on his shoulder.]
Gyu:
Thanks actually if it wasn't for you i don't know how i face all of this all alone. My life changes so fast that i myself don't know how to manage everthing.
Wonu:
It'll be fine once you'll make new friends then it won't feel that horrible. Now get up you still have things to pack.
Gyu:
Fine fine.
[Mingyu said and get up when a mischevious smile appear on his lips. He bend toward Wonwoo and give a peck on his cheek.]
Gyu:

[Mingyu left Wonwoo who was still in shocked what just happened while Mingyu just chuckled in response. This side of Wonwoo is interesting for Mingyu. He want to take one step at time so he can make Wonwoo fall for him but whenever they meet Mingyu always got way too excited and do something out of ordinary.]

[It has been some days since Mingyu start his university life and as predicted he got so many friends that his nervousness disappear withing half hour after entering the university on his first day. Wonwoo came to check up on him once of twice but then he stopped after seeing Mingyu getting along with others. He was happy that Mingyu is not nervous anymore.]
Wonu:
You are havig fun in your department. I heard you are getting all the attention from seniors and professors.
Gyu:
Obviously no one can resist this handsome face of mine. You have such handsome person as your friend. You must be feeling proud.
[Mingyu said that cause Wonwoo roll his eyes.]
Wonu:
You are talking like a self obsessed person. Such a weirdo just like the first day we met.
[Mingyu chuckled and throw himseld on Wonwoo.]
Gyu:
You know i am just joking. It's true that everyone think i have a handsome face but it is me who is lucky and proud to have you by my side.
[Wonwoo start blushing again while ignoring Mingyu's gaze.]
Wonu:

............................................................................................................
[Wonwoo was sitting with Mingyu and some of his friends feeling awkward as usual. If it is just Mingyu he doesn't mind sitting like this for hours but with everyone beside them giving him nervous glances makiing him feel awkward. He was peacefully sitting in the libray but Mingyu forcefully drag him here to join them.]
Gyu:
What are you gonna do about coming project Hyejin?
Hyejin:

[Mingyu chuckled and Wonwoo just look at him with a smile.]
Gyu:

Wonu:
Okay but why are you whispering?
Gyu:

[Wonwoo said checking the time while sitting on a chair in a bar. He wait for so long when he recieve Mingyu's text says he couldn't make it. Wonwoo sigh and get go back home.]
.............................................................................................
[Wonwoo was sitting in his house still angry that Mingyu didn't come last night when he saw shared story of Mingyu in which he was standing on the airport waving Joshua. He was angrier but he couldn't do anything about it. He never confront Mingyu about anything becaus ethey are friends and it is not necessary for him to always stick with Mingyu but this was too much because Mingyu make plans and then cancelled it on last moment.
Mingyu didn't even apologize for ditching Wonwoo and at this point Wonwoo wasn't expecting anything after all today is his last day in this university. Mingyu didn't knew but now that he came to university just like Wonwoo his senior are going to leave the university today but he didn't expect Mingyu to congractulate him because he know just like any other time he must be busy with everything in his department.]

Nothing special i didn't see my parents for a while now so i'm going to visit them. I'll leave tonight.
[Jeonghan nod when Wonwoo speak.]
Wonu:

Wonu:
If someone ask for me then tell them i left already.
Han:
Why? Were you waiting for someone?
[Jeonghan question when Wonwoo look toward other side and hang his head low.]
Wonu:
I was just hoping for something that isn't gonna happen.
Han:
What?
[Wonwoo didn't answer and left and soon after Mingyu and Hoshi came.]
Gyu:
Why are you here hyung?
Han:
I came here to congractulate my friend. He graduate today. What are you doing here?
Gyu:
Remember i told you i like someone he was going to gradute today as well. I need to find him.
Han:
Calm down first.
Gyu:
You don't undestand hyung. I was going to confess that night but one of my close friend told me he wants to meet me because he is leaving South Korea so i go to see him off and in all of that i forgot that i invite him for drinks so i text him quiet late he must be quite angry with me right now i ditched him.
Han:
You know you sound like a douche bag. How can you ditch someone you invite on drinks yourself and on the top of that, it was the person you like.
Gyu:
I know i am a bad guy. But let's talk abou this later. Today was his last day but my seniors didn't let me go off hook so i got late again. Wonwoo hyung is quiet sensitive with these matters he is not gonna see my face ever again.
Han:

Gyu:

Han: Y

[Jeonghan said looking at Mingyu quite seriously. Mingyu hold his head with both arms when Jeonghan speak again.]
Han:
Well i'm sure you don't know about it but just a brotherly advice check his Instagram account. You may find where is he going?
Gyu:
I have to go. Thanks hyung. Bye Hoshi!
Hoshi:

[Mingyu run away when Jeonghan chuckled and Hoshi look at him supiciously.]
Hoshi:
Hyung for real what did you do this time?
Han:
Nothing i hit the bull's eye. Don't worry they'll thank me later.
Hoshi:
You are not allowed to enter this university ever again. Your devilish mind god knows what you did. Ugggh i am so done with you.
....................................................................................[Mingyu was on his way to Wonwoo's house but he got stucked in traffic when he finally arrived he knocked on Wonwoo's apartment and ring the door bell several times but he didn't open the door when his neighbour come out.]
?:
Boy no one is at home stop smacking the door so hard.
Gyu:

I don't know but i saw him going in a taxi with luggage probably going somewhere.
[Mingyu didn't know what to do.]
Gyu:

[Mingyu squeeze his eyes and sit on the ground on his knees when the other man run toward him.]
?:
You okay? Do you need any help?
[Mingyu shake his head while wippin is tears.]
Gyu:
I am sorry to disturb you. I wanted to talk to this guy so i didn't notice that i was being too loud.
[The man pet on Mingyu's shoulder and smile.]
?:

[Mingyu get up and bow in front of the man.]
Gyu:
I have to go now. I still need to find him.
[The man nod and Mingyu walk away when the man shout again.]
?:
Believe in the power of love, for it has the ability to transform and heal even the most broken of hearts.
[Mingyu turn and look toward the man with a smile when he saw another man hugging him from behind with a smile.]
Gyu:
I'm not gonna give up. Bye!
[The man nod and Mingyu left. He decided to go back home and find some clues so he know where is Wonwoo going. He was sitting on his bed when Jeonghan's words echo in his mind.]
Gyu:
Right. Socail media he must have an account.
[Mingyu search Wonwoo's name and find his profile on the top of search bar. He open his mobile and start looking through it.]
[Mingyu look at the profile when his eyes stopped on the bio. His eyes open wide in shock. Why didn't he notice that Wonwoo was feeling the same the whole time?]
Gyu:
I am missing you Wonu.
Gyu:
I'm sorry i got late.
Gyu:
I am sorry i never mean to ditch you.
[Mingyu start crying.]
Gyu:
Please don't give up.
Gyu:
I too love you.
[Mingyu sigh and wipe his tears.]
Gyu:
I'm sorry for making you feel this way.
[Mingyu scroll down and saw a picture of Wonu whishing himself happy birthday.]
Gyu:
I came to your place but you didn't open the door
Gyu:
I thought you don't feel the same.
[Mingyu clenched his chest crying how much pain did he cause Wonwoo.]
Gyu:
Why did i never noticed?
[Mingyu thought for a bit but he don't remember receiving a call from unknown number.]
Gyu:
Why won't i receive your call?
[Mingyu remember his friend forced him to join them and he didn't find Wonwoo for a while. It was his fault always neglacting Wonwoo knowing he don't like crowded places.]
[A smile creep out on Mingyu's face remebering that day he lie to Wonwoo that he didn't know how to use the camera so he can spend some time with him.]
Gyu:
I should have make a move back then.
Gyu:
I would have said the same.
Gyu:
I always feel the same.
Gyu:
I was blinded by my own desire so much that i didn't noticed how you feel.
Gyu:
Where are you Wonu hyung?
A/N: Sorry guys i know its longer but because of photos exceeding it's limit there will be one more part.
