Wooyoung lent forwards in the booth seat he was sitting in, eyeing Mingi as he sipped on his strawberry milkshake through his curly straw.
Wooyoung was currently out with Mingi at a Roller diner that Mingi insisted they just had to go today.
Wooyoung hadn't seen Mingi since the party and they were in need of a catch up Wooyoung had agreed to come. Wooyoung hadn't told Mingi about his break up and the events of the party yet.
Wooyoung had been wallowing in self pity. He was depressed because of the breakup and he also felt terribly ashamed of himself.
He had not one, but two very heated moments with the boy known as Yeosang, a complete stranger. The first was an honest mistake, but the second? Wooyoung had let that happen. Why did he let that happen?
Wooyoung had tried to call his now ex girlfriend in hopes that he could salvage the relationship and put his little kissing accident behind them. Her mother had picked up though, told Wooyoung that her daughter didn't want to talk to him, and then yelled at him for breaking her daughters heart, before promptly hanging up.
Wooyoung also stopped by her house with her favourite flowers in hopes that maybe if she could see him making an effort she might at least talk to him, but this time he faced her father. He didn't yell, thank god, but he looked disappointed as he gave Wooyoung a stern warning to stay away from his daughter and to never approach their house ever again.
Wooyoung wondered what sort of story she had fabricated to make her parents not like him. Did they know that she was the one who was breaking his heart? Her parents had always been fond of Wooyoung, but now that fondness was gone.
Wooyoung was just glad that her father didn't chase him down the street with a baseball bat . . .it happened to Mingi once.
So Wooyoung was left all alone, Mingi was busy so he had no one to talk to, well no one he wanted to talk to, he had other friends but Mingi was the only one Wooyoung wanted to chat with.
"So tell me again why we're here" Wooyoung said as he ran his finger around the rim of the milkshake glass.
Mingi took a big swig of his own milkshake, completely disregarding the straw and drinking straight from the glass. He wiped the froth from his face and lent in towards Wooyoung. "This is where the girl I met works, I'm waiting for her, I came in here yesterday but she wasn't working"
Wooyoung lent forwards resting his face on his hand "You said you knew her from college right? What are you going to do when she gets here?" He then took a chip from the chip basket and dipped it in the milkshake.
Mingi waved a chip at Wooyoung "Ask her out duh! And yeah we have some classes together but we'd never talked until the party"
"Oh ok" Wooyoung answered rather sadly, he was suddenly remind of all the dates he had planned to take his girlfriend on, but now wouldn't be able to go on.
Mingi rested his hand on Wooyoung's wrist giving it a squeeze, he could see that Wooyoung was upset but Wooyoung hadn't told him why yet "Woo?"
"Yeah?" Wooyoung said looking up at Mingi
"What's wrong?" Mingi let go and clasped his hands around his own drink waiting for an answer.
Wooyoung sighed, and his eyes began to sting "My girlfriend broke up with me"
Mingi sat back, gasping a little "Why? You guys were so happy, I thought you were doing well!"
"I thought we were too, but there was a misunderstanding at the party and she just couldn't see past it, so she broke up with me"
"What was the misunderstanding?" Mingi asked cautiously
Wooyoung looked away from Mingi's strong gaze,"I kissed someone . . not my girlfriend" he mumbled
Mingi was mid slurp of his milkshake but he spat it back out by accident in shock "You did what!? No wonder she bro-"
Wooyoung waved his hands at Mingi "No! No! No! It was an accident"
"Woo I don't think kissing someone other than your girlfriend can be an accident" Mingi said jumping to conclusions
"I couldn't see, I didn't know!" Wooyoung said trying to justify himself
Mingi squinted quizzically "You couldn't . .see?"
"yeah . . you know the 7 minutes game you told me about. . .?
Mingi nodded
" . . .Well I went there and when I got there the guy in charge of the game blindfolded me and told me I couldn't say anything when I got in the closest because they were the rules"
"And you didn't think to check whether she was actually in there before you went in?"
"Well you said she was in there waiting for me so I just assumed . ."
"I never said she was in there . ." Mingi said as he scratched his neck, feeling awkward " . .Just that she was waiting for you"
Wooyoung covered his face with his hands "Ahhh I'm such an idiot"
"I'm sorry" Mingi said as he picked at a hole in the plastic on the table
Wooyoung looking up solemnly "It's ok, it's my fault, I should have checked first like you said"
They sat in silence for a moment
"Sooo can I ask a question?"
"Sure, go ahead"
"When you were kissing this other girl did you not realise from kissing her and stuff that she was different? Was she that similar to your girl friend that you couldn't tell the difference?"
Wooyoung didn't bother to correct Mingi on the fact that he'd said 'girl', if he told Mingi that he'd kissed a guy he'd probably tease him about it for the rest of his life.
Wooyoung's cheeks suddenly flushed pink, "I probably should have . ."
Mingi was very observant and took in Wooyoung's change in behaviour and his flushed appearance. "You probably should have?" Mingi said repeating Wooyoung's words in question "Just how different was she?"
Wooyoung continued to use the 'she' pronouns "She was really good, like reaaaallllyyy good, I wasn't going to say no to letting her touch me and kiss me"
"Touch you?" Mingi was doing his best to dig for answers. "Did you . ." Mingi made a suggestive face, wiggled his eyebrows and made kissy lips " . .Touch back?"
Wooyoung buried his face in his hands "Um no . .uh . . m-maybe . .". He knew just the kind ways that he had touched Yeosang, and more so the ways Yeosang had touched him . . his wet lips, his cold hands, his soft fingers . Wooyoung shivered.
"Oh woo, you dirty boy. I guess you should at least be thankful that she hadn't seen the both of you, the door stayed closed the whole time right??"
Wooyoung cringed and nodded, dipping another chip in his milkshake glass.
"So will you try get back with her? She knows it was a mistake right?" Mingi asked, trying to seem hopeful
"She does. And I did try but she doesn't want to see me"
"Ohh . . " Mingi didn't know what to say.
Both boy's finished their milkshakes and passed them to a girl who rolled by on skates whisking the two glasses out of their hands on onto her tray.
"Soooooo, do you think you'll meet up with the girl from the closet? Maybe you can hook up again, she might be able help you forget your ex?"
Wooyoung violently shook his head "No absolutely not!" he didn't want to hook up with a boy again. He forever wanted to deny the fact that he had enjoyed the kiss
"Woo it's very rare that you let someone touch you, let alone you being the one doing the touching, unless you have a kinky side you've never told me about? Maybe she could teach you a thing or two?"
"Oh god no. There will be absolutely no more . .touching" Wooyoung looked around nervously, Mingi was being very vocal and this conversation was not really appropriate considering this was a family diner.
All of a sudden Mingi's face went from inquisitive to lovelorn as a dazed expression fell on his face.
Wooyoung looked over his shoulder following Mingi's gaze to the girl who had just walked through the front of the diner.
This must be Mingi's girl.
