San's Moon

To your surprise, Mingi’s expression remained calm, you assumed he was still processing your question. Just then, his eyes went wide, his head snapping towards you quickly. “Wait! Did you get pregnant from our anniversary night last week? Baby, I told you we needed a condom! You knew my pull out game wasn’t all that great!”

Your eyes matched his shocked ones at his accusation, you didn’t know if you should laugh or yell. “What?! Mingi no! I’m not pregnant! I just meant, what if we start trying!”

“Oh.” The panicking boy breathed a sigh of relief, his expression visually softening before clearing his throat. “Well...then...what made you want one so soon?”

“I just, I’ve been seeing so many baby videos and cute outfits I would love to dress our baby in. I’ve been thinking about it so much lately.” Mingi was quiet for awhile as he thought about what you were saying.  He gestured for you to lay in his side and you accepted. His arm draping over your shoulders to hold you.

After you settled into him, he still hadn’t responded. The silence had you growing a bit nervous. “If you don’t want that just yet it’s okay.”

“Baby, no.” He patted your hair softly, leaving small pecks on the top of your head. “I would love to have a baby with you. I want us to have our own little family, my love.”

Your heart skipped a beat as you smiled to yourself at his words. “I want that too, Mingi.” You lifted your head to place a kiss on his lips before laying back down.

“But are we sure we’ll be able to handle all of that just yet?” He spoke softly, his words coming out slowly, hoping they wouldn’t make you sad. “I know we’ve talked about it before but...would you be okay with waiting awhile longer...until I’m able to take care of us? All three of us?” His fingers played with your hair gently as he looked down at you.

You sat up next to him, your hand coming up to caress his face with your thumb. “Of course, Mingi.” You reassured him, placing kisses on his cheek. “We both should be stable enough to care for a family. I love you and I don’t mind waiting. I want a family with you and only you.”

Mingi grabbed your hand that was caressing his cheek, moving it to his lips to place a soft kiss on the back of your palm. “I just want to be able to give you both the best lives that I can, I promise. I love you, baby.”

“I understand Mingi. I’m glad you think of our future as much as you do. I love you so much.”

“I think we should take our time, baby. In the mean time, you can save all these nursery ideas you have and we can decorate the whole room however you want.” His arms wrapped around your shoulders, pulling you into his chest as he laid behind you. “I’ll build all the furniture and paint the walls. Anything you want, love.”

You felt your heart jump at his words, giggling against him as you snuggled into him deeper. “You’re going to be such a good dad, Mingi.”

He placed a long kiss on your head, taking in your scent before pulling away. “And you’ll be an amazing mom, y/n...You just can’t save any of your outfit ideas.”

Your head shot up from his chest.“Wh-what? Why not the outfit ideas?”

“Because, I can handle that department. Our mini-Mingi or mini-Y/n will be the most stylish baby in the world, thanks to me.” He closed his eyes as he laid his head back, smiling proudly to himself.

You narrowed your eyes at him before making an exaggerated pout as you looked up at him pretending to be upset. “You don’t think I’ll pick out cute clothes for our baby?”

Mingi peeked out of one eye to look at you, seeing your puppy dog eyes he sat up quickly. “Baby I was just playing! I know you’ll pick out the cutest clothes!”

You chuckled at how quickly he attempted to cheer you up. “I know I will! I was just playing too.” You stuck your tongue out at him playfully. The action making him pull you into a kiss, his hand coming up to your jaw to keep your lips against his.

Instead, it was your mutual friend Seonghwa, inviting you to go to the arcade with him and some of your other friends. You were nervous to show up without Yeosang as Seonghwa was the one that introduced the two of you in the first place.

You stared at his message, your thumbs circling nervously as you raked your brain for a reply. Just as you were about to decline, another message came through, this time it was Yeosang.

Sangie ♡ : going to the arcade with hwa and the guys, wanna come?

Your heart skipped a beat at the notification. Mentally face palming yourself for being so affected by a bare minimum message, but your heart didn’t care. Already having forgotten all the doubts that had been filling your head just moments before.

You: Sure! I can’t wait to see you :)

Sangie ♡ : :)

Your chest felt a bit heavy at the wordless reply but you hoped he’d be a bit more excited once you saw him in person. You replied to Seonghwa’s message quickly before getting up to get ready.

----------------

You stood outside the arcade building alone, your eyes switching from your phone screen to the people on the sidewalk as you waited for the boys to arrive. You had only been waiting about 10 minutes when your eyes caught Yunho’s smiling ones in the busy crowd, a trail of boys following behind him. You waved at him, scanning the others, unable to see Yeosang just yet.

Your other friend, San, ran in front of the others to hug you. “Y/n, I missed you! How are you?” He asked, you giggled at his excitement. You had missed him too, and all the boys. However, since Yeosang never responded to your messages, you weren’t able to visit their shared apartment as often as you wanted to.

“I missed you too, San! And I’m doing fine.” Returning his smile as he released you from the hug. When you turned around, your eyes found Yeosang who was already looking at you.

“Hey, babe.” He gave you a small smirk before pulling you into a one armed hug, his other hand not bothering to leave his pant pocket.

“H-hey, baby.” You stuttered at his halfhearted actions, feeling him place the quickest peck on your head before ushering you inside to follow the others.

The whole evening was disheartening to say the least, well, at least the moments when you were near Yeosang.

The way he was hardly paying any attention to you made you feel pathetic, almost like you were just following him around like a lost puppy. After about an hour of it you were visibly sad, debating on going off with the others or just leaving altogether.

Mingi noticed your sulking face that you were trying your hardest to hide as you stood by Yeosang who was paying you no mind. Focusing on cheering on Jongho and Yunho at a punching bag game. He came over and pulled you away to play a few games of air hockey with him. Yeosang not even batting an eyelash at you as you left his side. After that, you and Mingi joined Wooyoung and San at a claw machine where San proudly won you a stuffed puppy.

The attention they were giving you had you feeling better already. That was, until you noticed Seonghwa and Hongjoong off on their own, eyeing the food court suspiciously. Seonghwa’s eyes caught yours, a look of sadness flashing across them before breaking eye contact with you quickly.

Your eyes followed Hongjoong’s to see Yeosang in front of the food court. A smile on his face as he talked to some girl, his hand coming up to brush against her arm and play with her hair, the sight nearly making you burst into tears.

You rushed out before any tears could fall, passing Hongjoong and Seonghwa on your way, the taller boy following behind you.

“Y/n? Y/n...I’m so sorry.” Seonghwa held you by your shoulders, attempting to calm you down as you started sobbing not wanting to look him in the eyes. “I never expected him to treat you like this.”

“It’s okay, Hwa its not your fault.” You were so sad and upset you just wanted to disappear.

Before he could reply, Hongjoong’s shouting caught your attention. You both turned to see him dragging Yeosang out by the arm of his leather jacket, practically throwing him towards you and Seonghwa. The black haired boy moved out of the way to join Hongjoong by the doorway.

Yeosang fixed his jacket then stood in front of you, his hands in his pockets, not saying a word.

“Did you ever even like me?” You asked bluntly after a few minutes of pure silence, staring right at his face. Your sadness having turned to anger. Anger at him for playing with your feelings and anger at yourself for putting up with it for so long.

He cleared his throat, looking around, still refusing to make eye contact with you. “I...I did.”

“So what changed?” Your arms crossed in front of you. You took a quick glance behind him, seeing the other boys had joined the older two, a few of them staring at you and Yeosang wondering what was happening. You didn’t let their presence deter you though, you were ready to end things with Yeosang no matter who heard what was going on.

“I don’t know.”

“And you thought it was a better idea to cheat on me than tell me you didn’t want to be with me anymore?” His eyes never left the ground as you spoke. “I always thought you were too good for me but now I know you’re not. You’re just an asshole and a flirt.”

“I..I know you won’t believe me but...I’m sorry.”

“You’re right I don’t believe you.” A tear fell from your eye against your will, hating that it ever came to this. “It’s over Yeosang. Go finish what you started with that other girl, maybe she can put up with your playboy shit because I’m not. I’m done.”

You turned away from him, too hurt to say bye to the others, hoping they’d understand. After a few seconds, you heard footsteps running up behind you, expecting it to be Yeosang, you started to yell. “Look, Yeosang! I-”

“Hey, hey, it’s just me.” You blinked a few times at the sound of San’s voice next to you. His arm draping over your shoulder pulling you into a side hug.

“And me...” Seonghwa followed on your right, walking quickly to catch up to you both. “We’re gonna walk you home if you don’t mind...”

You sniffled, as you wiped your tears away, not wanting them to watch you cry. “Of course not, thank you both.” The boys tried the best they could to make conversation to distract you and you really appreciated the effort. San grabbing the stuffed dog from your hands, making tiny barking noises with it to make you smile.

When you arrived at your apartment, Seonghwa asked San to give you two a minute to talk. The smaller boy nodded without question, walking a few feet away to give you privacy.

“I’m sorry again for this...I don’t know what’s going on with him but I don’t expect you to forgive him.”

You smiled at Seonghwa’s attempt to  make you feel better but you never blamed him. “I understand but I really don’t blame you at all. He seemed so different in the beginning...but...I guess I knew it wouldn’t last.” You looked at the ground between you two, kicking at nothing not really knowing what else to say at that moment.

The sound of San nearly tripping over a rock that he was messing with caught your attention, you watched him for a second, a small smile growing on your face. Seonghwa watched you as you looked at San, knowing all to well how the younger boy felt about you.

“You know...I think San has a crush on you.” He smirked at you playfully but you stared back at him with a look full of warning.

“I don’t know Hwa, I’m just now getting over the last boy you tried to pair me up with.”

“Yeah but...San is different, he’s a sweet guy and I know he’d treat you right.” You both turned your gaze at the boy kicking rocks a few feet away. San looked up, meeting your eyes with a small smile before turning back around, not wanting to interrupt. “Well anyways, I’ll let you get to sleep, I know you had a long day.” He opened his arms for a hug, patting your back reassuringly when you accepted. “If you need to cry to someone or just want to talk please call me.”

“I will.” You promised as you released from his grasp. Seonghwa called out to San, gesturing his head at you to come say his farewells.

San gave you a soft smile as he pulled you into a hug, his head resting on your shoulder a few moments before pulling away. “I hope you feel better soon. Also...I know it’s not my place to say...maybe it’s too soon but...I always thought you were too good for him. You’re such a sweet person I hope you never forget that.” You were shocked speechless by his words. The shy smile on his face as he looked down had your heart fluttering in a way you hadn’t felt in months. “I’ll see you later y/n. If you need anything, I’ll always be here for you. I promise.” He patted your shoulder before joining Seonghwa in the parking lot.

Your mind ran wild with thoughts as you moved about your apartment getting yourself ready for bed. You were upset over everything Yeosang had put you through but for whatever reason, the memories of how San had treated you all night nearly made all your bad feelings go away.
