Complicated Love Life (1/1)

Donghae’s POV“Can you repeat what you just told me again?” I ask still dumbfounded. “Hae, I love Kyu. I don’t want to marry you. I want to break off the engagement.” I heard Minnie said those ‘breaking up’ words again and I feel a smile creeps across my face as well as relief.  “B-but…hyung….”Hyukkie starts to say as Minnie hugs him again. “Hyukkie, it’s ok. You’re not at fault and I am not angry at you.” Minnie said softly smiling at Hyukkie who just continues to stare at Minnie.“Minnie, you’re not….” I want to ask if he was angry with me but couldn’t find the courage to form the sentence. “Minnie is not upset at you either Hae. Don’t think that way or feel guilty. If anyone should feel guilty it should be me. I was the one that confessed to Minnie after you left. I’m really sorry Hae.” Kyu said bowing to me and I hug him. “I’m not upset about this Kyu. I’m not mad at you or Minnie.” I said as Kyu hugs me back.When we pull apart, we smile at each other and I understand everything. “I didn’t mean to hurt you Kyu. My engagement to Minnie must have hurt you a lot, but you endure all of the hurt because of us. I’m sorry.” I said and Kyu shakes his head. “I know you didn’t like the engagement either. It was your parents and his parent choice. You and Minnie didn’t have any saying in this. I understand you both are not happy with this set up.” Kyu said smiling at me.“Thanks for your understanding Kyu.” I said and he pats my shoulder. “Now that we all understand this mess and don’t have to worry about hiding any secret from each other.” Minnie said smiling widely. “Hyung…hyung you’re not mad a-at….”Hyukkie trails off and his face looks like he was going to cry again. I saw Minnie hugs Hyukkie again tightly this time. “Hyung is not mad at you Hyukkie. Hyung is very happy for you. Hae is a good man. I know he’ll take good care of you.” Minnie said and I saw Hyukkie nods his head without saying anything back.“The hard part is how to tell our parents.” I said and Minnie nods his head. “Hae, my mom called earlier and said your mom and mine are planning a surprise wedding on New Year.” I stand up and slam both hands down on the table. “WHAT??!!! MY MOM IS WHAT?????!!!!!!!” I shouted as Kyu told me to sit back down as other customers inside the restaurant are looking at us. “She didn’t want me to tell you because they want it to be a surprise for you.” Minnie finished and I shut my eyes as I let out a heavy sigh.“This is just getting worse.” I said feeling exhausted of all this mess. “Why can’t my parents just let me be? Why do they keep making all these decisions for me?” Kyu pats my shoulder. “We are thinking of telling your parents when they get back for Christmas. Minnie’s parents won’t be back until after Christmas so we can tell them later.” Kyu suggests and I nod my head. I look at Hyukkie who has been silent this whole time and hold his hand.“Hyukkie, I promise I will sort this out. Don’t worry.” I said reassuringly and smiling at him. Hyukkie didn’t smile back at me but just nod his head.  I have never seen Hyukkie looks at me with such sadness and insecurity in his eyes. Ever since we got together, he always has a happy glow around him when he’s around me. Never once did he look at me with such sadness. Seeing him like this really shattered my heard into pieces.“Hyukkkie…”I said and get up to walk over to him. I take both of his hand and kneel in front of him. “Hyukkie, remember what I said before we left. You can’t doubt me now baby. Everything will work out fine. I’m not letting you go without a fight.” I peck his lips and he hugs me tight as he buries his face on the crook of my neck sobbing. I can’t do anything but hug him tightly back as I wait for him to calm down while saying soothing words to him. I saw Minnie reaches a hand over to stroke Hyukkie’s hair as a method to com
