72 LIKE WHAT MINHO? (1/2)

Minho sat across the couch on where I set up my laptop, where I currently sit right now. The ramen on the table in between us was still piping hot. I glanced at Minho, his face was unreadable. I'm afraid to initaite the conversation because I felt that he'd snap any second now. I am like a scared rat righr now. I just want to hide.

No! I have to steel myself. I brought this upon myself so I have to face this. I have to open it now to Minho or else, the situation would turn from bad to the worst.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Okay, here goes.

”Minho..”

I was stunned speechless by the cold look Minho gave my way when I opened my eyes.

Okay. Inhale. Exhale. Alright Cassidy, you can do this.

I glanced at him again. Gods, he is so scary right now. What made him this mad at me?

”Minho, what do you wanna talk about, really? Please tell me, so that I can tell you everything and that I can see you smile again. ”

He sighed. ”I'm sorry Cass. It's just....”

I waited for him to continue, but after seconds of silence, I decided to talk from the beginning.

”Okay, seeing you're not ready to talk, I'll start.” I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. ”So you know, I had a boyfriend before.”

He nodded. Okay, let's put the cat out of the bag now and face Minho's wrath.

”My ex is Ethan.”

He closed his eyes and inhaled sharply. ”Ethan? The Ethan I saw in your apartment? The one you introduced to me as your best friend?”

He opened his eyes then, which were scorching with anger, which were directed at me. I can't really blame him, I lied.

I sat still, waiting for his onslaught, and he didn't fail me.

”Cassidy, why did you lie? Why hide the truth? Cassidy, I'm willing to accept your past, everything about it. If you could have been more honest to me.” He pounded his chest. I could feel the hurt in his actions, in his eyes. ”And to think I saw you both on that couch in your apartment, kissing.....”

It was my turn to inhale sharply. He saw that, he really saw that.

”That really broke my heart Cassidy. I waited for your explanation, but you only gave me that best friend argument. And then he hugged you at the hospital. My patience was wearing thin then but you said you'd explain. So I waited patiently!”

I jumped at his loud outburst. My tears threatening to fall. But I really can't blame him. This is all my fault. My fault. My fault.

”And then, when I was traveling back here, I received Gina's text that you were with him! I snapped Cassidy, that was the last straw!”

I jumped again as he banged his hands on the table. I looked at him, my eyes pleading. ”I can explain-”
