Neglect - Ji Changmin

chapter 25

they are all laughing, thinking that nothing's gonna happen again. but they were wrong.

chaewon was just planning her next move to take changmin away from minji. what she wants, she gets.

but not always, that's why she's trying hard to get changmin.

"you think i'm done? just watch kim minji. i will break you." chaewon mumbled while looking at the laughing couple.

---

minji walked to their home, but she's alone. changmin said the boys in dance club needs to practice for an upcoming event in the university.

minji sighed as she was walking alone. suddenly someone tapped her back that startled her.

"yah! i hate you minho. you scared me!" minji said.

"chill, i'm sorry. why are you walking though? alone?" minho asked.

"they're all busy." minji said.

"you should've called me." minho said.

"i forgot. i'm sorry hihi." minji said and smiled.

"wanna come over? the guys are busy also." minho said and minji nodded.

few minutes later, they were in their dorm.

"oh gosh minho it's so messy." minji said as she roamed around the house.

"yeah it is. i haven't cleaned it yet." minho said as he put their things in a side.

"help me, let's clean. we should cook for them also." minji said and minho agreed.

while they were cleaning, minho suddenly asked her something.

"how are you and changmin?" minho asked.

"we're fine. we confronted each other, explained. then we're okay." minji said.

"is it hard?" minho asked her. minji nodded.

"yes, kinda. i only knew changmin for months, we're just new couple. i had never been in a relationship for a long time. it's really hard. we're still in the stage where we're still having doubts and getting to know each other more." minji said.

"i was like that too back then, with jikyeon. our relationship is perfect. at first, we also had doubts and we don't know each other that much so we opened up to each other. until chaewon came. she ruined us. she'll do anything to get what she likes." minho said.

minji nodded, she remembered when minho said chaewon broke their relationship.

"chaewon really is a couple breaker. should give her an award." minji said. minho laughed.

after cleaning for what seems like 5 hours, kidding, they made food.

they were in the midst of cooking, they're beside each other.

minho helping minji cook lots of dishes. suddenly, the guys came.

they smelled the food and was amazed.

"waaah minho hyung- oh? minji noona?" jisung said as he saw that there's another presence in the kitchen.

minho prepared the table already.

"eat, we cooked for y'all." minji said. chan suddenly hugged her.

"thank you minji." chan said and smiled as soon as he broke their hug.

minji looked at him confused.

"for what?" minji asked.

"for everything. i saw how you made the boys happy. they always tell me that you're the best noona they ever had. for being kind to us. for still accepting minho even though he was your ex, who liked you again." chan said.

the last sentence made them laugh and made minho whine.

"hyuuuung!" minho whined.

"it's nothing channie. all of you are a part of my life, my family." minji said and signed them to eat already.

"how 'bout you noona? why aren't you eating?" jeongin asked.

"i have to go home later. i guess it's late already." minji said as she looked at her watch, it was almost 8pm.

after eating, minji decided to go home.

"let's go, i'm gonna walk you home." minho said and minji nodded.

"bye guys! see you tomorrow!" minji waved goodbye, as well as the guys.

after some minutes, minji and minho bid goodbyes to each other also.

she entered the door, fixing her shoes, when she noticed that all the guys are standing infront of her.

she was startled.

"what time is it now? where have you been? do you know how worried we were? it's been hours since the dismissal yet we came home in an empty house." younghoon said.

"you should've informed us thst you're going somewhere or what." jaehyun said.

they continued nagging which slightly made her annoyed.

"okay fine! i'm sorry okay? i walked alone because all of you are busy." she sarcastically said.

"then you should have still called us so that we can take you home!" changmin said.

"i don't want to bother all of you! it's done already okay? i was just at minho's dorm. we cleaned and cooked for the other guys. he walked me home because he saw me alone. happy?" she said.

"you were at minho's dorm? then chaewon wasn't lying? when she said that you and minho are together." changmin said.

"come on changmin, are we going to argue about this again? we just talked about this! i thought we're already okay?" minji said.

changmin then scoffed.

"how would i trust you with minho? minho likes you! and you're hanging out with him! i won't know things if chaewon won't tell me. she said you're really happy when you're with minho." changmin said.

"are you seriously doubting me? are you jealous? changmin, how many times am i gonna tell you that we're just friends!? minho won't do anything bad! tell yourself that chaewon is someone who will do something bad! chaewon broke minho's relationship, and she's trying to break us! and what's happening right now, won't help at all! we were an unbreakable, perfect couple! why are we like this now? what happened to us? answer me ji changmin!" minji cried out.

"you! you always hang out with others! you have no time for me these past few weeks! i am longing for you, your warmth, yet you're with other guys!" changmin yelled back.

"it's because you're always busy! i have time to hangout with others because i was alone! i also want to spend much more time with you but you're busy! changmin, trust me! not chaewon!" minji cried and ran to her room.

changmin fell down on his knees, tears escaping his eyes.

younghoon, jaehyun, and juyeon shook their head in disappointment.

"i fucked up once again. i promised them that i won't let her cry anymore." changmin said and ruffled his hair in frustration.

once again, the couple isolated themselves in their rooms.
