❝I want you to be your light, baby
You should be your light
So you won't hurt anymore, so you can smile more
I want you to be your night, baby
You could be your night
I'll be honest with you tonight.❞

"Ready for the truth, Mingyu?" Mihae sighed softly, glimpsing a small smile to ease Mingyu's worries.
The hospital garden was actually filled with greenery, which was unexpected for such a busy hospital.
Flowers and bees, butterflies flying around the place, everything... wasn't at the right timing.
"Just tell me, I won't overreact or something..." Mingyu whispered enough for Mihae to hear.
The two were sitting on a bench, behind them were various flowers.
Mihae sighed and started speaking, "I was a wild 15-year-old, I smoked, tattooed, drinked many drinks even if I was underaged. That night after clubbing, I was drunk and my boyfriend he..."
Mihae stopped, her tears started flowing. Mingyu only sat there silently, patting her back, comforting her.
She took deep breaths before continuing, "I knew I couldn't keep the child, so I had an abortion. It became my secret. Now it's spread everywhere in school... Eunbyul tried to protect me and my secret..."
"H-How?" Mingyu stuttered and gulped nervously.
"The Bakers," Mihae's fists balled up as she mentioned their name, "They threatened Eunbyul so that Taemi could do her evil plans to you. They said if she interferes with their plans, my secret will be spread out..."
Mihae couldn't stop crying. Her tears just wouldn't stop.
But for weird reasons, Mingyu embraced Mihae in his arms while she cried, her tears stained his shirt.
"Why did you save me? I could have dealt with her crazy plans... And you could have had the chance to debut... Why-"
And Mingyu's heart ached at Mihae's sudden answer, only three words, the most sincere words he has ever heard.
"I love you..."
He froze. His feelings mixed up in his head.
Mihae kept talking, tears still streaming down her cheeks, "I tried to deny it... Because the guy I dated before betrayed me and walked away when I said the child in my body was his... And he... was a lot like you... Moreover, you love Eunbyul and I... I knew I had no chance but..."
The air was only filled with Mihae's sobs. Mingyu remained silent.
He didn't know what to say.
But when he found the right words, Mihae's phone rang.
She quickly wiped away her tears. The contacts showed it was Hyerim. It must have been important, Hyerim doesn't usually call her.
"Hello?" Mihae coughed, trying to sound as normal as she could.
"Mihae? You okay? Is Mingyu with you?"
"Yeah? He's right next to me. What's wrong?" She asked quite concerned.
"Seungcheol wanted him to come here. Apparently Seungcheol left his phone at home and I don't have Mingyu's number so I called you. Sorry if I interrupted anything, Seungcheol kept urging me to call so I had to."
"Oh it's fine. Alright I'll tell him. See you," and she ended the phone call.
Clearing her voice, Mihae spoke, "Seungcheol wanted you to meet him. That's all the information you need to know."
She glanced a smile, a very fake one.
"But what about-" Mingyu couldn't finish his sentence.
"You don't have to return my feelings. I don't blame you if you don't, because I kinda ship you with Eunbyul haha," soon enough, Mihae returned to her cheerful self. That only made Mingyu feel more guilty. But he knew Seungcheol wouldn't call him if it wasn't urgent so he just gave her a frown.
"I promise I'll talk to you later about this," and he ran off.
Mihae smiled to herself, sitting down on the bench, her arms wrapped around her own body, "Promises are made to be broken anyways."
She stood up and walked slowly back to Eunbyul's room.
