The cracks of their relationship goes unnoticable at first, like the chimney that’s overdue for renovation after the last storm made its way to their home. Wonwoo has recently got promoted to senior accountant so he barely comes home, and when he does, Minghao is already fast asleep. If he manages to catch his partner past 3AM, Wonwoo is quietly slipping himself in bed, arms pressed around his waist.
The next day, and every morning after, Wonwoo’s side of the bed would be cold.
🌪
Rainy season starts its wave of tears, now breaking apart the chimney where Minghao has to settle, putting buckets to where the water drips.
“It’s like you don’t have time for me anymore,” Minghao says one Saturday, while Wonwoo is seated with his work laptop in front of him when he brings his partner freshly brewed tea. What sort of company makes their senior accountant work? Wonwoo’s company apparently.
Wonwoo does not look up but instead proceeds to type away whatever reports he had to hand in. “Sorry babe, just gimme–”
Minghao shuts the laptop by force. With a quick glance, he sees Wonwoo shooting him a deadly stare, and an expression that wears ‘Why the fuck did you do that for?’. It’s very unlike Wonwoo, who would look at him like he’s precious, like he deserved to be treasured. The Wonwoo before him is someone Xu Minghao no longer recognizes.
“You don’t even look at me, until I do this.” Minghao sighs, hands still pressed against the laptop. “Do you still love me?”
There’s desperation in his voice and it turns to fear when Wonwoo doesn’t answer immediately like he usually does. A thunder claps loudly in the distance.
“Can we just talk about this later?” Wonwoo sighs this time. “I really need to get my job done.”
“We can’t.” the younger man retaliates. “Because there won’t be any later.” he gets up from his seat. Minghao is doing his best to not cry – to not show how vulnerable he feels because he isn’t a needy, or clingy boyfriend. He never wanted to be one. Because if Wonwoo had just said that he loves him, he would have left it there and then, go about his day and let Wonwoo do his work in peace.
“Do you… still.. love me?” Minghao asks with his lips quivering. The rain outside starts picking up in pace until the droplets from the chimney starts pouring in.
“I do, I really do..” Wonwoo confesses.
“But?” Minghao continues, “It’s not day one of me knowing you, Jeon Wonwoo. You love me but what?”
Wonwoo looks guilty and Minghao feels like he’s about to crumble and give in; to apologize for lashing out just because he's lonely. Because he still loved Wonwoo, and he absolutely despised fighting him.
“I’ll sleep in my own room tonight,” Minghao says.
