Mino X Reader- In the Elevator
Angsty request for Mino of Winner, with a happy ending. Enjoy :)
“Mino, are you leaving?” You ask as your boyfriend grabs his jacket from the chair it was tossed on just moments ago when he got home.
“Yeah. Jinwoo just texted me were gonna go out tonight.” He kissed your temple as he walked to the door.
“Didn’t you go out with them the last few nights?” You asked pulling your legs up on the couch. You didn’t want to start a fight but this had been on your mind all week.
“Well they’re my friends…” He said slowly.
“Well I know that but I’m your girlfriend. I want to spend time with you too. It’s like you never have time for me.” You answered.
“Do you not want me to spend time with my friends?”
“I never said that. I just want you to spend more time with me. Why can’t you ever talk to me about when you’re stressed or overworked? Why do you have to go out for drinks every time you have a problem? Why can’t you just talk to me? I may not be an idol but I am a human I understand problems.”
“Do you? Do you think you can offer real advice on what to do about it being over a year since I promoted? Can you tell me about crazy fan and no privacy? Do you really think you can understand what it is like?” He snapped, sharper than intended.
“Maybe if you talked about it with me I’d be able to! You just runaway to Jinwoo and drink with him. You don’t even try talking to me anymore.” You could feel the tears at your eyes.
“You don’t understand! You don’t know anything of what it’s actually like. Sitting and watching is nothing like living it okay? You don’t have any clue how hard it is for me! My friends do. I need them.”
“Okay. Well if you don’t need me in your life. I’ll just leave.”
“Fine. Go! Then I won’t have to get the 3rd degree every time I want to talk to my friends.”
“If that’s what you want. I’ll get my stuff in the morning.” You said your voice breaking along with your heart. You shakily grabbed your purse off the table and almost ran out the door. Tears falling as you pushed passed Mino.
“Wait!” He said after a few seconds as he processed what just happened. “Wait Y/N. Don’t leave like this. You can’t leave me.” His voice was breaking as well as he watched you get into the elevator. Watching your eyes as he ran down the hall to meet you. The elevator started to close separating the two of you. He could see the pain he caused in your eyes and running down to your cheek and chin. You kept staring back expressionless. Waiting for the door to finally close. You were too numb to press the button forcing it closed. Too numb to do anything but stand there as the silent tears streamed down your face. You knew there was some truth in his words. That’s why you didn’t bother arguing. You didn’t know what it was like to be an idol. Your relationship was a secret so you didn’t even know what it was like being in the public eye.
“Y/N” He said as the door closed. He was too late. The door shut and you began to sob, falling to your knees as the ugly sobs raked through your body breaking your numbness. You didn’t want to actually leave him. You knew he loved you. You always loved him. You could go back but why? After what he said? There had to be truth to it if he said it. Right?
By the time the doors opened to the lobby you were laying sobbing not caring who saw you or what you looked like- how dirty the ground was. You didn’t care you just cried.
“Y/N” You heard Mino trying to catch his breath as he walked over to the elevator. He had run down the 24 flights to the lobby. “Y/N. I didn’t mean it.” He stepped into the elevator sitting on the ground next to you. “I’m sorry. I love you.” He brushed your tear soaked hair from your face elevator door shut. “I do need you. You support me more than I can explain. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said any of that. I’m sorry.” He kept repeating that he was sorry making you cry more. The elevator opened and you pulled yourself into a sitting position.
“Take the next one” Mino said to the person who was waiting to get on and pressed the close button.
“Please. I’m sorry. I do need you.” He took your hand in one of his and smoothed your hair with another.
“You said that you didn’t.” You responded.
“And I shouldn’t of. I’m sorry I didn’t mean it. It was stupid. I don’t know what I would do without you.” You could see the sincerity in his eyes as he pleaded with you. He looked broken.
You didn’t say anything just slowly leaned forward and let him catch you. He wrapped his arms around you pulling him against him. “Thank you” He said kissing your head repeatedly. He put his hands on the side of your face guiding you to meet his eyes. “I’ll do better. I’ll share more with you., I promise. Just please please don’t leave me again.”
“I love you.” You said tiredly. He smiled and pressed his lips to yours tenderly you kissed until the doors opened on the 24th floor.
“Let’s go back home” He kissed your forehead. “I think the bed and a movie are waiting for us.” He said taking your hands and helping you up.
