Broken Hearts and Crystal Tears
Return
~2 weeks later (Minnie’s POV)~
For some reason, none of the Exo members or SUGAR members have visited me in a week. They must be busy with their schedules. But today is the day that I can FINALLY get out of this hospital room.
At around noon, Yoomi came to pick me up from the hospital. I walked into the building, and the Exo and SUGAR members all greeted me, laughing and happy. Except for two people.
Summer was sitting alone on a couch, and she had a blank expression on her face. The only thing she has said to me since I’ve recovered is “hi.” I went to sit next to her, and she glanced at me, but then looked away.
“Summer, what’s wrong? Are you not happy to see me?” There was no response. As I was about to walk away, she said “Minnie...You’ll know the reason soon.”
Confused, I just sat on the couch next to her. I looked around the room for Sehun. I’ve missed him so much, even though it’s only been a few weeks.
I saw him by the dinner table. I got up, and walked over to him.
“Hey Sehun! I’ve missed you a lot oppa!”
I heard Sehun say something that sounded like, “I sure haven’t.”
I looked at him closely. “What did you just say, Oh Sehun?” I thought the whole thing was just a joke, and I played along with it.
He stood up straighter, and smiled. I loved that smile so much. I wanted to trace my finger along his lips and kiss him right there.
But all he said was, “Welcome back.”
Disappointed, I made my way to sit with Summer.
We talked for a few minutes, catching up. Suddenly, Summer stopped talking and stared at someone. I followed her gaze to see what she was staring at, and I saw Kai. He’s already looking at me, and he smiles and winks.
I give a small smile back, a little confused. Sehun walks over, and I thought he was going to sit and talk to me. Instead, he goes over to Summer. I see that there are tears silently running down her cheeks. I immediately felt a pain of guilt for not comforting her. I don’t know why she’s crying, but a good best friend should always be there.
But before I say anything, Sehun wraps his strong arms around Summer. It hit me when Sehun looked at Summer like she was the most beautiful person in the world. The way one looks at another when he or she is in love. I watched as Summer put her head on Sehun’s chest, and Sehun strokes her hair, and kissed her forehead. “Don’t cry, you’ll be fine,” I can hear Sehun whisper in Summer’s ear.
Why had I been so foolish? Of course Sehun would never like me. All of the times he had been nice or helped me was just an act of kindness, I thought. All of a sudden, a pain grew in my heart. My stomach felt like it was an endless pit.
With Sehun’s arm around Summer’s waist, they walked away. I was left alone, and I could feel my eyes starting to get hot.
I stare at my hands, trying my best to keep the tears in.
~Kai’s POV~
I watched the whole thing. When Minnie saw Sehun comfort Summer, when she realized that Sehun loves Summer and not her, when she realized that she would never have a chance. I knew that Minnie likes Sehun, but I didn’t make myself believe it until now. The way her eyes went from glistening to glassy, the way her face went from excited to sadness and disappointment, the way her back went from straight to slumped; all of it showed that her heart had broken.
When I saw her hurt, I felt broken as well. No girl this kind and beautiful should have a broken heart. Tears were threatening to fall out, but I blinked them back and walked over to Minnie. My heart shattered into a million pieces when I saw how fragile and betrayed she looked.
~Minnie’s POV~
“Do you want to talk about it?” I heard a voice from in front of me.
I lifted my head and found Kai. I sniffled, and he sat beside me. “I saw what happened. You can talk to me. I know. I understand,” he said.
“Y-you know?”
Kai scanned my face, then said “I know that you’re in love Sehun. I know that what he just did must’ve broken your heart.”
I sobbed. “I’ve never hurt so much, but this type of hurting won’t go away. Kai oppa, I never imagined heartbreak to hurt this much. I feel like...like there’s nothing left of me.”
“I understand,” his deep voice was soothing.
“Has your heart ever broken? How do you mend it?” I asked, almost desperate.
He spoke so quietly I could just barely hear him “Yes...just now in fact.”
I looked at his face. “N-now?”
He looked away and blinked rapidly before turning back. “Yes. I’m not sure if you know, but Minnie, I love you.”
I stared at his eyes, trying to find a sign that he was lying. But then I remembered, when I dreamed that he had kissed me, I realized that it wasn’t a dream. My eyes widened. His heart must be broken because of me. He must hurt even more than me.
~Kai’s POV~
I had given up on not crying. There were streaks of tears on my cheeks. Minnie hesitated, then wiped my cheeks. “Kai oppa, don’t cry,” she said. I smiled weakly, my heart racing when she touched me. I wanted her to forget what had happened, for her heart to mend and for her to mind. I wanted to kiss her again, to have her soft lips on mine, and to run my hands through her smooth hair.
I pushed the temptations back, and instead I hugged her and put my chin on her head. We stayed in that position for a few minutes, before she lifted her head and stood up. “I better get going,” she said before waving and walking away.
I just sat on the couch for a few seconds, before jogging to her. I grabbed her hand, and she flinched slightly. “Hey, um, do you want to forget what happened for the rest of the day and go out instead?”
She looked up and nodded. “I’ve always wanted to go to Namsan tower.”
“You’ve never been there?” I asked in disbelief.
She shook her head. I grinned and said, “We’ll leave in 30 minutes.”
~Summer’s POV~
I looked at Sehun. “What am I going to do? He obviously likes Minnie, and he will never like me. I’m hopeless.”
Sehun stared at me. “Well, at least you have me and all your other oppas.”
I smiled, glad that there was Sehun to comfort me.
But I knew that Sehun’s love for me would only harm. He didn’t realize that I loved Kai as much as he loved me.
Like he heard my thoughts, Sehun said, “Summer. I don’t care who you love. I love you.”
I wiped away my tears, and looked sadly into his eyes. “I wish that-” I couldn’t continue my sentence. Both of us were too heartbroken. “I-I got to g-go.” I hugged Sehun again. “Thank you so much.”

I watched from the doorway, my tears shattering onto the ground.
