Yunho's pov

We stayed in the arcade for a couple hours, playing games and having fun to our hearts content. We were still in our school uniforms, but we couldn't care less as we fooled around in the arcade.

"You payed for tokens, so let me pay for food," Mingi said, taking my hand in his and giving me puppy eyes.

"Min, you know I can't resist your puppy eyes," I whined, looking away from my friend slash soulmate.

  "Please," he asked, gently turning my face towards his. My cheeks flushed red as his did.

  "Are we about to kiss?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood a bit. Mingi's cheeks flushed even darker.

  "We could," he offered. My eyes widened.

  "Could we?" I asked, still teasing a bit but also wondering what it felt like to kiss him.

  "I'd want to kiss you when it's not in front of a thousand strangers," Mingi laughed, gently releasing my chin and taking my hand in his. I laced our fingers together and let him lead us to the food court.

   What was that? Was he serious?

I shook myself out of my thoughts and ordered my food after Mingi had. We sat down at a table and ate together, casually eating each other's food as well like we usually did.

  "How's Yuri? Is she still doing alright?" Mingi asked, then ate one of my fries. I groaned and shook my head.

  "She needs help with a math class I never took; algebra three."

  "I took it, remember? It got me out of pre calculus. I can help her out," Mingi offered.

  "Really? You wouldn't care to help her?"

  "Not at all! You know how much I care about your family," Mingi said. I smiled and nodded, thanking him and sipping my Coca-Cola.

 
  When we made it to my house, Mingi led the way inside like he was the one who lived here, which made me grin and follow him.

  "Mom, we're here!" I exclaimed, taking my shoes off. Mingi already had his off and was walking into the kitchen to talk to my mom.

  "Mingi, we can't just let you help Yuri for nothing! Let us pay you at least," my mom said. Mingi shook his head.

  "You guys are like my family; she's like my little sister too. I want to help her pass her class."

  "Alright, if you're sure. Thank you, Mingi," my mom said, hugging him sweetly. I smiled and watched the cute scene.

  "How often will you be helping her?" I asked once we had settled into my room an hour later. He had began helping Yuri already with her algebra work.

  "Right now she's having a lot of trouble with the past three lessons, so I'll be over as often as you'll let me. Just don't get tired of me so easily," Mingi said teasingly, rolling onto his side to look at me.

  "As if! You're my best friend! I can't get tired of having you here," I said, and noticed as both of us seemed to grow a little sad at my words.

  "Wanna watch a movie?" I asked. Mingi smiled and nodded. I grinned and turned on a new horror movie.

  "Yunho," Mingi whined, "I'll get scared!"

  "Guess you'll have to hold me," I shrugged, teasing him. I didn't expect him to latch himself onto me, throwing one leg over my hips and one arm around my waist.

  "Like this?" He teased back, laughing softly. He tried to pull away, but I held him to myself.

  "Yes," I said. Mingi allowed me to keep him close. I could feel him hide his face in my neck at the scarier scenes of the movie, making small smiles rise to my lips.

  Mingi's pov

"Like this?" I teased, holding closely onto my best friend. Yunho nodded.

"Yes." He held onto my leg and arm, gently caressing both. I smiled and would hide my face in his neck during the scary parts of the movie. Yunho seemed to not mind my face in his neck, so I did it often, enjoying the smell of his cologne that still remained.

"What are you doing? The movie is over now," Yunho said, gently running his fingers through my hair. I still had my face buried in his neck.

  "You smell nice.." I mumbled, not expecting him to hear me. When I heard nothing, I cleared my throat and pulled away from the way I held Yunho.

  "Mingi?" Yunho asked. I hummed in response, looking down at my hands.

  "Are you alright?" Yunho asked. I looked up and nodded, a small smile on my lips.

  "Why wouldn't I be?"
 
  "You had your face in my neck almost the whole time. Was it that scary to you?" Yunho asked.

  "Yeah. I think I might stay up here with you tonight," I said, smiling a bit as I noticed our strand was a beautiful cherry red between our fingers.

  "Do you see them too?" Yunho blurted so quickly I almost didn't understand him.

  "I do..." I nodded, a small frown on my lips, remembering I'm a divider.

  "That's awesome! I'm a Cupid too!" Yunho smiled, leaning down to cup my cheeks. When he noticed my frown, he paused.

  "Mingi?"

  "I'm not a Cupid, Yunho; I'm a divider. I found out on accident," I said. Yunho furrowed his brows and asked what I meant.

  "You remember how my parents were soulmates until three years ago, right?"

  Yunho nodded.

  "I tried to heal their graying strand, and instead I severed it. I cut my own parents' soul strand. It's my fault they're divorced now," I said, swallowing back tears.
