Dear Onew Ch. 5
5
It’s been a week since the rooftop thing and Minho was doing the best he can to avoid Onew. Yes, it was hard since they have almost all the classes together and Minho knew that it’s killing him not seeing the other. He was annoyed how Onew’s so dumb that he joins the classes two levels lower than his actual level. They stopped ‘tutoring’ each other and Minho decided to hire a professional piano teacher. Sure, he was learning and the tutor wasn’t as short tempered as Onew. But the piece was empty. His piece was hollow and his fingers were like programmed to press the right keys automatically. Unlike having lessons with Onew, there’s something that comes with his goal to pass the subject…what is it? Inspiration? Motivation? No, maybe the will to impress Onew and to convince him that he’s not stupid.
He doesn’t care if Onew now thinks that he’s just like one of those bitches that would make a scene. He doesn’t care if Onew think that he’s a stuck up nerd who thinks that if he plays hard to get, Onew would go after him. He doesn’t care. He just has to stay away from Onew. He has to or else, he will fall too deep into this shit.
Meanwhile, Onew was living his life like he usually does. He didn’t act differently. He was still that same rebel who doesn’t care if he repeats another year. Of course, he was afraid of the confiscation of his credit cards and taking away his apartment but, “What can I do if it’s fucking useless to attend that class?” was always Onew’s reason for failing. He thinks that he could survive even without his credit cards and apartment. He could go find himself a rich noona and make her spend her money on him. Then once she’s broke and she can’t provide him anymore, he’s off to find another. That would definitely work for him. After all, he’s cute and handsome.
These are the reasons why people think that Onew is a very cold hearted person. He never cares if the other is hurting as long as he’s getting what he wants. Minho never crossed his mind, excluding the times when his English teacher would tell him that he needs a tutor. But nothing was attached to the thought. No feelings were attached. Minho was just a simple thought that would become blurry and will soon disappear.
It’s sad how one can think of a person every hour of everyday even though he never crossed this person’s mind. Sad, but that’s just how things are in their case. Onew might be cold but he’s not blind or stupid. Of course, he knows that Minho was avoiding him. He knows that Minho was starting to develop feelings for him. He knows that he hurt the younger. He knows. He knows. He knows. But he chose not to care. He chose to look away and shrug it off.
But it’s also true that Onew is an opportunist. Once he sees an opportunity to take advantage of the weak for his own entertainment, he will grab it. That’s just how his mind works. He sees an opportunity to try someone new and try to add on his list of the people he made a fool of and it just so happens that Minho had something shiny and interesting in him that caught Onew’s attention.
A bastard.
One may say that’s what Onew is. How can he use something so sweet and innocent such as love to hurt someone?
Is Onew really that heartless?
