A Minsung story (Cover edit: Made by me)
~ "You deserve nothing! You don't deserve my trust. You never did."
Venom dripped from every single one of Minho's words, the poison of which rotted Jisung's heart.
"You deserve the world, and more. It is me...
Amidst the evening breeze swaying the twinkling lights of the garden lamps, the Chipmunk and the Prince sat on a wooden bench with a laptop placed on a small square table in front of them. The younger inserted a pendrive into the device before taking a brief glance at the brunet, whose nervous gaze of anticipation was fixed on the screen. The Prince's racing heart did find some comfort in the grounding presence of his Chipmunk.
"Should I?" The silver haired male asked earning a small nod from the older before he hit play.
A video started being displayed. Recorded by a dark haired man who resembled an older version of the Prince.
Lee Dong Wook.
"Minho-ah." The man in the video spoke, his voice gentle yet hesitant and ashamed.
The Chipmunk noticed the Prince roughly gulp down his anxiousness to maintain his composure as the video continued.
"I know you might not want to listen to whatever I say. And you are not wrong to feel that way. I have let you down more times than I can count. I have failed to protect you. I have failed as your appa. And honestly I don't know if I will be able to tell you all this even when I return from New York. I know I have hurt you several times. And it took me a long time to realise that. It finally struck me when you once asked if I hate you, how deep the wound my absence had left in your heart was. I didn't tell you this then, even though I should have...I do not hate you son. I hate myself for not being able to save your eomma. After she passed away, every time I would look at your face I got reminded of her, of the woman I couldn't protect. I was so occupied by my own loss that I didn't even try to see that you lost her too. Your eomma must be disappointed to see her dearest child, whom she wished nothing but happiness, so lonely, to see me leave you to be alone in your anger and sorrow. Inspite of watching you longing for your mother, I didn't do anything to comfort you. For I didn't how to do so when I myself longed for her as well. I thought if I put on a strong emotionless front, you would be able to lean on me. But my actions only pushed you away. The older you grew, the more distance there was between us. And now, I wonder if I will ever be able to cross that distance no matter how hard I try. But still, I must try." Tears of regret spilled out of Lee Dong Wook's eyes. "That's the least I can do for you.

Your father is a selfish jerk, so I am glad you took after your mother. You are as kind hearted as her Minho. Taking care of your little brother, taking care of the ones you love. I am sorry I haven't said this ever before but I will say it now, I am so proud of you, my son. You are my greatest treasure and I love you, always."
