Part 2 of Grief! 

Yunho stirred awake by his alarm, groaning before yawning and shoved his head under his pillow without turning off the blaring alarm, trying to go back to sleep. When he was about to fall asleep again, his room suddenly opened with a loud bang making him flinched in surprise.

"Yah! Wake the fuck up Jeong Yunho! Your alarm can be heard miles away!!" Wooyoung screeched after entering Yunho's room. He pounced on the taller on the bed making Yunho groan before trying to wiggle himself to make Wooyoung fall but Wooyoung stayed put by hugging the taller like a Koala.

"Get off!"

"Get up and I will! You have a class in one hour!!"

"Fine! I'll get up! Now get off me!" Yunho huffed and Wooyoung finally let him go but he had his hands on his hips and didn't move from where he was standing until Yunho rolled his eyes and went into his bathroom to get ready for his class.

"Don't skip your breakfast today too! Seonghwa had made some for you!" Wooyoung shouted before walking out of the room. Yunho huffed though he understood why Wooyoung did that. He had made everyone around him worried after Mingi's death 5 months ago and after that day where he tried to jump off of the rooftop and that bird that he was sure was Mingi's doing, he decided to try again to live his life.

Yunho was doing his assignment on his laptop in one of the campus' cafes when someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey? Can I sit with you? It's just that every table is occupied but I want to finish my assignment. It's fine if you want to be alone though." Yunho stopped typing as he heard the slightly familiar voice and looked up at the person with wide eyes.

"M-mingi?!"

"Huh? Do you know me? I never saw you before though? I just got transferred here a week ago."

Yunho blinked and wet his lips before asking again, "I-is your name Lee Mingi?"

"Ahh, no. I'm Song Mingi. Do I look like this Lee Mingi or something?"

Yunho nodded dumbly and Mingi raised one of his eyebrows at Yunho. "Really? And His name is Mingi too?" Yunho nodded again as Mingi slowly nodded his head. "Well I guess there are really 10 doppelgangers in this world then." Mingi smiled and Yunho only gave him a small sad smile.

"I think it's 9 now.."

Mingi blinked before he caught on what Yunho tried to say. "Oh.. I'm so sorry for your loss. Am I making you uncomfortable? I can just go. It's fine." Mingi was about to walk away from him when Yunho tugged on his sleeve. "N-no! It's fine! You can sit here with me! I don't mind! Really!"

"..If you say so. Excuse me then." Mingi sat right across Yunho and pulled out his laptop from his backpack, putting it on the table as Yunho watched him quietly. "Where were you transferred from?" Yunho blurted out before widening his eyes. "O-oh sorry.. I won't bother you if you want to do your assignments." Mingi smiled, shaking his head. "Nah, it's okay. I'm quite used to talking while doing assignments. To answer your question, I was transferred from Jeju. I was born here though in Incheon. My mom nagged at me because I went to university in Jeju and she finally persuaded me to transfer back here."

"I see. Okay. Welcome to KQ University then! I'm a Creative Media major. What about you?"

"I'm a Medical major."

Yunho widened his eyes in awe making Mingi blushed a little as he shyly smiles at Yunho. "Really?? A future doctor then! Maybe I could go to you after you become one!" Yunho beamed up before he frowned a bit. Why am I being so talkative today..? Is it because Mingi looked like Min? I shouldn't think that he could replace Min though.. That would be wrong.. Yunho thought as Mingi nodded his head, chuckling a little. "I'll be waiting then but I hope just for a minor sickness and health checkup though."

Yunho laughed sheepishly, nodding his head and clears his throat. "Well, I'm not going to bother you anymore. Go ahead and finish your assignment. I have to do mine too."

Mingi smiled and continued his assignment quietly.

Yunho however, couldn't concentrate on his assignment at all. He kept glancing over to Mingi and watched him doing his assignment with so much focus that he didn't realize that Yunho was watching him.

Yunho smiled when Mingi stuck the tip of his tongue out sometimes as the latter concentrated on his assignment. Yunho put a hand under his chin as he watched Mingi quietly, already giving up on finishing his assignment at the moment. He looks so much like Min but so different at the same time. Mingi's voice is deeper than Min too. It's endearing. Yunho thought, smiling cutely as he watched him.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." Mingi smirked without looking up at Yunho, making Yunho gaped and blushed before hiding his face in his arms that he had folded on the table. Mingi chuckled at the display before reaching over to Yunho and ruffled his hair lightly. "Are you okay... Wait, I still don't know your name." Mingi started making Yunho mumble his name without looking up.

"What was that?" Mingi blinked and Yunho finally looked up, huffing and pouting as his face was still red.

"My name is Jeong Yunho."

"Ahh, are you okay, Yunho?"

"No. I pretty much want to dig a hole and stay in it forever." Yunho pouted, making Mingi chuckled.

"It's okay. I don't mind." Mingi said but Yunho only wails again. "But I'm not! I thought you were not aware of me watching you! This is so embarrassing!"

"Well, you could treat me next time?" Mingi tried and Yunho widened his eyes. "Y-you're fine with it?"

Mingi frowned at Yunho's question. "Why wouldn't I?"

"You know.. Because I told you that you looked like my deceased boyfriend.. I don't want to make you feel awkward or think that I only want to know you because you could replace him or something."

Mingi hummed, "Well, do you? Are you trying to replace your Mingi with me?"

Yunho quickly shook his head, "No, I don't want to replace you with my Mingi. You might look the same as him but you are certainly not him."

"Then it's not a problem for us to be friends for now." Mingi smiled softly. Yunho blushed again when he saw Mingi smile at him and nodded his head. "O-okay then. I'll treat you. When and where?" Yunho asked and Mingi hummed, tapping his chin.

"How about this Saturday? I have classes for the whole week and my weekends are off. For the place, you could choose. I'm fine with anything."

Yunho nodded his head and blinked when Mingi gave his phone to him before tilting his head at Mingi. "Give me your number so we could text and all." Mingi chuckled and explained when he saw how confused Yunho is right now. Yunho blushed at the realization and quickly put his number in Mingi's phone. Mingi then called Yunho so he would know his number as well.

Yunho smiled and saved Mingi's number, putting his name as Song Mingi before Mingi pouted when he saw it.

"Song Mingi? Isn't that too formal? I put your name as Yuyu in my contact just now."

Yunho blinked at Mingi and bit his lips when he found Mingi's pout very endearing, unlike his Min who usually will never pout or act cute because he felt like he needs to be cool all the time. "Uhh.. Then what do you want me to save your name as..?" Yunho asked and Mingi tilted his head, thinking for a while before he beamed up. "Minmin!"

Yunho giggled, nodding his head and changed Mingi's name before showing it to Mingi. Mingi giggled, satisfied and they talked for the rest of the afternoon before they had to go their own way for their classes but both have a small soft smile for the entire day.

"Are you sure about this, pup?" Seonghwa asked him carefully that night when Yunho excitedly told Hongjoong, Seonghwa and Wooyoung about Mingi. Yunho tilted his head in confusion. "Why? What do you mean?"

"Are you replacing him with Mingi? Because it will end badly." Hongjoong explained further.

"You need to think this through, pup. I don't want you to be upset later and your heart broken again." Wooyoung continues making Yunho pursed his lips into a thin line, thinking carefully on how to explain it to them.

"I know he looks like Min, but he's 100% not Min. Their voices, their personality and even their clothes preferences are very different. Quite the opposite of each other. It's not like we want to date right away, it's just that I'm very happy with him and want to be his friend for now." Yunho explained.

"Does he know that he looks like Mingi?" Seonghwa asked further and Yunho nodded his head.

"Yes, he does and he already asked me if I'm trying to befriend him because of him or just trying to replace him with Min. I already told him that they are very different with each other and that I am not replacing him."

"Well, if that's the case, then it's fine. Maybe Mingi sent him for you." Wooyoung said and Yunho smiled softly.

The 'date' went great and they kept seeing each other afterwards. Yunho also brought Mingi to meet with his other friends, including Yeosang, San and Jongho. All of them were skeptical at first but after sitting with Mingi and talked with him, they knew that Yunho was right. He's very different from Lee Mingi and they actually hoped that this Song Mingi could actually help Yunho with his broken heart.

--

After 5 months of being friends, Mingi finally asked Yunho out when they were chilling at Mingi's apartment. Yunho blinked and all of Lee Mingi's memories flooded through him. The pain that he had been through when they found that Lee Mingi had cancer, the pain of seeing his boyfriend on the hospital bed, the pain of losing him, making Yunho tremble and hyperventilate.

Mingi saw this and quickly went to Yunho, stroking his hair gently while whispering sweet nothing for him to calm down. Yunho cried, hard. He relishes all the things, all the pain while being in Mingi's embrace and Mingi let him, rocking their body in a gentle sway until Yunho stopped crying.

Yunho lay his head on Mingi's shoulder, exhausted after his breakdown and softly mumbled, "I'm s-sorry.."

"It's alright. Are you okay? How do you feel right now?"

"It's n-not that I d-don't want you M-minmin.. I'm.."

"Afraid?" Mingi said and Yunho nodded his head, making Mingi sighed softly and pulled Yunho closer, running his hand on Yunho's back gently.

"I know. It's okay. If you want to take things slow, we can do it. I don't mind. I could wait."

"I j-just don't want you to b-be gone as w-well.."

Mingi chuckled before pulling away for a bit, pinching Yunho's mochi cheeks making the latter pout.

"I don't have any life-threatening disease, Yuyu. Not to mention, I'm a future doctor as well and had been checking my health occasionally every 3 months. I won't be going anywhere any time soon." Mingi explained and Yunho slowly nodded his head.

"M'sorry.. I was just paranoid I guess.."

"As I said, it's okay. You have been going through so much and I just want to help you heal."

Yunho pouted, making Mingi tilted his head.

"What?"

"You asked me out just so I could heal? Not because you love me?"

Mingi laughed and bumped his forehead gently on Yunho's forehead. "Of course I love you, baby. I won't ask you out if I don't love you and if I just want to help heal you, I could do it as a doctor. What I meant is, I want to heal your broken heart by being your lover and give you lots and lots of love to the point that you could finally let Lee Mingi go."

Yunho blushed at his stupid question and blushed even harder when Mingi kissed him softly on the lips. Yunho sighed softly and deepened the kiss and not a single memory about Lee Mingi came and Yunho knew that he would heal.

With the help of a future doctor and his now lover, Song Mingi.

Lee Mingi smiled as he watched Yunho cuddle with Mingi and knew that his job was now done. Someone else is taking care of his bub and he knows that his bub will be just fine.
