Summary: True love is the best feeling in the world. It's surprising that something so pure and good can cause so much pain. I thought we'd be together forever as cliche as it may sound. But there were other plans and you were taken away from me. The days keep on passing and the pain is still here, slowly eating away at me. It hurts to look at him sometimes because he's the last thing I have of you. I told myself that I'd never fall in love again. That no one could compare to you. My heart belongs to just you. I don't know when it happened though, but I think I might be falling in love with someone else. I feel like I'm betraying you. I'm sorry, could you ever forgive me?
I loved you, I really did. I never knew I was nothing to you, but a substitute to your ex-girlfriend. It hurt me, but I guess I have to let you, let you find another true love so that you can truly be happy. I will never forget the way we met, how sweet you once were to me. I loved you, I still do now. But sometimes, you've to let go of someone you really love, so that he experience the true love you're experiencing while you're with him.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
TAEMIN POV
During lunch, I was being bombarded with questions by Key Umma. He wouldn't stop asking me for details, and he still wanted to me Jjong.
After a while, I noticed a little change in Minho's expression. I couldn't help but think he felt a little uneasy.. But maybe I was thinking too much.
To be honest, I don't think he meant it when he confessed to me that day. Probably he just said it because... he was really confused that day with so much things happening? I.. I don't know, really.
*~*
Jonghyun picked me up after school, and we were standing by his car while waiting for Key. His arms were around my waist. People walking past us were staring at Jjong. And he just smiled.
"Why are those people staring at you, like, seriously!?" I pouted and stared at those people.
"You can't blame your boyfriend for being so good looking... Can you?" he used his index finger and thumb to raise my chin, for me to look at him.
"Ew." I frowned, then giggled a little.
"How was school today?" he asked.
"Pretty fine, as usual." I smiled.
"Hmmm.. I missed you." he pecked me on the nose.
"I miss you too."
"YAH KIM JONGHYUN WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO MY SON?!" Key walked in a fast pace towards us with an angry expression.
I freed myself from Jonghyun's arms and walked towards Key.
"Umma!"
"Hey baby boy. Now tell umma, did this dinosaur just harassed you?"
"Umma! He's my boyfriend!"
"That doesn't mean he can kiss you in public!"
"Hi Key, I'm Kim Jonghyun. I've heard about you from Taemin. It's glad meeting you for the first time." I was too busy arguing to Key to notice that Jonghyun has walked towards us. He held his hand out towards Key, waiting for him to shake.
Key frowned and looked at him. "Kim Kibum, Key." Key shook his hand. I smiled.
"So, are you going to take care of my baby?" Key continued asking.
"Of course I am. Or else I wouldn't have asked him to be my boyfriend." Jonghyun walked to me and wrapped his arms around my waist again. I looked up at him into his eyes. Those big eyes, filled with love.
"You seem like a good guy... You've hurt my baby Tae once when you guys were young already. Don't you dare to hurt him once more I tell you! Or else, you'll DIE!"
"Umma! Stop scaring him like that! Jjongie is a good guy!" I frowned.
"My baby, it's good to be careful!"
"Umma!"
"Minnie, Key is just worried about you," he stroked my cheek before turning to Key again. "Don't worry, Key. I'll love Taemin like a good boyfriend would. If I do anything wrong, do not hesitate to do whatever you want to me. I want Taemin to be happy too."
"That's more like it." Key smiled before his expression changed again. "OMO! WHAT TIME IS IT NOW?!"
I looked at my watch. "3.15pm."
"OMONA! I promised Jinki I'm gonna meet him at 3pm in the library! Gotta go now! Be careful Tae! Take care of him you Kim Jonghyun!" he started running towards the library. "Bye!"
"So... where do we go now?" I turned to Jonghyun and asked.
"I'm hungry..." he replied.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Can I have you?" he smirked.
"YAH!" I blushed immediately and hit him in the chest (lightly). Jonghyun is my first boyfriend, and I've never experienced such stuffs before. So I thought it was pretty normal for me to blush and most of the stuffs he did.
"Hehe, you're cute when you blush!" he said and leaned towards me to kiss me. I responded to his kiss and enjoyed myself in it. We kissed for a while, I don't know how long - I always lost myself in his kisses - then we heard someone clearing his throat beside us. Jonghyun and I broke away from the kiss and we turned towards the voice.
It's Minho.
"Hi, Taemin." he said.
"Hey, erm, hi." I blushed. He saw us kissing!
"Sorry for interrupting but.. yeah. I just wanted to return this to you. I saw that you were rushing out of class just now during the last lesson so I didn't call out for you. I was intending to return it to you yesterday but.. yeah. I just saw you so I thought I should return it to you first."
I looked at the notes he was holding. "Gosh this important for me! Thank you so much! I need this for the class test the day after tomorrow! Thanks hyung!" I bowed.
Then, another person cleared his throat. It was Jonghyun this time round.
"Sorry baby. Erm, this," I looked at Minho. "is Minho," I pondered for a while. "My classmate."
"Hi, I assume you're Jonghyun, Taemin's boyfriend?" Minho smiled. It was a bit forced.
"Duh. Didn't you see us kissing just now?" Jonghyun replied curtly.
"Hyung!" I said. Both of them looked at me, then I realised, I address both of them as hyung. I blushed a little, then turned to look at Jonghyun. "Don't be so rude!"
I then turn to Minho and I see him looking kinda disappointed. "Hey Minho.. hyung. Thanks for the notes. I.. Jonghyun and I gotta go now. Thanks again, bye!" I bowed and pulled Jonghyun towards the car. We were quite a distance away from it already after Key came. Minho smiled a little then walked off.
"Who is he?" Jonghyun asked.
"I told you he's my classmate!"
"He looks like he has some motive for being so close to you, urgh."
"He doesn't! He's a nice guy, you know." I smiled.
"Yah, I'm jealous."
I laughed at kissed Jonghyun on the cheeks before opening the car door and sit inside. Jonghyun had the right to be jealous. I might have some feelings for Minho. But if so, what was my feelings for Jonghyun? Because the feelings I have for Jonghyun, isn't the same as what I have for Minho.
MINHO POV
It was kind of awkward seeing them kiss like that. I mean I don’t think I should have stood there as long as I did before clearing my throat, but I was just shocked. You don’t really see people make out like that in public very often. I barely kissed HeRan in public, I found kissing to be a very personal thing not something to be on display for the world to see.
But seeing Taemin kissing his boyfriend told me that it would be best if I stopped liking him. The intensity of it clearly showed their love for one another and I can’t compete with that. I just met him not too long ago, they’ve known one another for years. Better to give it before anything really starts. Before I could really get hurt.
Eventually I do what I came to do. I return Taemin’s notes to him and there’s a little bit of awkwardness between the three of us. Jonghyun doesn’t seem to like me. He seemed to be on guard the entire time I was standing there. Did he have a reason to be threatened by me? I was just a ‘classmate’ apparently which kind of upset me more than it should have. I thought Taemin considered me to be a friend, but I was demoted to a mere classmate. I shake my head clear and begin to walk to the daycare to pick up my son.
“Appa!” he yells to me when he sees me enter the classroom. He runs on wobbly legs, he was growing so fast these days, and into my open arms.
“Hey sport!” I say and pucker my lips for a kiss. He smiles and leans forward a little too roughly to kiss me. Our foreheads knock against each other and I feel a slight sting.
“Ouch,” he laughs, rubbing his forehead before rubbing mine as well.
“Appa has an owie Chungie.”
“Mianhe appa. Chungie will kiss it to make it better,” he’s more careful this time as he kisses my forehead before rubbing it again.
“What about Chungie? Does he have an owie too?”
“No. I’m a big boy!”
“Are you now?”
“Yes.”
“Well then, does the big boy want to get a snack before going home?”
“Yes please!”
“Okay,” I set him down on the ground again, “Go say bye to your teacher and get your backpack.”
“Okay!” he runs over to get his backpack first, slipping his arms through the holes and then goes to his teacher. I wave when she turns to face me and she smiles. Chungie hops back over to me with a big smile on his face, “I’m ready! Let’s go get a snack!”
“Okay,” I hold out my hand and he grabs onto it, “What do you want to get?”
“Ice cream!”
“If you promise not to tell halmoni about it,” we walk out of the building and I start to lead us to the local ice cream parlor.
“Promise!”
“Well then ice cream it is.”
“Yay! Chungie gets ice cream!” I can’t help but laugh at his excitement. This is the happiest I’ve seen him in days.
“Why are you so happy today Chungie?”
“Umma came to visit me today. I haven’t seen her in a long, long time and she came to play with me for a little bit during school.”
“Really? What did umma say?”
“Oops, Chungie not talk about umma to appa,” he says as we enter the shop.
“It’s okay Chungie, appa asked so you can talk about her.”
“No, Chungie can’t. Chungie made yaksok with umma not to talk about her.”
“It’s okay.”
But he’s not paying attention to me anymore. He’s standing on his tippy toes, trying to get a look at the display of ice creams. I laugh and pick him up. I lean forward a little so he can really look at all the flavors.
“Hi! What can I get for you today?” the helper behind the counter asks us.
“Which one do you want Chungie?” I ask.
“I want that one!” he says, pointing to the strawberry ice cream.
“Okay,” I turn to the girl, “Can I have a kid’s scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cup and a scoop of chocolate in a cup as well?”
“Sure thing,” she gets our ice cream ready and we meet her at the register. I set Chunghee back on the ground so I can pay and carry our ice creams.
“Thank you,” I tell her and she just smiles before going to help the next customer, “Where do you want to sit?
“By the window.”
“Well then lead the way,” I follow my son to en empty table right in front of the window. I place our ice cream down on the table and then help him get into the chair. He has to sit on his knees to be able to see over the table, I pull my chair closer to him and then sit down myself. I keep one arm around him while we begin to eat our ice cream.
“Thank you appa,” he says to me after taking his first bite.
“You’re welcome Chungie. Can appa try too?” I lean over and open my mouth.
“Ne,” he takes a scoop of his ice cream and feeds it to me.
“That’s good. Do you want to try appa’s?”
“No.”
“Okay.”
We eat in silence, watching the people that pass by the window. Surprisingly, he gets most of the ice cream into his mouth and not all over his face and clothes. Two people across the street immediately catch my attention. They’re holding hands and laughing with one another. They look so happy together. I let out a defeated sigh and suddenly I don’t feel like eating ice cream anymore. I leave my spoon with my half eaten ice cream as I continue to watch the couple. It’s only when I realize that they’re making their way here that I decide it’s time to go. I look at Chunghee and thankfully he’s done.
“Ready to go?” I ask him. Taking a napkin to wipe his face and he nods at me. I help him off the chair and grab our trash. I wanted to get out of here before they came and I glance behind me to see that they weren’t that far away. They’d be here in a few minutes. I quickly throw our garbage away and pick Chunghee up. I start to speed walk to the exit, but just my luck, I open one door just as Jonghyun is opening the other for Taemin.
“Hey hyung,” Taemin says to me and we briefly exchange glances, “Long time no see.”
“Uh huh,” and that’s all I say before rushing out. I can briefly hear Jonghyun ask who the kid I was carrying was. I wonder if Taemin will tell him. Not like it really mattered to me. I can’t control whether or not people tell the truth about my son.
“Appa?” he says to me.
“Hm?”
“Can we go to the park before going home?”
“No, not today. Appa has a lot of homework to do. Maybe tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
“Chungie?”
“Ne.”
“What did umma tell you when you saw her today?”
