D is for Debonair
This might be the hundredth shop in the shopping mall Key and Taemin had entered. Taemin lost count at the tenth shop they entered. Shopping bags piling every single time, the debit and credit card continuously swiped, poor Onew hyung who have to carry the load, poor cards being scratched involuntarily.”Key hyung, let’s stop for awhile and have a drink, I bet Onew hyung is tired carrying the bags.”Taemin whines for mercy, and put forward his famous pout for extra effect, he just uses Onew as a reason, to tell the truth his legs are killing him as well, he don’t know how Key can muster all the walking.”Aigoo, my cutie baby, sure let’s stop for awhile. Poor baby.” Key,like usual couldn’t resist the Taepout and pinches Taemin chubby cheeks.”Key-ah, what about Onew baby? Onew said breathlessly, feeling awfully tired carrying the gazillion bags around.”That’s what boyfriends are for.”Key answered.”Taebaby, let’s find a nice a steakhouse for lunch, ok?”Key persuaded Taemin leaving Onew rolled his eyes in disbelief.”Yah Key,I want chicken.”Onew whines with a plastic cuteness which was completely ignored by Key.
~
They soon found a spot in a steakhouse. After placing their orders, they engaged in a small talk about how their weekends are running.”Taemin-ah, are you going to the ball, otherwise you wouldn’t follow me right? “Key asked obviously curious with Taemin’s sudden agreement to escort Key for yet another routine weekend shopping spree. Knowing Taemin for a quite a good amount of time ,Taemin wasn’t one who like to socialise in weekend days, he usually spent it in his own confinement of his apartment staying in with a good book .What puzzled Key more is at first Taemin rejected the invitation but soon Taemin called again telling him he would like to follow.”Oh, that, you see I might go to the ball tomorrow, and well, can I ask your help to dress me up for the ball?”Taemin said carefully choosing his words.”Oh,of course I will help you dearie,wait,isn’t the ball requires you to come with a date?”Key asked. As Taemin opened his mouth, he was stopped.”Wait, don’t tell me you’re dating and didn’t bother to share with your umma.”Key said sounded hurt, just being the comical Key he is; Key animatedly punched his chest lightly with hurt expression plastered on his face.”Oh,Onew, our son is all grown up.”Key wiped fake tears slipping from his eyes. Onew stared blankly completely unaware of anything.”So, who is it are taking you to the ball? “Key dreamily asked. ”Umm, it’s Choi Minho.”Taemin blurted out nervously while fiddling with the hem of his T-shirt unsure of Key’s reaction, avoiding any eye contact with Key afraid of Key’s expression. Onew spit out his water due to the sudden wave of shock.”Bwo, C-choi Minho?”Onew stutteringly muttered.”Ne, hyung, we’re not dating or something, it’s just a friend thing.”Taemin explained himself. That Kim Jonghyun and his sidekick Choi Minho better watch out if something happened to my brother’s heart. Soon, the food arrived, and the threatening subject was lifted off from the table.

Taemin was exhausted, enthralled from the shopping marathon. His wallet felt light as feather, his feet aching, and heart swelling with anticipation for tomorrow.
~
He fitted himself in a black short sleeve shirt, a black suit, a tight black skinny; he would’ve been man in black for the night if it wasn’t for the gold bow tie. His strawberry blonde hair neatly swept like usual. He got his house key and his invitation card before slipping into his polished Bally shoes. As he stepped outside his apartment, he debated whether to go or not. Half of his heart, he wanted to fulfil the invitation just for the heck of it, and the other half, he is as nervous as hell, his feet weren’t that light for ballroom dancing, he’s not really great in socialising. Maybe this is a step for a little twist in my life.
~
He was there already; waiting patiently in front of the tall mahogany door leading to the ballroom. He was clad in a smart black tuxedo, white long sleeve-shirt and a black bowtie to complete his look. His hair was swept and gelled into perfection. He kept glancing to his trusty wristwatch.8.30p.m.30 minutes late, maybe he won’t come. He entered the ballroom descending the grand marble staircase. Disappointment clearly painted on his face. He was greeted with sympathetic look from the OnKey couple.”I don’t think he’s coming.”Minho said with a slight twinge of hurt and disappointment in his voice.”Look again.”Key asked him so with an evil smile. Minho turned around and saw Taemin looking as breathtaking as ever in his suit and the gold bowtie emphasises his adorableness. Other eyes were all staring intently on Taemin’s entrance. Minho moved further to greet Taemin, but Jonghyun beat him to it. His feet were glued to the floor, he was puzzled. Why would Jonghyun do that?
~
“Jjong hyung, h-hai.” Taemin completely astounded with Jonghyun’s presence. Jonghyun was Taemin first crush, at one point, Taemin confessed and they started dating for awhile. But, it was an old history during their high school days, when they were young and foolish. They both moved on and they never keep in touch even though they’re both in the same university.”Can I have this dance?”Jonghyun asked with a smirk, feeling the intense stare from Minho that surely will burn holes in his back.All eyes were still glancing at the scene.”No, actually I wanted to share my dance with my date.”Taemin answered confidently eyeing Minho over Jonghyun’s shoulder. Taemin moved away from Jonghyun walking nearer to Minho.”Can I have this dance?”Taemin asked Minho while flashing a nervous smile.”I should’ve asked that to you. Yes,you can.”Minho answered,he felt happier now,when clearly he is leaving steps in Taemin’s heart.
~
They moved away from the crowd in the ballroom heading to a balcony. The ballroom slowly filled with the tune “Here I Am by 4Men.”
Here I am, In this place, Here I am
Here I am, In this place, I’m here.
Here I am, In this place, Here I am
Here I am, In this place, I’m here now
Even if it’s not enough
I’ll show how much I really love you
You may never know but
Here I am
Here I am, In this place, Here I am
Here I am ,In this place, I’m here.
Even if it’s not enough for me to show
How much I really love you
I’ll just wait for you in this place.
Even if you think it’s not enough, it’s fine
I’ll show how much I really love you
You may never know but
Here I am
You may never know, but Here I am
~
They both look at each other uneasily, urging one another to make the first move.”Shall we dance?”Minho asked breaking the ice.”I’m warning you, I’m not light on my feet.”Taemin said with a small laugh.”I’ll guide you.”Minho replied while wrapping his arms around Taemin’s small waist. They slowly moved in sync with Minho guiding Taemin, Taemin rested his head on Minho’s shoulder without realising. Minho smiled.”Is it a nice pillow there?”Minho joked. Taemin blushed and was about to moved his head from Minho’s shoulder.”It’s ok. Just leave it there.”Minho teases. It was an advantage for Minho; he can smell Taemin’s calming vanilla scent.”Do you have any history with Jonghyun hyung?”Minho asked obviously curious.”It was a puppy love, nothing too serious. But now, I left a space for another person to fill.”Taemin answered while inhaling Minho’s masculine scent. They drifted in the world where love was starting to bloom.
