Minho went back that day securing his precious “art project” in a black canvas bag, Taemin insisted to keep all the eyes sketches. After escorting Taemin back to his apartment and protectively watching him enter the lift, he headed home, dancing and humming to a seemingly happy tune. By the time, he arrived at his apartment, the sky were already a plethora of swirling bright orange and yellow. The red giant is about to head back to its resting place. After placing his sneakers at the shoe rack next to the front door ,Jonghyun who was seating on the couch at the living room stared at sceptically ,interested in knowing how a certain Choi Minho were grinning ear to ear without a single whine about his day. Minho went pass Jonghyun still humming his happy song, he was about to enter his room when he greeted Jonghyun.”Hey hyung, have you eaten dinner?”Minho asked while standing at the door frame.”No.”Jonghyun gave him a short answer while his eyes were analysing Minho from head-to-toe making sure this is his dongsaeng and not someone else, his stern analysis stopped at the sight of a black canvas bag. Jonghyun lifted an inquisition eyebrow. Minho who was flabbergasted realised that Jonghyun’s eyes never left the black bag.”Hyung, it’s nothing just some project, I’ll cook dinner tonight.”Minho answered before disappearing into the depth of blackness of his room. Even though, he’s not himself today it doesn’t matter at least I don’t have to cook dinner.

“Hyung, dinner’s ready!”Minho shouted from the kitchen. This wasn’t a normal sight, seeing Choi Minho, the charismatic school football player wearing an apron.”Coming!”Jonghyun shouted back, starting a slow pace walking to their small dining room. Steaming kimchi jiggae was the menu for tonight.Due to his stomach constant grumbling and lack of persistence on Jonghyun side. He touched the side of the hot bowl of kimchi jiggae resulted a stinging burn.”Ouch!”He shouted on top of his lung.”Yah, Minho is the ointment in your room?”Jonghyun shouted constantly wincing in pain.”Yeah, on top the night stand.”Minho shouted back. Jonghyun walked to Minho’s room only to be receiving a shock. A 30 x 20" size canvas was hanging opposite the door. His brain was racking hard to recognise the figure on the painting. Taemin, no wonder that boy is so happy today.Minho came running to his room checking whether his hyung found the ointment or not,he saw Jonghyun standing at the door frame inspecting the painting opposite the door intently. He tapped his hyung’s shoulder.”Hyung, are you OK?”Minho asked worriedly. Jonghyun turned to face Minho.”You like that kid a lot don’t you?”Jonghyun asked wanting a reply.”Not just like maybe love.”Minho answered proudly.”Take care of him would you ,and ask him to the football match tomorrow?”Jonghyun answered. Jonghyun sometimes can be the self-centred hyung, and sometimes being out of character, taking care of his dongsaengs.

After dinner, Minho retreated back to his room intently at Taemin’s painting in his room, he felt he’s with him. I wonder what he is doing now. He took his hand phone from the night stand, juggling his hand phone, trying to decide whether to call or not to call. After mustering up a whole lot of courage, he dialled the first number on his speed dial just because Taemin is important.
Hey, am I disturbing you? Minho relaxes his head on the headboard.
No, not all. I needed a company anyway.
Oh, sadly tomorrow I can’t come for our usual breakfast.
Nah, it’s ok. We could meet at campus anyway right? Taemin said a little sad, the one thing he was looking forward before facing the stressful day as a university student is having breakfast Minho.
See you tomorrow then, I have some works to finish. Taemin said running away from the awkwardness. Talking in the phone wasn’t as comfortable as in a real conversation.
Yeah. Good Night Taeminnie. Minho said, it’s just when he called Taemin all the billion things he wanted to say to him had just been blocked out. After the call ended, he quickly called Key and Onew for arrangement of his next plan.
Lee Taemin, you’re going to be the death of me. Minho doze of that night while staring intently on the painting, anticipating for his plan tomorrow to work.

Taemin headed to his locker the next morning feeling unmotivated. He had his daily dose of sugary treat; still it wasn’t enough for him. He drowsily opened his locker, arranging his books in his bag. Key arrive hand-in-hand with his Onew hyung looking gleeful as ever.”Omo, Taeminnie baby, what happened to you, this is so not you.”Key shrieked in horror.”Nah, I don’t know either, I guess I just felt tired.”Taemin answered in distressed.”Maybe, this letter will make your day a little better.”Key handed Taemin a rectangle-shaped sunflower yellow coloured card.”Who is this from? Taemin asked curiously.”I don’t know myself.”Key answered plastering good acting skills. Taemin flipped to the part where evidently a note was written in bright orange.
Sunshine shines all day
You’re sunshine when you smile.
Without your smile, there’s no sunshine.
My world is gloomy.
-Your secret admirer-
True. The note left a remarkably big smile on his face. If only he knows who send it, he wanted to send a bouquet of flowers and strings of thank you’s for that person for lifting his mood.

With the simple note as his beckon of smile, his boring classes pass swiftly. It was about lunch time now, Taemin walked back to his locker withdrawing some books and inserting it with new ones. He opened his locker to be revealed with a medium-sized chocolate paper bag with the logo of his usual destination of breakfast. He retrieved the paper bag, peeking in there were his favourites, two Sweet Tooth cupcakes and a warm cup of cappuccino. He turned the paper bag around trying to find any notes sticking on it written in pink.
I don’t mind making your teeth rotten
My teeth gone rotten too
Because you’re my cotton candy
-Your secret admirer-
This one has the same handwriting as before. Taemin smiled helplessly with this admirer’s sweetness, it’s just too mushy and warm. He wondered who it is. He skipped along with the chocolate paper bag merrily heading to his group of friends.

The last class of the day just ended, Taemin went back to his locker before heading to the library. He was somehow hoping the admirer will emerges from its shell and say hey to him. He needlessly wanted to thank the person for how he/she saved his day and making him smile goofily in every class absentmindedly doodling hearts and clouds in his note book. He opened his locker for the final time today; he was greeted with a piece of ticket for the football game tomorrow. Minho hyung,it was him. It should be him.”Hyung, you don’t need to hide behind the wall.”Taemin said. Minho who was hiding behind the wall was astounded his presence were sense. Minho walked closer to Taemin.”How do you know I was behind the wall?”Minho asked while scratching his head.”Just call it sixth sense.”Taemin answered smirking at Minho.”So, what do you say, are you coming to the game tomorrow?”Minho asked anticipating Taemin’s answer.”I don’t know.”Taemin joked, but Minho thought it was serious.”Never mind then.”Minho said before walking away from Taemin. Taemin let out a small laugh and quickly ran to Minho and encircled Minho’s waist with his arms. Minho turned stiff, shocked with the sudden touch.”Thanks for the note, thanks for the cupcakes and thanks for the smiles you put in my face today.”Taemin said laying his head on Minho’s back.”No problem.”Minho asked, lost at words.”You know,you could’ve just asked me.”Taemin replied.”I prefer to make it more special, especially if it’s for you.”Minho answered, later he covered his mouth realising he accidently more or less confessed to Taemin. Taemin who find Minho’s back a comfortable place replied;”Just make sure your girlfriend don’t listen to that.””Taemin-ah,I don’t have a girlfriend, I’m waiting for someone for about a year now.”Minho answered.”Why wouldn’t you confess to that person then?”Taemin asked innocently. If it was that easy.
