RATING: PG-13 to NC-17 depending on the chapter...
SUMMARY: Lee Taemin isn't a normal 17 year old boy. The death of his family has given him a new insight to life, and he is on a mission to change the world. However, he didn't plan on falling in love with Choi Minho, his favourite Korean idol, who loves him more than life itself. But which is more important to him: Being with the one man who can give him a second chance of having a family, or his dream to make the world a better place? If only he could have both...
A/N: A lot of people were looking forward to the smut in this chapter :) Hehehe read on and see what happens :D
Taemin POV
"Taemin, meet manager hyung."
"Nice to meet you!" I bow to him.
"Taemin! My boy, nice to finally meet you." He says patting me on the back. He then puts one arm around my shoulder, and the other around Minho's. "Today, you boys are going to make history."
I smile nervously while Minho lets out a chuckle.
"Okay SHINee we need you for make-up!" I hear from across the room.
"Oh, that's me. See you in a bit Taemin. Don't get in to trouble while I'm gone!"
"Don't worry Minho I'll take care of him!!" Manager hyung tells him. When Minho's out of sight he turns back to me. "So Taemin, you must be a bit lost."
"Lost? A bit, I guess."
"Don't worry, this is why we have rehearsals. Let me talk you through it, follow me."
I follow him towards the stage, which is full of staff prepping it for the rehearsal.
"First of all, SHINee's going to perform Lucifer - which should really get the crowd pumped. Then your speech is the next. And umm, do you need to rehearse that? We're a bit short on time."
"Oh, no I don't need a rehearsal."
"Okay that's great. I knew we picked a winner when we picked you." When they picked me? "Okay and then SHINee is going to join you on stage, and we'll announce the concert. Don't worry the presenters have the cue cards, just smile and nod along. Though they may ask you a question or two about it. But I've seen you interview, you know what you're doing. You with me so far?"
"Yeah, sounds simple enough."
"Good. Next we're making your relationship public," he says casually, as if he's not dropping a huge bomb on me.
"Wait, we're announcing it right here?"
He looks annoyed at being interrupted. "Yes, right here. When do you want to do it, tomorrow? You're going to london tomorrow. When did you think we were going to do it?"
Personally I thought that after being in public for a while rumours would start to pop up, and then SM would confirm them. I didn't know we were going to announce it like this. "Well, I just thought, do we have to do it now?"
"Taemin there's no better time. If we're going to announce the concert today, we need to create a giant buzz. What better way to advertise than to announce that our own SHINee's Minho is dating Taemin - the wonder from London who's on a mission to change the world. This is priceless, it's going to be great."
He looks at my face, which is in a big frown at the moment. Why didn't I think of this? Of course the only reason they'd announce our relationship would be for a popularity gimmick.
"Aww come on Taemin, Minho said he'd convince you to do it."
Minho…. did you know about this? You knew that they wanted to use our relationship to advertise a concert?
As if reading my mind, manager hyung adds "It's for your own benefit Taemin. We're paying you tons if money for your appearance in our concert. But you're worth it. Within the short time that you've been in Korea, you've created a massive gathering."
Paying me money? "You're not paying me. I thought the money was going for my 'Hope is around the corner' cause!"
"Yeah, but you get to keep as much of it as you want. You're going to be a rich man. And SHINee is going to become more popular than any other idol group with you by their side, by Minho's side." he says, smiling at me.
It finally sinks in. How could I be so stupid? Of course this concert isn't for me. Why would SM entertainment dedicate their whole concert to a charity they don't even care about. Minho really made me believe that he convinced them that I was a worthy cause, but I guess they didn't need much convincing. The idea of my whole project being used as a popularity stunt makes me feel sick to my stomach.
"Taemin are you okay? You don't look that great…"
I don't say anything. I feel completely numb.
"You should sit down. We don't want you falling off stage, especially since you'll he dancing."
"What? Dancing?"
"Yeah. Jonghyun told us what a great dancer you are. Then Key and Onew confirmed it. Minho said he'd tell you about it. I can see from your face that he didn't. Ugh, that boy has his head in the clouds. Anyway you can just freestyle a bit can't you? We want to give the audience a preview of what's to come at the concert. The whole staff think 'Taemin's dance solo' is going to be the highlight of the whole night. Pretty amazing right?"
Just then, the four SHINee members come out from the dressing room in their Lucifer outfits.
"Ahh there are my boys. Okay for this performance you guys are going to…"
Minho slips away from the huddle that they're forming and runs to me. "Hey Taemin, everything okay?"
He looks like a completely different person to me now. "Yeah, fine."
"Did he talk you through the rehearsal?"
"He sure did."
"Everything fine?" he asks nervously.
"Yep."
"MINHO GET IN HERE! OR YOU WON'T BE IN THE PERFORMANCE!" Manager hyung shouts at Minho.
"Coming! Well we're going to rehearse Lucifer first, then you come on stage when the cue guy cues you. Don't worry you'll get the hang of it. See you out there." He smiles at me, before hurrying to catch up on what manger hyung was telling the other boys.
I stand there, trying to process all of the information that I just received in this short span of time.
"You okay honey? You look a bit pale…" says a female staff member to me. "You want me to put some make-up on you?"
"Um, no thanks." I smile at her. "I'm just going to the bathroom."
"Okay, hurry back."
I run towards the bathroom, but I don't stop there. I run past the bathroom, right out the entrance of the building. I call a taxi, telling him to take me home.
Thoughts run through my head as I try and clarify what just happened in there. How could Minho do this to me? After everything that I told him. After I told him how important this concert is to me. He pretended like he cared. I mean, maybe he does. Maybe he wasn't just pretending. But then why did he lie to me? Why didn't he tell me that I had to dance? That's a pretty important issue to leave out. I can understand why he didn't. He can't exactly say "Yeah Taemin people care about your cause, but only if you dance for them."
He should have known that I wouldn't want to do it. I spent ages talking to him about how happy I was that people were going to start caring about REAL things. Not stupid men dancing around in tight clothes. Ugh, what was I thinking dating an idol. People like Minho don't just randomly start liking people like me. There's always a motive. And his was popularity. He was using me this whole time. Was anything he told me real? I think back to things that he's said to me, that made me believe he was different:
"Listen, if you ever need somebody to talk to, or if you need a friend, or just a shoulder to cry on. I'm here." - he said that right after my first broadcast, when I first met him. I was crying in his arms, but I remember how those simple words gave me the strength I needed to carry on.
"You're not alone, you have me. I'm going to be here for you." - this he told me when I found him waiting for me on my doorstep that day. I remember being scared that he thought of me as a charity case, and just felt sorry. He convinced me to change my mind. He made me think he actually had feelings for me. That he loved me.
Tears fall from my eyes when I remember how I told him I love him too. What was I saying? Why did I allow myself to get caught up in all of this? I feel like such an idiot. He even took me to a damn animal shelter and pretended he cared about endangered animals. He used me. All of them did. Even Jonghyun, after how much I helped him. He's the one who suggested I dance. Key and Onew are the ones who convinced me that Minho liked me. All of them were in on it together. What kind of people are they? But what's even worse - how could I let myself fall for it? Idols are all the same, they only think about their popularity, and their hair. I won't let anyone change my mind this time.
My thoughts quickly move to Jaebeom. Look how Jonghyun is lying to him. He's pulling Jaebeom in to a trap, that I helped him with. I introduced them. I can't let this happen. I can't let Jonghyun get away with it.
From: Taemim
To: Jaebeom
Dorian isn't who you think
he is. Don't trust him, don't
believe what he says. I'm
sorry I set you up. I didn't
know he was going to be like
this.
Before I can stop myself, I send the text, tears streaming out my eyes. I usually would never meddle in someone else's relationship so directly, especially if it's to break them up. But I can't help myself. I'm drunk on betrayal and disappointment.

I'm so sorry. I'm leaving

Jonghyun POV
"Maybe someone should go and check if he's okay."
"No man, he's just taking a dump, let's not make it awkward."
We've finished practicing Lucifer, and now we're waiting for Taemin to come out of the bathroom so we can practice the concert announcement… except that he's been in there for over 20 minutes.
"Minho you go check! It's a boyfriend's duty to help wipe himself." I joke.
"Shut up. But someone go check, I'm actually kind of getting worried." Minho bites his lip nervously, knowing that manager hyung is getting impatient. "Onew you're the leader."
"What? No Jjong's right, it's your duty."
"Pfft, Onew don't talk to anyone about a boyfriend's duty."
"Let's not start this yeobo."
"I told you not to call me yeobo anymore. You're bible is your yeobo."
"What? I thought Jjong was the bible lover."
"What?"
"Okay, someone go in there RIGHT NOW!" Manager hung is getting impatient.
"Okay fine I'll go. This is an umma's job anyway…" Key grumbles as he struts towards the bathroom. 1 minute later he comes back out.
"Are there any other bathrooms around here?"
"What? He's not there?" Minho asks.
"I checked all the stalls and called out his name. That bathroom's empty."
"Where the hell did he go off to?" I ask. We all look at Minho.
"I don't know! I was practicing with you."
"Call him!" Manager hyung commands Minho.
Minho takes out his phone and dials Taemin's number, but he gets no reply. He looks extremely concerned.
"Jjong you have his number right? Can you give it a try?"
I take out my phone, and notice I have a text from Jaebom. I remind myself to check it later. He doesn't pick up my call either.
"Well what do we do?" Key asks.
"Onew?" Manager hyung turns to the leader. "What do you think."
"Let's take a car to his house to see if he's there, and also one to the SHINee dorm. We'll try and find him, but if we can't we better get ready to announce the concert without him."
"Good idea." manager hyung applauds him. "But just one thing different. If we don't find him now, there is not going to be a concert."
"I'm going with the car that's going to his house" Minho insisted.
"I'm coming with you!" Key adds.
"Then me and onghyun will go to the dorm. He might have left something there this morning or something." Onew suggests.
"Okay you guys. GO find him. Bring him back." Manager hyung sends us off.
Minho and Key go in the group ca with the driver, while Onew and I take a taxi back to dorm. While in the car, I remember to check my message from Jay.
From: Bboy Jay
To: Dorian
"
yo.. u wanna tell me who u rly
are? dnt like liars
Shit. SHIT! How'd he find out? SHIT!
"You okay Jjong?" Onew asks me.
"Yeah…"
How much does he know? Who told him? Was it Taemin? Was it Key? Is Key really that jealous? Wait does Key even know?
"Okay we're here." Onew jumps up the car and runs up the stairs. I follow after him, trudging up the stairs. Everything's been ruined. Completely ruined. If I told him the truth, there's a slight chance that he might forgive me, but he had to find out from someone else.
I reach the dorm. "He's not in here." Onew pants. "Come on let's go back."
He runs back down the stairs, and I follow him down, still wondering how Jaebeom caught on to me. I decide that I can't make the situation any worse… and I give in to the truth.
From: Jonghyun
To: Jay
My name's Kim Jonghyun.
I'm the main vocals in
SHINee. ANd I'm so
sorry.
Minho POV
We reach his house and I scramble to the front door, banging on it as hard as I can. "TAEMIN!?? ARE YOU IN HERE? ARE YOU OKAY?!!!" I shout.
"Geez Minho, tone it down a notch."
I try and calm down a bit. But I'm scared. What happened to him? I was worried that the stress of announcing the concert was going to get to him. I hope I'm wrong.
After 3 more minutes of knocking, it's evident that Taemin's not going to answer the door if he's in their.
"Don't you still have his keys?" Key remembers.
"Yeah!" I check my pockets. "Wait, no. They're in my normal jeans." I wish I now wish that I had changed out of my Lucifer costume before coming out.
"Oh COME ON!!" I shout, getting agitated. Where the hell is he? I turn the door knob, trying to force it open. To my complete surprise, the door opens easily.
"Shit, how'd you open it?" Key asks me.
"It wasn't locked."
"What? We locked it when we left this morning. I'm completely sure of it."
We run in to the apartment, and on first glance it looks empty. Way too empty. My heart sinks as I enter the bedroom. Everything's gone. The cupboards are open and empty, the candles have all been moved out of place, and the rose petals have been knocked off the bed.
"Woaahhh!" Key comes behind me and looks in to the bedroom. "What the hell happened here?"
My thoughts exactly…
Taemin POV
I'm lucky. Lucky that the airlines could move my flight because of a last minute cancellation. I'm at my family's grave right now, saying goodbye to them. My flight's in three hours.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry I lost focus. I'm sorry I let myself get carried away.I just wanted to trust him so much. I was lonely. But I can deal with it now. I'll take it all from now on, it's better this way."
I get back in to the taxi. "Where to now?"
"Seoul airport please."
"Oh, I should've guessed with the big suitcase. You coming back to visit?"
"No. I'm not coming back."

"Shit, how'd you open it?" Key asks me.
"It wasn't locked."
"What? We locked it when we left this morning. I'm completely sure of it."
We run in to the apartment, and on first glance it looks empty. Way too empty. My heart sinks as I enter the bedroom. Everything's gone. The cupboards are open and empty, the candles have all been moved out of place, and the rose petals have been knocked off the bed.
"Woaahhh!" Key comes behind me and looks in to the bedroom. "What the hell happened here?"
My thoughts exactly…
Taemin POV
I'm lucky. Lucky that the airlines could move my flight because of a last minute cancellation. I'm at my family's grave right now, saying goodbye to them. My flight's in three hours.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry I lost focus. I'm sorry I let myself get carried away.I just wanted to trust him so much. I was lonely. But I can deal with it now. I'll take it all from now on, it's better this way."
I get back in to the taxi. "Where to now?"
"Seoul airport please."
"Oh, I should've guessed with the big suitcase. You coming back to visit?"
"No. I'm not coming back."
