Disclaimer: I own only the fic, SM owns all of the sexy SHINee members
A/N So I decided to write another fanfic, hopefully this could be a chaptered one too. I will try to update as soon as I can :D Please enjoy ^-^
“Hyung,I think I love you.”
Those last three words made it seem like time itself had froze. All Minho could do was stand in place; shocked, eyes widening and mouth slightly agape.
“I’m sorry Taemin but . . . I just can’t feel the same way.”
“And why not hyung?! How can’t you feel anything?! It’s either you do feel something or you don’t!” Taemin retorted, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
“I just can’t okay?!” Minho snapped in a harsh tone. Taemin was taken aback by Minho’s sudden outburst. Minho realized that his tone was cold and a tad too loud especially since all of the members could be within earshot. Then he spoke in a low tone with his head held down “Let’s just forget this happened…”
Taemin said nothing and walked past Minho. He went to the bedroom and slammed the door. Minho closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He decided that he needed to get some fresh air to clear his head. He grabbed a hoodie hanging on a rack and put on his Converses. He ignored the questions coming from Jonghyun, the concerned stare from Onew and the complaints from Key. With that he slammed the door.
Meanwhile, Taemin watched from the leader’s bed through the window as Minho walked away from SHINee’s dorm with his hoodie up. Taemin’s breaths came out short as he tried to control his crying. His eyes were puffy and red; tear marks stained his cheeks. He bit his lip, trying so hard no to let the tears trickle down again but gave up and let them fall.
Taemin and Minho have always been close, the type of close where it feels as though you’re related to each other, or so Taemin thought. Taemin started to develop feelings for Minho during the time they were doing “Hello Baby”. Taemin saw how much of a caring appa Minho was to Yoogeun. He knew Minho was caring and charismatic, but when he saw him taking care of Yoogeun he saw how compassionate Minho was.
Minho was always by Yoogeun’s side and Taemin wanted to have that too; someone who loves you at your side. Taemin desperately tried to show Minho how much he knew about children and tried his best to become close to Yoogeun. But all Taemin proved was that he was still awkward at cooking; he was still a naive teenager and that Yoogeun had seen him as an easy person. Nonetheless Taemin tried his best.
But now Taemin felt like his heart was torn out and stepped on. Minho had been someone he could tell anything to. Someone who would listen, someone who would be there for him and someone you could fall head over heels in love with. All those times Taemin said “I love you” to Minho he meant it. Minho would just give his trademark smile and say it back. Each time Taemin would feel a spark, his heart flutter, butterflies in his stomach. But now he felt empty, cold, and desolate. He knew he couldn’t hate Minho for rejecting his confession, but he certainly couldn’t think “We’ll just stay friends” and act like nothing happened. Taemin just wanted to stay there and he did; curled up into a ball with his head in his arms, sobbing.
Onew had his ear pressed to the door. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh and turned to face the other two members. Key mouthed a “Well?” and Onew just shook his head. Key huffed and whispered harshly “I need to see my baby. He’s in there crying for goodness sake’s Onew! We can’t just sit here and do nothing while he’s crying his eyes out and Minho is God knows where.”
Onew shook his head again and whispered “This is between them; we can’t interfere in their business.” And he walked past Key.
After Onew had passed, Key let out a shaky breath. Jonghyun turned to face him and brought him into a hug. Key rested his head in Jonghyun’s chest and clutched his shirt. Key started to cry silently so Taemin wouldn’t hear him. Jonghyun patted Key on the back and kissed his head. “Let it out yeobo.”
“My baby Jonghyun….My baby’s in there and I can’t do anything about it. I feel like an awful person Jonghyun.” Key said in between his sobs, crying harder.
“Shh…I know Key, I know. But Onew’s right, we can’t get in the way. It’s best to let them sort this out, besides Minho isn’t one to hurt someone like that. Give them some time okay?” Jonghyun said, cupping Key’s face and wiping away his tears. He gave Key a kiss on his forehead, on his nose and then on his lips. Key kissed back and then broke away.
“Fine. But if that alien doesn’t fix this then I have the right to castrate his ass.” Key said gravely while wiping the remaining tears.
Jonghyun let out a small laugh and kissed Key again. He led him to the bathroom so he could wash his face. But before he could do that, he looked at the closed bedroom door again.
‘Please fix this Minho, please come home.” Jonghyun thought before leading Key to the bathroom.
