Taemin knew that although he looked cute, the reason why people thought so was because of his little gestures, actions and the way he talked. A fake personality that he created for himself because of one person: Key. In fact, Taemin was mature for his age, the way he thought about certain things and his views on particular matters were quite out-of-the-norm for the average 15 year old teenager. Despite all this, he still acted the way he did because Key’s tight hugs and “Why are you so cute?!” s were worth it. He loved the way Key laughed when he said something silly and the how Key hugs him harder than other members because he’s just too adorable when he blushes. Taemin had been doing this ever since his trainee days with Key and he was prepared keep it up as long as Key thought that he was special.

So when Taemin overheard Jonghyun and Key talking in Jonghyun’s room, he just broke.

“Hyung, stop laughing I’m being serious here!” Key’s face showed that he was disappointed that his best friend wasn’t taking him seriously at a time like this.

“C’mon, you? Like Onew hyung? Like I’m gonna believe that!” said Jonghyun for the 100000th time, hugging his gigantic toy dinosaur and dying from laughter. That’s when Key started crying and Jonghyun’s expression immediately became straight.

“Key ah, I’m sorry. Aish, you’re serious huh. Stop crying, I promise to listen now, ok?” Jonghyun placed his hand on Key’s shoulder comforted him.

Taemin couldn’t believe it. All his efforts and Key liked Onew?! Taemin stormed to his room and vehemently slammed the door shut. Behind closed doors, he cried softly.

From that day onwards, Taemin decided to be himself. He answered at he thought on interviews and said only what was really in his mind and not made up.

One day, after clearing the dinner table, Taemin flopped on the couch to watch star king. He almost dropped his lollipop when Key appeared out of nowhere to sit beside him.

“Hyung! You gave me a fright.”

Sigh, “Taemin ah, can I tell you something?”

“Sure hyung, what’s up?”

Key told him about how much he missed his parents and how tired he was, etc etc. Normally, Taemin would give typical sweet answers like “You have me, hyung!” but Taemin didn’t do that. Instead he shared with Key how he felt too. Soon, their talk went up to 2 hours and star king was long over.

“You know what Taemin? You’ve really grown up! I really like that. Umma’s proud.” Key ruffled Taemin’s hair playfully. There were no hugs, no pinching of the cheeks, no cute comments. Just that but Taemin loved it even better and he pulled Key into the tightest hug ever and he smiled wider than he had for weeks.
