Summary: Minho is one of the most popular boys in school and has his world come crashing down around him when he has to move. Taemin has had a crush on Minho since he could remember and decided he was going to do something about it with his last chance to make his move.
It had been one hell of a morning, he was already running late and his parents decided to drop the A-bomb of his life on him the night before. As he was heading out of the door as quickly as he possibly could he heard his mother call out to him from the kitchen.
“I’ll be at school later to start up the transfer papers. And be sure to tell your friends.”
Minho let out an audible sigh and called back that he would before he scrambled out of the door and towards his black sports car. He tore out of his driveway as soon as the car roared to life and headed down the road. He hadn’t expected the conversation from the night before. As he recalled it he felt his anger bubbling up again.
Choi Yungyum cleared his throat and looked across the dinner table at his only son. “Minho, I have news…”
“What is it?” the teen asked eagerly, hoping that they would have been able to go get his new soccer gear he had been wanting.
“I’ve been promoted. We’re moving to Seoul at the end of the semester. I wanted to make the transition as easy as possible for you.” Yungyum had sounded sympathetic, knowing it wasn’t going to be easy for the boy.
An angry sigh came from the full lips as Minho hit his hand against the steering wheel. How was the transition going to be easy? He could already hear the complaints of Jonghyun and Onew ringing in his ears. He was pissed beyond belief. How could his parents just decide to rip him away from everything he ever knew?
The stressed senior wasn’t watching the road until his eyes finally focused on the road. He almost didn’t swerve in time to miss the lithe form walking on the edge of the road that he had been driving towards. What’s worse was that the figure had to jump out of the way in fear.
Minho mumbled a quick curse under his breath and pulled over to check on the person who was now walking out of the ditch. He vaguely recognized the auburn haired beauty but couldn’t place where he had seen the girl before.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention…” the teen trailed off as he held out a hand for the lovely lady to grab onto. Once he had hoisted her up he realized the girl was in fact a very feminine boy.
Brushing off his dark skinny jeans, the boy stood straight and looked up at his near murderer. “It’s all right Minho~shi, no harm done.” He flashed a brilliant smile to show his well being.
The taller male blinked and stared at the boy who looked so familiar. “How do you know my name?” Minho took a second to take in his features trying to place him. The auburn hair was mussed in styled waves, giving him an almost younger apperance. He was slim and he held his body with a sort of grace that looked as if it came naturally. Try as he might, Minho could not place the lanky boy anywhere in his memories.
“We go to school together. I can see how you don’t know who I am, being as popular as you are.” The boy bowed his head slightly in show of respect, though he almost dropped his bag. “My name’s Taemin and we have third period together.”
Minho watched him for a moment and then felt apologetic. "I'm sorry Taemin. I didn’t realize that we even had a class together." The smaller boy simply shrugged as if say ‘It happens all the time’. “Let me at least give you a ride to apologize for almost killing you back there.”
Taemin looked thoughtful for a second, softly nibbling on his bottom lip before nodding a little. “I guess so. I’d be late other wise.” Both boys gave a quick smile and got in the car, heading to school.
Minho failed to notice the nervous glances that were made at him as he drove down the road at the fastest legal speed. It took all of Taemin’s inner strength to keep from squealing with joy and doing a little dance as he sat so close to the boy he had been admiring from a far for nearly five years. Better yet he was riding in Minho’s car. He didn’t think life could get much sweeter. But the teen would never tell his secret. Why would the popular boy Choi Minho ever be interested in the simple, normal Lee Taemin?
So when they parked in the student parking lot and only had a few minutes to get to class before the late bell rung, Taemin simply thanked the popular boy and walked into the school as fast as his feet would carry him. He could never bring himself to tell Minho how he felt. Never.
Minho on the other hand had quickly forgotten the boy who had ridden in his car as he dashed into the school. When he skidded into his first class of the day and looked at the black board he saw the large letters across it spelling out ‘TEST’.
“Oh no…” he mumbled under his breath as he sat next to Jonghyun and slumped down. He had completely forgotten about it since the news the night before. Science wasn’t exactly his best subject either.
Jonghyun leaned over his desk a little. “Forgot too, huh?”
Minho nodded without thinking. He knew he was screwed over with the test but more pressing matters were filling his mind as the tests were being passed out. He was working out how he would break it to his friends about his move. The teen didn’t want to leave his friends behind, nor all the lovely ladies he had become acquainted with. The soccer player wanted this to be as small of a problem as possible. What he didn’t know was how many people would know by the end of the day. Or how much chaos it would cause. He didn’t realize the extent of his popularity or the effect of his potential move would have on the student body.
