Taemin never knew why that tall guy suddenly appeared in his life.
It wasn't like Taemin hate to speak or could not,
but somehow, his voice was disappeared.
He was afraid to say something.. or maybe due to shock?
i should never give you a birth..
That nightmare seems always ghosted him wherever Taemin walked, whenever he was.
Seeing his mother stabbed herself with knife,
mumbling threaten words to Taemin.
I hate you.. Taemin..
Since then, Taemin never let any word slipped from his mouth.
------------------------------------------------------------
It was started when he knew the most handsome, dashing, and hottest guy was in the same class with Taemin.
That guy walked casually but enough to ride the girls went crazy.
Taemin, sometimes, gaped in awe looking at him.
Choi Minho must have a perfect life.
How about himself?
Playing with little kids was only his daily routine, and got bullied, of course.
Taemin never protested of that narrow minded guys who always bullied him. Why should he? As long as Taemin could live with his saviour, Kibum, and they never did any harmful to him, it was more than enough.
Taemin's life had never been so amusing and up side down before.
" no one can bully or touch him, or else, you'll be dealing with me."
thus, after a crowd which was made by bunch of Minho's fans, Taemin ran to Kibum's class. Sneakly, he waved to Kibum and the older boy noticed it.. He approached Taemin, happily, because Taemin never called him before at school.
quickly, Taemin pulled Kibum's wrist and searching for a place to hide, before someone noticed it.
kibum sniffled. " What's wrong, Taemin?"
Taemin mumbled something silently. His mouth spelled something.
Your phone.
kibum took out his phone from pocket and gave it right away to Taemin who immediately punched the buttons, typing something. Then, he showed it right on Kibum's face. Kibum frowned as he read the text.
Minho suddenly declared something to those who always bully me.
" what did he say?" Kibum shows his confusion. Taemin quickly typed again.
More likely he was like a power ranger who will punish whoever try to lay a finger on me.
Kibum raised his eyebrows. He remembered about something they were talking when Taemin changed his uniform. Kibum just asked Minho not to be a jackass also but he didn't expect Minho actually to protect him.
Taemin typed again.
What's going on with him, eh?
Kibum chuckled and shook his head. He rubbed Taemin's hair softly. " I don't know, Taemin, but.."
At least Kibum could be soothe for a while now.
" He's a good boy, i think."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When Minho appeared in front of their flat, Taemin, honestly, was a bit suprised.
Who knew the most dashing guy was stalking him back home?
Taemin didn't know. His mind was too naive to ever think any assumption.
and now, that tall guy stood up, towering, in front of Taemin, waiting him.
" I will walk you home."
Taemin blinked.
Minho bent down and whispered. " Come on, i know you never walk back home with Kibum because you are trying to keep his image safe. That's why i'm gonna be your company from now on."
Taemin's jaw was almost dropped.
Because it was his first time seeing Minho looked so firm in stating. Well, Taemin never had a talk with Minho before so no wonder Taemin got a bit suprised.
and when Minho had said something, he would eventually do that.
Minho really meant it.
He walked Taemin home.
Since that time, Taemin never been alone again.
No matter where and when Taemin was, Minho would be by his side. Even though Taemin just wanted to go to canteen, or bathroom, or library, Minho would.
Of course now dozens of girls and boys eyed him now.
Taemin felt less comfortable. He brought his lunch with a tray to a seat along with Minho. He gulped his saliva down upon realizing that, everyone was staring at him even though it was noisy there.
Taemin sighed an put the tray on the table, followed by Minho. The older guy pulled out a seat for Taemin.
" Sit."
Minho obviously treated Taemin like a princess or something fragile, but in Taemin's eyes, Minho acted like.. a man. a real man. Taemin didn't mean to get protected by someone but still, something in his heart was rushing around crazily.
So without saying anything, Taemin nodded quietly. He was about to sit when someone 'unintentionally' elbowed him roughly in the crowd, making Taemin lost his balance and fell down, hitting the table hard. the glass was shaking and slipped down directly to Taemin.
Taemin stunned as Minho pulled his collar back right when the glass finally broke into pieces. Minho put his mouth closer over Taemin's ear. " Are you okay?"
Taemin nodded. He was already caught in shock. Minho stood up and walking toward that guy who now trembled in scare.
Unexpectedly, Minho punched him right on his face. The guy sprawled on the floor, rubbed his cheek while wincing in pain. Minho stood up angrily.
" I have told you and everyone, no one can harm Taemin."
That guy flinched back in fear. Minho's deep voice was frightening him to death.
Everyone could tell that Minho was really mad.
Minho glared at him. " Now get lost."
No need to be told twice, that guy rised up and in a second blink he was already running away. Minho turned his heel and approaching the smaller guy who was dumbfounded. Minho put his hand on Taemin's shoulder. " It's fine."
Taemin lost of words. He tried to process what was going on. He didn't think that that guy actually tried to do something harmful.
Minho really did save him.
and when he saw the pieces of broken glass, Taemin squatted down, about to pick them. But again, Minho held his hand. He stared Taemin and said, " let me."
Taemin stayed quite as Minho started to pick the pieces without saying anything. Taemin glanced at him, wondering why did Minho still look stunning even in cleaning up the floor?
But suddenly, Minho winced. He looked at his index finger and murmured. Taemin looked up and his eyes went wide.
It was bleeding.
" Doing this hurt my finger," Minho mumbled, " I need a bandage - Taemin?"
The smaller guy froze seeing the blood which started running down on Minho's finger.
His face turned pale.
" Taemin..?"
Taemin's lips were shaking. His body was trembling. He didn't even hear Minho's voice calling his name.
Blood..
I see blood..
Minho went closer worriedly, about to touch him. " Tae - "
Suprisingly, Taemin flinched back and sprank Minho's hand away, startling the taller boy.
I'm scared.
Minho looked down to where Taemin put his gaze on. Blood?
Does he hate blood?
Although Minho didn't understand, he decided to suck his blood. Suddenly he forcibly lifted Taemin up and left the canteen which still surrounded by crowd.
Minho, unexpectedly, carried him to the rooftop. He hauled down Taemin who still looked scared.
" Taemin-ah?"
Taemin bit his lips. Minho lowered down his back. " Are you scared of blood?"
Taemin didn't answer anything, but the change of his expression explained it. Minho took a deep breathe and hugged him.
" I'm sorry. I didn't know that actually you hate it."
Minho didn't even understand why he apologized. But the boy in his arms was totally weak. Minho learned something new today: dont ever show Taemin blood.
A thought was crossing inside his mind and Minho slightly smiled. At least he figured out something about Taemin by himself.
" There, there," He rubbed Taemin's head softly. He whispered, " You wont see it again, i promise."
Taemin's body started to stop shaking. Slowly his breathe was calm and he nodded over Minho's neck. Minho's calming voice made his fear fell. Minho placed his hand on the back of Taemin's head and murmered little nothings into the smaller's ears. The sobs changed to sniffles. Minho pulled away Taemin from the crook of his neck. He wiped the younger's tears swiftly with his thumb.
" Don't cry," Minho whispered, " You have me and you can guarantee i would never make you scared again."
Somehow the brown irish of Minho worked well to soothe Taemin.
Only by one look, Taemin had already trusted him.
Why is my heart beating fast?
There by, Taemin mumbled shyly.
Thank you.
and as the return, Minho smiled.
Without knowing why, that smile sent shivers down to Taemin spine.
It's warm.
