Replay, Rewind, Reset (Chapter four)
I have been avoiding Choi Minho for a week now.
Since the day I found out about our true relationship, I decided to just fade away from his sight.
Everything about him makes me feel awkward.
If only I could run away somewhere, somewhere he won't be able to reach me, I would.
I don't want to see him again, not yet, not now.
I'm not ready for anything which involves that man.
Taemin was dancing freestyle at Superjunior's dance studio (which is five floors away from SHINee's studio).
He begged for his Kyuhyun hyung to lend him the keys so he'd be able to have the whole place to himself.
The maknae wanted to dance freely, with no one watching, no one counting the hours of his practice, no one telling him what to do and how things should be done.
He just wanted to let it all out - his frustrations, doubts, problems and many countless emotions bothering him at the moment.
Of course he didn't want Minho sneaking around while he's doing all that, main reason why he decided to dance in some other place.
Plus it's midnight, everyone should be asleep.
This is great! He exclaimed to himself
Taemin danced until his body felt like giving up, he danced like he's never gonna dance again. With his shirt drenched in his own sweat, his face tomato red and his hair all wet - he danced to his heart's content.
Until I remember who I am before, only then will I look at you again.
"Hey."
Taemin was about to execute a full turn, it was supposed to be snappy move but a deep slightly hoarse voice made him stop mid-way.
After hearing someone call his attention he caught a glimpse of the figure standing near the door.
"Ohmyfreakinpigs you scared me!" Taemin yelped in surprise
"I found you, finally" The smile on the figure's face was hard to miss, maybe because it was out of pure bliss
"Yeah, you r-really found me" Taemin replied in a dead tone, there was no amusement in his voice
He was disappointed because the figure he saw was none other than Minho.
Just when he thought everyone was asleep -.-
"That was not funny you know, disappearing all of a sudden" There was sadness in Minho's voice "I was near to searching the whole city for you"
"...and I was this close to leaving Korea because of you" Taemin retorted coldly
"You can't do that" Minho stated, knowing all to well that as an idol they have to ask permission first from their manager or maybe from the CEO before they can leave the country.
"I know. Now if you'll excuse me, I want this place Minho-free so please go away" Taemin brushed Minho away and went back to dancing, he pretended not to see the rapper for a while, hoping he would leave once he gets bored
...but Minho was just standing there like a creep. His eyes fixed on Taemin and his every move - every sway of his hips, every hair flip, every pop and lock, Minho watched at it all.
"What are you still doing here?" Taemin crossed his arms, raising his eyebrow as he continued "Kindly leave now"
"Isn't that a bit harsh? I'm not doing anything bad, I'm not even making noise and you're asking me to leave?" Minho defended
"Go away while I'm still asking nicely" You can hear it in Taemin's voice, he was close to snapping
"I see nothing wrong with me being here" The rapper insisted, making Taemin's blood boil all the more
"Everything is wrong with you being here!" The maknae nearly shouted, he was never patient when it comes to arguments
"Stop freakin out Taemin. It's just me, why are you so paranoid?"
"I am not freakin out okay? I'm just demanding for personal space!" Taemin's voice got louder. If this continues, he might shake the whole building and wake people up.
Minho - being the competitive person he is - did not pay attention to Taemin. Instead of leaving, he gladly pulled the plastic chair near him, sat comfortably and smirked at the maknae who was mentally killing him.
"You want me to leave?" There was arrogance in Minho's eyes "Then make me" It sounded like a threat but it's actually a challenge for the maknae.
They were testing each other's stubbornness.
"Don't play with me Minho, cause I tell you, I can play better" and then there was fire in Taemin's eyes, something you rarely see in him, for he was always innocent and cute but this was the other side of Taemin you wouldn't want to get into.
"I won the game long time ago. What makes you think you'll win this time?" Minho bravely questioned, still smirking.
"...because this time, I am different - definitely not the Taemin you knew before" It was an answer Minho didn't expect to hear, maybe he forgot he was messing with the new Taemin and with that he was silenced.
"NOW STOP BREATHING MY AIR AND GO AWAY!" Taemin shooed him away for the last time
"As you wish" Minho gave the maknae a playful smirk "...but I tell you, you'll regret this." The rapper warned, he then stood up, walked away casually and before Taemin could stop him he reached for the switch and turned off all the lights.
Another thing you must know about Taemin - he's afraid of the dark.
He can act all tough at times but if you literally turn off the lights, especially when he's all alone, he would scream like a scared puppy for sure.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD! MINHOOO COME BACK COME BACK CO--AHHHH!"
BAM.
"Ouch! Awwwwww, aigooo it hurts"
Taemin twisted his ankle while he was running for his precious life and so he fell face flat on the wooden floor.
Minho was disturbed by noise he heard so he immediately ran back.
"Taemin? Oh hell!" Minho turned the lights on only to see Taemin lying on the floor like a soon-to-be-dead fish, he was about to help him get up but he was stopped by the stubborn maknae.
"NO! NO! NO! Don't you dare go near me!"
"So what am I supposed to do? Stand here and laugh at you?"
"Uhhh call Jungmo hyung! He's practicing in the next room, call him for help!" The maknae's face twisted in pain
"Why would I call him when I'm here capable of helping you?" Minho was irritated because Taemin was choosing another boy over him.
"I don't want you to help me! I don't want you to touch me!" Taemin started blurting out stupid words, maybe his face got hit too hard the shock went straight to his brain
"Come on! I've touched you way too many times."
"WHAAAAAAAAT?!"
Minho replied with a smile, a perverted one.
"I'm not calling anyone. It's either I help you now or you spend the whole night here with your broken ankle"
"You jerk! How can youu? Ugghh!!" Taemin groaned, he just can't imagine how much painful his ankle would get overnight
"...and don't think I'll leave the lights on for you, you're not that lucky" and that was what Minho had to say to make the maknae surrender to him
"F-fine! Take me out of here now you bad person!"
...and that was all Minho wanted to hear before he lifted Taemin off the ground and out of the dance studio bridal style.
----------
"We have our own house?" O______O
Taemin didn't know how to react, he was now standing in front of a luxurious looking glass house. The sight was beautiful beyond words, like it was taken out from his dreams.
Normal people would be happy about having a house with someone they love, but Taemin was torn between jumping for joy or running away because he finds it extremely creepy.
He's been living in that house with Minho? What exactly have they been doing? Curiosity could kill him right then and there.
"Yeah, I bought this for our 3rd year anniversary. It's a gift from me"
Minho can't help but chuckle while looking at the younger ones face, it was very hard to read but he looked cute nonetheless.
"This house...y-you bought it for m-me?" Taemin nearly choked, he wanted to slap himself...reality still not sinking in
"Yeah. I'm a pretty cool boyfriend you know" A charming smile flashed on Minho's face "I spoiled you rotten" That smile made the rapper look like a prince charming
"I can't believe you. I can't believe this" Taemin sighed, the beauty of the place is so getting into him
"Believe it Taemin, this is real. I'm giving you your own fairytale."
----------
"OUCH!!"
Taemin's scream could've woken up a whole building of sleeping people, good thing it's only the two of them there.
They were situated at the living room withTaemin sitting on the white furry couch and Minho tending to his injury.
The rapper was massaging the maknae's ankle but he suddenly pressed on the wrong vein earning a loud scream from the other.
"You're making things worse Minho! Look my foot is swollen already!" The younger one pouted, whining like a pre-schooler
"This will heal in no time. I always get cramps, I know exactly what to do about it" Minho assured although he can sense disbelief in Taemin's eyes
After minutes of massaging the maknae's foot, he rubbed some ointment and wrapped it with a bandage
"This is done. Go freshen up before you sleep, I'll tell manager hyung to cancel your schedules for the next two days" Minho stood up from sitting on the floor
He was about to leave Taemin until something crossed his mind
"Can you walk?" It was an abrupt question his mind made up
"Can't you tell?" Taemin raised his eyebrow, it was a stupid question
"Oh" Was all Minho said before he carried Taemin to the shower room, since the maknae can't walk the rapper would be carrying him a lot
"Do you need help?" Minho asked as Taemin entered the shower room, he was eyeing the maknae's body like a dirty old man
"I can wash myself thank you very much" Taemin gave him a sarcastic smile and slammed the door shut
"I was hoping he'd say yes" Minho giggled to himself, the sly man will be forever sly
----------
Limping his way to the bedroom, Taemin did not bother to call Minho for help. Calling Minho would only mean he would carry him again and as far as he's concerned, they had enough skinship for today.
He'd crawl if it can't be helped, he'd gladly crawl if it's the only way.
Dressing up was never a problem of his, well until now...cause he is injured and he's having the hardest time wearing his boxer shorts. His right foot was numb and heavy, he can't even move properly without it aching.
Well he's not crazy enough to sleep with only his underwear on, so he tried his very best to put on some proper clothes. He forced his legs to slip inside the boxer shorts only to end up rolling out of the bed and falling hard on the floor yet again
"Oh crap this is so annoying!" Getting impatient with the piece of clothing which seems impossible for him to wear he grabbed the boxer and threw it in the air...
...unfortunately it landed on Minho's face.
Minho just had to enter the room and witness Taemin almost naked. That's what you call, perfect timing.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Get out of here you shit.ass! GET OUT!!!!" Taemin grabbed a blanket on impulse, he then covered his lower body with it, just before Minho could drool over his legs
"What the hell is happening here?" Minho wanted an answer as to why some random boxers fell on his precious face
"Uhh n-nothing" The maknae blushed grabbing the blanket closer to his body
"Is this yours?" Minho reffered to the boxers flying across the room
"Uhh yeah, sorry about that" Taemin looked down shyly, he wanted to hide his red face cause honestly, he was too embarrassed to even look at the rapper
"It's fine. Come here, I'll help you get dressed" Minho said casually, as if he was used to seeing Taemin under-dressed
"PARDON?" Taemin's eyeballs dropped, his mouth hung open. He was undeniably bewildered
"Don't think too much Taemin, I'm just being helpful" The rapper did not waste time, he immediately carried the maknae to the bed without much prior thought.
Minho felt Taemin's bare thighs against his skin and he would be lying if he said it didn't feel good, but as much as he wanted to savor the feeling, he still practiced some control.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Taemin covered his face with his hands for he was blushing real hard. Minho then pulled the blanket off him, exposing the his smooth, white and long legs.
Restraining himself from doing something improper, the rapper gulped his saliva nervously
He quickly reached for the boxer shorts and dressed Taemin
While slipping Taemin's long legs inside the shorts, Minho's hand accidentally brushed Taemin's inner thigh making the younger one jump with just a simple touch.
Minho too was surprised by this, he had no idea how the hell his hand ended up brushing that particular spot
They stared at each other for a moment, a cloud of tension hanging above them. It was always like that when they touch, it's like something is ignited when their skin collides.
Noticing Taemin's shocked face, Minho apologized. After that he decided to move on tucking the maknae under the blanket and leaving him so that he could finally rest.
"Minho-ah!" The maknae called out almost inaudibly
"Eh?" Minho peeked behind the door
"Can you sleep here instead? I can't sleep alone" Taemin resembled nothing but a kid, scared of monsters under his bed
Seeing Minho's confused face he begged shyly "You can take the bed, I sleep on the floor. Just, don't leave me alone"
"No one's sleeping on the floor, we both sleep on that bed" Hearing this, a smile was painted on Taemin's face, he's finally getting some good sleep
You see that's how their relationship works, sometimes they get on like fire, sometimes they stopping like rain.
One minute they're on war, the next minute they're friends.
Minho turned off the lights and laid himself beside Taemin
"Minho-ah, it's dark. Why did you turn off the lights?" Taemin voice was shaking, even though Minho can't see him, he knew he was scared
Reaching for Taemin's hand under the blanket, he held it and intertwined his fingers with Taemin's.
There are moments when touching Taemin feels so illegal, but there are also times when it feels nothing but right
"I know this may sound funny but when I was young I was scared of the dark too" Minho started telling the maknae his childhood story "My eomma would always hold my hand like this every night so that I won't get scared" The rapper tightened his grip on Taemin's hand
"Are you still scared?" Minho whispered, shifting his body to face Taemin
Apparently the maknae did not respond, he somehow fell asleep listening to Minho's story
That night wasn't perfect, they had much more special nights before...
but it was somehow different, because tonight they both fell asleep with their fingers intertwined.
----------
Taemin had a dream that he was kissing Minho
and in that dream, Minho looked so damn fine.
Waking up made him feel a little bit disappointed. Taemin did try to close his eyes several times, hoping he could sleep again and maybe his dream will continue but it didn't happen.
Frowning, he went straight to the kitchen to wash his face and cook breakfast. Might as well repay Minho for taking care of him
His foot amazingly got better overnight, it ached less and he can even walk quite properly now
Wandering around the kitchen he searched for something to drink and much to his surprise, the refrigerator was filled with all his favorite food. No wonder he felt like a pig, Minho has been spoiling him with everything
Grabbing a bottle of his favorite banana milk, he continued wandering all over the place
The house was overall big for just the two of them and God was it complete with everything he wanted
As the maknae walked around, he also met the cutest thing his eyes ever laid upon
"Arf arf arf arf!" He saw a toy poodle running all over the place, it's tail wiggling restlessly
"Awwwww you're so cute! How come I didn't see you last night?" Taemin stretched out his arms for the cute ball of fur
As if the dog understood what Taemin wanted, it immediately ran into the maknae's arms, licking his face cheerfully
"Fufu, say goodmorning to eomma" Taemin heard Minho's voice behind him
"Eomma?" He let go of the dog and turned to the rapper (who was by the way looking extra handsome early in the morning)
Maybe it's just special effects, or maybe it's Taemin's eyes playing tricks on him but Minho looked so damn sexy with only his sweat pants on. The abs are to die for, definitely a sight to see.
It took Taemin all his rationale to not look at Minho's body while they are talking
"His name is fufu, he's our son" Hearing his name, the dog ran to Minho and started licking his feet
"Our son?" Taemin was startled, Minho will never run out of surprises
"You said before that you want us to have a baby so I bought you fufu" The rapper grinned, carrying the ball of fur in his arms "Oh by the way, hows your ankle?"
"It's fine, thank you" Taemin assured "I'll cook you breakfast...if you like" He added awkwardly, unsure if Minho would like the idea
"Please do" The rapper smiled in reply, melting Taemin's insides
"Oh, I forgot" Before Taemin could even react, Minho sweeped him off the floor (for the nth time) and carried him to the kitchen, the maknae on the other hand hooked his arms around the rapper's neck and gazed at him shyly.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Taemin started working on their food.
"Key will arrive anytime soon, ask him to help you cook breakfast" Minho informed as he made his way to the shower room
While cooking, Taemin can't come up with a single explanation as to why his heart was pounding so fast
It's like having a heart attack every single second, he can't even concentrate on the fcuking food
All he could think of was Minho's face, it has been floating around his brain since he woke up.
...and their physical contacts are not helping either, since when did he become addicted to the rapper?
Lost in contemplation he didn't notice Minho come out of the shower room, he was too busy to even bother.
With only his blue towel hanging dangerously low on his waist, Minho approached Taemin from behind
Resting his chin on the maknae's shoulder, he whispered "What do we have here?"
"OHMYGOD!" Taemin jumped in surprise, the rapper's hot breath tickled his ears
"You like vegetables now?"Minho whispered again
Gosh if the place can't get any hotter, Taemin swore he can feel Minho's chest rubbing his back
"I'm m-making v-veggie s-salad" The little one stuttered. Well if you have one piece of hot sexy ass behind you, who wouldn't?
"Oh I see. Let me help you" Minho was about to reach for the knife when Taemin turned around to face him
It was a wrong move though, for the maknae. Witnessing Minho half naked with some droplets of water rolling happily on his broad muscular chest and his eyes tantalizing than ever -- is like telling a hungry lion to eat him right then and there
Minho defined temptation with a capital letter T
...and to make things worse, he was cornered by the taller one and their body was so so close to touching.
Taemin ran his eyes on Minho's godly features, searching for even a tiny bit of flaw but damn he can't find any.
Now if that's not perfect, then Taemin don't know what is.
"Have you been drinking banana milk again?" The rapper asked, observing the younger one's lips "There's something on your lips, here let me wipe it"
"No, I can do it" Taemin brushed Minho's hand away, the maknae's eyes now focused on the taller one's plump lips
First the body and now the lips, Minho sure has lots of assets
"C-can you please get dressed first?" Taemin almost pleaded
"Does it bother you?" Minho asked but the maknae didn't reply cause the answer was pretty much obvious
"God you've been sweating a lot, Taemin" Using his hands, the rapper wipped the cold sweats forming on the little one's forehead.
Minho's tempting lips got even closer, making the maknae curse under his breath.
...and because Taemin was never patient and he wasn't thinking rationally that morning, he did the unexpected.
Stepping on his brain, he slowly tip-toed and reached for Minho's delicous looking lips.
Taemin kissed Minho.
...and it was something both of them didn't expect.
The maknae just can't control his raging feelings. The only thing he thought of was Minho's lips and how it would taste like (true enough, it tasted good)
There was no great explanation behind it, Taemin plainly got carried away.
Not believeing what he just did, Taemin immediately broke the kiss, looked down and covered his face in humiliation
Oh my god I did not just do what I just did!
"I'm sorry I'm out of my mind asdfghjkl" Taemin muffled an apology but Minho ignored him
Instead, he pushed Taemin's chin up -- asking for another kiss
Taemin then drew back, he looked away -- avoiding Minho's attempt
"Just let things happen Taemin" Minho muttered to the hesitant boy
Cupping Taemin's small face to make sure he won't go anywhere, Minho slowly leaned in for the awaited kiss
Surprisingly, this time Taemin did not object.
He even closed his eyes, tilted his head and gladly gave in to Minho.
Of course it was sweeter the second time around, not to mention longer.
It was exactly how it looked like in Taemin's dreams but it felt a hundred times better
Both held nothing back as they kissed foolishly without care
Both loved the heaven they were feeling
Both - although they won't admit - longed for this moment
"W-wait" Taemin pushed the taller one away, somehow making their lips part "Fufu's watching" He pointed at the little ball of fur watching them intently
"Don't mind him, he's used to seeing this" Pulling Taemin back into his arms, he continued with what they were doing. Minho was getting addicted to the younger one's sweet and very much edible lips
"You taste sweet, as always" Minho being the sweet talker he is, made Taemin blush a million shades of red
He was about to claim the litle one's lips again when he felt him tense up inside his arms
"What? Is it Fufu again?" Minho groaned impatiently, he did not buy that dog just to disrupt their sweet moments
"No, it's worse than Fufu..." Taemin spoke nervously, words won't come out of his mouth "...it's Key"
"Key??" Minho turned his attention to the figure near them, standing with his hands on his waist
"Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?" The diva spoke with a smug smile on his face, playfully eyeing the two naughty birds caught in the act of being shamelessly naughty
"Are you going to continue with that or should I leave now? Cause I swear I have so much more to do than watch you two make out" Key made Taemin blush like hell, he was redder than red tomato
The maknae was so flusterred, he even prayed for the floor to just eat him whole
"Aish hyung, stop it! Just help him with breakfast" Minho walked away to their bedroom, he finally decided to get dressed
"I don't think breakfast is still needed, with all that kissing and stuff. You're still hungry?" The diva chuckled as he teased the two endlessly
"Aisssshhhhh Choi Minho this is all your fault!" The distressed maknae ran straight to the bathroom to save his face
"Gosh! I miss hot kitchen sex with Jinki" Key babbled alone as he continued with the neglected breakfast
