Ends and Beginnings
“ Why the hell would I want to go out with you , are you out of your fucking mind ?! “ the boy is half laughing and half frustrated at the outrageous request.
“ I have no idea, you ran out of my house two days back and I tried to find you , failing obviously , today I met you and ...... so do you want to ? “
“ You don’t even know who I am Minho “
“ I asked Taemin “ he answered matter of fact-ly
“ So what are you here to show me your pity because you’ve found out that I’m Taemin’s poor step brother who has barely a roof over my head “ his words are spiteful because its the only form of protection he has ever had over himself. Harsh words and cruel realities a wall that was build around him to shield him from the facades of people.
“ No , I thought you were Taemin’s boyfriend , or previous one ..... I just..”
“ Bye Minho and No “
“ Just lunch tomorrow , not even dinner , lunch thats all “
Taemin was obviously interested in this guy , was he completely oblivious of simply not interested. Key would be lying if he said he didn’t find this guy the least bit interesting. Now as a brother he should step back and say No , because his younger oh so adorable brother had a crush on him. But as a enemy he should be taking up this opportunity to crush his dreams into bits and blow the shredded bits into the air while celebrating .
Key takes a while to think , eyeing the boy carefully.
“ Lunch is good “ he finally says , and he doesn’t miss the way Minho’s eyes light up in the dark cold air outside. The taller boy punches the air and takes steps towards Key grabbing his bag and walking ahead.
“ YAH! Give my bag back !! “ Key shouts running after the boy.
“ I’ll send you home lets go “
Only the sound of Minho’s laughter can be heard as Key falls in step next to him .
---------- ;; ------------
“ Ki Bum ? Where are you going today , you came home so late last night “ His mum asks as she her hand lightly pushes open the ajar door. She noticed his clothes sprayed out all across the bed. She walks in and sits by his bed folding the clothes as he threw more. His wearing a pair of grey ripped skinnys that seems to hug his legs uncomfortably.
“ Mum don’t worry i’ll keep them later , I’m meeting a friend later “ He answers her finally while he pulls on a another top. Its big, too big for him and it falls off a shoulder exposing some skin, too big its at his thighs. But he likes the way it doesn’t fit , they way it hides himself.
“ Is he cute ? “ She asks as she carefully piles the clothes into his cupboard eyeing him while he fixes his hair. Her happiness is brimming over the surface because its been years since her son has had any real friends. He looks at her eye brow raised jokingly sarcastic . “ Its just lunch mum “
She tells him she wont and to have fun , she mentions bringing the friend over for dinner before work but it ends up with him whining saying it isn’t a big deal and runs out reminding her to buy new clothes when she’s free.
Taking the lift down the apartment block he thinks about the various outcomes this cold lead too. He knows that if he bothers to put in any effort , Minho would be his. He thinks about Taemin crying at home , and the disappointment the family would be suffering from. Maybe its worth it. Making sure his wallet and phone were in his bag one last time , he steps out the lift and heads to the side walk.
Minho’s already waiting , leaning against the column outside. Key stops in front of him and the boy looks up , his eyes burning holes in Key’s. His smile , is infectious and the cold boy doesn’t realize his smiling too.
“ Lets go “ Minho presses his palm into Key’s back and motions for him to walk ahead. They reach a nice black volkswagen and Key looks at him unconvinced.
“ you drive ? “ he asks as they get in and buckle up.
“ I do , is that a plus point ? “
“ are you flirting with me ?! “ Key glares jokingly at the driver .
“ Maybe “ and the car revs up heading towards lunch.
The ride is comfortable and their conversations are endless . Key realizes why Taemin would like him, a guy like Minho was hard to find. Still he told himself that he wasn’t interested in the fancies of a relationship , he simply wanted what was rightfully his and to finally give his father’s family what the rightfully deserved. He smiled at everything Minho said , he laughed at the appropriate moments and joked when he deemed fit.
“ We’re having pizza , if that okay with you ? “ Minho states as they pull up along the road near a street of restaurants Key nods and unbuckles his seat belt. The air outside is chillier than usual as they walk along the street looking of the pizza place. Minho notices the way Key’s lips are turning purple and throws his scarf over the others neck. Key tries to give it back but he pushes it away saying he won’t use it anyway. He likes the way it smells of Minho.
The restaurant is dimly lit the smell of freshly baked pizza fill the air. Its quite besides the small chatter in the far corner or the light clinking of wine glasses. He takes in the atmosphere enjoying every bit of it , never had he the chance to come to a place like this. No one bothered enough to know in , no body bothered to really care.
“ Its beautiful “ he mutters as his hand runs along the side of the wall they’re seated at.
“ yeah , i come here once in awhile , when i want to be alone, its nice to eat and think “ Key nods in agreement and lets Minho place the order. The waiter is a middle aged man , his tummy rounder than any Key has ever seen. His laugh is deep and loud he swears he feels it reverberate through the tables.
“ You finally brought your boyfriend eh Son! “ he teases and pats his slightly flour laced hand on Minho’s back . Minho doesn’t mind and laughs along “ I have haven’t i “
Key looks at him wanting to deny it straight away but Minho reaches for his hand across the table signaling him to stop. The man takes their order and leaves not without a good laugh.
“ He’s always asking , lets just tell a white lie for once “ Key shakes his head but agrees anyway.
“ What made you ask me out ? “ anyone would be curious at being asked out after meeting the other party only once.
“ good question , I don’t know either “ Minho smiles and takes a sip of his drink.
“ come one , don’t pull that on me , spill “
“ Seriousss ! “ Minho whines a little. Key just sits there and shakes his head enjoying how he’s driving Minho a little over the edge for fun.
“ I’m sure tons of people out there are dying to go out with you but I think you’re different , I don’t know how or why , but i just know it “ he answers finally giving in.
“ Well different yes , people dying to ask me out no. “
No one ever bothered to know Key , they know he’s the forgotten child of a filthy millionaire but the story ends there. Nobody asks why he’s always mean and keeps people at bay , that his friends are just that one person. People don’t care , Key knows it , and he grew not caring what other people thought as well.
He’s lost in his thought until another waiter comes and sets the pizza on their table. Telling them to enjoy their mean he slices it 4 times and leave them to eat.
“ Well , i’m lucky aren’t I , that you agreed to go out with me “
“ Maybe “ he laughs a little.
They eat over glasses of coke , because Key loves it to bits. The talk over unfinished pizza crusts because both of them hate that part of the pizza.
Still at the back of his mind , Key thinks he might regret this.
