Love from dribbledrabs.
Minho is forced to face their father the morning after. He dresses as proper as he can and drives straight to the Mansion , he doesn’t want Key to come along , he doesn’t tell Taemin or Jonghyun that he’s coming. He just arrives and requests to meet the owner of the mansion.
“ How dare you show your face around here Choi Minho , don’t you feel the least bit regretful ? “ their mother shouts from the top of the stairs.
“ I came to meet Mr Kim ...”
“ And I will meet him in private , go back to your room and be quiet “
Minho bows politely when he notices the presence of Key’s father.
“ Have you come to apologize or break more hearts young man, theres is only so much both my sons can take , maybe this time you want to tell me you’re in love with Sulli instead ? “
“ I...... I was rash in my decisions , young, stupid and very spiteful I thought it was the best thing to do because my heart was broken, I hurt Taemin , and gave him false hope which i know i should be punished for that , but I really love Key , with every bit of me that i have to offer I’ll give everything to him to make up for whatever hurt physical and emotional i have inflicted on him. I can’t ever leave him Sir , not ever. “
The older man pauses for a bit and looks around the room. Eyes stopping behind Minho.
“ Taemin ! , come out don’t hid behind the pillar “
Taemin emerges from the side of the wall face down but there were no tears.
“ Do you want to marry this man , I can make him marry you , one word from you Taemin “ Taemin whips his head up at his fathers offer. Was he kidding was Minho his to take. But he knew that Minho would never find space in his heart for him. It would always be for his brother, the one that almost died for Minho. How would he ever match up to that.
“ I love you Minho , and with an offer like that I could never let it go. I’d be stupid to let it go. To be with you forever its all i’ve ever dreamed off since I’ve met you. But I am stupid , stupid enough to let you go now , to Key hyung. I know no one’s heart is big enough for two people. I don’t want to share you either. But someday , when you decide too look behind you, think of me will you ? “ Taemin has tears in his eyes but he tries to hold it back , because deep down in his heart he knows Minho was never meant for him. When Minho had run in that day to ‘ confess ‘ his love he knew that it was a matter of time before that dream would crash around him.
“ Taemin... “ he strides forward but the boy takes a few steps back.
“ Don’t come near me , I might change my mind “ he turns and walks up the magnificent flight of stairs to his room.
“ You have your answer , I ..... can only ask you to take care of Key and his mother. I owe them so much for what I did to them. I miss him and his mother if you could tell them to visit one day , I would welcome them to come back and live in this house but I know that its unlikely , still I can hope no ? Hurry on , I heard Key’s being discharged today the Doctor told me yesterday “ He pats the boy on the back and tells him to hurry.
Minho is curious to know when he visited and how come no one knew. But he knows better than to question further and Key was waiting for him. He bows a final time before running out heading for the hospital.
When he steps into the room he had spent almost a week in he see’s Key watching his mum fold the clothes into a neat pile and packing them into a bag.
“ Minho ! “ Key gets up and throws his arms over the tall boy.
“ Someone’s overly happy “ he laughs and Key leaves a kiss on his cheek.
“ We should go out for a awesome dinner, i hate the food here is disgusting and i’m being nice “
“ I went to the Mansion “ he replies and Key freezes up a bit but he knows why , Minho would never leave anyone hanging without a final answer.
“ Its okay , you know what you’re doing , lets go “ he smiles and takes his bag, linking both arms with Minho and his mum , one person on each side as the headed out to pay the bills. He thinks about how many more hours he would have to work to cover up all this spending.
Key is complaining how he doesn’t want to pay for the food cost because he hardly ate anything and it was all bad and blend.
“ Your bill has been paid sir , paid yesterday too actually “
Key grabs the piece of paper from her hands and scans through it looking at the signature right at the bottom.
“ Mum....... it was Dad “ He would never miss it , all those cheques that use to be sent. it was the same.
“ Really ? “ she’s shock as well, why would he bother to do such a thing.
“ So he came yesterday , well he knew you were being discharged today , I guessed as much “
“ The man told me to make sure you were fine, he left his contact in case anything would happen, here’s your medication its paid for as well. “
Key takes the small bag of medicine slight dazed not sure if he should be grateful or angry. He’s silent mostly as the walk towards car.
“ He cares you know “ Minho tells him as he opens the door for mother and son to get in. Key simply shrugs his shoulders , he’s not sure if he’s still as angry as before. This couple of months made him a little shaky on his so called beliefs.
-------- a year -------------
Key is standing by gates leaning agains the hard metal, trying to recall today’s lesson on fashion history. Nothing comes to his mind still and he lets out a frustrated sign. He had to be focused he didn’t transfer here just to waste it all away. There a loud honk and the boy looks up , a smile spreads across his lips when he sees the familiar car he hasn’t seen in a while.
“ When did you get your car back ? “ He asks as he gets in , enjoying the comforts of not having to take the bloody bus everyday.
“ yesterday , wanted to surprise you , this is so unreal “
“ I would think so , its been a year ! “ Key teases. Minho’s license got suspended a couple of days after Key’s discharge. He handed in his driving license and was off the roads for a solid year.
“ How was class ? “ Minho asks as he drives out of the school roads.
“ This and that , I could have walked to your building , people were starring “ he complains, Key always hated unwanted attention.
“ I’m sure tons of your classmates want a hot boyfriend picking them up too, nothing to be worried about “ he gives Key a quick kiss on the cheek at the red light and the boy blushes a little.
“ Yah ! , arrogant much “
They head back to Key’s place because his mum wanted them back for dinner. She believed a home cook meal was many times better than any rubbish outside. So when they had the time , they’d eat together.
This was life for the past year, things seemed to fall in place and gradually improve. Key managed to switch schools into the same one as Minho for fashion. His portfolio was impressive so they allowed him into second year instead of the first. Things gently became better with him and his Dad. His visits were more often than it use to be , they talked about other things nothing included money. He kicked the woman out of the house when he found out she was cheating on him. Almost killed her but Key told him that he was better than that.
Key grew close to Taemin, everything placed far behind them especially when Taemin mentioned a certain boys name more than usual.
“ You think if it wasn’t for that chance meeting outside the mansion we would be hear like this ? “ Key asks as he leans his head on Minho’s shoulder.
“ I’m sure we would, I could have bumped into you when you switched schools and thought ‘ woah cute guy “ or maybe you were dragged by someone to dinner and we meet at the pizza pallor, maybe even cause your the cute guy who serves me drinks at the club ! “ Minho lists out a string of possibilities , simply to prove that they were meant to be.
“ ya , ya I bet you’d stalk me all day and I’d get so annoyed “ Key jokes.
Minho laughs along and smiles at the road ahead. For every bit of heart ache they both went though in the past year. it was all worth it.
Love isn’t easy , love isn’t chance. Love is something that has to be worth it at the end of the day. Its earned and handwork. Love is not honey from the comb , or nectar from the flowers you can’t simply get it. Its a well baked cake with effort and precision. You try all your life to bake that perfect cake, and when it comes out piping hot and absolutely heavenly from all that hard work you know you’ve hit the jackpot.
