Rating: g
Genre: romance
Pairing: 2min, Onkey
Summary: Taemin is a loner. He enjoyed all his wonderful time alone until Minho came and took his lonely times away. Taemin doesn’t want to befriend Minho, remembering his last friendship didn’t end well and gave him deep wounds. He doesn’t want his heart to be injured again so he decided to act like a loner. But, could he ignore Minho who seems so cool and caring at the same time?
I loved the taste of his perfect lips on mine. I loved how I felt secure whenever he touched me. Somehow, I just felt that this was so right.
But, every single movement of our kiss further assured me that this was only dream, a dream that I wished wouldn’t end. However, this was too real to be just a dream.
No, it should have been a dream, because if wasn’t, I swore I’d regret it.
“Tell me that I’m dreaming right now, because this must be the best dream I’ve ever had.” We broke our kiss when I said that, then continued it directly.
“No, this is not a dream, Tae,” Minho replied.
“But this is too good to be true.”
“Why is that so?”
“It’s because I’m just a bet.” Minho stopped kissing me right after I said that. He hugged me tightly and rested his head on the crook of my neck.
“I’m sorry about that, Tae. I’ve never meant that. I am sorry. Trust me; you’re not just a bet for me.” I couldn’t do anything except remain unmoving, not willing to hug him or shove him.
“But still, I was a bet,” I replied coldly. I knew it hurt to say that I was a bet but that was the reality.
“Look.” Minho released his hug and stared at me. “It was the fool-arrogant Minho who hates being ignored, who made that silly bet. Before long, that Minho realized that he sincerely wants to befriend you. And for God’s sake, I had no more interest in that bet and wanted it ended soon. Then, you accidentally heard about the bet, totally misunderstood about it, and left me in the dorm without giving me any chance to explain it. You have no idea how much I missed you and how I suffered because I couldn’t see you as often as usual-”
“And you have no idea how hurt I was when I knew about it!” I interrupted him. “Stop it, stop talking to me! I don’t want to hear it.” I could hear my voice trembling.
“I’ve made a mistake by letting you get into my life and ended up with a sick-like-hell hurt when I knew I was a bet. Now, when I try to stay away from you and have a new start, you come to me. Do you expect I’ll trust you and let you get into my life again?”
“These past few days without you were enough for me to realize that I want you, I need you, and I’m in love with you. I promise I won’t hurt you again. Please, trust me this time.”
“But last time I trusted you, I ended up getting hurt.”
“Then, give me one more chance to fix it.”
“How could you fix me? I’m not like a thing that you can fix after you break it.”
“That’s why I beg you for one more chance so I can show you what I can do to you. And, you’re not a thing for me.”
***
We walked in strange silence. Taemin kept his head down, staring at the road. This was not what I wanted; I wanted to walk with him how we always did when we were at the dorm. But I thanked God because at least I still had a chance to do this.
Well, after a long, tiring argument last night, he agreed to give me one more chance. But, even if he disagreed, he couldn’t do anything since I’d bought his apartment and I could do everything in my territory.
“Let’s stop at the coffee shop up there. We need to have breakfast,” I said and he just nodded at me, his eyes never leaving the road.
“What are you staring at? There is nothing down there.” I groaned, frustrated. “Come on,” I pulled his wrist so we could walk faster. We stopped at coffee shop; I bought two cups of coffee and some bread for us. Taemin just took them when I handed him his coffee and bread.
Maybe he needs some time to be able to talk to me.
“Do you want steak for today?” I asked him.
“I can get it by myself,” Taemin said as he walked to the queue line. I followed him and stood behind him. Awkward silence covered both of us as we waited for our steak.
“How could you get in?” He finally broke the silence.
“I’ve told you it’s my room now.”
“Then, how could it become your room?”
“I bought it,” I replied in short.
“How could you buy it?” It seemed like Taemin didn’t want to give up asking me about it.
I sighed, “I bought it from your brother because I’ve run out of ideas how to talk to you. That was the last thing I had and I thanked God because it worked.”
Yes, it was my room now. I brought it from his brother. I got his brother’s phone number from the school administration by saying that Taemin wasn’t feeling good and needed to see his family. It was my luck that the officer just trusted me easily; maybe that was what Taemin called precious-popular-effects. So I called his brother and told him that I was his boyfriend - uhm, okay his brother was shocked about it but I managed to convince him. Then, I made a fake story that Taemin was angry at me because he wanted us to move out of the dorm, but I ignored his wish because I was too busy lately, and finally he moved out by himself. I told his brother I wanted to make up with Taemin and begged him to sell the apartment to me so I could give it as a make-up gift. I wished he wouldn’t call his brother because it meant I should explain about the fake story I’d created.
“I’ll call my brother-“
“NO‼” I screamed. Unfortunately it was too loud and made me gain glances from the others. “I mean, why don’t you just ask me?”
“You know I can’t-“ He stopped because our steaks were ready. We took seats and ate in silence. I wished he wouldn’t continue asking me about apartment stuff.
“I have to go to the toilet. You stay here,” I commanded him before I left.
***
I groaned when he left. Gosh, why was my life this difficult? Why couldn’t I just let go of him?
Wait, this was a good chance to call my brother. I took my phone and called him.
“Hyung, did you sell my apartment to someone else?” I asked.
“Yes, Taemin-ah. I sold it.”
“WHAT?‼ How could you-“
“Come on Taemin-ah. Just make up with him before you regret it,-“
“Wait, hyung, you’re-“
“I can’t believe it, you didn’t tell me about him. You should be more open to me, Taemin-ah. I’m your brother-”
What the fuck was he talking about? I wasn’t calling him to hear his nonsense words that I really didn’t understand.
“Hyung, I-“ I cut him off but he cut me off AGAIN.
“As a good hyung, I advise you to forgive him-“
“HYUNG, SHUT UP‼” I shouted till he stopped.
“What did he say to you?” I tried hard not to grit my teeth.
“He told me that you two were in quarrel and he wanted to give the apartment to you as a make-up gift. Listen to me Taemin-ah; in a relationship, you need to understand your couple’s state. He was just too busy-“
“What relationship are you talking about here?”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine if you’re a gay. But, I was a little bit disappointed you didn’t tell me that you’ve had a boyfriend.”
BOYFRIEND?? He told my brother that he is my boyfriend?
“Hyung-“ I stopped as I saw Onew hyung and Key hyung were walking towards me. Gosh, what’s next? “O-okay hyung. I got it. Thanks. Bye.”
“What?” I glared at them. None of them spoke up. Key hyung sent a hesitant glance to Onew hyung and Onew hyung gave him a nod.
“Well,” Key hyung started to speak. “I-I just want to say sorry about the bet.” Even though I was an antisocial person, I knew he was sincerely saying it.
“Why should you say sorry?” I replied coldly. I never expected I’d ever face Key hyung when he was in this state, unconfident, shy, but amusing at the same time. I thought he would always be confident in any situation. Now, I knew I was wrong.
“I shouldn’t have continued the bet when he asked to stop-” He asked them to stop? He didn’t tell me about it.
“I’m not a person that can abandon a bet just like that. But, if only I knew it would end up causing trouble for Minho, I would stop it right there.”
“He asked you to cancel the bet?” I asked them.
“Yes. Didn’t he tell you?” I was about to answer him when we saw Minho was walking towards us. I didn’t know why but Key hyung and Onew hyung left me suddenly. I saw Minho was staring at me with his worried look.
“What did they do here? Did they hurt you?”
“I’m fine.” I answered.
“Really?” I saw his worried look still painted on his face.
“I’ve told you that I’m fine. They didn’t do any harm to me, and stop worrying about me.”
***
“Where are you going?” He took my wrist to stop me when I was about to leave after the school’s bell rang.
“Umm, I have something to do. Don’t worry; I’m not going to run away if that’s what’s on your mind.” He let go of my hand reluctantly.
“Meet me at the school’s gate when you’ve finished.”
I nodded and left him. I walked as fast as possible to Onew hyung’s class. I needed to talk to him. Luckily, I met him halfway. I waved at him signalling that I wanted to meet him.
“Oh, Taemin, what’s up?” He looked at me in a questioning way. I took a long, deep breath before asking him this question. From what I’d learned since Minho asked me to join his little group, Onew hyung was the one you could trust. That’s why I decided to meet him rather than Key hyung or Jonghyun hyung.
“Umm, I just want to ask you about..what Key hyung said to me this afternoon. Is it true?”
“Sorry but I don’t get it.”
“I mean, is it true that Minho hyung asked you to cancel the bet?” Onew hyung let out a loud laugh that confused me.
“You two-“ he couldn’t speak properly as he was out of breath from laughing. “What is happening between both of you, huh? Yes, he did it,” he said as his serious tone came back. “Why did you ask about it? Don’t you believe in Key? I know Key is a little bit annoying for you but he is never joking when he says sorry to someone. You can trust him.”
I felt a little guilt when I heard it. Gosh, I must have looked so pitiful now.
“It’s not that I don’t trust him, I just-“
“It’s okay,” he cut me off and gave me reassuring smile. “You need to know that it wasn’t Minho who threw the bet. We did that and Minho isn’t the type to reject a challenge that is thrown to him. It’s not like we meant to use you as our game. But, you know how our, umm, relationship was before Minho came. So, I am sorry about it.”
Well, yeah, I knew I should have been angry about it but after hearing his explanation, my heart said that I had better not do it.
“I know.” I nodded to him. Our relationship was bad, maybe that was why they did it.
“And, please don’t be so tough to Minho. Believe me, he loves you.” I was stunned at his words. I knew that Minho had said it to me but it became more real when someone else said that too. “I’m sure you have something toward him too, haven’t you? Don’t deny it.” He smirked.
“Hyuuung, stop it.” I whined obliviously and got a surprised look from Onew hyung.
“Aigoo, this is the first time I heard your whine. So cute.” He pinched my cheek.
“Yaaaah, what was that?” Both of us turned to the voice’s direction and found Key hyung standing not too far from us. I couldn’t describe his face; it was angry, confused, and questioning at the same time.
“Ah, Key, there you are. Come here.” Key hyung walked closer and gave me dirty look. Did I make a mistake?
“Oh, I think I have to go. Thanks, hyung. See you later.” I bowed and left. I didn’t think I could continue it after Key hyung came.
Talking to Onew hyung made me feel better. He was much like a caring brother. He made me think about what I should do to Minho. I couldn’t lie to myself that I was touched by the fact Minho asked his friends to cancel the bet.
He wasn’t that bad.
I didn’t know why but I smiled at that thought.
“What took you so long?” Minho asked me when I reached the school’s gate.
“Nothing.” We walked back together. I planned to keep my cold side to him because I wanted to know how he would fix me. Enjoy it, hyung.
