낙화 (Fallen Blossoms)
He was building himself to be a better man.
This is what he told himself when he paid no heed to how girls fell at his feet.
He respected his elders. The way Shiwon hyung could be counted on, the way he did things so charismatically, even when he was putting away his laundry. The way Hyukjae hyung was good at sports, a natural, the way he practiced hard at everything so that perfect was all he could be.
There were many things he admired about his close hyungs. And he wanted to be the same role model to Taemin.
This is what he told himself when he found himself drawn to the younger boy, when he found himself smiling at the cute little things Taemin did, day in and day out. And especially, he repeated this thought like a mantra, when Minho found himself helplessly gravitating towards Taemin's presence, when he reveled in each touch, each whisper, and each little laugh.
This is what he told himself: "I am building myself so that Taemin may learn from the best."
He was not being selfish.
This is what Choi Minho told himself as he wrapped both arms around Taemin's lithe waist. He closed his eyes as Taemin reciprocated with a happy sigh and chose to believe: only this.
