Title : Bacon and Eggs
Pairing : 2MIN
Rating: PG
Summary : I've no reason to stay.
I
walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
They were right , I was a senior and even if I was in charge of Taemin, my control had its limits. All i was suppose to be doing was making sure he got to class, ate his meals, and made sure he wasn't getting hell from bullies.
His love life was out of my control, so who was I to make a big fuss about the people he hung out with, more so those who were interested in him. I threw myself on the bed and stared at the empty one across the room.
I should have never signed up for the buddy system. Screw those credit points , there had to be some other way to get them , I paused for a moment while pictures of me helping the elderly flashed across my head , i cringed at the thought , I was never good with old people , taking care of them might actually hurt them.
Then again , I wouldn't fall for them.
Flipping my body face down into the bed I pressed my face into the pillow and screamed. I hoped it muffled the sound, otherwise I'd most probably get a knock on the door from security downstairs argh!
I heard the door opened and shut. Footsteps walking across the floorboards.
" Minho. "
I flipped over , Onew was sitting on the side of my bed with a " I KNEW IT " look happily plastered across his face, a wide grin mocking me.
" Don't say anything "
" Well you know , you never ever showed Taemin how you felt , let alone tell him, and you get angry and storm off cause he agreed to go on a date, i repeat ONE date with another guy. Really Minho this buddy system is to working our for you "
" I just …."
" You always make fun of him , shout at him , scold him or call him stupid. He knows you're taking care of him , have you seen the way he looks at you with such admiration or were so blind "
" He's a kid hyung , how was i suppose to know I'd like that kid "
" There is no suppose in love, and you're just TWO freaking years older, its no big deal "
" You know the bets with the Jocks, they'll torment me "
" and you think that is not as bad as you mentally beating yourself up for letting your chance slip. "
Silence.
" Think about it, I've got to hit the books , my mid terms start a week earlier than you young punks buh bye ! "
He ruffled my hair a little and walked out the door.
______________________________________________
I must have fallen asleep cause when I opened my eye again , the room was dark except for the small lamp illuminating from Taemin's side of the room. He was sitting on his bed with a bed table across his legs, writing furiously.
" You should on the lights you're gonna hurt your eyes " I muttered .
" I didn't want to wake hyung up " he replied softly.
I pushed my blanket away and walked across the room flicking the switches before the room lit up. My eyes shut themselves instinctively then slowly opened again when I got use to the sudden influx of light.
" Hungry ? " I asked walking over to the kitchenette. My stomach was grumbling away.
He shook his head and pushed his table aside and walked over to the microwave , pulling out a bag of something subsequently shoving it into my hand.
" I wasn't sure if you ate already so I bought some food back for you from the restaurant i went too, its really good "
Restaurant with him.
" you shouldn't always eat those instant noodles , they're really bad for you "
" I told you I don't "
" Onew hyung told me "
------ TAEMIN FLASHBACK ----------------
" Wow that looks great! " Onew commented as he sat down next to me.
I looked at him smile almost reaching my ears
" Minho hyung cooked it for us, eggs and bacon! I LOVE EGGSS "
" really ? "
I nodded happily as i went back to digging into my sandwich. It was the best , just like any other thing Minho hyung had prepared for the both of us. He always woke up extra early to made sure I had something to bring out, he said instant noodles were bad and unhealthy and banned me from eating them.
" So Minho has been eating with you in the morning?"
" No usually I wake up late and he's already done so he just makes me pack mine "
Onew nodded with a funny look on his face.
" Why " I asked obviously curious.
" Huh ? no nothing "
" tell meeeeeee " I whined, i hated this half tell thing.
" Just that its funny , cause Minho cant eat breakfast his stomach isn't really accustomed to it , and he's allergic to eggs , and all he ever eats is those packet noodles cause its fast and cheap , his allowance doesn't really allow him proper meals let alone nice breakfast "
I looked at the sandwich , appetite half lost. All the money hung hand spent making me breakfast so that I ate properly while he was downing those nutrition less noodles.
" Really… " I muttered.
" Hey , Minho has always been like this , so don't worry about it , i doubt its because of you "
Onew hung have me a pat on the head before running off for class, just in time when the bell rung
------------------------------------------------- end of flashback , back to minho ------------------
That asshole always ruined anything I did and i could never do anything about it cause he was older then me.
" You shouldn't make breakfast for me too if you're not gonna eat it with me "
So I just stood there, mouth shut not really sure off what i wanted to say.
" Hey , I just …." Taemin cut me off
.
Okay people needed to STOP cutting me off in mid sentence
" Is something wrong with me? "
No just that I'm trying to balance my urge to take care of you , while i distant my self from you at the same time.
" Hey nothing is wrong with you " more like me " I'm just stressed with school and all , the streaming exams are coming up " I smile and ruffled is hair. His soft , smooth ….. shut up minho.
He nodded in disbelief before turning around and walking back to his bed to finish his work.
One more lie to cover up another lie and another and the circle never ends.

" I'm moving out hyung " Taemin announced as he stepped into our room with Onew.
" What ?!"
" I thought maybe you needed more space for your exams , so I managed to squeeze a single room upstairs from the dorm mistress "
" You really don't have too , anyway we still have a month left and I as your senior buddy really don't mind " i emphasized the last to words , WHAT was this boy thinking.
" No its okay , I'm gonna start packing hopefully I can be done by tonight "
" I said don't already Taemin "
He simply ignored me and started packing.
I grabbed his hand to stop him.
" Minho " Onew cautioned me.
" What is with you ? You've been avoiding me this past few days and now you want to move out ? "
" Its better anyway don't you think so ? "
" No "
He threw the box down and faced me.
" I don't know what you want anymore , you ignore me when you want to , care for me when you feel like it , give me the cold shoulder when it suits you, really I can't keep up with your mood changes hyung , if its the exams that are stressing you out then maybe me moving out for awhile could be better then we could start again when exams are over "
" Don't go " I muttered , shock overwhelmed me I didn't know my actions had hurt him so much.
" You're not giving me a reason to stay hyung, " he picked up his jacket and walked out of the room.
Onew walked over after Taemin shut the door , " He's right you know , you keep holding on to him and you're not telling him why , he can't read you mind Minho , you can't expect him to automatically know. "
" I just can get the words out Onew, what if he doesn't feel the same way "
" He does, can't you tell, He's 17 , insecure about himself in a new environment where in the world would he find the guts to tell you. "
I grabbed my hoodie and ran out after him.
Now or never..…..… now.

I found him sitting at the park connected to our dorm wing .
Quietly I sat down next to him. Contemplating if I should make the first sound.
" I'm sorry for the way I acted hyung " he muttered .
Well he was always braver i realized.
" No , I should be "
" I..…..…. I like you hung and I know its stupid and crazy cause there are tons of people out there who are DYING , maybe even literally to be with you. I don't expect you to feel the same way , just that I can't control it so i thought moving out would be better for both of us. Then when I can stop feeling this way you might still want to be my friend. "
" I don't want to be you friend "
He fumbled around with his fingers , obviously hurt.
" I don't want to be just your friend Taemin " I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me " Its not stupid and crazy , and please don't ever stop feeling this way "
" Don't move out alright "
" I've got a reason now don't I " he laughed softly.
