Another Love - Tom Odell

A soft repeated click echoes the room.

No, not a soft click, a hum from the piano as a delicate finger taps repeated on that same middle 4th C key. Nothing more than that.

Yeah, maybe Yeosang will get his ass beaten for touching things that aren't his to touch - such as Taemin's piano while he's away at the moment - but he's so bored and staring at the ceiling of the bedroom isn't exactly helpful.

He doesn't even have a television anywhere.

Imagine how bored Yeosang is. Not only that been he needs a distraction from his craves.

Taemin isn't here to be of some help in not thinking about feeling numb with medicine, so he has to do something else just to not run out that door and buy some himself.

Or search for it in this apartment - Taemin is a drug dealer after all.

It's been almost two weeks since he's been here, still with a cast in hand - but promised that next week he may get it removed to a smaller cast before he starts to go to therapy.

Yippie.

Since then, he's been only from the bedroom and to the bathroom. Taemin brings him food three times a day, sometimes snacks when Yeosang bombards with his voice of his hunger - but most of those times he does that just to see him again.

It's hard to get to Taemin. He is really monotone and cold to Yeosang; distant, reserved, and his usual strict self. Even when Yeosang tried to be flirty, Taemin would easily dismiss it off or walk away.

Yeosang didn't give up though, after all he just loves to tease him.

Under that guard he knows there is someone who is soft, tender, and likes being given genuine attention. So, Yeosang refuses to leave his side until he can manage to reach that broken side of him. He's seen it a few times already. From when he gets his tantrums and emotional distress moments, Taemin becomes patient and careful with him in worry.

Not once would Taemin try to press on him, or make him feel bad for exploding the way he would. Instead he would just act casual the next day and leave it like that.

So he does have a soft side, and getting to have him show that side often isn't as easy as one would think.

Which looks and feels like a mission impossible.

Dammit Jimin, why he had to fuck up the guy so badly?

Yeosang frowns to the thought and pressed down harder on the key, huffing lowly before spreading his fingers and continues to play.

A soft, melancholy, tune to his lonely self.

"I found a man that I can trust. And boy I believe in us," Yeosang murmurs lowly under his breath, not singing but not talking either, "I'm terrified to love for the first time. Can't you see that I'm bound in chains, I finally found my way."

And he softly hits the last key, his frown deeper, "I am bound to you."

Yeah, maybe he has grown bound to Taemin.

Even through his tantrums and hysterical breakdowns, Taemin has been the walking angel that has kept him steady. To feel stable. Even when the effects of the withdrawals mellow down, Yeosang finds himself ways to make Taemin try to ease a little more around him.
