"I'm so hurt." said Minho in a very sad and hurt way.
"Woof." said Comme des.
"Where is Key?!?!" Minho exclaimed.
"Woof." said Garçons.
"Woof woof key?!?" asked Minho, trying to communicate with the dogs. It did not work.
Sad and lonely, Minho resigned himself to his bed to brood in a manly and mysterious way. He was definitely not sulking in a silly childish way. Oh no. He was a super cool guy he would never.
"I can't believe this..." said Minho. He couldn't even open his phone to distract himself because every time he opened the phone he saw it. He couldn't even look at a phone without the knowledge that it could use the internet, meaning he would be able to see it.
"Woof." said the dogs who were probably sad and lonely too so Minho opened the door. They jumped on the bed in a whimsical manner and looked at Minho who then patted them wistfully with half-formed tears in his eyes.
"You'll never understand..." said Minho to the dogs, "You are dogs... you don't know what it's like to be a celebrity and have articles like this written about you..." the dogs woofed and interrupted his sad, heartbroken monologue. They were Key's dogs! they were super famous and had many articles about how amazing and beautiful they are! Minho was being such a fake fan and so condescending so the dogs left his bed and went to eat in the kitchen.
"Now i'm all alone again.." said Minho, sadly and in a lonely way. He began to contemplate walking the path of a sigma male, when suddenly he heard the door open.
"I'm home!" It was his husband Key. Normally he would jump up and run to tackle his husband into a violent hug which Key definitely enjoyed, or help him with the groceries he sometimes brought home, or just ask him about his day. But not today. Minho couldn't even get himself to get out of bed or say a single word. Even if he spoke, after what he had read, he probably wouldn't even be able to speak in his usual charming and charismatic way. His self esteem was gone.
"Minho where are you?" shouted Key. "Help me put the food away or I'm not making you any!" Key was obviously joking and being silly, but Minho didn't care. He didn't even care about eating anymore, and besides, being silly was not very sigma.
"Minho!" He heard again before hearing stomping footsteps heading to his door. The door was pulled open.
"Are you asleep or what?" Key asked.
"No." said Minho. He wanted to tell Key to leave him alone in a cool brooding way but that felt too mean so he couldn't do it.
"What's wrong?" asked Key, suddenly looking a bit serious.
"Nothings wrong.." said Minho.
"Why are you acting like this?" Key said in a concerned manner, reaching his hand out to Minho. Minho didn't reach back.
"I always act like this..." said Minho.
"Because I have no charisma and nobody likes me!!!" exclaimed Minho who had finally broken down. He threw his arms around Key and sobbed into his husband's chest.
"What? Why would you ever think that? You're the most charismatic man I know and everyone loves you!!!" said Key.
"There's an article... the top ten most charismatic Korean celebrities... and I'm second!!!" Minho started sobbing once more.
"What? Who's first?"
Minho sobbed harder, "Is that important??" He was too lost in the pain of being second to even care who was first in the stupid article, and he couldn't believe that his husband would care. Was Key going to leave him for whoever was first?
"Hang on I'll have a look." said Key.
"No don't.. I'm so ashamed." admitted Minho, but Key had already opened the article and began to read. Minho say Key's eyes move over familiar names other other idols, actors and comedians. On any other day he would have called some of the people on that list his best friends - but not today. Today they were nothing but rivals in the world of charisma, and whoever was first had become his mortal enemy.
Suddenly Key started laughing, causing Minho to look at him in confusion and feel quite offended.
"Did you read the whole article?" he asked.
"No I was too upset to continue." said Minho, honestly.
"Number two Choi Minho. Anyone can agree that Minho is one of the most charismatic men in the world, charming fans, non-fans and co-stars alike with his warm smile and kind words. Not to mention his incredibly handsome face. Number One-"
"Don't!!!" cried Minho.
"NUMBER ONE.." Key read out very forcefully, so that Minho couldn't interrupt him this time, "SHINEE'S MINHO. Of course Minho is charismatic all the time, but when he's performing on stage with his SHINee groupmates, Minho is on a whole other level! He isn't called Flaming Charisma Minho for nothing!"
"WHAT?!?" Minho exclaimed, looking at Key's phone. IT WAS TRUE!! He was on there twice! He was the most charismatic celebrity!
"YES!!" Minho exclaimed in celebration and violently hugged his husband.
"There there." said Key, trying to comfort his husband after the emotional whirlwind he had just experienced. "You're just too passionate Minho... please read the whole article next time." said Key, a little exasperated at how easily this whole misunderstanding could have been avoided if Minho had only continued reading even just one line of the article.
"I will." said Minho, "I'm sorry for worrying you."
"It's fine... but now you have to cook dinner for me!" said Key.
"What? Noo!!" said Minho.
"Nope. This is how you repay me. Get cooking!" Key commanded, lying down in bed. Comme des and Garçons quickly joined him.
With a bit of a groan Minho pulled himself out of bed, wiping the almost-dry tears from his eyes and went to cook for his beloved husband who he could always rely on and definitely couldn't live without.
