Dream Boy

Chapter 4

It was Saturday afternoon and Taemin was still in bed, just laying there, listening to music and staring at the ceiling. He kept thinking about Jonghyun and the way Jonghyun grabbed his hand. He wondered why he kept replaying that moment, he also wondered where that hate he felt for him went to. His eyes were slowly closing until he completely fell asleep. He then heard his name being called, a familiar voice. As he slowly opens his eyes, he sees Jonghyun sitting next to him. Taemin just laid there staring at him. Jonghyun stared back, smirked and slowly began to lean towards him. Taemin slowly closed his eyes as he felt Jonghyun's breath on him. Jonghyun leaned more closer, he stopped, smiled and slowly began to shake his arm, calling out his name, "Taemin, Taemin, Taemin!" Taemin opened his eyes, just to realized he was dreaming. Instead of Jonghyun sitting next to him, it was his mother.

"Mom...! What's going on? Did you want something?", he said with a weird look on his face, hoping she hadn't heard anything weird. "I've been calling you for a while now. Your new friend, I think he said his name was Onew." Taemin quickly interrupted her, "What about him?" He asked with a surprised look on his face. "Well he's downstairs, in the living room, waiting for you", she told him. Taemin wondered how Onew knew where he lived. He asked himself if he was a crazy stalker. "Uhh, tell him I'll be right down", he told his mother. She replied, "Okay!" She then walked out of his room.

Taemin was coming down the stairs. "There he comes!" Taemin's mom told Onew. Finally! It's been 20 minutes since your mom told you I was here. What were you doing?" Onew asked. Taemin's mom laughed and said,"Well I'll leave you two at it. I'll be in the back yard if you guys need anything." "Thank you Mrs. Lee!" Onew said before Taemin's mom left. Taemin noticed that Onew looked nervous. As if he had something on his mind but didn't know how to ask. Onew sat down on the love seat and Taemin walked towards the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Anyhow, sorry to make you wait that long. I was taking a shower. By the way, how the heck did you know where I lived and what's the matter with you?" Taemin said as he pulled out a banana milk out from the fridge. Onew stood up from the love seat he was sitting and walked towards the kitchen saying, "Well first of all, I was asking around at school if they knew where you lived but no one seemed to know, which got me thinking you're really an anti-social person. Then this girl named Nicole Davidson came up to me and told me where you lived, she said she knew because she used to be your girlfriend once", as he said that Taemin's banana milk came flying out of his mouth and towards Onew's face. "What the hell? That big mouth actually said she was my ex-girlfriend?" Taemin asked with disgusts in his face. "Uh seriously! That was gross! Yea she did say that." Onew told him while wiping the banana milk from his face. "Sorry, but I was never that lunatics boyfriend, my friend set me up on a blind date with her once and that was it. I hated him for that. He explain with anger in his voice. "What friend was that?" Onew asked. Here he thought Taemin didn't have any other friends. "Just some friend I used to have, I don't want to talk about. So are you going to tell me why you're so nervous?" Taemin said as he was now sitting in the love seat. Onew still wondered who that friend was but he didn't want to get Taemin anymore madder than what he already was, so he let it go. "I'm not nervous!" He said. "BS!" Taemin replied back. "Well it's because I invited Emma to Ace's Burgers and I told her I'd meet her there." He told him. "Then why the heck are you here and and not there?" Taemin said. This time you can tell he was getting irritated. "I know but the thing is I came here because I wanted you to come with me", he said. "No Thank you!", Taemin said as he stood up from the sofa and walked outside to the driveway.
"C'mon Taemin! Please! I really need you to be there. Plus I already told her you were coming. Can you please come? I really like this girl." Onew pleaded. "If I say yes, would you stop begging? You sound like an idiot. Oh and one more thing, if you have something to say, say it. Don't get all nervous in front of me." Taemin said as he went back inside the house. "I'll try not to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Onew said as he followed Taemin right behind. Taemin went up to his room, got his new cell phone that had arrived yesterday afternoon. He still hadn't mess with it but he was glad that he finally had a cell phone. His other cell phone had gotten damaged when his mother accidentally washed it. He then went into his mom's room and told her he was going out and came running down the stairs. "Okay, Let's go!" He told Onew as they were walking out. "That's my car, my 1967 Mustang." Taemin looked at him with disbelief and Onew then continued saying, "Well actually it's my dad's but he lets me borrow it." He said as he opened the door. Taemin just stood there trying not to laugh. "Since you invited me, this means your buying me food, right?" Taemin told him with a smile in his face. Onew just looked at him and smiled. "It's going to be a great night, Emma, you and me and of course Neon Base. I can't wait. I heard they were really good." He said as he turn the car on. "WHAT?" Taemin yelled and Onew drove off.
