~Taemin's POV~
"No! Minho-hyung!" I call out, reaching for him. He just glances carelessly back as the pretty girl drags him away. I start to run after him, but I feel something dragging at my feet. I look down and jump back in shock. Onew, Key and Jonghyun's faces are printed in the waving grass beneath my feet. The long grass is tangling in my feet, weaving in and around my legs and shoes. Their faces all have the look of surprise on them, as though finding out I have a crush on Minho is their worst nightmare.
"No," I gasp, now just watching as Minho walks still further away. He pauses for a moment, and I have hope that he'll turn back for me, but the girl, whom I can only assume is his girlfriend, tugs him forward again.
My cries and struggles double as I realize they are walking closer to the edge of a sheer cliff. The grass gets taller, wrapping around me to hold me back. Then they step off the cliff, and I stop fighting, for if Minho is gone, there is no point in struggling for life anymore. I lay down in the living grass, and feel the tears run as I close my eyes.
"OH!" I sit bolt upright in my bed, and my eyes immediately find Minho sitting on the floor of our shared bedroom, texting. I start to cry in loud, unsettling sobs as I see him in all his beauty. He drops his phone and rushes to sit on the bed next to me.
He doesn't ask what happened, just wraps me in his strong arms. I climb onto his lap, and put my arms around him. My head rests on his broad chest as my tears stain his t-shirt. The racking heaves of my chest slow down until I'm only sniffling.
Once I regain my sanity, I become conscious of how close I am to Minho; my legs straddling him, and my body pressed against his toned one. This realization causes my head to shoot up from his chest and the top of my head bangs against his jaw.
"Ow!" I cry out from the pain. He massages his jaw, and I'm surprised to see tears tracing down his cheeks.
"Hyung? Why're you crying?"
"It's a mix of seeing you unhappy, and the fact that my jaw is going to have a bruise on it." He admits, touching his jaw. I feel warm inside at the thought that Minho really does care.
I reach up slowly to take his face in my hands and bring his head to my level. I trace my lips down his cheek, drying away his tears, and take the hand touching his jaw in my own. Then slowly, carefully, gently I kiss his bruised jawline.
I pull away, smiling as he reluctantly opens his eyes. He catches my gaze with his own for a moment, but I blush and duck to rest my head against the crook of his neck. I feel the vibrations of his cute laugh through his body.
"So, do you need to talk about it?" He wonders.
"You left me in my dream, Minho-hyung." I whine quietly. "For someone else, and that lead you to death."
He tightens his hold on me, and now we're completely pressed together, so that I can feel his heartbeat. "Don't worry Taeminnie. I'm right here, and I'm not going to leave you." Then my stomach growls.
"Except to make you some breakfast." Minho laughs.
"Don't leave me here." I complain. His sigh ruffles my long hair, but he picks me up and carries me to the kitchen. My heart stutters as he places his hands under my butt to carry me, and I take deep breaths and wrap my arms around his neck.
He places me on the counter, and I unhook my legs from around his waist, but he doesn't move away.
"Minho-hyung?" I stutter.
"Yes, Taemin-ah?"
"Could.." I gulp, and try again; it's now or never. "Could I try something?"
"Uh, sure. Is something wrong?" Minho asks.
I cup his cheek with my hand, and lean forward to press my lips against his. They are just as soft as I'd imagined. I break away, my heart aching, not looking at him.
"Yes, everything is okay now." I mutter. A gasp alerts us to the three forms in the doorway. Key, Onew, and Jonghyun are watching us, each showing varying stages of shock.
"So...." Key-Umma begins. " Are you two together? As in a couple?" He sounds hesitant.
"Uhmmm..." I trail off, looking hesitantly at Minho, and blushing as I see him staring at me.
"Yes." Minho's voice is strong and clear as he turns to Key for the first time. Minho-hyung's tan hand clasps my thin one as we face our bandmates. Jonghyun comes to grab some food, seeming to not be affected at all. Key smiles warmly, and comes to hug me in congratulations. With one arm around Key and the other hand gripping Minho's, I wait for our leader to speak. Even Jonghyun stops eating to listen.
"Okay." Onew's face splits into a huge smile. "I think this is something we can live with, but you two will have to be careful." Then my hyungs all take their food elsewhere.
"Thanks for covering up for me, Minho-hyung." I mutter. "I apologize if that made you uncomfortable, or..." I stop at the look on his face.
"You think I was joking when I said we were together? You don't have any idea of how long I've waited for this day. Unless, you don't want to be with me?" My heart breaks hearing him so sad. I lean in again to kiss him, and he kisses me back, clutching me to him. My stomach rumbles loudly, and Minho smiles into the kiss.
Stomach! Are you trying to ruin my morning?
