Just A Borrowed Spouse

Go On

Taemin's POV:

I found myself lying on the floor as we all finished the practice. One by one, the dancers soon left while I decided to stay.

It's nearly been a month since we've started practicing. America bound or in Korea, I found myself working my hardest more than ever.

This was my solo.

I lay there panting, waiting for my body to catch up my breath and just relax. Thoughts came swarming as I lay. The pressure, my family, the fans, the company, and just everyone.

I know I shouldn't, but it still comes back to me. I still do think of her.

About Naeun...

It's been nearly a month that I haven't heard anything from her. The news and her guestings in music programs told me she was doing fine, like nothing just happend.

I wonder if I ever crossed her mind after that day; but I don't know if I still would want to know the answer to that.

I have to bury her in my mind now. Now that she has moved on with her life, that meant I had to move with mine...

Funny, how I am trying to bury her in my mind. Even my title song just speaks of her.

Her being the impenetrable girl in the lyrics of the song...

The door suddenly swung open, someone just came in. I didn't bother to look, as I heard the footsteps coming towards my way...

"Taemin..."- It was the familiar voice of Kai.

I sat up as I realized it was him. He held up a box of chicken and some beer while I managed to fake a smile at him. As I looked at him, I realized he was doing the same thing.

No wonder we were friends.

"Jong-in? What are you doing here?"- I asked.

"Is it bad to see my friend?"- He said as he sat beside me. I could tell he was having some issues too. More than anyone else, Kai and I knew each other more.

"So what's up?"- I asked.

"Nothing, I just came to see you."- He blankly replied.

I couldn't help but snigger he was not so good at lying towards me. He might get away with his lies with others but not with me.

"I know you're lying...

How are your members then?"- I asked.

Why don't we eat for now? I'm starving..." He said as he started to open the box of chicken.

Looking at him, I could tell he was avoiding the topic. Soon enough he was done and we dove into it. I quickly got one and began to eat. I forgot how I didn't wash my hands as I finished my first chicken.

Never mind. I already finished one anyways without washing.

"Here..."- Kai said handing me my beer. I got it and took a sip from it.

Ahh. The cold bitter taste of it. Just as how I expected.

"So, how are the guys doing?"- he asked inititiating a conversation.

"Guys?"- I asked and he nodded as he was too busy eating his chicken.

"Well the members are fine, all of us busy on our own thi-"

"No, not your members."- Kai suddenly cut me off. "I meant you..

You and Naeun...
