"Tomorrow morning don't come inside the school. Wait for us outside so we can pick you up.", Minho told Taemin as the bell to end lunch rang.

"You don't have to pick me up I can go there on my own.".

"You got lost twice, I rather not risk it.", he stated,"Wait for us outside we'll come quick I promise.".

"Fine, I'll see you both tomorrow.". Taemin wanted to hug and kiss him but held back because everyone was watching, he simply waved goodbye and left to class. School was the only place he could be close to Minho, but they couldn't really do anything due to Minho's fan-girls. He was getting tired of having to hide in the bathroom, behind trees and practically anywhere they could find; just so they could be together. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he failed to noticed Kai walk up to him.

"Are you okay?".

"Do I look okay?", he snapped, feeling a bit annoyed.

"The pressure of being Minho's friend is getting to you isn't it?".

Taemin was surprise that Kai was talking about Minho since he always avoided talking about him. It make him feel slightly more irritated but he couldn't really get mad at him because he was kinda right. He loved Minho and he knew none of this was his fault but he wanted all of this to stop. He wanted to be able to kiss and hug him whenever he felt like it, he wanted to go on dates with him, he wanted to do what every other couple did. 

"It is only going to get worst.", Kai commented,"I don't want you to get hurt, maybe you should consider not talking to him anymore.".

"Not talking to him isn't an option, besides none of this is his fault.", Taemin and Kai stood outside of their classroom. 

"All of it could easily be fixed if he said something. Minho just stays quiet and lets everything happen. It's his fault that all those rumors about Luna are still going around.".

"Why are you being so harsh on him? Why do you hate him so much?".

"For one you rejected me because of him. Two it's his fault that Krystal left.".

"Was she your girlfriend?", Taemin asked ignoring his first reason since he still felt bad about it.

"I had feelings for her but she and I were friends. I don't know if she liked Minho or not but she was friends with him too. They started treating her like they are treating Luna now. She wasn't able to take it anymore and one day she just left without saying anything.", Kai informed him."I like you and I heard the things they are saying about you.", he looked down at his feet; avoiding eye contact."I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want you to end up leaving.".

"Nothing is going to happen to me and I'm not going anywhere. I don't care about what they think or what they say about me. I'm not to worry about it and you shouldn't be either.", Taemin smiled as he then went inside his classroom. 

Throughout the class he couldn't really concentrate. Even though he was indifferent towards Luna he felt bad for her. Seeing her cry at lunch because of what they said about her made him feel partially at fault. He had already told his classmates that Luna wasn't his girlfriend but that was all that he could do. He just hope she didn't end up leaving like Kai's friend Krystal did because Minho would be very upset. When school finally ended and it was time to go home Taemin started to put his notebooks away as Kai approached him once again.
