Choi Minho, my boss, my lover (2min)

Ch 5: Dreadful Night

It was Friday night, and had been two weeks since Taemins accident. He was still staying with Minho and as the days went by he felt guilty for staying there. Both Eunha and Minho had been very hospitable and Taemin had been thankful for it. He had slight back pain and his arm was in a cast. He hadn't been going to work since he was still recovering from his injuries, which made him feel even worse. Eunha was rarely home, always at yoga classes or shopping. Meanwhile Minho was at the office. Taemin would usually be in the house alone either watching tv or reading books. He felt useless and tired of laying and sitting down all day. One day he heard Eunha arguing with somebody on the phone as he was walking to the kitchen. "No Jisu I have a dinner to go to with Minho I cannot go with you to an art exposition " he heard Eunha say on the phone. He felt bad for eavesdropping but he felt that if he went upstairs Eunha would see him and think that he was doing it on purpose. "Jisu you should have told me before you bought the ticket," she continued. His guilt got to him and Taemin pretended as if he was just walking in and hadn't noticed her. She smiled and waved at him. He waved back and Eunha then said "wait, I think I know who can come with you".

Taemin had done this to show his gratitude. He had done this without complaint and was getting ready to go to the museum. He talked on the phone with Jisu and she had told him that she would also take him to dinner for accompanying her. He felt terrible and refused but she wouldn't take no for an answer. Taemin dressed himself in one of the suits that Minho had bought him. It was an expensive suit and he paired it with expensive shoes. All of these people were spoiling him and he couldn't stop himself from feeling bad. He was done getting ready and was waiting for her to pick him up. He sat in the living room couch and Minho walked downstairs also dressed nicely. Minho looked as if those clothes had been made for him and Taemin couldn't stop but look at him. Minho smiled and then said "Taemin why are you so dressed up? Did Eunha invite you to he dinner? If so then I'm glad". Taemin shook his head "I'm going on a dat-" he cut himself off not knowing if this was a date. Unsure he just answered "I'm going to dinner with Jisu". Minho's smile disappeared "oh. I see" is all he could make himself say. Taemin wasn't sure as to why this had annoyed Minho and he could feel the guilt rising again. As he was about to ask Minho his phone vibrated and he answered it. "Hello" he said with his eyes still on Minho. "yes I'll be right out" was what Taemin said to Jisu on the phone and Minho gave him a glare. "I'll see you after you come back from your dinner" Taemin said to Minho and walked to the door. Minho just stood there jealousy overtaking him. The door shut behind Taemin. Minho sighed, his mood ruined. He didn't want to go to the dinner anymore but he had to. It was for one of his business partners and many other colleagues would be there. He knew Eunha had been looking forward to it so he decided to put his feelings behind and be professional. "I'm ready" Eunha said walking down the stairs. Minho faked a smile as they walked to their car. Their chauffeur was waiting and he opened their door. They then drove to the dinner.

Taemin and Jisu were enjoying spending time together. They had glasses of wine as they walked around the museum. Their newest exposition was portraits and sceneries that had been painted by a friend of Jisu's mother. Her mother was ill and couldn't visit the exposition but Jisu had said she would go for her. All of the women and men there were older than Taemin and Jisu and they both felt awkward due to this. "Taemin thank you so much again for accompanying me, I'm sorry to have bothered you" Jisu said as they sat down in a seating area. "It is not a bother at all, you're company is very lovely" he said smiling at her. Her heart sped as she looked at him and she smiled back. She then looked down at her watch "I think we've been here long enough, do you want to head to the restaurant?" She asked him. "Yeah sure, whatever you want is ok with me" he said. She nodded and said "I'm going to go say goodbye, wait for me here" and went to go find her mothers friend. Taemin stood for a couple of minutes waiting. Jisu then returned and said "ok we are good to go" and they walked out to the car.

Minho and Eunha were at their dinner and while she was having the time of her life like always, he couldn't stop thinking about Taemin. He kept drinking wine and even though he had a high tolerance for alcohol, Eunha would soon notice that it was more than thirst that was driving his arm each time he picked up a new glass. Hours passed by and it was nearly midnight so Minho decided he wanted to go home. "Eunha, honey I think it's time to go hime" he said trying his best to sound loving. Eunha looked at him and giggled as she playfully slapped his chest and said "Minho I think we can stay a little longer right?". Minho was not having it "Eunha lets go" he said in an annoyed and not only was she startled, but so were the guests around them. Minho never spoke like that to her, especially not in public. The jealousy and alcohol had clouded his mind and he was not thinking straight. Sober Minho would've known better, he would've known all the rumors this could spread. But all drunk Minho could think about was Taemin. She continued to smile and said "Minho you're right it's late and we have an early flight tomorrow" she said to him but she really just wanted everyone else to hear. No way was she going to let this ruin her perfect marriage. She grabbed her purse and turned to put her arm through his, but as she did she saw that he had already walked away.

Jisu drove Taemin to a pet of town he had never been in. All of the houses here were smaller as were the business. She stopped at what looked like a ramen stand. "Ok Taemin call me crazy but I'm really craving ramen and this place serves the best ramen in town. I would never bring anyone else here but I feel comfortable with you. My nuna who took care of me when my parents were away always brought me her and I'm just attached to this place. I know it's not a five star restaurant like the ones you're used to but can we eat here today? I promise I'll take you out somewhere nicer next time"Jisu explained. Taemin smiled at the innocence and genuineness that Jisu was displaying. "Of course we can eat here" he said to her. She couldn't hold herself back and she hugged him from across the car seat. "Thank you! I haven't been here since forever" she said. He blushed and then they both got out of the car. She ordered to bowls and as hey waited they talked and got to know each other. Jisu could feel herself falling for him. Taemin was enjoining the company and then their ramyen arrived. They ate and talked until it was midnight. They then drove back to the Choi's, still laughing and talking on the way there. When they arrived they both got out and she walked him to do the door. "This seems backwards" tamein said jokingly and she smiled at him. She then couldn't pull herself back and she kissed him. Jisu could feel her heart skipping and all Taemin felt was awkwardness. As she closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss, he kept his opened with a look of confusion. Then the door to the house opened and there was Minho watching the two kiss.
