Tae Min (SHINee): Waiting.

Hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in winding out

The shine of it has caught my eye.

(Dashboard Confessional-Vindicated)

You let out a sigh as you lean your head against the wall behind you. It was midnight and here you are, waiting outside a fancy restaurant for your boyfriend. He was 3 hours late and while waiting for him, you took out  your iPod and decided to listened to some music to pass the time. He was always late and you were tired of this.

You sniffled as you pull the peach knitted sweater tighter around your body. You could hear the thunder rumbled above you over the loud music you were listening. You kept debating if you still wanted to wait for him or not. You could’ve just left but if you do, Tae Min would totally flip out on you.

You waited. Waiting…waiting….waiting and waiting for that one person who never came at all. It was half past midnight and it was already raining. Everything was worthless. The effort you put so hard to make your make up and hair perfect was worthless as it was being ruined by the rain.

This was supposed to be the best birthday ever for you and he just ruined it by not showing up. You took off your heels and went over to the sidewalk to call a cab. You were tired of waiting for him.

~~~

          Tae Min chuckled as he watched Running Man. He looked around, wondering where you were. It was way past midnight and it was weird that you weren’t home yet. And it was weird that none of his friends were bothering him with calls tonight. Usually, Kai or Min Ho would call him to hang out with them but tonight his phone was quiet for the first time.

          He tensed up as he heard the sound of keys clinkings. His eyes stayed on the door and when the door opened, he stood up. His eyes wandered over your soaking hair and drenching clothes along with the mascara running down his face. He didn’t know if he was blind or his eyes was playing tricks on him.

          Despite the fact that in other people’s eyes you look horrendous, but for Tae Min…You could still look beautiful looking just like that. His lips were just about to curl up in a smile until he noticed that cold glare you gave him.

“_______, is everything okay?” Tae Min as he reach out to touch you.

          You swatted his hand away as the anger blazed in your eyes. Your jaw clenched as you close the door behind you,

“Jagiya…What’s wrong?” Tae Min asked again as he grabbed your wrist, forcing you to turn around and face you.

“Let me go, Tae Min. I really don’t want to talk to you…” You mumbled as you struggled out of his grip.

“No, tell me what’s wrong and I’ll let you go. I can’t stand if someone makes you sad or angry…” He said, letting go of your hand.

“Fine. You really wanna know why I’m like this? It’s because of you, Lee Tae Min!” You scoffed,

          Tae Min’s eyes furrowed. He looked at you again, noticing the wet dress that clung onto your body. You were dressed for some special occasion and at that moment he knew what was going on….

“Jagi, I swear I-”

“No, don’t say it.” You hissed at him,

“Look, I’m really really sorry…I was-” Tae Min continued,

“Busy? Busy with what? The tv? Please, Tae Min…Save the excuses for the next time you bailed on me.” You scoffed and you could tell that he was having  a hard time trying to hold his temper.

“I was having a day off, I wanted to relax, and I thought there was nothing I could possibly forget. I assumed that other people showed up at the birthday party of yours, so it didn’t really matter if I don’t show up.” Tae Min said calmly,

“Tae Min, I wanted to spend my birthday with you. This could possibly be the last birthday I would have…And it meant the world to me if you did show up….” You said, quietly.

“You have tons of birthdays ahead, _______. Let’s just not make a big deal out of this, I forgot and I’m sorry.” Tae Min said before turning on his heel to sit back on the sofa.

          Your jaw dropped open as you watch him turn back to the tv. Anger was building up rapidly in your chest as the tears were threatening to pour out.

“I waited for you in the rain in the middle of the night! And is that all you can say?!” You raised your voice a little.

          You heard Tae Min let out a heavy sigh before standing up to turn to look at you. He was angry. The way his mouth was set in a straight line and those cold eyes that played no emotions, you knew he was angry.

“I’m sick and tired of hearing you complaint about everything. I was having a great day, relaxing and you had to come in and ruin it all? It’s just a stupid birthday! Don’t be immature,______.” He said,

“Immature?! It’s not just the birthday, you bailed on me on our dinner dates, our 2nd anniversary, and you forgot about everything! It was always the same excuse!” You yelled,

“You should know this would happen the moment you told me you loved me! If I had known you could be a brat about this, I would’ve have never told you that I loved you!” Tae Min yelled in your face,

“So you regret saying that you love me 2 years ago? Is that it? I’m not being a brat, Tae Min! I’m sick and tired of hearing you say the same things! I’m sick of waiting for you like an idiot, hearing your excuses and your lies!” You yelled back, feeling as if you could burst into a million pieces in any minute.

“I hope this would be the last birthday you’ll have! You know why, because I rather having you dead than having a girl who can never stand something stupid like this!”

          You froze. Is this what he wanted? You being dead? You bite down on your bottom lip as you try to hold back the tears. You wanted to cry but you just didn’t want to look weak in front of him. Your jaw clenched as you raised your hand up, ready to hit him…

But looking back at him….You couldn’t hurt him…You sobbed as you dropped your hand to your side before shutting your eyes and walking away from him. The tears flowed down freely down your face as you walk into the bedroom, locking the door behind you as you cried. You dropped onto the floor as you whimpered.

You didn’t realize how hurtful his words were until you kept coming back to it. He regretted saying that he loves you…And that he wished you were dead…You sobbed louder as the pain surged through your pumping heart.

From the other side of the door, Tae Min’s tears were rolling down his cheek as he listen intently to your heartbreaking sobs and whimpering. He just wished he could take back every single word he said to you. He didn’t meant any of the things he said. He leaned closer to the door and pressed his lips against it as his eyes stayed shut with tears seething through his eyelids.

“I’m sorry, baby…” He whispered.
