SHINee | CRUSHED. (editing but complete)

Chapter 19 - Great.. More worries!

An awkward silence followed as the two maknae's stared at eachother. Key and Jonghyun got quite impatient. 

"So.." Key broke the silence.

"It's not fair!" Taemin outbursted and stormed off. Everyone had backed off from the sudden anger radiating from Taemin. 

"What was that about?" Jonghyun said. Key looked at Jonghyun wide-eyed and shocked before looking at Jessica who was just as shocked. Both ran after him.

"Taemin-ah!" They called. Jonghyun was still shocked. Niya grabbed his arm. 

"I don't know what happened.. I was in the toilet, where is everyone?" She asked. Jonghyun turned and shrugged. 

"Taemin had an outburst and I don't know where everyone else is..?" Just as he replied, Onew, Zoe, Jasmine and Minho walked around the corner to them. 

"Where--" Minho started looking around the corridoor. Jonghyun shrugged. 

"They all just ran off, Taemin reacted badly to Key saying him and Jessica should just be friends and he shouted something about it not being fair...?" 

Kibum and Jessica finally caught up to Taemin.

"Taemin stop please!" Kibum called as he finally grabbed him. Taemin stopped but pulled away from Key's grip. 

"Don't touch me!" Taemin screamed.

"Taemin what's wrong, this is a new side of you!" Kibum said trying to keep his anger back.

"Why do you all get a girlfriend and I shouldn't?" Taemin moaned. 

"Because.. your the maknae, and we don't want to see you hurt Taemin just please, understand, it's for your own good!" Kibum tried to grab his hand but Taemin backed away. 

"Well maybe I'm old enough to not need you, did you ever think of that?! No because you only think of yourself Key!" Taemin's eyes flared and his tone was mean. He turned and ran off as it started to rain. 

"Taemin~" Jessica called but was still catching her breath. Kibum felt the lump in the back of his throat, the words the maknae had said replayed in his mind. Was he really selfish? Key hadn't realised but if that was what Taemin thought, surely the others did too..?

"Key, Jessica~" Onew's voice bellowed. The gang ran over. "Where is Taemin..?" Jessica couldn't speak, she was still catching her breath. Key was looking down at the floor all spaced out thinking about what Taemin had said. Whitney walked over  to him.

"Kibum-ah?" She whined pulling at his arms. He didn't move, he didn't even blink. "What happened? Why is Key like this?" Whitney looked at Jessica who seemed to of finally caught her breath. Everyone looked at Jessica. 

"Well.." She started, quickly summing up what had just happened. "Taemin was mad that Key thought that we should just be friends then he ran off. We caught up to him but he outbursted on Key saying some harsh stuff. I was shocked, I could hardly believe it.. But he ran off.." The rain started to get heavier. Onew looked around.

"Really? Taemin was actually angry?" Jonghyun asked quite amused by this. 

"Jonghyun! That's not the point, where would he have gone?" Minho pushed Jonghyun playfully and looked around. It was getting hard to see anything with the rain getting heavier and heavier. 

"We have to get out of the rain or we will all be ill!" Jasmine warned, everyone agreed.

"What about Taemin?" Jessica whined still looking.

"He will come back, I know he will!" Onew reassured whilst beckoning everyone to follow back to the hospital. "I've texted the chafeur he will meet us at the hospital.." Onew hugged Zoe tightly and walked towards the hospital. Key was still staring at the ground, tears were dropping now, if it weren't for the puffyness of his eyes then no one would know he was crying. Everyone walked off following Onew except Whitney.

"Kibum, come on!" She said tugging at his arm. Key thought harder, ignoring the coldness and the tugging of Whitney, he was worried about Taemin, how can everything go from pure happiness to this. Key never usually cries, but when he does it hits him hard. He finally snapped out of his thoughts when a flash of lightning crashed in the sky. He looked around finally seeing Whitney who was tugging his arm.

"Key!!" She called again, this time he replied.

"..Yes?" His voice was trembly.

"Are you crying..?" She stopped tugging and hugged him "It'll be okay.." She tried to comfort him.

"No, it's just the rain.." He lied. Not wanting to make him feel worse she left it at that.

"Come on the others are waiting at the hospital, let's go before we have a cold..?" She grabbed his hand, it was freezing, but nevertheless, he followed allowing her to pull him. But he couldn't get the words Taemin said out of his head.
