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

Ch 8: Risk It

Taemin began packing his bags. He was done with Minho's attitude. He could no longer take the feelings that made his chest beat so loudly. He didn't want to accept them either, since Minho was married and he was a man. His sexuality had never been in question until he is kissed Minho's soft lips. Taemin shook his head, he didn't want to think about Minho anymore. He packed three suitcases filled with as much of his clothes as he could. He didn't have much so he didn't have to worry about leaving anything valuable behind. Taemin had called his friend Jongin to ask if he could stay with him until he found an apartment. Jongin was ecstatic to say the least, he would love Taemin's company.

As he got the courage to walk through the door and downstairs, he was careful and made sure that Minho wasn't around. Having looked around he thought he was clear so he began to move as fast as he could. Jongin was outside waiting for him in his Lamborghini. Yep, Jongin was rich and that is what made Taemin feel like he wouldn't be such baggage to him. Although Taemin didn't exactly know what Jongin did for a living, he never questioned him as he did not want him to think that he cared about his riches. His friendship was enough to Taemin and he was grateful that he was helping him out. As he sped walked to the door and thought he had made it, he was stopped mid-step by a pair of arms. "Taemin,"  he knew who it was and so he was afraid to look back. "Taemin, I know what I did was wrong and I apologize. And I will never do it again but please don't go." He said sounding sincere to Taemin. "The problem is I might want you to do it again" Taemin didn't know where those words had come from, or why and how they had managed to escape his lips. "What?" Minho said his heart filling with hope. Taemin tried to release himself, but then they heard the front door jiggle. Eunha walked through the door with a couple other assistants who were holding her shopping bags.

As she gave them directions, Minho and Taemin collected themselves. "Why is Kim Jongin outside our house?" Eunha asked. Taemin was confused as to how she knew who his friend was. Minho looked confused and asked his wife "what are you talking about?". Eunha looked frustrated, she did not wish to explain herself. "His car is outside and when I walked out of he car, he looked at me and waved. I waved back since I have manners, but I want to know why the spoiled brat who owns that shampoo brand that didn't want to work with us is outside". Taemin looked at them with a confused expression, then he remembered he hadn't exactly ever asked Jongin what type of company his dad ran. "Um, Mrs.Choi, that is my friend Jongin and as you can see I'm moving out so he came to pick me up." Taemin said feeling small and sorry for the woman in front of him. He somehow felt guilt for the things Minho had done to him and as much as he wanted to apologize, he couldn't without telling her what Minho had done. "Oh, well you're welcome to stay he as long as you want, I don't know why you want to leave. Are you uncomfortable in our house?" She asked unsure if he was leaving since their house wasn't at the level of the Kim family. "No. no Mrs.Choi. I feel as if I have intruded on your marriage enough and I think it would be better if I stayed with my bachelor friend" Taemin said feeling bad for making Jongin wait outside, and wanting to leave soon. He could feel Minho's eyes burning into him and truthfully he didn't understand why he was so aggravated. "Oh ok well have a safe trip" Eunha said, honestly she was losing interest in the ordeal, and she wanted to speak with her husband so it was better if Taemin wasn't in he house. "Thank you so much for having me and for your hospitality" Taemin said bowing, he then began to walk towards the door. Minho had the urge to go after him. How couldnt he, as Taemin had said that he was staying with his arch rival, he wanted to bring him back inside even more. He wanted it badly yet he couldn't allow himself to move since Eunha was waiting to speak with him. Minho had learned all of her facial expressions, and though they didn't usually argue, he knew when she was mad. He prepared himself for the migraine that was to come with his grumpy wife.

***********

A few days had passed since Taemin left the Choi residence, and the first day after, when he was at work he avoided Minho. He had avoided Minho since and it was making him crazy. He wanted to see his Taemin. Ha his Taemin, he laughed at the thought of calling him that. He couldn't picture the day when that dream would come true. Truthfully he had always grabbed what he wanted, as he was a spoiled kid. He wasn't just spoiled but, he was like a kid who craved candy and Taemin was the forbidden caramel that he couldn't have. As he was deep in his thoughts he was startled when he heard a knock on the door. He yelled "come in" still deep in thought. The person who walked wasn't just the most unexpected, but also one he did not wish to see. "Hello Minho" Jongin said, a grin spreading across his face. "How have you been he said sitting down without being asked. But when didn't Jongin just do as he pleased, Minho thought to himself. "What brings you here" Minho said not wanting to waste his time on such a person. "I just swung by to see how you were doing" he said. That, to Minho, was the most ridiculous excuse he could think someone would say. "I'm great, is that all you wanted" Minho said irritated. "Woah" Jongin chuckled "what's the big idea, why can't we just act like civilized people around each other for once". Minho was in a bad enough mood, he didn't need Jongin's presence to ruin it even more. "I just came to give you an offer from my father, he told me to give you this" he said giving him a file. "I just came to drop it off to check on Taemin" at the sound of his name Minho felt a bigger anger towards Jongin. "I will look it over and have my people call yours" Minho said wanting Jongin gone. "Ok that's fine. Well I'll be leaving then" Jongin said getting up, Minho wanted to be courteous and so he walked him to the door.
He was was about to close it when he saw Taemin passing by. Minho was about to wave at him But then he saw Jongin approach him. He put his arm around his shoulder and squeezed his side. Taemin laughed and said his goodbye to Jongin, then kept walking.

Taemin's POV

"Taemin" I heard my name. As soon as I heard it I knew exactly who it was coming from. I froze unable to choose if I should ignore him or if I should look over to him. I took a deep breath and decided to face him. "Yes, Mr.Choi?" I asked unable to look him in the eye.  "In my office now" he said demandingly, and as he was my boss I followed his orders. I stepped inside his office, and the aura was now, different. Before I wouldn't have felt anything besides shy when is stepped into the office, now I felt intimidated. I sat down in a chair across from his and he remained standing. "Taemin, though this is wrong I just want to spill my feelings. I can't stop thinking about you. My mind is filled with your voice, your face and your sweet smell" he said desperation in his tone. I felt myself become speechless. The truth was I couldn't stop thinking about him either. In my sleep I had dreams of us together, and when I saw him in the office my heart would race. But then there was the fact that he was married. I wasn't about to be a home wrecker . "Mr.Choi I feel as if your confession is very sweet,  but I'd like to remind you that you are married. Being forward like this with an employee seems.. inappropriate " as I said it I could feel my heart sinking. I felt though that it needed to be said. He was sipping coffee as I said this but when I said inappropriate he was caught off guard so much so that he dropped his coffee all over himself. I knew he liked it almost boiling so he screamed when it hit his shirt. "Mr.Choi" I instinctively got up and found a rag to clean him with a as I rubbed he looked down at me. He then did the unexpected, or unexpected for me at least and he sat me on his desk. About to protest he shut me up with a kiss. I was bewildered that in times where he could have burnt himself, he would have the audacity to do such a thing. At first I tried to pull away but then I gave in. I had dreamt about having his lips on mine again for days and now that it was coming true I couldn't believe my luck. The kiss for deeper as his tongue  started to ask for permission to enter my mouth. Engulfed in the heat of the moment I allows it. I was the best and most intense experience I could recall ever having going through in my whole life. When I pulled away he looked at me. "Taemin I could care less about Eunha. You just proved to me that you have at least a little bit of feelings for me. If you do I want to risk it all for you and I'll only do it if you let me." He looked at me sincerely. "I'm handing you my heart Lee Taemin, and I'm asking, do you want to take it?."
