Kiss Kiss Kiss

Taemin~

I open my eyes to the night sky, no stars in sight. I sigh and push myself up. Someone has put a blanket on me. I smile and fight against a yawn. Key comes walking through the door. "Hello Hyung." He sits with his legs crossed in front of me. "Good sleep?"

"Excellent."

"You've been in need of a good sleep." He bites his lips and I notice the laptop in his hands. "There's something I need to show you."

"Okay."

"While you were sleeping, Jonghyun went on Twitter. He saw Minho and Takeru on TwitCam." He turns the computer. "These are just some screen shots." I watch as he scrolls through the pictures. Minho lays wrapped in a blanket on a bed with Takeru sitting beside him, I can see his bare chest. My mind wanders.. What if they...? No! He wouldn't. More pictures come up; He's gotten up and he has no shirt on; Takeru has his arm wrapped around him, they get close enough to kiss. The last picture is fuzzy but I can make it out. Takeru is kissing Minho. I know he is. My hand shakes. "I tried to figure out what the last one was but it's blurry."

"They're kissing."

"It doesn't have to be that they're kissing."

"We both know they are."

"I've explored other options."

"He's clearly chosen. I wasn't good enough for him."

"Don't you dare say that!" An unfamiliar anger rises in Key's eyes.

"I'm being honest."

"You are the best person I know. Minho is stupid if he doesn't see that you are madly in love with him and the only one who's good for him. You deserve to be happy and if he's being a jerk to you, it's his fault. People only get one chance at life and he's screwing everything up. For both of you."

"Do you think so?"

"I know so. You Lee Taemin, are the best, happiest and most deserving person in the world. I hate seeing you unhappy. If you're after honesty, I'm rooting for you two. He needs to realize who's going to be here for him in the end." I look at my hands.

"I called it love when it was only a crush."

"I believe it was love."

"Love is a fleeting thing, Key."

"What do you mean?"

"Love is like a butterfly. It comes and makes your life beautiful. But it's only for a little while. Butterflies take from one flower and move on to the next." I take a deep breath. "Love is something that stays for a limited time and leaves when it's done. It leaves because there's only so much of it in the world and everyone needs a little bit of it."

"That's very insightful and wise."

"I guess."

"Do you think your love has flown away?"

"I ran out of time."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"For love to fly away, it needs to be there in the first place."

"It was."

"In only so many ways. I said I loved him, he wrote that he loved me. We never really came out and said it to each other."

"You're very smart Taemin."

"Thanks." We stare up at the night sky together. So many nights pass by in this world. We're all under the same sky, many of us sharing the same wish.
