Taemin in real life.

Part 29

I slammed the door behind me and made my way quickly down the hall. I was going to go to Jongin's room. I hoped he was alone as I didn't want to answer any questions. With Jongin I did not need to tell him what was wrong. He would let me be, and he would listen if I wanted to talk. He would not pry. I just needed to calm down and not go to Chanyeol's room right now.

I knocked hard on the door when I reached his room. Slowly he came to the door.

'What?' he asked a little bleary eyed. 'Oh Taemin, come in' he said as soon as he saw me.

'Are you ok?' he asked as I fell onto the bed.

'Can I stay here for a while?' I asked the tension clear in my voice. He gave me a confused look but nodded his head. He didn't say anymore. Like I said, Jongin did not pry, he would wait until I spoke.

He settled himself back on the bed and we sat in silence watching whatever movie had been playing before I arrived.

He passed me a shot of soju from the bottle he had been drinking. I took it and downed it without a word. I passed the shot glass back to him as he took another for himself and then filled it up and passed it back to me.

I had four shots before I stopped. I was beginning to feel them working on me, but I was a lot calmer than I was when I left my room, although I still did not want to talk about it with anyone.

There was a knock on the door after I had been there for around 45 minutes.

'Yah what now?' Jongin mumbled answering the door. 'Chanyeol' he said, causing me to get up on my feet away from the bed. What was he doing here? I didn't want to see him. In truth, I didn't know what I would do. Jongin though did not know what was going on and let him in.

Chanyeol stopped dead in the middle of the room when he saw me. I stood and stared at him with narrowed eyes, seething. His eyes were slightly red, the look of someone who had been crying. Our eyes met, and I knew, he knew, that she had told me, I could see the look of shame in his eyes. He must have been able to see the anger in mine.

'I'll go' he said very quietly, to Jongin, who looked absolutely baffled by the whole situation. He looked from me with narrowed eyes staring at Chanyeol to Chanyeol who had the grace to look away from me and look ashamed of himself.

'No, I'm going.' I said with deep conviction. My eyes never left his as I pushed my way past him shoving him a little. I added before I left 'I have a girlfriend to get back to. Thanks, Jongin.' I did not turn around to see Chanyeol's face.

However, when I left Jongins room I did not immediately go back to my room. I instead found my way into Keys room.

'What are you doing?' I asked him as I walked in and assessed the situation.

He had a camera out recording himself. He had a wet towel over the back of the bed, like he usually did a face mask on with a towel tied around his neck. He looked completely nuts.

'Oh, you scared me.' He said as he realised I was there.

He said goodbye on his camera as I sat in the corner of the room waiting for him.

'What are you doing here? Go to sleep' he told me fixing the sheets of his bed.

'I can't go back yet, we had a fight.' I told him. I don't know why I was opening up to Key but here I was.

'A fight about what?' he said distractedly checking his skin in the mirror now.

'About Chanyeol kissing her,' I said my head in my hands.

'He did WHAT?' said Key dropping the mirror and looking at me open mouthed.

'Yeah, and then I called her a whore,' I groaned.

'You called her a whore?' he repeated as if it was the most stupid thing in the world.

'I don't know if I said whore so much, I can't remember what I said no. I blamed her.' I told him.

'Do you really blame her?' he asked me, his face was set as serious Key.

'No,' I mumbled.

'Then go back to your room and tell her that. No good telling me.' He sassed at me. But he did make sense.

I nodded and left the room. He was right. He had a way of making you see things with just the tone of his voice. As I stood in the hall about to make my way to my room I suddenly realised I really wanted to be with my girlfriend. I didn't want to fight with her, and I didn't want to blame her.

I ran the whole way there and stopped just short of the door. I checked my watch, I had been about an hour. I hoped she was ok. I caught my breath and opened the door.

She was laid in the bed with her eyes fixed on the tv, he body was turned in the opposite direction of me. She didn't move when she heard me come in, she didn't so much as look at me. I crawled into the bed next to her and touched her arm, stroking it up and down. She didn't tell me to stop.

'I'm sorry, I got angry with you.' I told her with as much sincerity as I had to give. I kissed the top of her shoulder as she turned and looked at me.

She looked tired, upset but not angry anymore.

'If you really think those things you said about me I will leave Taemin. I cannot be with someone who doesn't trust me.' Her face was soft, but her eyes were serious. She was not messing around with me, and this was my warning.

'I don't think that about you baby. I'm sorry I said those things.' I kissed her shoulder again, she was allowing me to which was a good sign.

'Ok, I accept your apology but don't ever speak to me like that again.' She told me sternly.

I sighed looking at her. She was really unlike anyone else I knew. There was no drama here, I apologised, and she accepted, but she told me straight how she felt. It wasn't a threat it was honesty.

'I won't.' I promised her as I got my arms around her and pulled her to face me properly.

I placed a kiss on her lips gently and let out a sigh again. And then to my surprise she said.

'I owe you an apology too.' I looked at her shocked.

'You were right in some ways, Chanyeol must have felt it was ok to do that, so I gave him the wrong impression somehow. For that I apologise to you. I will not see him as often for a while, I'll be more careful.' She was looking up at me my under my shoulder where I had my arms around her. I was taken aback that she apologised. I didn't expect her too, but I was grateful. It made me realise she was more mature than I had taken her for.

'Thank you,' I told her, bending to kiss her again.
