Chapter Four

TAEMIN'S POV

Taemin awoke to a loud clap of thunder. He was cuddling a pillow to his chest, curled into a tight ball, seat drenched his bed a PJ's. The nightmares just didn't seem to feel like going away. Taemin rubbed his temples, trying to calm his breathing. Every night it was the same dream. It would always replay the day Key had to leave him. No matter how many times he had the dream, he couldn't get used to it. It always got to him. He never cried tho, no, he would never cry at the loss of Key. Why? Because he knew they would fin eachother again.....someday, and Key wouldn't  want him to be sad, only happy.

Taemin sighed, looking at the clock. It read 4:59 a.m., the same time he woke up every night/morning. Sighing again Taemin slid out of bed, grabing random clothes and went to the bathroom. He turned on the shower and striped out of his damp clothes. He steped into the shower, leting the scolding hot water run over his soft, pale skin. Taemin stood under the hot water leting it sooth his muscles and drain away all the depression and emptyness the dream had conjered up. The water finally started to turn cold. Turning the shower off, he steped out  and dryed off slowly. after he dressed, he went into the kitchen of his appartment, grabing his phone off the counter, checking it. He had one missed call from minho from yesterday. Taemin listened to the voice mail.

"Taeminnie! Be ready by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow for you'r birthday shopping!" Jonghyun and Minho yelled excitedly through the phone. Taemin chuckled to himself. He loved his friends. They did everything to make him have fun and to never give up hope. He checked his phone for the time to see it was already 9:00 a.m.

"Did I really take a four hour shower?!" He exclaimed. Taemin ran to his room, rumaging through his closet for something to wear. He threw clothes in every direction, Finally deciding on a black shirt  with white writing that said 'Raise you'r voice louder louder louder,' in big letters and a pair of black skinny jeans and black convers. He strightened his blond locks into perfection. A moment later the door bell rang. Taemin ran to the door, pulling it open.

"HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY TAEMIN!" Jonghyun and Minho yelled excitedly, holding a cute little cupcake with a candle up to his face.

"Make a wish!" Minho said. Taemin chuckled. He closed his eye's tightly. 

'I wish for my Key to find me....to come home.' 

Taemin blew out the candle. 

The two boys smiled at him. Taemin rolled his eye's. "Come on. I thought you two were taking me birthday shopping!" He took the cupcake out of their hands, un wrapping it, and shoved it all into his mouth. "HMM! This is really good!" He exclaimed.

"Minho made it." Jonghyun bragged. Minho scratched that back of his head sheepishly.

"It was really good Minho, thanks. Now I see why you went into culinary for collage." Taemin said, skipping down the stairs.

"Well you know....." He trailed off, a smile on his lips.

"Wait up Taemin!" Jonghyun said running to the boy's side, pulling him to a stop.

"What?" Taemin asked. Minho smirked coming up behind him and placing a blindfold over Taemin's eye's. "What are you doing?" Taemin asked confused.

"We are not going to get sidetracked, and we also don't want you to see where were taking you." Jonghyun chuckled.

"Please no lingerie or sex stores.....I'm still scarred from last time." The two older boys laughed nerviously, not wanting tto go back to THAT incident.

"No nothing like that Taemin- Ah. We promise." Minho said. Taemin sighed in relife.

"Good." Minho and Jonghyun took either of Taemin's hands, leading him towards the stores they wanted to take him to.
