Restart Our Lives

Chapter 3

Once morning hit, Taemin looked at Minho. "Thank you..."

Minho smiled. "Anything for you."

Taemin blushed.

Minho smiled. "Let's make breakfast."

Taemin nodded. "Okay, can we make strawberry pancakes? Those are Key's favorite."

"Okay," Minho smiled. "We'll make some chocolate ones too."

Taemin nodded. "Okay!"

They started cooking.

Key woke up and smiled at Jonghyun.

Jonghyun smiled back. He had woken up earlier and had been watching Key sleep. "Morning,"

"Morning...." Key said quietly.

Jonghyun smiled more at the sound of his voice. "Let's go eat breakfast."

Key nodded. Jonghyun held his hand and led him downstairs.

Mrs. Choi also came down. "Boys, I'm thinking of taking Key and Taemin to therapy."

Key clung to Jonghyun.

"Key's getting a little better. He's talking a little." Jonghyun said, holding him in his lap as he sat down.

"Well, Taemin freaks out really bad around your father. He wouldn't even eat around him." Mrs. Choi said.

Minho pulled Taemin close. "Will it help him?"

"It might." Mrs. Choi said.

Minho looked at Taemin. "Would you be okay with that?"

Taemin didn't answer.

"He'll have to talk to people, but I'll make sure his therapist is a girl." Mrs. Choi said.

Minho nodded. "It wouldn't hurt to try."

"Yeah and if it helps him, he'll heal faster." Mrs. Choi said.

Minho nodded. "We made breakfast."

"Oh, thank you." She said. She helped make everyone's plates and they started eating.

Taemin was quiet as he ate slowly. Key ate happily. He loved strawberry pancakes. Jonghyun smiled at Key.
Key finished his pancakes, finishing a full plate of food for the first time.

Jonghyun smiled. "You ate it all! Do you want more?"

Key shook his head, as he was really full.

"Okay," Jonghyun said.

Taemin ate a few bites of his pancakes. He was nervous about going to therapy.

Minho held his hand. "I'll go with you, okay?"

Taemin looked at Minho. He didn't want to talk to other people.

"She won't make you talk about the really hard stuff until you get to know her." Minho said.

Taemin nodded slowly. He laid his head on Minho's shoulder.

Minho fed him. "Eat some more."

Taemin ate a few more bites.

Minho smiled. "Are they good?"

Taemin nodded. Minho fed him some more.

"Did he not sleep? His eyes are a little red." Mrs. Choi asked.

"We only slept a little." Minho said.

"Oh, why?" Mrs. Choi asked.

"He had a nightmare..." Minho said.
