The Ugly Twin #Wattys2017

Chapter 35 - Accident

Key didn't have any guts to see Taemin's face. He kept his eyes down on the floor. His whole body trembled as he clutched desperately on Onew's hand.

"Key." Taemin whispered his name out. The almond haired boy looked so shocked with Key's sudden appearance.

Onew gulped and smiled. "Key said he want to help solving this problem."

"Help?" Taemin immediately snapped. "What can he do to help? He will just worsen the situation!"

Key shut his eyes closed tightly as he snuggled closer to Onew. He had been Taemin's best friend for years but this was the first time Taemin raised his voice at him.

"H-he has his own w-way." Onew stuttered out. "C-Calm down, Taemin. Let Key explain everything."

"There's nothing to explain!" Taemin roarred. "If 'talk' that you meant before is talking to this kid, I don't want to do it. Go home, hyung."

"W-wait!" Onew extended his hand to grab Taemin's hand before the almond boy moved back into the house.

"Let go!" Taemin shouted and pushed Onew away. "I don't want to see that crap's face ever again!"

Key felt an arrow hit his heart hard, choking him with pain. He knew he deserved every single treatment Taemin just show him. He had prepared himself for all the curses and harsh words Taemin would tell him before, but it felt so different in the real life.

"Please listen to Key first, Taemin." Onew pleaded, still not letting go of Taemin.

"No!" Taemin said sternly. "I'm not hearing any bullshit that come out from him anymore! Now go and leave me alone!"

Key's tears spilled out of his eyes. His legs went weak like a jelly and he lost his balance. He fell on his knees with a loud thud and gained attention from the other two.

Taemin and Onew immediately stopped fighting and froze when they saw Key had kneeling on the floor.

"Taemin-ah, I'm sorry." Key let out a pathethic whimper. "I'm really really sorry... I knew I had done w-wrong... But please give a chance to fix what I've done. I-, I promise I would makeup ev-everything with Jongin. P-please give me a chance."

Taemin almost felt sorry toward the kneeling boy but his brain immediately shout another words

. "I don't believe you." Taemin shook his head. "You lied to me, Key. You had lied to me too many times."

Shit, it hurts.

Taemin's words hurt Key's feeling so much. Like a super sharp knife stabbing his heart.

Onew couldn't do anything. No matter how much he wanted to defend his boyfriend, Key had warned him to stay out from this problem as far as he could. Key also didn't want Onew to defend him and made Taemin even angrier.

"I'm sorry..." Key whispered as he clutched the floor desperately. "I know I was such a jerk... I'm sorry..."

"You are!" Taemin shouted as fresh tears flew down from his eyes. "Do you know what you have done? You have ruined me! You have ruined my family! You have ruined everything, Kim Kibum! EVERYTHING!"

Key cried harder as more and more guilt ate him alive. He knew exactly what was happening. He had planned to make Taemin living hell before, but now he regretted it. All of it.

"Aren't you sattisfied with my condition now? HUH?" Taemin started to sob hysterically. "Jongin is angry with me! Minho is angry with me! All the people in the college are talking about me! ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANT, KEY???"
