ANOTHER STORY // JONGTAE (ENG. VERS.)

Chapter XVIII

Taemin was a little nervous because in a few days they would travel to Seoul to give his testimony again to what happened several years ago. He did not want to see Minho but he was obliged to do so to recast him in prison, in addition to which his husband and family would be supporting him at that time.

He came out of his thoughts when he felt a hand squeezing his shoulder, so he turned to see meeting a familiar smile and lately it was driving him mad. - Is something wrong Tae? - The dark-haired man shook his head and stood up being followed by his friend who was on his heels - I invite you to eat ... in my apartment.

Taemin had opened his eyes for a few weeks, given that one day Jimmin almost kissed him while they were doing a choreography for one of the classes they had together, in addition to the pink-haired girl, his hands went off from time to time, touching parts that did not should. At first Taemin thought it was a coincidence but those touches began to occur very often and discovered that his friend was looking at him coquettishly, in addition that his best friend, Ravi, had already warned him after his husband did it, but as he still thought that Jimmin had no other intentions towards him, he ignored it until this day.

- Thanks for the invitation but I have to reject it - he continued on his way until he reached the exit of the academy where both taught classes to beginners.

- You have always accepted my invitations Taemin, why are you saying no now? - Jimmin walked faster, standing in front of him to prevent him from escaping.

- I have to pick up my children and make dinner, lately I am neglecting the stomachs of my family. It will be in another opportunity.

- You are lying to me - he took him by the arm making him fall back - For days you have rejected my invitations, what is happening? We are not friends?

Taemin sighed and released his grip. - That is what interests me to know Jimmin, I see you as a friend but I know that you do not look at me that way - the youngest looked away when he was discovered - You know that I am married and yet you flirt with me. I am sorry to tell you that you are wrong if you think that I will be unfaithful to my husband or that I will leave him because that will not happen, especially in the near future and I hope that in a distant one too because I am hopelessly in love with him.

- But Taemin, he's the only man you've been with, you should try what ...

- I do not need to be with other people - he interrupted and moved away a little - I know that he is the man of my life, the man that I always dreamed of and I am very happy to have found him. I would like us to continue being friends because I am very fond of you, but if you prefer to walk away I will understand - he smiled and Jimmin looked at him.

- I would not like to lose your friendship but ... - he sighed - I will have to walk away for a while until these feelings disappear - Taemin nodded - See you.

- Sure, see you Jimmin. - Both of them walked away to get into their respective cars and head to their destinations.

When he got home he made dinner after a few months; both his twins and his husband thanked her for cooking since they were bored of eating junk food. Taemin was lost in thought and Jonghyun realized this during dinner, so he waited until they were alone to find out what was wrong with him.

- Everything's okay, honey? - Taemin sat next to him hugging him while the youngest snuggled in his arms watching television.

- Yes, why do you ask? - Taemin kept looking straight ahead and Jonghyun knew he didn't want to talk about it, but he would insist.

- Because you looked a little sad and distracted during dinner. What's up baby? Tell me - Taemin raised his head and the older man kissed him on the lips, encouraging him to tell him what was happening to him.
