Taemin and Minho were happily walking down the street when Taemin suddenly stopped. He gripped the bottom of Minho's shirt and moved slightly behind him, which confused Minho quite a bit. 

"You okay, Taeminnie?" he asked, but Taemin just shook his head and motioned to the guy who was passing them. He was eyeing the two of them curiously, and suddenly stopped, turning to the both of them. 

"Taemin-ah!" he cried, grinning. "Lee Taemin, right?"

"Hello, Jihun," Taemin said quietly. 

"Man, I haven't seen you since like high school! You go to college?"

"Yes," Taemin replied curtly. Jihun looked up at Minho and then back at Taemin. 

"Looks like you never got over your gay phase, huh?" he smirked, and Minho knew that his instinct about this guy had been right. 

"Hey, leave him alone, ," Minho growled. 

"Ooh, tough guy you got here, Taemin," Jihun laughed. 

"Go away," Minho warned. 

"It's okay, hyung," Taemin said lightly. "Jihun is just jealous that I have the perfect soulmate and he doesn't. Let's go."

"Jealous?" Jihun scoffed, raising his voice, but Taemin and Minho had already started to walk away. "Y-yeah right!"

"You did well to just ignore him though. I think you hit the mark," Minho laughed. "Anyway, I probably would have punched him if you hadn't said that, so thanks, Taeminnie."

"He used to bully me all the time for being like I am, and it bothered me until I met you," Taemin smiled. "I adore you, hyung."

"I adore you too, Taeminnie."

The keyword in K-Pop these days has been bullying, and I was at the house sick today so I did a lot of reading on that topic, which is why bullying is today's topic. Guys, never bully people. Never, no matter how much you can't stand them or how vulnerable they are. I abhor bullying.
