[1/1]

"Hyung...hyung It's okay..." Jongin comforts the sobbing boy. "It's gonna be okay..." The younger knew how his boyfriend got at times, his emotions would be all over the place if something upsetting happened. "Don't worry hyung, I'm going to be alright..."

Taemin sniffles and looks up at the younger. "I...It isn't! You can't leave me...y-you can't...."

"I'm not, not forever," Jongin frowns, holding the older close. "Aren't you happy I've finally debuted...?"

The boy shakes his head, the other's shirt now drenched in tears. "D-don't leave me....d-don't..."

Jongin sighs, lightly kissing the older's lips. What could he do for his crybaby boyfriend, the one he loved so much? The one who was always so scared of him moving on to bigger and better things? In Jongin's heart, he was sure that nothing was better than Taemin. "D-don't cry, h-hyung..." The younger's voice shakes as he speaks, and when the other looks up he realizes it's because he has also started to cry.

"Jonggie..." Taemin frowns, cupping his cheeks. "I-if I can't cry....n-neither can you!"

Tears continued to flow down their faces, and soon Jongin started to laugh. "It's strange, isn't it? Both of us crying like this..."

Taemin laughs along with him, finally able to stop crying for a second to kiss the younger's forehead. "You'll do so well, kai..." He calls him by his stage name, causing him to blush.

"D-don't call me that..." Jongin pouts. "Fans can call me that...b-but you're more than that."

"I'm your number one fan,"Taemin chuckles. "I love you...."

Jongin wipes the tears off the other boy's face, and smiles softly. "I love you...so much."

Suddenly Jonghyun bursts in the room, grinning ear to ear. "Kai! Congrats on debuting!"

Jongin smiles, still holding his boyfriend tightly. "Gomawo hyung."

"Are you nervous for promotions tomorrow?" Asks key, who sits beside them on the couch. "Make sure you get lots of sleep alright? I didn't sleep a wink before we started promoting SHINee, and as soon as we got there I threw up."

"Way to make him feel better, Key," Jonghun laughs, ruffling the other's hair. "Do well okay sweetie? We'll be rooting for you."

Jongin smiles, pulling away from the older boy. "I'm going to miss you guys while I'm gone..." He smiles, standing up. "It'll be a while before we get to see each other again..."

Minho frowns, wrapping Jongin in a hug. "We'll always be rooting for you, even if we can't see each other. Be sure to call lots, arasso?"

"Nae.." He smiles weakly, looking at all of the SHINee boys. "EXO will be rooting for our favorite sunbaenims too."

"Don't tell SuJu sunbaes you said that~" Onew laughs, munching on a piece of chicken.

Jongin laughs and stretches out his arms. "Well, I should probably get back to the dorms then..." He sighs.

Taemin pouts, jumping up from his sitting position and holding the younger's hands in his own. "You really have to leave?" He asks, and jongin nods.

"You're coming to see me off tomorrow though, right?"

"Nae," He promises, pecking his lips. "I love you baby..."

Jongin smiles. "I love you too hyung. Don't be sad alright?"

"Alright..." He chuckles, kissing him once more before Jongin takes his leave.

"Where have you been, hyung?" Sehun asks Jongin walks into the dorm. "Where you back with Taemin-hyung?"

"Oh~ what were you and Taemin doing?" Chanyeol winks, his booming laugh probably waking up the other sleeping members. "Ah, you guys are so cute."

Jongin blushes, making their manager frown. "Speaking of which...Kai, can I talk to you?"

"Hn...? S-sure..." He blushes, nervously fidgeting with his thumbs.

The manager looks at the other two boys. "Alone." He says, and they nod, going upstairs.

He takes a deep breath before he begins to talk. "Look, I know you and Taemin feel something for eachother, but, since you're debuting...I don't thinks it's a good idea for you two to see each other anymore."

"B-but--!" Jongin begins, but he's cut off.

"No buts. Imagine what would happen if fans found out, or other people from SM...?"

The younger twiddles his thumbs and looks down. "You...you want me to break up with him?"

He nods."If it were up to me I'd allow it, but for exo's sake..."

"I understand," Jongin says bluntly, masking his emotions. "I'll talk to him tomorrow..."

"I'm sorry sweetie..." The older frowns, ruffling his hair. "Thank you, you've already done so much for EXO...."

Jongin smiles a fake smile as the manager hugs him. "I'm going home now, but I'll see you tomorrow, Kai."

He nods right before the older leaves, and lands with a thump onto the couch.

As he drifts to sleep, he silently hopes tomorrow never comes.

"Kai!" Taemin squeals as he sees the other arrive at the airport. He'd gotten there an hour prior, anxious to see the younger boy. "Jonggie, I missed you so much already..." He promised himself he wasn't going to cry again. He had sobbed his way to the airport, and it had took him quite a while to calm down.

Taemin holds the younger close, and he can feel the hot tears welling up in his eyes. Don't cry, don't cry...

Often Taemin wished he could hold in his feelings better. He wished he was good at pretending that he wasn't bothered by certain things, and that he could pretend he was just happiness and sunshine 24/7. Most of all, he wished he could be there for Jongin, the strong one of the relationship. He never could find the right things to say when the other was upset, even though Jongin was so good at comforting him.

"Hyung...I-I...." Jongin starts, tensing up and softly pushing the older away.

Taemin looks up at him and tilts his head. "What's wrong Jonggie?"

"I...I..it's...we're in public."

"So?" Things like this had never bothered the younger before, so why did it matter now?

Jongin avoids the other's gaze and looks down at his feet. "We can't do things like this anymore."

Taemin frowns. "Fine, jjonggie. We can keep the public affection to a minimum."

"T-that isn't what I-I meant..." Jongin tries again, his brows knitted tightly together in concentration. "W-we can't be together anymore. Imagine what would happen to your reputation, baby."

The older's heart sinks. "S-saeng, you don't mean that...I-I love you, I c-can't be with someone other than you...I-I don't care if others know!" The tears from earlier threaten to spill again, but he refuses to let them.

"I do, hyung. This...us...it has to stop." The younger pulls a small silver ring off his finger, and Taemin remembers it well. He had given it to the other on their first anniversary. It feels much heavier than it should as it drops into his hands. "Hyung, thi-"

Suddenly Chanyeol's deep voice booms through their ears. "Jongin, come on! We gotta go!" he calls from the line for security.

Jongin sends Taemin an appologetic look. "I...I have to go..." He says quietly, resisting his own urge to cry as he runs towards his friends. He secretly wishes he could take what he said back, that they could just be a little more secretive about their relationship now..but he knows of course that isn't an option.

He promised himself he wouldn't look back to his hyung, but he can't help it. He wishes he didn't when he sees Taemin sitting on a nearby bench, crying so hard he has to gasp for air and is visably shaking while the paparazzi is snapping photos of him. Jongin wants to go back, he needs to, but...but he isn't sure if he'll be strong enough to go back to his friends afterwards.

"Chanyeol-hyung, save my spot!" Kai tells the older before he makes his way back to Taemin, who's shakily dialing Minho's number.

Hesitantly Jongin grabs his hyung's wrist, pulling him until he finds a spot to hide from paparazzi.

"Hyung, did you know that I know magic?" Jongin asks, looking at him with a small smile.

Taemin looks up at him, his eyes puffy and red."J-jonggie, w-what are you..."

"There's one spell I know that only works for you...for my crybaby boyfriend."He smiles, kissing the tears from Taemin's cheeks. "It's a magic spell to stop the tears..."

"I can't ruin your career by showing our relationship to the public..." Jongin sighs as he faces the older again, feeling himself on the brink of tears as well. "But maybe...after a little while...I-I can have my crybaby boyfriend back..?"

"He'll be waiting, always..." Taemin whispers, so low Jongin can barely hear him.

The younger gives his hand a quick squeeze before getting back up. "Now please...smile."

Taemin just nods, smiling through his tears as he sees the younger leaving. He's so happy, yet he isn't even sure if what happened was a good thing.

"I'm sorry..." Jongin whispers to himself as he resumes his place beside chanyeol.

His hyung can't help but glance at him once more. "Thank you."

Taemin looks down at the ring Jongin had placed in his palm and let out a sigh. It would just be selfish to keep 'Kai' to himself. Jongin wanted fans, he wanted to dance and sing...and If Taemin didn't get in the way, he knew he'd be able to.

"This i-is the end..." Taemin admits to himself in defeat, clutching the ring in his hand. Even though Jongin said otherwise, he was fairly sure anyway. He yet he was so thankful for this tanned skinned angel, his best friend and lover, he couldn't even prevent himself from smiling. This time, no matter what, he wasn't going to cry.

A/N: *le sobs* I ship them so hard, and I just realized I haven't wrote any fics about them <(;~~;)> I'll hopefully write more TaeKai in the future~ <3
