Taemin : tell me the truth now. How many meals did you skip ?

You : molla.. I don't count..

Taemin : are you crazy ? see what happened !

You : I just wanted to be pretty

Taemin : how long have you been doing this ?

You : mm few months

Taemin : how many ?

You : aish about 3.. 4 maybe

Taemin : I can't believe you go through so much just for a guy !

You : ani. This is for myself

Taemin : are you kidding me ? I'm not that stupid

Taemin and you were in the bedroom, sitting on the bed. Taemin had discovered everything, without you noticing, he had stalk on you. For about 4 months, you had been skipping meals, eating only the breakfast. That was the reason why you had faint, the anger and this practice had took over you. On the one hand, your younger by few minutes brother was worried because of your health. On the other hand, he was pissed off that you had to do all this just to catch Minho's attention. He was mad at you but also at the guy for not seeing how you felt about him. He couldn't watch you drown for a man. The further you'd go into this, the more you'd get hurt. Even tough he didn't show it, Taemin loved you a lot and his duty was to protect you as much as he was able to. Seeing tears in your eyes was too much. He asked you to rest a bit, not letting you know his plan.

Minho was with Onew at a coffee shop near the university, both of them didn't have schedule. He almost jumped off his seat when Taemin greeted. This guy was really good at coming out of nowhere and scare people. The youngest sat down, looking straight at Minho. He could see hatred in his eyes and wondered what he did wrong.

Taemin : we need to seriously talk Minho

Onew : why are you so impolite Taemin-ah !

Taemin : shireo. Hyung, don't meddle with this

Onew : yah Lee Taemin !

Minho : can you please leave us alone Onew Hyung ? This seems serious

Onew : I won't leave if Taemin apologizes

Minho : please Hyung

Onew : aishh.. I'll be at the rooftop terrace

Minho : what is bothering you Taemin-ah ?

Taemin : I want you to tell Mia that you don't love her

Minho : uh ?

Taemin : she's going through so many hardships because of you. Put an end to this, tell her that you consider her as a little sister

Minho : I don't understand what you mean

Taemin : Mia is in love with you since the first meeting !

Minho : jinjja ??

Taemin : she changed style only to please you. Do you know why she fainted last day ? She's been skipping meals for 4 months because she wants to look prettier for you. She keeps crying when you don't pay attention to her. I can't let her be like this anymore

This couldn't be true. Minho was dumbfounded, surprised yet the feeling was enjoyable. You were in love with him. A bright smile played on his face which got Taemin even more angry.

Taemin : what are you smiling at ?! Does this amuse you ?

Minho : she loves me.. are you sure about it ??

Taemin : I know my twin very well

Minho : Taemin-ah this is awesome !

Taemin : wae ?

Minho : I need to talk to her. Is she home ?

Taemin : nae

Minho : thanks bro

Minho noticed Taemin's shocked face before leaving. He was probably wondering why Minho suddenly called him this way. Minho felt light and happy while trying to get a taxi. However, fate decided to play with him since none of the taxis stopped.

About an hour later, someone knocked the door. Taemin must have forgotten his keys. With a sigh, eyes still red and inflated because of crying, messy, you walked to the lounge to open the door. Standing in front of you was a panting and sweaty Minho, by his deep breaths you felt his exhaustion.

You : Oppa what are you doing here ?

Minho : I-needed-to-tell-you-something

You : aigoo get in, I'll give you some water

As you poured some fresh water in a glass, you heard him sit on the cold leather couch. You sat beside him and handle him the drink. He drank it all as you observe the movements of his Adam apple. Once he felt better, he put the glass on the coffee table and turned to face you. His sudden stare caused you to shiver. Very slowly, he put his hand on your cheek, caressing around your puffy eyes.

Minho : don't cry Mia. I don't like it when you're sad

His sweet tone caught you off guard. This felt so weird, he was being all sweet right now. You weren't used to it.

You : what's happening ?

Minho : wae ?

You : you're not... normal

Minho : of course I am

You : you're... sweet

Minho : can't I be ?

You : usually, you aren't with me

Minho : this may change if you want

You : jinjja ?

Minho : nae~ I can be sweet and cute you know

You : cute ? I can't believe it

Minho : check this

Minho : sooo ?

You : mm it's.. ok

Minho : ok ? only ?

You : nae~

Minho : how about this one ?

A manly guy doing such aegyos was so weird. You had never seen this side of Minho before. It felt so nice discovering it.

Minho smiled widely when he heard you giggle. He couldn't resist but put an hand on your cheek, flooded in your eyes.

Minho : Mia... Taemin.. mm told me that you... see me as more than a friend

You : oh well.. that's.. he...

Minho : I also want you to be more than my friend

You : are you serious ?

Minho : are you... going out with this guy ?

You : nugu ?

Minho : that Da Hyun or something

You : ani~ Da Hyun Oppa is a good friend

Minho : so you're single right ?

You : seems so

Minho : and.. would you like to have... someone ? I me-

You : Oppa~

Minho : mm ?

You : I would love to be your girlfriend

He laughed a bit at your personality, so straight-forward. Slowly, he approached you and held your chin while leaning his head closer. With closed eyes, he pressed his lips tenderly against yours.
