Taemin looked up from the comic book that he had been trying to read when he heard a loud crash of cups being broken in the kitchen. He swallowed deeply as he closed the book, not intending to enter the kitchen where he knew two singers would be quarreling at - because pairs of lips touched earlier at the concert.
 
He bit his bottom lip at that memory.
 
"Taemin, are you okay?"
 
Minho had this concerned expression on his face when he entered the room, and held this packet of banana milk that was probably to cheer him up - it might have worked if he was upset on an entirely different incident but really, Taemin was not going to give in so easily.
 
"I guess you should go to the kitchen and look at Jonghyun-hyung, his talk with Jinki-hyung isn't going so well and I'm not afraid that he will get hurt," Taemin shook the hand that was resting on his shoulder away. "I'm afraid that I might throw a punch at his face and your face if Jinki-hyung is hurt."
 
Taemin forced a smile up onto his face when Minho just continued looking at him with an expressionless face.

"I'm not going to be one that take this down lightly Minho," Taemin stood up and pushed the hand that was grabbed onto his wrist away. "Not a silly packet of banana milk will cheer me up-"

"Are you jealous?"

"I'm just upset about how both of you can actually do such things in front of the fans."

"You know that's not the truth, I was actually-"

Minho paused his words when Taemin started to shove his comic book, wallet, cellphone and just everything on his table into his bag with disbelief - what was him trying to do at six in the morning?

"No, it's too late out there-"

"I'm grabbing Jinki-hyung with me. The both of you can happily spend time together but just remember not to wake Kibum-hyung up."

Minho shook his head when all Taemin could do was to stare at him with blaming eyes as he exited the room and into the kitchen right away to pull a crying Jinki away from Jonghyun who just looked frustrated. Minho tried to pull the both of them back, or at least Jinki who was more rational - he stopped when the leader started to put on his shoes and plugged his earphones in together with Taemin when Jonghyun came over with many words that were hard to say.

 

Pride, it always did a great job of killing forgiveness.

"Happy kissing," Taemin muttered softly before slamming the door shut with Jinki who didn't even bother to look at them anymore.
