[3rd Person POV] 

"Jaejoon! What happened to you?" Taemin felt frantic, Jaejoon was standing, soaking wet, outside of the gym. He grabbed the younger's arms and proceeded to bring him to the locker room.  

"I fell... into the pool." Jaejoon seemed nervous about answering, so Taemin knew that he was probably lying. 

"Don't lie to me Jaejoon. Did someone do this to you?" As Taemin said that, he looked around for towels to dry off Jaejoon. When he found some, he turned around and saw that Jaejoon was hesitating on telling him or not. "Someone did do this? Jaejoon, who was it?" Jaejoon huffed before taking the towel to wipe his face. 

"That guy. Minwoo." Taemin thought for a second, trying to figure out if he knows a guy named Minwoo. 

"Wait, that one guy with the blonde hair?" Jaejoon nodded and kept drying himself. Taemin looked around, contemplating if he wanted to do something about this. The one thing that Taemin hates more than anything else is confrontation. He hates having to do things like this because he's shy and sometimes no one takes him seriously. On the other hand, this Minwoo guy just pushed Jaejoon into the pool. He messed with his friend and Taemin wasn't having this. 

"Where is he now?" Jaejoon looked up from drying his hair. 

"Probably still in the gym." Jaejoon put the towel over his head again. He heard foot steps, just assuming Taemin was just walking around. That was proven wrong when he heard the door open and close. He quickly got up and followed Taemin all the way to the pool, only staying outside of the room so he could observe what was going on. 

------- 

"Hey you! Minwoo!" Taemin shouted, catching the attention of the group of laughing guys. Minwoo turned around with a smirk on his face as he watched Taemin walk so boldly up to him. 

"Wassup?" His tone was smug, totally still proud of himself of what he did just a couple of minutes ago. 

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Taemin got up close and personal with Minwoo, completely shocked that he could be this brave. He didn't want to show that he was nervous, so he tried to fake it as best as he could. 

"What are you talking about?" 

"My friend, Jaejoon. Why'd you push him in the water?" Minwoo started to laugh, only making Taemin even more mad at the latter. 

"Cause... It was fun." 

"It was fun? That's all you have to say about this?" It was official, Taemin was pissed. Minwoo's short replies were getting on his nerves. 

"Yeah, pretty much." Taemin raised his hand and went to go hit Minwoo, but the latter caught his hand and pulled him close. They stared eye to eye for a couple of seconds. Jaejoon was at the edge of his seat as he watched what was happening. He was happy that Taemin was standing up for him, but Minwoo was going to do something to Taemin and Jaejoon didn't like that. 

"You really wanna do that?" Taemin struggled a little, but Minwoo held his hand up higher than he anticipated. Minwoo slowly looked Taemin up and down, smirking a little as he did so. "Wow, Jaejoon's one lucky little er..." 

"What?" Taemin was shocked at what Minwoo was saying, but also at the fact that that's the most words that the Latter ever said since Taemin was here. 

"You're cute. He's lucky to have someone as cute as you defending him." A blush formed on Taemin's face as he heard Minwoo call him 'cute'. That was the last thing he thought he would be called in a situation like this. 

"Well, too bad... You missed your chance." Minwoo's eyes narrowed, making Taemin feel a little uneasy. 

"Did I really? If I be nice to Jaejoon, do I get another chance?" Taemin didn't know what to think about this situation. Minwoo obviously has no shame in his game, but Taemin was reluctant on trusting it. 

"Maybe..."  

"What if I give him a change of clothes? Does that get me a date?" He wasn't sure that Minwoo meant it, but all he knew was that the latter was persistent. He kinda liked it, but it felt a little weird to him. It felt like one of those 'take one for the team' moments. 

"Fine, but it better be a full outfit and nothing stupid." Taemin poked Minwoo's chest, who only smiled back. Taemin hated to admit it, but the latter had a nice smile. 

"Okay, wait here then."  

Minwoo let him go and left out of the gym to go lord know where. The group of guys stared at Taemin, making sure that he didn't leave. Taemin huffed out and looked around the gym, eyes traveling until they hit a familiar figure in the doorway. He focused and saw that Jaejoon was watching the whole thing. He bit his lip and turned away. They younger mustn't know about the deal that was just made. Jaejoon would be beyond furious that Taemin would mess with their enemy. He knew that what he was doing could lead to someone getting mad, but he came in here with the thought of fixing this and this is how it's going to happen. Taemin looked up at the sound of the door opening, revealing Minwoo with a bag. He bit his lip, just thinking of how he was gonna explain this to Jaejoon. 

"Here are the clothes..." Minwoo handed the bag over, letting Taemin look through it. " and there's also this." He waved a paper in front of Taemin, urging him to take it. Taemin read what it said, which was basically details about their date. He could feel his heartbeat speed up at the thought of him going on a date with Minwoo. 

"O-Okay." Taemin felt insantly nervous again, but turned around and began heading to the door that Jaejoon was waiting at. He looked back, catching Minwoo smiling a bright smile before the latter turned to talk to his friends.  

---------

"Hyung? What happened? What's that?" Taemin turned back to Jaejoon, shoving the bag of clothes in the younger's hand. 

"Here's some clothes, hurry up and change." Jaejoon saw the look on his face and decided not to question him about the piece of paper. Taemin felt grateful for that and just kept quiet, thinking about what he was gonna wear to his date and what he was gonna kill himself with later for getting himself into this.
