It wasn't long before both of our clothes were off and swiftly discarded. Minho crashed his lips into mine and easily gained entry into my mouth. Soon I pushed him back so I could take a few breaths which seemed to benefit him as well. After several breaths, he then grabbed my thighs and spread my legs apart.

"Are you ready?" He breathed out.

"Y-yeah." I answered, panting slighlty.

First he placed two fingers in to help ease the pain, all the while occupying my lips again. Then I felt something much larger slowly enter inside of me. I arched my back a little as I tried to get used to the size. After a while Minho began ing slowly which caused me to wrap my arms around him as I was trying to get used to him.

"Ahh" I moaned. My heart raced as Minho pushed forward and held on to me. It was starting to feel more pleasurable with each and I couldn't help but moan out as Minho picked up speed . He continued this motion while holding onto my member and kissing my lips. My entire body melted at his touch.

"Ahh, Minho" I cried out. He was beginning to move a lot faster and now a slight pain mixed in with the pleasure.

"Calm down Tae, I'm almost there." He breathed into my ear. His husky voice elevated my heartrate while I still held onto him. My body moved as a result of his and both glistened as the sun was beginning to set.

"Ahh, Taemin! I'm about to-" Before he could finish, I felt something warm inside of me as his s slowed down. For a moment, he and I just lied there looking into each others eyes, panting from exhaustion. This was probably the first time I actually got to see the dark brown orbs that were his eyes. Such a completely different look than what I was used to. The eyes I was looking into now seemed warm and comforting, nothing like the daggers I felt when he and his friends bullied me.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

Both of us turned our heads to see where the noise had come from. It was Minho's cellphone. He quickly hopped off the bed and picked it up.

"Hey, whats up?" He spoke into his phone. "Wait, what do you mean?!" I raised my body as I heard Minho yell into the phone.

"Minho-" I tried getting him to calm down but he ignored me and continued his conversation with who he was speaking to. He whispered for most of it so I couldn't make sense of the little I did hear. All I did understand was that Minho was now angry and I was wishing he wasn't. He soon ended the phone call and threw it on the floor.

"I'm going to take a shower." He began to walk to the room next door.

"Minho," I tried getting his attention. "Is everything okay?"

He turned around to look back at me but I couldn't tell what his expression meant.

Why was he so hard to read?

He then turned and continued on into the bathroom. Once I heard the shower turn on, I threw my head back on one of the pillows in frustration. I still had all these questions and seeing Minho's face after that phone call wasn't helping.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

I rose back up. That was Minho's phone. I looked on the floor and saw that his phone was next to the bottom of the bed. I reached down to pick it up and pressed the home button. The phone brightened up and dispayed its lock screen.

Darn it.

But there was a new text message from "TheACE" that read: "Don't forget to bring the stuff tonight if we are" and that's all I was able to see. The only way I would be able to see more is if I unlocked the phone.

"Whose TheACE?" I asked myself. Were they who Minho just spoke to on the phone? Soon I heard the water stop and the shower curtain being opened. Quickly, I tossed the phone back onto the floor and layed on the bed looking out the window.The sun was beginning to set and the colors of yellow, orange, purple, and pink all meshed together, creating various shades in between. I pulled the covers a little higher and Minho's scent wafted past my nose.

"Hey, do you want a ride home? Im about to head over to Jessica's party and since your home is on the way, I could drop you off." Minho asked while walking out of the bathroom, still in his bath towel. He hadn't fully dried off so his abs and muscles looked even more defined in this lighting. I couldn't help but blush.

"Um, sure. Thanks." I mumbled.

"Well then get dressed because I'll be ready in the next few minutes and don't want to be late." Minho said sternly.

Getting up seemed to be more difficult than I anticipated and I would have fallen over if it wasnt for Minho catching me before that could happen.

"You've gotta be careful Tae." He scolded me before placing me back on the bed and helping me put my clothes back on.

"Sorry," I said timidly. "And thanks, again."

After I finished getting dressed, Minho dressed himself and then we left his room. It was a lot colder now so he gave me one of his jackets to wear. Unfortunately, the car ride to my house was just as quiet as it had been for the car ride to Minho's. He just drove and out of fear of upsetting him, I kept quiet myself. I still wondered what that phone call could have been about. And now Minho was going to Jessica's party after he dropped me off. I had heard a lot about her past parties from Key. Apparently, she threw the "best" parties and they were always crazy. The last one Key went to, he said they had to call the cops on two guys and a girl who got too drunk and started causing problems with everyone.

Hopefully nothing like that happens tonight.

It wasn't long before we arrived at my house. Minho parked across the street  and then turned the car off.

"Thanks for the ride home." I said genuinely while taking off the jacket he lent me.

"No prob" he replied.

"I hope we can work more on the project another day." I told him.

Minho slightly smiled and then said, "Yeah, of course."

I unbuckled my seatbelt and began to open the door but then was stopped.

"Wait, Taemin." Minho said as he grabbed my arm and then pulled me in for a kiss. "Have a good night."

I couldn't help but blush at this gesture. I gave him a quick smile and then hurried on up to my house, grinning from ear to ear. He waited until I got inside before he drove off which I thought was pretty admirable. Once I closed the door behind me, I slid down to the ground and sighed.

Could Minho actually like me?

I rose up from the floor and toured through my house to see if my aunt was home.

"Seung-Ah!?" I called out but recieved no answer. I guess she got called in again at the hospital. She was a doctor who worked around the clock constantly. It was just her and I now since her husband died of cancer a year and a half ago. Ever since then, she has thrown herself into her job(mainly to escape the pain and pay for bills). I guess that's her way of coping with all that has happened. She partly blamed herself because she tried saving him but unfortunately all that she did wasn't enough. It was truly sad because when I lost my mother, she too lost her only sister whom  she had been inseperable with. So when her husband was gone, it was like she had no one to truly talk to. That was one of the reasons I tried my very best in school, it was my way of showing her I appreciated her taking care of me. I also made sure to handle all the chores of the house and run the errands she didn't have time to do.

Ring Ring Ring

I was taken out of thought

"Who'd be calling the house phone when we all have cellphones?" I asked myself and then picked the phone up.

"Hello?"

"TAEMIN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!"

It was Key.

"HOW COME YOU'VE BEEN SO UNOBTAINABLE LATELY!?"

"Key-umma calm down, your mouth is basically next to my ear." I tried getting him to lower his voice.

"How come you haven't answered any of my texts? I was worried."

I pulled my phone out and saw that I had 7 messages from Key and a missed phone call from yesterday. I also saw that my phone profile was on silent.

"Sorry umma, my phone was on silent." I apologized.

"Yeesh, what have you been doing these past few days that has gotten you so preoccupied that you don't even look at your phone?" He asked.

Choi Minho

"..."

"TAEMIN!" He yelled into the reciever.

"It's this project, I'm just trying to get a good grade that's all." I avoided telling him the whole story.

"I heard about that project from Seungri, isn't that a group thing?"

"Uh...uh" I stuttered.

"Wait, how come I didn't see your partner when we worked on it several days ago...." Keys mind started working.

"That's becau-"

"Wait! Are you partnered up with a slacker who's making you do all the work? Who is it!? I'll give them a good smack to get them helping you."

"No no no, it's not like that." I tried explaining. "They help me out. It's just.... Complicated."

"Well then who is it?" He asked.

"Choi Minho." I said reluctantly.

"What?! You got stuck with Minho? That jerk, has he hurt you at all? I swear I'll kill him if he-"

"No Key, he's actually been somewhat kind and there's actually a different side to him that's almost... Likeable." I told him.

"Likeable? Don't tell me my Taemin has a crush on DUMB-ho." He asked bluntly.

"Aniyo! It's not like that." I tried explaining. "It's just, he's a different person than we think he is." I found myself speaking more to myself than I was to Key.

"Oh no! You do have a crush on him, I can hear it in your voice!" Key whined.

"You make it seem like me liking him is a bad thing."

"It is!! He's a jerk and him and his flock of morons constantly give you a hard time at school. I could only imagine what it'd be like if I wasn't there to protect you sometimes." He stated.

"Yeah I know." That was all I could say. At the end of the day, Key kind of had a point. But what happened earlier today still played in my head, and I couldn't help but feel like it was going to be different now between he and I. 

Taemin

Taemin

"Taemin!" Key called through the phone. 

"Oh, sorry Umma." I apologized.

"I have to go but we are definitely going to talk more about this tomorrow." He pressed.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Bye"

I placed The phone back on the receiver and then dragged my body upstairs to the shower. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep the rest of the night away. I went up to the bathroom and after getting undressed, I turned the shower on and allowed it to heat up before stepping in. The water was at perfect temperature for calming my body and relaxing my mind. Steam engulfed every corner of the bathroom and my pores began to open as the water covered my skin. I poured some shampoo into my hands and lathered it into my hair. I could see the soap filter down my arms while it flowed toward the drain on top of the water. I stayed in their for around ten minutes before I felt it was time to step out. I turned the handle and watched as the water receded in flow before coming to a slow stop.

"Ahhh" I sighed in relief. It was great to just relax and not have to worry about anything for the time being. The night passed by with me making dinner for Seung-Ah and I (I wrapped her's up for whenever she was coming back tonight) and then fell asleep reading a book assigned to us in my literature class.

The next morning came all too quickly as I felt like I hadn't gotten much sleep throughout the night. My body ached and I felt a slight pain in my bottom region. When I went downstairs to quickly make myself some breakfast I noticed that the plate I left out was still sitting on the counter.

"I guess she stayed longer than expected." I said to no one really. I placed the meal inside the fridge and then popped some bread into the toaster. I had just enough time to swiftly put a simple breakfast sandwich together before leaving out the front door to catch my bus. Any later and my bus driver would have left me. 

We arrived at school and I felt someone at ease which was odd seeing as how this place usually gave me anxiety. Maybe it was because now I feel that things between Minho and I were different. It wasn't until second period biology class that I got to see him. He was talking to a few of his friends outside of the class before it had started. As I approached the doorway, Minho and his friends briefly turned their heads in my direction and then they continued on with their conversation. It was odd that this was all they did and nothing more. As I got closer, I noticed each had several cuts and bruises on the faces. 

Minho's lip wasn't cut like that when I saw him yesterday.

I continued on into the class before the bell rang and sat in my seat. Minho sat in the back with his friends and I could hear a few of the girls whispering about something. 

"Did you hear? Ga-in told me that they got into a huge fight at Jessica's party."

"Yeah I know. They said it was from a rival gang." 

"Do you really think they're part of a gang though?"

"Who knows, but that just makes Minho all the more of a bad boy." 

"Yeah, he's so cool."

A gang? Minho? Could that really be true? I tried my hardest to concentrate in class but my mind wandered all over the place now.

Who was Choi Minho?

Woot woot!! I'm back with another chapter. I think Wednesdays will be the day where I try to upload!! How's that sound? I hope you guys liked it, it took me forever to type and i'm excited to see where this story goes. :D
