Taemin had been messaging with Key for little over a week now and still every time he mentioned the words 'Can we meet?' He would never get a reply, Key would just log off. How was he supposed to make anything of the relationship if he couldn't talk to him face to face? He went to class, and then he would come home alone as Minho was always out and sit and stare at his phone or computer waiting but always nothing. Did Key not want to talk to him anymore? He scrolled through their last few messages and he knew he hasn't said anything mean to the older man or said anything to scare him off. He flopped onto his bed to stare at the ceiling and as he was about to drift off his computer beeped. He jumped up and rushed over to his desk and smiled like a big idiot when he saw Key had finally gotten back to him. 

'Hi. Sorry I've been AWOL lately life has been crazy 😤

Taemin giggled and typed back: 

'Oh it's ok. I'm just glad you didn't forget about me. I thought I made you angry. Did you like my selfie?' 

'No sweetie no. I could never forget about you 😉. Truth is I was just really busy with work and an opportunity came up for me this week I couldn't turn down. I loved your selfie, work on that kissy face and you're almost there. Today I got my hair done, wanna see?' 

'What opportunity was that? Of course! So you don't have blond hair anymore?' 

'It was something I ha deepen prearing for a long time. I auditioned for a record company. No I don't. Kept it for too long anyway...here is what it looks like now.' 

The picture popped up and there was another perfect selfie but this time Key had jet black hair slicked back so his cheek bones really stood out and his skin was perfect as always. How did one person look so flawless all the time?! It was insane almost. Taemin quickly wrote back. 

'An record company?! You're gonna be an idol?! You are too y. How do you get your skin so smooth looking? I so envious 😍😍.' 

'You're too kind baby 😉 but thank you. Various things, keeping it clean is vital, the odd face mask every now and then. Start with a light moisturiser but make sure it's one that works for you. That baby skin of yours looks pretty sensitive. ☺️😉. Well yes of course. I even came up with my name Key as a stage name.' 

'I do not have baby skin 😆. How do you know so much? You're y and smart. Be sure to think of me when you get famous.'  

'My god someone is very flirty today. I only know what I learn along the way, it also helps to have a few good girlfriends to help you out 😆 oh sweetie I'll never forget you. Listen I know you asked if we could meet and I wanted to say I'm sorry for ignoring you. I do want to meet you.' 

Taemin had been waiting for Key to say those words and he pumped the air with his fist and quickly typed a response. 

'That is so great! No it's ok I guess me asking so soon was a little too much even for me 😆. I'd love to meet you in person, you can decide where if you want.' 

'I'll let you know baby don't worry 😉 I would like to know a little more about you first. What are you studying?' 

'English literature. It was one of my...other passions in life. Not the main one but it was up there.' 

'What is your main passion?' 

'Oh gee I...I hate saying it to anyone but...I love to dance. I used to a lot when I was younger and still do as often as I can. Sadly though I do it have enough time now.' 

'You're a dancer?! That's amazing! Why don't you go and audition? Why don't you ever do it anymore?'

'I'm not a dancer 😂 I used to be but its just a hobby now, my brother would scold me anytime I was away from the books.' 

'That totally ! Listen send me a video later of you dancing and I'll send you one of me singing. We can audition together once we meet in person.' 

Taemin read Keys message over and over and thought, 'He wants to see me dance?! I've barely been at the studio in weeks what if I've lost it?! He sighed and wrote back that he would do his best but he had a lot of homework before signing off. He sat in his chair and tried to get his head together and even distracted himself by working and then he got a text from Minho 'Come to the Cellar bar later. I need to know all your gossip.'
