Maknae Musings
Description
Taemin and the rest of SHINee have the same boring routine everyday, and, frankly, Taemin's sick of it. He's tired of going to school everyday for three hours, leaving early and going to SM to practice the same songs and dances they've practiced for years, tired of the scedules, the radio shows, coming home in the early hours of the night tired and sore, then getting up and doing it all again. He wants to experience something new - a change...or maybe just a break from it all.
Lucky for Taemin, he gets his wish...but it's not at all what he wanted. While he and Minho are walking to school, they're hit by a drunk driver. Minho manages to survive with a broken leg, wrist and a couple broken ribs...but he has a major concussion and can barely remember anything, especcialy the young blonde haired boy that haunts his dreams. Taemin isn't as lucky, he was hit first and took most the impact.
Did Taemin survive? Will Minho ever remember him? Will Jonghyun, Onew and Key ever recover from the trauma of the accident?
Foreword
Taemin brought his carton up slightly above eye level, holding it up.
"To a good day." He smiled.
Minho nodded.
"To a good day." He agreed, bumping their cartons of banana milk together.
They crossed the streets, using the crosswalk to get across the busy road, without really paying much attention as they took sips of their banana milk and Minho talked to Taemin about the math test he was taking first period.
Minho frowned when he saw Taemin's eyes widen.
"Taemin-ah? What's wrong? Did you forget something –?"
"Minho! Look out!" Taemin yelled, cutting him off.
Minho whipped around and saw the truck speeding towards them.

"Is this Lee Jinki?" A deep male voice accustomed to revealing bad news said.
Onew froze.
Only his family called him by his real name, not even his fellow band members, which were like sons to him, called him by his real name.
"…Yes?" He said slowly, suspicion and caution in his voice.
The man on the other end of the line sighed.
"I'm afraid I have bad news."
Jonghyun's eyes widened.
What happened?
Onew wasn't the type to cry for no reason…and when he did, it hadn't been this bad.
"Onew! What's wrong? What happened? "Jonghyun demanded. The tiredness in his muscles and all other feelings were forgotten, the only one remaining was fear.
Onew managed to stop sobbing long enough to say:
"It's T-Taemin and Min-Minho…t-they never, "A large sniff. "Made it to school today..."
Jonghyun's eyes widened and his phone from fell from his hands.
"What? " He yelled, fumbling with trying to catch his phone. He caught it, luckily, before it hit the ground and held it back up to his ear, his eyes wide.
"They were hit by…" Onew took a deep breath to calm himself. "They were hit by a drunk driver…the doctors don't know if Taemin w-w-will live…"
