Taemin POV

 

Either the birds have undergone some kind of mutation or the remake of Jurassic Park is taking place outside of my apartment building and a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex is running around.

But the loud commotion outside, even though it woke me up before my alarm clock, can't spoil my mood. I am well rested and have slept better than ever. 

All is well again between Minho and me. Not only have we made up, we have talked about everything and I can call him my boyfriend and he can call me his.

Even if a dinosaur was about to eat me, it would spit me right back out, because I'm full of love, metaphorically and literally speaking...I really should go take a shower first....

 

"Good morning." I greet my best friend and roommate in the best of moods.

"...Morning." Kai says slowly. I stumble slightly. He's actually not a grumpy morning person.

"Isn't life beautiful?" I ask him, pouring myself a delicious smelling coffee.

Kai sips his coffee and looks over the edge of his cup at me.

"Taemin...?"

"Huh?" I just can't stop grinning.

"Do you maybe want to stay home today?" he asks me. I shake my head in confusion.

"Why would I do that?" I ask him with an amused smile.

"Well...maybe it would just be better if you stayed home today." He says, looking at me with concern in his big eyes. I lean over to him and give him a good talking to.

"Kai, I'm fine. Everything is all good again between Minho and me." I explain to him so he doesn't have to worry anymore.

"Well..." he interjects gently, however. He doesn't really seem convinced.

"Although I am glad that I can now delete my fake accounts and follow him again through my actual profile."

"I hope with you deleting the profiles, your nasty comments will go away too." I say.

"Well for what he did I think 'You think you look good? Your head is so small that you're only a 9 out of 10!' is not soooo bad." We both have to laugh.

 

I can still hear a loud noise from outside that I can't make out. It hasn't died down since I got up. I can understand that the morning traffic to work is turbulent, but it sound like The Walking Dead outside.

 

I have to grin at my comparison. Minho would certainly find it funny.

 

"What's going on out there?" I want to know and head for the window.

"Wait!" Kai calls out. At the same moment loud knocks hit our door.

"I'll get it." I say, having already got up.

"Taemin, wait!" I hear Kai croak behind me.

What's the matter with him today?

 

To my utter surprise, Aeg and Yo are standing at my door. If they were door-to-door salesmen, they could sell their cheap hoovers to anyone. You wouldn't dare say no to this dubious looking duo.

 

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask, puzzled.

"Does this building have a back exit?" Aeg asks me, sounding very serious.

"Yes...why?" Uncertainly I look back and forth between the two of them.

"Have you looked outside or at the news?" Yo asks me, I don't like his tone either.

 

I don't have time to think about what he just said to me, but I can feel heat rising up inside me.

As I approach our living room window, however, I can already make out a few human heads, but I didn't expect the overall picture.

"What the hell?!" I ask at the top of my lungs.

 

A human cluster has formed at the bottom of our building. I see many young women, most of them dressed in black and crying bitterly. If I couldn't read their signs, I would think they were going to a funeral service.

 

"What do they say?!" my voice squeaks in a very high octave.

 

'Human leech' I read in horror.

 

'Minho is a flame

You are a shame!'

 

'Fridays For Future'

 

Okay I like the last sign a lot. But a young lady is already telling her climate activist friend about it and immediately I can read the other side of the sign as she turns it around now.

 

'I want Taemin

To be Taemout!'

 

Actually a funny play on words, if it didn't mean me.

 

Besides the angry women, I also see cameramen, sound people and reporters.

 

"What's all this?" I want to know and turn to my fellows.

"Guess you're famous now." Kai holds out his mobile phone to me.

"I'm sorry..." I hear him say in the distance.

 

I don't need to know the name of the site to know that the 'Sleepless in Seoul' is writing about me.

My breathing quickens with each word I read.

'Prince Choi Minho rescues poor Cinderella' is chosen as the headline in thick black letters.

I have to swallow.

As I scroll down and read the article I see pictures of Minho and me from our short holiday. These are actually beautiful pict

Chapter 19: I found this story two years ago - it is sharply funny, silly, has deep thoughts, and a great take on celebrity life. Not to mention my favorite ship of all time - 2min!!! Very deserving of a feature!!

Chapter 22: Hello, I am so sorry for excitedly commenting many times in a row but I just want to let you know that I am very happy that I found this story ❤️ I don't really read comedies because it's hard for me to find them funny but this one really is very funny, heartwarming and fluffy. I have developed an attachment to the whole family already :') I love this fic so much and it'll always have a place in my heart! I love every characters so much, and although Jonghyun made little appearance, he gives so much impact and gentle wise advice to the characters like the angel he is and I lovee that. Thank you so much for writing it, you are such an amazing author! I'll be sure to check out your other fanfics as well!

Chapter 22: Hi hello it's me again, sorry.
I don't believe you at all when you say you're not a comedy writer, this was great! xD Yet again, so drastically different from your other stories I've read so far (I'm leaving the heavier ones for later..). I'm in awe of your ability to write such different stories and yet have them all be equally as captivating. I'm also not sure what was going on with the earlier stories formatting, I think it was probably this site having issues now I think about it more, I'm sorry ^^;
I do have to say though, Minho in this story really REALLY reminds me of King Julien from Madagascar lol. Especially when he calls Taemin his hater, it made me think of that episode about finding and converting his one hater lol. I love that lemur so much xD and Minho too I guess... :P

Chapter 1: I just checked this out this morning.
But you got me when Taemin had to remove the cat's hair manually because Jiwoo's chakra will be disturbed with the sound of a vacuum cleaner. Such characters!
Thank you so much for sharing this wacky story.

Chapter 22: Wow! I just binge-read this! Couldn’t stop reading. And you can definitely write comedy! I was smiling all throughout at how much of an idiot Minho is and I also laughed out loud several times! Really an enjoyable read, so please don’t say you can’t write comedy because you’re definitely good at it. Thank you for writing 2min. I really shipped (and still do) them from the start, back when I literally didn’t even know what shipping was and had to google it haha! And I missed JongKey more with this. I’m glad you included our angel in this. ❤️❤️❤️
