Your POV: 

I leisurely sat on a swing, dragging my feet in the wood chips below. Despite my calm composure, anger boiled within me.

I hated school. I’ve been pushing myself so much and I still failed to succeed in my classes. I hated my family. My parents are pissed about my unsavory grades and are threatening to send me to hakwon, and my siblings aren’t too supportive either. I hated my boyfriend. Or my ex-boyfriend as of exactly seventeen minutes ago. He admitted he was cheating and dumped me. He was my best friend. He was gay. He was my everything. And now he’s gone.

I hopped off the swing and flopped down on to the lush grass nearby. My surroundings were too cheerful. The sky was a soft baby blue and the clouds were like deliciously puffy marshmallows. The children at the park were giggling and the sun lightly kissed my skin. I rummaged through my bag and held the cool drink in my hands. Banana milk. He dumps me and hands me a freaking banana milk.

“That jerk. Of all days to dump me and all things to give me. I have pride too. AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO LET ME HIGH FIVE YOUR FACE!” I strangled the grass, the smell of damp soil becoming somewhat comforting. However, I felt the stares of worried young mothers piercing my back. Sighing, I stuffed the banana milk back into my bag and headed home, awaiting another lecture from my parents.

Taemin’s POV:

“Ah-choo!” 

“Aigoo~ Taemin-ah, maybe you should shower first. I don’t want you catching a cold since we have a packed schedule tomorrow. This bite-sized dino can wait.” Key patted my bum and walked to the kitchen, dragging a complaining Jonghyun along with him. 

“What are you trying to imply here?!” I stepped into the bathroom as Jonghyun’s screaming became faint. 

We had held an outdoor performance earlier today, and it rained relentlessly. I couldn’t tell apart what was sweat and what was rain as we sang and danced for hours on end. I stripped off my clothes and stared at my reflection. I loved dancing, truly, it was one of the only things in life that made me feel good about myself. But ever since joining the company, I struggled to find my true self. I stepped into the shower and turned the faucet, letting the water cleanse my body and mind.

Sure, I was the cute kid that the company put me out to be, but I couldn’t act out as the person that I wanted to be. I had an image to maintain, and one misdemeanor could affect the whole group. Everything was exhausting, and it felt no longer rewarding. I’m a kid with the responsibilities of an adult. Maybe it’s because I’m not mature yet. Or maybe it’s because I miss my family, having a normal life. I loved being a performer, but sometimes I craved for home. Desperately. 

“Yah! Taemin! Bballi! I need to peeee~” Jonghyun banged on the door, pulling me out of my thoughts.

“Just a second, hyung. I’m getting out now.” I turned off the shower and let the air chill my skin. Goosebumps formed, from the cold and the thoughts of home. “Tell Key Umma to prepare me some banana milk, please.” 

I could hear the Raptor mumble under his breath as he went back to the kitchen. Banana milk reminded me of home. And home was what I needed most.
