Onew smiled and kissed the top of Taemin's head as they ate side by side in Onew's apartment. Even though they were only eating instant ramen, they couldn't ask for anything more. Onew took another bite of the noodles and continued staring at Taemin. His eyes were puffy from crying and the tip of his nose and cheeks were red but Onew found it absolutely adorable.

"Lee Taemin, will you marry me?" 

Taemin stood there in shock, letting his emotions sink in. He didn't know how to react. Onew scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"I understand that you're still in high school but you're graduating soon. So we don't have to rush, we can always wait till after you graduate. Also if--T-Taeminnie?" Taemin's eyes started to water and his bottom lip quivered. 

"T-Taeminnie? Why are you crying?" Onew stuttered.

"D-Don't cry. I'm sorry. Is it too early? I knew I should have waited until--" 

"WAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Taemin cried. "D-Dubu h-hyung!" Taemin cried in between hiccups. Onew stopped panicking and smiled. He went closer to Taemin and pulled him in for a hug. When they were small, Taemin only called him Dubu hyung when he's overwhelmed with happiness that he couldn't speak properly. Guess old habits never die.

"Shh...it's okay. Don't cry." Onew said, petting Taemin's hair and kissing him on the forehead.

"Hyung, stop staring." Taemin said, breaking Onew out of his daydream. Onew grinned and kissed Taemin on the top of the head once again.

"Is it wrong to stare at my future wife?" Taemin blushed and looked away. "W-We should get back to work." Onew followed after him but tripped and fell face flat on the floor.

"Hyung! Are you alright?" Taemin asked, kneeling down beside Onew.

"Pshh, yeah. I didn't fall. I attacked the floor."

--

"Minho, that's enough. You drank way too much."

"Aiiy dunn fackiing caaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrree, CHONG." Minho said, waving around a bottle of beer,

"Dude, you can't even pronounce Jjong right. Let's get you home."

"NO!" Minho whined like a child. Jonghyun sighed and stood up.

"I'm going to get Key. Stay here." He said before running off. Jonghyun and Key ran back to see Minho gone. 

"Excuse me, where did the guy that was sitting here before go?" They asked the bartender.

"I saw him leave the place. Probably went home."

--

Onew stepped on the breaks as they reached the front of Taemin's house. He took Taemin's hand and kissed the back of his hand.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay the night at my place? It wouldn't be a bother at all." He said. Taemin smiled and shook his head.

"I need to finish my homework and clean the house. I'll see you tomorrow?" Onew nodded and leaned in, giving Taemin a kiss on the forehead. Taemin smiled and made his way to the front steps of his house. He turned back and waved to Onew who was still waiting. Onew smiled and waved back. He left when he saw that Taemin was safe inside his home.

Taemin took off his coat and hanged it on the coat rack beside the door. He made sure the door was locked and went upstairs to take a shower. After his shower he slipped on a loose t-shirt and shorts and placed a towel around his shoulders. He went downstairs to turn off the light until he heard a loud knock.

"TAEMIN!" He heard someone yell from the other side. He slightly opened the door and saw a drunk Minho barely standing up.

"Minho hyung!" Minho made his way inside and slammed the door behind him. He went closer to Taemin and locked him in a tight hug. Soon after, Taemin felt something wetting his shirt. Then it hit him:

Minho was crying.

"Taemin...why did you do this to me? I thought I could forget but I just..." Taemin was too shocked to answer. Eventually, he felt Minho shift his weight and they both fell on the floor. Taemin let out a small yelp and felt himself hit the ground. He groaned and pushed himself up as much as he can. He tried to push Minho off but stopped when he heard soft snores coming from him. Taemin let out a deep sigh.

Just perfect.
