Key's POV:

I still couldn't believe what I had done. Although I had hoped Jonghyun would be healed when Eric had helped him, I had always been afraid for another attack of KangDae. When it finally came I ran, instead of protecting my love. I felt so stupid. I took a deep breath and sank down on a bench in the park. The streetlight flashed on and I squeezed my eyes to get used to the sudden light beam. 

I sighed. Why could my life never be easy? A tear escaped the corner of my eye. 

"You know, crying doesn't suit you." A voice suddenly said and surprised I looked up. 

Before me stood two young men. They looked around my age. One of them had short brown hair while the other had longer black hair. The one that had spoken was the brown haired one and he smiled gently at me. 

"Let's just leave, Tae. We don't even know this guy." The other said while he looked at me with disdain in his eyes. 

"Aaah, Minho-hyung~! Don't be so rude. He's clearly upset. I want to help him." The other boy then said and he tucked at the arm of the older one. Finally the boy named Minho smiled a little and I was taken back by his beauty.

"You're too kind, Taemin. But okay... Let's help him. What's your name?" The last thing he said to me, but I was too surprised to answer.

"I...I" I stammered and Taemin smiled. 

"Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you. Do you have a place to sleep? If not you can always stay with us." He said, but the other looked shocked.

"Anya! Taemin! We don't know if Onew-hyung will like that. Why are you suddenly suggesting things like that?!" He said, but the younger one shrugged. 

"What is your name? You look lost and we only want to help you. I'm Lee Taemin and this is Choi Minho, my boyfriend." The last two words obviously made the two boys blush. 

Boyfriend? So I wasn't the only gay in this city. Somehow I felt relieved. Then I realized I was being extremely rude and I quickly stood up. 

"H-Hello, I'm Key!" I said while I quickly bowed. "Thank you for helping me." I then said and Taemin smiled again.

"Nice to meet you, Key. That's an unusual name." The boy said. 

"M-My real name is Kibum, but I started calling myself Key after I transferred schools a few months ago." I explained and the memory of my transfer to Jonghyun's school made a few more tears roll down my cheek. I quickly wiped them away. "I'm sorry." I whispered, but Taemin shook his head.

"No need to say sorry. You're clearly upset and it's already really late. You don't have a place to stay, right?" He asked and I thought about my warm bed that I shared with Jonghyun. Then I remembered that Jonghyun was gone and I swallowed. I quietly shook my head. 

"Then you can come with us, right Hyung?" Taemin asked the older one. Minho seemed to hesitated for a second, but then nodded. 

"Okay, but if he causes trouble, you better take all responsibility Taemin, arrasso?" He said and Taemin nodded happily. 

"Jeeh, thank you Hyung. You won't regret it! I promise!" He said and he quickly planted a kiss on Minho's cheek. The elder one couldn't hide a smile, but quickly became serious again.

"YAH! You can't just kiss me in public! You know that, Taemin!" He yelled and Taemin pouted. "I-I'm sorry, Tae. I just don't want to give the people a reason to make your life a living hell like they did to me a few years ago." He whispered then, but loud enough for me to hear. Taemin nodded and then looked at me again. 

"Well, let's go. Your bed won't come to you, I'm afraid. Our house is nearby. Let's go!" He said and he grabbed my hand. He pulled me up before I could even understand what was happening and dragged me out of the park. 

After a five minutes walk in silence Taemin stopped before a door and opened it. We walked up a stairs and came into a small hallway. 

"Onew-Hyung! We're home!" Taemin yelled and I grimaced while I touched my ears. Damn, that boy certainly had some longs. He smiled at me and pulled me into a small living room. In there an other boy was sitting at a table. He was obviously a few years older than Taemin or Minho, but he still didn't look too old. 

"Welcome ho-" The boy turned around and stopped in the middle of his sentence when he saw me. "Taemin... What did you bring home this time?" He said with a deep sight and I felt a pang in my chest. 

I bowed and cleared my throat. "I-I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'm Kim Kibum, but you can call me Key." I said and I bowed again, deeply. I obviously wasn´t welcome here. The guy named Onew sighted again, but then smiled. 

"Taemin and Minho must have a good reason to help you, so you're welcome here. Don't worry. I'm Lee Jinki, but you can call me Onew. Why are you here, Key?" The boys said and I let out a sight of relief. Then I realized what he had just asked. I couldn't just tell them about some evil spirit possessing my boyfriend, could I? 

"I... I just have some problems at home, so I can't really go back there now. I'm thankful you're willing to help me." I therefor said and the other guys nodded. It seemed they were satisfied with my explanation, for now... 

"You can sleep on the couch tonight. Tomorrow we will see what we can arrange for you, because the day after tomorrow we have to go to school. What school are you going to?" Onew asked politely.

"Uhm... Daegu High School." I said and I heard Taemin gasping. 

"Really? Really? Then you're attending the same school as we are. Maybe we're even in the same class!" He enthusiastically said and he jumped up and down. 

I snorted. I could hardly believe Taemin was old enough to be in high school.

"What's your birth year?" The younger one then asked.

"I'm from 1991." I said shyly. 

"Then you'll probably be in Minho-hyung's and my class!" Taemin said and Minho nodded. "Minho is from the same year and I'm from 1993. It's just that I skipped a few classes that I'm in the same class as Hyung. This is going to be fun!"

I smiled and tried to suppress a yawn.

"Our guest is tired. Let's go to sleep now. It's already past midnight. There's a lot to do for us tomorrow." Onew said and the other boys nodded. 

Minho quickly made me a bed on the couch and I lay down. I was very tired, but when I finally closed my eyes the sleep wouldn´t come. I sighed and opened them again. I could hear Taemin, Onew and Minho talking in the kitchen. 

" What are we going to do with him? He's a strange fellow..." I heard Onew say. 

"I know, Hyung, but I feel he needs our help right now. Maybe he doesn't want to tell us what's wrong right now, but it will come. Somehow I have a good feeling about him." Taemin answered and I immediately felt sympathy for the younger boy. Although he didn't know me, he still wanted to help me. 

"I trust you, Taeminnie. You know that. You're always the one with the people knowledge. I just hope you're right about this one too." Minho then said and the warmth in my heart cooled down a bit. 

"Well... Let's just see what tomorrow brings. We need to go to bed. It's late already." Onew then said and I heard chairs being pulled away. 

I lay there thinking about what they had just said and about Jonghyun. I shouldn't have ran away, but the look in his eyes had just scared the hell out of me. Tomorrow I had to go back and see if I could find back my lovely Jonghyun. With that thought I fell fast asleep with a smile on my face.
