The whole situation was ridiculous. Taemin couldn't fathom how anyone who had known him since BIRTH could turn on him like that. The words she had thrown at him were venomous, and it hurt. After finalizing plans with Minho Taemin left his family and met his friend at the nearby cafe. Taemin looked at the menu and order several different desserts hoping to make himself feel a little better. Minho sat down at the same table with a cup of hot tea. "Hyung?" "Yeah, Taemin?" "Tea?" Minho shrugged, "Just not in the mood for much else." "Oh." Taemin looked at the array of desserts in front of him and began to feel guilty. He put a hand to his chest as what had happened at his grandparents' house flashed into his mind again. Tears welled up in his eyes and he gripped at his chest. Minho watched carefully as the boy seemed to shrink with the emotional burden he was carrying. "Minnie?" Taemin snapped out of his trance. "Are you alright?" The tears that were resting in his eyes quickly began to race down his cheeks. He gripped his chest even tighter as though he were trying to rip his own heart out. "Mi-Mi-Mi-Minho-hyung!" Taemin stuttered the name out between sobs. "Why did she turnb on us? On me? Dad was the one who did wrong! I WATCHED it happen! He ignored us, wouldn't listen to us, forgot about us! But- but- but she turns on me? My mom? My brother? What did any of us do?!" Taemin broke down into sobs. Minho moved to the seat besides his dongsaeng, "You did nothing wrong, Taemin. Nor did your mother or brother. Your dad is in the wrong, your grandmother is in the wrong- but you? You are a victim to the circumstance. And don't you DARE think differently." He hugged the crying boy hopping to calm him down, at least a little bit... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hey there!
