Kim Kibum had always known who he was and had never been afraid to show it. He was perfectly comfortable in his own skin, and he wasn't willing to change for anyone or do anything he knew he wouldn't like. This was a trait many of his friends envied him for. He'd never had an identity crisis and had never been a victim to peer pressure, because he knew what was him and what wasn't.

Lee Taemin had always been confused by who he was, but he was afraid to show it. Ever since he was a child he was complimented for his beauty and his dance skills. In Middle School he'd dated girls, but freshmen year of High School he'd come out as gay. Since then he'd had his fair share of dates, and half the school had had a crush on him, gender regardless. He'd always been pretty popular, and he'd always exuded confidence, but deep down he was more insecure than he let on. He just never let people close enough.
