The Difference – Chapter 1

~Minho's POV~

Sometimes in a persons lifetime, no matter how long they may live, they can never get over the heartache they were put through. No matter what comfort their friends might try to give, no matter how many days they spend with someone else, sometimes nothing can be done. At least..that is the situation for those who have had heartache and friends at the same time. Most if not all of my hurt happened for me before I even had friends. And now that I do have them? Well...they don't see. They don't know what i've been through. And if they, by some chance, did end up knowing, i'm sure they wouldn't care. Because though they are nice and kind, they are still people. And in my experience people can not honestly care for anothers problems.

But like I said, they don't know and they won't know. Because who's going to tell them?

Not me.

~Taemin's POV~

In this world people get hurt. Bad things happen. Be it something emotional, something mental or something physical. No one is safe from the evil around them. But I'm not entirely pessimistic. I have faith in those I love. I trust them. Until the day they hurt me to the point beyond possible forgiveness, I will trust them. Key umma says that's what makes me a good person. I say that's what makes me human. Because if someone can't trust then they must be living a cold, lonely robotic life. Honestly...I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my friends to help me. There's Key: he's like my mom only more fun. For as long as i've known him he's been this motherly, open figure. Someone I can run to when for a single moment life is shit and I need someone so bad my heart hurts. Then there's Jonghyun: he's kind of like a cool uncle or something. Not really responsible, but loving in every way. He once said his only real mission was to protect me. I'd say he's doing a good job. Onew is clumsy and silly but he's shown me so many things in this world that I would not have been able to discover on my own. He was the first one who showed me what life could be.

And then Minho. He's like my brother...but so much more. Warm but cold. Ruthless, determined yet kind. With eyes that used to betray his feelings and a smile that's a rare sight to see these days. I'm not sure whats changed in him...but I can see it. I don't know if the others can, I don't know if he knows I can...but I do. Those eyes that used to show every emotion in him now seem to be locked. The key nowhere to be found. Looking into his eyes I see nothing besides a wall built up to keep it all in. What "it" is, i'm still not sure. I want to know...but at the same time I don't.

He's a good hyung.

A good friend.

He's always been there for me but...

I just wish he'd let me be there for him.

To Be Continued...
