Chapter 7

You awoke in the morning to hear Key screaming at someone, probably Taemin."Aish! How could you do that?" Key bellowed. You could almost see Taemin in your mind, shaking.

Taemin was the baby of the group, so he wasn't used to people screaming at him for doing things wrong. But sometimes, his group mates just snapped.

"I'm sorry hyung! I'm just very clumsy…" Taemin sounded like he was on the verge of crying - it was time for you to step in and save him…again.

Sleepily, you trudge down the hallway towards the angry voices. You walk into the kitchen and find Taemin cowering in the corner, and Key covered in pancake mix."Dongsaeng!" barked Key - he seemed to be in a really bad mood - "Perhaps you can teach Taemin how to cook, he doesn't seem to get that the food is supposed to stay in the bowl!"

You glance over Taemin, he was holding an empty bowl that you figured must have had pancake mix in it a few minutes ago.

His eyes were glistening and the corners had small drops of tears forming. You walk over to him and take the bowl, placing it in the sink, you usher Key out of the room to go get changed.

Taemin was still standing in the corner of the kitchen, Minho was holding him protectively, whispering into his hair - but he soon left to go back to and Jonghyun retreated into the living room to watch TV, so that left you with the huge mess on the floor, and the huge mess that was crying in the corner of the broke your heart to see your oppa so upset, you stroll over to him, unsure of what to do next.

"Oppa? Are you okay..? It's not that big of a deal, I can clean it up! And Key oppa will forgive you!"

Taemin didn't react, he simply let the tears fall down his face, he didn't even move."Aish! Your impossible oppa! Why won't you talk to me? What did I do?" you scream into his face. Shock registered in his eyes, but you turn around quickly and saunter back over to the mess.

But a small arm around your waist stops you, "Dongsaeng.." he mumbles, burying his teary face into the back of your head.

He wraps another arm around you, holding you - you let yourself lean against him. He's so skinny, but so warm, he loves everyone but he makes a lot of mistakes. Taemin reminded you of a puppy dog.

"O-oppa… I'm sorry for anything that I did to make you mad at me… I don't want to fight with you… I love you-" the words come flying out before you can stop them.

"I love you too…" he whispers, lightly kissing the tip of your ear.

You both stand there - completely silent, the only noise was the low humming of the TV in the next room over.

You turn around in his arms and wrap yours around his neck, he tightened his grip, causing you to rest your head in the crook of his neck.

You close your eyes and breathe in his scent, he smelt almost like cookies.

"Promise me that you will never see that man again," Taemin mumbles.

What ma- Chin Ho. Taemin didn't want you seeing Chin Ho again."His name is Chin Ho, he's very sweet.." you let go of Taemin so you could look up at his eyes. He hardened and drew away.

"So you DO want to see him again? After I just told you I loved you?"

You fumble with your words, trying to come up with a plausible sentence."I-I, no, what I meant was, I don't, I'm not sure about, I'm sure about having a relationship with you…" you turn your head away so you could not see the pain and anger flaring in his eyes.

He took a step back, "dongsaeng, I don't know what you mean?" His voice was a hoarse whisper.

You awkwardly twiddle your thumbs, "well, its just that your famous…"You look up and see him nodding.

"So, the only reason you don't want to be with me is because I'm famous? Am I not good enough for you? I'll protect you from the fans! I will! They wont ever hurt you…." he looked like he was on the verge of crying again.

"I'm sorry oppa, we just can't be together."

You grabbed your shoes and put them on, along with your shell.

'I need a place to stay at for a while, fighting with my brothers.' you click send and hope that Chin Ho will answer soon, you didn't want to be walking around in case He happened to drive by.

You shuddered and pulled the hood of your pyjama sweater over your head, hiding most of your face.

It was cold outside, then again, you were wearing your bra vibrated, you took your phone out and turned the screen on. 'Of course! I live at the Han Hyo Apartments. Floor 5. Room 21. I'm there right now, come join me!'

You smiled, at least Chin Ho would take you in for now.

"Ah Bunny, come in!" Chin Ho answered the door with a huge smile on his was wearing a baggy shirt and skinny jeans, his hair was slightly ruffled - it looked like he had just woken up.

He looked you up and down, you probably looked like mess.

"Hi, sorry about my appearance, I kind of rushed out the door."

He waved his hand dismissively, "it's ok, I don't look the greatest either."

You chuckled, he looked amazing, he was too perfect not to look incredible. "Would you like something for lunch? We can order in!" you nodded and walked over to his couch to take a seat.

Chin Ho walked into what you figured must be his looked around, it was pretty neat and tidy for a guy who lived on his own. He had curtains hung up, soft music was flowing out of a radio - it even smelt good!

Chin Ho walked back into the living room, he had a weird grin on his face.

"Food will be here, and don't bother asking me what I ordered, it's a surprise!~"

"Haha, alright," you trusted him enough to order something good for you.

He took a seat beside, you rested your head against his shoulder.

"Chin Ho, can I tell you about my past?" trusting him was so easy…
