Lost on the road of the heart
Chapter 3
Your POV:
The geometry class was far beyond boring, or was it just me who couldn’t trail the teacher’s talk. Be it one or the other, I was actually stuck in that moment my hand and Taemin’s touched. It has been long since he caught my attention, the first time I saw him, I was in first grade, he was in second, he was just perfect, and I who never experienced the feeling of love before, just got stuck with it since I saw him dance alone at one of the classrooms after that all the students left. That day, I had to help my teacher with some work and ended up staying overtime. As I was leaving I heard music playing, and just followed the sound to finally fall for the magic of Taemin’s moves. Starting from that moment I followed each of his moves but never taking the courage to approach him, I had too little confident, instead, each day I stayed after the end of the lessons, and watched him dance from the corner, paying attention to not get caught by him. Just like magic, we both went to the same school after graduation, and here I am again, admiring that sweet dance machine.
I kept doodling in my notebook as my mind replayed the scene of earlier over and over again, and didn’t even pay attention to the fact that we were dismissed until Hyo Joon poked my arm.
“Aren’t you going to put your stuff in your bag and leave, we finished!”
“Arasso, arasso”
I just took my stuff and left the room with her. As we were walking down the stairs, an arm went around my shoulders and a voice whispered in my ears.
“Didn’t you miss me Pinky Cherry?”
“Yah! Minho-ah! It has been only two hours since I last saw you, and stop doing this, people will think we are a couple!” I said as I put down his arm.
“You actually look like one, and you look cute! Sometimes I really forget you are actually just best friends!” Hyo Joon added as I glared at her. Minho on the other hand blushed, and just looked away while coughing!
“Stop saying stupid things Hyo joon… Anyway, I’m leaving now, I have something to do, you guys head out first” I said as I walked away from them. As I was leaving I heard Minho talk.
“Where are you going again?”
“You don’t need to know! Bye” I answered while giving him a hand sign.
I fastened my steps, and head toward the dancing practice room, as I was turning left, I bumped into a boy, he was carrying some books that fell down, so I knelt down and helped him collect them, apologizing in the same time, at the moment our eyes locked, he blushed deeply and that surprised me. I don’t remember seeing him before, but I’m not supposed to know everybody here. I handed him some of the books then apologized again before leaving him to my destination.
When I reached the dancing practice room, I stood behind the door and watched from the window Taemin as he danced. I couldn’t hear the music, but the view alone was enough. Suddenly I couldn’t see him anymore, I tried to move a bit to see better when the door opened and Taemin appeared before me kind of surprised to see me there, and I was just dumbfounded, my eyes widened in astonishment.
“____-shi? What are you doing here? Looking for Minho-ah?” He asked.
“ Deh … but how did you know?” I said as I didn’t find a better excuse than he himself gave me, and sincerely wondering how he knew about Minho and I.
“Well you are always stuck with each other, everybody knows that where ____-shi is, Minho is!” he stated calmly, on the other hand I just laughed nervously. “Going back to why you are here, Minho left a while ago, so you don’t need to look for him inside” he then smiled at me, and when he was about to leave, I gathered my courage and asked him:
“ Taemin-shi?”
“Neh…?”
“How did you know my name?”
“The same way you knew mine” he answered coolly, winked at me and then just left, letting me once again, frozen in my place with no power to drag my feet away…
If he only knew how I came to know his name he wouldn’t say those words, because I was pretty sure our ways and reason are far anything but similar. I walked backward till my back hit the now closed door of the practice room and slipped against it until I was sitting on the floor. I just stayed there thinking of what he said, and sh*t, I guess he thought Minho and I were dating, and that was extremely bad. I mean, even if my chances with Taemin are so petite, this still makes it even worst. I sighed.
“What should I do with my life!”
Jinki’s POV:
We spent two hours trying to choose the right moves to the song. I loved singing that song earlier, it was just perfect, but making the dance as perfect as it is, made us work really really hard.
I might dislike Minho for his relation with ____, but working with him and the others was great, they are all working so hard, no one complaining, everyone giving it their best. But the best one was Taemin, his moves were no jokes, so flexible and yet so strong. I personally struggled to keep it up with him, but then he’s our best dancer even if he is the maknae.
During this practice, I forgot about everything, and lived a little bit of happiness in my world of worries.
“That will be it for today guys! At least we know now what we are going to do, the official training starts in two days, everyone gather here then after your classes! Arasso? Then you may take your leave!” I said as time was up, and everyone gathered their stuff and started to leave except for Taemin who didn’t stop dancing. I picked up my books and bag then left the room the last, leaving Taemin behind me. As I was going to the restroom to change first, I bumped into someone and my books fell on the floor, at my big surprise, it was ____. My heart suddenly started to beat so fast I promise I thought she could hear it, and I felt my face get hot. I couldn’t even apologize for hitting her, instead she helped me pick up the books and apologized instead of me, and then, our eyes locked, that was the first time I look at her in the eyes, and that startled me, and I was feeling my face get even redder than it already was. Her eyes were wide open, kind of surprised, and I knew from her reaction that I was acting weird. She handed me the rest of the books, apologized again and left. And stupid as I am, I couldn’t open my mouth, I didn’t talk, didn’t apologize, and didn’t take advantage of this situation that came to me for the first time since months now. I just wanted to punch myself until I get knocked out.
I woke up from my daydreaming , and walked away when Minho walked pass me, not even paying attention that I was actually there, then the thought that he could actually be following ____ crossed my mind. That made my heart squeeze and I just had the urge to follow him, and see what’s going on.
I sat on the floor and opened a book while he just stood around the corner, stealing glances from the other side without leaving his spot, he stayed there for a while before I saw him clenching his fists, he may have saw something unpleasant. He then returned from where he came. As he passed by me again I could hear him talk to himself.
“I knew it… I knew it”
He was angry, and I couldn’t guess why!
As I was processing what happened in my mind, I saw Taemin coming from the same direction as he was holding his bag, a little grin on his face, and minutes later, ____ came back too, walking lazily with a blank face. At that right minute, one million thoughts crossed my mind, and my heart shattered into pieces…
“____ and Taemin? What the hell happened between these two?”
I stayed there, replaying the scene over and over again, wishing what I suspected wasn’t the truth.
Because struggling with Minho always around her wasn’t enough…
