Chapter 8

*Miyoung's POV*

"Taemin wasn't here today."

That's the answer I got when I went to the cafe.

I hanged around the streets lifelessly.

"YAH!" A pair of strong arms hugged me from the back when a vehicle drove past me.

"Key?" I turned around facing the colourful bangs.

"Yah what are you thinking of? Don't you know it's dangerous like these?" He released me.

"Key.. I'm upset... I'm really sad..." I fall into his embrace and cried loudly.

"Yah.. Silly girl.. Is it Taemin who made you upset?" He patted my head gently.

"You won't know, you don't know anything.."

"I know, I know everything."

I stand straight up to face him, he knows everything?

"Don't give me that look. I know everything. Taemin and I are friends since young. He's that Lee Taemin you knew."

"Really!?" My eyes lighten up.

"Yes, he told me about his childhood. About how he loved a girl despite only , about how he avoid her when his family were bankrupt. About how he sees her from afar when she were searching for him in the playground."

"Taemin... Did that?" I started crying again. When I was running around searching for him, he actually saw but didn't appear?

"Miyoung, you need courage and patience for him to accept you. He wasn't the same anymore compare to when you first sees him. He changed a lot. He now has a wall around him that no one can enter or break it. Even me and my hyung were just on the edged of the wall. The only one inside that wall is him, and himself. Do you understand?" Key said softly to me.

"Key oppa, thank you." I smiled.

*Key's POV*

Key oppa? I smiled.

"Key oppa, do you know where Taemin lives?" She asked me and sniffed her red nose.

"You sure you want go?" I asked, she nodded.

*Miyoung's POV*

Small buildings, old lifts, narrow corridors. Key mentioned that Taemin's family were bankrupt. Is that the reason why he don't want to admit he's the old Taemin?

"Yah Lee Jaehyun, your son is supposed to pay us money today isn't he? COME OUT YOU LOSER." A few hooligans were outside the Taemin's house. I dare not approach but one of them saw me.

"Woah, a cute lady here." Slowly, all of them come near me.

"Yah, don't come any nearer, I will shout." I said it timidly.

"Shout? HAHA. This stupid old building has no one dare to save you." He run his hand on my face causing me to shiver a little.

"Yah, who the hell said that you can touch my girl?" A voice was heard, but who is it?

"Little bastard, who's your girl? This is now MY GIRL." The tattooed one held me closer to him, he hugged my waist tightly ensuring I won't run. It's Taemin's voice just now. I'm pretty sure.

"Who is little bastard? You pig." Taemin walked towards us and give a punch to the tattooed guy, he caught me and held me close to him.

"How dare you called me a pig you son of a bitch!" All of them ganged up and ambushed Taemin who is now trying his best preventing me from injuring.
