Playing With Fire
Wanted LoveThe seniors went back to their dormitory. Minho was taking a shower while Jonghyun played the piano. Taemin had already changed into his pajamas and listened to the music his roommate was playing. He enjoyed moments like this, now sitting there on the bed and letting his friend go all out with his skills. Taemin scrolled through social media, while Jonghyun exercised playing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen. The group chats of the university were flooded with messages about the handsome heartbreaker and the sun-kissed boy, photos of them smooching were taken by other students in the arcade and shared in the chat. They made comments about the two boys. Some were furious, jealous, disappointed, disgusted and hated the idea of them being together, whilst others liked and shipped it, were supportive. Taemin smiled while he read all the messages. His ex-girlfriends had a lot to say. He had no remorse, instead he liked the idea of being titled as the shameless heartbreaker, handsome player.
“Are you sure about bickering with him?” Jonghyun asked him after a while and changed from ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to ‘Comptine D’un Autre Été’, “Jongin will be in trouble for sure. Both your fan-girls are mad about it.”
Taemin nodded without a word and kept reading the messages in silence.

“They have no manners!”
“Do their parents know? O.o”
“I hope Kim Jongin dies.>:(”
“I cannot believe they kiss in public like this!”
.

“How can two boys be like this? They are disgusting! YUCK!”
“Right, because two guys liking each other is sooooooo out of this world. -.-”
“It was just a peck, no tongue in the kiss. They are fooling us!”
“Maybe Taemin is holding him hostage? You know all what kind of player he is! JERK! ;P”

“Who cares? Give me both boys! I can handle two boyfriends x)”
“Right! Taemin is sooooo hot! No wonder he gets girls and boys.”
“Jongin is handsome, I wanna be his pretty skin covering his entire body.”
“Creep.”
“Maybe Taemin is through with all the girls and needs something new in his life.”
“Are they really a couple or is this some sort of a joke?”

The messages kept coming. Taemin put away his phone and crossed his arms behind his head. He laid back and looked to the ceiling.
“No worries. Kai’ll give up soon.” Taemin answered belated and clicked with his tongue, “He stands no chance against me.”
Jonghyun softly pressed the keys and closed his eyes to the melody coming from the piano.
“But didn’t you say that you-.” he wanted to bring up what his friend had mentioned earlier, but was interrupted by Minho who stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
The charismatic boy flicked his wet fingers and made Jonghyun flinch because of the water drops landing on his skin. With a laugh Minho then approached Taemin and did the same thing to him. He jumped up immediately and tried to block Minho’s arms. They laughed playfully, while Jonghyun wiped the drops from his skin and dried the piano too.
“How often do I have to repeat myself?” he scolded his tall roommate, “Be careful with water around the piano.”
Minho sulked sadly and nodded apologetic. Taemin let go of his arms and sat back on his bed. Jonghyun entered the shower this time, while Minho put on some boxers and dried his hair with a towel. The tall boy had trained his abs and had a great body.
“It’s been three times already, Taeminnie!” Minho giggled and winked at his friend, “Are you sure you don’t enjoy kissing your junior?”
Taemin looked at him with a lifted brow. He then shook his head, got up and picked up his vape from the drawer. Minho laughed, took away the unhealthy device and wiggled it back and forth.
“You have the need to relax just because I asked you this?” Minho noticed and smiled, “I’m jealous now. You never vaped because of me.”
Taemin grabbed his vape and put it back in the drawer. He then cracked his fingers with a sigh. Their conversation was cut by the loud singing voice of Jonghyun in the showers. They laughed because of it, but Minho crossed his arms and waited for a response.
“Kai really thinks that I like him...” Taemin admitted, “Or he wants me to like him. Did I confuse him?”
Minho nodded with a pouty expression and put his arm around Taemin’s shoulders.
“I mean, I would love to be confused by you”, he whispered shamelessly in his ear and got bumped in the arm by Taemin.
“Stop joking.” the handsome boy said, “I am his tutor until finals
