Kai finally landed in Japan after a couple delays and flight cancellations. He figured it was Karma against him, after leaving Taemin on read, and for lying to him. So when once he made it into the hotel and was settled, he sent his boyfriend a quick text. I made it to Japan safely. I don't know how often I will be able to talk to you, but I will try to send a text or call you when I have some free time. Love you...

Taemin was walking down the street in town when his phone dinged. He pulled it out of his pocket, smiling when he saw Kai’s name. He opened up the message to read it before sending back, ‘okay. I’m happy you made it safe. I love you too.’

He just hit send when he bumped into somebody, knocking his phone out of his hand and onto the sidewalk, screen first. He apologized to the person he bumped into as he quickly stopped to pick it up, hoping the screen wasn’t cracked.

Minho was walking down the street, looking at his phone, seeing that his ex, Sehun, had texted him out of the blue. It upset him that Sehun likes to contact him when finally something good is happening his life. He decided ignore the text and put his phone back into his pocket. But by the time he was ready to focus on where he was going, he bumped into someone, hearing them drop their phone. "Oh geeze. I'm so sorry." Minho apologized as he reached down to help pick up the phone that the person dropped. As soon as his fingers touched the other man's hand, he felt a spark between them which made him quickly remove his hand away. He wondered if the other man felt that same spark, or if he is going crazy because he was still slightly hung up on his ex due to the text he had sent him. He cleared his throat to focus himself on the man now. "Is your phone okay? If not, I can buy you a new one since it was my fault for bumping into you."

@ Bam.Bam
‘It wasn’t your fault. I wasn’t watching where I was going. It’s my fault so you don’t have to replace my phone if it’s broken, which it’s broken. That’s okay. I’ll have the screen repaired. No big deal. Don’t worry about it,’ Taemin smiled at the other man before slipping his cracked phone into his pocket and completely standing up, ‘ill pay more attention from now on. Bye,’ Taemin gave him another smile before walking around him and off down the sidewalk to go pick up his take out.

Minho got a better look of the man in front of him, and could help but think he is absolutely gorgeous. But a gorgeous man like him cant be single and he was sure that he wasnt into men. "Well I know a place where you can get your screen fixed without them charging you so much. It's the least I can do, since I still feel responsible for your phone." He offered. He wasnt ready to say goodbye to the gorgeous man just yet, knowing that they would never see each other again.

@ Bam.Bam
‘Really? That would be nice. I know screen repairs on the iPhone pro max is like four or five hundred and that’s about half my pay check,’ he gave the older man another smile. Now that he was paying more attention, he noticed the other was incredibly handsome. Nice eyes, a gorgeous smile...no Taemin you have a boyfriend, he thought to himself, ‘thankyou. I’m Taemin.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

"Trust me, I know. I hate how they like to charge an arm and a leg to fix a broken screen on iPhones. But these guys I go don't charge no more than $200." Minho smiled and then looked at the boy, who he now knew as Taemin. "Nice to meet you, Taemin. I'm Minho." He introduced back, but then blushed slightly. "Um did you want me to take you to place, or did you plan to go another time?" he asked shyly, trying to cover his slightly tinted cheeks.

@ Bam.Bam
‘Well I have nowhere else to be besides getting my food so would you want to come with me to pick that up and then we can go. I mean if you don’t have time, I understand, you can just give me the name and I’ll go.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Minho smiled, "Sure, I don't mind." He said and followed the boy to the restaurant. While they waited for Taemin to get his ordered, Minho figured he could get to know the boy, and maybe become friends. "So Taemin, are you from around here?" He asked, shyly.

@ Bam.Bam
‘Yes. I was born and raised here. You?’ He asked Minho as he got out his wallet to pay for his meal. He thanked the woman when she handed him his card back before giving him his food. He put his card back in his wallet before taking the bag and heading to the door with Minho.

@ Ian.Eastwood

"Me too, but just in a different district." He smiled and then began leading him to the iphone repair store. "I still live on the outside of the city, but my commute here is short." He continued, but then fell silent, not knowing what else to say. Taemin is cute and Minho gets shy when he is around cute men.

@ Bam.Bam
‘I live in the city so I have no commute to my job. It’s literally five minutes from my house which is a good thing and a bad thing,’ he gave the older another smile. When they got to the repair shop and walked inside, Taemin walked up to the counter with Minho before pulling out his phone, ‘hi. I dropped my phone and cracked the entire screen. How much would it be to fix it?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

The clerk looked at the phone, seeing that it wasnt damaged too badly. "$100. It will take about an hour to fix and have it ready for you. So if you want to stay and wait, there's a few benches over there" he said and pointed to the benches.

Minho nodded and watched the guy take Taemin's phone to the back to work on it. "Well I guess you dont need my help anymore. Sorry about your phone again. I guess I'll see you around?" He said, as he waved to Taemin.

@ Bam.Bam
Taemin was a little disappointed that Minho was leaving but he nodded, ‘I’ll see you around Minho. It was nice meeting you and thankyou for your help,’ he told the older before he went to go sit on the benches. He hoped maybe to hear from Kai but nothing. No text message or phone call but it’s okay. The younger is just busy. He did say he would contact Taemin whenever he had free time but he was still a little disappointed he hadn’t heard anything. He missed the younger and he only got to spend one day with him before he left to go on another business trip the day after he got home from one.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Minho stopped walking and decided turn back around to see if he could get Taemin's number and see if they could hang out sometimes. "Uh, Taemin?" He asked shyly when he spotted the boy. "I hope you mind me asking this, but can I have your phone number. Maybe we can hang out sometime. I could always make a new friend." He asked. "Only if you want to that is."

@ Bam.Bam
‘Sure,’ he took Minho’s phone from him and put his contact information in it before handing it back, ‘maybe you can come with me to see the new IT movie. I was going to go see it with my boyfriend but he’s out of town on a business trip. So would you like to see it with me? I’m actually going tonight.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Minho smiled when Taemin agreed to exchange phone numbers. He excited that he wanted him to go watch a movie with him, but was surprised that he had a boyfriend. Minho knew that Taemin wasnt single because of how gorgeous he was, but he didn't expect to be dating another guy. So he was happy to know that he could be honest with his sexuality to Taemin. "Sure I would love to."

@ Bam.Bam
Taemin smiled, ‘also if you want you can sit here with me and have some. It’s usually a lot for me and I always split it between me and Kai or I just eat the other half the next day. If not the movie is at 9 pm tonight, just meet me there,’ he would love to sit and continue talking to Minho but if the older had to go right now, he would understand.

@ Ian.Eastwood

"I dont mind, I actually dont have anything to do between now and the movie. I just figured that you didnt want to be bothered." He admitted before sitting next to the boy. "So tell me more about yourself, Taemin."

@ Bam.Bam
‘Well you already know I was born and grew up here. I work at a law office which is extremely boring to put myself through school. I go to Seoul’s performing arts school. I’m attending the university for dancing. It has a really great dance program.’
