The Riddle (1/1)
Stupidity and Pride, Chapter 29: The Riddle"You bastard! How the fuck could you do that to them?! They were your best and first friends. If it wasn't for Haneul, your first friend, we would have never talked to you, and you wouldn't be liked by everyone! If it wasn't for Taemin, we wouldn't have stuck around you! You are who you are because of them, and this is how you thank them?" Key's nostrils were flaring and he had no intention of stopping his rage. He scoffed before continuing. "Yah, do you have a conscience? Do you even know what that is? Really, you have a lot of fucking nerve. I'm so disappointed in you... Of how you turned into... whatever you wanna call yourself now." His scornful glare never left the culprit, who averted it by keeping his eyes focused on the ground as he resisted from tearing again. Key sighed before scoffing again and headed toward the door."I've had enough of this shit."Before fully exiting the enraged Key punched the wall near him with a loud roar and so much force that it cracked. Without another word, he left the scene, completely mad and disappointed. m style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">I thought I knew you like the back of my hand, Minho, Key began. I guess I was totally wrong. Why did you turn out like this? Where's the quiet, loving boy I thought I knew? You were the type who looked cold and indifferent on the outside, but would sacrifice himself for his loved ones, weren't you? So where is he? Why did you change?Jonghyun looked at Minho in pure dismay. He had nothing to say; his eyes said it all. m style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">You know how much Taemin loves Haneul. He was really hurt when he found out you two got together. Yet, he decided to let her go for both of your sakes, Minho, to be happy, and what? Only to find out you were playing a game. He shook his head and soon after left the house.Onew had the urge to follow suit, but opted to stay. He knew Minho; he wouldn’t do such things without any good reason. He looked at his left to find the guilty quietly crying, very fragile at that moment, like he would shatter any moment with just a breath of air. “Crying was never an expression of those who won. Well, they cried sometimes because of joy but from the looks of it, you’re not crying because of joy, why? You won your game, rejoice!”“I-““In your game, you fell in love with her, didn’t you,” he interrogated.Minho nodded in response, “I never wanted these things to happen. I asked her to be my girlfriend, not to steal her from Taemin, but to help him. He was supposed to be jealous and when he couldn’t take it anymore, he’d eventually confess to her. She was supposed to be shocked from happiness and return his love. I was supposed to say everything in the end and get my price, but the plan got out of hand. I don’t understand; this plan was diabolical, yet, why did it fail?” He sniffed.“Things don’t always happen the way we want it to happen. Sometimes, you have to be easy and just go with the flow. You don’t have to make plans and let your heart be the one to lead you. Things have their own ways, Minho. They don’t need cupids, like you. You tried to shoot an arrow to Taemin, but look at what happened. You tripped and fell on your own bow.”“What should I do now, hyung?” the younger one looked at the older one for right answers.“Only you know what is right and what you should do,” The older one stated and walked away living him thinking to himself.“I never liked riddles,” the younger muttered.
