Taemin's POV

I took Yeeyeon back to her place after leaving Jonghyun's place, I've asked her if she wanted to go anywhere but she simply shook her head and the grip on the end of my shirt tighten.

"Yeeyeon are you tired?" I whispered and looked into her eyes, she shook her head and therefore we sat down on the floor in her living room.

"Yeeyeon, do you want to know about my past?" I prompted a question expecting her to reply me or something. That's it, I'm going to make her talk with my past.

She nodded and pulled the end of my shirt again.

"When I was young, I've no friends. No one wanted to be friends with me. My skin was icy cold as you felt it before, they are afraid of me. They're afraid of the coldness I have. It's like they will be frozen if they're with me. So they don't want to get close to me, they call me names. Names like cold bastard, icy boy, pathetic,"

I looked at her but she shows no reaction, I sighed.

"When you're born with no one, no one who loves you, no one who cares... You kind of get used to the feeling. You learned to be independent," I mumbled and suddenly her head was on my shoulder.

"But everything changed right after I met hyun. He was different from the rest of the guys. He was special. He made friends with me and don't mind touching me. He scolded me cold bastard but surprisingly I wasn't mad at his mocking. For once, I felt blessed. I feel like I finally have friend. I was even more happy when the he introduced me to SHINee, Now not only I have friends, I have family too,"

I smiled a little until I felt my shoulder wet, I looked at Yeeyeon and her eyes were closed with tears rolling down. I uses my thumb to wipe off her tear, I stroked her face and cupped her hands in mine.

"Yeeyeon, I'll protect you," I whispered in her ear and peck a light kiss on her forehead.

Two weeks later..

It's been two weeks since Jonghyun left, nothing changes between Yeeyeon and me. She's still not willing to speak and I'm accompanying her everyday. In the day I'll bring her to hyun's place where the SHINee will be and at the night I'll bring her back home. It's now summer break for school so we are having more freedom although we didn't report to school frequently after Jessica appears.

"Yeeyeon, it's breakfast," I yelled for her as I moved around in her tiny kitchen, I heard her footsteps as I opened the fridge and took out the bottle of milk.

I smiled at her and sit down opposite of her.

"Yeeyeon, these two weeks we've been going to Jonghyun's place in the afternoon, why not today we go to the park? The weather is good," I prompted the question and poured a cup of milk for her, she nodded.

-
We walked to the park, side by side. I wanted so much to grab her hand but in the end I still restrain myself from doing so, after all, I'm nothing but a guardian.

"Yeeyeon, want an ice-cream?" I smiled at her and she nodded, a small smile formed on her face.

I looked around and spotted an ice-cream cart nearby.

"Stay here, I'll be back okay," just as I turned around, her hand caught the end of my shirt.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back," I assured her and pulled her hand off me.

Yeeyeon's POV

"Stay here, I'll be back okay," Taemin said and turned around but I managed to catch his shirt again.

Ever since Jonghyun left, Taemin was the one who accompanied me through all the difficult times. It became a habit to catch onto him whenever he attempts to leave.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back," he gave me a little smile and pulled my hand off him.

Am I afraid that he might leave just like how Jonghyun left?

~Flashback~

"I love you," he whispered into my ear.

"Hyun... Oppa?" His sweat dripped onto my shirt.

"I love you. I don't care whether you love Taemin but..." He stopped to catch his breathe.

~End of Flashback~

When I was in my thoughts, someone tapped my shoulder from behind, I turned around and a cloth covered my mouth and my world was dark.

Taemin's POV

I brought two vanilla ice-cream cone and walked back to where I left Yeeyeon.

"Yeeyeon?" I looked around and found out that she wasn't here.

"YEEYEON!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, I know she's not willing to talk but at least she will hear me if I shouted for her.

"Damn!" I cursed and threw the ice-cream on the floor. Where has she gone to? Is she in danger?

I ran around the park shouting for her name and I suddenly stopped.

~Flashback~

Sender: Unknown
Message: I heard that the head of SHINee has left, I pity you. Anyway, the game is not over yet.

~End of Flashback~

"No, not her. NOT YEEYEON," I muttered under my breath and ran towards the abandon building. They will be there right?

Buzzzz, my phone vibrated. I immediately fished out my phone from my skinnie and looked at the message.

Sender: Unknown
Message: Aww, the fact that Jonghyun left is a big blow to this girl? She seems weaker than usual huh.

Fuck, she's really caught by them.

I continue to run but again, I stopped. What if I can't make it out alive? I thought. If I go alone, it will be one against God knows how many. What if I can't make it? No, even if I die. I must save Yeeyeon.
I took out my phone again and sent a message to Key, hoping that he could see his phone while lovey-dovey with Jessica. Did I mention that Key was actually dating Jessica now? It's unbelievable isn't it? It took me awhile to register that fact too.

-
"Yeeyeon!" I barged through the door immediately was caught by two men.

"Yo yo.. Look who's here.. Our cold prince Taemin-shi," I looked up only to see the long-scarred face, Lee joon.

"Take him in," he commanded the men who captured me.

They brought me into another room and I could see Yeeyeon was caught hold tightly by one man. Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but to fight back to the two who caught hold on me. I punched both of them and they collapsed on the floor. Another three came I kicked one in his stomach and another two in their face. After successfully knocking down the men, someone snapped his finger and I turned to look at Lee joon who was smirking towards Yeeyeon's direction. I looked at Yeeyeon and realised a knife was under her chin. She looked terrified and her eyes seem to be seeking for my... Shirt to grab? My heart chuckled a little.

"Taemin-ah... What if I cut you in your face? What will happen to your pretty boy face?" Lee joon hold a knife and swing it in front of my face, I did not move. I was afraid that Yeeyeon will be hurt if I move. He kicked the back of my knee and caused me be on my knees.

"Go ahead and slash me if it's all you want as long you don't hurt her," I lowered my voice and closed my eyes.

Without warning, Lee joon slashed me on my left shoulder causing me to groan a little. I opened my eyes and looked at Yeeyeon who's sobbing terribly now.

"Yeeyeon..." I said, loud enough for her to hear and a second slash came down on my right shoulder.

"Ughhh..." I groaned again.

"Yeeyeon... If you're s-scared.. Close y-your eyes..." I looked at her as she slowly closes her eyes.

"Wow, look what we got here. A noble love," Lee joon laughed and he stabbed the knife into my back, it was more painful than the wound on my shoulder, I groaned and as he violently pulled out the knife, I fell onto the ground feeling a little lost and giddy..
