104.Taemin (SHINee) Part 1

The pros of having a rich boyfriend: Getting spoiled, going on trips, having fancy dinners all the time.

The cons of having a rich boyfriend: Everyone thinks you're just using him for his money.

But so what if you are? That's your business.

The small group of elites in my school are the top dogs, according to their "fan base" who worship them because they're rich. Jongin, Suho, Krystal, Taeyeon, and a few others, not to mention Taemin, are all apart of the high pedestal "haves" in our caste system. And the rest of us are the not-so-fortunate "have-nots". Not that that actually bothers me.

Sometimes the rich girls like to see which poor girl they can make fun of this week. Not all of them are like that, but some.

And sometimes the rich boys like to have a competition to see who can pull the most girls in a week. And sometimes they makes bets and whoever loses has to go out with one of the "regulars", as they call us, that the others picked out. Their game is they have to go out with her for a month, then harshly break up with her. Just sounds like a waste of time to me.

And that's where I come in.

I was standing at my locker, by myself as usual, when the main three rich boys, Jongin, Suho and Taemin turned the corner at the same time they do everyday. They stopped at Suho's locker as usual, but they seemed quieter than usual. Normally they make sure that people know of their presence, but for some reason, they're being quiet. They were huddled together like penguins. I paid them no attention as I put my giant text book away, but then I froze. Did I just hear my name?

"Just do it," Suho whispered.

"I-I can't. That's wrong," Taemin replied.

Taemin is the sweeter one of the group. The others are heartless jerks, but Taemin is more sensitive.

"Look, your family just got money, we were born into it. Therefore we have seniority. Meaning you have to do what we say," Jongin said harshly, poking Taemin's chest.

Taemin sighed. "Fine,"

I quickly went back to what I was doing when I saw Taemin coming over.

"H-Hey, (y/n)," He said.

I slowly closed my locker and looked at him. "Hey, Taemin," I replied. I already knew what was happening, but I didn't stop it. This is the first time Taemin lost a bet and has to ask someone out.

"Look, um, I-I've been noticing you lately, a-and I was wondering if you wanted to-"

"Yes," I didn't want to see the poor boy struggle anymore, so I wanted to make it easier for him.

"Huh?"

"I'll go out with you," I said.

He was surprised. "O-oh, alright then. Saturday, I'll pick you up at 7, dress nice,"

I gave him a smile and nodded. "See you," I walked away and sighed.

I never knew that I would ever be the next target, but I guess it was just a matter of time. I can't believe those dorks don't know that people know about their little game. But oh well, being wined and dined by a rich guy won't be so bad. And since I know that we'll be breaking up in a month I'll be expecting it, so neither of us will develop feelings.

Saturday came around quicker than I had anticipated, so I got dressed in a short red dress with three-quarter sleeves and waited for Taemin to show up. When the door bell rang, I jumped up to answer it.

"I'll get it!" I yelled. I opened the door to see Taemin standing there in a suit, holding roses.

"Good evening," He said, holding the roses out.

"Good evening," I played along and accepted the roses.

"You look beautiful," He said.

I smiled shyly and giggled. "Thank you. Wait here, I'm going to put these in water,"

I groaned quietly as I quickly went and tossed the flowers on my bed. I wanted to hurry and leave before my mom saw Taemin to ask where I was going.

"Oh, (y/n)! You didn't tell me you were going on a date!" I rolled my eyes, then quickly put on a smile.

"You didn't tell you mother? I hope you're not embarrassed of me," He said, charmingly, making my mother swoon.

"Aw! You are too adorable!" My mom said.

"Heh, okay, let's go Taemin," I said.

"Have fun you two!" She yelled as she closed the door.

Taemin quickly walked to the passenger side door of his flashy Bentley and opened it for me. I thanked him and got inside. 'Hmm, not bad,'

The ride to the restaurant was quiet and a little awkward. After we got there, of course Taemin opened the car door for me. It was kind of cute how he tried to impress me. But I had to remind myself that this was just a game that I had secretly agreed to play. I just didn't know that I would end up losing.
