Im Sorry (1/1)

Minho woke up to his phone going off with a text message. He groaned when he saw that it was from Taehee, asking if he wanted to go help him feed the horses. He knew that it was a roundabout way of asking him if he wanted to talk. Minho really didn’t feel like it, but agreed anyway. Getting up as quietly as possible, he dressed in a tee shirt and jeans. Grabbing a baseball cap on the way out, he walked out to the barn. He noticed that his hyung was already loading hay on the truck when he reached it, so they worked in silence.

Taehee waited until they were on their way to fill up the horses’ water to say anything. “Look, I’m sorry for arguing with you yesterday. I was out of line, and you and JJ were right.

Taehee squeezed his shoulder gently. “I wish you could have known him. He was a good man…That’s why it feels like everyone is looking to ME to follow in his footsteps. There are big shoes to fill, and I don’t know if I can do it. Also, you were right when you said that not all of the Lights are bad. It’s like with any other creature. There are good and bad…like the human who killed our father.”

Minho nodded again, turning off the water. “Yeah. Lumin may be one of the good guys, if he is a Light. It would make sense, with the name he goes by. Who knows if we can really trust him, though? JJ seems to have all confidence in him, but he could be wrong. I do have a STRONG feeling that he’s not bad, though. A
