Title : It was All Begun from the Bed
Rating : PG-13
Pairing: Onew/Taemin
Summary: As the title said, bed is the source of problems...
Onew laid his body above the grasses. It was a wide, beautiful field with green grasses and blossoming sunflowers everywhere. The sky was so blue and the sun shone brightly. Onew enjoyed the warmth of the sun while humming his favorite song.
“Oh, I’m hungry”, he said. Suddenly, he heard something from the distance, someone’s coming. But the voice was too loud for just a “someone”. So, he got up and turned his head to the right where the voice came from.
Onew couldn’t believe what he saw. A group of chicken passed in front of him. They waved their wings to him, just like calling him with an eat-me-expression.
“CHICKEN!”, Onew shouted happily.
Onew then ran, trying to chase those chickens. He was so happy, just like a kid getting candies for Trick or Treat. Those chickens kept calling him.
“Onew … Onew… Onew…”, the voice’s getting louder, ”Hyung… Hyung… Hyung…”.
“They called me hyung?”, Onew stopped. He was a little bit confused hearing those chickens called him with a “hyung”. But then he ran chasing those chickens again.
“Onew… Hyung…”, the voice’s getting closer.
“Hyung…”
“Hyung…”
“Hyung…”
Onew opened his eyes. No chickens, no green grasses, no sun light. It’s his bedroom, a room he shared with other SHINee members.
“Ah~ so, it was a dream”, he thought.
But then, he heard someone’s breath, a hard and exhausted breath.
“Hyung…”
Someone’s hand had landed on his left shoulder, tapping him gently.
“WHOA!”
Onew was shocked. It was Taemin’s hand. As usual, he had moved to Taemin’s bed, hugging him. Confused?
Taemin’s bed was exactly next to Onew’s bed on the right. And don’t know why, Onew likes to roll every time he sleeps and always ends up awakened by Taemin’s scream, “Don’t you have your own bed?!” or “Oh, not again hyung!”.
So, Onew got up and realized that Taemin, who was fully covered by the blanket, was the one who kept calling his name, not those silly chickens on his dream.
“Ah, you scared me. What’s wrong?”
But the magnae didn’t say a word.
“Taeminnie?”
The only thing Onew could hear was Taemin’s hard breath.
“Taeminnie, what happened?”
Again, Taemin didn’t even answer. Onew pushed Taemin’s body a bit. Now he could see his face. He could see a lot of sweat on it . “Is it that hot here?”, he asked himself. Onew then opened the blanket covering Taemin’s body.
The leader then stroked his magnae’s head, removing some hairs from his forehead. Magnae’s face was just too adorable. But, Onew felt something wrong.
“Taeminnie!” Onew shook Taemin’s body. No response.
“Taeminnie!”, once again he called his little brother’s name.
“Hyung…”, Taemin answered weakly.
“Oh my God…”

“Hey, hey you guys, wake up!”, Onew slapped Jonghyun’s, Key’s and Minho’s butts to wake them up.
“What do YOU want?”, Key yelled angrily.
“This is SERIOUS!”, Onew yelled back at him.
“Well, at least don’t slap our butts just to wake us up, would you hyung?”, said Jonghyun.
“Okay, I’m sorry!”
“So what’s the matter hyung?”, asked Minho who seemed to be just a half awaken.
“Taeminnie…”, a panicked tone could be heard from his voice.
Jonghyun, Key, and Minho who were sleepy, suddenly opened their eyes wider.
“What’s wrong with… Hey, where is he?”, asked Key.
“That’s what I’m going to tell you. Listen, just now, Taemin woke me up. He kept calling me. I saw him sweat a lot and when I touched his forehead, he was…”
“He was what?!”, asked Jonghyun.
“He was SO HOT!”.
The three boys were quite for some seconds and then, they laughed out loudly.
“Hahaha… Whatever he does, it’s Onew’s condition! Ahahahahaha~”
“What’s so funny?!”, said Onew.
“I know hyung.We all know he’s SO HOT despite his young age”, said Jonghyun while laughing his ass off.
“NO! That’s not what I’m talking about!”, Onew yelled.
“No need to hide it, hyung. We know”, said Minho while tapping his hyung’s shoulder.
“NO~”, said Onew.
“So, where is he, hyung? What did you do to him? Omona! He’s not even legal yet!”, Key shouted. The boys, except Onew of course, burst into laugh for the second time.
“GUYS, I’M SERIOUS!”, Onew yelled angrily while hitting the wall with his hand, and he’s serious. The three boys, they never saw their leader this angry before. Suddenly the room became so silent.
“Look… Sorry, I didn’t mean to…”, said Onew.
“No hyung, we should be the one who apologize”, Minho answered.
“So, Taemin…?”, asked Key.
“He… He’s on the way to the hospital…”
---
Taemin was rushed to the hospital. He was taken by their manager. He had a very high fever until he almost blacked out. That night, he was diagnosed by the doctor with the newly trend illness in K-Pop world, swine flu.
On the next day, all the hyungs came to visit him. They gave all their supports for the magnae, especially Jonghyun and Onew who were just recovered from the same disease. They couldn’t interact directly so they used an intercom to chat from the window separating Taemin’s bed and the guests inside the room.
“Taeminnie, so now it’s your turn”, said Jonghyun.
“It was all begun from you, hyung”, answered Taemin with a weak voice. His fever hadn’t gone yet but he kept smiling for his hyungs.
“Get well soon honey, umma is so worried about you!”, said Key.
“Okay. Eh, by the way umma, I mean, my real umma will come. I miss her…”, said the magnae.
“What a good news”, said Minho.
The hyungs smiled for him.
“Take a good rest and eat a lot”, Jonghyun gave Taemin advices.
“Okay…”
“We’ll miss you so much”, said Minho.
“I’m gonna miss you all, hyungs. It’s kind of boring here”, said Taemin.
“Be patient, my baby”, said Key while sending a “kiss” for him.
“Thanks”, Taemin acted like catching Key’s kiss, “Mmm… Where is… Onew-hyung?”
Right after that, we could hear a big “BAM” sound. It’s Onew, his forehead “kissed” the door when he entered the room.
“OUCH!”
“It must be him”, said Taeminnie.
“Of course, who else?” said Jonghyun.
Onew took a seat right besides Jonghyun and took over the intercom.
“Hi, Taeminnie!” Onew waved at the magnae while holding his forehead.
“Hyung, don’t tell me you’re walking while texting again”, said Taeminnie while giggling weakly.
“I don’t have to tell you. You’ve known it”.
“Hyung…”
Hearing Taemin called him hyung, Onew remembered the dream he had last night. He suddenly laughed, alone; making all his dongsaengs confused seeing him.
“What’s wrong with him?”, Key stared with a what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-his-brain-face.
“Whatever he does…”, said Taeminnie from the distance.
“It's Onew’s condition!" said Jonghyun, Key and Minho in return. They ended up singing Onew’s anthem.
“No guys, I just remembered my dream last night, oh chicken…”, Onew smiled with a puppy eyes on his face.
“Hyung, I haven’t event finished my words”, Taemin tried to get back to the point.
“Oh yes, what is it?”, Onew sticked his face to the window.
“Thanks”, Taeminnie smiled, ”If only you didn’t get up last night, I would probably have been dead”.
“Ah… Nevermind”, Onew replied with a HUGE smile on his face.
Not long after that, the manager came and told them to leave. It’s time to rehearse before their performance on Music Core.
“Bye, Taeminnie. We’ll come again”, said Jonghyun.
They left the room.
“Wait”, Taeminnie yelled at the last person leaving the room, Onew.
“Hmm?”
“Hyung, you know what, I… kind of miss you rolling to my bed… Hahaha… I’m all alone here and I miss such a silly thing like that.”
Onew took a deep breath and started talking.
“Taeminnie, when I was hospitalized I was so suffering, not because of the flu, but I wasn't able to roll from my bed and hug you. I ever rolled once when I slept and I fell from the bed!”
Taeminnie laughed.
"Come to think of it, maybe you got the swine flu from me!"
"I think so..." Taemin gave him a so-you-are-the-culprit stare.
“Now rest and get well soon, so I can do that silly thing again to you”.
Taemin nodded. So, Onew said goodbye and walked out.

Everyone was so happy. Taemin had recovered and came back to the dorm. They held a small party with the manager and Taemin’s parents.
Late at night, when everyone had gone to sleep…
“Hyung, you haven't slept yet, have you?”, Taeminnie asked the person besides him.
“Nope”, Onew replied.
“Hyung, I… I can't sleep.”
“Try to count sheeps. No. Chickens. Or… just change the chickens with me”
Taemin chuckled.
“No, hyung…”
“So, what could make you sleep?”
“Hmph… How about you, rolling to my bed now?”
“Aye… Sir!”
