A/N: OMG MY FIRST EVER ONKEY! >_< *SQUEAALS*
Kibum had always been a straight forward person. He isn’t afraid to tell people what he thinks of them to their faces. That was just the way he is. The moment he was told that he would be debuting soon he was happy beyond words. He had worked hard for this, neglecting sleep and even social life and finally it was all being paid off. It had all been worth it. He was proud of himself. He was determined to make him or SHINee should he say, a huge success and he was going to put his all into it. He was prepared to face the world in his new form. As Almighty Key. He didn’t want to become the best but just someone who he is not ashamed to be.
When he started to live with his new band mates he had tried his best to become friendly with them and took the role as the mother of the group quite happily. He knew he had to get used to this lifestyle even though he was not entirely happy with it. He had a long way to go. He didn’t mind Jonghyun’s awfully loud and obnoxious voice or Taemin’s continuous chirping. He didn’t even mind how Minho was always stuck up his own ass. Those were things he could eventually get used to with time. But there was one person he completely and utterly could not stand. Their full-of-fail leader.
“I hate you” Key made it clear to Onew after he breaks the third plate of the week. “You’re stupid and clumsy and I don’t find your jokes funny”
Onew listened to him with an honest look of apology and hurt written all over his face while Key picked up the broken pieces of plate from the floor, ignoring Onew completely. He hissed when his hand accidentally got cut by one of them. Onew crouched on the floor, alarmed and stretched his hand to take a look but retracted immediately when Key sent him a glare. He moved to the sink to wash away the blood.
Through the reflection of the kitchen window, he could see Onew slowly getting up and disappearing to his room but not before looking back at Key once more. Their gazes lock through the reflection and Key was quick to avert his eyes. He didn’t care if he had hurt Onew’s feelings. He was just telling the truth.
Two years were gone just like that before he even realised. He loved his life as Almighty Key. He was being admired by people in all over the world and he loved it all.
SHINee was a huge part of his life. Their lives were repetitive but he didn’t mind. He liked it just the way it was. Things have changed. He grew closer to his band mates as the time passed by. Jonghyun was still loud and annoying but he was a good listener, an understanding friend. Minho finally started opening up more and now there was nothing that Key didn’t know about him. Taemin certainly became more mature than before but the childishness never left him completely.
Onew was always so distant from him. No, it would be more right to say that it was the other way around. He was the one who was distancing himself from the other. There were times when he felt like Onew was reaching out, trying to know him more but Key wasn’t the one to give in.
Onew made him feel weird.
“Do you still hate me?” Onew asked when it was just the two of them in the dorm. The others were gone to their schedules and Key knew he will have to stay with Onew by himself so why didn’t he make up a reason to get out of there? Why was he watching TV when he was aware that Onew was sleeping in his bedroom?
“Were you not meant to be sleeping?” Key asks without looking away from the TV, trying to change the topic. His heart fluttered when he felt a warm weight on the couch next to him.
“Do you still hate me, Key?” Onew can be so annoying sometimes. Key has this urge to whack him with his spatula.
“Yes” Key refused to look at him. Instead he chose to play with the remote. “You haven’t changed one bit from the first time I met you. Still so clumsy and stupid” Key knows he shouldn’t be saying this to Onew. He is sensitive and fragile. But since he asked for it, he might as well get this off his chest. “My reasons to hate you have increased over the years. You give me these little things in my stomach and make my heart go crazy and I feel like I’m losing my damn mind when you’re around me. And I hate it!” By the time he finished speaking he is breathing hard and he doesn’t know when or why he raised his voice. After thinking about his stupidity, he got up to grab his jacket cursing aloud and burst out of the door leaving an absolutely dumbfounded Onew on the couch.
The symptoms Key had are of a dangerous and incurable condition called falling in love. This is the conclusion he came to after a good week of research. Key was in love with Onew and he wasn’t about to hide it.
“I think I love you, Jinki” They have their break time now and Key found it the perfect moment for him to confess. Key was looking straight into Onew’s eyes. He had practiced this yesterday night on the mirror. It didn’t seem that hard. Onew looked taken aback by the sudden confession rather than the mention of his real name. Key wasn’t surprised.
“I thought you hated me” he said closing the magazine he was going through.
“I lied. I love you.” Key said in reply and he wants to know how the other would react to this.
Onew studied Key’s face for a while and he smiled his eye smile tilting his head to the side. “Okay”
Key estimated all the possible responses he would get from Onew. He mostly expected a “Sorry, I can’t love you back” and already done some research on how to move on from loving someone. He even expected him to laugh it off as a joke but never this. Okay? What was that supposed to mean?
Key felt anger rushing into him and he snatched the magazine from Onew’s hand and bashed his head with it multiple times screaming “Why are you so freakin stupid?” and ran out of the recording studio and headed towards the dorm.
He was the stupid one to fall in love with a moron like Onew. He heard footsteps from the back and someone calling his name repeatedly. It’s Onew. Key knew it was Onew because only he would be stupid enough to run after him all the way to the dorm and he probably doesn’t even know what he did wrong. God knows how many times he might have tripped while running.
Key stopped shortly and turned around. Onew breathed heavily, looking all sweaty like he just came out of the shower.
“I-“He struggled to find his breath “I love you too”
Key’s heart lurched at the words. He moved closer to Onew to look at him, trying to read his face.
“Do you have any idea what you’re saying?”
Onew nodded his head confidently. “I always have” Key could not find a hint of lie in those beautiful brown orbs.
“I’m arrogant”
“I know” Onew nodded again, smiling softly.
“I can be a bitch sometimes”
“I know that too”, a low chuckle escaped from his lips.
“I’m possessive and impatient.” Key can feel tears blurring his vision. He was being exposed.
“I know.” Onew said holding Key’s body close. “But in my eyes you’re perfect.”
Key cries on to his shoulder clasping him tightly. This is me, Kibum. I am vulnerable, easily broken. So stay by my side. Forever.
“I love you Kibum” Onew said rocking their bodies and they remained like that until Key’s sobs died out.
