TANGLED UP IN ME
You wanna know more, more, more about me
I'm the girl who's kicking the coke machine
I'm the one that's honking at you cuz I left late again
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away, Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions
Do it all for your reaction Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me
“Taemin… don’t you have a quarter? Come on!” Kibum urged lightly.
“If I had one we’d be drinking Dr. Pepper already…”
“Go ask manager hyung for one!”
Taemin’s eyes almost bugged out. “But we aren’t supposed to be drinking soda…! If he finds out then we’d be skewered over the dorm’s fireplace.”
“Rrrgph!” Kibum kicked the side of the vending machine.
The force was so hard the machine almost toppled over the poor boys. Good thing it didn’t though. Kibum took Taemin’s hand in his as they walked up the company’s building’s stairs. They walked through numerous hallways before grabbing a free water out of the fridge.
Kibum took a sip, then passed it onto the younger. He glanced at the shabby clock on the counter, his eyes widening.
“We’re late! Late, late, late! Taemin they’ll leave without us!”
Taemin choked on the freezing water as he was being pulled down the stairs once again. “Hyung! Stop, wait… THE WATER WENT UP MY NOSE!”
But he kept running. They ran and ran until he was punching numbers into the keypad at the garage. The sliding doors slid to the side, Kibum took no time to start scanning for their van. There was a flash of light, then a ruuuum ruuuum sound. Kibum threw his hands in the air, flailing them wildly.
“HYUNG! Gah… hyung wait! Stop the car!” Kibum trailed after the large, black van.
Taemin followed. “Key hyung, you’ll get hurt!”
“Star King, rehearsals, Music Bank… we’re going to miss it all!”
He latched onto the trunk like a mad man, kicking and screaming. It came to a halt and Kibum flew onto the floor. A window opened and Minho’s head popped out.
“You left late again!” he said.
Kibum rubbed his head. “Thanks Captain Obvious… thanks a lot.”
“Get in the car, kids, we’ve got a schedule to do, y’know,” their manager coaxed.
“Go in first Taemin.”
Kibum settled down in the back row with Jonghyun. He had a pained expression on. He touched Kibum’s thumb, pulling it into his lap.
“Are you okay, Kibummie?” he mouthed.
Kibum pulled away nastily, wiping his hand on his shirt as if Jonghyun just sneezed on him. “What’s it to you?”
Jonghyun frowned. He rested his hand on Kibum’s knee instead. Kibum turned to face the window, his smile growing large.
You wanna know more, more, more about me
Gotta know reverse psychology
I'm the reason why you can't get to sleep
I'm the girl you never get just quite what you see
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away, Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions
Do it all for your reaction Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me
Jonghyun brushes his teeth alone. He usually does anyway, so it doesn’t matter. But a knock is heard and Kibum comes piling in. He grins happily before squirting a fat glob of toothpaste on his toothbrush. But the thing is… it’s a new toothbrush. One that had a chubby dinosaur head on it and vibrated on its own.
Jonghyun frowned. “That’s not funny, Kibum.”
“Who’s said hygiene was funny, Jonghyun ?” Kibum bumped hips with him.
“I’m still mad at you, you know. Don’t think you can just come in here and pretend you didn’t totally reject me in the van earlier. I’m not falling for it, nor am I going to forgive you.”
Kibum’s eyes softened as he took in the burning elder. He giggled to himself. Jonghyun spat the rest of his remaining bubbles into the basin and ran cold water through his teeth before also spitting that out. He turned around and wiped his mouth on a small hand towel marked with a royal blue J. He slammed the bathroom door shut on his way out.

“Look who’s joining us for a snack,” Onew murmured when a sleepy-head Jonghyun erupted from the bedroom.
Taemin frowned, pulling himself closer to Kibum on the floor. He cuddled closer to his hyung who was currently rereading chapter three of Harry Potter aloud. He played with his finger protectively.
“Hyung, sit here, I saved you a spot.” Minho motioned next to Kibum (the side that Taemin didn’t possess).
“It’s fine… I’ll just sit he-“
“Just do it,” Onew prodded.
Jonghyun complied. He could almost feel Kibum’s smile as he read. Jonghyun pressed his fingers against the cool, ceramic bowl full of peanuts.
“Can I have one?” Kibum asked innocently, opening his mouth and leaning in closer.
“Hyung… the story.” Taemin scowled.
“Please?”
Jonghyun gulped, raising a single peanut up from the bowl. The salty goodness poked into Kibum’s full bottom lip. He munched on it, keeping eye contact with the elder.
“Delish!” Kibum licked his lips. He watched Jonghyun turn to the TV, popping a few into his own mouth.
“Ooh, hyung, you got something there…” Kibum brushed his pointer finger over the corner of Jonghyun’s lip. He grabbed whatever he claimed to have saw and ate it.
Taemin growled. Minho laughed. Onew sighed, young love.
“Hyung the story! Go on before we have to go to bed!” Taemin said irritably.
“Okay, okay.” Kibum sighed and turned to Jonghyun,” Do you want a kiss?”
Kibum put the book down. His two pointer fingers latched onto the boy’s dimples and he leaned in so their breaths merged. Jonghyun’s eyes dilated. He shook his head nervously, looking at Onew, not for help, but of embarrassment of the other watching. Kibum let go, placing those same fingers on his own cheeks and puffing them cutely.
“Just kidding!”
Jonghyun couldn’t sleep that night.
You think that you know me
You think that I'm only
When everything I do is only to get tangled up in you
You wanna know more, more, more about me
I'm the girl that's sweeping you off your feet
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions
Do it all for your reaction, Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me
“Listen Kibum,” Jonghyun whispered when he pulled Kibum out of bed at three in the morning. “I know you, okay? I know you think I’m your toy and all, but that needs to stop. I’m not a toy. Are you listening?”
“Jjongie, you’re too cute.”
“Just shut up would you? Are you even listening to yourself? I swear… your bipolar, right?”
Kibum shook his head. “I’m in love.”
“See! You’re not listening, you never listen. You always babble on and on about Taemin and how cute he is, or Minho and how sexy and athletic he can be. What about me? Who are you in love with? Manager hyung? I see Kibum, I SEE! I have three eyes, all with 20/20 eyesight!”
“Do you want to go out?”
Jonghyun pulled back. “What?”
“Do you want to be my boyfriend? Simple as that.”
“Well… I um… no, NO! I will not be your boyfriend! Because you’re a flirt, you’re a big fat flirt that likes to play with boys your age. Uh-huh! Mir, Jinwoon, Seunghyun, Minho, damn boy… you’re a whore!”
“All those people are needed to make one person jealous. Unfortunately, I think you missed overprotective Taemin in that list…” Kibum smiled tiredly, palming at Jonghyun’s broad chest. “Jjongie… just say it, you’re falling for me.”
Jonghyun caught his hands. “I will never!”
“You’re tangled up in me, just say it! You looooove me! Kim Jonghyun and Kibum sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!”
“We aren’t kissing!”
“But you want to. I know you’re puppy motives, Jjongie. You want it.”
“Shut up.”
“Ooh, Jjongie! Jjongie is so pretty… lee-play lee-play, did you know we sang replay like that? How embarrassing! Oomph!”
Jonghyun squeezed Kibum between his arms. Kibum choked on the lack of air. But, nonetheless, he smiled.
“I love you. You make me crazy, but I love you.”
Kibum said in a strangled voice,” It’s called being tangled up in love, silly.”
“Shut up, you talk too much.”
