Dear Jonghyun [5/6]
Chapter Five
Kibum POV
We watched him exit the airport, waving at him when he reached the window. Taemin was so strong; it made me feel like the young one. Once he was out of sight I slid an arm over his shoulder, pulling him closer,” Guess it’s just me and you now, kiddo.”
He smiled and his nose snuggled into my rib cage, I laughed and pinched his cheeks,” Are you sure you’re a teenager? Let’s go to McDonalds!”
. . . . .
I watched as Taemin took a big bite of his burger, the juice dripping down the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away messily with the back of his hand and grinned. “You know, I thought that when hyung left you would too. I’m really glad you’re this cool.”
I stuck a few fries in my mouth and chewed, nodding at the window,” I don’t see a reason to exclude you from my incredibly awesome life, Taeminnie.” The laughter in his eyes was so fascinating. Taemin nodded again,” Do you have a family?”
I grinned and took a sip of my iced tea, swirling the straw around a couple of times,” I live with my best friend and his son, Yoogeun. My real family, well what was left of it, died in a car accident some years ago.”
Taemin bit his lip; I knew what he was thinking. I shrugged and ruffled his hair,” It’s alright, live goes on, I move on.” I cleared my throat. “So, want to go check out this action figure store I found? I’ll buy you one.”
His eyes widened, much like his brother’s,” No way! You’d really do that?!” I nodded, holding up a shiny gold credit card. He laughed and led me into the car after throwing away the remains of his wrappings.
. . . . .
After dropping Taemin off at his house I went back home. It was dark, and I made my way into the shower.
. . . . .
I got out and swung my hair around with the light beige towel. I wrapped it around my neck and wrapped a larger one loosely around my waist. I quietly tiptoed into our shared bedroom, the feeling was different, I missed it.
I went over to the drawers and fished out my pajamas. I started pulling on my briefs when I stopped because of the nightstand light coming on. I quickly pulled my briefs back up as I gazed feverishly at Minho.
Third Person POV
He took off his reading glasses and put down his book. He was sitting upright, his back being supported by the wall and a fluffy pillow. His arms were crossed and a tongue went over his lips as he let out an exasperated sigh.
“I thought you’d never come back. Did you leave something?” his voice was sharp, hitting Kibum in a confusing way. Kibum turned around to take out a pair of pajamas, his attention on Minho.
He cleared his throat as he pulled the cotton shirt over his damp head,” Minho… I’d never leave you guys, I was just with Jonghyun until he left for England. What’s eating at you?” Minho scoffed, he found an extra pillow to kill as he held them tightly between his arms.
“Me, mad? Oh no, I just thought it was awesome to be the second best after being with you all my life, you know. Because this is what friends do, treat each other like shit until their toy left for fucking… the other side of the world!”
Kibum turned around after putting his pants back on. He leaned against the collection of drawers, his arms also folded with a series of hand movements. “What the hell is your problem, Min?! Did you go mad while I was gone or something? Calm the fuck down and lower your voice, Yoogeun is sleeping.” He hissed.
Minho clutched the pillow tighter,” How would you know? You skipped your shift for two weeks now! Don’t fucking talk about my son unless you care about him.”
Kibum climbed into the bed, sitting criss-cross on his side. He kept his growl low,” You think I don’t care about him? What kind of shit is that, Minho?! You know I’d die for that kid, you out of anyone… you should know that.” Minho kept quiet so Kibum continued. “I don’t know what the hell happened to you, to us, while I was gone but let’s not do this tonight.”
Minho bit his lip, watching Kibum getting settled into bed. Kibum told him to turn off the nightstand light but he just sat there. Kibum turned his head backwards,” Minho… turn the light off.”
He shook his head,” I don’t know why I always listen to you, even when you are the one to do the wrong thing, I listen to every word you say. I hate it, Kibum, I hate what you do to me.” He balled up his fists in the blanket and got up, thrashing the thin fabric on the other side of the bedroom,” I HATE IT! I knew he was going to leave you, I knew he didn’t care, because, that’s just how those people are! They’ll use you like some summer fling and spit you out!”
Kibum felt tears well up in his eyes and he caught them with the back of his hand. He pressed his heels into the bed and whimpered,” You don’t know him at all, how dare you say that about him, Minho. Did you forget your place?!”
The tall figure wrapped his long fingers in his locks and twirled them viciously,” And what do you know about him, Kibum?! You’ve only known his for two weeks!”
Kibum hated when Minho was angry, it was very rare. He often got scared when it happened,” Minho… it doesn’t matter how long you’ve known a person, it’s how much you know about them that counts. I-I don’t have anything more to say to you, good night.”
. . . . .
The weeks went past slower than anything. Kibum spent a lot of bonding time with Taemin when he got out of school. Yoogeun usually came along and they both got along. Minho was still avoiding Kibum whenever he could. Kibum would usually try to strike up a conversation but he always failed and ran into the bedroom to spill out tears. He always went on the laptop at night and webcam Jonghyun when he wasn’t working.
Kibum POV
It was like this for weeks until there was a mysterious knock at the door. Taemin entered and a figure behind him followed closely behind. The blonde bangs that usually inhaled the sunlight turned into chocolate brown, complimenting his skin color perfectly. My heart automatically stopped.
“Hello Baby. Did you miss me yet?”
I ran at full speed and rammed him into a wall after jumping up and circling my legs around his waist. I hugged him tightly, rejoicing with all my old feelings,” I missed you so much, yes, I did I really did! Oh my gosh I can’t believe Amy let you come here! Did she let you blow off your schedules for this?! She is my new hero!”
Jonghyun laughed weakly,” Uh, yeah, she did but she did have a condition… but, never mind. I missed you so much, baby.”
