FALLEN / 1st part - The Meeting FALLEN / 2nd part - Words Through The Lens FALLEN / 3rd part - The Banquet FALLEN / 4th part - Unplanned Confession (Acceptance and Denial)
The sun was high when Minho’s eyes fluttered open; he reached out his hand to the empty space beside him. ‘He’s gone.’ Minho rose from his bed; he walked to the bathroom and washed his face. He looked at his face in the mirror, water droplets fell from his face, he looked refreshing but something was missing. He frowned then his mind decided to replay what just happened the night before. It was too vivid that he couldn’t believe his own body. He still was hearing his voice, feeling his warm skin, inhaling his scent, seeing his ecstasy, and tasting his lips as if every of his senses are only recognize the taste of Jonghyun.
“Damn! I can’t think about it now, the exhibition is soon.”
---
It was only two weeks left before the exhibition. Minho had tried to contact Jonghyun several times. But never once he reached him.
“I’m sorry, but he asked to answer every phone call,” Onew answered as he looked at the pouting model sitting across him.
“Why can’t he answer it?” Minho demanded
“Ugh, he’s tired after some photo shots today,” Onew lied; it was only one photo shot and Jonghyun definitely not tired.
“He took another job? Didn’t I say that he should only concentrate with mind until it finished, did I?”
“Yes, you did. That’s why he said that his part is done.”
“Just hang up already,” Jonghyun mouthed to Onew.
“Just let me talk to him already.”
With this Onew decided to put the conversation to the balcony away from the glaring model.
“Please Sir. I didn’t know what happen, but he never acts like this before and I’m really sorry for whatever he did,” Onew bowed his head.
“It’s not your fault, is just that… I want every people that in the project involve with the whole process. And please make sure that he will come for the exhibition.”
“I understand Sir, don’t worry,” Onew once again bowed his head.
“Okay then. Bye.”
Clicked.
Onew went back to the living room where Jonghyun still pouting over nothing.
“Tell me what happened,” Onew started the conversation.
“Nothing, just some arrogant alien frog took my photos while planning how to take over the world by impregnating every human species.”
“What’s wrong with you? The whole week I should make up some excuses when Minho is looking for you.”
Onew took a seat across Jonghyun.
“I did my part as his model, whatever he wants to do with the photo is not my business.”
“But he wants everyone to involve in the process, and it only a week before the exhibition, I don’t want to see your photos looks like it was taken half asses. Oh my God if this fails my career might be in danger,” Onew made an exaggerating move his hand.
Jonghyun chuckled. “Your career is safe Hyung. You agreed to his proposal because you know Minho only do the best, you even rejected every invitation for casting because you believe just this exhibition will boost up my career. That is why I agreed to do it,” Jonghyun stared right to Onew’s eyes.
“But I might be wrong, what if he decided not to put your pictures in his exhibition. What if he…,”
The model rose up from his seat and walked up to his manager and stopped in front of him. Jonghyun encircled his hands around Onew’s neck and rest his cheek to his manager head.
“I believe in your judgment. If you said he’s good then it’s only the truth,” Jonghyun said in calming voice.
Onew reciprocate by encircled his hands around the model’s waist and took a long breath before he exhaled.
“But,” Jonghyun continued, “…it could be the end of my career if he decided not to put my photos and tell the press that I’m an unprofessional model who has no responsibility and actually has no talent at all,” Jonghyun said with fake worry.
“No no!! You’re professional and have great talent; I know that, because I scouted you,” Onew looked up to his model and saw him smiling.
“Well, but you sure did give me a lot of headache,” he continued.
“But still you love me so much.” Onew knew he couldn’t win over the smiling face.
“I guess I’m going to have a white hair sooner than I expected.”
“You will still look handsome Hyung.”
“You will come to the exhibition right?”
“I will Hyung. Even if it turns out to be my down fall, then so be it.”
Onew could feel that there was something behind Jonghyun’s words. Onew tighten his hold around Jonghyun as if to prevent him to break into pieces.
---
You’re standing on a cliff. Fragile and vulnerable. Falling or not, just little forces then you’re nothing but a grain of sands.
---
They met again at the exhibition, just a greeting, mostly by Onew as he kept bowing to Minho, but they didn’t even talk to each other’s the whole day. Minho was too busy receiving congratulation from his important guests, and Jonghyun was busy answering the questions from the reporters.
“Jonghyun-sshi what do you think about the exhibition?”
“As you guys can see, it’s great and awesome, just as expected from Choi Minho.” He answered with smile.
“Did you see you photos already Jonghyun-shhi?”
“No, why?”
“It seems your photos had the most attention from people that coming here.”
“Oh really? I don’t know about that.”
“Yeah, we heard people said that your photos have the most feeling in it.”
“Haha, thank you I’m honored to hear that, but that’s not true. All of his pieces is the work of art, maybe it’s just those people found my face so appealing,” Jonghyun joked a bit and with that he excused himself leaving the reporters to enter the venue.
He looked for Onew and he wanted to show him how annoyed he was when Onew left him to handle those reporters all by himself.
“Hyu…,”
He found Onew talking with some foreigner. Jonghyun decided not to intrude him, because it looked like a serious conversation and he didn’t want to screw it up. When he turned his heel, Onew called him to join his conversation.
“Sir, this is Jonghyun,” Onew said to the foreigner.
The stranger smiled and reached out his hand offering a hand shake. Jonghyun was hesitating then he heard Key in his head.
‘I think you don’t really need a plan, just let everything happen on a whim’
---
When the exhibition over, Minho stayed at the venue. He walked around as he enjoying his own pieces, and then he entered to the section where Jonghyun’s photos were hanging. He saw someone already there before him and he didn’t need anyone to tell him who that person was.
Jonghyun turned his body so Minho could see his face. “Hello.”
Minho was taken aback by the view in front of him; Jonghyun was standing on front of the photo which his back was showing with a big painting as the background. Despite the lack of light, Minho could still see the face that illuminates by the small spotlight that shines over the photo.
‘He’s so beautiful,’ Minho kept the words for him. He won’t lose to himself.
“Congratulation on your exhibition Minho-sshi,” Jonghyun broke the silent between them.
‘Ah…so it’s Minho-sshi again.’
“Thanks to you, you did a great work.”
Jonghyun was a bit shocked. “Whoaa…I couldn’t believe my ears, you actually and thanking me at the same time. Took you long enough to say those though,” Jonghyun chuckled. “Reporters said to me that your photos got so many compliments.”
“Yeah, mostly the ones with you in it,” Minho answered with his straight face.
“I heard that you gain so many offering from big company, they sure love your photos.”
“Well, you too right.”
“That was expected though,” Jonghyun said it high and mighty.
“I can’t believe they ask for a spoiled brat like you. I pity your manager; he might get a white hair sooner before he knows it.”
“Just leave his hair alone!” Jonghyun glared at Minho.
Then they went silent and it was too much to bear.
“But maybe I should thank you to advertise me like this. I’m honored,” Jonghyun started.
“…” Minho kept his mouth shut.
Jonghyun acted as if the memory of the previous night was never existed, and Minho did not like it. It hurt his pride, because he never one to ask to get laid with someone, because boys and girls just throw them self at him. And it was him who decided the time and place, not the other way around. But Jonghyun was different and he was addicted to him. But he won’t beg.
‘Was it planned?’ Minho thought.
What Minho knew is Jonghyun never meant anything that happened to him right now, but that was only what Minho wanted to believe. He kept his eyes bore to Jonghyun.
This is what he wanted right? No string attached just professionalism. But why he felt anger aroused inside him.
“You looking at me way too fierce Minho-sshi,” Jonghyun said seductively -at least that’s how Minho heard it- as he walked past Minho.
Minho turned around to looked at Jonghyun, he wanted to reach out his hand to touch Jonghyun, but something kept him stoned, so he asked him instead.
“Does that night mean nothing to you?” Minho waited for Jonghyun’s answer, for the last time -maybe-.
It was so unlike him.
Jonghyun halt his step when he heard the question. He turned around to see Minho, he demanded an answer, but Jonghyun only had his angelic smile on his face.
Jonghyun left him, Minho’s face fell.
---
Once he outside Jonghyun was greeted by a voice. “You really made him down before you.”
Jonghyun turned his head to see the owner of the voice even though he knew the voice perfectly.
“Well thanks to you, Key.”
“I barely did anything, but it seems you’re not really happy with this, Jjong,” Key offered him his smile.
“Eavesdropping is not good you know.”
“Hmnn, it was both of you were way too loud.”
“Hahaha. Maybe we were. But I got what I want.”
“I heard it you know.”
“About what?”
“The proposal for you.”
Jonhgyun’s face fell a bit, “Wow, the reporters sure fast.”
“Your manager told me.”
“Onew told you?”
“So, are you gonna take it?”
Jonghyun just answer Key’s question with his smile.
“Arrgghhhh…I hate it when you smile,” Key walked to Jonghyun and hugged him, “It was great to working with you Jjong. ”
“Me too,” Jonghyun hugged back.
“One question before you go, I’ve been meaning to ask you this for quite sometimes.”
“Just ask, Key.”
“Are you in any chance falling in love with him?”
That was a dumb question. Key searched for his answer on Jonghyun’s face since the smaller men didn’t voice his answer.
‘Poor Minho,’ he thought. “Well, take care of yourself. And tell your manager Key saying ‘Hi!’” Key
---
Minho hated it so much, how he let his emotion showed in front of Jonghyun, and how Jonghyun made him feel. ‘Why did I feel like he’s only toying with me, why couldn’t I escape from him,’ Minho didn’t want to know the answer.
Minho just stayed there, unmoving, and it took an hour for Key to convince him to go home.

Just like an arrange domino pieces. When one should fall, it will followed by another. Just like a piece of white paper. Once tainted, the stain will remain. The point of no return is where you stand.
