-KEY’s pov-
“Remind me why I am here again?”
“Because you love me?”
“Yeah right Lee Taemin.”
Okay, I have no idea why I gave in to Taemin in the end because now I ended up with a new stranger roommate invading my private space. I heaved in annoyance as I rest my arm on the barricade outside the arrival hall. All I know is the dude that is jumping off the plane anytime soon nicknamed himself bling bling, is short and looks like a dinosaur, according to Taemin that is.
-TAEMIN’s pov-
“Yeah right Lee Taemin.”
I grinned sheepishly at Key umma’s sarcasm as I go back to eyeing the arrival gate for any signs of my cousin. In fact, I am honestly really looking forward to Jonghyun hyung’s arrival now that I have settled the problem of his lodging. Besides his weird bling bling nickname, the fact that he is short and looks like a dinosaur, he is pretty hot, has a fun cheeky nature and used to pamper me a lot.
“Taemin!!” A shout caught back my attention and I don’t even need a glance to know that that is Jonghyun hyung with his high pitched unique voice.
-JONGHYUN’s pov-
I swung my backpack over my shoulders as I head out towards the arrival gate. I have sent the rest of my things by postage so they would arrive at my doorstep probably a few days later. I hummed lightly to a random tune popping up in my head as I scanned the awaiting crowd.
“Taemin!!”
I jogged over to my little cousin and pinched his cheeks. Aigoo this kid. It never fails to amuse me how his face will scrunched up in response. I let out a chuckle.
“Jonghyun hyung annyeong! Meet Key umma.”
I turned and widened my eyes at the sight. He is gorgeous, drop dead gorgeous, and that was still an understatement. His feline cat eyes became crescents as he offered me the most stunning eyesmile ever and his naturally pink kissable lips smothered in a shy smile as the sides curved and his sharp jaw line and high nose bridge perfectly completed his sculptured face. If it was not for his short locks that tucked neatly behind his pierced ears, I would have mistaken him for a girl, given Taemin’s term “umma”. A poke at my rib finally got me out of my trance at the captivating beauty before me as I took his offered hand and gave it a light squeeze.
“Hi, my name is Kibum, you can call me Key as you prefer, nice to meet you.”
“J-jonghyun, Kim Jonghyun, lets drop the formalities.”
And Taemin just have to spoil the moment for me by cutting in.
“Let’s go home now, I want to eat umma’s cooking.”
On our drive home, Kibum focused on the roads and did not utter a single word. But occasionally our eyes would meet through the mirrors and we would smile a little before Kibum awkwardly turn away. I casually chatted with Taemin, catching up about each others’ lives over the years we missed. As Taemin bargained with me about his secret of selling away his apartment, I secretly thanked him as I ended up with Kibum being my roommate. I no longer mind that I had to repeat a year since I studied overseas before because that means that I ended up in the same class as Kibum too since he was one year younger. I don’t even know what else got into me but I even agreed to Taemin’s request in joining the dance club because Kibum was part of it too. Everything about Kibum fascinates me and the growing urge to get to know him better was overwhelming me.
-KEY’s pov-
I wiped my clammy hands against my skinny jeans before I clutched onto the steering wheel and drive off. Somehow, ever since Jonghyun came into my life, it is as though I’m whisked away to lalaland by his presence. Those set of puppy eyes that gave off a genuine vibe, the charming loop sided smirk and I cannot help myself but to drool over his tanned arm muscles; how I would fit perfectly locked in his embrace… No Kim Kibum, what on earth are you imagining about?! He is probably as straight as a stick.
I shook the thoughts out of my head as I focused on driving instead. Occasionally I would catch myself peeking at Jonghyun through the rear mirror. He had a charismatic smile that reaches his eyes and light up his whole complexion. What is this jumpy feeling within me that got me wishing I had the same chemistry he shared with Taemin and the mini heart attacks I would get when he caught me stealing glances and grinned in response. I had known him less than an hour but he is already messing with my mind.
Kim Kibum, falling in love is out of the question, Jinki, Jinki trusted you to be committed. Get your senses back. All this new feelings are merely of curiosity in meeting a new friend.
Just a friend, nothing more, nothing less.
