K.I.S.S; Minho/Key
"Keep it simple, stupid" is what leads to SHINee playing Truth or Dare.
"KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" ... The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided." - Wikipedia
Author's Note: an anon on tumblr asked "Is it okay if the prompt's taken from this? MinKey juseyo.. Thank you!". To save you the hassle, here's the prompt! Imagine your OTP playing truth or dare with their friends. Person A is told to kiss their crush and it’s Person B. Person A is already aware that Person B had a crush on them in the first place from hearing the rumors. So it was a nice surprise for Person B to find out they felt the same way! Thank you for giving this story a read and i hope you end up smiling like this ｡◕‿◕｡ !
It felt absolutely ridiculous for five grown men to be sitting in a circle on the floor of their living room in their dorm, playing a game of Truth or Dare on a random night but it had come to the point where four out of the five guys had no better ideas up their sleeves. And so, they, aka SHINee, eventually decided to keep it simple and settle on the classic game.
You see, the thing was, two of their members, who went by the name of Choi Minho and Kim Kibum, had been dancing around each other for a tad too long that the rest of the members couldn't stand their ambiguous relationship any longer. Onew, Jonghyun and Taemin knew they had to do something about the situation before the sexual tension (or to put it in a nicer term, romantic attraction) between the 91-line could suffocate them all. Yet the three of them realised that their plans would all fail if they didn’t have one of the involved parties inside.
And so, knowing that it was easier to rope Minho in than Kibum, Onew, Jonghyun and Taemin approached the rapper instead. It wasn't the first time they were teaming up against Kibum anyway. True enough, the four of them soon found themselves racking their brains for a brilliant plan to bring them both together… except it didn’t end up as brilliant as it could be since all four of them eventually decided to do away with any elaborate plans and agreed to keep it simple. They were, after all, very busy people.
So here they were now, finally getting to Minho’s turn after Jonghyun had admitted that the one celebrity he wanted to make out with was Girl's Day's Yura, while Onew (who had to call Lee Joon and tell him he was sexy) and Taemin (who had to text Naeun and say she needed to lose weight) had both completed their dares. They probably should have just made things easier by starting the damn game with Minho but at least now, they had successfully built up the atmosphere to ensure that their plan was going to be a success. And finally, it was time for the game to officially begin…
“Truth or dare, Minho?” Onew asked, ignoring his phone that had been buzzing non-stop most probably because Joon was spamming him with questions.
“Dare.” Minho said casually, returning his focus to the game while hiding his amusement over the maknae who was too engrossed with his phone, obviously trying to explain himself to Naeun.
“I dare you to...” Jonghyun pretended to ponder for a moment as he pointed his index finger towards the remaining members, moving it back and forth in front of their faces, before stopping to point at a bored Kibum, “Kiss him.”
Kibum's jaw dropped and he completely lost the ability to speak while Onew and Taemin, acting excited, made the appropriate sounds of oohs, ahhs, wolf whistles and what nots.
“Alright.” Minho agreed with a shrug as if it was no big deal but inside, there were still one or two butterflies in his stomach even though he knew this was going to happen.
Kibum widened his eyes. “Why me, Kim Jonghyun?!”
Jonghyun shrugged, “It has to be you.”
Before Kibum had the chance to question Jonghyun, Minho smoothly interrupted so things would go as planned.
“Close your eyes, Kibum.” Minho said in a voice so calm, acting as indifferent as he could, “I can't kiss you like that.”
Kibum snapped his head towards the rapper, “Choi Minho, don't you dare-”
“I dare.”
And as Minho got onto his knees and closed the distance between them, Kibum found himself naturally closing his eyes. The next thing he knew, a soft warm pair of lips was pressed firmly against his own. Minho kissed Kibum once before he pulled away just a little because of the beat his heart skipped; and so, when Kibum thought that that was it and was all ready to open his eyes, Minho surprised him by kissing him again. And it didn’t stop after because Minho just kept planting kiss after kiss on his lips until Kibum ended up surrendering and finally returned the kiss.
When they finally broke apart to catch their breaths after what was obviously a moment too long, Kibum was in a daze while Minho just couldn’t stop himself from smiling at his adorable chingu, wondering why on earth it took him this long to finally do what he had always been dreaming about.
As his vision slowly focused on the smiling guy in front of him, Kibum snapped out of his trance and quickly pushed Minho aside, not knowing how to face the rest of the members. However, as he looked around, he realised that they were the only ones left in the living room.
“Where-” His voice had cracked and an embarrassed Kibum coughed and cleared his throat before he started again, “Where did those idiots go?”
“Nah, they're not idiots since they knew how to leave us alone.” Minho said, smile still plastered on his face.
“It's your fault...” Kibum muttered as he looked everywhere except at Minho, “You didn't have to kiss me for so long. Just kissing me once was enough to complete the dare. Why did you... Damn it, Choi Minho, if this is you being competitive again...”
“You kissed me back.” Minho simply pointed out.
“Because I was being polite!” Kibum said the first thing that had come into his mind, “I... I was helping you with your dare!”
“Really Kibum?”
“Yeah! Really.”
“You still don't get it, do you?”
“No, I completely understand that you wanted to win the dare-”
Minho decided that he didn't want to hear any more of Key's stupidity and so he moved forward once again to silence the blonde with yet another kiss.
“Why'd you do that?” Kibum pushed Minho away with a frown, “No one's watching us anymore.”
“Exactly.” Minho replied before he suggested with a shrug, “We can still continue playing though. It’s your turn Kibum, pick dare.”
Kibum didn't know why, perhaps he still hadn’t recovered from the kiss, but he found himself following Minho's instructions.
“Dare.”
“I dare you to tell me you like me.”
“That sounds more like a truth to me.”
Minho’s eyes lit up with anticipation, “So you admit you like me?”
“What?! No! I-” Kibum was flabbergasted.
“It's okay. It's my turn, I pick Truth.”
Kibum frowned, “Okay... Let me think-”
“You don't have to, I'll admit something to you.”
“But it's up to me to deci-”
“I like you too Kibum.” Minho breathed out and held Kibum by his shoulders, forcing the blonde to look at him, “Do you get it now?”
Kibum was silent for a moment, using the time to soak in all that had happened for the past 15 minutes of his life, and as he thought about it, a smile grew on his face. As Minho watched the change in Kibum’s expression from one of confusion to realisation, Minho knew the blonde had finally realised that their feelings were mutual. And so, Minho took it as a green light to lean forward once more so he could get a taste of the pair of lips he most definitely was going to get unhealthily addicted to. Yet, this time round, he was stopped as he found himself falling on his butt as Kibum had pushed him away rather forcefully.
“Are you telling me that this is why we're playing truth or dare?!”
Even if Minho didn’t nod, Kibum would have known the answer to his own question.
Kibum groaned and looked up, “How the hell am I grouped with a bunch of idiots?!”
“You fell in love with one, Kibum.” Minho couldn’t help but point out.
“I ask myself why every single day...”
Minho laughed, “Don't worry, I'll remind you of the answer to that everyday... In fact, I'll start right now.”
And with a playful smirk, Minho pulled Kibum into his arms and gave his boyfriend (ooh, Minho liked the sound of that) a proper first kiss that he would never be able to forget.
