The Untitled One-Shots of Shinee and You (4/?)
“Ughh…”
He hid his face within the palm of his hands and groaned. You chuckled inward, sitting with your back against the seat. It was Chuseok week, and you finally- finally had time to see him again. And of course, the rest of the Shinee boys, but they were busy with their own vacation rest. Today, it was all about you and Jonghyun.
“I can’t believe you saw me dance and sing to that song on TV.”
You snickered and looked out the window to see the morning view. “How could I not? I even recorded it.”
“You what?!” He groaned again.
You two were sitting down at a family-oriented restaurant. It was in your hometown, and he decided to visit you and your family for the festive week. It was a Monday morning, and hardly anyone was out. Either they were staying in and sleeping or out of town. You lived in the rural area, so not much people know about Shinee because the whole town is full of older couples. He was happy that he could finally relax without having people knowing who he is or drawing attention.
Recently, he is able to be himself around you. When you two were together before, it was either with one of the other boys, or their manager (though, he respected your privacy) and you can feel that Jonghyun wasn’t being himself. He always acted so courteous and humble. You were kind of tired of his act. You figured that he didn’t know how to treat you; his fan or his girlfriend. One day, you were talking to Key about your problems with Jonghyun and the relationship. Key just said flatly that you had to be assertive and tell Jonghyun what you want and don’t want. Which is true, because Jonghyun can’t seem to decide what he should eat for dinner when he’s given a choice (Key seems to make his decision).
From Key’s teachings, you sat down with Jonghyun one day and told him straight up that you were going to be the “man” of the relationship. And the look that Jonghyun gave you was unforgettable. You remember him getting up from his seat, accusing you for being crazy, and saying that he will not allow himself to be a “woman” in the relationship. You told him it was his loss because he’s not being assertive and you named things of your “list” of complaints.
You remembered that you both didn’t talk to each other for weeks.
“So,” you began, looking back at Jonghyun. “Did you and Minho lose a bet?”
He picked up his fork and jabbed it right into his French waffle. “No. Key was supposed to do it, but he backed out last minute to do a different show.”
“Nan molla, nan molla cheonbeon-” You sang while doing the infamous hand motion dance. Jonghyun quickly snatched you hand and hissed “Stop it!” You saw his cheeks flush pink and he took a large bite from his food.
“Oh come on, Jonghyun. You know you enjoyed it.” You teased.
“Only for the sake of TV entertainment. So tell that to Minho.”
“It’s okay to let out your feminine side once in awhile.” You said as you cut into your pancake covered in syrup. You looked up and saw Jonghyun glaring at you.
So after those dreadful weeks of not speaking or seeing (in person) Jonghyun, you finally gave up the stubborn act and called him. You can hear the eagerness in his voice when he heard you say hello. You gasped quietly. When did his voice get so smooth? You felt your heart beat faster. This isn’t the boy you heard before. What happened to Jonghyun?
You remembered him saying he missed you and wanted to see you so much. Honestly, you felt the same way back then. And being in love, you did some foolish things for Jonghyun. For example, lie to your parents saying you’d stay at a friend’s house, when you actually stay out all night with Jonghyun. Or skip the last few hours of school to go see Jonghyun at Music Bank. And that time when you gave him your first kiss with a clamorous smack because he looked amazing handsome that day.
After that phone call, you remembered you met Jonghyun half-way. Your eyes bulged at how different he looked. He had a define body. He looked like…a man. It was awkward for both of you. You remember him hugging you tightly with his strong arms, whispering how beautiful you’ve become since the last time he saw you.
A few weeks of absence made our hearts for each other grow fonder.
“I have to admit it, it looked so wrong of you and Minho to sing that song.” You confessed. You still got chills just replaying it in your head. It was way too cute and unmanly-like for Jonghyun to do that kind of stuff. You both still sat in the restaurant, drinking coffee and relaxing. Jonghyun cupped his drink with both hands, eyes staring at it.
He sighed. “I wanted to show a cooler side of me to you.”
You can hear the sincerity in his voice. You couldn’t help but smile for him. You rested your chin in your hands. “But you were cool, Jonghyun.” You admitted. Jonghyun lifted his head and stared at you as if you were crazy. Yeah, you were crazy.
Crazy for him, that is.
“How so?” he asked, looking for an explanation.
“Sacrificing yourself to look like an idiot for the sake of TV, I think that’s pretty manly of you do that.”
After he embraced you from that time, he told you he wanted change. He wanted you to look at him as a man properly. He no longer wanted you to be the “man” in the relationship. You retorted that he can’t handle it because you weren’t fully convinced of Jonghyun’s proposition just from the change of his appearance. You vaguely remember him saying “I’m a man whether you like it or not.” And he kissed you with force. But the feeling and emotion he put in it was so gentle, you felt your heart in your chest burst hotly and soon die out into nothing, leaving you with a heavy pool of emotions at the pit of your stomach. After that meeting, you never looked at Jonghyun the same.
You both exited the restaurant, hand-in-hand. It was a quiet morning and you two walked slowly in silence while enjoying the view of the sleepy town. You looked over to Jonghyun, who didn’t seem to notice you staring at him. His head was down, looking at the ground as you both walked. You glanced at your hand being held by Jonghyun’s. It was warm, protective, and comfortable; like a man should be. You grinned like an idiot and gripped his hand. Jonghyun noticed it and looked at his hand then you.
“Hnn.” He made a noise as he smiled at you sweetly.
“What are you all smiley about?” You asked.
“You.” He said with a low voice. You felt your cheeks flush red.
“Bukkeu bukkeu bukkeureopge ttureo jyeora chyeoda bomyeon…” Jonghyun sang softly. You looked into his brown eyes.
“eotteokae, eotteokae…” You sang along.
“Kiss me.” He whispered closely, ghosting over your lips. You were surprised by his words as the morning sun shown behind his shoulders, blinding you for a moment. The scene you saw was beautiful. He was beautiful. With your hand still in his, Jonghyun pulled you towards him, his lips meeting yours tenderly. You felt his arm wrap around your back and you grazed your hand on his cheek, deepening the kiss. After your intimate moment, you tried your best to pull away. He leaned his forehead against yours, taking in the moment. You whispered “I love you” quietly and kissed him once more. He smiled against your kiss.
“I’m supposed to say that.” He said.
You rolled your eyes and pulled him towards the way home. “Whatever.”
You couldn’t help but be the “man” one last time.
Who should be next...? And does anybody want a spot for the next one?
