Chapter Five - Drunk
The motorcycle came to a stop in front of a renowned fancy restaurant, Jonghyun took off his helmet and looked back at the figure still holding onto him. Key's arms tightly wrapped around Jonghyuns waist, not realizing until the older spoke out, "Key? You okay?"
"Y-yes! Sorry.." Key immedietley removed his arms and got off the bike, taking the helmet off and handing it to the older. "That was really exhilerating. I cant believe you drive this all the time." Key smiled, dimples and a blush creeping on his face. Jonghyun couldnt help but stare, he couldnt believe the curse made Key this beautiful. It was almost angelic-no, God-like beauty.
"It's nothing," Jonghyun chuckled, "I guess I'm just used to it. I'm glad you liked it though."
Jonghyun seemed to become more charming by the minute, and Key felt like his world was going to come crashing down on him whenever it felt like it. Whenever it felt like taking away his short and sweet temporary happiness. For now, the younger was just going to enjoy every minute.
Getting off the bike, Jonghyun locked away both helmets and stood next to Key, "Ready?" he smiled and placed a hand on the youngers lower back. Key nodded, blushing at the contact and allowing himself to be escorted into the restaurant.
It looked a bit too expensive and fancy for Jonghyun's taste. He was used to eating tteokbokki and drinking soju at dingy restaurants, not this. However, it was a gift from Jinki and he couldnt say no to taking Key out. Especially since it was Valentines Day, Key was too beautiful to spend the day alone. So Jonghyun felt like it was his duty to accompany his friend, feelings and attractions put aside for the night....or for now.
Once they reached the entrance, Jonghyun opened the door for Key, taking a moment to appreciate his 'date's' attire. The younger definitley knew how to dress, Jonghyun suddenly felt self-consious about the way he looked. He couldnt afford or find a great suit in such a short amount of time, the older hoped it didnt bother the younger too much. It was clear to Jonghyun that Key was used to the glamerous lifestyle, a lifestyle he didnt think he could keep up with.
"Under Key, please." The younger informed the restaurant staff, who immediatley recognized the person speaking to them.
"Yes sir, right this way. Mr. Lee informed us it was a special occasion! We made sure to prepare everything to your liking." One of the higher up staff members came up to lead them to their VIP seating. Key rolled his eyes, Jinki always made sure to go that extra mile for no reason. It wasnt even a date.
Jonghyun, however, was more concerned about the fact that they knew Key. And they called Jinki, Mr. Lee. How rich was this family?
"This will be your private booth for the night. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable, Mr. Kim." The staff member gestured his arm to the booth, bowing then leaving behind the baffled 'couple'.
"I'm so sorry Jong, it seems like Jinki went out of his way to embaress me tonight." Key said shyly, head down as he slowly sat down.
"Thats alright bum, it's nothing to be embaressed about. This place looks amazing," Jonghyun smiled at the younger as he followed to sit next to him, "do you come here often?"
"Not often....just whenever we need privacy.."
"We?" Jonghyun asked, more concerned about the 'we' part.
"The guys and I. Taemin, Minho and Jinki."
Jonghyun nodded, unknowlingly sighing in relief at the answer. "But why the privacy?"
The younger looked to the side, avoiding eye contact, almost embaressed at the reason. "Is it your curse?" Key looked back at the older, eyes piercing his, studying him. Why did Jonghyun care so much? The younger nodded in defeat, not able to really explain the feelings he was having in his stomach. Maybe it was the anxiety eating at him from being here with the older.
"People like to stare. Look at me like im just a piece of flesh for them to undress with their eyes. Sometimes its not just that though." Key didnt know why he was telling Jonghyun all of this, but he felt as though the older made him feel comfortable-at ease. Jonghyun continued to listen, wanting to hear the younger speak, he felt the need to know everything and anything about Key.
"I get a lot of stalkers, people who will risk anything to lay a hand on me. It doesnt happen as much anymore...but...I still didnt want to risk it. I didnt want my kiss to be taken away from me by force, I think i've just been a bit scared..." The younger looked down in defeat, hands in his lap fidgeting in anxiety.
"I'm sorry."
Key looked up in shock at the older, confused at what the older meant. "It's not your fau-"
"But it is. The one thing you never wanted to happen, happened. Because of me." Jonghyun interrupted, knowing that he was at fault, at least partly.
The younger sighed, smiling at the older's ridiculous words, he didnt realize Jonghyun was feeling this way. "Stop, dont be silly.....I...I'm glad it was you..and no one else..." Words slowly coming out in a whisper, yet the older didnt miss anything Key said, a smile slowly started to creep his face.
"Really?"
"H-huh?"
"Do you mean it?"
"-and here we have the finest wine for you both." A waiter came out of nowhere and started pouring wine into their glasses. Relief washed all over Key's body as the waiter interrupted them.
"Thank you so much." Key smiled at the waiter, too friendly in Jonghyuns opinion. The younger didnt need to show those dimples to anyone but him, annoyed, Jonghyun still smiled at the waiter politely.
"Mr. Lee has ordered the Valentines Day special for you. It's made especially for our couples who are in love, its the perfect dinner that will make you fall even deeper with one another. Does that sound alright for you both?" Okay, Jonghyun is starting to like this guy.
"We'll have that." Jonghyun said, not bothering to correct the waiter of their 'status'.
Key looked at Jonghyun with wide eyes, "J-jong.."
"We will bring that right over Mr. Kim." The waiter gestured at Jonghyun and bowed, leaving the 'couple' alone once again.
"Wow, he knew my last name!" Jonghyun said, shocked at how fancy this place truly was. Key laughed, forgetting about what the waiter said. The older was adorable.
"Where do you usually go to eat?" Key was actually curious, maybe Jonghyun can take him someday, he hoped.
"Nothing compared to his honestly, but I usually go to this one little restaurant. It's owned by a sweet little old lady, not a lot of people go there but...she makes the best food ever." Jonghyun smiled fondly, "I'll take you, whenever you want."
Key nodded happily, "Okay. I cant wait!" He picked up his wine glass and gestured to the older, "Cheers?"
"Cheers." Jonghyun smiled, picking up his glass and clinking it with Key's, taking a swig of the wine, Jonghyun grimaced at the bitter taste.
"Dont like it?" Key chuckled at the olders reaction.
"I'm not usually a wine drinker, more of a soju guy actually..." Jonghyun said in embaressment.
"I've never had soju before.."
"No way!" Jonghyun looked at Key in shock, clearly the younger only consumes expensive drinks. Key couldnt help but nod shyly at the olders reaction. "Let's go right after this!"
"What? Really!?"
"Yeah of course, i-it's not much though. Not compared to this..." Jonghyun suddenly concerned. He didnt want to bring Key somewhere that he wouldnt like, especially if it wasnt to the youngers taste.
"Even better!" Key said excitedly, biggest smile on his face with Jonghyuns favourite dimples showing.
If Key was a girl, Jonghyun wouldve made him his already but......Key wasnt a girl and Jonghyun wasnt gay. Right? This was the constant conflict going on in the olders head. Kissing Key everyday, didnt help either.
"What do you do after school? Do you have any hobbies?" Key asked, he genuinly wanted to know about the older. He felt like he's only ever seen him at school and that was it. This was their first time actually hanging out after their classes were over.
Jonghyun smiled, "I actually play the piano...and sing..a bit"
"Oh wow, I'd love to hear you sometime." Key blushed, smiling at the new information. How could the older become even more attractive than he already was.
Jonghyun scratched the back of his neck shyly, "Its not much...."
"Why are you in studying business if your passion is music?" Key asked, confused at the olders choice of degree.
Jonghyun looked at Key, the younger seemed really interested in his life. He wasnt sure if sharing too much would scare Key away or not, his life was filled with crime, drugs, sex and money. Something that is the complete opposite of Key's innocent and luxurious lifestyle, he decided to not share too much. At least for now.
"My family didnt believe playing piano or singing was a real dream or career per se. We didnt come from much so my dad had to work really hard to provide for our family. Unfortunately my father passed away and now I need to take his place, for my mother and older sisters sake." Jonghyun tried to explain, without giving away too much. Its not like he didnt trust Key, he just didnt want to lose him. As a friend, that is....
"I-I'm sorry Jonghyun. I didnt mean to make you bring that up..." Key said, noticing the way the older was avoiding the subject.
Jonghyun smiled affectionately, "That's alright bummie, I wanted to tell you. What about you? Do you have any hobbies?" Taking another swig of wine, despite the bitterness.
The younger smiled shyly, happy that Jonghyun trusted him enough. "Hmmm....I really like to dance and listen to music. I love fashion too, mainly the reason why im taking fashion design right now." Key said happily, it felt so easy to talk to Jonghyun. He felt as if he would never judge him.
"I can tell. You dress yourself really well Key, im glad you're following your dreams." Jonghyun smiled gently, he couldnt help but compliment the younger.
This made Key feel sad, "Yeah but....I wish you were too...." he wanted Jonghyun to do something he loved, not to feel obligated to do what everyone else was doing. For the sake of money, Key would give his whole life savings to the older if it meant his comfort and happiness. Key would give everything to pay Jonghyun back for the life he's breathing right now. He had more than enough money, he just needed to convince his parents to help and he didnt think it would be that hard. Especially if it was for the man who saved their sons life.
"That's okay Key, sometimes we cant all have what we want. I've made a lot of sacrifices in my life, this wont be the first." Jonghyun looked away, noticing the waiter coming with the food.
".......am I a sacrifice?" Key didnt know where that came from, he thinks the wine was starting to do its wonders on him. Jonghyun just looked at him eyes wide, not expecting Key to say that.
"And here we are, Valentines Day special for the beautiful couple. Enjoy!" The waiter interrupted once again, placing down one plate of the finest steak, along with a plate of scallops and caviar to share. No wonder, it was a 'couples special' for a reason, it was all made to share so it was more intimate. The waiter left after a few 'thank you's' and allowed the 'couple' to enjoy their dinner.
Jonghyun and Key looked shyly at one another, both waiting for the other to make a move. "Here let me cut it." Jonghyun moved the steak in front of him and started cutting it for Key, true gentleman style. Key smiled.
"Thanks Jong."
"Anytime." Jonghyun smiled back at the younger. Finishing with his task, he moved the plate back in between them, and placed a piece in front of Keys mouth to feed him the first bite. Without thinking, the younger instantly opened his mouth and ate the steak, humming in satisfaction. Unaware of the hungry gaze Jonghyun had on his lips, either he wanted some of that steak or something else entirely. However, Key was too busy eating to notice.
By the time they finished eating, Jonghyun started to grow anxious. He didnt really think about how much the bill was going to cost, despite being prepared to empty his wallet tonight, he truly didnt think he had enough to pay for the full meal. So when the waiter came by with the bill, it was tucked away in a black book, never to be seen by Jonghyun, ever.
"I hope the both of you have enjoyed your meal tonight, we are always pleased to serve you Mr. and Mr. Kim." The waiter smiled and bowed to them.
"It was delicious, thank you Donghae." Key smiled back at the waiter.
Jonghyun, however, wasnt too pleased that Key knew the waiters name, but its must be because he comes here often. The older concluded in his head and smiled, "It was really good, thank you. What about the bill?" Jonghyun was almost too scared to ask, anxiously waiting for the bomb to be dropped on him.
"Ah, yes. My apologies Mr. Kim. I forget to mention Mr. Lee has taken care of your meal tonight. He told us to let the both of you know that it was his gift for the both of you."
Jonghyun's eyes widened in shock. Jinki paid for everything already? Wow. He was happy he saved his wallet but sad he couldnt really pay for Key, he felt embaressed.
"Are we still getting soju?" Key asked excitedly.
Jonghyun smiled at Key's cuteness, despite everything, the younger still wanted to get soju with him. "Yeah, lets go!" He took Key's hand and led them out of the restaurant. It was still light out as the sun was slowly setting, the skies covered in orange and pink hues, making the streets glow.
"Its so beautiful." Key breathed out, admiring the sky.
"Very."
Key turned to look at Jonghyun, who in return was watching him. The younger blushed, the way the older looked at him was ethereal. Key couldnt help but keep looking into those big brown eyes that were calling to him. Making him feel lost.
"-excuse me."
Jonghyun and Key turned looking to their side, another couple was standing there waiting to enter the restaurant. They didnt realize they were blocking the door, so they immediately moved aside for them to enter, apologizing along the way.
They both chuckled, embaressed at what just happened. "Shall we?" Jonghyun gestured to the motorcycle.
"Let's." Key smiled and followed the older to the vehicle. Excited at getting to have soju for the first time with Jonghyun, Key couldnt help but giggle to himself.
Key decided that riding behind Jonghyun on his motorcycle, was his most favourite thing ever. The younger hadnt felt this happy in a long time. The warm feeling of Jonghyuns hard back against his chest, as he held on tightly, it made him feel ethereal. It made him feel as though he can die happy knowing he experienced what true love was like, what it truly meant when they say your heart beats faster than normal, or when your pupils dilate whenever you see them. He felt it all with Jonghyun.
"Were here!"
The younger felt the motorcycle stop as he looked around at where they were. He saw a small shop with a few tables inside, it didnt seem like it could fit many customers. Key removed himself from the bike and gave his helmet to Jonghyun, watching him lock it away along with his own.
"Its really pretty here." Key admired the area, a beach sat in front of the little shop, along with a few other shops for the locals in the neighbourhood. It seemed nice and quiet, but you can hear kids laughing from the beach and a few people walking along the boardwalk. The small restaurant however, seemed almost empty. Only a couple of friends sitting inside enjoying a meal.
"Yeah, I come here whenever I need to take my mind off things. Not many people come here, its a quiet neighbourhood." Jonghyun explained, as he watched Key look around.
"Thanks for bringing me here. I love it." Key smiled, he was happy Jonghyun brought him to a place he always escaped to. It felt personal, and he appreciated it.
The older couldnt help but blush at Key's words. Jonghyun didnt know why he always felt nervous around the younger, he always thought it could be because he was way too intimidating and beautiful, or it could be because he wanted to impress him as a friend. He was leaning more towards the first one if he was going to be completely honest with himself. "Let's go inside." Jonghyun took Keys hand in his and led them into the small restaurant, all the while, Key's face was scarlet red from all the touching.
"Jonghyun-ah!" An older looking lady came out from behind the counter near the kitchen, excitedly walking towards them. "You havent been here in a while!"
Key looked at Jonghyun confused, he hasnt been here in a while? Why? The younger had so many questions.
"I'm sorry, I just started university recently, I havent had the chance honestly." Jonghyun smiled apologetically at the older lady. Was that the only reason why? Key thought.
"And who is this? Your new boyfriend?" She smiled happily, hoping to hear some good news.
"N-n-no...we're-f-friends! This is my f-friend, Kibum." Jonghyun didnt know why he was stuttering so much. Maybe cause the word 'boyfriend' kept getting thrown around that day, if not literally then objectively.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Key smiled, bowing to the older lady in respect. Jonghyuns stuttering act not going unnoticed by Key and the older woman.
"You are so beautiful Kibum. Jonghyun is a lucky man, I see." The older lady chuckled, making both Key and Jonghyun turn red.
"We were just hoping to get a drink or two, and maybe some tteokbokki if thats okay." Jonghyun hurriedly tried to change the subject, embaressed at the situation.
"Oh yes! Come on in, sit anywhere you like. Let me go grab you some soju first and i'll bring out the tteokbokki." The old lady gestured for them to sit and walked away to the kitchen to grab everything.
"Come." Jonghyun whispered to Key, leading him to a table facing the large window leading to the beach outside. "This is my usual spot." The older laughed, mostly at himself for being ocd about a seat.
"It's perfect. I'm excited to try soju for the first time!" Key said as he sat down infront of the older man.
"Alright boys, enjoy!" The old lady dropped off the soju and the tteokbokki, making sure they had two shot glasses along with them.
They both bowed and thanked the older lady. Jonghyun opened the bottle and poured soju into both glasses, filling them to the brim.
Key eyed the shot glass, this looked dangerous. He got drunk incredibly fast, you could say he was a light weight. The fact that he drank wine and now this, he'll be mixing drinks at this point. He didnt think to tell Jonghyun because he didnt think he'd actually drink this much, but....what can go wrong right? He trusted Jonghyun and he truly wanted to have fun.
"Ready?" Jonghyun took his shot glass in his hand and faced it towards Key.
"Ready." Key chuckled and held his shot glass to cheers it with Jonghyun. "Cheers!" They both said and downed each shot.
It was now dark outside and it seemed like everyone has gone home. Except for Jonghyun and Key. One shot turned into two, which turned into three, and then turned to four, then turned to five and so on. Shot after shot was taken as Key and Jonghyun were having the time of their lives, laughing, talking and lets not forget, flirting. As each minute passed by, the tension and the heat between them rose quickly. Key was defintely drunk at this point.
"Jooooong..." Key mumbled, his head being supported by one of his arms and the other hand on the table holding an empty shot glass.
"Bummieee.." Jonghyun replied, also feeling a bit drunk and in a daze. Not as bad as the younger though, he now learned Key couldnt handle his alcohol. He chuckled absentmindedly, one of his hands mimicing Key, holding his own head as the other hand laid on Keys thigh.
Their faces were so close to one another, they didnt know how or when they moved but they did.
"W-will you...-hicc-...l-leave me when you...-hicc-...f-find a girl to fall in love with?" Key hiccuped in between each pause, his eyes barely staying open but his mind on full over drive.
"W-wh-what?"
"I said, will you -hicc- leave me for -hicc- another gwur-mmphh!" Key was shut up by Jonghyuns lips on his. They kissed deeply, passionately, as though no one else was around them.
Which was true, the restaurant was empty now and the old lady was knowingly hiding in the back, making sure they had all the privacy they needed. She chuckled at the lovebirds. Jonghyun has never brought anyone to the restaurant with him, he's never even introduced anyone to her either. The older boy always had a secret life he lived, yet she was happy he finally found someone to share it with.
Key couldnt help but moan into the kiss as one of Jonghyuns hands was caressing his cheek and the other still on his thigh. Their lips devouring one another, the soju giving them an excuse to taste one anothers lips once again. Jonghyun wished he could kiss Key more than once a day, he wished he could kiss him every second of everyday. He wanted to make Key his, no, he needed to make Key his.
The kiss started to slow down, as they took time to feel one anothers lips, to taste eachother before it all ends and comes crashing down on them.
"I would never leave you." Jonghyun whispered against Keys lips, his mind still spinning in circles, finding comfort in Keys touch.
"Wont you be tired of kissing me everyday?" Key whispered back, drunk thoughts coming out verbally.
"I should be asking you that." Lips still grazing one another as they continued to give one another a kiss here and there. The alcohol giving them courage and freedom to do what they wished for the night.
"But I can only kiss you anyways."
"Do you want to kiss anyone else?"
"N-n-no!" Keys hooded eyes widened at the olders question, his lips now being taken on another deep and passionate journey. They loved kissing one another, they couldnt get enough. Jonghyun bit the bottom of Keys lip, tugged it and then let go, teasing Key a bit.
"Mmmm.." Key moaned, he loved Jonghyuns lips and he wanted his tongue too. Key licked the olders lips until he opened them, battling Key's tongue for dominance. Their tongues exploring one anothers, tasting eachother and breathing one another in.
"Your lips are mine only." Jonghyun whispered, licking and biting Keys lips, not getting enough.
Key smiled into his lips and continued to kiss Jonghyun all night long. All thoughts of tomorrow thrown out the window. They can worry about the repercussions later, they just wanted to be in this moment, forever.

Words slowly coming out in a whisper, yet the older didnt miss anything Key said, a smile slowly started to creep his face.
"Really?"
"H-huh?"
"Do you mean it?"
"-and here we have the finest wine for you both." A waiter came out of nowhere and started pouring wine into their glasses. Relief washed all over Key's body as the waiter interrupted them.
"Thank you so much." Key smiled at the waiter, too friendly in Jonghyuns opinion. The younger didnt need to show those dimples to anyone but him, annoyed, Jonghyun still smiled at the waiter politely.

Jonghyun smiled affectionately, "That's alright bummie, I wanted to tell you. What about you? Do you have any hobbies?" Taking another swig of wine, despite the bitterness.
The younger smiled shyly, happy that Jonghyun trusted him enough. "Hmmm....I really like to dance and listen to music. I love fashion too, mainly the reason why im taking fashion design right now." Key said happily, it felt so easy to talk to Jonghyun. He felt as if he would never judge him.
"I can tell. You dress yourself really well Key, im glad you're following your dreams." Jonghyun smiled gently, he couldnt help but compliment the younger.
This made Key feel sad, "Yeah but....I wish you were too...." he wanted Jonghyun to do something he loved, not to feel obligated to do what everyone else was doing. For the sake of money, Key would give his whole life savings to the older if it meant his comfort and happiness. Key would give everything to pay Jonghyun back for the life he's breathing right now. He had more than enough money, he just needed to convince his parents to help and he didnt think it would be that hard. Especially if it was for the man who saved their sons life.
"That's okay Key, sometimes we cant all have what we want. I've made a lot of sacrifices in my life, this wont be the first." Jonghyun looked away, noticing the waiter coming with the food.
".......am I a sacrifice?" Key didnt know where that came from, he thinks the wine was starting to do its wonders on him. Jonghyun just looked at him eyes wide, not expecting Key to say that.
"And here we are, Valentines Day special for the beautiful couple. Enjoy!" The waiter interrupted once again, placing down one plate of the finest steak, along with a plate of scallops and caviar to share. No wonder, it was a 'couples special' for a reason, it was all made to share so it was more intimate. The waiter left after a few 'thank you's' and allowed the 'couple' to enjoy their dinner.
Jonghyun and Key looked shyly at one another, both waiting for the other to make a move. "Here let me cut it." Jonghyun moved the steak in front of him and started cutting it for Key, true gentleman style. Key smiled.
"Thanks Jong."
"Anytime." Jonghyun smiled back at the younger. Finishing with his task, he moved the plate back in between them, and placed a piece in front of Keys mouth to feed him the first bite. Without thinking, the younger instantly opened his mouth and ate the steak, humming in satisfaction. Unaware of the hungry gaze Jonghyun had on his lips, either he wanted some of that steak or something else entirely. However, Key was too busy eating to notice.
By the time they finished eating, Jonghyun started to grow anxious. He didnt really think about how much the bill was going to cost, despite being prepared to empty his wallet tonight, he truly didnt think he had enough to pay for the full meal. So when the waiter came by with the bill, it was tucked away in a black book, never to be seen by Jonghyun, ever.
"I hope the both of you have enjoyed your meal tonight, we are always pleased to serve you Mr. and Mr. Kim." The waiter smiled and bowed to them.
"It was delicious, thank you Donghae." Key smiled back at the waiter.
Jonghyun, however, wasnt too pleased that Key knew the waiters name, but its must be because he comes here often. The older concluded in his head and smiled, "It was really good, thank you. What about the bill?" Jonghyun was almost too scared to ask, anxiously waiting for the bomb to be dropped on him.
"Ah, yes. My apologies Mr. Kim. I forget to mention Mr. Lee has taken care of your meal tonight. He told us to let the both of you know that it was his gift for the both of you."
Jonghyun's eyes widened in shock. Jinki paid for everything already? Wow. He was happy he saved his wallet but sad he couldnt really pay for Key, he felt embaressed.
"Are we still getting soju?" Key asked excitedly.
Jonghyun smiled at Key's cuteness, despite everything, the younger still wanted to get soju with him. "Yeah, lets go!" He took Key's hand and led them out of the restaurant. It was still light out as the sun was slowly setting, the skies covered in orange and pink hues, making the streets glow.
"Its so beautiful." Key breathed out, admiring the sky.
"Very."
Key turned to look at Jonghyun, who in return was watching him. The younger blushed, the way the older looked at him was ethereal. Key couldnt help but keep looking into those big brown eyes that were calling to him. Making him feel lost.
"-excuse me."
Jonghyun and Key turned looking to their side, another couple was standing there waiting to enter the restaurant. They didnt realize they were blocking the door, so they immediately moved aside for them to enter, apologizing along the way.
They both chuckled, embaressed at what just happened. "Shall we?" Jonghyun gestured to the motorcycle.
"Let's." Key smiled and followed the older to the vehicle. Excited at getting to have soju for the first time with Jonghyun, Key couldnt help but giggle to himself.
Key decided that riding behind Jonghyun on his motorcycle, was his most favourite thing ever. The younger hadnt felt this happy in a long time. The warm feeling of Jonghyuns hard back against his chest, as he held on tightly, it made him feel ethereal. It made him feel as though he can die happy knowing he experienced what true love was like, what it truly meant when they say your heart beats faster than normal, or when your pupils dilate whenever you see them. He felt it all with Jonghyun.
"Were here!"
The younger felt the motorcycle stop as he looked around at where they were. He saw a small shop with a few tables inside, it didnt seem like it could fit many customers. Key removed himself from the bike and gave his helmet to Jonghyun, watching him lock it away along with his own.
"Its really pretty here." Key admired the area, a beach sat in front of the little shop, along with a few other shops for the locals in the neighbourhood. It seemed nice and quiet, but you can hear kids laughing from the beach and a few people walking along the boardwalk. The small restaurant however, seemed almost empty. Only a couple of friends sitting inside enjoying a meal.
"Yeah, I come here whenever I need to take my mind off things. Not many people come here, its a quiet neighbourhood." Jonghyun explained, as he watched Key look around.
"Thanks for bringing me here. I love it." Key smiled, he was happy Jonghyun brought him to a place he always escaped to. It felt personal, and he appreciated it.
The older couldnt help but blush at Key's words. Jonghyun didnt know why he always felt nervous around the younger, he always thought it could be because he was way too intimidating and beautiful, or it could be because he wanted to impress him as a friend. He was leaning more towards the first one if he was going to be completely honest with himself. "Let's go inside." Jonghyun took Keys hand in his and led them into the small restaurant, all the while, Key's face was scarlet red from all the touching.
"Jonghyun-ah!" An older looking lady came out from behind the counter near the kitchen, excitedly walking towards them. "You havent been here in a while!"
Key looked at Jonghyun confused, he hasnt been here in a while? Why? The younger had so many questions.
"I'm sorry, I just started university recently, I havent had the chance honestly." Jonghyun smiled apologetically at the older lady. Was that the only reason why? Key thought.
"And who is this? Your new boyfriend?" She smiled happily, hoping to hear some good news.
"N-n-no...we're-f-friends! This is my f-friend, Kibum." Jonghyun didnt know why he was stuttering so much. Maybe cause the word 'boyfriend' kept getting thrown around that day, if not literally then objectively.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Key smiled, bowing to the older lady in respect. Jonghyuns stuttering act not going unnoticed by Key and the older woman.
"You are so beautiful Kibum. Jonghyun is a lucky man, I see." The older lady chuckled, making both Key and Jonghyun turn red.
"We were just hoping to get a drink or two, and maybe some tteokbokki if thats okay." Jonghyun hurriedly tried to change the subject, embaressed at the situation.
"Oh yes! Come on in, sit anywhere you like. Let me go grab you some soju first and i'll bring out the tteokbokki." The old lady gestured for them to sit and walked away to the kitchen to grab everything.
"Come." Jonghyun whispered to Key, leading him to a table facing the large window leading to the beach outside. "This is my usual spot." The older laughed, mostly at himself for being ocd about a seat.
"It's perfect. I'm excited to try soju for the first time!" Key said as he sat down infront of the older man.
"Alright boys, enjoy!" The old lady dropped off the soju and the tteokbokki, making sure they had two shot glasses along with them.
They both bowed and thanked the older lady. Jonghyun opened the bottle and poured soju into both glasses, filling them to the brim.
Key eyed the shot glass, this looked dangerous. He got drunk incredibly fast, you could say he was a light weight. The fact that he drank wine and now this, he'll be mixing drinks at this point. He didnt think to tell Jonghyun because he didnt think he'd actually drink this much, but....what can go wrong right? He trusted Jonghyun and he truly wanted to have fun.
"Ready?" Jonghyun took his shot glass in his hand and faced it towards Key.
"Ready." Key chuckled and held his shot glass to cheers it with Jonghyun. "Cheers!" They both said and downed each shot.
It was now dark outside and it seemed like everyone has gone home. Except for Jonghyun and Key. One shot turned into two, which turned into three, and then turned to four, then turned to five and so on. Shot after shot was taken as Key and Jonghyun were having the time of their lives, laughing, talking and lets not forget, flirting. As each minute passed by, the tension and the heat between them rose quickly. Key was defintely drunk at this point.
"Jooooong..." Key mumbled, his head being supported by one of his arms and the other hand on the table holding an empty shot glass.
"Bummieee.." Jonghyun replied, also feeling a bit drunk and in a daze. Not as bad as the younger though, he now learned Key couldnt handle his alcohol. He chuckled absentmindedly, one of his hands mimicing Key, holding his own head as the other hand laid on Keys thigh.
Their faces were so close to one another, they didnt know how or when they moved but they did.
"W-will you...-hicc-...l-leave me when you...-hicc-...f-find a girl to fall in love with?" Key hiccuped in between each pause, his eyes barely staying open but his mind on full over drive.
"W-wh-what?"
"I said, will you -hicc- leave me for -hicc- another gwur-mmphh!" Key was shut up by Jonghyuns lips on his. They kissed deeply, passionately, as though no one else was around them.
Which was true, the restaurant was empty now and the old lady was knowingly hiding in the back, making sure they had all the privacy they needed. She chuckled at the lovebirds. Jonghyun has never brought anyone to the restaurant with him, he's never even introduced anyone to her either. The older boy always had a secret life he lived, yet she was happy he finally found someone to share it with.
Key couldnt help but moan into the kiss as one of Jonghyuns hands was caressing his cheek and the other still on his thigh. Their lips devouring one another, the soju giving them an excuse to taste one anothers lips once again. Jonghyun wished he could kiss Key more than once a day, he wished he could kiss him every second of everyday. He wanted to make Key his, no, he needed to make Key his.
The kiss started to slow down, as they took time to feel one anothers lips, to taste eachother before it all ends and comes crashing down on them.
"I would never leave you." Jonghyun whispered against Keys lips, his mind still spinning in circles, finding comfort in Keys touch.
"Wont you be tired of kissing me everyday?" Key whispered back, drunk thoughts coming out verbally.
"I should be asking you that." Lips still grazing one another as they continued to give one another a kiss here and there. The alcohol giving them courage and freedom to do what they wished for the night.
"But I can only kiss you anyways."
"Do you want to kiss anyone else?"
"N-n-no!" Keys hooded eyes widened at the olders question, his lips now being taken on another deep and passionate journey. They loved kissing one another, they couldnt get enough. Jonghyun bit the bottom of Keys lip, tugged it and then let go, teasing Key a bit.
"Mmmm.." Key moaned, he loved Jonghyuns lips and he wanted his tongue too. Key licked the olders lips until he opened them, battling Key's tongue for dominance. Their tongues exploring one anothers, tasting eachother and breathing one another in.
"Your lips are mine only." Jonghyun whispered, licking and biting Keys lips, not getting enough.
Key smiled into his lips and continued to kiss Jonghyun all night long. All thoughts of tomorrow thrown out the window. They can worry about the repercussions later, they just wanted to be in this moment, forever.
