Days went by in peace. Jonghyun continued to rest on his leg and stay out of the public eye. Onew hosted Music Core with Minho and continued his normal schedule. Everything was the same. Nothing was normal. The whole idea of normalcy had been stretched and skewed to a point where it’s meaning had been rendered useless.
Onew still clutched onto the ring he took from the restaurant. He hadn’t had a single one-on-one conversation with Jonghyun since his confession. The only time they ever talked together was at work. It’s not like he didn’t want to talk to him. Onew really did want to just sit down and eat go out for a meal sometime. But no, he couldn’t. How was he supposed to approach him?
Jonghyun wondered. That’s all he ever did, just wonder. He could be writing lyrics but words refused come to his mind. All other thoughts were blocked out by this consistent wondering. Were these emotions he was feeling for Onew real or were they just by products of the sympathy he felt for having injured him so badly?
He had to get these thoughts off of his mind. Jonghyun sat down on the couch and turned on the television. He knew that the rest of SHINee would be on a music show without him at the moment. He flipped through the channels, mindlessly trying to find that channel. He found the channel after some meaningless searching.
SHINee was already halfway through their performance but Jonghyun didn’t mind. He knew how the song goes. He used to be on that stage anyways. He mindlessly watched the other members perform. The camera cut to a shot of Onew. He sang into the camera passionately.
A glimmer was all he needed to see. The glimmer of a small metal chain around Onew’s neck and the ring that was hung from it. Jonghyun quickly scrambled for the remote. He paused the television. Bringing himself closer to the screen the singer started at the pixelated metal.
“Is that what I think that is?” Jonghyun glued his face to the glass in disbelief. He couldn’t believe it. That was the ring he proposed to Shin Se Kyung with. When did Onew get it? No, why does Onew have it and why is he wearing it around his neck? Wait, didn’t he get rid of that ring? Didn’t he through it against a wall?
The next day it was just Onew and Jonghyun. The other three members had schedules early in the morning. Onew had the day off and Jonghyun still had to stay at the dorm because of his foot.Jonghyun had to talk to Onew. He had to know why he had that ring, that ring that haunted him so.
Jonghyun walked up to the dinning table. He took a seat next to Onew who was sipping from a coffee mug. He pulled the coffee away from his leader.
“Should you really be drinking caffeine after coming out of the hospital?” Jonghyun took a drink out of Onew’s coffee.
“It’s not like I’m going to die or something, so just give me my coffee back.” Onew drank from the mug that Jonghyun held up mid air.
Jonghyun lifted the mug above his head. “Not in till you tell me how you got that ring you’re hiding underneath your shirt.”
Onew, suddenly flushed, stood up in surprise. He accidentally hit the coffee mug above Jonghyun’s head causing it to land in his crotch. Jonghyun let out an agonizing scream.
“Ah, Jonghyun-ah,” Onew unbuckled his junior’s belt to get the coffee stained pants off of him. “But since I think you’ll listen to me right now I have to say it. I thought you actually liked me back too. I hope I’m not lying to myself.”
“You’re not,” Jonghyun still didn’t know his true feelings but it was better to say what he was feeling than not saying anything at all. “Or at least I think you’re not. I don’t know how I feel. I don’t think I’ll ever. I feel happy when you kiss me. But then I realize that...Se Kyung...has a hold on my heart still. Obviously, I’m mad at her for what she did to me but I loved her and I need to get over her.”
Onew slouched in disappointment. He stopped and looked up at Jonghyun.
“But I’m not done. I physically respond better to you hyung. I know that Se Kyung can never and will never be a part of my life again so I have a selfish request to ask of you.”
“Yes Jonghyun-ah. Anything.”
“If you would let me, I would like to sincerely apologize to all I have done for you. I was not thinking straight and you did not deserve at all what I did to you.”
“Get on with it Jjong.”
“I think I may like you but I don’t know so can you stay by my side? Can I be allowed accept your feelings? I know this is quite selfish of me to ask but I want you even though a part of my heart will always belong to her. Can I date you the way I am?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Onew stood up and ruffled Jonghyun’s hair. He lifted his head so their eyes met. “I will always be waiting for the day your heart will become fully mine but as long a I have you by my side...”
And so Jonghyun woke up, his face covered in a cold sweat. He sat up in bed. Could it be possible that it was all a dream? No, please don’t let it all be a dream.
Taemin rushed into the SHINee bedroom. “What are you still doing in bed hyung?” Jonghyun rubbed the sleep from his eyes. “Key hyung is making us all pancakes!”
Jonghyun lazily got out of bed and moped over to the kitchen. Onew was already sitting at the table. He patted the open chair next to him and Jonghyun’s face lit up. He sat in the seat. Onew’s fingers intertwined with the singer’s so naturally under the table. The smell of sweet syrup and sounds of happy chatter filled the room. Jonghyun smiled at Onew.
Maybe this sort of lifestyle is possible.
A/N: I trust you guys so can I be honest with all of you?
This whole chapter is bullshit. Every single word. I just wanted to be finished with this series and that is what I am. Done. I sorta fell out of the SHINee fandom if you haven't noticed already. I honestly just wanted to leave this fic at chapter six and never finish but one of my friends won't read my new fics in till I finish this so yeah. Here you go, a final chapter. Now that this is done I am able to peruse fics about the fandoms that I care about, mainly the Arashi fandom.
I'll only post this to one community. It's currently 5:25 AM and I wrote this an about an hour. I'm making mistakes left and right so I don't really want to promote this much. Post this to communities if you would like (you have my permission) but I really only wrote it to finish it.
Thank you to all of my many supporters through out this almost one year journey with this fic and hope you'll be able to support me in my new fandom. I appreciate every single comment, added friend, and even silent readers as you are the people who motivate me to write. I write for my audience. As long as the community is happy, I'm happy. Thank you very much.
