Summary:The other three on the table starts giggling, with Key laughing hysterically, obviously a retort on Jonghyun's. Minho curls his eyebrows and returns to eat, his bandmates' reactions just fed his curiosity more. It's just an iPod, how important could it be? And how untouchable should a small piece of gadget must be for him?
Minho clasped his book shut when he saw Jonghyun walk inside their shared bedroom and plopped himself to his bed. Minho heard a loud thud but was almost baffled by the fact that Jonghyun didnt even let out an ouch or whatever.
"Hyung, what's wrong?" Minho couldn't help but ask.
"I lost it, I fucking lost it..." Jounghyun grumbled, his voice in so much pain, Minho can almost feel it.
"What did you lose?"
"I dont want to talk about it!" Jonghyun continues to sulk, hugging his pillow, tossing and turning on the bed.
Minho's been living with Jonghyun for a long while now and he knows when are the times that he cannot make Jonghyun cough up whatever is bothering him. This rarely happens though since Jonghyun is always the happy-go-lucky-not-so-much-of-a-care person in their house. He leaves the room and walks to the living room where Onew was playing some online games on his laptop, Taemin dancing in one corner and Key would have to be in the kitchen, cooking dinner.
"Anybody knows what's up with Hyung?"
"By hyung, do you mean Jonghyun? Blonde boy, shortest, lead singer?" Onew asks, turning away from the laptop and facing the tall boy.
'Oh no, Onew hyung. I'm talking about you." Minho rolls his eyes, "Of course, i'm talking about Jonghyun."
"Ah. He's missing his iPod." Onew smiles widely and shrugs his shoulders and returns back to his paused game.
Taemin stops dancing around and grabs a towel lying on the couch beside Minho, "Jonghyun hyung is bugging us that the three of us were playing a prank on him. We're not."
"So, you havent seen it?"
"No. We found it. Probably why Jonghyun's still moping like a five year old in your bedroom." Key suddenly chimes in, with a tone so sarcastic it can break their windows, bringing over a hot casserole on the dining table.
"Ok, point taken. Why dont you guys help him look for it?"
"He probably misplaced it, just as Onew misplaces the balance in his body." Key continues as he sets up the table for dinner, "Call the sulking boy and let's eat."
"Yey, dinner!" Taemin prances towards the table, Onew follows, almost falling over when the carpet slides under his feet. Key takes his seat beside Taemin, "What are you waiting for? Call him."
"I'm calling him?"
"You're the only one standing, right?"
Minho shakes his head and turns to head back to their bedroom. There are times he just wants to strangle Key for being like that, but he cant do that, of course. He was dumbfounded to find Jonghyun still tossing and turning on his bed, Has he been doing that the whole time?
"Hyung, dinner."
"Not hungry."
"Yes you are. Come on."
"N-O-T H-U-N-G-R-Y."
"With all the energy you're spending tossing and turning, i bet you are."
"Actually, im getting pretty dizzy than hungry." Jonghyun stops, laughing, holding his forehead, Minho chuckles, he walks to the bed and sits beside his hyung, "Come on." He pulls Jonghyun up with one hand, and he was surprised how light his hyung was despite his built, and he wasnt able to control his strength.
"HYUNG! Sorry!" Minho rubs Jonghyun's forehead that bumped on his own, making sure that the older boy didnt get any concussion or something.
"I'm fine. Come on, dinner it is." Jonghyun jumps off the bed, Minho was about to leave when he noticed some ink blots on the wall, they were little scribbles. He hasn't noticed it before, since he never went to Jonghyun's bed, respecting his hyung's privacy.
"Jong... Minho? Jong Minho? ♥ ♥ ♥? WHAT?" A huge smile is immediately plastered on his face, he felt his blood rush immediately to his cheeks.
"Minho, come on!" Jonghyun calls out from the other side of the door, Minho shakes his head vigorously so that his blood can calm down and follows Jonghyun out the door. He was surprised with the sudden blushing, not that he's innocent of this feeling, he just wasnt ready for it.
"What were you doing?" Jonghyun asks as they walk back to the dining area.
"Nothing."
-----
Key watches intently with a raised eyebrow so high it can reach their ceiling as Jonghyun happily eats the hot casserole he prepared for them.
"This kimchi stew is the best Key!"
"Hyung... This isn't Kimchi stew..." Taemin tells him with his voice breaking due to the tension the maknae feels between Key and Jonghyun.
"So is this chicken?" Jonghyun provokes Key more, their umma hates it when Jonghyun comments on Key's cooking.
"Chicken? Where's the chicken? Key, you better tell me there's chicken coming or I'll be so upset." Onew butts in, a little disoriented looking left and right if there's chicken on anyone's plates.
"THERE'S NO CHICKEN. JONGHYUN, THAT'S A HOT CASSEROLE." Key says this in a monotonous way. If he's not getting a key higher, instead, like this, he's scarier.
"This isn't Kimchi stew? A lie. Just like the three of you were lying that you havent taken my iPod as hostage."
"WE DONT HAVE IT JONGHYUN. Ask Minho." Key has managed to combine two kinds of tones in just one sentence, the umma then returns to his food calmly.
"I'll help you look for it, Jonghyun-hyung. Dont worry." Minho pats Jonghyun's back but was surprised with the older boy's reaction.
"NO! Don't look for it. Don't touch it. Don't even come near it!"
The other three on the table starts giggling, with Key laughing hysterically, obviously a retort on Jonghyun's. Minho curls his eyebrows and returns to eat, his bandmates' reactions just fed his curiosity more. It's just an iPod, how important could it be? And how untouchable should a small piece of gadget must be for him?
-----
Minho walks inside their bedroom after he showered, Jonghyun was done and was just singing some soft ballad to lull himself to sleep. He looks at the older boy, he smiles, he is amazed on how his hyung can reach high notes even if the song is almost just a whisper, and Jonghyun is lying down no less.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Keroro?" Jonghyun asked, eyebrow raised, Minho didnt even notice that his room mate has stopped singing.
"Nothing. Go to sleep." Minho lies on his bed and feigns sleep, making sure he was facing Jonghyun so he can be certain when his hyung is asleep. It took almost half an hour that Minho had to compete with himself from falling asleep. He fully opens his eyes when he heard Jonghyun snoring silently.
Time to look for that damned iPod.
He lits up his lampshade, still looking over the other bed to make sure that Jonghyun's still sleeping. He slowly gets up and walks silently towards Jonghyun's drawer. Carefully, he searches the 1st drawer, he was surprised to see a small box with a small heart sticker on the lid, curiously, he opens it, this is beyond him being a nosey prick, but it's a curiosity battle, and he must win it.
Inside the box he found a candy wrapper, too familiar he almost giggled loud. It's the very same wrapper of the candy he gave Jonghyun last night. He then found a bracelet inside, it's the same friendship bracelet he gave everyone for Christmas last year, Minho always wondered why it was only Jonghyun who doesnt wear it all the time. Minho felt his tummy get butterflied as he found more tiny trinkets on the box of stuffs that he has given his room mate, some he almost forgot he has given him, he didnt realize he was smiling the whole time already. He placed the lid back on and closed the drawer, the ipod wasnt there.
He went outside and started walking to the kitchen, thinking that Key must be really pulling a prank on Jonghyun since this is where Key almost always is, the kitchen is their umma's territory, he opened a cabinet door, on the other side of the door is a post-it that says, "Dont give coffee to Minho, it's not good for him, just because he wont stop growing, you'd stop giving him milk. Give milk to him. OK?!" It was Jonghyun's handwriting. No wonder Key stopped giving him coffee for breakfast lately. He thought Key just got tired of his constant complaints. He closed the cabinet doors, the item he was searching for wasn't there at all.
He walked back to the living room and headed towards Onew's desk, he noticed that under the laptop is another post-it that says "If there's anyway I couldnt wake Minho in any circumstances, wake him up for me." Again, it was Jonghyun who wrote the note, no wonder when Jonghyun has an earlier schedule than him, it was Onew who'd wake him up, he always thought Onew's been doing this because he was the leader. He returns the note under the laptop and searches the whole desk, the gadget wasnt there.
He sees Taemin's bag on the couch. He opens it to find some books their maknae uses when he goes to school, Minho takes out a notebook and another post-it fell on his lap. "Dont take Minho's books without permission, you know he's got money on there sometimes." And Minho wasnt so surprised anymore that it was Jonghyun who wrote it. And here he always thought Taemin learned some manners and kind of stop rebelling against him. He returns Taemin's stuff inside the maknae's bag with Minho's heart racing on his chest.
He always thought that everyone cares for him equally, but he was surprised that Jonghyun has exerted more efforts than the rest, maybe it was a way of concealing the special attention he gets from his blonde hyung that Jonghyun gave their bandmates little notes like those he found. He didnt feel any bits of betrayal though.
Minho eventually realizes that what he did tonight was not to look for Jonghyun's iPod anymore, he was already looking for the bits and pieces of what his hyung feels for him. He laughs to himself when he saw something sitting silently beside the TV in the living room. There it is, Jonghyun's iPod. Sitting there silently, waiting to be found. Minho smacked his head realizing that every one of them has passed by this gadget the whole time yet they didnt realize it was just there where they can see it. He walks towards it and takes it in his hand. He wonders why he was not supposed to look at this particular iPod, he turns it over and found his answer.
There is a photo sticker of the both of them at the back of the gadget. It was taken a year ago when the two of them went shopping and decided to goof around the mall for a little bit. To have their picture stuck on the most prized item Jonghyun possesses, Minho realizes how much he might just mean to Jonghyun as well.
He walks back to their bedroom with the iPod on his hand and looks at his sleeping hyung. Jonghyun was in deep slumber, lying on his side, instead of going back to his own bed, he crawls beside the blonde boy, placing an earphone on his ear, the other on his hyung, he turns it on, and a soft ballad plays, Jonghyun suddenly wakes up, almost pushing Minho off the bed but stopped when he realized that he's listening to music.
"I found it Jonghyun hyung..."
"I told you not to..."
"Dont worry, I found it too." Minho cuts Jonghyun short, pulling the older boy in a tight embrace.
"What? What did you find?" Jonghyun, in his half awake state asks, Minho just gave him a confusing smile. "Just dont lose it both."
Minho gave Jonghyun the ipod, tugging him closer, "Both?"
"Me and that god-forsaken iPod of yours."
"Oh. Heh." Jonghyun can only stay speechless and wrapped his arm on Minho, going back to sleep, tonight will be different for the both of them now and for the nights to come.
Minho gave Jonghyun a kiss on the forehead and looked at the scribbles on Jonghyun's wall, he realizes that the quest for the iPod has become the quest to realizing his own feelings too. Just like the iPod sitting idly by on the living room, his love for his hyung has always been there, he just wasnt able to realize it. And there's no way he's gonna lose this feelings anytime soon.
