TM 92
yumeyanaSHINee | jonghyun x onew
PG-13 | romance, humor
It's a battle you've never won and you're his prisoner of war. It's not as if Jonghyun hasn't tried to fight back. Onew just makes it impossible for him to win.

Author's Notes: I'm supposed to be studying and researching for my case study on Saturday but I was stuck and well, JongYu was calling to me. IRFAIL. xD
Dedication: To
onew (for the title),
amenoireis (because she's still in class), and to
aoza (because she killed me with Jaejoong GIFs last night xD).
Disclaimers: None of the SM Entertainment artists mentioned below belong to me. Only the plot is mine.
There are times when Newton could be proven incorrect:
You can fall even when no one pushes you.
Even when you resist.
TM 92. Trick Room. For five turns, slower Pokémon move before faster ones, thus reversing the normal turn order.
* He doesn't seem to know it, you think, how everything he does has this effect he has on you. The way he struggles to smile even when he's dead tired; the strength he summons to keep the group (himself) together. The way he fails to make a joke (because he laughs before he finishes it); how he manages to have that childlike maturity in those eyes. You admire it all and watch how he grows, watch how it all makes him both Lee Jinki and Onew.
He doesn't know how it makes you fall even more.
Kibum has told you to push the breaks, to reign in your heart before it reaches the finish line with no trophy in the end. You've tried, you tell him time and again, but it's useless, really. He's got you hook, line and sinker; he's already captured you with a pokéball (he didn't even need to use a master ball, the idiot) before you've even had a chance to run or defend yourself from him. It's a battle you've never won and you're his prisoner of war.
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da, he sings repeatedly, dancing to the song you've written. He's practicing again (because he knows he needs to do it more than the others) and you try not to smile at how stupidly cute he looks as he does his favorite step. You missed a step, hyung, Minho points out, mimicking his mistake and he blinks; I did? He repeats the step, the song-only this time, he points to you when he reaches that part in the dance.
And he's looking at you, straight in the eye.
You want to laugh it off (there is a different song playing in your head now) or just grin and shake your head (he looks too cute, too funny, too damned begging to be kissed), but you do neither. He's still dancing, still going Da Da Da Da Da Da Da and pointing at you as if you're Juliet (Juliette, whatever)-as if he hasn't noticed the effect it has on you.
Hyung, you missed the same step again, goes Minho, chuckling.
Your eyes grow wide and you glance at the tall lad. The same step, you want to say but he cuts you with an embarrassed laugh. I should practice it again, shouldn't I? he says and it's the tone he uses (confident and full of secrets he's ready to spill) that makes you turn your attention back to him. He's singing again (Da Da Da Da Da Da Da), eyes trained on you.
You're singing the wrong song, hyung, you tell him, grinning.
He mirrors your smile, reaching for your hands. Sing the right one, then Writer Kim.
And you do.
