Summary: Taemin felt that Jonghyun just turned his evening to be wonderful.
Taemin lifted a brown big box, it was the last box on the moving truck. The box contained his clothes, he believed. It was pretty light compare to the boxes that contained his college books. Taemin walked upstairs carrying that box, he opened the door to his best friend (Kibum)’s apartment. Well, but Taemin guessed that it’s now his apartment too.
“It is the last box, Taeminnie?” Kibum asked. He was busy helping Taemin by unpacking the boxes on the living room.
“Yes!” Taemin huffed. He put the last box next to the other boxes, on the living room floor.
“Thanks again for letting me stay here, hyung.” Taemin smiled to Kibum as he sat down next to him.
“Ah, don’t worry. I just want to help you and you are my best friend after all. But don’t just sit there, Taemin! Help me unpack the boxes. It is yours! After we unpack it, you better start to move the contains and arrange it into your room!”
Taemin laughed at his best friend, he was more like his mother to think about it.
Taemin was just starting college this month, but his college was really far from his house. And by a chance, it was really close to Kibum’s apartment. So, Kibum offered Taemin to stay on his apartment. Because his parents are close to Kibum too, Taemin and Kibum didn’t have a hard time convincing them. So from there on, Taemin started living with Kibum.
“Hyung~ What’s for dinner? I’m hungry.” Taemin walked to the dining room, he saw Kibum was reading a magazine there.
“Oh! I was thinking to go out for dinner tonight. You could know the places here, and I know a very good restaurant!”
“Really, hyung? But it’s cold outside…”
“Just double the shirts, use sweater, use the coat, or something! It will be warm inside the restaurant, I promise.”
“All right, hyung…” Taemin knew that he can’t say no to Kibum. “But can we go now? I’m really hungry.”
They walked about a few minutes until they arrived at a restaurant. The building was not too big, it looked like it was a French restaurant.
Both of them walked into the restaurant where they can see that the restaurant was full. The waiter asked them to wait for their table.
“Aaah, but I’m really hungry …” Taemin whined. He sat on the waiting table while Kibum sat next to him.
Taemin decided to look around the restaurant, he got nothing to do anyway. The decoration was pretty nice, and it was true what Kibum said, it was warm there.
Then Taemin’s eyes landed on someone. It was a guy with brown hair, sitting there enjoying his dinner. His eyes are black, deep. He has really gorgeous face, defined jaw line, his smile is adorable. He was talking with the person in front of him, that person got a black hair, he looked tall even though he was sitting, and he has handsome face too.
But Taemin kept looking at the brown haired guy. There was something about that guy that really captured Taemin’s eyes.
“Maybe we should go to other restaurant?” Kibum suggested, but then he stopped. “Hey, Taeminnie.. What are you looking at?”
“Ooh, it’s nothing hyung..” Taemin quickly turned his head to Kibum.
“Wait.. that person!” Kibum suddenly stood up and walk to the brown and black haired guy seat.
Taemin panicked and ran after Kibum.
“Yah, Kim Jonghyun! Choi Minho!” Kibum was standing in front of them. He put his hand on his hips, staring at them.
“Ah, isn’t it Kim Kibum?” Jonghyun grinned at him.
“How are you, hyung?” Minho smiled at Kibum.
“I’m perfectly fine! As always.” Kibum smiled proudly. “So, you guys are having dinner?”
“Yes. Actually Onew hyung was here too with us. But he left early for some work.” Jonghyun answered. “How about you? You’re getting dinner too?”
“Yes, but we haven’t got our seat. They told us to wait.” Kibum sighed.
“Oh by the way! This is my best friend, Lee Taemin.” Kibum pointed at Taemin. Taemin smiled to them, shyly. “Taemin, this is.. well you can say neighbors. Kim Jonghyun and Choi Minho. They live near our apartment.”
“Hello! How come we never met you before?” Jonghyun smirked.
“Because I’m afraid that he will turn weird like you!”
“Aw, you’re such a meanie Kibum! Oh, how about if you guys sit here with us? We got two free seats anyway.”
Taemin only smiled at Jonghyun, but he swore that he brushed brightly.
“Yes, hyung. It’s been a while since we talk, we can catch up.” said Minho.
“Well, alright. We’re already too hungry anyway.”
So then, Kibum sat next to Minho. Leaving Taemin with no choice but sitting next to Jonghyun, who he found incredibly attractive.
They had a really good time together. Taemin loved talking to Jonghyun. Taemin only knew Jonghyun for a few amount of time. But he already liked this guy. He felt so comfortable beside Jonghyun. Taemin learned things about Jonghyun. That he’s older than Taemin, that he composed songs, and has a really beautiful voice.
“Taeminnie, it’s late.” Kibum glanced at the clock. They finished their dinner, but they are still having some chit-chats.
“But I think I will stay here a little longer and catch up more with Minho. You have to go home and prepare for your college tomorrow. Jonghyun, can you take Taemin home? He lives in my apartment now.”
“Ah, don’t worry hyung. I can go home by myself.” Taemin stood up from his seat.
“Nonsense!” Jonghyun quickly stood up too. “You’re new here right? I’ll take you home.” He said as he smiled sweetly to Taemin.
They can felt the cold breeze as soon as they exited the restaurant.
“Oh gosh, it’s really cold here…” Taemin said while walking next to Jonghyun. He rubbed his hands, trying to make them warmer.
“Yes, it’s really cold here. Oh, wait. You’re not wearing a scarf! Do you want mine instead?”
“No, no, hyung! I’m fine!” Taemin shook his head quickly.
But Jonghyun took off his scarf anyway. He walked closer to Taemin. Jonghyun face was very close to Taemin’s as he wrapped his scarf to Taemin’s neck.
“Thanks, hyung…” Taemin said, he must be blushing again.
Jonghyun grinned at him as they continue walking. Taemin felt that Jonghyun just turned his evening to be wonderful.
Jonghyun started to tell Taemin jokes and successfully made Taemin laughed until he almost slipped. He blamed the slippery and cold road for that. Thankfully, Jonghyun was there and quickly grabbed Taemin, prevented him from falling.
You see, Jonghyun smile was contagious, and his laugh was too. Taemin thought that it will be awkward with him cause he was no good with strangers. But with Jonghyun, it felt so different. Like Taemin known Jonghyun for years already. They talked like they are close friends and really comfortable with each other.
They had a nice chat until they arrive in front of the apartment.
“Well, we’re here!” Jonghyun said as he looked at Taemin’s and Kibum’s apartment.
“Thank you, hyung. I had a wonderful evening.”
It’s that weird to say? I just met him for God’s sake.Taemin wondered on his head.
“I have a wonderful evening too.” Jonghyun smiled at Taemin. “Take care now!” He waved as he disappeared on the streets full of people.
It has been a three days since Taemin met Jonghyun. Taemin could be smiling all day whenever he thought about Jonghyun. He found himself wanting to see him again. Soon.
“Lee Taemin. You are in love! With… Kim Jonghyun!” Kibum pointed at Taemin who currently sitting in the sofa, pretended to read a book. While clearly his mind was all over Jonghyun. It was a nice Friday afternoon, and Kibum suddenly blurted that out.
“What are you talking about, hyung?” Taemin raised his book high, hoping that Kibum wouldn’t notice his red face that way.
“Don’t ‘what’ me! Ever since you met him, you’ve been all over him. Asking more and more about him! I caught you day dreaming a lot lately too. You also sleep with his scarf on right?”
“It was cold on the room!” Taemin protested. “Okay fine, maybe I like him. But not in love!”
Oh Taeminnieee~” Kibum trilled and pated Taemin on the head.
“What should I do? I want to see him again, but I have no reason.” Taemin pouted.
“Tsk, Taemin. The scarf! Call him, ask him to go here, pick up his scarf or something.”
Kibum picked the phone and shoved it to Taemin’s face.
“What? No way hyung!”
“Call. him. now!” Taemin shook his head in reply.
Kibum sighed and squeezed some numbers on the phone.
“What? Who are you dialing hyung??”
Kibum didn’t answer his question and threw the phone to Taemin’s lap instead.
“Hello?” Taemin can hear Jonghyun’s voice on the other line.
“Oh sh-hello, Jonghyun hyung! Do you umm… have anything to do tomorrow night?”
“Hey, Taemin!” said Jonghyun as he hung his coat by the hanger, near the apartment door.
“Taemin’s not here yet. He’s out buying some milk, I guess.” Kibum popped out.
“Oh, okay.” Jonghyun replied. “So, how are you doing lately, neighbor?” he asked as he walked to the living room, and sat on the couch.
“I’m good, I’m good. How about you? Oh, look, you got snows on your hair!” Kibum giggled.
“Ah , really?” Jonghyun tried to shove some snows on his head, he then noticed that there are some on his shirt too.
“Here, let me help you.” Kibum brushed snows out of Jonghyun’s hair lightly.
A pair of eyes has been watching them the whole time. It was Taemin’s eyes. He came back quickly from the store cause he wanna see Jonghyun. But he felt so jealous and mad all of the sudden. Jonghyun and Kibum looked so close to each other.
“Jonghyun hyung…” Taemin said, as he walked to the living room. His voice was shaky.
Jonghyun and Kibum turned their head and see Taemin there.
“I think you should leave.”
“Huh? What? Why, Taeminnie? It has been a long time since I see you right?” Jonghyun was really confused, he walked closer to Taemin. He raised his hand, wanted to hold Taemin’s.
“Don’t touch me!” Taemin pulled his hand, hard. “Please just leave. Now!” Taemin felt some tears on his eyes already.
Jonghyun looked hurt and replied quietly. “I understand.”
As Jonghyun slowly leaved the place with a sad expression, Taemin rushed to his room before Kibum could explain anything.
It has been almost a week since that incident. Taemin missed Jonghyun so much, but he still mad somehow. It really hurted him when he saw Jonghyun and Kibum look so close to each other.
Kibum tried explaining to Taemin, which Taemin only replied with a sad smile on his face, and said that he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.
Taemin sat by near the apartment’s window, he saw the snow was starting to fell lightly. His thought wondered to Jonghyun. He was lonely, all alone in the apartment. Kibum went out to have some Christmas dinner or something.
TACK.
Taemin startled as he heard that sound. It sounded so close to him.
TACK. TACK.
Taemin heard those sounds again, he wondered where was it from. Then he noticed that someone was throwing a rock on the apartment’s window.
He was wondering who did that. He noticed a person standing in front of his apartment. He was about to throw another rock. Taemin opened the window and saw the guy. It was clear to him now, that guy was Jonghyun.
“Lee Taemin!!” Jonghyun shouted.
“What do you want, hyung?!” Taemin replied harshly.
“I.. I forgot my scarf?” Jonghyun grinned.
“What a jerk. Go bury yourself in a hole!” Taemin closed his apartment’s window abruptly.
Jonghyun threw another rock at the window.
“No, Taemin! I was just kidding, okay?” Jonghyun shouted again.
Then there was a silence.
“You see, I don’t know why you’re being like this… But I keep thinking about you! I know it sounds cheesy but it’s true! I know it’s weird cause we just met a few days ago, we’re just getting to know each other… But I already got this feeling.”
Jonghyun got no reply. He continued.
“I love you, okay! I think I do! Gosh, this is so weird. It’s like we are meant to be together or something! Okay, that was cheesy. But, you felt it too right?”
Still no reply from Taemin. It was really quiet and it felt really cold outside. He waited for some few minutes but still there was no reply. Jonghyun felt that his body could be frozen any second now.
“Aish! This is so embarrassing!” Jonghyun kicked a pile of snow on the streets.
As Jonghyun about walk away home, he heard a, “Wait!”
Jonghyun turned and saw Taemin there. Taemin was holding his scarf.
Taemin walked closer to Jonghyun, he placed the scarf gently to Jonghyun’s neck.
“Y-yes, you are right… I felt that feeling too. And… I love you! I love you too.” Taemin said fastly. His face turned into a bright red as he did a quick peck on Jonghyun’s cheeks.
Jonghyun smiled so bright. He shared Taemin his scarf, it was pretty long and warm so they can use it together. He kissed him as he said,
“Merry Christmas.”
