Chapter Three
Turns out that I was still hungry and I went to the store with Kibum for something while Taemin was left at home. Kibum held my arm as we went down to the corner store, it was a nice feeling, something I never had before. We entered the small place and he patted my back,” Get whatever you want, I’ll meet you up in a couple of minutes and we can pay.” He smiled before leaving Jonghyun to his thoughts, he has never been asked what he wanted, and he’s always been given stuff without consent.
He wandered into the ramen section, picking up a cheese flavored cup and a spicy one. He hummed and went into the next aisle, his eyes widening with enjoyment as he saw all the treats stacked up nicely. He never knew the world other than the club, it was a nice change. He picked up a brownie pack with nuts and headed up to the cash register after grabbing a container of cake.
Kibum laughed, paying for all the stuff,” If you were hungry we should have stayed at the restaurant, so cute.” Jonghyun turned around to let his dark red blush out, he grabbed the bags and held his head down as they went back home.
Kibum opened the door and locked it, opening the bags and placing the groceries where they belonged. Taemin got up from his slouch and peeked into the bags,” What’s the occasion?” Kibum shrugged,” I have made up my mind on something. Want to hear?” They both nodded, killing each other with their glaring eyes as he continued to speak,” Well for one, Jonghyun gets hungry easily, that is like a known fact now. And two… I have decided to fill up my guest room,” he turned his head to jonghyun and kept his facial expression calm,” Want to be my roomie?”
Jonghyun couldn’t think of any words, not when Taemin was staring him down, but he didn’t care anymore. Hell, he was free, free and with the one he loves most, the one who rescued him. He wanted to ask how he got all the money, but, he knew he wasn’t aware that Taemin knew so he would play it safe. He nodded as he jumped into his arms,” It’s going to be awesome, thank you so much!” Kibum nodded, his mind rewinding the day.
He walked into the club, forcing his eyes onto the man at the front desk, he tapped the bell,” I need help.” The skinny man looked up, automatically realizing the boy,” How are you taking care of our Jonghyun? Hell we don’t care, just as long as you’re satisfied with your sexual needs, now your question?” Kibum cleared his throat, rethinking if this was what he really wanted. He’s thought about it so much in the two days it was hard to concentrate, but, in those two days he’s already developed feelings. He had already come to a conclusion that Jonghyun was special to him.
He took out an envelope from his trench coat and slid it over the counter,” I want to buy Jonghyun free.” The guy’s eyes opened wide first from shock and then from feeling how high the stack of money was. He took it all out and counted, he was scoffing and turned his gaze back to Kibum,” Are you sure? This is a lot of money for an amateur.” Kibum nodded, suddenly thinking about how great his life would be with Jonghyun around more often,” Positive.” The man was accompanied by another, handing over Jonghyun’s important files and waving goodbye.
“Let’s celebrate, with ramen!” Taemin growled as he sat at the table, but he lightened up when he spotted the sweet desserts being topped on the table. He knew Kibum wouldn’t eat this stuff, his face would be bloated for the whole day tomorrow, he smirked,” Brownies… looks yummy, hey, who knew we liked the same thing. Kibum, look, he got brownies and cake. Celebration huh?” He watched Kibum’s eyes like a hawk, his wheels turning when he saw how affected he looked.
“You’re not going to have some, Kibum?” Jonghyun’s eyes were glistening and looking intently at the boy who was glued to the cup of instant noodles. Kibum didn’t want to make Jonghyun sad, he nodded and walked over, sharing the chair. Jonghyun filled a fork and put it up to his mouth, Kibum gladly opened and the taste got him shivering. He stuck it under his tongue and accidently blew against Jonghyun’s neck, he saw the awkward glare that was sent towards Jonghyun and started getting uncomfortable. He got up and headed towards the bathroom, spitting out every little crumb into the toilet before flushing,” Ugh, that is disgusting.”
. . . . .
Taemin ended up leaving; the excuse of a stomach ache seemed to work well and got him out quickly. He couldn’t stand another second in that place. How could Kibum buy a prostitute?! HIS prostitute. He shook his head; he was going to kill Jonghyun, sooner or later.
. . . . .
Jonghyun crawled into bed, facing Kibum and giggling,” I can’t believe you bought me, wasn’t it a lot of money? I don’t think I’m worth it…” Kibum’s expression changed as he pulled his face into range,” You shouldn’t think that way, what if I bought you because I wanted to? Is that too hard to imagine?” Jonghyun shrugged, his mind wasn’t working,” Just that… you, you are so rich and you are so different from the others. I would never think that you’d want me.”
“You are worth all the money in the world to me, but money doesn’t buy happiness, neither does it love. I just hope we can become comfortable, I hope you aren’t that shy soon, too. Now go to sleep.” Jonghyun hugged his pillow, still looking at the back of Kibum; it was perfect at every angle. After a couple of minutes of slow breathing Jonghyun slipped his hand around his slim waist,” I think I love you… but I have to tell you something, Taemin, he isn’t what you think he is. Good night, Bummie.”
