Chapter Three: Breakfast & Couple Rings

Key POV

Two maids opened the thick glass doors; it made me feel awkward so I took the doors from them and said a quick,” I can manage, thanks.” They nodded and giggled away to where ever they needed to go next. The courtyard was beautiful, like in those really fancy movies in the older days, except this set couldn’t be easily moved around. I always wanted to have a courtyard full of flowers and patio furniture. It was a fantasy of mine to sit outside at night and just look up at the stars in silence, admiring the sounds of night creatures, and the natural glow of the moon. But, the sun was setting and it wasn’t quite night yet, either way it was still gorgeous. The weather was breezy and Jonghyun looked happy,” Why are you so happy?” His head jerked my way,” Is it a crime, to be happy?” His question startled me,” N-no but you just looked, um, could you just answer my question? I did ask you first.” He glanced back to the sunset,” If you must know, I was thinking about fairytales. Do you like fairytales, Kibum?” To be honest,” No.” He looked back at me like I was trying to commit suicide,” Really? Why not?” It took me a while to think of the real reason I hated them so much,” Fairytales are for children, not for people that had their childhood robbed by their own family.” Maybe I was getting to comfortable, this would be about the time I shut down my heart and turned cold, but I couldn’t get myself to do it. Something about him, put a spark in me, I couldn’t describe. After a minute of awkward silence I spoke up,” I was never a kid who believed in such things anyway, so I guess it was coming sooner or later. Not that its wrong for you to, you know, um believe.” He placed a hand on my back and rubbed it in circular motion, it was soothing,” It’s okay Kibum, I understand. Want to go back inside, it’s getting a little cold out here.” I nodded and he took my hand and led me into the kitchen, he got on a bike and looked at me,” Well are you just going to stand there? Get on, it’s a long walk.” The thought of going around a castle on a bike was just; weird. I got on the back and he sped off, leaving me breathless. He did have that effect on me though, even if I didn’t plan it. We reached the room we were in before, he parked his bike next to the door and walked in. He turned on the TV and put a movie in,” I hope you like comedy, because it’s all I have here.” Definitely better than re-watching classics, I sat on the sofa and took a pillow into my arms. When he turned around and saw me he glanced at the door and made his way towards me; I panicked. But to my surprise he sat next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, cuddling softly, like I was some teddy bear,” W-what are you doing Jong?” He looked up and his puppy dog eyes were big,” Jong? I like that, call me that from now on. I like you Kibum, you’re really comfortable. Much better than a pillow.” I let go of the pillow and shoved it to his face,” Have it. I don’t need it as much as you do.” He put threw the pillow next to the bed, he hugged tighter,” I don’t want a pillow, didn’t I already establish that? I guess I wasn’t clear enough the first time; Kibum. I want you.” My heart raced and the movie started, it was a romance comedy. He must have set this up, darn you Jong. He felt so warm and comfy; I couldn’t even pay attention to the movie. All that was on my mind was the boy who fell asleep on my waist. By the time the movie ended I could hear his breathing, his expression was priceless, like a cute boy with pink lips. Actually, he was a cute boy with pink lips, and not to mention his beautiful face and figure. I turned off the TV and took a blanket off the bed and placed it over him, and turned off the lights. I slipped into the warm bed and started thinking. Could I be falling for him, it couldn’t be. We are just friends, yes, and two gay friends. Plus he was a prince; I definitely don’t have a chance, once he meets another guy he’ll drop me like a fly. Don’t get your hopes up Kibum; he’s just looking for a friend. No, he’s looking for a pillow, oh shut up Kibum and go to sleep already. My eyelids were drooping and the last thing I remember seeing was the moonlight that swept into the dark room.

Sunlight crept onto my eyelids, forcing me to wake. I felt breathing on my face but I shook it off, I flipped over and felt a hand, no, an arm. I looked back; Jong sleeping like a baby with his hand draped over my waist. When did he get there? I tried to get off as quietly as I could but I failed, I slipped and hit my head on the nightstand,” Ouch.” I heard slight yawning and Jong’s head appeared at the edge of the bed where I was laying,” Morning?” I rubbed my head and chuckled,” Sorry, I tried not to wake you but this, stupid, nightstand here didn’t help me. By the way, when did you get on the bed?” He cocked his head,” Here’s a better question; When did you leave me on the couch by myself?” His replying with questions never failed to confuse me. “Last night when you fell asleep on my waist, that’s when.” He cutely rubbed his eyes,” I don’t like to sleep alone, that’s a fact. Why are you so bothered with it; I was sure Taemin would have did this to you once.” I stood up and headed for the balcony,” He has, many times. But it was a different feeling; with him I was okay because I know our relationship.” He followed me slipping his hands on my waist once again;” You don’t understand me do you?” It was silent,” No, I don’t.” He let go and pulled my body so I would face him,” I want to love you, but if you won’t let me in, it’s a broken heart in the making.” I could tell he was being serious; but it didn’t make any sense to me,” Jong, we have known each other for, like, seriously forty-eight hours.” He took my hand into his and rubbed it gently,” True love doesn’t carry a watch. And fortunately, neither do I. I’ve been waiting all my life for someone like you to come; and I don’t want to waste any more time.” I couldn’t respond this time, I was still trying to figure it all out. He sighed and mumbled a quick,” Stay here, don’t move.” And he went on his bike and left. I sat down on the sofa and looked out the window; where did I go right? I can’t believe this is happening to me, what do I do? To be completely frank, I was scared of the future. If I said yes and in a couple months he ends up breaking my heart because of innocent love, I would be scarred, it would be my fault. But on the other hand, if I said yes and we are this meant-to-be couple then I would be the happiest soul on the Earth. I ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth; swishing around a cup full of mouthwash, and fixed my hair. I sprawled out on the couch and awaited his entrance; I flipped through my cell phone until I saw Taemin’s number. I started texting ‘Hey Taemin are you doing well in your room? If you need anything come see me.’ Almost immediately a text arrived from him ‘Kibum! Minho is going to bring me shopping today, I’ll see you later. I love you!’ Hmm. Shopping, shopping for what exactly? These kids, I texted back ‘Okay, have fun Taeminnie! I love you too.’

He entered the room with trays filled with food, my eyes opened widely,” Jong. What’s all this for? Are you feeding the whole kingdom?” He touched his ear and sat down on the floor, placing the food on the table,” He he. No silly, this is for us. Hungry? I can feed you, if you are too tired.” A grin played across his face and I couldn’t help but smile,” Yea, I think I’m too tired to lift a finger. I guess you will have to go to the bathroom for me also.” His expression dropped and he checked me out; he looked so innocent. “Really? You would let me?” I nudged him,” Of course not, you pervert.” I kind of felt sorry for saying that when he actually thought I wasn’t joking. But in minutes he was cutting up toast and bacon happily, he opened his mouth and held a fork to my face,” Say ahh. Mmmh, yummy.” Oh god, he was too cute for me to handle. I could barely finish chewing up my food before he tried sticking another forkful into me,” Why aren’t you eating?” He looked up surprised,” Because, I’m feeding my baby. The way you eat is interesting; I want to see how much I can stuff in your mouth.” I laughed and covered my mouth with my hand so the food wouldn’t spill out, he was watching intensely. “Kibum. You’re really cute, you know that? I just want to bite you! Ah you are driving me crazy.” I brought my face closer to his, teasing him,” Why don’t you then? Mehrong!” He pouted and put the fork down, he got up and went into the blankets on the bed,” Stop teasing me Kibum! It’s only fun on your part, when do I get to laugh! Why don’t you think of something that would be fun for both of us, stop being so selfish!” I don’t know how he could get any cuter. His dark brown hair was poking out, along with his eyes, that were clearly visible. I shrugged and took the fork to my mouth, making airplane sounds, “I guess I have to eat this all by myself. Without little boys who complain and hide under sheets.” He shot up from the covers,” I am NOT a little BOY and I do NOT COMPLAIN!” He walked over to the sofa and sat at the very edge, farthest away from me, with his arms crossed and a pout that never left. I jabbed at a piece of toast swirled it around in the air,” Brrrrrrrr, this plane is in need of a landing at Jonghyun airport. May day, may day, we are going to crash! Ahhh!” He opened his mouth and let the ‘plane’ in,” Aigoo, how cute.” He couldn’t hide his smile, he took the utensil away from me and stuck fruit on it. He held it to me and I opened my mouth but he ate it,” That was some good fruit, Kibum. Why didn’t you want any?” His revenge was sweet, he was absolutely one of a kind. I smiled and took the bowl of fruit and put about twelve pieces into my mouth, he stared at me in shock,” Whoa, Kibum. Want some whip cream with that?” I chewed all the pieces and swallowed ending with an,” ahh.”  He looked like he was inspecting my mouth; he pointed to it and mumbled something that wasn’t audible. He leaned closer and his thumb swept across my lips, it was so natural. I leaned closer and looked into his eyes, his eyes wandered to my lips and eyes. His breath was hot and warm, sending a tingle to my cells. He pushed my body back into the couch and caressed my hair, his soft lips pressing onto mine. It felt like magic, I felt his tongue enter and I let mine flutter against his. I pressed his back into mine and our breaths quickened, lifting together. He lifted me onto the bed and closed the curtains quickly after. Also checking that the door was closed and locked, he slipped into the bed. His hands lifted up my shirt and kissed lightly, making sure there wasn’t any left uncovered. He attempted to take off my pants when I mumbled,” We can’t do this now. Please, let’s wait a little bit.” He smiled and laid next to me,” Of course, I can wait until you are ready.” His assuring words left me sure of why I couldn’t resist him. He was such an angel,” Jong, I’m still hungry.” I went back to the table and filled my mouth with toast and bacon, and some pieces of fruit every so often. “I’ll make sure that you get enough to eat. Eat up hunny, it’s going to be a long day! I’m going to take a shower first, so don’t come in.” I swallowed and glanced at him, ”Oh I wouldn’t dare.”

Minho POV

The boy squealed upon entering the mall, his face was bright and he had this stupid grin that was just the cutest. I pointed to a store on the second level,” Let’s start shopping for your new outfit here. Something suitable for dinner, like a tuxedo. I’m sure you will look great.” He nodded and went up the elevator; his faced was pressed on the glass,” This mall is so cool. You didn’t have to bring me here, it looks expensive.” He pouted and the clear doors opened, I wrapped a hand around his waist,” It’s alright, I’m paying so don’t worry. This store will really suit you.” I had his outfit all planned out in my head; black bowtie, dark skinny jeans, white shirt, and thin vest. Mine was similar; I wanted us to look like a couple. We entered the store and scanned around, I immediately found what I was looking for and he frowned when he saw the price tag. I pushed him into the dressing room and sat down; he looked nervous,” Uh, Minho why are you in here? I’m supposed to change right?” I didn’t see a problem at first, but then, he wasn’t Jonghyun. Every time we went shopping together we would be in each other’s rooms and be alright. I stood up and headed for the door but Taemin’s hand stopped me,” It’s alright, I think I’m going to need help putting this on anyways.” He assured me with a smile, and I started unhooking the clothes from the hangers. He unraveled himself to an undershirt and boxers; he was so petite, what if I break him? I handed him the clothes in order and took the tags off in the making, he looked stunning. Funny how appearances change so quickly, he looked at me,” Do I look okay?” I nodded and let out a grin,” Perfect.” He stuck up his thumbs and we headed towards the cash register,” The items I placed here earlier, I would like to include that also. And this whole outfit.” The sales clerk nodded and took my credit card, swiping it with one movement. She handed it back with an all too friendly smile to me, Taemin felt uncomfortable. I took his hand and held it tightly out of the store,” What’s wrong sweetie?” He shrugged and his eyes met a jewelry store, his eyes widened,” Wow, look at that!” He pulled me into the store to inspect the rings,” Do you like this kind of stuff?” He probably didn’t even hear me, I looked at the couple rings. It was really simple, a silver band with a couple of diamonds spread over it. He let go of my hand to look at the sparkling pieces on display, I whistled over the employee and pointed to the rings,” Could I have these wrapped? But keep it on the down - low, it’s for him.” I jerked my head in Taemin’s direction making sure the man knew who I was talking about; he nodded and kept his voice low.

” You can have it engraved, it’s free.”

“Is engraving things romantic?”

“Well, it depends on the person. But looking at him, since he’s young, he will like it. As long if it is something sensible.”

“What’s a couple name using Minho and Taemin? Not MinTae.”

“Eh, um, 2min seems nice. Since you both have ‘min’ and there are two of you. . .”

“Okay I get it. I’ll take it, when will it be finished?”

“Ten minutes tops.”

I nodded and I took Taemin by the shoulder,” I’ll get you something like that some other time, promise.” He let out a small ‘okay ‘and went into the food court. He wanted to eat nachos, I handed him fifty dollars and told him I needed to use the restroom. He nodded and I left for the jewelry store to pick up the rings. The man behind the desk smiled and gave me a maroon colored box, I peeked inside and there it was, 2min. This was the birth of us, Taemin and I. He’s the one, I know it for sure. The way he smiled, his pureness, something about him just makes me want to please him. I wanted him; for me, if I didn’t make my move now I’m sure someone would take him. I was going to do it tonight, before we go to sleep. It had to be tonight, any other night would drive me nuts. I slipped it into my vest pocket and headed back to the food court, he was sitting down with a water bottle in his hands. He chugged it down and looked up,” The nacho line was too long so I just got water. I’m really tired, is it possible to take a nap before we go out to dinner?” I nodded at the whining boy,” Of course, anything for you my love.” I took up the bags in my arms and Taemin walked behind. He was seriously tired, we went into the limousine and he placed his head on my lap. I stroked his hair and in no time at all he was fast asleep.

I put on my tux and fixed up Taemin, who had just woken up. Jonghyun and Kibum joined us with their suits and we were off to the reservation. They were really friendly with each other, were they already a thing? Taemin must have been thinking the same thing; it looked like he was glaring lasers at the two. But of course, they didn’t notice because they were too busy being themselves. He held onto my hand and we entered the building, classical music soothing the air. Jonghyun went over to the reservation desk and tapped on the bell; Nichkhun and Wooyoung appeared from under,” Oh hello Prince Jonghyun, how can we help you tonight?” Jonghyun pointed towards us and himself,” I have a reservation for all of us; four. At eight sharp. Is our table ready?” The blonde looked through the book and skimmed through names,” Oh, yes. Table six, this way please.” We followed and he handed out menus,” Today, the special is angel hair pasta with steak and fettuccini sauce. Here is a piece of paper to write your orders down when you are ready; Wooyoung will be coming around soon to pick it up.” He winked at Jonghyun and I; I hoped they didn’t take it the wrong way, it was an inside joke. Taemin and I ordered the special, Jonghyun ordered steak, and Kibum ordered chicken alfredo. While we waited for the food we all talked together, which seemed like forever. Talking with all of them has never been so comfortable, there were endless topics, joking, laughing. Like we were a family that hasn’t met for years; it was a good feeling, let’s leave it at that. Kibum noticed that our pictures were spread throughout the restaurant and we told him that every time we came here we took pictures to promote it. This place always had a reservation for us, even on their busiest of days. He nodded and laughed when he spotted a picture of us in the kitchen with stick-on beards; it was Halloween and we were meant to be scary, I guess it didn’t work out.

We settled the bill at the end of the night and we all went home full. But I was sure Jonghyun would be eating once more when we got home. We headed into the bedroom and there was desert at our coffee table, Taemin groaned,” How are we supposed to finish that, too?” He plopped on the bed and I headed over to the table, sticking one in my mouth,” Mmmh, it’s really good Taemin-ah.” He stuck up his index fingers and made them into an ‘x’. I laughed loudly and jumped on the bed repeatedly, his head was bobbing up and down,” Come on Taemin, play with me!” He rubbed his stomach,” I think I’m going to give birth. It’s late, I’m going to sleep.” I stuck my finger in my mouth and bit on it,” Humph. If Taemin plays with me he will get a present, a nice one. Err.” I could never roll my tongue the way everyone else could. His head rolled over to meet my legs and he kissed one lightly,” Does that count as playing?” I pushed him and threw a pillow on top of his head,” No, that’s teasing! Play with me!” He sat up, his eyes were squinting and he scratched his head,” What do you want to play?” I got off and headed into the bathroom; I took the rings out and placed both in one of my hands. I hid it behind my back and thrusted them towards him,” This is a game of luck; if you don’t pick the correct hand then you have to give me something.” He nodded and inspected both my hands, smacking each,” What’s in it? Will I like it?” I nodded and he smirked, he grabbed onto my left hand and I opened it, nothing. He sighed and I opened my right hand to reveal the silver rings, he gasped,” You got those? I thought you said you’d get them later!” I placed both of them on my ring fingers,” Well, now is later. But they are both mine now, Ha!” He shook me,” That’s not fair Choi Minho! You know how much I wanted one! Eh. You are so unfair! I’ll do anything for one of those!” I took one off and spun it in the air,” Anything? Are you sure?” He nodded and I just thought of something important,” Wait. Lee Taemin, will you be my boyfriend?” He looked shocked, even though we’ve been acting like it all day. He sat back down into the bed and fixed his shirt, shifting his hair,” If you give me one of those rings I will.” That was unfair,” What? No, that’s not fair. You still have to do something for me!” He crossed his arms,” Fine. Yes. What do I have to do now?” I grinned,” As my boyfriend, do something for my entertainment. Anything, as long as I’m happy.” He sat me down in the couch and stood up in front of me; he unbuttoned his vest and swung it on the bed. He slipped his bowtie between his mouth and gave me a crazed look,” Oh Choi Minho! This should be enough right?” He is such a tease,” Taemin-ah, you earned your ring.” He took it from my hand and placed it on his ring finger, looking at it from a distance and smiling wide,” I love it! Wait, what does it say . . . 2min? Is that like a couple name?” I looked at the engraving, it was well done,” It’s our couple name, like it?” He climbed next to me and placed his legs over my thighs,” Yes. Absolutely!” He grabbed onto my chest and hugged tightly, squeezing all the energy out of me. I love him so much, I’m glad he’s all mine.
