The sounds of the fans were deafening. The bright lights shone in his eyes and made his skin glisten. It had been a wonderful experience to perform for so many fans. Now he was tired, sweaty and thirsty. Onew panted and waved his hand at the screaming shawols. It was time for them to get off stage. He raised the microphone to thank everyone and saw Jonghyun greedily gulping down some water. The boy neared him and Onew gave the bottle a longing look.
"Can I have some too, Jjong?" Onew became aware of his tongue which scraped the inside of his mouth like sandpaper. Jonghyun took another gulp and continuously moved the bottle up and down as Onew tried to reach for it. Had Onew had enough energy left, he would have lunged at the other and forcefully stole it. The slow movements of his hand were easy to dodge. SHINee's leader watched as Jonghyun brought the bottle back up to his mouth. The water was slowly disappearing and soon there would be nothing left.
Determined, Onew continued to follow the bottle’s movements to try and get a hold of it. There was only a little bit left as Jonghyun took a huge gulp and held it in his mouth, acting as if cleaning his mouth with it. He stopped dodging Onew and watched as the male's fingers began to wrap around the plastic object. His arms jerked the bottle back which surprised Onew. He lifted his stare from the bottle to Jonghyun's eyes and was met with a shower containing water and the male's spit.
Onew lowered his head and shook it, slightly thankful for the refreshing water, but not pleased by the way it was offered to him. Jonghyun had by then turned around and started to walk away, finishing the last of the bottle’s content. Onew followed him, his free hand wiping away the fluids on his face. He stared at Jonghyun's back and noticed the male's fast pace; it prevented Onew from catching up to him until they reached the dressing room.
Jonghyun dumped the empty bottle in the trashcan and spread his body on the sofa as he laid down. He was followed by Taemin who promptly sat on his legs and didn't leave until he was forced by Jonghyun's kick. The Magnae landed on the ground and whined about the pain of his behind. Key poked Jonghyun's head with a new bottle of water and scolded him for hurting Taemin, but the laying male didn't seem to care for he pressed his face against the pillow supporting his head. Key huffed and turned back around; he didn't understand what started Jonghyun's terrible attitude.
Minho held out his hand for Taemin to grab and pulled the younger male off the ground. He was going to address Jonghyun as Key had done, but the Magnae shook his head and dragged him over to the other two SHINee members. There were six bottles of water left and Onew quickly claimed two of them. He sat down in a chair in front of the large mirror and began to drink. The first bottle was quickly emptied. Onew's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile and removed the cap of the second bottle.
He watched the others around him as they talked about some memorable moments of the show they had just performed. His eyes slowly shifted to the motionless body laying on the sofa. The urge to go up to him and interrogate Jonghyun grew stronger the longer Onew stared. He stood and walked over, kneeled and took a gulp of the bottle.
"Jonghyun.. Are you okay?" he asked after he swallowed.
A grunt replied his question. Unsatisfied, Onew asked him the same question again. Jonghyun turned his head slightly, one eye now visible to stare at the kneeling male. Neither of them said a thing until Jonghyun turned onto his side with his back facing his leader.
"Yah.. What's the problem? You're acting all weird." Onew sighed and continued to slowly empty the bottle. The sudden move of Jonghyun sitting up and a face nearing his nearly made Onew choke on the liquid. He turned his head to the side and coughed slightly. When he glanced back he saw an angry pair of eyes watching him.
"What were you thinking when clinging to Taemin like that?" Jonghyun's voice lowered to a whisper as his question came to an end. Onew blinked dumbly before remembering he had spent about half a minute with his arms around the Magnae's body as the other sung their song Romantic. Jonghyun crossed his arms, lowering head in the process. It was obvious what he was doing; jealousy was taking over. Onew raised the bottle to his mouth.
It was silent again between the two males and it unnerved Jonghyun; had he been too aggressive? He bit his lower lip, remembering how he spit the water in Onew's face. The other was probably still mad at him for doing that and now Jonghyun had also bluntly asked why he had been embracing the Magnae. He knew Onew was a kind and understanding guy, but there were times even Onew was angry enough to raise his voice. And so Jonghyun waited for the other to speak and defend himself, maybe or probably explain what had really happened. Nothing came and Jonghyun raised his head.
Onew waited. He knew Jonghyun hated silences like this and it would only take a few more seconds before- yes, there it was; Jonghyun began raising his head. Their eyes locked and Onew could faintly see guilt shining through. The other boy looked at him with an hesitating look. It was then that Jonghyun's eyes lowered and saw Onew's puffed cheeks. His eyebrow raised before something wet hit his face.
It was a tiny but strong stream that left Onew's mouth as he emptied it. He smiled and watched as the water dripped down Jonghyun's surprised face.
"That's for assuming I was trying anything funny with our Magnae" he whispered.
Jonghyun wiped most of the water off his face with his hands and grinned slightly. Yeah, he deserved that one. Not only for doing the same without any explanation but also for being so easily jealous. He looked up and wrapped his arms around Onew's shoulders. Onew allowed the other to embrace him. He was relieved by the gesture and felt he had no longer to worry about the previous events.
"I'm sorry." Jonghyun could hit himself in the head for what he had done. Onew who had always taken care of him and the others would not cheat on him like that, not on purpose anyway. The leader deserved more than a splash of water in his face for all he had done up till now. Jonghyun moved his head from Onew's shoulder and their cheeks touched lightly as he pulled back. They stared again, but this time a smile was glowing on Onew's face and a grin was dancing on Jonghyun's.
Onew pushed the other male aside and comfortably seated himself beside him. Jonghyun wrapped his arm loosely around Onew's shoulder as Key's voice rang through the room. Jonghyun stuck out his tongue as Key mocked him for his childish behaviour earlier. Jonghyun knew showing his tongue was not very benefiting, but he could care less at the moment. Onew chuckled beside him and slightly moved closer. There were many things Onew loved about Jonghyun and being childish and spontaneous were just some of those traits on his very long list.
