Chapter 2:
A/N: Chapter 2 is up already!! xD Fast updates are good right?? I'm trying something different now, with changing POV's. Tell me if it works okay? :3
Jonghyun's POV:
After saying goodbye to Kibum, I made my way back to the café, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I don't know why I thought Kibum was so ... interesting, but I could talk to him for hours, without being bored. Or just look at him, that would be good enough too. He sure is good-looking.
But ... that was all there was to it, right? I mean, I couldn't possibly feel anything more for him, we're both guys!
When I came back to the café, I was met by Jinki. He didn't look too happy, to say the least.
"Well, well. Thanks for helping me clean up the place" he said, sarcasticly, while he pointed towards to seating area, which was totally spot-free. "You owe me now, you know?"
I just looked at him, knowing excactly how to be forgiven. "If I buy you fried chicken, will you forgive me then?" I said, arms crossed and my head tilted back a little. I'm so positive, this is going to work.
I could see, how he tried to hide his way too obvious exitement, when I asked him, and it amused me.
"Okay" Jinki said, trying not to smile "But let me pick the place. And please don't let it happen again". I didn't answer his last question, since I knew I wouldn't be able to keep that promise. I guess I'll be buying a lot of chicken from now on.
"By the way" Jinki continued "What is that Kibum guy to you?"
My heart started to beat a little faster than usual, when Jinki said that.
"Uhm we're just friends Jinki" I ended up saying. Not knowing, what else to say. "Why?"
"Well, we're supposed to be best friends, and you've NEVER looked at me, the way you looked at that Kibum guy. So I was just wondering .."
"There's nothing to be wondering about!" I said, before he could end his sentence. "We're just friends, okay?"
I think Jinki gave up on finding out more, since he just sighed and went out the door. Well, it shall be no secret, that I'm stubborn, and he, very well, knows that.
Kibum's POV:
'Ring ding song, ring ding dong~'
I woke up by the sound of my alarm clock, still half asleep, when I put it on snooze. I totally do NOT have the energy to go to school today, but Kibum, the top student, don't ditch school.
I got up and started to make breakfast, when I suddenly remembered, what had happened yesterday. And who I've met. A small smile started to spread on my lips, as I thought of Jonghyun. It has really been a long time, since someone made me feel this way.
I continued on making my food, just before a thought hit me. Why did I feel this way? I've just only met him, and we're both guys. Not that I mind two guys being together, not at all but .. I'm just not like that.
Or am I?
Just then my phone started ringing. I looked at the display, to 'My Taeminnie~" on the screen. I wonder, what he wants this early in the morning.
"Good morning my Taeminnie~" I said in the happiest voice.
"Uhm .. Good morning Kibum" I let out a surprised shout, when I heard Minho's voice in the phone.
"Minho, why are you calling from Taemin's phone this early in the morning? Did something happen?" I said, still in shock.
"I slept over at his place last night, and my phone ran out of power."
It became silent for a moment. I needed some time to adjust to what Minho just said. Not that I didn't expect it though. I just wanted to believe that, my Taemin would stay innocent forever.
"Uh.." was all I could say. I pulled myself together and continued. "So, what do you want?"
"I just wanted to borrow that book you told me about last week. Can you bring it today?"
"Yeah sure, I'll bring it. See you later" I hung up quickly after that. I'm pretty sure I must look like someone, who just saw a ghost or something.
-----
When I arrived at the school, I had one thing on my mind only, and that was to find my Taemin ASAP. I know that other people probably wouldn't make such a big deal out of this, but when it came to my baby Taemin, I guess I could get a bit ... over protective.
I waited by the front gate for about 10 minutes, when I saw Taemin and Minho approaching, hand in hand.
"Good morning hyu.." was all Taemin got to say, before I cut him off.
"TAEMINNIE! How could you?"
Both Taemin and Minho looked at me, and I couldn't decide, which one of them looked more confused.
"Hyung, what are you talking about?" Taemin said, with that innocent smile of his, and for a moment, I almost believed him.
"Don't try to talk your way out of this. I'm positive you know, what I'm talking about." I told him, in a firm voice. I'm pretty sure, that any person, who would witness this, would say that Taemin and I acted like a mother and her child.
Minho looked at him, as if he said 'It's okay', and then Taemin said "Hyung ... You know, Minho and I have been together for over a year now. There's nothing weird about it."
The three of us stood still for a while, and I knew they waited for a response from me.
I calmed myself down inside my head, before saying anything. It was true, there was absolutely nothing wrong, with what they were doing.
"I'm sorry Taeminnie" I finally said. "You're right. I guess I was just a bit surprised."
I could see the corners og his mouth starting to turn upwards, and just like that, I couldn't help, but smile too.
"So, what were you doing yesterday hyung?" Taemin asked. I looked up, and I'm sure they could tell, from the look of my face, no matter how hard I tried to hide it, that something happened, 'cause the next thing I hear is "Who is it?"
I started telling my two friends about Jonghyun, but I made sure to point out, that we were just friends. I don't think they believed me though, as they decided to go to his café with me after school. This was going to be a long day.
3rd person POV:
It was a silent day in the café, and in Jonghyun's opinion, it seemed like the time was passing slower than ever.
"Hey, get that grin off your face, you'll scare away our costumers" Jinki said to Jonghyun.
Taken aback by his friends comment, he just looked at the watch once again. Only 2.15 PM. 'Could this day possibly go any slower?' Jonghyun thought to himself.
------
Kibum, Minho and Taemin arrived at the café later that afternoon. A sweet coffee aroma filled the air, and it didn't take long, before Taemin had his face burried in the menu, to decide which cake to have.
Jonghyun looked at Kibum with a smile on his face, but also with slight confusion.
"Uhm, these are my friends" Kibum explained. "I told them about the café, and they wanted to go really bad."
"Well, I can't complain about gaining costumers" Jonghyun replied, still with a smile. 'Does he ever NOT smile?' Kibum thought to himself, not knowing, how long he could keep it up. 'Cause if he smiled like that all day, it wouldn't take long before Kibum's head had the color of a tomato.
---
"Uhm ... I'll have a strawberry shortcake then" Taemin told Jinki.
"One starwberry shortcake coming up" Jinki answered "So, you're Kibum's friends right?"
Minho and Taemin nodded.
"Have you been noticing it too?" Jinki said in a low voice. "That there's something going on between the two of them?" he pointed towards Jonghyun and Kibum, who had found a place to sit. By the look of Jonghyun's face, anyone would think that Kibum was telling him the most interesting story ever.
"Well, Kibum did act different today" Minho stated. "He wasn't being as diva-like as usual"
"I see. Jonghyun has been acting weird all day too. But I haven't seen him this happy for a long time. Although, he keeps telling me, that they're just friends."
"Hyung does the same" Taemin said, his mouth, still full of cake.
"Yeobo, don't talk with your mouth full" Minho said, handing a tissue to his younger boyfriend.
"So, do you guys wanna help them out?" Jinki said, with a smirk. "If my best friend can be this happy, just by being with that guy for a few hours, it's worth leading them on, don't you think?"
Taemin gave a big smile, causing Minho to laugh as he had strawberry seeds stuck in his teeth.
"Sure" Minho said "So, what's your plan?"
----
Kibum's POV:
"Hey Jonghyun, we're out of milk. Can't you go get some more?" I hear Jinki say from behind the counter. I looked over at Jonghyun, who looked a bit surprised.
"But we just bought a lot 2 days ago. And it haven't really been busy. Are you sure we're out alre.."
"I said, we're out of milk. Go get some"
Jonghyun pouted as he left his seat. I couldn't help but chuckle, looking at his cute expression.
"But isn't it going to be heavy, if Jonghyun-hyung has to carry it all by himself?" I heard Taemin say, and it was directed at me.
"Then, why don't you just come with me Kibum?" Jonghyun said, and I could feel my heart skip a beat. Damn, is that all it takes? To hear his voice?
Embarrased by my body's reaction to Jonghyun's voice, it took me a little while to answer, but a few minutes later, we were on our way to the grocery store.
After walking a while in silence, just like we did yesterday, Jonghyun cleared his throat. As he still didn't say anything though, I decided to take the lead.
"Do you want to say something?"
Jonghyun obviously didn't expect this, and I'm pretty sure I saw his cheeks turning pink. But that must be my imagination right?
"Uhm yeah .. Kibum d-do you ..." this was the first time I've heard him sound nervous.
"Do I what?" I snapped back, getting slightly irritated by his lack of vocabulary.
"Do you have a .. girlfriend?".
"Oh.." I just said. "No. No I don't"
I could see Jonghyun looking relieved, which honestly confused me a little, but now I was really curious about him too.
"What about you?" I asked.
"Nope, me neither" he said, with that usual smile on his face. After this, it was almost like the air around us cleared up, and he then started rambling about, who knows what. Well, one thing's for sure, I didn't. I was way too busy laughing of the things he said, that I didn't hear half of it, and just because it felt so right at the moment, I brushed my hand gently down his arm, while laughing.
After we both realized, that the touch was, probably a little more, than just a friendly touch, the atmosphere turned awkward in an instance. I felt embarrased, as I didn't really mean to do it. I wat just caught in the moment.
We stood still, facing each other in silence. It felt like we stared at each other for minutes, even though it was probably just seconds, and before I had any time to realize it, Jonghyun was only a few inches away from me.
Jonghyun's POV:
After Kibum's sudden touch, we both froze, and the atmosphere turned quite awkward. I didn't really know what to do, so I just stared at him. Stared at his beautiful structured face, his dark captivating eyes and his pink lips.
It seemed like my body acted on its own, as I started walking closer to Kibum. After a few steps, our faces were only inches apart, and his milky skin looked even prettier this close.
Kibum started moving his face closer to mine, and I felt a bit relieved, but he hesitated, and pulled back. I could feel the slight frustration in my body, as he looked down, embarrased. But had he ever looked this cute before?
I simply couldn't take it anymore. I just had to get a taste of those lips, so I put my hands on his cheeks and pulled his face closer to mine. Our lips were now only centimeters apart.
