“Jonghyun? Why are you up so late?”
Jonghyun jumps and hides the notebook behind his back, as his finger hurriedly flips to the last page with lyrics that he wrote a week ago. Jinki takes a seat opposite him and rubs his eyes, a glass of warm milk in his hand. Jonghyun fiddles with his pen and asks, “Can’t sleep?”
Jinki nods and reaches across the table, muttering, “What were you scribbling in there?”
Jonghyun presses his back closer to the chair and shakes his head. Jinki raises an eyebrow, before he tackles Jonghyun to the ground and jabs him at the sides until he surrenders the notebook. Jinki stares at the open page as Jonghyun sits up, rubbing at his elbows. “That really hurt, I’ll have you -“
“Is this for the group?” Jinki asks, as he flips the page and continues reading.
Jonghyun scratches his head and answers, “Not exactly.”
“Oh, is it for one of the Super Junior hyungs then? Cause Yesung-hyung was saying -“
“I wrote it for us. As in, you and me.”
Jinki closes the notebook and exhales, “Oh.”
Jonghyun flails a little and snatches the notebook back, and continues, “It’s just that we haven’t sung anything together ever since the Juliette days. It’s just unfair that Key and Minho get quality time together to work on their rap solos, yet I don’t even get the chance to work with you cause singing is a group thing and not a you-and-me thing.”
A gentle nudge at his side, and Jinki’s fingers intertwined with his. Jinki laughs, “Singing will always be a group thing, but duets are definitely a you-and-me thing.”
Jinki stands and takes his empty glass to the kitchen. Jonghyun turns back to the first page of his notebook, and stares at the messy scrawls written moments ago which are slightly smudged. He picks up his pen, scribbles in a last line, before he tucks the notebook under his arm, takes Jinki’s hand and heads to bed.
