When I stepped out of my room the next morning , I found Onew hyung with a spoon of cereal wedged in his mouth as he attempted to pour a glass of milk.
“ Morning kiddo ! “
“ Not a kid , JINKI “
“ So I see you’ve have uncovered the secret to my real name, smart are you young jedi “
I burst out laughing and fell to the floor with my hand clutching helplessly at my stomach. Onew hyung was such a Star Wars fan that it drove Key mad, Onew had forced him to go to a convention one day , Key wasn’t worried about going , he was worried about the guy dressed up in full Jedi gear walking next to him.
Picking myself up from the ground I walked to the shelve and took out another bowl , pouring myself my favourite chocolate flavoured cereal pops.
“ How did you know anyway ? Key ? “
I rolled my eyes, if Key had bothered to tell me I would not have found out just last night.
“ MInho, he was here last night , he’s Key’s model “
“ Oh yeah ! He did mention something along the lines of that , how was it ? “
“ How would I know , Key made him go through at least 15 outfit changes all in the same fabric I was too lazy to watch “
He laughed almost choking on is food.
“ You know Tae , you should learn to make friends outside of dance. “
“ whatever “ I rolled my eyes and went back to eating. I never knew why I bothered to eat in the morning. Well it was mostly to keep Key from his incessant nagging and because the cereal was my favourite snack. It was going to come out one way or the other when I reached school, my stomach could never keep my morning meals down. Almost immediately rejecting it every time. I never mentioned it to Key, it was something that had developed when I was in my final years of high school waking up late and not eating mum’s breakfast running out of the door barely making it on time for class.
I had to at least pretend.
“ Good Morning to my two favourite boys ! “
“ I bet I’m second “ I grumbled .
“ I’ll share first with you ! “ Jinki offered earning a smack from me.
“ Break it up you two , I need to leave in 2 minutes have to deliver a few things to the seamstress before class, Jinki you head to school with Taemin alright ? “
He nodded picking up his bowl and mine before dumping them into the dish washer.
“ I won’t be coming back here tonight though, got to grab some stuff from home so I’ll just spend the night there “
Key gave a sad pout before he nodded delivering a kiss to Jinki’s lips.
He grabbed an apple from the fridge and hugged me a little telling me to be safe and that he’d see me tonight.
2 minutes and he was gone out the door . He was always so precise.
--------- -------------- ----------
The walk to school was one I was very pleased with .
Jinki never knew went to shut up , thats what Key said.
I loved the name Jinki cause it put a smile to my face compared to Onew. I was calling him Jinki from hence forth.
So the walk to school he couldn’t stop talking about Minho. I wasn’t complaining, definitely.
Minho hardly had any friends, he was always alone if he wasn’t with Jinki or Key . He didn’t like meeting new people or going to new places. He was most comfortable on the field out in the sun. Extremely competitive despite his shy nature, loosing was simply never an option to him.
When he was in high school , he was a high flyer , everyone wanted to be him or be with him. He had tons of friends, well people who he thought were friends, they actually just wanted him for his popularity. Something happened, Jinki wasn’t sure either Minho refused to tell anyone. He changed after that, keeping to himself , pushing everyone away from him as if he was some kind of freak.
Things didn’t change till he met JInki. Jinki claims he bulldozed into Minho’s life and walked in refusing any signs of protest. It took him 3 months before Minho decided he was okay with being friends. They had been best friends ever since.
“ Did Minho hyung ever tell you what happened ? “
“ No , and I’ll never ask him till he’s ready to tell me. “
Jinki and I reached school , he gave me a pat on the bag and walked off to the performing theatre and I headed to the dance studio.
The entire group of second year dance students had the week off , to come up with their own choreography for the dance recital. It was a performance for the public but a small review for us. We were graded , like a pop quiz in maths. Except you were left entirely to your own devices to get the grade , not text book nothing.
I looked into the studio, it was packed. People sure were getting prepared. Checking the slip of bookings pasted on the door the next slot for practice was 1pm , I looked at my watch it was 9am. Not wanting to get pushed further , I dug for a pen and scribbled my name down for the next session. I couldn’t do it now either , my stomach was demanding to be released.
I ran to the toilet and threw my guts out.
-----------------
The sun was beaming and scorching the floor.
It was still cold .
Winter was immune to the sun.
I looked up from where I was standing .
Right or Left.
Hmmm.
I closed my eyes and made a right. I wanted to feel like I did this unintentionally.
The path ended with a huge flight of stairs running downwards and reaching a huge field.
The stairs were actually the seats.
I have never ever been to the field since I started school here . It was so bloody huge. No wonder our school was know for the sports teams. So much money was pumped into the sports complex, they had to win, it wasn’t even a choice.
Sitting myself down at the top most of the stand, I enjoyed the breeze, Key had given me a thicker coat to wear after he saw me half freezing to death.
“ Don’t you have class ? “
Speak of the devil.
“hyung !”
“ Didn’t think I’d find you here , and again what happen to class”
“ Its cheorography week , but I missed the morning slot “ I glanced at my phone “ need to wait another three hours or more.“
He pulled out a scarf from his bag and wrapped it around my neck. “ You look like you’re freezing, is the jacket warm enough “
I nodded , who needed a boyfriend when you have a brother like Key.
“ What did you come here for , I thought you had stuff to do”
“ I did , their done” Too efficient for his own good “ I’m waiting for Minho , he’s some where amongst that mass of people” he finished pointing to a bunch of guys running around the field.
“ Oh , I thought you guys finished last night “
“ I did, well we did, I just need to let my photographer take some standard shots , so much paper work to do , good thing he’s not professional , there would be way more “
‘ He should be “
“ What? “
My hand ran to my mouth , I did not just say that out loud.
“ nothing “
“ You think he’s hot right ? “
My brother was asking me if I found a guy hot , siblings shouldn’t have this sort of conversation , it just wasn’t normal.
I refused to answer sticking my tongue out and Key and turning back to the massive patch of green.
“ He would be the perfect guy , just that he’s such a mystery sometimes , like he’s always suffering some sort of unseen pain “
“ Mysterious is a bad thing? “
“ Tae-ah , your 18 , mysterious might sound exciting to you , but …. Doesn’t matter , I trust Minho , if you like him go for it , though I might be speaking too soon “
“ Yes you are my dear brother “
The conversation ended there as I leaned towards Key resting my head in his lap. Waiting for time to just drift buy and soon I would be in the studio sweating my ass off .
“ why do you love Jinki Hyung ? “
He ran his finger through my hair and played with the ends.
“ You don’t have a reason for loving someone, imagine if you did and the reason wasn’t there anymore , does that mean there’s nothing worth loving for ? “
He made sense. Like he always did , hell he was my older brother everything he say should make sense if not I’d be in trouble.
“ I guess “
“ Hey look over there !” I turned my head in Key’s lap and looked at the direction he indicated.
Minho was standing at the bottom of the steps , while he hand stretched out waving at us. He signalled to Key that he would walk up and told us to wait for him.
“ Get to know him first , and see if you like it “
“ Hyuuuuuunnnnnnggggg ! “ I whined.
“ what ?! “
“ eeesh just shut up when he’s here okay , pleasee “
“ your so rude sometimes, fine ! “
I got up from my skinny pillow and rubbed my eyes. Minho was running up the steps 2 at a time, he wasn’t even the least tired when he reached us. There had to be like a million steps all the way down , this stadium could fit ALOT of people.
He wasn’t sweaty and icky , he smelt like bath soap and fresh clothes. He smelt nice.
“ Hey Key ! How we getting there ? “ he asked as he flashed me a smile acknowledging my presence . I was keeping that in my head for life. His smile were different , they weren’t natural , a little bit shy , very warm with that small hint of a …..was that a smirk !
“ Well we’re meeting him at the photo studio around 1, I just wanted to run through a few things with you for the actually day , wanna grab lunch ? “ he proceeded to stuff his planner back into his bag before standing up pulling me along with him.
“ Don’t mind , is Taemin joining us ? “
Was he asking me along ? I think I just got swarmed by butterflies.
“ Are you ? “ he asked , his voice was mocking me he was almost laughing at me in my face .
“ I’m free till one , if you don’t mind dragging me along ? “
“ Great lets go , we could grab found at the cafe just out of school “
Key linked arms with me and continued his conversation with Minho , telling him about the photographer and how nice he was , that he didn’t need to worry to much.
----------------------------------------------
At lunch , I was mostly quiet trying to block out Key’s voice that wouldn’t stop. Jinki and him were obviously made for each other what had I been thinking , and I decide to strike out the mental note and continue my lunch.
“ I’ve got a game next week “ suddenly I’m paying attention.
“ If you guys want to go , Jinki said he’ll be coming to cheer us on “
Key flashed him a smile and said that he’d definitely be there , it was the least he could do with Minho being so helpful and willing.
“ I’ll bring Taemin along , I’m sure he’d love to take a break from dance that evening “
My death glare laser was shooting right at Key. Key looks back at me with Immune written all over followed triumphant smirk .
How I hated my brother sometimes, not that I mind going , but I wanted to pretend like I had something to do and then suddenly showing up because that “thing” got cancelled.
I managed a sheepish smile back at Minho .
