SUMMARY: Lee Taemin isn't a normal 17 year old boy. The death of his family has given him a new insight to life, and he is on a mission to change the world. However, he didn't plan on falling in love with Choi Minho, his favourite Korean idol, who loves him more than life itself. But which is more important to him: Being with the one man who can give him a second chance of having a family, or his dream to make the world a better place? If only he could have both...
A/N: It's been ages!! Hopefully you haven't forgotten about it - SORRY. I'm going to be updating this and my new story "Never Look Back" weekly from now on :)
Minho POV
I look at my watch, it's 6 am. Minnie and I fell asleep on the sofa again. It's kind of become a reoccurring theme for us to sleep on sofas - but not tonight. I know that Minnie wants tonight to be special, since it's his last night in Korea.
I carefully shuffle off the sofa, careful not to wake him up. Today's Taemin's last appearance on Melon Music, and we're going to be announcing the concert, as well as our relationship. It feels weird, going public like that. But the staff assure us that it's what the fans want. Our rehearsal is at 10 am, which means I have 4 hours to get everything ready for tonight.
I leave a note for Taemin, telling him I went for a jog and to make himself feel at home until I get back. I feel a bit guilty when I take his keys, but tonight's going to make up for it. I manage to sneak out the dorm without waking him up, and head for the flower shop. That's the first stop, second stop - where the hell do I buy candles? Ugh I should have woken up Key to come and help me. Maybe I'll give him a call.
"Hello?"
"Hyung? Did I wake you?"
"No I've been awake…agh!"
"Awake doing what? Are you okay? You sound weird."
"I'm fi-ine. What d-do you want?"
"Can you come help me? I'm trying to find romantic candles!"
"W-what for? UHH!"
"Ew hyung. Are you seriously having sex at this time in the morning?"
"N-no! I promise you … nnoooooooo sex r-right now!"
"Gross, whatever. Can you just get the hell down here please? I'll text you the address."
"Okay fine, I'm coming."
"No you're not yeobo."
"Not you booboo, you just keep doing that."
"WTF hyung! I'm hanging up RIGHT NOW!"
"I'll be ready in 5 min…"
I cut the phone off. The only two people I want to think about having sex is me and Taemin, tonight. I've decided to break in to his house and cover his whole bed with rose petals and light a few candles around the room. I want it to be absolutely perfect. I want to show him how much I'm going to miss him when he goes to London.
Jonghyun POV
"Hey Onew, where's Key going?" Jonghyun whispered.
"He's gone to help Minho buy stuff for Taemin tonight."
Taemin stirred on the sofa. "Shhh, he's right there you idiot."
"Whoops! What's he doing here?"
"Dunno. But Minho said to make sure he doesn't go home before he gets back."
Onew and I are sitting down at the breakfast table, not sure what we're waiting for. Then we realise that every morning we sit here and wait for Key to make breakfast. I guess we're going to have to fend for ourselves.
"Umm, is cereal okay with you?" I ask him.
"Yeah cereal's fine. So Jjong how's it going with that new guy you're seeing?" he asks me as I get the bowls out.
"You mean Jay? It's going.. well."
"Oh really? Have you met him yet?"
"No."
"Well did you tell him who you are?"
"No."
"So he doesn't know you're Jonghyun from SHINee?" Onew asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Not exactly…"
"So who does he think you are?"
"…. He thinks I'm from Taemin's bible camp."
"Bible camp? JJONG!"
"I couldn't help it!"
"That's funny, I used to go to bible camp."
"What?"
"Yeah but that was ages ago when I was like 10. Anyway why did you lie about something like that?"
"I don't know, I don't know. Hyung help meeeee!!!! I asked Minho but he wasn't any help."
"Why? What did Minho tell you to do?"
"Tell the truth."
"Yeah you should do that."
There was a moment of silence, and then and he suddenly bursts out laughing.
"HAHAHAA no don't do that. Telling the truth gets you nowhere."
"Really hyung?"
"Yeah totally. Do you think half the things I tell Key are the truth?"
"What?" Haha I couldn't believe our leader was advising me to lie.
"I don't mean lie about everything. But a white lie now and then never hurts anyone."
"Really hyung?"
"Well, okay this stays between us. Okay…" he takes a big breathe. "I pretend that I like it when Key irons my underwear, but it's actually really annoying."
I stare at him with a puzzled look on my face, waiting for him to tell me he's joking.
"That's not it! I also told him I like the fabric softener he uses on the laundry even though it smells girlie."
"Ugh hyung you're useless."
"What?!!"
"Don't talk to me…"
"Wait! What's that in your pocket?"
"Oh. It's a mini pocket bible. I went and bought one… just in case."
"Can I see it?"
"Be my guest…"
I hand him my bible, and then go back to my room feeling discouraged. When should I tell Jay the truth? How long can I keep this up for? I'm supposed to call Jay tonight after Melon Music - and this time I'm not going to be unprepared.
I make a list of all the facts about 'Dorian' that I've told him already, and I realise how I've completely created another person.
Facts about Dorianme
1. Went to Bible camp with Taemin
2. Carry around a bible
3. Pray a lot
4. If you pray with a bible in your hands it counts twice as much
5. I was awarded the "God's little messenger" award when I was just 5 years old
6. Last year I spent 8 months in India helping deaf and blind children
7. I have a little brother who is sick
8. I have the chicken pox right now
9. I AM NOT JONGHYUN FROM SHINEE
I take a step back and look at my list. Hmm I kind of like this Dorian guy. I like being him. I like that Jay likes me for me, and not just because I'm famous. Except that he doesn't like me, he likes Dorian. But I am Dorian…. except that I'm not since I'm Jonghyun. Ughh I'm going crraazzzyyy.
My thoughts are interrupted when I hear a knock on my door. I go to open it and an extremely sleepy and confused Taemin is on the other side.
"Morning Taemin!"
"Morning Jonghyun. Sorry if I woke you up."
"No I've been up for some time."
"Umm, do you know where Minho went?"
"You didn't see his note? He left it next to the sofa."
We go over to the sofa, and sure enough there's a note from Minho.
Morning Taemin <3 I hope you
slept well. I went for a jog and thought
that while I'm out I may as well stop
by your house and get your clothes for
you so we can go straight to the show
together when I get back. If you need
anything just ask any of the members.
Though stay away from Onew, he's
scary in the mornings. I'll see you soon!
Love Minho <3 <3 <3 xxxxxxxxxx
I make a puking sound showing how much I protest against the cheesiness of Minho's note, but Taemin doesn't notice. He's too busy re-reading the note and smiling like a kid in a candy store.
"Earth to Taemin!!"
"Ohh hehe sorry. Well I think I should go home anyway. I need to wash up and I slept in these clothes. I need a change."
Minho told me to keep him here. "Wait Taemin, Minho wrote in the note that he's bringing clothes for you and you can wash up here."
"Yeah but how's he going to get in to my apartment when I have the keys?" He checks his pockets and then realise that his keys are gone. "Or not."
"I think Minho took them this morning. He probably just didn't want to wake you."
"Well I think I'm going to go home anyway, I keep a spare key under the mat."
"No Taemin wait. I need your advise!"
"Well I um…"
"Please please pretty please?"
"Okay I guess. Advise on what?"
I already know he's going to tell me to tell Jay the truth. I'm only bothering to ask him to keep him from going home. Minho owes me one.
So I tell him what's going on with Jay. How I lied to him because I was scared. About our phone calls. About how Jaebeom only likes me because he thinks I'm someone else. And then I showed him the list. The whole time he kept quiet, listening to me and now he's quietly reading the list with a completely neutral look on his face.
"I know I messed up. And now I'm in so deeply I just don't know what to do. I asked Minho for help and he told me to tell the truth. Onew told me to keep going but I'm completely confused and the problem is I really actually am starting to like him and not like him like in the beginning because I just wanted to prove that I could make him like me but now I really like him because he's completely honest and real and doesn't care about being famous and now I've gone and screwed everything up and I'm just a stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupi…"
"Okay Jonghyun. Shush." There he goes with that tone again. When he was giving me advise on getting over Key he had the same tone. It was one of someone really old and wise who had years of experience in counselling. "Now take a deep breath."
I do as he says, and rush of oxygen reaches my brain and actually relaxes me. Wow this guy's good.
"First of all, are you sure you like him? I mean, do you like him enough to do what it takes to have him like you."
"Yeah that's why I lied to him."
"No, you lied to him because you wanted to prove you could get him to like you. But then you said you started actually having feelings for him. I'm asking how strong those feelings are."
I try and think about how much I like Jay. My mind races back to the conversations I've had with him over the phone.
"Even though I'm pretending to be someone I not, I kind of feel like I can be myself when I talk to him. But that's stupid isn't it."
"No it's not stupid Jonghyun. And you've pretty much known from the beginning that the only way you guys could really be together is if you tell the truth haven't you?"
"Yeah I guess…"
"Look I know it's hard and it sucks that you had to lie in the first place. But you told me that he doesn't care about idols. Wel,l personally the fact that Minho's an idol doesn't make me like him. It's actually kind of a downfall. But since I told myself that social images and stuff don't matter, then the fact that Minho's an idol doesn't change anything. I like him for him. And I know Jaebeom, even though he doesn't like the band SHINee he wouldn't judge you just because you're a member."
"I see your point. But what can I do now? Even if he doesn't care that I'm in SHINee he'd still hate me because I lied to him."
"You don't know that. He'd obviously be hurt, and angry at first. But imagine that it was the other way round. If he did it to you, you'd be really pissed off at first. But after he tells you the truth, wouldn't you give him a chance? Wouldn't you want to get to know the real him?"
"I dunno."
"Tell him Jonghyun. You know there's no chance between you and him if you don't. You'll have to listen to him and Dorian have long conversations over the phone, but they'll never meet. You'll never meet that way. You know nothing can grow from that."
"Yeah…"
"So are you going to tell him the truth?"
"Yeah…"
"Good. Don't worry Jonghyun I'll put in a good word for you. Just make sure he knows how sorry you are, and how you told him the truth because you really like him."
"Okay…" I say reluctantly. I know he's right but I still don't want to tell the truth. Although Taemin pretty much told me I have no choice.
"Well I'm going to go home to change and…"
And then the door bursts open and Minho and Key burst through. Looks like my job here is done.
Key POV
"You took your time." Minho says to me as I walk towards him.
"Hey, I'm here to help you! Be nice."
"Okay sorry. But help meeee! I bought flowers and I'm going to sprinkle the petals over his bed. And now I want candle and I don't know where to get them."
"You're so lucky you called me. First of all we're going back to the flower shop and returning those ugly yellow flowers you have there. We're getting red roses. DUH!"
"What's wrong with these flowers?" He had a bunch of bright yellow, weird smelling flowers in his hand. Doesn't he know that if you want to be romantic you have to go with red roses all the way?
"Shush Key speaks. And then we'll go to this lovely little shop I know that sells these really nice scented candles."
"You can get candles that smell?"
"I said shush. And we'll also get new bedsheets. Beautiful embroidered white ones, or cream ones. Do you know what size his bed is?"
"No. Big I think."
"Well this won't do! Okay tell you what. I'll go and get the candles and bedsheets. You go change those ugly flowers for red roses and I'll meet you back at Minnie's place. Call me when you get there so you can tell me what size his bed is."
"Thanks hyung!"
"You only call me hyung when I'm doing you a favour!" He just ignores me and runs off to the flower shop.
I go and buy the candles, and while I wait for Minho to text me the size of the bed I decide to buy some romantic music as well. Since this is going to be Taemin's first time, he'll be nervous and music always makes things less awkward. After Minho texts me Taemin's bed dimensions, I buy the bed sheets and quickly head towards his house. I racked up quite a bill with all that I bought, but Minho said Minnie was worth it.
When I get there we set everything up. We change his bedsheets (which were horrible power ranger ones) lay the roses petals out, set up the candles and put the music in his music player. It looks absolutely perfect.
"Are you nervous for tonight Minho?"
"A bit. But I'm more excited. And kind of sad. It's his last night in Korea."
"Don't worry little one. These things always work themselves out. What times the rehearsal for Melon Music again?"
"In about 2 hours."
"Okay. So it's going to be Taemin giving his message, and then we're going to appear and announce the concert right?"
"Right. And manger hyung said it's okay for me and Taemin to go public. I don't know how though. Manager hyung is going to be there at the rehearsal to tell us exactly what to do. "
"Sounds good to me. Well we're done here, should we go back?"
"Yeah. Oh help me pick out clothes for him to wear today."
I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, a big grey jacket with puffy shoulders with a plain white t-shirt.
"He'll look good in this." I tell him, although Minho would probably think Taemin would look good in anything. That's what love does to you.
We head back to the dorm. Taemin's up now and he's at the breakfast table talking with Jonghyun.
"Oh guys thank god you're back."
"Now, now Jjong don't use the lord's name in vein." Minho teases him.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"Nothing. Shut up Minho you should be nice to me - especially since I just kept…"
"Okaayy okay, I'm not saying anything. Hi Taemin!" Minho goes to hug Taemin. Good they're getting more comfortable with each other.
"Morning Minho. You know, someone stole my keys this morning."
"Oh really? Now who would do a thing like that."
"I don't know, you tell me!"
"Someone who's gonna miss you so much when you leave me stole it."
"Aigoo you guys are soo cute!!" I say, and then I hit Jonghyun on the arm for making puking faces. "By the way where's my booboo? BOOOBOOO!!"
"I'm here yeobo!" He shouts from the bedroom. Oh good, maybe we can quickly finish off what we started this morning, until Minho so rudely interrupted us. I go in to his bedroom, only to find him hunched over on his bed, reading some kind of book.
"What do you have there?" I ask him as I give him a giant back hug.
"The Bible."
"What? Where'd you get that from?"
"Jonghyun."
"Why does Jonghyun have a bible?"
"Shhush I'm reading." WHAT? He can't shush me. I decide to get revenge on him by arousing him then refusing to go any further, which is how I always punish him. Then he apologises and I let him pound me hehe, but only if the apology is reeaallly good.
I start to run my hands all over his chest, putting my fingers through the holes in his button down shirt from behind him. I trace his neck with kisses, trying to get him to turn around and face me. "Onew turn around!" I whine.
"One second yeobo."
"ONE SECOND? Are you seriously telling me you're more in to that bible than me?"
"No yeobo it's just that… I'm reading the chapter on the 10 commandments. You know what I mean?"
"What?"
"You know the 10 commandments that God sent to Moses?"
"NO I don't know the 10 commandments you stupid retard why are we talking about god when I'm trying to make love to you! And why the hell do you know about the 10 commandments?"
"I used to go to bible camp. Anyway that doesn't matter. Well it does… I mean after reading this I was kind of thinking…"
"Oh no you don't! Don't go all religious on me!!"
"Sex is a precious thing…"
"Don't make me angry…"
"I just think we should be taking it slow."
"You're really making me angry!!" I know I look really scary right now. My fists and clenched tightly and my face has gotten bright red. My mouth is twitching as well and my eyes might as well be shooting lasers.
"I'm just saying that until we're married…" he says timidly.
"I WILL NEVER MARRY YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME RIGHT NOW!"
"Kibum keep your voice down!"
I'm really angry now. Really really really really really really pissed off.
"I WILL NOT KEEP MY VOICE DOWN YOU SON OF A B****"
Taemin POV
We hear Key swearing in Onew's room. Either they're having really kinky sex or Onew's in trouble, and I'm guessing it's number two. Suddenly I hear a massive crash, and Onew yelps in pain.
"Shouldn't we go check if they're alright?" I ask Minho and Jonghyun.
"Nah just leave them." Jonghyun tells me. "Onew probably dug his own grave."
"If you say so. You brought me clothes Minho?"
"Yeah. I was going to pass your house on the way to the park anyway so I thought I'd get them. I hope you don't mind."
"Hehehe no I think it was sweet of you to get them for me."
"Well it was my pleasure." he says, coming close to me and putting his arms around my waist.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." He leans in for a sweet kiss, but I surprise him but sticking my tongue in his mouth - though it's obvious that he's enjoying the intrusion since he pulls me closer towards him.
"Uhm… you guys. I'M STILL HERE!" Jonghyun shouts at us. But we ignore him and stomps off to his room muttering something about how a no good frog doesn't even thank him for his efforts… I couldn't really tell.
I decide not to let the kiss deepen since I wanted to save everything for tonight.
"Do you mind if I take a shower?" I ask pulling away from him.
"Awwww can't we make out some more first?" he moans.
"We can. But later."
"Fine. Take a shower, use anything in there. Oh unless it has a label saying 'Key's things - you touch, you die'."
"He labels his things?"
"I have to, they're expensive." A frustrated Key stomps out of the room. "And FYI, no one talk to Onew anymore."
"Okay, but if hyung asks tell him i protested a little." Minho jokes.
"I heard that!" Onew shouts sulkily from inside the room.
"SHUTUP YOU BIBLE LOVER!" Key shouts back to him. I don't even bother to ask at this stage.

Onew told me to keep going but I'm completely confused and the problem is I really actually am starting to like him and not like him like in the beginning because I just wanted to prove that I could make him like me but now I really like him because he's completely honest and real and doesn't care about being famous and now I've gone and screwed everything up and I'm just a stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupi…"
"Okay Jonghyun. Shush." There he goes with that tone again. When he was giving me advise on getting over Key he had the same tone. It was one of someone really old and wise who had years of experience in counselling. "Now take a deep breath."
I do as he says, and rush of oxygen reaches my brain and actually relaxes me. Wow this guy's good.
"First of all, are you sure you like him? I mean, do you like him enough to do what it takes to have him like you."
"Yeah that's why I lied to him."
"No, you lied to him because you wanted to prove you could get him to like you. But then you said you started actually having feelings for him. I'm asking how strong those feelings are."
I try and think about how much I like Jay. My mind races back to the conversations I've had with him over the phone.
"Even though I'm pretending to be someone I not, I kind of feel like I can be myself when I talk to him. But that's stupid isn't it."
"No it's not stupid Jonghyun. And you've pretty much known from the beginning that the only way you guys could really be together is if you tell the truth haven't you?"
"Yeah I guess…"
"Look I know it's hard and it sucks that you had to lie in the first place. But you told me that he doesn't care about idols. Wel,l personally the fact that Minho's an idol doesn't make me like him. It's actually kind of a downfall. But since I told myself that social images and stuff don't matter, then the fact that Minho's an idol doesn't change anything. I like him for him. And I know Jaebeom, even though he doesn't like the band SHINee he wouldn't judge you just because you're a member."
"I see your point. But what can I do now? Even if he doesn't care that I'm in SHINee he'd still hate me because I lied to him."
"You don't know that. He'd obviously be hurt, and angry at first. But imagine that it was the other way round. If he did it to you, you'd be really pissed off at first. But after he tells you the truth, wouldn't you give him a chance? Wouldn't you want to get to know the real him?"
"I dunno."
"Tell him Jonghyun. You know there's no chance between you and him if you don't. You'll have to listen to him and Dorian have long conversations over the phone, but they'll never meet. You'll never meet that way. You know nothing can grow from that."
"Yeah…"
"So are you going to tell him the truth?"
"Yeah…"
"Good. Don't worry Jonghyun I'll put in a good word for you. Just make sure he knows how sorry you are, and how you told him the truth because you really like him."
"Okay…" I say reluctantly. I know he's right but I still don't want to tell the truth. Although Taemin pretty much told me I have no choice.
"Well I'm going to go home to change and…"
And then the door bursts open and Minho and Key burst through. Looks like my job here is done.
Key POV
"You took your time." Minho says to me as I walk towards him.
"Hey, I'm here to help you! Be nice."
"Okay sorry. But help meeee! I bought flowers and I'm going to sprinkle the petals over his bed. And now I want candle and I don't know where to get them."
"You're so lucky you called me. First of all we're going back to the flower shop and returning those ugly yellow flowers you have there. We're getting red roses. DUH!"
"What's wrong with these flowers?" He had a bunch of bright yellow, weird smelling flowers in his hand. Doesn't he know that if you want to be romantic you have to go with red roses all the way?
"Shush Key speaks. And then we'll go to this lovely little shop I know that sells these really nice scented candles."
"You can get candles that smell?"
"I said shush. And we'll also get new bedsheets. Beautiful embroidered white ones, or cream ones. Do you know what size his bed is?"
"No. Big I think."
"Well this won't do! Okay tell you what. I'll go and get the candles and bedsheets. You go change those ugly flowers for red roses and I'll meet you back at Minnie's place. Call me when you get there so you can tell me what size his bed is."
"Thanks hyung!"
"You only call me hyung when I'm doing you a favour!" He just ignores me and runs off to the flower shop.
I go and buy the candles, and while I wait for Minho to text me the size of the bed I decide to buy some romantic music as well. Since this is going to be Taemin's first time, he'll be nervous and music always makes things less awkward. After Minho texts me Taemin's bed dimensions, I buy the bed sheets and quickly head towards his house. I racked up quite a bill with all that I bought, but Minho said Minnie was worth it.
When I get there we set everything up. We change his bedsheets (which were horrible power ranger ones) lay the roses petals out, set up the candles and put the music in his music player. It looks absolutely perfect.
"Are you nervous for tonight Minho?"
"A bit. But I'm more excited. And kind of sad. It's his last night in Korea."
"Don't worry little one. These things always work themselves out. What times the rehearsal for Melon Music again?"
"In about 2 hours."
"Okay. So it's going to be Taemin giving his message, and then we're going to appear and announce the concert right?"
"Right. And manger hyung said it's okay for me and Taemin to go public. I don't know how though. Manager hyung is going to be there at the rehearsal to tell us exactly what to do. "
"Sounds good to me. Well we're done here, should we go back?"
"Yeah. Oh help me pick out clothes for him to wear today."
I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, a big grey jacket with puffy shoulders with a plain white t-shirt.
"He'll look good in this." I tell him, although Minho would probably think Taemin would look good in anything. That's what love does to you.
We head back to the dorm. Taemin's up now and he's at the breakfast table talking with Jonghyun.
"Oh guys thank god you're back."
"Now, now Jjong don't use the lord's name in vein." Minho teases him.
"What?" I ask, confused.
"Nothing. Shut up Minho you should be nice to me - especially since I just kept…"
"Okaayy okay, I'm not saying anything. Hi Taemin!" Minho goes to hug Taemin. Good they're getting more comfortable with each other.
"Morning Minho. You know, someone stole my keys this morning."
"Oh really? Now who would do a thing like that."
"I don't know, you tell me!"
"Someone who's gonna miss you so much when you leave me stole it."
"Aigoo you guys are soo cute!!" I say, and then I hit Jonghyun on the arm for making puking faces. "By the way where's my booboo? BOOOBOOO!!"
"I'm here yeobo!" He shouts from the bedroom. Oh good, maybe we can quickly finish off what we started this morning, until Minho so rudely interrupted us. I go in to his bedroom, only to find him hunched over on his bed, reading some kind of book.
"What do you have there?" I ask him as I give him a giant back hug.
"The Bible."
"What? Where'd you get that from?"
"Jonghyun."
"Why does Jonghyun have a bible?"
"Shhush I'm reading." WHAT? He can't shush me. I decide to get revenge on him by arousing him then refusing to go any further, which is how I always punish him. Then he apologises and I let him pound me hehe, but only if the apology is reeaallly good.
I start to run my hands all over his chest, putting my fingers through the holes in his button down shirt from behind him. I trace his neck with kisses, trying to get him to turn around and face me. "Onew turn around!" I whine.
"One second yeobo."
"ONE SECOND? Are you seriously telling me you're more in to that bible than me?"
"No yeobo it's just that… I'm reading the chapter on the 10 commandments. You know what I mean?"
"What?"
"You know the 10 commandments that God sent to Moses?"
"NO I don't know the 10 commandments you stupid retard why are we talking about god when I'm trying to make love to you! And why the hell do you know about the 10 commandments?"
"I used to go to bible camp. Anyway that doesn't matter. Well it does… I mean after reading this I was kind of thinking…"
"Oh no you don't! Don't go all religious on me!!"
"Sex is a precious thing…"
"Don't make me angry…"
"I just think we should be taking it slow."
"You're really making me angry!!" I know I look really scary right now. My fists and clenched tightly and my face has gotten bright red. My mouth is twitching as well and my eyes might as well be shooting lasers.
"I'm just saying that until we're married…" he says timidly.
"I WILL NEVER MARRY YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME RIGHT NOW!"
"Kibum keep your voice down!"
I'm really angry now. Really really really really really really pissed off.
"I WILL NOT KEEP MY VOICE DOWN YOU SON OF A B****"
Taemin POV
We hear Key swearing in Onew's room. Either they're having really kinky sex or Onew's in trouble, and I'm guessing it's number two. Suddenly I hear a massive crash, and Onew yelps in pain.
"Shouldn't we go check if they're alright?" I ask Minho and Jonghyun.
"Nah just leave them." Jonghyun tells me. "Onew probably dug his own grave."
"If you say so. You brought me clothes Minho?"
"Yeah. I was going to pass your house on the way to the park anyway so I thought I'd get them. I hope you don't mind."
"Hehehe no I think it was sweet of you to get them for me."
"Well it was my pleasure." he says, coming close to me and putting his arms around my waist.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." He leans in for a sweet kiss, but I surprise him but sticking my tongue in his mouth - though it's obvious that he's enjoying the intrusion since he pulls me closer towards him.
"Uhm… you guys. I'M STILL HERE!" Jonghyun shouts at us. But we ignore him and stomps off to his room muttering something about how a no good frog doesn't even thank him for his efforts… I couldn't really tell.
I decide not to let the kiss deepen since I wanted to save everything for tonight.
"Do you mind if I take a shower?" I ask pulling away from him.
"Awwww can't we make out some more first?" he moans.
"We can. But later."
"Fine. Take a shower, use anything in there. Oh unless it has a label saying 'Key's things - you touch, you die'."
"He labels his things?"
"I have to, they're expensive." A frustrated Key stomps out of the room. "And FYI, no one talk to Onew anymore."
"Okay, but if hyung asks tell him i protested a little." Minho jokes.
"I heard that!" Onew shouts sulkily from inside the room.
"SHUTUP YOU BIBLE LOVER!" Key shouts back to him. I don't even bother to ask at this stage.
