“Please read my friend's palm and tell him the future”
Jinki winces. Why was he here again? Oh right. Because unlike him, Kibum didn't have a life, so he just had to lug him along to meet this weirdo person wearing a black cloak. Jinki couldn't even say whether it was man or a woman. The tent they were in was freakishly dark and gloomy too.
A hand was extended towards him out of the cloak. Jinki glares at Kibum who smiles at him wickedly.
“Give him your hand, Jinki.”
“It's going to be really fun” is what he was told when he got dragged out of his house by a high-strung Kibum, which had ruined his daily morning coffee routine and his plans of spending the last day of the holidays in bed, blissfully sleeping. Jinki had begged the younger male to leave him alone for at least this one day. He had enough fun already (Kibum took him to everywhere he went) and he all he wanted was to just sleep. But Kibum always got what he wanted.
Jinki uncertainly glanced at the hand clearly too big to be a woman's, that was waiting for his, and scratched his chin. He didn't understand why this guy was all covered up in black and stuff. He definitely wasn't the one to believe in palm reading or any shits like that. The only reason he was here was because of one Kim Kibum.
The fingers of the hand wiggled, telling him to hurry up. Jinki shot the shady figure a hesitant look before placing his hand on the others. There was a sigh from him which sort of creeped Jinki out, to say the least.
“Jinki” the hooded man spoke for the first time. His voice was almost whisper-like making the atmosphere rather dramatic. “Your name is Lee Jinki, right?”
Jinki nods surprised, yet not impressed.
“Suits you well enough.” A pause. “You're not very stable are you Jinki?”
“What?”
Then came an amused chuckle,“Physically, I mean. You're so clumsy that you tend to trip on thin air at least once a day.”
He felt like he heard a snicker coming from his side. He decides to ignore it.
“It’s not necessary for you to be here” said the voice to Kibum, who looked slightly taken aback “You can wait outside the tent until I'm finished with Jinki”
Kibum rolled his eyes and leaves Jinki with the man like he was told. Jinki was surprised. He was expecting Kibum to strangle the life out of the man until he apologized.
“I don't want any nuisance interrupting me when I'm with you”
Jinki squinted quizzically at the man.
“I mean, when I'm with any of my customers. Not just you”
Jinki let it go.
“Can you like, hurry up? I have a very important thing to do.” he said nodding at his hand that was held by the other, trying to not sound too rude.
The man brought his other hand and traced his finger along the lines on Jinki's palm, making him ticklish. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The man though, ignored it.
“You've always came either first or second in the whole school. You like chicken. You're loved and admired by everyone for your kindness and friendliness. You're loyal and generous. You make people fall for you without having to do anything but simply smiling at them. There are people who treasure your smiles and adore your laughs. They crave for your attention but you barely even acknowledge them because you're that naïve”
Jinki gaped. This was definitely Kibum pulling a prank on him. He knows it. The boy has done it before. He's probably giving this guy money too.
“You're thinking I've been told to do this by your friend” the man states with a low chuckle following after.
Jinki obviously surprised at the words,cleared his throat in embarrassment.
“How would I know if you're not?” he asks.
(In his head, Jinki can imagine Kibum saying something like “Ew Jinki, please. I'd never pay anyone to say all those gross things he just said to you”)
“Then how about this,” said the hooded man, “I'll tell you something that you would never want anyone to know about. A secret that you have been keeping for a long, long time.”
Jinki had many secrets that he kept to himself. So he agrees.
“You've had drunken sex once with a random boy you met at the school ball last year.” the man paused and clicked his tongue “And you liked it.”
Jinki's mouth hanged open as he gawked at the other in terror.
“He was wearing a mask so you couldn't see who he was.” he continued, “You never bothered to ask for his name, even. You really didn't care because it felt good.”
“That's not true!” Jinki exclaimed, suddenly getting angry.
“What isn't?”
“I did care! I- I still do!”
“You do?” asked the man curiously, after a moment or two passed between them.
“Yes. I wanted to know who he was. But when I woke up, he was nowhere to be seen. So I thought.. I thought what he wanted from me was just sex.” Jinki said hanging his head low in despair.
The man didn't speak for quite a while. But his fingers still fingers kept on stroking Jinki's palm. And Jinki let him.
“You're going to meet him again.”
Jinki's head snapped up quickly.
“Really?”
He got a nod as a reply.
“Where does it say that?” Jinki brings his palm to his face.
The same amused chuckle was heard once more.
“Only I am able to see it”
Jinki's face splits into a smile, however it disappears just as it came.
“How would I know it is him? I've never seen his face”
Jinki licked his lips nervously. The other man remained quiet, like he was thinking deep.
“Well then Jinki,”, he finally said “would you like to know his name?”
“Yes!” Jinki quickly replied grasping both of the other's hands in his own. Perhaps he had been wrong. Perhaps this person really had the ability to read palms and foresee things.
“Then let me read your lips. Lips are more precise than palms”, confided the voice behind the dark hood.
Jinki nodded. He's never heard of anything called lips reading before. But if this was the only way to find the solution to his problem that has been haunting him for the past year, then he was ready to do it. If the guy needed extra money for this, he was going to pay it too. He can survive without chicken this week.
The hand that was holding Jinki's palm now came to cup his chin and pulled his face forward.
“Come a little closer”, the man breathed.
With two of his fingers, he tugged on Jinki's bottom lip . Even though their faces were more than close to each other, Jinki still failed to make out the man's features. But he certainly felt the other's intense stare on his face, or rather, his lips.
Jinki swallowed hard. Something was just not right about the position they were currently in.
“Can I come in now?” Kibum shouts from outside, sounding irritated as hell.
Jinki blinked at the man, his heart suddenly going faster than the normal at their close proximity. He points a finger towards the entrance of the tent helplessly, hoping the other man would get the message.
“It's Jonghyun.” whispered the man when Jinki attempted to speak.“Don't forget Jinki. Jonghyun is his name.”, he repeated, letting go of Jinki's lip.
The name echoed in Jinki's ears like a mantra.
“You may go now. I'm looking forward to see you again”
“I'm seeing you again?”
“You're definitely seeing me again”, he says with a slight laugh. “Bye for now.”
Jinki got up looking completely dazed and walked past a pissed off Kibum who entered the tent stamping his feet.
“Kim Jonghyun! What exactly were you thinking of doing to my best friend just now?” Kibum screeched at the man in the cloak when Jinki was out of the tent.
“What? He looked so cute when he licked his lips, I couldn't help it.” From out of the hood, came out a blonde head and a pair of pouting lips. “He is going to be my boyfriend in a few days time anyway”
Kibum rolled his eyes. “We'll see about that. You're not allowed to touch him until he agrees to go out with you”, he warns aiming a pointed look at Jonghyun.“But I have to admit, you're not that much of a terrible actor as I thought you'd be. I think Jinki looks convinced enough.”
Obviously, thought Jonghyun. All that stalking Jinki for a whole year was not for nothing.
“What did you tell Jinki when I was outside?”, Key demanded by putting a hand around Jonghyun's shoulder.
Jonghyun smirks at him and singsongs, “That's for me to know and you to find out. Now get the hell out of here before Jinki gets suspicious” He skilfully got out of the disappointed boy's hold and pushed on his back, guiding him to the way out.
Key scowls at him before disappearing through the tent flap.
“Hey Kibum! Thanks for letting me touch him.” Jonghyun shouted, grinning madly and taking off the hideous costume he was in. “I think I'm going to have beautiful dreams today”
After a second Kibum's head poked back in.
“You're a sad being, Jonghyun”, he says pulling out a disgusted face and ran away to catch up with his best friend.
Jonghyun looked at his hand that was holding Jinki's one seconds ago. He can't help but smile thinking about Jinki's reaction when he is going to appear in his class next week and introduces himself.
“C-Can I have my clothes back now?” a trembling voice pleaded from the corner. “This is my only way to make money”
A/N: I was originally planning to write four drabbles. (Onew with each members) But I do not know how to write a damn drabble! Every time I try to write one it ends up like this. Like wth? This was not supposed to be like this at all! >_< Now I think the title doesn't really relate to the story :/
And OMG did anyone watch that 'My Tram Experience' video?!?! O_O

“Can I come in now?” Kibum shouts from outside, sounding irritated as hell.
