a/n: I'm late. I know.
" Jjongie, do you know that you have a cousin?"
Jonghyun titled, eyes going round like a puppy.
" Who's he, daddy?"
" He lives in Seoul. He's handsome, talented, smart, and every blessing this world has seems to belong to him."
" Is he like a superman?"
" He's much, much cooler than a superman, Jjongie. You will like him once we move to Seoul."
At that time, Jonghyun's eyes sparkled with frickles in his orbs, grinning a child like smile wide.
Jonghyun stared throughout Choi Residence's park, chilly winds calling his sense back for his life. He breathed out, feeling the cold weather as a sign of the coming winter stroke his skin. A puff of breath whiffed out of his mouth, escaping free to the cold air. Jonghyun looked up to the sky, gazing longingly to past scene rushing in his brain a moment ago. Jonghyun spat onto the ground below and cleared his throat loud.
For a moment, he wished a shithole could wide open and eat him alive right in place.

" Hyung," Taemin coud not hide his amazement, " You're really going here."
Key rolled his eyes and scoffed. " I know. I came to see the idiot man ever exsisted. Where's he?" Behind him Jinki popped his head with a big grin twitching on his lips. " Hey, Taeminnie."
" Hyung!" Taemin jumped for a hug, both arms clasping the other man's torso, he smiled childishly against Jinki's fabric enfolding his chest. Jinki patted Taemin's auburn lock softly, inhaling the boy's scent whom he already considered as his lovely dongsaeng. Key crinkled his smile, giggling to their cute, adorable moment. After precious seconds later, they broke their hug and three of them brought the attention now to the limp sick honorable young master over there, laying helplessly on the king sized bed, he waved a weak 'hello' by his hand. Key dragged his feet to his impatience and delivered a gruff smack right on Minho's head.
" You stupid!" Key yelled his voice out to the loudest rate of his note while sending a rage glare to Minho, signaling another tantrum going to glide out. " AND SILLY. DO YOU KNOW HEALTH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS?!" and from afar, Minho swore he was just hearing a small chuckle and gasp for being caught, it was no other but Taemin's.
Minho sighed. Sometimes Key was too much as a guy.. he resembled to a ferocious mother figure more. Minho intended to apologize but was cut off when another slap was flown on his scalp, emerging a poignant pain. Minho huffed with eyes even bigger glaring at Key, and shouted, " Yah! What was that for?!"
" FOR BEING RECKLESS. I HATE SICK STUPID GUY."
As the return, Minho's face told 'bsdjhsjdsakl' expression but he was mum in silence, not daring enough to oppugn back, so at the end he only murmured, " I just ran after Taemin to make sure he was safe."
Key formed a small "o" to his disbelief and confirmed, " By running?" Minho nodded firmly. Key slapped his forehead once and let out a leery sigh of his nostrils. " Do you know the existance of TAXIS and PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION or even YOUR TONS OF CARS?" Key's snapped an 'aren't-you-a-guy-with-abudant-wealth' look on Minho's stupidity.
" .. No."
Sometimes idiot and genius make a slight difference in between.
Jinki elbowed Taemin to his arm, mouthing a question, " Is he always that stupid?"
" .. Don't know." or it doesn't make even better compared to Jinki's sangtaeness.
Key slumped down next to Minho and placed his palm on Minho's forehead, examining the temperature, he sighed in relief. " This is not a severe cold. You just need a rest, big baby," Key suggested as if he was talking with his baby-like son. Minho grimaced a soothing beam and punched Key's shoulder playfully. " I'm all ok."
Key then brought out a giving in smile of defeat. " I know."
And Taemin could not restrain a smile growing wider on his face.
Minho's eyes swept whole of his room with frown ruckling in its obvious. " I thought Jonghyun was here."
What Key noticed next is, Taemin's smile was vanished from his face.
.
.

" I'm going now," Key bid a farewell as he linked his arm with Jinki's, giving a last sign before drifted off. Key threw a truculent glare to Minho, narrowing his eyes and snuffled loud. " You'd better take a rest, man."
Minho laughed like it was his way of saying 'okay'. Key chortled and tightened the linking, he caused Jinki bumping his shoulder against Key's. " See you two tomorrow." was he said before he slipped out behind the door.
" Wait!" came shrieking voice from inside, " Let me take you two!" And Taemin chase after them in such adorable steps, urging Key to pinch him right on the spot but he restrained himself to. Instead, he pulled out his hand and took Taemin's palm. " Okay," Key grinned as he ruffled Taemin's hair. They continued walking to the main door when Jonghyun was about to pass them in his mid-walk. Jonghyun raised his brow. " Guests?"
Taemin didn't know how to react so he merely nodded in quiet. Key realized the Taemin's shifted gaze but he said nothing.
Five good seconds later Jonghyun recognized the face of pretty and fabulous diva before him and smiled. " Oh, hello there, Kim Key."
Key then returned a smile to his formality too. " Hi there, sir Jonghyun." Key just recalled Minho's words the day before about this guy might be hitting on Taemin, so he put his self-concious to the dino-look-alike boy a little. Jonghyun walked toward the little boy, staring him for Taemin didn't know how long, and after felt like forever, Jonghyun smacked Taemin's shoulder comically earning a small whimper from the younger boy. Jonghyun smirked. " You look horrible when your face chrunched." which was replied with "shut up" from Taemin's pouting mouth.
Somehow the awkward atmosphere thawed little and a chuckle followed echoing in air, though according to Key it was still making no different. Jonghyun smiled. " I'm gonna accompany you along." he offered.
Taemin wanted to refuse but Jonghyun already grabbed his wrist in second blink with a friendly smile shown radiantly. Key gritted his teeth but stayed as cool as possible after Jinki kneaded his arm so he accepted the offer with an elegant curve on his lips. " Okay."
.
.
.
Jonghyun realized well that Kim Key was observing him. The way Key gave a sceptical squint and replaced the distrust with cool smile somehow rendered him uneasy conscience but Jonghyun prefered to pretend not aware. Jonghyun quickly reached Taemin's wrist happily with sparks dancing in his orbs,showing his happiness seeing Taemin. So within next seconds they walked off to the main gate and Jonghyun remembered the guy beside Kim Key was possibly his boyfriend (recalling the confession in the mid-party, sure he was brave enough for near to a nerd like him, if Jonghyun had to flatter). They talked mostly about Key's liking and how long he had been friends with Minho, by that Jonghyun figured out that Key was the another person who could manage to buck Minho with his sharp words and diva attitude.
" Thank you for taking us," Key ruffled Taemin's hair motherly as his brown orbs was hid behind the eyesmile. Taemin crinkled the tip of his nose and showed a slight smile. " Umm, you're welcome."
Key gave a warm look to Jonghyun which he found it was rather a dreadful glare, perhaps Kim Key sensed something fishy around but to his concern, he didn't bring up any question so Jonghyun felt quite glad.
" Be careful," Jonghyun said as he flashed a smile and Jinki bowed almost 90 degree down (Jonghyun found this funny, to be honest). " We will," was what Jinki replied in his soft voice.
Jonghyun barely opened his mouth to speak again but something caught his eyes outside the residence, over the fence, standing mysteriously. It was something.. dark..
Or perhaps, someone in black.
He squinted carefully.
That person is wearing a suit?
Soon upon realizing something, Jonghyun gasped.
Don't tell me -
Jonghyun patted Taemin's shoulder, his voice sounded odd and panic. " I have to go." and with that he flew off in unbelieveable speed, leaving the rest in confusion.
He swore angrily, cursing his stupidity for not realizing it fast so he took a shortcut by jumping through a partition, he quickly ran to the mysterious guy over there without even care to his heavy chest, screaming for some oxygen, to his needs.
To his misfortune, the mysterious guy was already gone.
Jonghyun chew back his lips. Fuck!! he cursed mentally while gripping his cloth, trying to compose his breath back. His eyes wandered over the place hoping to find any clue but it earned naught.
He realized the time was very close to its come. He knew. That's why he was here, in Seoul.
But Jonghyun didn't expect that, it was already this fast. Shit, seriously, what fucking else.
Taemin.
Jonghyun hissed, punching a wood nearby him, he had never felt this pissed before.
I can't make Minho to get involved for real now.
.
.
.
Taemin puffed his cheeks out as he entered back Minho's room, mind still floating to a scene when Jonghyun was leaving him in split second without telling what he had to do. Taemin walked absentmindedly toward Minho's bed whom the owner was laying there powerlessly, eyes closing to his deep sleep. He seriously needed a rest, Taemin thought. He poked Minho's cheek and cocked his head side to side.
" Are you really sleeping.." Taemin whispered, wondering. But the young master showed no sign of awake. Taemin crawled slowly and flung Minho's bangs aside, revealing the perfect, dashing, and handsome face with no flaw. Taemin adored that face, so much. Minho resembled to a God, to any God that Taemin knew.
Taemin didn't notice that his close presence seemed had awaken Minho's subconcious when the next thing happened was Minho threw his arm around Taemin's neck, pulling the latter down, Taemin's face hit Minho's chest. Taemin gulped as he inhaled a familiar scent, the masculine one. Taemin squeezed his eyes tight, soothing his haywire mind for being hugged by sleeping guy before him. The unconcious Minho dropped his head close to Taemin, breath nuzzling the younger boy's face which had turned pale.
" Taemin.."
Taemin widened his eyes, almost fell in lost upon what Minho just had said.
He was calling my name.
Taemin's chest almost, near bursted confettis of happiness, not aware of his gaping jaw, when Minho's head slowly brought down, their lips were just mere inch away. Even Taemin could inhale Minho's warm breath.
His heart pounded so fast now, for good God's sake.
Not this close -
Knock, knock.
" Tae-ah, may i come in?"
And Taemin eventually snapped back to, oh my God, hi reality.
He shoved himself down from Minho's embrace and got up immediately, shouting a soft 'yes' to the outside. The knocker opened the door, peeking first before completely entered. " Did i disturb you?" Jonghyun asked in worry. Taemin shook his head and waggled his hand, telling Jonghyun it was okay before finally Jonghyun stepped inside.
" Is he sleeping?"
Taemin nodded as he threw his gaze to the sick guy. " I think he's okay."
" Oh, okay."
There was an awkward pregnant silence which to Taemin it seemed like the longest seconds he had been through. None of them bothered enough to break off the silence which was heaving up the atmosphere.
Even until two minutes later, no one talked yet.
So then Taemin took an initiative by opening his mouth first, something that had bothered him since three hours ago.
" Milord, about the confession earlier, you - "
Before Taemin could finish his sentence, Jonghyun already hugged him tight from behind.
" I really meant it, Taemin-ah."
.
.
.
After years it was the first time Jonghyun didn't know what to say, any word, anything to break off the awkward silence. Of course it was awkward, especially when Jonghyun had confessed that he liked Taemin.
It was same like that day,
Her back was facing me instead.
Jonghyun could feel his chest heaving up and down, he knew he was nervous. He just could not get out that black suited glimpse of his head. It insisted to stick forever in mind.
This kind of uneasy, guilty feeling dominated him until down to the conscience. Just like ten years ago.
and the small back he was dealing now..
Jonghyun groaned silently, hand clenching into a dense fist.
Why must it be her.
and why must it be you, Taemin.
What am i doing now to Minho, actually.
Jonghyun stared Taemin's back as he was lost in his thought, mind swimming to unreachable depth of fidgety there, he was trapped into huge confusion to the matter of priority.
No.
Minho, you can't be weak, unless you will fall into a danger.
Or it could be him.
The silence was still hanging up high.
Should i take over it?
Your weakness?
and Jonghyun's mind returned to reality as he found Taemin was opening his mouth, about to speak.
" Milord, about the earlier confession, you - "
At that time Jonghyun knew what was gonna happen.
It feels the same, just like ten years ago.
" I like you."
Jonghyun let out a snort, he didn't really care of anything right now.
So he just hugged Taemin from behind, wrapping the younger boy tightly in his muscular arms.
Now or never.
" I really meant it, Taemin-ah."
Because my obsession, Minho.
It is you.
" I like you, i hope you can consider my feeling."
was all Jonghyun said, as he kissed Taemin's hair lightly.
" But you don't really like me, do you."
He realized that Taemin's body was shaking - he was shocked, could not even tell anything going now in short.
This is what i can do.
Even though once, we fell for a same person.
I guess for now, maybe..
Jonghyun didn't know what to say, so he cut out his thought.
But sadly he wasn't aware enough, to realize about something else which just had been awakened.
.
.
.
Minutes ago, he only felt a sudden loss in his arms. Before, a warmth just slipped in him, in his arms - calm, mild, and soothing him tenderly .. until it was gone, so he was awake and opened his fluttering eyes.
" I really meant it, Taemin-ah."
He peeked little, narrowing his sight.
and he was stunned upon what he saw.
Jonghyun was hugging Taemin.
His Taemin - if he needed to emphasize the belonging.
" I like you, i hope you can consider my feeling."
Minho's throat was blocked with a limp, he felt everything froze around him.
It can't be.
