Of Chocolate Cakes & Kim Jonghyun's Face: 1/10 - Do I Know You?
Just re-posting some old stuff I wrote back in January.. It's really embarrassing because I didn't write so well back then!
It was quiet in the baking club room despite some clattering and yelps while Jinki was preparing a cake, for his crush since elementary school, Kim Jonghyun. The younger boy was more popular than him by far, and doesn't know who he is, and he was probably technically a stalker for asking Minho everything about him, but he couldn't stop his heart. It just wanted to jump out of his chest when they were near eachother, and whenever Jinki heard his voice, he just wanted to record it and listen to it every night. Okay, maybe he did have some problems.
He took the chocolate cake out of the oven, letting it cool while he prepared the toppings, chocolate frosting, caramel and nuts, he heard Jonghyun liked chocolate alot, so he made the cake have a fudge filling which he usually doesn't do, but he did it just for the younger boy. He walked back in forth around the room, it would be usually filled with girls and some close friends, but he came a little earlier to just do this.
He brought the cake to the counter, and when he thought it cooled down enough, he applied the chocolate frosting, with gentle delicate strokes across the sweet treat. He made sure to coat every place before putting powdered sugar over the top and drizzling the caramel across it. Last but not least, he sprinkled the nuts over it and thought it looked perfect, just what Jonghyun was supposed to like.
Jinki blushed as he put the cake in a box, and slipped it in the fridge, ''What if he doesn't like it?'' he worries briefly, and he also wonders how he's going to give it to him, there's not really a reason to give it to the guy, but it was too late now.
''Hyung!'' Taemin's shout interrupts his thoughts, and he quickly closed the fridge door, and turned to look that Taemin, Kibum, and Minho were there. Taemin and Kibum were in the baking club, Minho wasn't because he already was on the football team, that's how Jinki got all the information.
He waved sheepishly to them, adjusting his glasses and smiling, ''Hi..'' he said awkwardly, hoping that didn't see the cake, Taemin is actually the only one who knows about his crush, because Kibum has a really big mouth, and Minho spends everyday with Jonghyun!
''Hey,'' Kibum said, sniffing the air, ''Why are you here so early? Did you bake?'' he questioned curiously.
''Yes.. just something for..'' he searched his mind for a suitable answer, ''My parents! Their anniversary is soon, so I made them a cake.'' he lies smoothly, smiling.
Kibum just narrowed his eyes, and Minho just looked at his face, Taemin already knew, Jinki told him a week before that he planned to make Jonghyun a cake.
''Let's go to class,'' Jinki said, pushing them out of the room, and they all went to their seperate classrooms, and Jinki walked in his, Jonghyun was talking loudly and laughing with his friends over something, he walked over to his seat by the window, staring at his face, Jonghyun was handsome. He had a sharp jawline, big eyes, muscles, and short dark, brown hair, that all made up for his height. But Jinki didn't think he was THAT short, he didn't understand why everyone made fun of his height, or maybe he was just too in love.

''Yah! Since you guys are being so noisy, you can't pick your partners for this project!" Everyone in the class groaned upon hearing this, assigned partners were the worse. Everyone would always end up with someone they don't get along with, or the lucky people will get their friends.
Jinki's eyes lit up at this, maybe he has a chance of being with Jonghyun.. he gulped, as the English teacher paired people with eachother.
''Kim Jonghyun with..''
Please!
''Lee Jinki.'' his heart jumped from his chest, and his eyes looked over to Jonghyun, who was snoozing on his desk, he was so cute!
He doodled little hearts in his English journal and felt as if he was on cloud nine the rest of the class, what luck!
--
He literally skipped over to Jonghyun's desk after class, people were already leaving for lunch so before Jonghyun got crowded by his friends, he had to talk to him about the project.
''Um, J-Jonghyun?'' he forced out nervously, as he adjusted the books in his hands.
''Mmm?'' Jonghyun stirred and woke up, rubbing his eyes, Jinki was surprised he didn't get caught sleeping in class.
''Do..Do I know you?'' Jonghyun asked, looking up at Jinki now, still sitting at his desk. Jinki frowned, his heart broke in to little pieces and fell in his stomach.
''I'm.. I'm Lee Jinki.. and we're partners for the English project..'' he muttered out, trying to smile. Of course Jonghyun didn't know who he was, he was a nobody, he only had three true friends, and some people from the baking club he barely talks to.
''Oh, okay.. so what do we have to do for the project?'' Jonghyun asked curiously.
''We have to study North American culture, and write an essay about it,'' Jinki informed him, blushing, this was the first conversation he has ever had with Kim Jonghyun!
Jonghyun nodded, ''Okay, we can meet at my house or something..'' Jinki gasped, English was not only his best subject, but now his favorite.
''A-Alright!'' and Jonghyun began to write on a sheet of paper, but Jinki stopped him with something stupid.
''I know it already!'' and Jonghyun looked at him, frightened.
Jinki blushed, his face going red, he was such a stalker! ''I mean.. I know I'm totally going to be there!'' he tried, and Jonghyun shrugged, writing his address and giving it to Jinki.
''Cya later.. um.. Kinky?'' before Jinki could correct him, he left the room, and Jinki was about to faint right then and there, something new to write in his diary tonight! He grinned, and ran to go eat lunch with his friends in their usual place outside.
--
Jinki was chewing on his sandwich, while his friends were snacking on the cookies he made yesterday.
''Hyung, these are the best!'' Taemin exclaimed with a full mouth, and Kibum and Minho immediately agreed, he sheepishly thanked them.
''It's nothing, I just made them yesterday for dessert, and had leftovers..'' he mumbles, embarrassed, he wasn't used to compliments.
''So what's going on in your life, Jinki?'' Kibum asked, Jinki didn't even bother correcting him with a 'Jinki-hyung!'
''I got paired up with Kim Jonghyun for some English project in our class, and I'm going to his house after school..'' he said, trying not to look in love, but he couldn't stop his smile. Taemin gave him a knowing glance, and Kibum chewed on the cookie roughly now, and Minho was confused, but continued to read his book.
''What? Lucky! I would die if I ever go to Jonghyun's house, tell me how it is, explain it in detail!'' Kibum demands, excited that someone he knows is going to his crush's house.
''Why? Do you like him or something?'' Minho teased, looking up from his book.
Kibum blushed, nodding, ''I love him!'' and the other three had their mouth's wide open. Jinki especially, Kibum liked his crush! And Kibum had a much better chance of getting Jonghyun because Kibum was by far more popular than Jinki. His heart crumbled again, and he frowned, Taemin rubbed Jinki's shoulder, and he almost thought he was okay.
''I think I might like, make a cake for him or something,'' Kibum continues on, ''He'll be like, oh baby, I love this, now let me love you.'' he giggles, and Jinki felt like he wanted to cry, his chances of ever being with Jonghyun were super slim now, Kibum was seriously in love, and Jonghyun probably knows his name.. He pouted, and put his lunch away, not feeling hungry anymore.
What is this miserable feeling?
