Summary : The time when Kibum finally let go~

...

I’m staring out of my window
And the rain is pouring down
When you left, I was so low
But I’m not gonna drown

Kim Kibum was staring out the window of SHINee’s dorm. It was raining and he wished it would stop. He wished it would be sunny but then again he would think the universe was mocking him; so he let it be.

He was moping. He had been moping for the past few months. He hated it. He hated that Jonghyun broke up with him to be with SeKyung. He felt crushed and he was heartbroken.

But he was the Almighty Key. So he hid his pain and tried to be his usual happy diva self. He also tried hard to just stay alive because he loved Jonghyun dearly.

He did not realize there was a figure, resting against the doorframe, eyes lingering on him.

I don’t need no shoulder
I’m gonna be a soldier
I just wanna feel something I don’t understand

Kibum tried to bear the pain alone. He cried alone at night and he only showed his true feelings when he was on his own.

But Minho noticed everything. He noticed the way the slightly older male’s shoulder droop with disappointment and the downcast glance of a defeated man.

“Let’s play in the rain,” he said.

Kibum looked up at him and frowned. But Minho was persistent. He pulled the other man towards the door and headed for the entrance of the building. He left Kibum there and stepped out in the rain by himself.

He closed his eyes and let the rain patter on his form. Kibum was transfixed. When Minho turned and looked at him, Kibum knew Minho was waiting for him to make the next move.

There was no way the Almighty Key would get himself and his hair wet.

Kibum sighed.

I’m just gonna run right through the rain
I’m just gonna dance right through the pain
I just wanna feel that rhythm, feel that drum
Let my heart beat louder
Let my heart speak louder than my head [head, head, head]

Minho smiled when Kibum stepped towards him, and into the rain. When Kibum was close enough to him, Minho took out his earphones and stuck one of them into Kibum’s ears. He did not even care that his earphones are gonna be spoiled later on.

Kibum smiled when he heard his favourite song booming from the earpiece. He grinned and started to move his body lightly to the rhythm. It did not take long for him to lose himself in the music but he did not forget Minho as he linked his arm with Minho and coaxed the tall charismatic man to move with him.

For the first time in his entire life, Kim Kibum danced in the rain.

For the first time in his entire life, Choi Minho dropped his guard and danced crazily.

Heart beat louder than my head [head, head, head]
Heart speak louder
Wanna feel that rhythm, feel that drum
Let my heart beat louder
Let my heart speak louder than my head

Neither of them cared about their surrounding. Sure, it was night and it was raining. But that did not mean nobody was watching from their windows and balconies.

Shawols would either squeal with delight or scream of horror - their idols were dancing, but in the rain.

For once, both stopped caring about what others thought and just followed their hearts and that meant :
i)                    Kibum following the music.
ii)                  Minho following Kibum.

It was past 2 in the morning when they both returned to the dorm, drenched in rain. Both were shivering from the cold but their faces were lit up with bright happy smiles that even Jinki could not bear to scold them for their thoughtlessness.

I, I am over overthinking of how to get you back
I’m checking out for the weekend
And I ain’t going back

It was three weeks later, on Friday to be exact, when Kibum found himself flipping the calendar. He sighed when he remembered how he used to plan and scheme ways to win Jonghyun back months ago. But it had been two weeks now since he had gone to the club they used to visit and stopped to entice (cough*teasing*cough) the lead vocalist with his sexy dancing.

Kibum did not even know when and why things had changed. But instead of going out to clubs, he found himself staying at home, cooking and waiting for a certain someone to return to their dorm.

I don’t need no shoulder
I’m gonna be a soldier
I just wanna feel somethin’ I don’t understand

“I’m home..” came a tired announcement as the front door opened.

Kibum whipped his head around with an expectant face but when his eyes fell on the person who broke his heart, his eyes turned guarded and his smile disappeared.

“Hey..” came the careful greeting from Jonghyun.

“Hey..” was Kibum’s reply before looking away.

It was awkward and Kibum could not handle awkwardness other than Jinki. So, he turned and tried to leave.

“I’m sorry.”

Kibum halted. He turned back around and with a brow raised, he looked at the lead singer.

“I’m sorry for everything. I really did love you.” At those words, Kibum’s heart clenched, but only slightly.. the pain almost absent.

Jonghyun ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “And I still love you.. you’re my best friend.”

“I miss you.” Jonghyun looked straight into Kibum’s eyes. “I miss us.”

Kibum just stared at the shorter man blankly.

Don’t be a coward, Kim Kibum. Say something! Kibum’s heart screamed but his mind was blank and empty and all he could think of was to escape from the one he loved.

But then, a slow smile crept into the rapper’s eyes and his lips bowed up a bit. “I know,” was his reply and Jonghyun just smiled before leaving the space and into his room.

Kibum missed Jonghyun too. But not like that. Not like a lover. Not anymore. And Jonghyun understood that; that was why he smiled.

“Is everything okay?” a deep voice resounded from across the hall.

Kibum’s head snapped to the source and was delighted as his gaze settled on the athlete’s tired face. He saw how Minho’s eyes sparkled when the taller saw him in the kitchen. Kibum felt himself blushing.

When Minho’s brow knitted together after glancing at the calendar, Jonghyun’s door, and back at Kibum, Kibum felt like groaning aloud. He knew what the other man was thinking.

“I’m okay. I’m not gonna mope and feel useless and drink myself to oblivion anymore. It was stupid.. I know..” Kibum sighed heavily.

When Minho just stared at him and smiled encouragingly, Kibum felt stronger than before.

Oh, letting go
Yeah it feels so good, so right

Two months had passed since Kibum last tried to win Jonghyun back. He was finally able to let Jonghyun go completely. He had bought a balloon and wrote Jonghyun’s name on it. He went to the park near their dorm and sat at one of the benches alone.

Kibum thought he was going to cry. But his eyes were dry. His heart was calm and his mind was clear. He closed his eyes and tried to conjure Jonghyun’s face. But instead of the puppysaurus, his mind - or rather his heart- drew another picture. It was of a person with warm dark chocolate orbs, sharp nose and full lips. He realized he did not want to open his eyes though the picture was not what he expected.

Kibum finally opened his eyes, glanced up at the clear blue sky and smiled. He looked down at the name on the balloon.

“Goodbye..” with that, Kibum loosened his hold on the balloon and watched it fly up to the sky.

Oh, all I know
Is that I let my heart beat
Heart beat heart speak louder than my louder than my louder, louder, louder, louder

Kibum did not know what was on his mind. His heart felt light and happy after the symbolic act of letting go he pulled off that morning.

He most definitely did not know what exactly he was thinking when he typed the words on his phone.

“Saranghae~” it read.

Kibum sighed and deleted the words. If he was going to confess, he should at least do it properly. The man deserved that much… and more.

I’m just gonna run right through the rain
I’m just gonna dance right through the pain
I just wanna feel that rhythm, feel that drum
Let my heart beat louder
Let my heart speak louder than my head [head, head, head]

Minho found himself in a club, full of people, slightly sweaty from the heat and dancing.. and grinding Kibum bestowed upon him. He could swear he was blushing when he the other rapper started to roll his body against his. But now, he found it endearing.. and sexy..

Minho threw every thought away except the thought of Kibum.. and him. He drowned in the music and let it take control of his body as he moved together with Kibum as one.

Kibum felt the change in the air and smiled at Minho. That smile turned into a smirk as he saw Minho’s eyes glazed with desire.

Without thinking, he crushed his mouth against Minho’s.

Heart beat louder than my head [head, head, head]
Heart speak louder
Wanna feel that rhythm, feel that drum
Let my heart beat louder
Let my heart speak louder than my head

Minho was stunned at first but then he kissed Kibum back with equal passion. He smiled into the kiss before nipping gently at Kibum’s lower lip.

“What changed? When?” Minho asked quietly.

Kibum looked into Minho’s eyes deeply before answering. “Us. That rainy night.”

And it was answer enough for Minho as a slow triumphant and ecstatic grin made its way to his lips.

The two of them resumed their dancing, but this time, their fingers were intertwined.

There was a show of possessiveness in Minho’s hold around Kibum’s waist. There was an air of love and freedom in Kibum’s smile.
All it took was for the mind to shut up for a second.. and let the heart did its wonders..

Kibum let his heart speak and shut down his brains from overthinking. And he heard what his heart said.

It said, “I’m home..”

Kibum grinned then. Yeap, he was home. He rested his head on Minho’s broad chest. And in the loudness of the club, he could hear Minho’s heart beating - loud enough for him to hear it saying, “We’re home..” and he grinned even wider.
