“Kim Kibum”
“Kim Jonghyun”
“So we’re working together, right?”
“I guess so.”
“By the way, I hate those overrated singers who can’t sing or dance so don’t become like one”
“Don’t plan to”
And that was their first meeting.

“We did it, Key! We finally debuted. I was so nervous”
“You do know that all the fans that were screaming were my fans.”
“Shut up”
Jonghyun punched him lightly on the arm and Key ran off laughing.

“Shut up Jjong. When you cry, it looks ugly.”
“Y-you’re not h-helping”
A hiccup from the crying boy.
“So are you going to cry when we win other awards? C’mon Jjong, be a fucking man for once. I mean I know you’re happy but seriously.”
Another hiccup from the crying boy, a sigh from the annoyed one.
“Please Jjong, stop crying.”
Key put his arms around Jonghyun until Jonghyun stopped crying.

“Key, we’ve been together for a long time, will you marry me?”
“…I have a kid.”
Jonghyun chuckled at the memory that happened today.
“What are you chuckling at, Jjong?”
“My marriage proposal today”
And with that Key blushed.

After 15 years of SHINee, they decided to go on their own ways.
“It’s been, what, 15 years?”
“Yeah, how much time flies by…”
“I’ve enjoyed it, Key. Thanks for making it so precious.”
Key stared right into Jonghyun’s eyes and Key could feel tears.
“It’s not over between our friendship right?”
“It never was and won’t ever be.”
A silent hug as they both cried silently.
“By the way, you still look ugly when you cry.”
“Shut up, Key.”

It’s been two years since Jonghyun became a solo singer; it’s been two years since they’ve talked.
“Key! Jonghyun is on TV!”
Key dropped all of his dishes and ran to the TV, he stared at the beautiful artist singing. He felt tears again. Onew watched him silently.
“You miss him, don’t you?”
Key didn’t reply.

As Key was alone at home, listening to a certain guy’s singing with his earphones, he heard a ding dong.
He stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
A pair of arms and hands tackled him and he found himself trapped between Jonghyun’s arms.
“I missed you so much!”
“You’re still cheesy as ever.”
“Shut up”
And for once, Key shutted up and hugged him back.

It’s been sixty years since Jonghyun and Key met each other.
Now Jonghyun; seventy five and Key; seventy four.
“How long has it been?”
“I don’t remember Jjong.”
“Stop calling me Jjong, you’ve been calling me that for sixty years already.”
“Then stop calling me Key.”
“But you used to nag us when we don’t call you Key”
Silence.
Key stared at the old man next to him, Jonghyun still had that puppy dog eyes, that sharp jaw line and that sharp nose. Key felt his heart, thumping quickly again and for the first time, in sixty years, Key finally knew his feelings.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t see it earlier.”
Jonghyun knew what he was talking about. He just smiled and said
“It’s okay, as long as you know now.”

After Jonghyun’s silent but peaceful death, Key felt isolated from the world.
A letter was sent to him, three days after Jonghyun’s death. It was written in Jonghyun’s handwriting.
As Key read the letter, he felt like crying and he also felt like laughing.
“Oh god, he’s still so cheesy.”
He clutched the letter to his chest and smiled.

Dear Key,
I am probably dead right now, and I’m sorry for leaving you like this.
But please know that I’ve always loved you and will always love you.
Some of my memories are still foggy but some I can remember so clearly.
I can remember the day I met you, the day we debuted, the day you comforted me when we won number one in Juliette on our comeback stage, the day I asked you to marry me, the day we separated, the day when I met you after two years and the day when you found out your feelings for me.
I love you and please, I’m always there with you silently and I’m always thinking about you.
Jonghyun
