Although Key was completely against you sleeping over, he knew he was outvoted in the matter and decided to just accept it. He allowed you to borrow a pair of his pyjamas-a t-shirt and shorts decorated with keys-and sleep in his bed while he slept with Jonghyun in his.
“I’m going to bed now, but I want to lay out a few rules for you first, okay? Where’s Taemin?” Key asked.
“I’m right here.” Taemin said.
“Okay. First, you are not to share a bed. Second, you will go to bed at a reasonable time. You don’t have to go to bed right now, but don’t stay up too late. Third, you will wake up early tomorrow morning so you can get ready. Fourth, ________ is going home when we’re done because we have dance practice tomorrow afternoon. Got it?” Key asked.
“Got it.” You and Taemin said together.
“Good. Now ________, go get changed.” Key instructed.
“I’ll be right back.” You said as you headed for the bathroom.
Key waited for you to close the door before turning to Taemin.
“You better behave yourself, Taemin! You’re still only 17.” Key said.
“I will, hyung.” Taemin said sarcastically.
“Good night.” Key said, shaking his head.
“Yeah, good night.” Taemin replied.
After changing, you and Taemin decided that you would also go to bed. After all, you had to be up early tomorrow morning and you needed your sleep. Your decision was followed shortly by Onew, Jonghyun and Minho.
When you woke up in the morning, you were relieved to find that you were among the first.
“Oh, you’re awake. Good morning.” Key said as you yawned and stretched.
“Morning. Is Taemin up yet?” You asked.
“No, you and I are the first. Now get up so I can get you ready. And don’t forget to make the bed.” Key said.
You obediently did as you were told as Key continued to rummage through his closet. He muttered things to himself as he tried to pick an outfit for you.
“Come here.” He demanded as you finished.
He handed you a pink sundress and a pair of white leggings, spinning you back around when they were in your hands.
“Put these on and come back.” He instructed.
By the time you finished changing, Key was in the living room preparing to do your hair. With a hairbrush in hand, he told you to sit on the couch so he could brush your hair.
“Your hair is so pretty and healthy…I wish my hair was like yours.” Key gushed.
“Thanks. Your hair is nice too though.” You said.
“Yeah, but it’s all damaged from everything I’ve done to it. I don’t get it treated. I should though, shouldn’t I?” Key asked.
“Yeah.” You simply agreed.
“I’m French braiding your hair, okay? It’ll look really nice, I promise.” Key said.
“Sounds good. I like French braids.” You smiled.
Key continued to make conversation with you as he braided your hair. He handed you a mirror as he finished, eagerly awaiting your reaction.
“What do you think? Cute, huh?” Key asked.
“Yeah, I like it.” You agreed.
“Now are you going to do your eyeliner or do you want me to do it? And can I paint your nails too?” Key asked.
“I can do it myself and if anyone’s going to be painting my nails, it’ll be Taemin.” You laughed.
“Okay, that’s fine. I’ll go look for shoes.” Key returned to his room, slightly offended.
Upon entering his room, Key discovered that the others were also awake now, save for Taemin. Onew and Minho were debating whether or not they should wake him while Jonghyun was making his bed. Taking matters into his own hands, Key marched over to Taemin’s bed and began shaking him violently.
“Wake up, Taemin!” Key yelled.
“I’m up, I’m up.” Taemin grumbled, rubbing his eyes.
“What did I tell you last night about waking up early this morning?” Key asked.
“To wake up early so I can get ready.” Taemin said groggily.
“And are you up early?” Key asked.
“Yes!” Taemin said.
“No you’re not. You’re the last one up. Now get up and go get ready.” Key said.
Key began to rummage through his closet again to find shoes while Taemin started to make his bed, muttering to himself about how Key nags too much.
“Oh, and _______ wants you to paint her nails. She wouldn’t let me do it. There’s a bottle of black nailpolish on the dresser.” Key said with a pout.
“Okay.” Taemin agreed.
He picked up the bottle on his way out of the room and began shaking it.
“Good morning, sunflower!” Taemin said brightly.
“Morning, sunshine.” You replied.
“Key said you wanted me to do your nails?” Taemin asked.
“Yeah, I’m almost done doing my eyeliner.” You said.
When you were finished, you sat down on the couch and Taemin took your hand, flawlessly applying the nailpolish.
“I could do that too, you know…and it would be just as good.” Key whined.
“Yes, but you’re not her boyfriend.” Taemin said.
“Well…I’ll just go make breakfast then.” Key said, unable to think of anything to come back with.
When Taemin finished painting your nails, he began examining your hair.
“It looks really nice. Did you do it yourself?” he asked.
“No, Key did it for me.” You admitted.
“Key-hyung’s really good at making girls look their best…and boys too sometimes. Remember when I came to see the dance festival?” Taemin laughed.
After breakfast, Key gave you a pair of pink sandals with flowers and you were ready to leave for the studio. Jonghyun tagged along to discuss the song with Taemin while you were being coached, but Onew, Key and Minho stayed home. Before you left, Key made sure to remind Jonghyun and Taemin to not to return too late as not to be late for SHINee’s dance practice. He also had one final piece of advice for you.
“I know you’re not very good right now, but don’t stress about it. It just means there’s a lot of room for improvement, so don’t get discouraged.” He said optimistically.
