A common interest ties two together 5/?
Jonghyun wakes up to a warm smell of pancakes. He yawns groggily on the couch, stretching his arms. Throwing the covers to the side, he paced slowly to the kitchen and sits on a cold chair.
“Jonghyun-shi, would you like some pancakes?” A maid asks. He nods, and twiddles his thumbs as he waits nervously for the brothers to come down. Jinki comes down first, already dressed in a white T-shirt with a grey cardigan, completed with black jeans. Jonghyun holds his breath as the other takes his seat.
“Good morning.” He squeaks.
“Good Morning.” Jinki smiles, seeing that Jonghyun was still wearing his pajamas. Two glasses of orange juice and a plate of steaming pancakes were served, and Jinki gladly sips his juice as Jonghyun munches on the pancakes hungrily. The blonde boy suddenly stops and looks up to him.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hung-“ Jinki was silenced as Jonghyun brings a piece of pancake to his mouth. He chokes on his words, and hurriedly swallows some juice to wash it down.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to…erm…”
“It’s okay. But now you have to pay me back.” Jinki opens his mouth expectantly. Jonghyun giggles, and happily cuts another piece and shoves it into his mouth, this time the right way.
“Morning.”
Jonghyun turns his head to the staircase. Taemin manages a thin smile, trudging down the stairs. Jonghyun feels his cheeks burning as he stares at the other’s each and every move. Taemin was wearing a magenta scoop neck tee which showed off his collarbones, and a pair of paint-splattered ripped jeans. He plops down onto his chair and slouches lazily, leaning backwards.
“Coke. Pancakes.” He replies glumly as the maid asks him for his order.
“Coke so early in the morning? It’s bad for your health Taemin-shi!” Taemin raises his eyebrows at Jonghyun. The other blushes and looks down on his plate of half eaten pancakes.
“I-I mean!!! To drink coke so early, your pretty hair’s gonna fall out and your skin’s gonna-“
“Apple Juice, Please.” Jonghyun swallows his spit as Taemin smirks at him playfully.
The three sat in silence in the limo, with Taemin and Jinki at the sides and Jonghyun in the middle. Jonghyun, who spent at least 10 minutes admiring the car’s exterior, enough to make the brothers align forces to usher him in, was gaping once again at the car’s in interior, his eyes transfixed on the high quality seating and features.
Taemin manages to sniffle a laugh and looks out of the window. Jinki grins secretly and turns back to his biology textbook.
“We’ve arrived, Young masters.” The driver announces. The trio climbs out of the car, welcoming the young breeze of the morning.
“School again.” Jonghyun frowns as he remembers his scheduled algebra test.
“Jinki oppa!! Taemin oppa!!!!! Kyaaaa!!” Fangirls squeal from the gates. The pair waved half heartedly at them.
“Who’s that oppa? Why is he with you?”
“Isn’t that Jonghyun? The new transfer?”
“Why does he get a ride? I want a ride too!!!”
The loving smiles of the fangirls immediately turn into sharpened glares. Jonghyun wrinkles his eyebrows and looks desperately at Jinki. He nods, and drags him into the gates, firmly across the playground while Taemin gives them a free dance performance to divert their attention.
They stop in front of Jonghyun’s homeroom.
‘Thanks hyung.”
“Jjong.”
“Yea? “
“Take no notice of them, you’re worthier then them to sleep in our house.”
“I know.” Jonghyun replies cheekily. Jinki hits his shoulder playfully.
“I’ll see you later.”
‘Where.were.you.last.night? Did you forget our plan on studying algebra?!? ” Key asks fiercely, his lipgloss gleaming from the cafeteria lights. Minho stops chewing on his burger, and looks at Jonghyun as well.
“I…I slept over at the Lee’s.” He replies, stuffing another piece of Dokbogi into his mouth.
“WHAT? T-the…!? And you didn’t come to me?”
Key slams the table so hard that his diet soda runs all over the white surface. Minho hushes his boyfriend, putting an arm around him.
“I did Key! You were the first person I called! It’s just totally my fault that you and Minho were just so coincidently fucking each other, right? “
Key’s cheeks turn a deep shade of pink as he crosses his arms, forgiving Jonghyun silently. Minho curses under his breath, and Jonghyun grins victoriously.
The day went past in a blink of an eye, and the classroom clock ticked its last seconds before the school bell announces home time. Students pile out from the school grounds, flooding the main pathways.
Jonghyun however, was not included in that crowd. He was busy practicing his dance routine, this time without Minho and Key’s ‘help’. One simple statement of ‘I heard the store you love downtown is having a sale.” Was enough for Key to drag poor Minho by his neck downtown so that he could carry his shopping. Jonghyun huffs. I’ll never be able to do this.
Meanwhile, at the Lee Mansion…
“Jinki, Taemin, I would like to introduce you two to my old friend. Aunt Sooyoung” Aunt Tiff says cheerfully.
“Welcome, Aunt Sooyoung.” They say in unison.
“She is going to be staying here for a while with her daughter, as their new house is being renovated. They’ll be sleeping in grandma’s room.”
“Nice to meet you.” A fair haired girl smiles sweetly at them.
Jonghyun walks back to the Lee mansion dripping in sweat. He rings the bell and opens the door politely, bowing to the maid.
‘Father, He’s here!” He hears Taemin’s voice from the Dining room.
Feeling Anxious, he makes his way carefully to the said room, fixing his hair one last time and making sure that he was presentable. He bows when he sees Jinki and Taemin’s father.
“Nice to meet you Mister Lee. I’m so sorry to intrude.” Master Lee laughs joyfully.
“Its okay, the more the merrier.” Jonghyun manages a quiet chuckle.
Aunt Tiff struts out from the kitchen and hugs Jonghyun, never mind him sweating all over her. He gags unnoticeably at her strong perfume, rubbing the sore spot on his arm where her ring had scratched him.
“Just in time for dinner!”
“Annyeonghaseyo! I’m Jonghyun. Sorry to intrude, Mrs. Lee.”
“Everything’s alright. Oh! I have guests as well!” She leads Jonghyun to the other side of the large dining room. “Meet my friend and her daughter; they’ll be staying here as well! Consider yourselves as Roommates!” She giggles.
Jonghyun smiles brightly, and looks at the two newcomers in a joyful manner before something rips the smile off his face.
“S-se kyung?”
a/n: OOOH. SUSPENSE. I WONDER. XDDD
