Jinki doesn’t know life without Key. They’d been friends since elementary and even though they went to a different high school they still met every night at his house to hangout or finish their home work.
Jinki still cannot imagine life without Jinki when a representative from some big shot record label comes and asks him to audition.
“ Are you kidding me ? Just go already “ Key exclaims when Jinki shares with him the news
“ I don’t know “
Key is exasperated at his best friend’s ignorance. “ Whats there to know, just go up to Seoul and give it a shot “
“ Mum said she won’t come with me “
“ I will “
Jinki’s smile is blazing for once today as he pulls Key into a death hug. Jinki wonders why Key never bothered to try out for this sort of thing. His over flowing confidence was so infectious when you were around him you always seems to have that extra boost. He never really cared what people had to say about him, he was the almighty Kim Ki Bum and that was it , no questions asked.
The audition is a week after on Friday. Both of them spend the rest of their free time cooped up in the room letting Jinki run his audition piece over and over again. Key suggests that maybe he should teach Jinki a short dance to heighten his chances , but the older boy refuses and says its impossible , his clumsiness would never allow it.
“ On second thoughts you’re right , okay where were we , the second verse right ? “ and they continue to work late into the night.
Jinki’s voice is smooth and rich , almost perfect. Key knows it will be once he gets proper lessons for it. He doesn’t realise as he listens to his best friend that he has fallen asleep in the latter’s lap.
The older boy stops singing, and looks down and the beautiful site lying gracefully in his lap. Even when asleep Key always never failed to take his breath away. His hand runs through the messy brown hair
He was too excited to finally after being friend for 12 years , they were going to be going on a trip to Seoul. It wasn’t just Seoul to the both of them , it was a city of dreams and bright lights, wonderful clothes and the coolest people ever.
Key woke up the next morning with a warm blanket draped over his body. His pillow wasn’t a pillow which he realised after awhile. It was Jinki’s leg, he had not moved from the exact position the night before too afraid to wake the younger boy.
He could only hope the awkward pain in Jinki’s neck would go away before the auditions
“ Jinki , wake up ! “ Key exclaimed as he shook the lifeless body .
There were a few groans and the sheets moved a bit , so slightly which frustrated Key even more .
“ LEE JINKI ! Get up now or we’ll miss the train ! ‘
Jinki rolled over in bed and grabbed the clock , a frown fast forming on his face. He put the clock to key’s face.
“ I don’t care , you always take so long , I’m ready already “
He shook his head and buried it deeper under the pillow. Key could only do one thing now. Leaving the room for the kitchen he brought back with him a plate of fried chicken. He fried it before coming to Jinki’s house because he knew these sort of desperate measure were needed.
The moment Key stepped into the room , Jinki shot up in bed his eyes entirely devouring the plate of poultry.
“ Wake up now and you get this “
“ I’m up “ he grumbled .
“ Up I mean , bathed and ready to leave the house , things packed EVERYTHING “
“ one bite “
“ fat hope , get to work if you want the chicken “
And thats how they made it to the train station in time to catch their ride to Seoul. Jinki busied himself devouring the chicken on the train ride, while Key ate his small box of rice and a few dishes.
“ Water lots of it now , you don’t want to get a sore throat right before the auditions tomorrow morning do you “
“ Yes SIR “ and he gulped down a 1.5L bottle of it.
Key fell asleep in the midst of some homework, his head resting snuggly on Jinki’s shoulder. At least this was more comfortable than the last time he let Key fall asleep on him.
The scenery was entirely new , both had barely ever travelled out before , this would almost be their first time. He turns to the boy beside him wanting to wake him up because the scenery was so beautiful , but the quiet serene face tells him to do otherwise.
Carefully he pulls out the polaroid camera from Key’s bag in front of them
“ Smile Key “ he whispers as his lips find themselves in the midst of the younger’s hair. Now that was for keepers, just for himself.
Its in the middle of the afternoon when the train pulls up at this posh station. Its definitely not home anymore and Jinki knows it.
He nudges Key a little and the younger boy wakes up , gently rubbing his eyes as the light floods his vision.
“ We’re here ? “
“ Yes we are “
The sleepy one stretches out his limbs to get some feeling back into them before they grab they’re stuff off the overhead compartment and alight the train.
“ Well we got the rest of the day , your audition is tomorrow , what do you want to do ? “ Key asks as he flips open the map in his hands. “ after we check in to the guest house “
“ Namsan? “
The younger boy throws him a curious look .
“ Whats there ? “
“ A good view of Seoul “
Key smiles back and nods his head. “ Sounds great “
