6 “ Its small “ is the first thing Jinki says when he steps into the small bedsitter flat. Theres a tiny kitchen , a toilet , a miniature dining area and lastly a space just enough for a single bed. How would Key live here? Key was such a diva and putting him in this small place when you were potentially bound to get claustrophobia was really pushing it.
He sees the small disappointed look on Key’s face but Jinki figures he expected it. It was temporary for the next two months till some one cleared out of the flat two blocks from his school. This came at a ridiculously cheap price for the two months and he had no choice but to take it. Always look at the bigger picture Key says.
“ It’ll do for now “ Key replies as he drags his luggage to the small corner next to his bed and lay it down before taking of his jacket and hanging it against the knobs of what Jinki assumed to be the wardrobe
“ You could live with me “ Jinki finally speaks up after holding it in through out the entire ride to Key’s makeshift flat.
Key doesn’t even consider , its a no , but he puts it more politely.
“ It would be weird no ? “ He’s not really asking it was more of a statement than anything then he hurriedly changes the topic to dinner not wanting Jinki to press any further
“ What do you want to eat ? “ the younger boy is pulling out boxes of side dishes and other kinds of food. Jinki laughs and knew this was the doing of Key’s grandmother. She loved Key with all her heart and life. When they were young , Key’s mum was constantly sick and he’s dad was working so he was sent to live with his grandmother. Key was a diva from birth , stubborn and headstrong , he was always making her worry. But as he grew older he grew to understand how important they were to each other he could even say that he was closer to her than his own mother.
Jinki peeks at the boxes one by one , drool slowly gathering up behind his lips.
“ Everything “ He replies and grins a megawatt smile.
“ How about soup? grandmother gave me some in that tumbler over there. I know its weird , I told her it was . She made kimchichigae “
Jinki is almost jumping for joy and he opens the tumbler and takes a good deep breath and breathe in the wonderful dish.
“ Cook rice alright , I’ll do the rest “ Key instructs as usual
He nods and gets to work. Sneakily peeking behind him to see Key preparing their dinner. It was a sight he wanted to see everyday if he ever got the chance.
Dinner is ready in half and hour and JInki is lying arms stretched across the table because he’s just about to die from hunger. His eyes are fixed on the boy moving here and there in the small kitchenette.
“ feed me ! “ he whines, its muffled because his head is buried in-between his hands and the table.
“ help me set up and we’ll be able to eat , wash the things before you put them on the table “
Very reluctantly he lifts himself off the chair and about. Pulling out chopsticks and bowls, a side dish each and two mugs. He gives them a quick rinse before laying them out and sits down with his best attempt at being patient , eyes never leaving Key as he brought the food dish by dish to the table.
“ Dig in ! “
“ I so wished you’d live with me “ Jinki thanked. Though he knew meant more than just having delicious food everyday.
“ Don’t be silly hurry eat ! “
There wasn’t much to talk about when both were so hungry , but Jinki felt like today , he didn’t want to let the topic go,
“ I still don’t get why you wouldn’t want to live with me for this 2 months. “ he says half way through a piece of chicken.
Key looks up from his bowl of soup , his head slightly tilted curious to why Jinki was suddenly bringing it up again.
“ Its troublesome and it be weird “
“ How so ? I mean we’ve known each other our whole lives ! “
“ Jinki , I just wanted to live alone is it so hard to understand ? “
Key merely meant that its good to have their own space , moreover they were just friends albeit best friends but still friends and he didn’t want to be dependent on JInki , well more than he already was.
Jinki takes this very differently. To him its , “ I want to bring guys over and it be weird if you were around “ . Because Jinki knew how Key has a habit of going through guys like the change of weather, he just doesn’t know it hasn’t happened in 2 months.
“ I mean , if you want to bring guys over I don’t mind “ Jinki knows its his insecurities speaking. Because he knows Key would never like a guy like him , clumsy and nerdy , It didn’t matter if he had a wonderful voice because looks mattered to Key.
“ excuse me ? Are you listening to yourself right now Lee Jinki ?! “
“ I mean I understand “
“ what the fuck Jinki , really is this the conversation topic after not seeing you for months , and the first meal we have together you are going to go on about my past relationships “
“ I wouldn’t call them that but forget it , I think we’re both tired and cranky , I’ll get the ice cream ready “
“ I don’t want any “
Jinki ignores and pulls out the he brought before picking Key up and scoops into 2 separate bowls. He puts it on the table in front of Key but he pushes it away.
“ its your favourite “
“ I can see that , i just am not in the mood , i wonder why “ sarcasm overload and it hit Jinki like a ton of bricks.
This was Jinki’s only normal reaction to Key’s lousy dating habits. Because he was just Key’s best friend , what else could he do. He couldn’t grab the boy and kiss him senseless cause best friends don’t do that.
He couldn’t walk up to Key and say “ Hey , I’m in love with you, i have been since we were 12, hope you love me too ? “
How he wished he could. Because it hurt with every boy that Key decided to date, it hurt more when he stayed over because , please as much as Jinki wanted to live in denial, ranging hormones don’t keep you very innocent. Key never exactly told him , but it was a given. Why else would he find Key topless in a house reeking of sex, hair soo disheveled and eyes giving off that ...... Jinki shook the thought out of his head as he dip his hands into the sink of cold water to wash the next dish.
“ come , i’ll help you dry them “ Key grabbed a rag from a drawer and started to dry the rinsed dishes.
“ I’m sorry “ Jinki muttered, he didn’t want to leave here with Key being all angry and frustrated with him .
“ Its alright , but why do you always do that thought ?” Key asked as he took another dish from Jinki’s hands.
“ I don’t know , I guess i’m just a very protective friend “ he answered shrugging his shoulders lightly.
Key laughed a little and nudged Jinki using his albow. “ Don’t be I can take care of myself “
Jinki looked at him , one eyebrow raised “ but you go lost this afternoon and i had to rescue you ! “
“ i was tired ! “
“ how about all those nights I had to bring ice cream over so you could eat and cry your heart out when you felt sad , I’m sure that was some tough rescuing ! “
“ Yeah fine , they were assholes “
‘and I would never hurt you like the did ‘; but he kept that in “ Thank you very much ! 1 for Jinki 0 for Key , I’m in the lead “
Key just laughed , something only Jinki was really capable of making him do.
“ I’m going down to the school tomorrow to just let them know i’m here and fill up whatever is left “ Key had dumped himself on his bed voice bouncing off the ceiling.
“ I’m packed tomorrow , I’ve got some variety show to do , Interviews and training , I’m gonna debut in a month , they say its a record for a rookie like me “ the older boy sighed and rested his head against the edge of the bed unknowingly next to Key’s but the close distance was comfortable
“ You’ll be fine sangtae ! “
“ You haven’t called me that in a while “ he turned to face the boy , his head resting on the back of his hands which were flat out on the bed.
“ Well there you go , give it all you’ve got alright , and if you get tired , you’ll always have me here and grandma’s kimchi chigae “
JInki knew he could fight the world with just that.
