Rating: PG-13
Summary: Where in Jinki is the badboy and Taemin maybe a little bit too naive, but after some years maybe the tables have turned.
1 2 3 4 “Kissing wasn't part of the plan!” spat Taemin at five in the morning. The party was over and Kibum kicked the last people out of his parents house. “Oh babe, don't tell me you didn't like it.”
Taemin sighed and pouted. “Well I didn't like it! But it's difficult to go against you, Kibum... I couldn't see Jinki leave.”
Kibum laughed, a little louder than necessary as he was still quite drunk. “Oh I can tell you that he was totally like shit.” He came sit next to Taemin on the couch in the living room that Taemin had claimed after Jinki left. “I hope he went home safely.” Taemin sighed again. He had been sober the whole night to do this plan properly and after Jinki had left, he didn't fell like drinking at all.
“Oh jeeeeesus Taemin” Kibum said while he was trying to cuddle Taemin.
“Ugh, go away, you're annoying when you're drunk like this.” Taemin took of his high heeled boots and stood up, shrugging Kibum from him.
“Aww Taemin~” Kibum whined. “Kibummie wants attention!”
Taemin looked down on Kibum who was trying to give him his cutest look.
“You should hook up with Jonghyun or something.”
“Ew”
Taemin couldn't sleep as Jinki haunted in his mind. He felt regretful and he was worried about him. Kibum had crashed on the coach and Taemin tried to sleep in his friends bed, but after an hour he already walked downstairs, as he was far from sleepy. He looked at a sleeping Kibum on the coach, which looked too trashy and it made Taemin giggle.
Taemin saw Kibum's phone and as it was totally forbidden to even touch the device, it gave Taemin a plan. He scrolled through the contacts, but Jinki wasn't in there anymore, but Jonghyun was.
06:30 Kibum to Jonghyun
Hi, how's Jinki?
Taemin sighed, Jonghyun was probably asleep, he had to wait longer for an answer, but then the chance of getting caught by Kibum was higher.
Suddenly the phone started to make a noise and it made Taemin gasp and he felt his heart drop an inch. He looked immediately at Kibum, but he was still fast asleep. Taemin looked at the screen of the phone and saw Jonghyun's reply.
06:35 Jonghyun to Kibum
kibum wth? minho took him home
06:36 Kibum to Jonghyun
Ok thanks! It's Taemin btw, pls don't tell Kibum
06:37 Jonghyun to Kibum
whatever
Taemin deleted the chat and looked on Kibum's phone if he could find Minho's address. Luckily it wasn't that difficult and he knew where it was.
When he came outside it was already light and he felt exhaustion falling down on him. He yawned and lit on a cigarette and started his way towards Minho, who luckily only lived 15 minutes subway away.
He arrived at Minho's house and when he stood before the door of the small house it dawned upon him that it was still very early and that it was kind of rude to disturb someone so early in the morning. He sighed, but he just had to know how Jinki was so he pushed the doorbell.
The door opened and there stood Minho in a neat blue suit. Taemin gazed at it and then at Minho's face which looked not so kind.
“Well, hello there barbie...” Minho said humorless.
Taemin scowled. “Well, hello there Ken!” Taemin mimicked annoyed.
A crooked smile appeared on Minho's face.
“Is Jinki here?” Taemin asked immediately.
Minho shook his head. “He just left, but why do you want to know that? You better shouldn't bother with him anymore. You already did enough, little monster.”
Taemin pouted, “I only want to apologize.”
Minho started to laugh loudly “I have to go to work, go away please.” he did a step backwards and wanted to close the door. “Please! Tell me where Jinki lives, I really mean it.”
Minho stopped and looked Taemin in the eyes, which made Taemin a bit nervous.
“Go figure that out on your own, if you are that serious.” and he closed the door with a loud bang.
Taemin winched at the sound and let his shoulders drop. He stood there not knowing what to do and after a few minutes the door got opened again and Minho stepped outside. The sight of Taemin still standing in his front yard made him sigh.
“I don't want a barbie statue in my garden, please.” he murmured.
Taemin only looked up and narrowed his eyes. Minho walked past him and unlocked his car. He turned around a little while opening the door of his car. “He lives in the small apartment next to the library.” and he stepped in and drove away.
He actually wanted to go to Jinki's apartment immediately after wards, but when he got at the subway, he noticed himself in a big mirror that stood there in the hall. It shocked himself and he kept on looking at his reflection. His long blonde hair a big mess, eyeliner smudged out and his clothes too trashy for this time of the day. He should first take a nap, shower and put some normal clothes on.
He went straight to his own home, but noticed he forgot his cellphone in Kibum's bedroom. He would pick that up later when he'd apologized to Jinki. Taemin lived together with Kibum in the same apartment complex, but in different rooms. The only reason why his parents let him live on his own. It always made Taemin snort at the thought that his parents thought that Kibum was a serious, normal guy, but all the better for him.
He entered his room and after he aggressively putted out his shoes he dropped himself on his bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up it was already 7 pm. He took a shower and told himself it was time to put some decent clothes on. So he took his mint colored skinny jeans, tank top, oversized leopard hoodie and his sneakers. Tighten his hair in a ponytail.
The library was actually quite close by his own apartment, he noticed and he already felt ashamed that he never came here. He stood before the huge building and when he looked around, the memories slightly came back from this place.
He giggled softly at the vague butterfly feelings he got in his stomach, even when it all was so bittersweet. He noticed immediately the apartment on the corner of the library and ran towards it. It was a strange kind of building, but Taemin was happy he could see a sign with Lee Jinki on it and pushed the button. He waited for the intercom with Jinki's voice, but nothing came.
After a while Taemin wanted to leave, but just when he wanted to move the front door opened and there stood Jinki, panting and holding his knees to get his breath back. “I'm sorry” he still panted “My intercom-thing is broke, so I have to open the door myself.” he looked up and when he saw Taemin, his face changed in something painful.
Taemin gave a small smile. “Ehm” looking at Jinki gave him a weird feeling and he started to get nervous. Jinki wore a worn-out shirt and some sweatpants and his face looked horribly pale. He grabbed the door and it looked as if he almost lost his balance.
“Are you okay?” Taemin asked as he came closer to Jinki. When Jinki looked at Taemin his eyes rolled away and he felt backwards. “Oh fuck!” Taemin yelled and landed on his knees next to an unconscious Jinki.
