"Hello, Hello," they all sang the ending with big smiles on their flustered faces.
The crowd cheered, drowning out the ending of the song. The five shining stars stood in a slight semi-circle on the stage after their performance. Jinki was speaking now, thanking everyone that was present and all the crew for making the performance work. Before the leader could finish the first sentence, Kim Jonghyun had gone into his own world, smiling absent mindedly. His eyes had been roaming the fans for a while before looking at the members one by one. Everybody had different expressions on their faces.
He looked tired and completely out of breathe. He had tightly squeezed his eyes shut a few times, trying to calm himself down. His face was flushing with colour. The boy kept taking big gulps of air, in need of more oxygen in his lungs. Hot, sticky sweat drenched his whole body and face but he still kept a grin on his face. His hair stuck to his face and neck, framing it in a way. The other members didn't notice the maknae's rare fatigue. Only Jonghyun had.
Jonghyun was half glad, half uneasy that Taemin had been standing right across from him. With big eyes, he scanned the young boy, feeling his eyes take in details he never noticed before. Taemin had grown up so much, that's all he could finalize.
Then suddenly Taemin looked up and caught Jonghyun's eyes. If it were possible, Temin’s red face had deepened in colour. It looked like he took a silent intake of breathe. Even though Jonghyun's smile was steady and warm, his insides started going crazy. At the sight of the apparently embarrassed boy, Jonghyun's stomach did a strange flip and his heart pounded in his rib cage.
Taemin quickly looked away, focusing his gaze on Jinki who had now done a final thank you and dropped his hand, letting the MC take over. Jonghyun still couldn't take his eyes off the young boy though. His stare would falter for a while before trailing his eyes back up. Jonghyun bit his lip to stop from letting a highly amused smirk spread across his lips. After a while he couldn't hold it in anymore and he wanted to badly to catch the maknae's eyes again.
The MC had walked up onto the stage and he handed Jonghyun, which was closest to him, a box of tissues. As the elder man rambled on with what he had to, Jonghyun pulled out a few tissues to pass to the members. Kibum snatched the box away from him and furiously withdrew the contents, causing the crowd in front of them to squeal.
Without realizing what got over him, Jonghyun walked to Taemin with slight hops in his steps. Taemin gulped and tried to maintain his smile as his hyung came closer. It was like time had slowed, making it seem that it was taking Jonghyun hours to reach him. The older boy wore a weird expression that confused him. It was mixed, really. Taemin pinpointed amusement, definitely amusement, and also... adoration... love?
Jonghyun's heart fluttered as he stood in front of the young boy. He gave Taemin a toothy, cute smile before reaching up and wiping the side of his sweaty face with the tissue. Jonghyun felt Taemin shiver a little when the tissue came into contact with his skin. Jonghyun bit his lip again.
"Taemin, have I ever told you how cute you are?" he heard himself whisper. It just came out. He really didn't have any intention of saying that.
"Hyung?" Taemin gave him a small smile, indicating that he hadn't heard him.
Jonghyun took this as an opportunity and leaned in closer; much too close for Taemin, to be honest.
"You're so cute."
The tissue dropped slowly, now wiping the maknae's neck. Jonghyun lips brushed momentarily over Taemin's earlobe. Jonghyun felt him let out a shaky breathe and he chuckled a little.
"Jonghyun hyung," he quickly whispered.
"Yes?"
"How can you be so relaxed?"
Jonghyun couldn't answer because he certainly wasn't. Sure, his face was cool and a smirk played on his lips, but Taemin didn't know what he was really feeling. How his heart was racing, as if it were trying to explode through his chest. How his stomach did flips and karate moves. Jonghyun just smiled, placing his lips at the skin under Taemin's jaw.
"I'm not," Jonghyun mumbled against it and quickly pulled away before anyone could see it.
Apparently very lost in the moment, the two of them didn't hear the fans literally lose their voice for screaming over the 'fan service'. To Jonghyun, fan service didn't have any meaning. It wasn't real, most of the time. Even though it seemed more than real to fans, only SHINee knew whether there was any chemistry between two members and whether it was just a little show. Now, the other three members had a special glint in their eyes that the crowd couldn't see.
This wasn't fan service.
It was real.
