Pairing/Focus: Jonghyun/Key, Jonghyun/Jessica
Summary: Key and Jonghyun are best friends, but what happens when Jonghyun gets a girlfriend Key hates? Will they fall closer together or hang loose for the rest of time.
Key threw down his dance bag and took a seat next to it. His practice ended later than expected that night and he was wondering where his mom could be. She had never been late picking him up before.
He looked out into the parking lot but the blue van his mother always drove was no where to be found. Unzipping the side pocket of his bag , Key grabbed his cell phone and flipped it open. New voicemail blinked on the screen. Key wiped the trickling sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and placed his ear to the phone. Instantly his mother’s message played.
“ASSSH Kibum I‘m so sorry I can‘t pick you! Forgive I will make it up to you. Love you. Bye.”
The message cut off and the robotic voice on the phone spoke directions, “If you would like to save this message please press 5, if you chose to delete this message please press 7.”
Key pressed seven and quickly sent Jonghyun a text message.
To: My husband JjongJ
Jjong I need a favor
A response followed shortly
From: My husband JjongJ
What do you want Kibum it’s Jonghyun’s GIRLFRIEND Jessica
Key had not expected Jessica to answer his text message and was slightly peeved at how she stated she was Jonghyun’s girlfriend. It wasn’t like he didn’t know about their relationship, hell he’s practically the reason the two are together. Trying to keep a friendly tone Key texted back:
To: My husband JjongJ
Hello Jessica, are u with Jjong? I need to speak with him right away.
Jessica situated herself in one of the wooden chairs at Jonghyun’s kitchen table waiting for the boy to return. He stepped away from the table to find his math book located somewhere in his room, momentarily leaving his phone in Jessica’s sole control. As Jonghyun searched for his lost book Jessica replied:
From: My husband JjongJ
U and him speak all the time during school, y don’t u let me and my BOYFRIEND relax alone.
Key could not believe what Jessica had written him, he thought she was a nice girl, but clearly he was wrong. Key didn’t care if Jessica was his best friend’s girlfriend or the Queen of England, he would not tolerate being spoken to like that. Divaness oozed from Key’s fingers as they flew across his phone’s keyboard.
To: My husband JjongJ
Listen and listen good I need to speak with Jonghyun right now, understood? Oh and stop trying to change my name in JJONG’s phone, its locked by a password. <3
Jessica huffed at the comeback, how did Key know about her attempt to change his phonebook entry name? Hearing Jonghyun enter the kitchen once again, she hastily erased her conversation with Key and closed the phone.
“What are you doing?” Jonghyun walked to the table, math textbook under his arm.
“Nothing,” Jessica said a little to quickly, shoving the phone behind her back. Jonghyun, too worried about Key to pay any attention on anything else was oblivious to notice this and sat down across from Jessica. As Jonghyun bent down to receive his recently found textbook, Jessica swiftly takes the stolen phone and places back on the table. A smile of accomplishment laying on her lip, proud of her ninja skills.
Key hasn’t called or texted me yet, that’s not like him. His practice ended already so what could he be doing? I hope nothing is wrong.
Just then the answer to all of Jonghyun’s questions were answered. A small vibration from his phone shook him from his thoughts. Jonghyun smiled as he read the caller id: My 2nd Umma
“Yoboseyo?”
“Jonghyun-ah can you pick up Key from his dance practice today? I have to work.”
Relief flooded Jonghyun as he discovered Key’s situation and he promised to pick up the boy right away leaving Jessica to frown at the umma’s request, not wanting to part with her boyfriend.
Stupid Kibum, Jessica thought, sitting in the passenger seat of Jonghyun’s car… on her way home.
--------------------
After a half and hour waiting for a miracle Key began to think he would be stuck walking al the way back home. Giving up hope, Key lifts his bag, slinging it over his shoulders. He passed the convenient store on the corner when a black car started to drive slowly next to him, matching his pace. WTF Key thought but smiled after looking at the familiar face in the driver’ seat.
“Get in.” Jonghyun called motioning Key to his car. Key happily followed Jonghyun’s order, running in front of the car to the passenger side. Once buckled up Key asked how Jonghyun knew he needed a ride home. With a chuckle Jonghyun told Key about his phone call with Key’s mother and how she couldn’t give the dancer a ride home.
“Why didn’t you call me,” Jonghyun asked , upset that his best friend hadn’t requested for his assistance.
“I didn’t want to bother you and Jessica,” Key responded remembering the conversation between he and the blonde had earlier that night.
“Bummie you’re never a bother, please ask me next time you need something, anything alright”. He placed his hand on top of Key’s, keeping the other on the steering wheel. Key could tell Jonghyun was being sincere, the worry he had for the younger boy evident in his expression.
Intertwining their fingers together Key agreed. “Ok Jongie, I will.”
Joyful at Key’s answer, Jonghyun smiles and decides that since Key’s mom is at work Key would spend the night at his house.
