Pairing/Focus: Jonghyun/Taemin
Disclaimer: Once again, Unbeta-ed. plus my grammer and vocab is absolutely terrible so please please please forgive me.
"But hyung~~!! are you sure that is going to work??"
taemin stared suspicously at the machine held in jonghyun's hands.
"of course it will... this precious little baby... is a gem...."
jonghyun fondled the lie detector softly, slowly sliding his fingers over the rim of the machine.
"...it helped me found my pencil the other time."
"wasn't it just pure coincidental?!"
taemin retorted.
"...and is there even a need to have me tied up like this while you dress in such ridiculous outfit?!?!"
"........"
jonghyun had taemin tied up in rafia strings(((that was the only thing he could find in their dorm))) on their dining chair, and he himself was cladded with a maroon checkered jacket, brown woolen cap, sunglasses, a pipe in the mouth, a magnifying glass in one hand, and a lie detector in the other.
"this was how sherlock homes solved crimes."
jonghyun bent down, lowered his glasses and looked at taemin in the eye.
"he is a genius. and this is what geniuses wear. wearing like this will only increase the probability of me solving the mystery. understood?"
"....ur IQ isn't even a hundred...."
"WHAT."
"UNDERSTOOD!!!!!"
taemin screamed into jonghyun's ear.
-------------------
it all started when jinki had ran into the living room screaming....
"My red calvin klein boxers!! did u guys see it?? i can't find it! i need my red underwear to be lucky today! i need to win on running man~ and that is the only red one i have~~~ i can't lose to joon! i really can't! he'll laugh at me!"
jinki was almost tearing as he frantically threw all the cushion covers on the floor and digged through the folds of the couch they had in the living room in search of his missing undergarment.
"hyung, are u sure u didn't throw it into the laundry basket?"
minho asked. concerned.
"i searched! it isn't there!"
"it could be hidden deep in your wardrobe? you know, your wardrobe is so messy you should actually clean it up."
kibum stood up from the the couch, hands in akimbo as he looked at onew scavenging the couch impatiently. onew had just interrupted him while he was browsing through his fashion weekly magazine.
"i had the entire wardrobe turned upside down! I still can't find it!"
onew was about to tear as kibum gave a little snort. trust his leader and his usual condition again.
"hyung~~~~ hyung~!"
jonghyun came bouncing out of the bathroom, water still dripping from his hair from his bath.
"i can help you find it. no worries."
he assured his leader with a cheery face.
"i am good at finding stuff. trust me."
"really?"
onew's face lit up.
"yes. the dorm isn't that big. if you can't find it, someone must have stolen it. i'll use my lie detector to find out who the criminal is."
kibum snorted again. this time, at jonghyun.
"i need it by noon! can u help me get it by then?"
onew looked hopefully at jonghyun.
"sure sure!!"
jonghyun patted his chest.
"leave it all to me."
onew hugged jonghyun tightly in gratitude. he knew he could always count on the 2nd eldest member in SHINee.
"so....
first person to question....."
jonghyun scanned around the dorm.
".....
.....
.....
.......taemin."
and taemin choked on the banana milk that he had been drinking in the kitchen all the while.
--------------------------------------------------
"Alright. you know how this lie detector works. so... let's get started."
jonghyun had taemin's hands locked tightly on the little gadget.
"so. Tell me. have u seen jinki's underwear."
taemin trembled with fright as he knew what was going to happen to him. onew had went to the bathroom happily to shower, for he trusted jonghyun to be able to find his precious red boxers. minho and kibum, on the other hand, had went out of the dorm to avoid jonghyun and his ridiculous lie detector, leaving poor taemin to fend for himself.
"No."
exactly a second after he replied. he screamed when he felt a jolt through his hands, as the small seemingly harmless gadget, shot electrical bolts up his arm.
"i really don't! how would i know where he hid his private stuffs?!?!"
taemin was terrified. he hated how the lie detector never really worked but jonghyun had always used it to interrogate everyone, lying or not. of course jonghyun would believe that useless stuff. after all, he isn't really that bright.
jonghyun on the other hand, was elated. he love having control over the maknae like this. he was doing jinki a favour. morever, he was totally in the i-am-sherlock-holmes-and-i-am-gonna-solve-every-mystery-possible mood. taemin is just going to be his first victim for questioning. he will get to the bottom of things for sure.
"BE HONEST! DON'T LIE TO THE LIE DETECTOR!"
"Ok ok!! fine! i did see jinki hyung's hyung underwear before, not the red one though, but that was a really really long time ago and it was just because it was lying all over the floor!!!"
another jolt shot up taemin's arm and he tried his best to shake that gadget off him. however, at the rate he was all tied up, he couldn't really move a teeny weeny bit.
"GET THIS THING OFF MEEEE!! IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!!!!"
jonghyun pinned taemin down deeper into the chair and snarled.
"theez holy theeeng wuurks. never. doubt. it.
.... TELL ME THE TRUTH."
taemin couldn't handle it anymore. the electric shock that the lie detector sent was too unbearable.
"alright!! i saw it okayys. i was playing with it because it looks so cute and stuff. get me off this chair and i'll show you where i hid it!!!"
"HA! i knew it. see i told you this lie detector works..."
jonghyun was glad that taemin finally admitted to hiding jinki's red underwear.
"But no. i am not going to let you out. tell me where u hid it. i'll free you once i found it."
taemin was on the verge of tears. how on earth would he know where the boxers are! he isn't that big of a pervert to even hide his hyung's undergarments. at most, he would steal f(x)'s or snsd's bras and panties. but guys' underwear? NO WAY!!
"TELL ME!"
jonghyun sent another electric bolt up taemin's arm, inflicting another loud scream.
just then,jinki came bouncing out into the living room.
"Jonghyun jonghyun!! I found my underwear!!"
taemin and jonghyun turned to stare at jinki.
"where was it. where did taemin hide it."
jonghyun asked.
jinki looked confused and started scratching his head.
"taemin hid it? but i just wanted to say i had been wearing it all along. i realise it when i took my shirt off to shower."
Jonghyun looked at jinki wide eyed.
taemin had already fainted.
