Chapter Five: Serious loving
Jonghyun POV
It was already night time and Kibum and I were in bed, he was silent for the whole day until now,” Jong. Do you think she will come tomorrow?” I nuzzled my head into his neck and took a whiff of his shampoo,” No, why do you think that?” he shifted closer to me, his face inches away, but I knew he was being serious and there was a big chance he didn’t want to kiss. His face was unreadable,” Luna is like that, she’s always been like this. If she doesn’t get what she wants then she will end up fighting for it.” I pressed my lips on his neck, it was so soft and warm,” Well, I can tell the guards not to let her in. simple as that.” The used his elbows to get up, but I pushed him back down for more cuddling. I pressed my cheek on his chest and wrapped my arms possessively around his waist,” I love you; I can’t get enough of you today, mmh.” He automatically scoffed and ruffled my hair,” I’m surprised you didn’t try to kiss me yet, this must be a record for you, huh?” my head shot up and went in for the kiss but he turned his back to me. A few seconds later he laid on his back, I rested my head on his shoulder, taking a deep breath and letting it out, it tickled his ear. He sat up once again and laughed,” Stop playing and go to sleep, you really are like a kid, eesh.” My hand pressed under his shirt and made tiny circles with my fingers,” I am a very cute kid, aren’t I? Stop acting like you don’t like it, I know you do!” His lips curved into a sweet smile, he climbed closer and went for my cheek, but at last minute I shifted and he kissed my lips. He held his hands up,” Ahh, yah! Jong, one step at a time, haven’t you heard of moderation?” I wiped my mouth clean,” If it was one step at a time, we would be long past kissing, don’t you agree?” Kibum put on his famous ‘you are pathetic’ look and hid under the covers, like that would stop me from doing things. I pulled the thick covers off and threw them to the floor, his long legs were spread out and I sat in between them, wrapping my arms around his waist,” You can’t hide from me, we are engaged, remember?” I glanced up to see his wild expression and continued,” You can’t kill me.” He let out a sigh and I took one of his hands and playfully slapped my cheeks, his grin started appearing, it looked appetizing. His breath was hot on my skin, I leaned in and I succeeded, his soft rosy lips moved with mine. We hadn’t kissed like this since the first time, I missed it. But I’m sure he only did it so I could listen to his problems, I was doing that while amusing myself as well. He broke the kiss and traced my lips with his thumb,” That was satisfying, can we go to sleep now?” I crossed my arms and shook my head rapidly, he didn’t take that for an answer, he took the blankets from the floor and placed it over the two of us. He faced the balcony and then quickly turned around, placing a light kiss on my lips,” Good night yeobo.” I chuckled and pulled his body close enough so we were touching, it was a routine now, if he isn’t near me I can’t sleep.
Key POV
His movements were restless, of course he was awake, but I have to pretend to be asleep so he wouldn’t bother me. It’s so hard to not glance over at the sleepless prince. It hasn’t even been an hour since we’ve said goodnight and now he’s keeping me up with him, seriously. I felt the weight shift again, and he murmured out ‘I can’t sleep. What do I do now?’ I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I really wanted to tease him some more, I sat up and hit him,” Stop talking to yourself already, it’s not going to help you fall asleep. You bat.” He ran over to turn on the lights and immediately pounced on the bed and rested his head in my lap, he puckered his lips and I scoffed,” No, you don’t get rewarded for making me lose sleep.” His pout was getting stronger every second that went by, I went closer to his mouth, and he smelled like toothpaste and clean linen. I backed up and went to the couch and rolled up in sheets, I knew he was going to follow; it was an instinct by now. But he didn’t. He went into the closet and came out with a hideous outfit and swung it over my lap, he smiled and played with the hot pink fringe,” Wear it, please.” Looking at it up close was enough to set me into barf mode, I shook my head and growled,” No way am I wearing this. If you give me your puppy eyes I will really punch you in the face, prince or not.” He took the black pants off the hanger and placed it over my stretched legs, then sat down on the floor hugging the pieces of cloth tightly,” Please, it really fits you! Plus, you are going to look sexy, I never get to see your sexy side!” I picked up the oversized shirt and held it up to my chest, sighing when I saw that it did fit me perfectly, I snatched the leggings out of his clutched hands and went into the bathroom. It wasn’t too bad, and it’s not like anyone will see it except him, I glanced in the mirror and adjusted the clothing. I went outside and looked at him, my cat eyes on the prowl, he sat down and closed his legs awkwardly,” Dance to Muzik, you will look even hotter.” His words sent chills down my spine; I guess I could do it just this once. My hips swayed and my eyes stayed on the man on the couch, his mouth opened wide with awe. I laughed and went into the bathroom to change and settled on the couch next to the awake Jong, I nudged his arms,” How was it?” His fingers slipped under my shirt and attached to my waist,” Better than I expected, I knew you liked to dance to girl groups, but yeobo, you’re better.” I smiled and a knock echoed through the door, Jonghyun went to answer, he gasped,” Miyoung-ah! Hi sweetie, how are you my little princess?” A small child voice sent me looking over his head,” Jonghyun oppa, I knew you were awake! I just knew it, umma said not to bother you but I saw a light on so I tried and you opened the door.” He laughed and picked the little girl up and squeezing her tight,” How is Miyoung’s umma? Is my princess being a good girl?” She nodded and opened her mouth to reveal window teeth,” Yes, she is doing well. Oh oppa, I heard you are getting married to a boy, congratulations, but I thought you said when I’m older I could marry you. Will I still be your princess, oppa?” He nodded and looked towards me; she traced his eyes to me, still on the couch. Her tiny legs made her way over to me and sat down,” Are you going to marry my Jonghyun oppa?” I turned my body to her and grinned,” You are such a smart girl, yes I am, is that okay?” She touched my left hand and frowned,” Aren’t you supposed to be wearing a ring, oppa?” I looked down at my own hand,” Well we were sleeping and I didn’t want to lose it, aigoo Miyoung, I wish I had a clever daughter like you.” I hugged her tight and let her go back to Jonghyun, she cupped her hands around his ear and said something, he nodded and kissed her cheek,” Good night princess!” He closed the door and went over to the bed, I followed.
“What did she say?”
“She said I should ask you what you’ve been thinking about since we have been together.”
“Do you want to know?”
“Yes, I do actually.”
“Well, when I saw you I was afraid to meet you. When I met you I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you I was afraid to love you. But now that I’ve done all of that, I’m afraid to lose you.”
“Really?”
“Mm . . . but that’s the way life should be. Hey, have you heard this saying before? We were given two legs to walk, two hands to touch, two ears to listen, and two eyes to see, but why only one heart? That’s because the other one was with the one you were supposed to find, your soul mate.”
“That makes sense.”
“I never really understood it. How can you?”
“I’ve found my significant other already, you.”
“Heh, that was corny.”
“I love you Kibum. Corny as it is, I really do love you, and don’t you ever forget that.”
The ballroom was being filled up, it was so stuffy and I couldn’t even smell my own cologne. Many women made their way up to Taemin and I to congratulate us, knowing that if they laid a finger on us the guards would surely pay them a visit later on. Taemin looked stunning; he was meant to be a prince. His large eyes sparkled with the watery blue contacts, his lips spreading across those shiny white pearls and looked more than presentable, he looked perfect. I’ve never seen him this way before, I was sure he was always the happiest with me, but now it seems that changed. But of course he promised that our mother-son relationship will never cease and that kept me at ease for the time being. My eyes wandered the crowd for any sight of Luna and her minions and I certainly got what I was searching for, there they were, seated at a table glaring straight at us. I didn’t bother Taemin to look at them, it was a waste of time. I descended the stairs and made my way to the steaming table of ladies, I sat down next to Luna, I’m sure she has something to say. Her fingers grazed along my cheekbone down to my neck, and her nails skimmed my chest, it was more than uncomfortable, it was wrong. She grimaced and opened her lips slightly and pointed to little pieces of leftover appetizers,” Kibum. You see this crumb? That’s you sweetie. And this room is Summerlin Kingdom. Do you think a prince would want a nobody like you? Think again, he’s probably using you hunny. He’s going to move on as soon as he sees someone prettier. Come back home today.” Her words stung, it hit me hard, it sounded so realistic. I faked a smile,” No. Enjoy your stay at the castle, for the time being.” She huffed trying to control her anger,” Aren’t you forgetting something, Kibum?” Her voice sounded too confident,” Taemin is still a minor, and I’m still his legal parent, and I recall a certain law where he can’t go somewhere and not be returned to me.” She was right, I completely forgot about it, I went into a frenzy. She enjoyed it,” But, if you give Taemin to me I’ll surely take care of him.” I jumped up,” No, I’ll go with him too, no way am I leaving him with you. We will be there tomorrow.” She looked up and I continued,” But. We will only be there for our usual hours, and nothing more. Deal?” She bit her tongue and eventually nodded,” Okay Kibum, see you two tomorrow. Come on girls, we’re going home.”
After telling Taemin the news he ran out into the courtyard and refused to talk to me. I gathered up a bag of rice balls and headed outside in search of him, he was crouched down with his head between his legs. He still looked gorgeous, I sat next to him on the soft grass and handed him a rice ball,” You should eat, I’m sure Minho would want that.” The boy lifted his tiny head to expose his wet puffy eyes to the air, still whimpering he took the rice ball into his mouth,” I don’t want to go back, I really don’t Kibum, I can’t stand it there! I want to die when I’m near her!” I understood him through all his awkward squeals and groans, patting his back so he wouldn’t choke on the rice clump that was still lingering in his mouth. I leaned in closer to kiss the wet, soft cheek,” I’ll be right next to you, just like I promised. I’ll never leave you, not until you want me to, I love you Taemin.” His bubbly eyes appeared and let out the last few tears,” Okay Kibum. I’ll go, thank you for being here with me.” I stood up and held out my hand, he latched on and we watched as the ballroom was being emptied. I know this isn’t the last thing Luna has in mind, it can’t possibly be. I’ll be ready, she will not be the reason that I give up.
