Jonghyun is busy writing lyrics and singing along with the radio like always when he had no schedule to go to. He writes something down with long and slow motions as if he isn't sure on how to spell the words. He eyes the sentence on the paper whispering the lyrics on a beat only known to him, before setting his pencil on the paper and dragging a long line through it. He sighs and taps his foot to the beat coming from the speakers of the radio, his head bobbing up and down while he stares at the almost blank paper.
Taemin sits legs crossed in the doorway, staring with big eyes at Jonghyun. He doesn't speak or indicates he is there and wants to ask something, Jonghyun probably doesn't know. Taemin watches as Jonghyun writes something on the paper, before letting his voice out once again and scratching the line he wrote down seconds ago. The movements capture Taemin and he stares with his mouth opened.
Jonghyun decides he needs something to drink, because singing for three hours straight isn't something to do without making sure your throat is not dry. He swirls around and gets an heart attack seeing Taemin staring at him looking like he's some pretty angel in a daze.
"Jeez, how long have you been there?!" Jonghyun exclaims, scaring Taemin out of his stupor.
"Ah, hyung! I wanted to ask you something!" Taemin says, standing up and ignoring Jonghyun's question on why he had been sitting there. Jonghyun raises one eyebrow, usually he doesn't get ignored by the magnae like that.
"Let me get my drink first." Jonghyun rummages the fridge in search for orange juice with Taemin bouncing behind him, like a little kid. Jonghyun sets himself on a chair of the dining table.
"So ask away." He lifts the glass to his mouth.
"What is it like to kiss someone?" And spits his juice all over the table, choking on it. Taemin looks at him with innocent eyes, and Jonghyun looks down blushing, muttering he doesn't know.
"Want to find out with me, hyung?" Taemin says it like he is some little angel, but doesn't fall for it. No way he's going to handle the umma when he returns from his schedule with Jinki. He pushes Taemin a little away when the magnae closes in on him, returning to the bedroom and his desk with the unfinished lyrics, locking the door behind him.
After a while Jonghyun finds he shouldn't have drunken so much juice in one go. So he slips as silent as possible from the room, trying not to get the attention of Taemin and closes the door of the bathroom with a sigh.
"Hyung…" Jonghyun freezes, he knows that voice too well. Slowly he turns around to stand eye in eye with a half naked Taemin [thank God he still has his boxers on] and feels his face flush a bright red.
"I was going to take a shower, want to join me?" The innocence makes it seem like nothing is wrong, but oh, Jonghyun's mind is providing so much rated material right now in his head. He waves his hands in front of him, aggressively shaking 'no', before he stumbles over the words making clear he needs to use the toilet.
"Oh, well that's okay." Taemin slides his boxers down and Jonghyun is fast to look away and he waits till he hears the shower turned on and sees the shower curtain drawn from the corner of his eyes. He sighs again and finishes his business he came to do.
"Hyung, I think yours is pretty big." Jonghyun splutters incoherent words at the magnae for saying such things.
"I mean your head hyung. What kind of perverted hyung are you anyways?" Jonghyun cries in his mind at the evilness of the 'cute, little' magnae.
When Taemin bumps into Jonghyun on his way to the bedroom, something happens neither of them expected. Their lips brush slightly against each other, sending electrifying sparks through their bodies. Jonghyun jumps back in shock and Taemin just stares at him, before his cheeks gain a little colour. At the sight of the flustered boy in front of him, Jonghyun's mind goes into overload, but he freezes when the door clicks and Key comes in with Jinki on his heels.
"I'm home! I hope you've both been good." And before Key can question why they are standing there like awkward kids in the hallway Jonghyun and Taemin both bolt for the bedroom slamming the door shut.
Taemin dresses quickly while Jonghyun just stares at his paper. He only turns around when Taemin says he is fully dressed in his pyjamas, their roles reverse, Jonghyun slipping on his sleeping clothes while Taemin stares at the lyrics.
"Hyung, you know, these are really good." Taemin says, blushing.
"I almost think you're in love, the way you wrote it."
Jonghyun stops midway on pulling his shirt over his head, thinking what he thought about when he wrote that. His eyes widen in realization and dart to the subject of his love. He says nothing and clearly Taemin doesn't want to ask further, because he walks away when Key yells dinner is ready.
That night Jonghyun lies on his bed, watching Taemin's sleeping figure at the other side of the room. Minho, who usually occupies the middle bed, isn't here, probably staying over at Super Junior's dorm or at one of the Dream Team hyungs'. Jonghyun finds himself falling asleep to the sound of Taemin's breathing but he jolts awake when Taemin whimpers.
Silently he walks to Taemin bed, sitting on the edge, seeing how Taemin tosses and turns, sweating and his brows furrowed. Typical signs of a nightmare. He contemplates on what to do before he slips under the covers with the younger boy, holding him close to his chest. It calms Taemin down and Jonghyun smiles. At least he still can be a good hyung when the boy is asleep. Only… he isn't asleep anymore. He watches Jonghyun with big eyes, opening his mouth to scream but Jonghyun covers his mouth with his hand.
"Sshh!! You had a nightmare." He whispers and Taemin relaxes, snuggling a little closer to the warm body of his hyung.
"Hyung, for who are those lyrics?" Taemin asks him with a slight tremble in his voice. Jonghyun doesn't know what to say.
"I don't know." He replies and Taemin looks hurt, burying his head into the crook of Jonghyun's neck and Jonghyun feels his shirt become wet.
"I like you, Jonghyun." It is sobbed into his shoulder, but he hears it clearly. It now makes sense why Taemin asked him all those questions and he wants to laugh for the magnae's silliness, but the situation doesn't call for it. So he chooses for another option. Confess.
"Don't say you don't know for who you wrote that song." Another sob before Jonghyun pulls Taemin's chin up so they can lock eyes.
"I like you. I wrote it for you." Jonghyun kisses his forehead. He holds Taemin tighter.
"But I don't want to take your innocence. I'm curious too, you know. How it would feel like just to hold you in my arms like this, saying I love you, doing things together, or just kiss." He watches the emotions flash across Taemin's face, not knowing to settle on which emotion, it ends on the confused look.
"So you like me, but don't want to do anything with me, so I still have my innocence?" Taemin asks and Jonghyun nods. Taemin thinks before asking Jonghyun another thing.
"Can we kiss? Because well, we like each other?" And Jonghyun nods again before bringing himself closer to the magnae and gently pecks his lips.
"Like that?" Taemin is beet-red and tries to disappear in Jonghyun's shirt, the way he hides his face in it. Jonghyun laughs and winds his arms around Taemin's waist pulling him into a crushing hug.
"You're so cute! But now we're going to sleep!" And he watches how Taemin's face becomes even more red. He chuckles and brushes his thumb over Taemin's cheek, giving him on last and soft kiss on the lips, before laying his head down on the pillows, closing his eyes and dragging Taemin half onto him.
The next morning Jonghyun wakes up to a spatula coming down on his head and Key screeching in his ear for corrupting their magnae. So much for love.
