"Why did you do it?" Kibum asked with trembling voice. Well that was one hell of a question. "What did I do?" It didn't bother him for not knowing, but Kibum clearly had tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't do anything..." Jonghyun really didn't know. But now there was rage in Kibum's eyes, telling him something was seriously wrong.
Kibum wouldn't get upset over nothing. "Kibum... Can you please tell me? What did I do?"
"WHAT DID YOU DO?! You really don't know?! After you hurt me! Not only me, but also the others! Taemin, Minho and Jinki-hyung!"
Jonghyun was now fidgeting with the zipper of his jacket. "Kibum, please... I can't remember..."
"Tell me why I'm not surprised! I too wouldn't remember after 4 bottles of soju! What were you thinking?!"
'Four bottles of soju?...' Jonghyun's eyes widened at the statement.
'Don't think you can go all puppy on me Jjong! It's not working! I'm pissed as Hell!' Kibum declared.
'That's not what I'm trying to do Kibum…' Jonghyun really wished someone could save him. He was tired and had a headache. But it was only 4PM so he knew he couldn't go to sleep. 'Where were the others? Shouldn't they be hearing them? Especially with Key screaming at him.'
As if he could read his mind, Key told Jonghyun the others were at SuJu's dorm. "They won't be coming back tonight. So tell me why you did it!"
Jonghyun did not move nor did he say anything. He just stood in the middle of the living room, the same spot he had been standing in for 3 hours straight.
"Jonghyun…" Keys' voice was threatening. Jonghyun couldn't really blame him for getting impatient.
"Key…" Jonghyun began, "I really don't know okay! What should I do to remember? I tried to… but every time my heads starts hurting… Key, I don't know… I don't know…"
Key couldn't stay angry anymore, not since Jonghyun couldn't remember even after the long period he's been interrogated by him. Key sighed. "Okay, I will tell you… Just.. first sit down."
Jonghyun slowly walked over to the couch sitting down on the edge. "You know about drinking the 4 bottles of soju?" Jonghyun slowly shook his head. "I only knew after you told me, I thought I was having a migraine of some kind…" Key stared in his best friends eyes concluding he was speaking the truth. "Well, I start from where you said you went clubbing…"
flashback~
"Guys!" Jonghyun screamed down the hallway. "I'm gonna go clubbing! Onew-hyung! You want to come along?" Onew appeared from the bedroom saying he didn't come. "Taemin needs my help with his homework. You can go by yourself right? Just be sure too not cause any trouble and drive safely." Jonghyun nodded. 'Of course I'm not as stupid to cause any trouble… Onew-hyung is such a mom…well dad more like it. Key is in charge of the Umma part.' Chuckling to himself he ensured Onew there wouldn't be any causalities. Checking his clothing and hair he went for the door. "Jonghyun wait!" Jonghyun turned around to find Key standing 2 inches from his face. "WHAT! KIBUM! Don't scare me like that! I almost had a heart attack!" Now it was Key's turn to laugh before slipping the car keys and some extra money in his hand. "Don't be too late ~~" And with that he walked towards the living room. Jonghyun smiled after him, muttering a thanks which didn't go unheard to Key. After Kibum was gone from his view he turned around and made his way downstairs to the car that was parked in front of their dorm.
The loud music abused his ears as he made his way to the bar. He ordered a vodka, since he didn’t feel like drinking soju by himself. He watched the other people dancing while sipping from his vodka. He could feel some people staring at him, but he made sure not to make eye-contact. You never know what kind of people were interested in him. Lucky for him it was normal for celebrities to come here, so they weren't too surprised to see him there. "Hey, you're here alone?" The sudden question surprised Jonghyun. He wasn't aware that someone came to sit beside him. He turned to see the familiar face of Heechul grinning like a Cheshire cat. "Ah, hyung~! You're here too? I didn't see you around when I entered." "Well, I just walked right in. You like it so far? Anyone who peaks your interest?" "Hyung, it's not like that! Besides I don’t have time for a relationship, with our schedules.. it's a wonder we have even time for sleeping." Heechul looked at him before turning to the bartender to order 2 bottles of soju. He pushed the 2 bottles in Jonghyun's hands before dragging him off to a more quiet part of the club with nice soft armchairs. While flopping down in the one opposite Jonghyun, grabbing a bottle and opening it he kept talking about his own schedule and the fact he wanted to go onto stage again.
Jonghyun took the other bottle and started drinking from it, while talking animatedly with Heechul about their new songs and which celebrities they would want to meet one day. After ordering some more bottles and emptying them, Heechul choose to go back home and get some sleep before his next schedule began. "Jonghyun-ah, let's go home~. I'm sure we've drank more than enough. That was your fourth bottle~." Heechul slurred. "Nah hyung, you can go home without me, I'm going to dance for a bit and then I will head home." "Okay, goodnight." "Goodnight Heechul-hyung."
"Onew-hyung, it's 1AM already. Shouldn’t we go looking for Jonghyun? He left his cell phone at the kitchen counter." Key asked Onew when Minho and Taemin already went to bed. They had school first thing in the morning.
"Maybe you're right. I'll leave a note for the magnaes. Letting them know where we are in case they wake up. Do you know where Jong went?"
"I know, but I sure as hell don't let you go alone! I'm coming with you! I have to beat some sense into that thick head of his! Staying out this late!" fumed Key. Onew was happy he didn't go clubbing, cause he was careful enough not to get on Key's bad side. "Onew-hyung! Let's go!" "Aah.. coming!" Jinki ran after Key catching himself just in time before making a dive down the stairs. They couldn't use a dislocated leader at the moment.
Jonghyun was dancing, not that he really liked it, but it was better than being a wallflower. After the song ended he shuffled from the crowd to get another drink. "A Cola please."
He took the glass and emptied it in one go. 'Weird…This doesn't taste like Cola at all…Why am I feeling dizzy?' "Ah sir! You drank it all at once? Are you okay? It was Cola mixed with rum…You shouldn't drink it so fast." 'Aah.. That's why' "Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, but I'm really alright."
After 20 minutes Jonghyun was literally giggling like a little schoolgirl. He went over to the dance floor when he noticed someone who looked exactly like Key. He staggered his way over, but when he saw the guy from up close he wasn't like Key at all. 'Key looks much better than him…his eyes are more bright when he smiles.' Giggling silently he walked over to the DJ booth. "Hey, I was wondering… Do you have the song Abracadabra? Can I sing to it?"
The DJ looked at him like he was growing a second head but nodded nonetheless, handing Jonghyun the microphone.
"Here it is!" Jinki pulled over and Key was already out the car before it was even parked properly. "Yah! Kibum! Wait for me!" But Key had made his way into the club, not hearing Jinki shouting after him. Hurriedly he got out of the car and followed Kibum.
Inside Key was searching for Jonghyun but didn’t see him anywhere. Then the song changed and Kibum heard rather than saw where Jonghyun was. He pushed his way through the crowd towards the DJ booth. When he saw Jonghyun his jaw dropped. Jonghyun had the sexiest expression on his face he had ever seen. Shaking his head he tried not to concentrate on the facial expressions of Jonghyun. "Key…why… running so hard?" Onew was on his left side, clutching his sides and breathing heavily. "Because of that" he answered pointing towards Jonghyun singing to Abracadabra. He couldn't help but feel funny when Jonghyun suddenly locked eyes with him. "I'm like a supervisor I control you, I'm am the emperor. You cant get away from me.. " Jonghyun stuck out his tongue at him and made Onew wonder what was going on between the two of them. Jonghyun scooted over to where they were, still intently looking at Kibum. And what he did next didn’t only shock him or Key, but also the rest of the dancing persons. Jonghyun who was still singing snaked his arm around Kibum's waist and knocked their foreheads gently together. "Jjong! What are you doing? Let go of me!" Only for Jonghyun to tighten his grip on Key's waist. He leaned in and whispered in Key's ear. "Kibum-ah, do you love me?" Key's face flushed red. "N-no.. We're best frien-" His voice failing him when he felt a hand under his shirt. He lightly pushed Jong's chest to distance themselves from one another. But that motion was enough for Jonghyun to drop the mic he had been holding and press their bodies flush together.
" YAH! JONGHYUN! YOU SMELL OF ALCOHOL! YOU'RE DRUNK! LET GO!" Key began trashing around to escape the death grip he was in. Onew who had been staring at the drama playing in front of him, was too absorbed in what would happen next to actually help Key getting Jonghyun off of him. "No, I'm not letting go Kibummie~" 'Key doesn't know, but his face is such a turn-on. Mostly when he's all flustered and angry' He saw some people filming the incident with their phones, but he couldn't be bothered. Key was now pouting, knowing he was stuck. In a sudden urge Jonghyun leaned forward and pressed his lips to Key's who squealed in surprise. Jonghyun took this opportunity to deepen the kiss. Key pushed hard against Jonghyun's chest, knocking him away. He furiously wiped his mouth, before he turned to shout at Jonghyun. But as he opened his mouth to say something Jong collapsed right in front of him. "OH GOD! Jjong!!" Key yelled, hard enough for Onew to snap out of his dazed state. Everyone was whispering about what happened. But Key and Onew only concentrated on getting Jonghyun out the club and in the car.
The car ride back was silent. Onew didn't know what to say and Key obvious didn’t want to talk about it. Jonghyun laid sprawled out in the backseats. "So…" Onew started, "what do you want to do when we get back?" He was met with silence. He looked to the right only to see Key semi-conscious staring into nothingness. He didn't talk the rest of the ride.
At 2.30AM they were finally back at their dorm. Jonghyun still unconscious between them, his feet dragging across the floor. Onew fumbled with the keys while Kibum hoisted Jonghyun over his shoulder. Entering the apartment he made sure not to let Jjong's head collide with any obstacles. He carelessly threw Jong on his bed, taking of his shoes and shirt. Onew came with a washcloth to clean Jjong a bit, the smell of the club still dominating. Key looked at Onew washing Jonghyun's face. "Hhmm… Key.. that tickles…" Onew glanced at Kibum to see him staring with wide eyes. Key took his blanket and went to lay on the couch stating "I'm not sleeping in the same room with that drunk!" Onew could only sigh and hope tomorrow would be better.
Key couldn't fall asleep. Images from Jjong's face up close were plaguing him. 'Gaah!! What the hell!' Kibum pushed his face into the pillows of the couch wanting to forget what happened at the club. He still remembered the typical smell of Jonghyun's shampoo and his taste from that kiss. 'God! Why me?! Why did he do that? I'm not some girl who he likes!' That last thought struck Kibum like lightning. 'Like? Did Jonghyun like him that way?' Key felt the blood drain from his face. 'No, I shouldn't think like that. He was drunk, he can’t like me, it was just the alcohol.' Wanting to clear his thoughts, he reached for the laptop on the table and went online. What he saw there didn’t distract him at all. Kibum looked like he'd seen a ghost. Clicking the link he began reading.
Onew was in his bed staring at the ceiling. He wondered If Kibum could sleep. Slowly climbing out of his bed he made his way towards the living room. He was Key sitting at the table, tears in his eyes and face literally in the monitor. Slowly putting a hand on the others shoulder he leaned in to read the article. "SHINee's Key and Jonghyun seen kissing!" 'Oh…shit.' "SHINee members Key and Jonghyun have been seen kissing in Club CB. Bystanders declared the two were acting real close and to top it off Jonghyun ended the song he'd been singing by kissing Key on the lips."
Onew noticed some video clip of the incident at the bottom of the page. He tentatively reached for the computer mouse and clicked play. His eyes widened by seeing how clearly this was filmed. Then he saw the comments written under the video. "Ew gross! I don’t need to see this!" "What are they? Seriously need to puke now!" "I wonder what they're planning to do next? Release a sex tape?" "Can't they go burn in Hell? *Scratching eyes out*" "I hope the other three aren’t getting their disease!" "Onew was watching! And he didn't do anything! Fags!"
Onew slammed the laptop shut and pulled Key into a tight hug. "Kibum-ah, it's okay to cry. I'm sorry for not helping you…" Hearing that Kibum buried his head in Jinki's shoulder and began to cry. Taemin and Minho silently walked back to the bedroom after witnessing the scene, they both knew what happened also thanks to Jonghyun who was mumbling in his sleep.
The next morning Key's eyes were red from lack of sleep and crying. Onew wasn't in a much better condition for he'd stayed awake to comfort the younger one. Minho and Taemin came into the kitchen to eat breakfast, Jonghyun still sleeping in the bedroom. Key was trying to be cheerful but the two youngest weren't fooled by the act. "Taemin, Minho, let's go to the practice room after eating." Onew said. "Okay." came the short reply from Taemin, Minho only nodded. "Can I come with you?" "No Kibum…You’re staying here. We discussed this last night. You're going to talk to Jonghyun after he wakes up. I don't care if you don't like it. We're sleeping at SuJu's dorm, so no need to hurry." With that Onew dragged the youngest out the door, slamming it shut.
Kibum decided to watch Star King, as there was nothing to do around the dorm. He didn’t want to wake Jonghyun, feeling all awkward when he would see him. The airing of Star King finished and he was getting up from the couch when he heard some shuffling. Key froze on the spot as Jonghyun sleepily walked towards him and stretched his arms out to hug him. But before Jonghyun could wrap his arms around the younger boy he was shoved backwards. "Why did you do it?" Kibum asked with trembling voice.
"And that's the basically what happened." Then Jonghyun started sobbing, he really didn't want to hurt Kibum and the others. Key just stood there, not knowing what to do with a crying Jonghyun. Nervously he shuffled towards his best friend. As he put his arms around Jonghyun the latter began to cry harder. "Ki-Kibum.." came the muffled voice of Jonghyun. "Kibum, I-I'm so-sorry." Key began stroking his back, in order for Jjong to calm down. He settled them on the floor and continued rubbing Jonghyun's back. After what felt like an hour Jonghyun finally calmed down. Key wiped the tears from his face. "Well, it's not really because of you we are hurt… The anti's and even fans left such mean comments…" "It IS my fault Kibum, I was drunk, I did kiss you…" Jonghyun trailed off. Kibum blushed as he thought about the kiss. "Forget about it will you? It happened, nothing to do about it…" Jonghyun stared at his best friends face and then something clicked in his mind. "Actually Kibum… You can't forget about that kiss, eh?" "O-of course I can't forget it? When do you get suddenly kissed by your best friend?" His face was as red as a tomato by the time he finished. Slowly a smirk was forming on Jjong's face. "Kibum-ah… look at me~" Kibum lifted his head only to feel soft lips pressing against his own. Jonghyun pulled away to laugh at Kibum who was gaping like a fish. "Why why why?!" Key asked ten times normal speed. Jonghyun leaned in and whispered "I think someone needs to admit they actually like being kissed." Key thought about it. 'Did I really like it? But I still pushed Jjong away, that proves I don't like it. But I can’t stop thinking about that kiss. And he looked kind of sexy too… AISH! Kibum! Be a man and make up your mind!' Jonghyun was still sitting next to him grinning like an idiot when Key looked in his direction. But that smile soon faded as Kibum crawled over to him and pushed him so he was laying on his back with Kibum over him. "I didn't know you were the dominant type?" "Shut up Jjong. I'm still angry at you with all those video's over the web." "Maybe you should punish me…" Jonghyun's eyes glazed over when Kibum sat on top of him and slipped his hands under Jjong's shirt. "That's exactly what I was planning." Kibum roughly kissed Jonghyun, making him gasp in glee. Suddenly Kibum stood up and pulled Jong off the floor. "Let's watch some drama's." Kibum offered. "Sounds good." They cuddled together on the couch, just in time for the re-run of You're Beautiful.
The next morning Onew, Taemin and Minho found them cuddled up on the couch hugging each other. They automatically smiled. "Well I'm glad that they have made up." "Hyung, I think they did more than that." Taemin said pointing to their lips, red and swollen. Onew quickly pulled Taemin out of the room while telling Minho to wake the couple on the couch. Minho smirked while he shouted at his hyungdeul to wake up. They sleepily opened their eyes only to see their faces a mere inch apart. Abruptly they sprang up, blushing madly, Minho laughing at them for being so adorkable.
In the bedroom Onew hurriedly tried to explain to Taemin it wasn't what he thought his hyungs did. "But I saw it myself hyung! The video's on the internet I mean." Taemin innocently said. He laughed in himself as Onew flailed around the room asking why the world corrupted their innocent magnae.
