Taemin slides down the door of Jonghyun's study. He rubs his hands against his cheeks, trying to make the red color go away, but he just adds to it. Sighing he looks around the room, wondering how many stuff one could possibly keep in one room. He doesn't know why he suddenly kissed Jonghyun on his cheek, but he knows he likes it. Just having someone to care for, mostly it is the other way around, but it's the thought which counts. Taemin stands up and carefully walks around the room, avoiding all heavy objects and badly stacked documents. The room would be such a mess if he accidently bumps into something. Not only he would be stuck, taking ages to return everything to its original place, he is sure Jonghyun would freak out, ranting about how he can't possibly finds the documents he needs. "As if he can in this mess…" Taemin rolls his eyes at the thought, his eyes suddenly catching a box not far from him. It's an inconspicuous box, but nonetheless Taemin is attracted to it. Taking the box from his place, still managing to sends a stack of documents flying all over the room, he reads the text writing on the cover. "Special Memories from Kim Jonghyun" The things in this box are not meant to be seen by other than the owner, Taemin knows this really well, but curiosity gets the better of him. Inside the box are photo's and collectable items. He takes the photo's and scans through them. Every photo is one of Jinki, sometimes with Jonghyun and just a few with Key in it. Confused he turns a photo of Jonghyun and Onew brightly smiling to see small scribbling on it. He strains his eyes to read it. '16th of July, 2004. First time going to a theme park without our parents. I love Jinki-hyung's smile~.' He stares at the writing, taking another photo and reading, 'Staying over at Jinki-hyungs'. He looks adorable in those pajama's.' He repeats the action multiple times, only reading 'Jinki, Jinki, Jinki.' Taemin feels his hands starting to shake and breathing becomes difficult. "Why am I like this?"
The knock on the door sets him to action, hastily putting everything back in the box, putting it in its place as the door opens. "You want something to eat? We didn't exactly eat breakfast." Jonghyun's head appears around the corner and his eyes immediately land on the documents lying on the floor, he quickly glances at Taemin, noticing he doesn't look at him. The air feels a little heavier than normal, Taemin also not being his bubbly self. Jonghyun quirks an eyebrow, "Did you hear me, Taemin?" He watches as Taemin springs to life, replying with a shakily "Y-yes, I did hear you. Food sounds great…" And he is already in the kitchen by the time Jonghyun opens his mouth to ask Taemin what's wrong.
Jonghyun looks around the room, again his gaze automatically falling upon the documents so he decides to put them back. 'Wait…Those were lying underneath my memory box…' His eyes widen in realization and he quickly checks the contents of the box. Disorganized. The wrong photo lies on top and he knows for sure Taemin has read the captions on the back of the photographs. In frustration he throws the box through the room, turning it into a battlefield. 'Calm down, count to ten, take a deep breath, count to ten and breathe out. Repeat.' He eyes the clock, sighing as the day was just begun, it being 10AM now. His stomach growls telling him to eat. He drags his feet to the kitchen, avoiding eye contact with Taemin and begins stuffing his face with food.
The plates are washed and the leftover food is put in the fridge. There is one person feeling really uncomfortable, sitting in this house, where he is now a little over a week. Taemin doesn't dare to turn on the television or do anything else, the cold treatment from Jonghyun isn't something he had seen coming. 'He found out I saw his photo's?' Taemin hugs the cushion, wondering what he should do. 'I can't possibly face him straight on. Oohh… What to do?' He buries his head in the pillow, trying to force the negative thoughts out.
Jonghyun is in the bathroom brushing his teeth. 'I can't believe that boy just goes through my stuff like that. Never heard of privacy, I'm sure. And to think I thought I fell in love with this kid. Hhmph. Don't think so.' Angrily he fixes his hair, putting on some classy tuxedo. He watches his reflection in the mirror, pleased with the outcome. In the bedroom he puts his ear studs in and slips on a white golden watch. 'Better get going, or else I'll be late. Can't have Onew and Key waiting, however I think I'm the one who will be waiting…' Recalling the events which occurred earlier. He shudders at the mental images his mind provides, waving a hand in front of him as if he can flutter the thoughts away. 'One quick check on Taemin and I'm gone here.'
'Taemin?' Hearing his name, he pulls his head up from the cushion, seeing Jonghyun dressed all high class and his mind just can't comprehend the situation. "Why are you dressed like that?" He points a finger towards Jonghyun, making him raise an eyebrow. "I thought I told you I will attend the award show, Super Junior is coming out, and they have a high possibility of winning. I'll be back around 11PM after I have dropped Jinki and Kibum off." He ignores the sad expression on Taemin's face. "Why can't I come and Jinki-hyung and Kibum-hyung can?" "They have a reason to be there. You can watch TV if you want, I will be going now." Jonghyun grabs his car keys and walks away, not paying anymore attention to Taemin.
The lonely feeling gets to Taemin when he hears the front door falling shut. He feels miserable, not wanting to be alone, and yet he is abandoned by the one who he thought cared for him. 'I shouldn't expect more. He probably noticed I looked into his belongings.' He groans out in frustration, how more stupid can one act? He should've just ignored the curiosity, because now the situation isn't a promising one. They only know each other for about a week? No way he will be easily forgiven. Especially not when those memories are precious. Taemin flicks on the TV watching a variety show to pass time.
At 3PM he changes the channel, seeing a red carpet appearing on the screen. 'This must be the award show Jonghyun was telling me about.' He sees Super Junior making their entrance, looking as handsome as ever doing their trademark greeting. His breath is caught in his throat as he sees Jinki and Kibum, arms linked together. The reporter blabbers on about what kind of relationship the two must have, however when they question them about it, they say they're just best friends. Taemin doesn't really pays attention to the words which are flowing from the speakers, his gaze is focused on one particular guy with blond hair.
"The entrance of Kim Jonghyun, famous songwriter and composer in the Korean music industry. He even gets requests from American and European artists to write songs for their new albums. His popularity is the highest since he started out at the age of sixteen, his looks are the ones everyone could easily fall for and it is rumored he has a special relationship with Lee Jinki, the famous producer and market leader in the music industry. His company holds the most successful artists Korea has ever known, most famous at the moment being Super Junior. He is only twenty, but already a very promising businessman. But earlier we saw him arriving with Kim Kibum, eighteen years, commonly known as Key, Korea's most famous designer. His designs are worldwide known and many Hollywood stars have his creations in their closet. Maybe later tonight we will get the chance to find out more about the relationship these three men have. This was reporter Han Eunja, for Entertainment News. My colleagues will take over from here."
Taemin can only stare with open mouth as he hears how successful and famous these three are, 'And I know them personally!' He sits almost in the television by now, but when other artists appear he sprints to the kitchen to get himself some drinks and snacks. He is back in time to see Jonghyun, Key and Jinki take place at the same table, animatedly chatting and laughing. The feeling of being left out takes over again, but he argues with it. The understanding is there, it would be weird if Jonghyun just showed up with a boy, one who is not famous to say the least, and they just had a 'fight', if you could call it that. He slumps in the couch but visibly tenses when he sees a gorgeous woman approaching Jonghyun and kissing him on the cheek. His sharp vision registers a hand, Jonghyun's hand, around the woman's waist when he leans close to say something in her ear. He feels cheated, and he hates himself for the jealousy he feels. Really, Jonghyun is not his. 'Jonghyun is not mine? What am I thinking?' He is shocked to feel a tear coming from his eye. He wipes it away, looking at the moisture on his hand, not believing the tears are really coming. He watches as the woman whispers something to Jonghyun, her fingers delicately touching his neck and when Jonghyun gives her a gentle smile he feels like his heart is torn out. 'I want Jonghyun to be here, I want him to be mine.'
