Stop Time (1/2)
Jonghyun felt Key's lips pressed onto his own. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">What is he doing?
"K-Key?" He stuttered and backed away from him.
"Before you leave me, please answer this one question. Do you ever hurt? Because I wonder if you hurt like me."
His question took Jonghyun by surprise. He was about to answer but decided not to. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">Now's not the time to tell him. His body trembled as he remembered how Key's lips fit perfectly with his. They were silky and moist with rain water hydrating them. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">I have to go before I loose control. Key doesn't have to know about my feelings. It's for the best, I can't afford to hurt him if we don't work out in the end. Turning his body around, Jonghyun ran away from Key.
Everything was a blur as Jonghyun ran back home. Tears streamed down his face, releasing the happiness he felt inside. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">All along Key has been in love with me. I-I can't believe it! He crashed onto his couch, not caring about the water that had begun to soak the leather. Jonghyun smiled to himself and touched his lips.
"If only I had the courage to tell him when I first felt this way. I'm always too late, when it comes to expressing my love."
His eyes got heavy as he reminisced about the memories he had with Key.
"Come on Jonghyun. You can tell him how you really feel when he comes home. If in the end it doesn't work out, then I guess it's not meant to be then." He gave himself a small pep talk. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">I'll make him dinner tonight. Right after a quick nap. Jonghyun closed his eyes and nodded off to sleep, still wearing his wet clothes.

"Hello?" Jonghyun groggily said into the phone.
"Yah- it's Minho. Let's go out to eat tonight!"
He paused before he answered Minho back. "Sorry I can't. I'm busy tonight."
"Come on hyung, you left me earlier. I want to talk to you about something tonight anyways."
"I can't Minho. I really have something to do." He paused again. "A-and I think we should be friends, if that's what you wanted to talk about." Jonghyun got up and headed to the kitchen.
Minho was silent. "Oh, okay hyung. I understand. I'll talk to you later." He hung up the phone.
Jonghyun sighed. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">I always end up hurting people. The frown on his face was soon replaced with a smile. He traced his lips, remembering the kiss he shared with Key. "Kimchi stew it is." He said outloud and began to cook for Key.
Jonghyun glanced at the clock. 8:45pm. He texted Key as he ran to the bathroom to quickly shower. <i style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">Yah- come home now. Be home within 15 minutes or else I'm locking you outside tonight.Jonghyun giggled to himself and entered the bathroom.
Key knocked on Onew's door, realizing where his feet brought him.
