Thirteen (1/1)

Minho was writing a report to his boss when his phone rang; with out glancing at the caller id number he answered it, “Hello”“Hyung?” Taemin spoke on the other line.Minho smiled and said, “Hey, Taemin what’s up? Is everything alright?”Taemin smiled a little shyly and said, “Everything’s fine I just wanted to call and tell you that Key’s doctor called me, he was looking for you, I told him that you were out of town due to work and I gave him your number. He said that he will call you either tomorrow or later today, he said it’s important.”Minho blinked as he took in the information, “Did he tell you anything else?” He questioned the younger.Taemin shook his head, “No nothing else.”Minho sighed, “Alright thanks Taemin.” After saying their good bye’s, Minho leaned back into his chair and rubbed his straining eyes, ‘I wonder what the doctor found that is so urgent that he had to call Taemin?’ Minho thought he then placed his phone back on the table next to him and continued working, while patiently waiting for the doctors call.  ▫▫▫▫▫ Key opened his eyes to Jonghyun sleeping on the floor wrapped up in a black blanket and pillow. Key saw the shut off laptop on the floor with its cover still open and the numerous amounts of paper with little notes and addresses scribbled down on every blank spot on each page that could possibly fit onto the sheets of paper. He reached for his wheel chair and sat in it, wheeling himself sleepily into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and inspected the food on the shelves, sighing he took out some milk and shut the door; he then saw the box of cereal in the back on one of the counters. Silently groaning to himself, he reached for a spatula that was easily reachable and stretched his arm for the cereal box. Once that was accomplished, he rolled over to the dining table and placed the box of cereal and milk onto the hard wood surface of the table, then disappearing again to grab a spoon, and then he dreaded this part the bowl, he grabbed the spatula once more and opened the cupboard he then saw a white bowl and reached for it, got a hold of it and carefully slid it out of the cupboard but, then it slipped off of the edge and rolled off the counter and broke, making the white pieces of the now broken bowl scatter across the floor. Key froze silently hoping that Jonghyun didn’t hear the crash but, today probably wasn’t Key’s lucky day, Jonghyun rushed into the kitchen and saw the scene. The younger began to panic knowing that Jonghyun could start yelling at him. The older boy sighed and went to get a broom and put on some slippers and began sweeping up the broken pieces of his white bowl. “You know you could’ve woken me up.” He grumbled a little bit, obviously upset. Key kept silent and his head subconsciously hung low in shame. When Jonghyun finished cleaning he threw away the broken bowl and looked at Key, “Hey, “ Jonghyun lifted the younger boy’s chin and continued, “no use crying over spilled milk, don’t worry ok it’s just a bowl, I have other ones.” Key nodded still a little upset. Jonghyun sighed and said, “You’re more upset about the bowl than I am, don’t be so upset it’s just a bowl. Please don’t be upset, if I’m not upset then you shouldn’t be either.” Key rolled away to the dining table and lifted himself onto the one of the chairs and waited for Jonghyun to make breakfast. Jonghyun took the cereal and milk and put them back in their respectful spots before taking out a pan and making an omelet. Key just sat in his spot quietly awaiting his breakfast. ▫▫▫▫▫ After breakfast, Jonghyun looked at Key and said, “Do you want to come with me to run some errands?” Key blinked slightly surprised at the sudden invitation. Jonghyun shrugged, “I have the day off today but, I do have a few things I need to do into and since you’re sitting here at home all the time I thought maybe you’d want to come with.”  Key nodded agreeing to go with the older. Jonghyun smiled and said, “Alright, let me change and we’ll get going.” Key nodded and went to go do his morning routine before leaving with Jonghyun to go into town. ▫▫▫▫▫ As they traveled through town, Key was beginning to feel self conscious, he felt the eyes of other people staring at him, it could’ve been just his imagination but no, the stares burned deep into his skull and it bothered him. He stopped which made the singer with him stop and say, “What’s the matter? Are you ok?” Key looked around and sure enough there were people glancing at the younger and then walking about their marry way. Jonghyun understood and walked behind him to the handles of the wheel chair and pushed him along the side walk. Key turned his head, with a surprised look. Jonghyun smiled and said, “don’t let them get under your skin, be strong alright?” Key relaxed and nodded allowing Jonghyun to push the wheel chair smiling as he walked to their first destination.  ▫▫▫▫▫ As day morphed into night, the two boys were relaxing in the park. Key had never been at such ease before. He looked at Jonghyun who was drinking some water that he brought with him. Jonghyun noticed the younger looking at him, “What, why are you looking at me like that?” Key shook his head and reached for the singers hand and used his finger to write ‘thank you’ on his palm. Jonghyun smirked and said, “No problem but, next time just go right out and tell me, you were kind of creeping me out staring at me like that.” This made Key chuckle and he continued to just relax but then he saddened, he only wished he could talk to the older just to at least say thank you but, he couldn’t he couldn’t even utter the words and it made unshed tears stings his eyes. Jonghyun notices the boy’s sudden mood change, “Hey, are you ok?” He wondered. Key just wiped the tears from his eyes unable to face the older. Jonghyun was in front of him in an instant he cupped the younger’s face and made the younger look at him, “don’t cry, I want to see you smile.” He said. Key nodded and opened his mouth silently praying for some thing to come out but, nothing did. Jonghyun knew the younger was hurting mentally and he tried so hard for him to relax, “did today not help you at all? I tried to help I guess it didn’t help.” Key shook his head and smiled; he then leaned in and hugged the singer. Jonghyun was a little taken back but, embraced the younger boy; he rubbed comforting circles on the younger’s back. After the younger calmed down, the two went home with content happy looks on their faces.  ▫▫▫▫▫  When they arrived home, Key rolled himself into the living room and got onto the couch and sighed. Jonghyun joined him and asked, “Did you have fun today?” Key nodded and snuggled into the older’s chest. Jonghyun smiled and the two relaxed after a fun and tiring day. -----------------------------------------------------------Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, I was on a family trip and I couldn't update cause I had no internet T.T so sorry but, I hope you enjoy!
