Chapter 17- Cuddling the (1/1)

Jonghyun suddenly had a call from doojun inviting him to Mr. Kim’s house; he said it was something to do with key. He jumped on his car and drove immediately. Doojun greeted him with a weak smile. “What’s up? What do you need me for?” jonghyun inquired.“I just want to ask if you can accompany Kibum somewhere, I usually accompany him there but i-something came up and now I can’t, out of the guys you’re the only person who’s free right now so it will be nice if you can accompany him to the cemetery. Would you?” doojun looked sad so jonghyun agreed to take his place. “May I ask who are we gonna visit?” jonghyun asked.“It’s his mother’s death anniversary today. I have been accompanying him since we were kids cause mr. kim stopped going there-well, he never did. Don’t worry, kibum doesn’t like crying so you don’t have to feel awkward when you’re with him.” “Okay. Should I wait here?”“Umm, he’s waiting in his room. Will you kindly go upstairs and pick him up?” doojun said.“Ohh okay. I’ll be going then.” Jonghyun was almost inside the house when doojun called him again.“Jonghyun-shi? I’m sorry..” doojun said.“No worries.” Jonghyun thought he was apologizing for passing on the responsibility to him but doojun apologized for something else. He climbed the stairs to key’s bedroom. He was feeling a bit nervous because the last time he was with key they were on the bed pretending to have sex, who wouldn’t be awkward? He kinda wished he declined doojun’s wish. He arrived at key’s room and knocked. “Come in”key respond from the inside. Jonghyun went in, he looked for key. The terrace was open so the wind was blowing the white curtains gracefully inside, he saw Key’s form standing on the terrace while leaning on the railings. He walked toward the terrace and the scene hit him, key was again wearing a white long sleeved shirt that went just above his knees and he was missing a piece of clothing again-pants. Key was stared at nothing, his face looked solemn. “Ahem…” jonghyun announced his presence. Key jumped a little, he grabbed the curtain in an attempt to cover himself.“What the-you? Why are you here?!” key shouted. Jonghyun was also surprised at that moment; he turned his back from key-his face burning. ‘Why am I always in this kind of situation with him?! I have confessed all my sins right? Have I done something so wrong god?!’ jonghyun thought. The both of them were rooted at the spot, “Where’s doojun?” key asked. “So it’s okay for you to let him see you like that?” jonghyun uttered those words without meaning to, oh how jealous he sounded. “No- I mean. What’s it to you?” key was caught off guard by the question. “Whatever, as if you haven’t seen me like this before.” Key doesn’t want to argue right now, he felt drained-it’s his mother’s death anniversary after all. Jonghyun looked at him again, “I’m sorry.” He said. “For what?” key decided to get dressed, he didn’t want to dress up in front of this guy but he doesn’t want to make a fuss about it.“For awhile ago and your bruise.” Jonghyun said sincerely, he can still see the big bruise on key’s inner thigh. “Don’t ever bring that up again.” Key said, blushing at the scene rewinding in his mind. Jonghyun and key rode the limousine to the cemetery. Key’s starting to feel tears welling up in his eyes but it never falls, how can their family could be so wrecked? Jonghyun popped his mp3 in his ears; yeah he’s a bit bored. Key went out with jonghyun their hands occupied with baskets of offerings. “Just wait for me inside the car.” Key said and jonghyun left. He took a last glance on key, he looked like he was praying. Jonghyun decided to stroll outside the cemetery; he stopped on his tracks when he saw a stuffed toy shop. “I have an idea” he said to himself. “Umma, your key is here. Are you well? Me, I’m doing great, appa also. I wish you won’t be upset cause someone is calling me again by the nickname you gave me, he’s newly hired by appa. His name is jonghyun, he’s the weirdest person I ever met, can you do me a favor? Would you please tap his back when he’s alone? That will scare the hell out of him. Hahaha, I’m just joking, I wanted you to laugh, I really miss you and your laugh umma. I swore to your grave that I wouldn’t cry it’s because since the day you left, it’s been hard for me to express that feeling. It hurts here, without you umma, I think my heart is vanishing bit by bit. I don’t want to end up like appa, he used to be so kind and cheerful but now… I don’t want to blame him, but every cell in my body does, I wish that he’s here with me visiting you. Please umma, take care of us, me, appa, leeteuk-hyung, kangin-hyung, doojun, chansung, joon and that jonghyun. I’ll come back soon umma, wait for me.” Key bid his goodbye to his mother. He entered the limo but jonghyun wasn’t there.“Where’s the dino?” he asked the driver through then intercom.“He said he’s outside sir. We’ll just have to pick him up.” The driver replied. “Okay let’s go.” As their limo exited the cemetery jonghyun is really there waiting for them his hands on his back. He opened the door and presented key with a big stuff toy-a dinosaur stuffed toy to be exact. “Mind explaining why you brought your brother here?” key said his eyesight covered with the big green dinosaur.“Doojun-shi said you don’t cry when you visit your mother’s tomb so I thought that must really hurt if you don’t let it out. Here is the biggest stuffed toy I saw, it would muffle your cries so you will able to cry your eyes out.” Jonghyun put the toy on key’s lap and it almost covered key’s whole body. “I’ll be listening to my music in full blast don’t worry.” He popped his earphones again and listened to the maximum volume. It hurt his ears but he felt sympathetic towards key that’s why he’s doing it. Key stayed silent. ‘Why is he taking care of me? Did he think his apology is not enough?’ he suddenly felt hot liquid falling from his eyes, he can’t stop, he’s already crying, his chest hurt- like all the pain is pooling out from him. He hugged the stuffed dino tightly his face buried on its broad green shoulders.Jonghyun was looking somewhere else, he minimized the volume cause he felt like his eardrums would explode then he heard it, key’s whimpers getting audible, he felt kinda guily, it’s like his violating the other’s privacy by listening to him cry so he decided to sing along 4Men’s “Baby”, at least he’ll hear himself instead of Key’s cries. It felt like it was taking forever for his tears to stop falling, the front of the dinosaur is already damp from his unshed tears when he suddenly heard singing, and he recognized the song. Iyureul mollasseo, wae naega byeonhaenneunji

Hancham saenggakhaesseo, na mannan ihuro

Na byeonhan geot gata, aju manhi mariya

I norae deullini oh~

Niga neomu gomapjanha Oh baby

Niga neomu yeppeujanha Oh~

Nuneul ttel suga eobseo, nae nunen neoman boyeo

Neoman gyesok baro bogo sipjanha nan oh jeongmal

Oh~ baby……. Key started listening to jonghyun’s singing, it was calming and relaxing. Niga neomu gomapjanha Oh baby

Niga neomu yeppeujanha Oh~ yeah

Nuneul ttel suga eobseo nae nunen neoman boyeo

Neoman gyesok barabogo sipjanha nan oh jeongmal

Oh baby, oh~ When Jonghyun finished his song he felt someone’s weight on his left shoulder, key has fallen asleep still cuddling the stuff toy. Before jonghyun could react key slipped and landed on his lap. “He got exhausted from crying that much. Haayy…you really are a kid Kim Kibum.” Jonghyun didn’t know but his voice just made key doze off to a nice sleep, dreaming of none other than….. him.----------------------------------------------A/N: xDDDD HOPED YOU ENJOYED READING!!!!!!!
