“NO..end of the conversation..” Key stood up from his seat and walked out of the room. Taemin sighed as he scratched the back of his neck. He’s starting to get irritated since they are talking about the topic for over an hour now.

“but Key..you told me any favor right..” Taemin stood up the bed and followed his friend out. “it is’t bad of favor..and..”

“taemin..I said NO..what part of the N and O can’t you understand..” Key said as he put down his glass on the sink.

“But..”

“no but..” Key stopped I front of the boy and looked at him firmly. “NO..” and he walked passed him leaving Taemin alone in the kitchen.

Taemin sighed and closed his eyes. After some good minutes, he shot opened his eyes and smiled. Eh looked towards the living room from his shoulder as he smirked. He walked towards the living room where Key was lazily seating watching some boring show. He sat at the far end of the couch and grinned.

“ok..i understand..well I just thought you’ll help me..as a friend for ten years I just thought I can count on you..in this kind of situations..i just hope..out of all my friends you’re the one I thought will immediately say YES to me..but I’m wrong..now I realized those words you said before..the promise that you’ll stick with me until the end..that you’ll support me in anything..and if it means jumping in a high bridge you’ll still accompany me…but yeah..i’m wrong..maybe I shouldn’t believe you back then..and.”

“ALRIGHT..JUST STOP..you’re making me look like a bad friend Lee Taemin..” Key shifted his seat as he was now facing the boy with a glare that can burn you alive.

“are you?” Taemin looked at him with these pleading eyes.

“aish..” Key looked away annoyance in his face. Of course he promised the boy but jumping off the bridge is better than doing what he’s asking.

“and remember that time when you ask me a very big favor..i didn’t hesitate to say no..” key glared at him.

“of course you will not..actually you love it..” Key said as he crossed his arms on his chest.

“but still as a friend..a true best friend..i never say NO to you..” Key closed his eyes as he moved his hand on his temples massaging it hoping the annoyance will go away.

“Key..please..” the favor isn’t that easy. It is just not his thing.

“Ok, fine..”

“really?” Taemin jumped out of his seat as he moved nearer his friend.

“yeah..but..it’s not fault if I didn’t passed the screening..of course there will be a screening..” Key looked at him raising his brows.

“well..” Taemin stood up and walked a few meters away from Key making sure he have enough space for safety. “ you see.. I told you to join right?..and you just said yes..”

“yeah..all contest have screening..”Key was now confused. A while ago Taemin asked him to join the stupid contest with him.

“well..you see..the screening was done..and..”

“hahaha..so you mean the screening is finished so it means..yes..oh Taemin you’re a failure..” Key smiled as he stood up walking towards the other.

“no..the screening is done..and we passed…you and I are already casted..we’re officially one of the contestant..”

“WHAT!!!!” and it was Taemin’s cue to run back to his room and locked. He stood by the door as he heard Key calling for him with this angry voice. He giggled as he fished out this invitation in his pocket.

“MY man..i’m coming..” He whispered as he read the content of the letter.

“Yah Lee Taemin..get out of that room or I’ll destroy this door..” He giggled as he moved towards his bed and threw himself in its softness. He raised the letter so it will be directly in his line of sight.

Taemin smiled as he hugged the letter. He felt like in heaven when he received the letter that morning. He’s been dreaming this for a very long time. Yes, definitely, he is the man of his dream. For him, his the most perfect man in the world. He’s been in love with the man since he’s in high school and now he’s in his last in college he’s totally into him. so when he heard that this man will the next Bachelor he didn’t think twice. He ran, literally, to the audition hall and signed up his Name.

“oh I forgot to give this to you..your invitation..and oh..we’ll be shopping tomorrow for the big night..good night hyug..you’re the best..” he then closed the after he handed the invitation.

Key looked at the paper invitation. His hands shaking with anger, his face is as red as a tomato. And with his hand he crumpled the paper and threw it on the trash bin. He looked back at Taemin’s bedroom door and sighed.

“how did I got myself into this..” and he sighed as he turned off the lights and walked towards his room.

The Bachelor..stupid game..stupid show..where did those people get the idea of doing a game show to find true love..stupid..love isn’t a game..no one find true love in a game..stupid Bachelor..

“no, try the white one..it looks good on him..” Jonghyun said as he threw himself on the couch in front of the dressing room of one of the most expensive and elegant looking signature store in the world.

“white..?..urgh..Jonghyun..it’s a bit..”

“fabulous..” Jonghyun finished the other’s line as he put on a black fedora hat and smiled on his reflection.

“I don’t know why I’m doing this..do I really need this..this is ridiculous..” the man walked out of the dressing room. Jonghyun looked at him was amazed as his friend looks like some kind of a top model in a runway with the white tuxedo outfit. He totally agree his friend looks good when being dress and he totally give justice to the outfit.

“what..?” he asked as he fixed his coat in front of the mirror.

“I told you..it suit you more..” Jonghyun said as he walked near his friend. “now you are the best bachelor in town..Lee Jinki..”

Jinki looked at his friend through the mirror. He couldn’t believe himself saying yes to this stupid idea of being the next bachelor in that reality show. He was so against at it when he heard the idea from Jonghyun but before he knew news about him being the bachelor spread like a wild fire. He was about to oppose when he was stop by two reason. First, his reputation is in line since backing up means giving up and giving up in the business world is a crime. Auditions for hopefuls already started and the whole production already cost the producer millions of money. Secondly, his family told him to take it. he thought his family will be hysterical about it since they never wanted bad publicity and kissing and being lovey dovey with different person in front of the nationwide TV is a big scandal. But the total opposite happened. his mother was so excited since he always wanted him to settle down. His father at the other hand also wanted to have his first born grandson who will be the next heir. Also the main reason is , as said by his father, a good promotion of their company and of him, too. Yes, he’s kind of the most popular personality in the country. Though not a celebrity, having a lots of fanboys and fangirls, he can beat any superstar in the country. He is famous since he was in high school as he always ranked number in the country. In college, playing soccer and being the country’s representative added to his perfection.  But his father told him I the business world, he’s nothing but ordinary. And so his father agreed on such show that will not only make him more famous but also will showcase the wealth and prestige of the family.

There were rumors of him dating superstars and models but there is only one relationship he said was real. It was his relationship in college with Seohyun, royal blood whose mother came from the family in the palace, but since his mother looks incapable for the elders,  the throne was given to his uncle, his mother’s cousin. Anyway, some said that they are engaged but after college, Seohyun fly away to America for higher studies leaving Jinki who started managing multi-billion business in Korea. All in all, he’s a certified bachelor, at the age of 27, he’s single and very available.

“can you tell me again why I’m doing this..” Jinki asked as he saw his friend trying some coats.

“because you want to..”

“shut up..i don’t..” Jinki was literally stopped when Jonghyun covered his mouth with his hand.

“shh..you don’t want other people hearing your insincerity of the show..” Jinki slapped away the hand and glared at his friend.

“there’s no way everyone in this show is sincere..all those girls and guys will do this just for the sake of fame and money..” Jonghyun hurriedly collected his things as he saw his friend walking out of the store.

“oh..c’mon..just trust me in this one..just enjoy and have fun..that’s all..as long as you get hold on to yourself..and make sure that there’s no ‘falling in love for real’ happening..though it’s acceptable..you’re ok..it’s fine..”

Jinki stopped in his trance and turned around to face his friend. “ok..but I swear Jonghyun If anything goes wrong..i’ll put you in a box and transport you in a deserted island and make yourself marry a monkey and have monkey kids..i’m serious..”

Jonghyun swallowed as he walked ahead of Jinki. “yup..very clear..”

“and one more thing..falling in love is unacceptable..not will ever happened..this is a game and I’m playing it..just playing..PERIOD” the last word was emphasize with his full voice bringing shiver on Jonghyun’s body. Jinki has this soft gentle side but he’s the kind of person you don’t wish to be your enemy.

“as you wish..” Jong hyun said as he closed the door of his car after settling in and looked at his frined riding the passenger seat. “ready..?”

“yeah..let the show begin..”

ONE year later…

==========================================================================

The boy looked up and smiled as he watched his dream soaring high, literally.

“congratulation Minho..” Minho looked back and smiled to see the person he was expecting.

“you’re late…”

“sorry..”

Minho laughed as he turned back to look again at the product of his years of hardship. His own company.

“so Mr. CEO..what’s the plan?” Minho rolled his eyes as he felt tiny arms wrapped its way on his waist.

“Hara..don’t call me like that..”

“c’mon you should be used to that..wow..this building sure is tall..like it’s owner..”

“finally…my dream..” After working for the company for 3 years, he saved everything he earned for this dream company. He always wanted to have one since he decided to be businessman.

“so..the youngest and most handsome bachelor in town..plus one of the future biggest money maker in the country..you have everything..what more can you ask..?” Hara said as she take a good look at the building in front of them.

“well..not all..” Hara looked down and slowly turned to face the man. “I’m missing one thing…”

“and what is it?” Hara slowly walked towards the man stopping when she was inches space in front of him.

“someone to share it with…”

“well..that’s your fault..being stubborn..and ignoring each possible lover..” Hara averted her gaze and stepped away to scan the place.

“I didn’t ignore..i just..don’t find interest in them..”

“choosy…”

Minho laughed with the remark. “no I’m not..just waiting for the perfect one..don’t want to make another mistake..so..enough about me..look who’s talking here..you..yourself is single for a long time too..being choosy too..?”

“well..absolutely not..i just..i just didn’t yet find someone like or greater than..” Hara looked at him in the eyes as she uttered the last word. “..you”

Minho smiled and walked towards her. “so do i…”

“liar..” Hara rolled her eyes as she pulled away earning a playful laugh from the boy. “you’re just choosy..accept it..”

“no..i am not..”

Hara continued to walk away checking out the plant sculpture in front of the entrance.

“maybe you are.” Hara glared at him making the other laughed as he walked towards the petite girl.

“no I am not..like you..i want to be sure this time..i want someone..a man.. who can be with me..forever..” Hara looked away. She lifted her hand to wipe the tears that is about to fall.

“How about giving your heart to someone who would love to make you happy…who would love to see you smile..who would love to be loved by you?”

Hara turned around to face the boy. did she heard it right?

“Minho..stop joking..it isn’t funny..” Hara was about to walk away but stopped when she felt hand holding him still.

“I’m serious..after what happened…after these months..i realized..i realized one thing…” hara looked at him straight in the eyes. “that I made one big mistake..when I let go of Key..and now..i don’t want to do it again…”

“but Minho..”

“listen Hara..i don’t want to commit the same mistake of letting go someone special to me..i..i want to stay..i’m not accepting the freedom..i want to be love again by you..and I want to love you again..”

“but Minho..we already divorced..and..”

“then let’s get married again..i’m tired of being a bachelor..”Minho smiled as he cupped the girl’s face.

“but..” Minho pulled away and fished out something from his pocket. He lifted a red little box and placed it I front of the girl. he slowly opened it and there revealed a silver ring.

“Hara..would take me again as your husband..this time for forever..?”

Hara smiled and gave the other a soft hit on the shoulder and she nodded. Minho took out the ring and took the other’s hand.

“I promise..you my forever..”

“I love you Minho..”

“I love you Hara..”

Minho’s POV

After so many years I found my peace. After a long time of seeking I found at last what I’m looking for. I made mistake before.

When I first saw him, I thought he’s the one for me. I found something that told me that he needed me. But then I realized I was the one needing him. He showed me love..and unconditional one. He taught me how to appreciate love.

But became a fool. But more of a scary little boy. I don’t want to be left alone. I don’t want the good feeling to disappear. That’s why I hold him tight. So tight that I didn’t noticed how hard it was for him. I was just scared.

But then one thing I forgot. I forgot that I’m not alone. I was too focus to give out love that I forgot the love I’m receiving. And she was always there. She is the best thing that happened to me. I forgot how she brought me life when I thought I was just an ordinary useless being. Her love taught me how to love. And I forgot how it was done resulting to me hurting someone.

I love him. And I will always. But..this time I will not be making any mistake again. Now I will fly back to her. To one who showered me love no matter what. Who accepted me as I am..the weak boy who was scared of being left.

Sometimes we don’t know what we’re looking for but one thing is sure..you’ve already found and lost it without even knowing that this was it..But now I learned..and I will not be doing a mistake again.. i will not swerve again… Now I found what I’m looking for..my direction …and this is forever…

Finally…

===========================================================================

“ thank you for coming..come again..” the boy bowed down as the old lady grabbed the paper bag he handed.

“hey..help me here..” a voice from the kitchen called out his attention. As fast as he could he jogged towards the kitchen only to be faced by a girl with baking pans in each hand.

“here let me have it..”

“thanks..that was hot..” the girl gave her a smile as she took off her chef’s hat.

“I told you to wait for me..suzy..”

“well..oppa..i was nothing to do..so I decided to take it for you..”

Jinki smiled when the girl flashed him her cutie smile. he walked towards her ruffled her hair.

“yah..what do you think of me..a dog..”

“you’re way cuter that a dog..” Jinki said as he moved towards the display to place the cakes.

“Jinki oppa..”

“hmmm..” Jinki didn’t looked at her as he was busy fixing the pastry displays.

“why did you called that thing..chocolate love..it can a sweet love..or chocolate cake to be simple..” Suzy leaned on the counter looking bored as Jinki was ignoring her presence.

“I just..find it suit this sweet thing..” Jinki smiled as he looked proud finishing the displays.

“I don’t believe..you always tell me that..”

“and you always ask the same question..” Jinki said as he took a rag and started polishing the counter top.

“it is because your answer didn’t satisfy me..” Suzy said as she took another rag and helped Jinki in the chore.

“I named it like that because it suits it..final answer..” Jinki said making his way to the table where a new customer just seated.

“hmm..i still don’t believe..oh welcome sir good evening..”

It’s been a year since Jinki decided to transfer to China to be with his family. His father gave him his share money and he put up a coffee shop. yes, still his passion for baking and coffee is still with him. at first it was hard for him, in business and in personal life, but little by little he was able to cope himself to his new environment. It was just like being back when he first set foot in this beautiful country. He was able to use in the environment and after some months it felt like he was living in his own country and he decided to stay.

It’s been 9 months since he build the shop. at first they only have few customers. Only people who happened to pass by since it’s their way home. But as time passed, they got regular customers. They became a little popular especially to teenage kids. For the reasons, one, it’s a place to have a date or maybe to study..and second, the waiters and the owner himself is very attractive. That time on, suzy, Jinki’s cousin put the requirement of being good looking in applicants who wanted to take job on the shop.

At first look, Jinki seemed to be a happy man, contented in his life. Well, he’s just good in hiding his feelings. after all this time, he still felt a little regret of his decision. At night, when he is to close the shop, he’ll be sitting near the window watching the people passing by a coffee in his hand a slice of his chocolate cake. that very moment, he’ll be looking at the sky, reminiscing the past or even thinking of the ‘what if’ situation that might happened if he chooses to stay. He’ll be looking at the stars but not the twinkling lights he’ll be seeing but the face of the one he love most.

No one knows about his story. Maybe that’s why no one can tell that he’s a heart broken man after all this years. But little by little, he found himself smiling for the fact that it hurts less. There are times that he’ll genuinely feel happy and be smiling truly for he knew he did the right thing.

In spite of this, there is still a time when he would just let those tears to fall and remember him. But the tears is not a sad one rather tears of joy. He still hope one day, he could fully accept it and find himself his own happiness.

“oppa..Jinki-oppa..” Jinki snapped out of hi s thoughts when he felt a soft nudge in his side. “your dazing again..it’s early in the morning and you’re dazing already..”

“oh..hehehe..i didn’t noticed it..” Jinki said laughing. He moved towards the kitchen and opened the oven. The smell of freshly baked cake filled the room.

“oppa..the chocolate love..is it for someone..?”

Jinki looked at him. they just talked about it yesterday and as far as he remembered he told her that it was his final answer.

“did we talk about it yesterday..”

“the question no is different from yesterday..now answer me or I will not stop..”

“Suzy..”

“Jinki..”

“fine..i give up..yes it is for someone..and if you’ll ask who is it..and I’m not telling..” Jinki said as he placed the hot bread on the table.

“hmmm..so that’s why you name this place that name.?”

“huh?”

Suzy walked towards him lifting his nameplate in front of his face. “this..chocolate love..i thought it was such a lame name for a coffee shop..it shouldn’t be called like that since we’re offering many things aside from this chocolate cake..but now I understand..”

Jinki looked at her very much confusion in his expression.

“Oh Jinki..don’t hide it..i can read you..first you name this special cake of yours chocolate love because you made it out of love for someone..and this someone is special..so you name this shop chocolate love though it is just one of our specialty because you are hoping he might found you..you are hoping thatif he sees this or heard it..well when this shop become popular..he will automatically know that it is you who knows this…in short..this is your way for him to find you…aww..oppa..that’s so sweet..”

Jinki POV

I can’t belive this. I could feel my mouth getting wider and wider as i listened to the talking of mycousin. Well, I was so amazed how imaginative and creative my cousin is. I never thought of naming the shop chocolate love so Key would find me or Key would recognize the shop is mine. Well, first they are in Beijing in China and Key is in Korea so impossible..not really impossible but it is far from happening. Secondly, he I named it Chocolate Love because I couldn’t thought of any name that day I registered the shop. And lastly, as far as my case with Key is concern, I’m trying now to get over that is a bit impossible.

“oppa..”

I looked at Suzy who looks like waiting for confirmation. I sighed and scratched the back of my neck.

“ding ding ding..wrong answer..”

“impossible..i know I’m right..i can see through you..”

“yah..suzy..enough ok..go back to work..” I acted angry so she will stop this topic but I guess I suck in acting as she glared at me.

“you know oppa..it is not a good decision..letting him find you..it’s better and more manly if you’re the one to find him…” and she left. She left me with this hit on my heart. After all this time, the time I forced myself to believe I’m happy, I suddenly felt a full regret.

I slowly walked towards the counter and sat on the stool . Where are you? Are you happy now or just like me alone? Well I know he’s happy. He’s with the one he love.

I smiled as I looked outside. It’s got to be a good day. i wonder if Key still love coffee. If he’s in a cafe right now and watching this very good weather by the café’s window. I wonder..

Then again, my thoughts of what if came rushing to my brain. What if I didn’t leave? What if I hold him tight in my arms that night? What if I didn’t call Minho to get him? What if..

So many what if, and that is the only thing I can do now..thinking of the what ifs..well enough of that, what’s done is done..and my regrets won’t bring me anything.

There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone, not because we hate them but because we found out that they’d be happier if we let them go.

 But still inside my heart I wish I could just love you. I could hold you in my arms and never let go. I wish and hope. But I know it’s far from reality. But there’s no harm in dreaming..in hoping…

I wish you’ll find me..I hope I’ll find you..

“excuse me..” I was too absorbed in my thoughts that I didn’t notice the ring of the chime when the door opened. I slowly got up and fixed my outfit. I slowly looked at the customer making sure to have my smile.

“welcome to Chocolate love..how..” and I got stuck.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“thank you very much..” Key bowed his head as the old man left. He looked at his watch and smiled. It’s been half an hour since he walked the streets. He woke up early that day and decided to grab some coffee. He took out his planner and looked at his schedule.

“hmm..place inspection in 9..hmm..materials delivery on 12…and meeting with the students by 2..i got a full schedule..”

He put back his notebook inside his bag. He walked near the road and waited for a cab. He raised his hand as a cab was to pass him but just ignored him. He pouted and looked at his watch. It’s 8 and he needed to be in the location in 9 and he still need caffeine in his system to work properly.

He looked at the streets seeing just few people walking to work and school.

“alright..let’s walk..” He said as he pulled the zipper of his sweater. The season is kind of cold but the day is rather good. Key smiled as he looked up and saw the sun shining just fine, not too hot. He scanned the place noticing how stores are starting to open. He loves this city. His dream city as he said. This place is the center of culture and modernization. Arts and crafts are also in the run. That’s why he chose this place to be his permanent place. He moved in just two month ago. He is now an artist. He’s now in the process of building his own gallery, a shop where he can display and sell his artwork. He’s more on painting and designing. He’s also being paid to decorate certain area as an interior designer.

He never imagined doing this job. He thought he’ll be working in a office as college graduate but after finding himself he discovered his calling. He’s for art. Before he’s just running with flow. He would just grab what others think will give convenience but after having  the time for thinking and change he called space he felt the urge to find his true self.

After that time when Minho set him free, at first he was hesitant. He was thinking if it is what he wanted. He loved him so much and it will never change. His love for him gives him strength to live. Yes, it’s true that it hurts him so much but what keeps him holding on is the fact that Minho showed him how to love. That he’s worthy of being cared for. That he’s worthy to be loved.

So when Minho told him that he’s letting go, he got this mixed emotion. He wanted to hold on but at the same time he’s ready to let go. The last time he saw the man was when he decided to transfer place. He was there standing outside looking at his apartment. He wanted to come and see him but he stopped himself for he thought it wasn’t a good idea. Both them need space to move on. He’s not helping the other in moving on if he’ll show up. So that day was the last time he saw of the man he loved.

Key continued his walk enjoying the scene. There are so much to watch. There is this old couple helping each other in bringing their grocery. On the other side is lovely couple teasing each other. There is also a guy with his dog doing their morning exercise. He caught the guy looking at him and it made him blushed.

Well, after what happened the thought of having new love was so out of his plans. He promised to stick on his dreams first. He never let himself think anything about love but that’s far from happening.

The thought of the coffee guy was never forgotten. He is always in his thought especially when he has nothing to do and he’s just staring in space. There are also times that he would end up with a masterpiece with just thinking of the boy. The memories with him as the secret boy to the funny cousin of Hara is his past time.

There are times that he just force himself to believe that he has nothing more to do with Jinki. But yes, he’s not fooling no one but himself.

Kibum’s POV

I was enjoying my walk when a certain smell filled my nose. I looked at my side and saw a middle aged woman with a coffee in his hand. I walked towards her and she smiled.

“uhmm..excuse me..where can I buy a coffee like yours..” I hoped this woman won’t find me weird asking where she bought her coffee.

“oh..in a café just a block from here..they serve really delicious coffee..uhmmwhat’s name of the shop..uhmm well..” I laughed a little when the woman didn’t noticed that the cup have the name of the shop.

“uhmm auntie..in the cup..” I pointed and she looked at her cup.

“oh..yes..my bad..well..hmm..oh yeah it’s here..chocolate love..yeah..that’s the name..”

I literally froze in my place. I heard that name before. I just can’t figure where and when. I stared at the coffee trying to remember where in the world I heard the name ‘chocolate love’.

“and they serve this very tasty chocolate cake..it tastes so heavenly..the baker called it chocolate love..”

And it hit me. Chocolate cake. Chocolate love. Coffee..and flashbacks rushed to my brain. Some years ago..the sight of a boy with the most adorable smiel I ever seen…the moment I felt strong arms grabbed me from behind and saved me from an almost hit and run accident…the smell of the coffee I loved not solely because it’s my favorite but because you made it..you who made me feel special..you who made my heart beat so hard for the first time..you who gave me my first heart break when you left without a word leaving me not knowing your name…all I have is an initial letter from the keychain I took from you…and then you came back without me knowing that it is you..my savior…and again for the second time you made me feel special..and for a long time my heart beat so hard with just your smile…you..Lee Jinki..LJ..your coffee..your cake..your smile..your touch…

“excuse me son..are you ok..?”

“yes I am..i’m leaving..xie xie ni..” I bowed making sure my chinese is right.

I walked slower this time. It is like I’m having split mind if I should go and see him or just pretend I never knew you’re here. Of all place, I know you’re in China but Beijing in a same place in same vicinity..that’s..

Fate..

Meeting you was fate, knowing your name was an accident, seeing you again was a choice, and falling in love with you was beyond my control..

Fate..what a magical word it is? I smiled as I took out my phone and lifted the charm in it. Yes, I still have it. I can’t throw it. I just needed it to be with me. It is like my strength.

“should I see you or..”

I laughed when I found myself like a fool talking to the charm. I smiled and closed my eyes as I keep the charm in my hands holding it tight. I kissed it looked straight to the direct ion where this café is. I no longer cared if I’m wrong that it is him or if he already forgot about me. He ran away from for the second time. He came back and we met again by accident..no by fate..and now by fate we’ll be meeting again.

I experienced so much pain before. For me loving is a fantasy that people made to satisfy himself. Just to assure himself that he/she is not alone. That there is no forever in relationship. People has the tendency to get tired and left. And I was wrong. But that belief made me live a miserable life.

Love is so magical that it never needed to be defined nor be measured to how long and how deep. It is just the most real feeling in the world. It can give you warmth and safety at the same time. Joy and contentment as addition. I’m such a fool to hate love. The happening in my family, my parents was never enough reason to hate it instead be the guide to find the true love.

Sometimes we think that loving a person can be such a risk. How else would we win if we don’t take a chance? You don’t lose by loving, you lose by holding back… I always thought if I were not the snobbish, love hater man before maybe..maybe I’m with my true love. No one lose from loving. Yes you cry when it’s over but the good thing is just smile because it happened. Not everyone experienced love so when you do consider yourself lucky.

So now, I Kim Kibum, will never be again be scared to be loved. Be not lose hope if broken. Will never   run away rather head towards love. For I will never be afraid..

“excuse me..” I said as I stepped inside the café. The aroma I loved and the most adorable smile welcomed me. I blushed when I noticed him stare at me with unbelieving eyes.

“one regular and…a slice of your chocolate love..”

For I will never be afraid…to love again…

“Key..I’m here..” Key tried to calm down himself from crying as he carefully checked on the arms circled around his body. He felt warmth radiating from the other’s body. He felt safe around those strong arms. He could feel the other’s breath in his ear as he continued to hush him. He tried to speak but no words came out from his lips. He loved how good it felt so he leaned closer to the warm body.

“stop crying..i’m here..i will never leave you…again…” Key slowly pulled away from the other. He saw the boy he least expected to see.

“w.h.a..t are..you..doing..here..?” he felt finger brushing the remaining tears in his eyes. He stared at the boy in front of him.

“because you need me..” the boy smiled as he continue to caress the other’s cheeks. He pulled the other for a hug when he saw new tears forming in boy’s eyes. “ssshh..i’m here..”

“take me away from here..please..Jinki…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes earlier..

Jinki ran out of his car as he approached the front desk of the hotel.

“excuse me..where’s the room of Mr. Kim Kibum..?”

“I’m sorry sir..but ther’s no Kim Kibum in our guest list..” the receptionist replied as he checked the computer for any Kim Kibum as guest.

“how about Choi Minho?”

“uhmmm yes he’s a guest..are you relative or a friend?”

“uhmm..yes..i’m his cousin..he asked me to pick up his friend he’s with last night..” Jinki lied as he tried to avoid the receptionist eyes.

“oh..ok..room 407..”

“uhmm..you see I forgot to ask my cousin his room key..can I borrow one..” Jinki pleaded to the girl.

“I’m sorry sir but it’s a big rule not to let anyone have a duplicate of the our guest key..sorry..”

“but..i’m..”

“Jinki..?” Jinki looked at his back as he heard a girly voice calling his name and he was surprised.

“Tiffany?”

“oh my gosh..it’s you..Jinki..long time no see..how are you? What are doing here?” Tiffany happily hugged Jinki showing the boy how she missed him.

“uhmm..can’t breathe..uhmm..i’m here to pick up a friend..you..what are doing here?..” Jinki was happy to see an old friend but he’s in a hurry. He took occasional glances on the stairs as he continued to talk with his friend.

“well, after struggling the college life I graduated..then became a manger branch..you are now seeing the manager branch of this hotel..” Tiffany said proudly as she showed Jinki her corporate uniform.

“really..you..Tiffany..you’re a blessing..you see I need to borrow a key card for this room 407..but the girl over there said that it is not allowed..”

“well..it is not really allowed..she’s just doing what I told her..”

“please Tiffany help me..” Jinki pleaded to her old friend.

“and why?..give me a big reason why I must violate my own rules..” Tiffany raised her brow as she asked the begging boy.

Jinki stood up straight looked at the direction of the stairs and smiled. He looked back to his friend and said. “he’s there..he needs me now..after so many years..i saw him again..and I already decided to not let him go..again…”

Tiffany looked at him like she was processing the words in her mind. She gasped as she realized what his friend meant with his words.

“you mean..you..mean..the boy..the..coffee..”

Jinki smiled and took her hand. “yes him…so please help me..Tiff..”

“I can’t believe you..after these years..you’re still in love with that boy..what’s his name again..” Tiffany put her finger near her temple like an act you do when you’re thinking. “aha..Kibum..Kim Kibum….araso..i’ll help you..i always help you with that guy..but please Jinki this time make it real ok…”

Tiffany walked towards the front desk. Jinki looked at her as she saw her talking at the receptionist. He smiled when he saw the front desk officer handed Tiffany a key card. He watched as Tiffany towards him.

“you don’t know what I should risk with this violation of the hotel rules..so make it worth it…go..and get your boy..” Jinki hugged her and ran towards the stairs after seeing a malfunction sign on the elevator door.

“Thanks Tiff..” he shouted as he stopped from his step and waved at his friend.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jinki insisted on carrying Key down to the parking lot. Key at first told him that he can walk but still ended up to be on the other boy’s back.

“there..” jinki said as he landed the boy on the front seat of his car.

“you don’t need to..”

“it’s ok..i want to..just give me this chance..” Jinki smiled before he closed the car door. He jogged towards the driver seat. Once settled, he looked at the boy beside him. Key was looking out from his window. He stopped crying making Jinki felt better. When he made sure the other is comfortable in his seat, he started the engine and drove away from the building.

As Jinki’s car drove out of the hotel’s parking lot, that was the time a white van parked at the exact place Jinki parked just some seconds ago.

“Thank you sir..”

“it’s ok son..good luck..” Minho closed the door of the van after thanking the old man. He looked up at the building as a smile formed in his lips.

“I’m here..Key..” and he jogged inside the hotel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Jinki quickly opened his apartment’s door and pulled the shivering boy inside.

“sorry..i don’t have a jacket with me..it’s freezing outside..” Jinki opened the room’s heater and light. He then guided Key to the couch. “you want something to drink?”

Key shook his head as he continued to stare at his hands. Jinki moved closer until he he was kneeling in front of the other. He took the boy’s hands to his and brought it to his lips.

“you’re cold…” he blew some air to the other’s hand hoping it can help to stop the other from shivering.

“I’ll get some blankets and warm drinks..wait here..” Jinki stood up and walked towards his room.

When Jinki came back withna hot drink in his left and a thick blanket on the other, he was surprised to see the other resting on his sofa. He put down the hot cup in the center table and walked beside the boy. He put the blanket on him covering Key from the coldness. He knelt just in front of the other’s face. He smiled as he brushed away the hair from the other’s face.

“sleep well, angel..i won’t leave you..” he leaned closer until he was an inch away from the other’s cheek. He stopped as if thinking if it’s ok to take advantage of Key. He pulled away and smiled. He stood up grabbed the hot cup and walked towards the kitchen.

Little did he know Key was awake the whole time. He just lay down for his boy is aching. He just closed his eyes as he felt warmth starting to crawl up to his body. He was startled when he felt a heavy clothing placed on him but he didn’t mind opening his eyes. It felt too good and he decided not to do anything that can make it away. Then he felt hot air in his cheeks. He slowly opened his eyes only to see the older’s boy lips near him. His heart beat fast and he closed his eyes waiting for the warm of the other’s lips touch his skin but it didn’t happen. He opened his eyes only to see the other walking away. Key bit his lower lip as he felt a mixed of disappointment and happiness. He closed his eyes as he couldn’t understand why did he felt like that. Why would he react like that for an almost simple kiss on the cheek? He was thinking deep in thoughts that he didn’t notice when he finally entered the dream land.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key slowly opened his eyes. He blocked it when he was blinded by a light coming from the half closed curtain. He carefully sat up and noticed that he was no longer in the couch. He was about to move out of bed when he heard the door opened.

“good morning..i hope you sleep well..” Jinki as he was trying to balance a tray of food on his hand. “breakfast in bed?”

Jinki out down the tray on the bed beside Key. He sat down the bed and looked at Key. He reached out to fix the messy hair of the younger boy.

“you..don’t need to do that..” Key said blushing from the other’s action.

“I want to..just give me this chance..” Jinki said as he put down his hand and smiled to the other boy. “here I tried to cook you breakfast..”

Key looked at the food. Omellete, bread, fresh sliced fruits and glass of orange juice.

“Thanks..” Key said a she took the spoon in the tray. He took a slice of apple from the bowl and ate it.

“how was it?” Jinki was watching his actions making the other conscious of himself.

“ok..it’s ok..”

“whew..i made that..” Jinki said proudly.

“it is an apple Jinki..who didn’t made it..it grew from a tree, pick by the farmers and you bought it..you didn’t made it..” Key said as he took another apple in his mouth.

“but I sliced it..i sliced it properly..look each piece looked the same..” Jinki said as he pointed on the sliced fruits in the tray. Key looked at him and before he knew he was laughing. It was small laugh but still it made Jinki stared at him.

“you laughed..” Jinki said as he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“you’re childish..” Key said as he took another slice his mouth.

“still you laugh..here taste this omellete I made this..” Key watched the boy as he sliced the omelet to tiny parts. He was telling him how he followed the recipe and was able to be successful.

“here..” Jinki said as he put a piece of the food near Key’s lips.

“I can eat by myself..”

“just take this..say aahhh” Jinki opened his mouth wide like he was teaching a kid how to eat for the first time. Key smiled as he took the food Jinki was offering him.

“how is it taste?” Jinkiw atcehd the other as he chewed on his food.

“it’s ok..edible..” Key said as he took the spoon from the other’s hand and started eating the food. Jinki watched him happily. How he wished they can stay like this forever. How he wished time would stop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jinki gave Key a change of clothes as he told him that he could use the shower. Key thanked him. after some minutes Key walked out of Jinki’s room, wearing one of Jinki’s t-shirt and jogging pants and very fresh from the shower as you could still see the drips of water from his hair.

Key sat down on the couch. Jinki looked at him watching the boy’s features. He was brought back to reality when he heard the other’s voice speaking to him.

“what did you say?”

“uhmm..let’s watch this..” Key handed Jinki an english movie. Jinki looked at the cover. He didn’t remember buying this. Ah Maybe Victoria left this when he had our movie night..oh a romantic comedy film. He stood up and walked towards the player. After pushing the play button, he sat beside Key.

“have you seen this movie?” key asked.

“no..it’s my friend’s not mine..” Jinki said as he looked at the boy who was staring at the monitor. When he felt the other’s is not going to continue he averted his eyes and focused himself on the movie.

It was in the middle of their 9^th movie for the day when their doorbell rang. Jinki stood up to answer the door. He happily took the delivery and jogged back to the living room.

“it’s our dinner..” Jinki said as he put down a bucket of chicken and two packs of rice. “here..”

Key received the food not taking away his eyes from the movie. Jinki was enjoying his food when he heard Key remarked about the movie.

“this is stupid..” Key said as he put down his empty plate on the table.

Jinki looked at him as he watched the other wiped his tears. “you’re crying..”

“because it’s sad..”

“why?.. I think it is just right..the boy only hurts the girl as he keep on holding her..it’s better to let go..”

“but he loves her..he even sacrifice everything for her..he should hold on forever..” Key blurted out facing Jinki.

“but it will only hurt the girl more..yes they love each other but there are times that love isn’t enough..sometimes you have to let go of something in order to see if it’s really worth holding on” Jinki looked back at Key with this serious face.

“you don’t anything..you don’t..” Key quickly stood up and ran away from the living room. He entered Jinki’s room and walked towards the bed. He slowly collapsed on the floor at the bedside.

Jinki was left in the living room. He didn’t mean for this happened but little in his heart he meant those words to hit Key and it did. He stood up and silently walked towards his room. He scanned the room to see the boy hugging himself sitting on the floor. He walked closer to the boy. he knelt down and put his hand on his shoulder.

“I’m sorry..i.i didn’t mean anything..i know I don’t have the right..i don’t know anything..” Jinki said as he let himself fall beside Key. He looked up on the window and watched the nightsky.

“why..? why do you still love him? he’s hurting you I know..i don’t need to know the details..seeing you like this, is very much enough to conclude that he doesn’t deserve you..that he’s hurting you…” Jinki said as he felt tears forming on his eyes.

“when you truly love someone, you don’t look for faults, you didn’t look for reasons and answers, you don’t look for mistakes. Instead you fight for the mistakes, you accept the fault and you overlook for the excuses and reasons..” Jinki closed his eyes as he listened to Key’s words and before he noticed it a tear flow down from his eyes.

Then he felt a finger wiping his tear. He opened his eyes only to see Key’s face full of concern.

“you’re crying..why?”

Jinki took Key’s hand on his and brought it near his lips. He planted a kiss and looked straight to his eyes.

“you really love him..” Jinki didn’t expect for an answer as he continue to talk his hold on the other getting tighter. “You may not see me the way I see you..you may not care for me the way I do..you may feel nothing for me like I feel for you..but I’ll always be here…” loving you the last two words were not uttered for the other to hear. He leaned closer as he pressed his lips on the other. It happened fast and it was like their lips touched for a second but the after effect made Key felt so different. He could hear his heart beating so loud. He could feel heat crawling all over his body. He never felt this way. Never. Not like when Minho kissed him. It was different.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jinki couldn’t believe himself. he almost told the other what he feels but ended up kissing him. He didn’t regret doing it. but as he remembered the kiss he also remembered how his chance for Key to love him back will never happen. He loves the guy too much.

Jinki softly caresses the other’s face. He watched the sleeping face of the young boy. he didn’t know what happened but after the kiss no one spoke. They just stared on the night sky from his window and before he knew it Key’s head dropped on his shoulder. He slowly carried him to bed and placed him under the blankets.

“if only I can bring back the time..i will stay..that day..i will not walk away when you told me you didn’t need me..i should stay..i should tell you..i’m so weak..afraid..i’m a fool..”

Jinki leaned on Key as he rest his head on top of the other. Tears starting to form in his eyes.

“I choose to love you in silence, for in silence I find no rejection…I choose to love you in your loneliness, for in your loneliness no one owns you…but me..I love you so much..Kim Kibum..”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minho found an empty room in the hotel. He was now riding a bus back to Hara’s house. He hoped he would find Key there.

“why did you left..why didn’t you wait for me..” Minho looked outside the window. it is already 2:30 am in his clock. He chose to stay all day and night on the hotel room hoping for Key to come back but he didn’t.

He ran his finger on the glass window. He blew air making the glass blurred then he drew a heart sign using his finger.

“Key..”

Then he startled when he felt his phone vibrated. He looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see the caller name. he quickly flipped open his phone and hit the answer button.

“Key!”

“no it’s me..he’s with me..you can come and get him..” the other line said.

“Jinki-hyung?”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minho knocked on the door. After knocking twice the door opened revealing the older boy.

“he’s on my room..he’s sleeping..you can stay until he woke up..he’s tired..so don’t try to wake him up..”

Minho looked at him and bowed. “thank you..”

“I’m not doing you a favor..i’m doing this for Key..”

“still I thank you..” Jinki moved aside to make way for Minho. Minho walked straight to what he supposed to be Jinki’s room.

He slowly walked towards the bed. He crawled near the sleeping figure until he snaked his arms around the other’s body. Key groaned in his sleep but Minho hushed him whispering some sweet words in his ears making the other relax on Minho’s arms. Minho looked at the direction of the door and saw jinki standing on the doorway. He smiled. Jinki returned the smile and walked away.

Jinki smiled but it was sad one. A smile that hides a heartbreak. He’s questioning himself if he’s doing the right thing. But the way Key relax as Minho pulled him closer to his body, how they looked so good together it only gave Jinki reason to let go now.

“maybe it is not really meant to happen..they say if you really love someone when you want him to be happy..even though his happiness means not being a part of it..” Jinki laughed bitterly as he collapsed on his knees cupping his face in his hands and tears flowing down his face. Even though it hurts so bad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key woke up as he felt heavy arms around him. He slowly turned to looked at the owner of those arms. He pulled away when he saw Minho’s sleeping face just inched away from him. He moved away and before he knew it he fell down the bed waking the other boy.

“Key..” Minho shot up when he heard the fall from his side. He looked at thenboy who was now sitting at the floor. “are you ok?”

“Mi..Minho..what..what are doing here?” Key said as he looked at Minho.

“well I’m here because someone called me that you’re here…I’m here because I was worried sick when you left the hotel…I’m here because I want to be with you..i’m here because of you..”

Key stood up and was to walk away when Minho pulled him to stop.

“please Minho..we already talked about this..and I’m not repeating myself..” But even before Key finished his talking Minho pulled him back to bed.

Minho cupped Key’s face making him look at his way. “listen Key..Hara and I..we’re over..”

Key looked at him disbelieving look. “what are talking about..? you broke up with her..”

“no..she broke up with me..no actually..she told me that she’s letting me free..”

“what are you talking about?”

“Hara knows about us..but keep it..now she told me that she will give way for us…I never imagined I married such wonderful person..i loved her..but she knew I love you more…Key I’m a free man now..we can be together again..like before..like before this all happened…” Minho hugged him tightly afraid for Key to walk away from him again. Key on other hand was left surprise. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. All these years, this is the moment he was waiting for..for Minho to tell him that he will stay with him like he promise..like before…the time when everything is just perfect..but why? Why is he feeling different? He is supposed to feel happy but little inside his heart he didn’t feel that much happiness. Maybe if this happened years earlier, maybe and for sure, he’ll be the happiest person alive but now..it is not the feeling he have..he’s not happy..

Key and Minho walked out of the room. Key didn’t speak any word since Minho told him about the ‘we’ll be together again thing’. Minho walked ahead of Key and stopped when he was just in front of the door.

“I’ll get a taxi…it’s cold outside..wait for me here…i’ll come back to get you..” and Minho kissed him on the lips.

Key was about to take a seat on the couch when Jinki came out of the spare room. His hair is messy like he just woke up. Jinki avoided Key’s gaze and continued walking towards the kitchen. Key stood and followed jinki on the kitchen.

Jinki jumped on surprised when he found Key standing behind him.

“you called him?” Key asked and Jinki saw the softness in his eyes. Maybe he did the right thing.

“yes..you can’t stay here for long..i need to go somewhere this weekend..” Jinki said as he sat down on the dining table.

“about..last night..” Key started.

“oh..that..i’m sorry for the..you know..i just don’t know how to stop you from crying..and..”

“the one you told me…”

Key looked at the Jinki who was staring at his coffee.

“oh..i think forgot what I said last night..” Jinki looked at him as he scratched the back of his neck.

“Key!” they heard Minho calling from the door.

“if it’s the case, I shouldn’t bother you more..thank you for yesterday..bye..” Key bowed as he walked away from the table.

“Key..” Key stopped when he heard Jinki called. Inside of him he was expecting something.

“just promise me one thing..If he says he loves you and your heart doesn’t skip a beat, don’t say it back, because you don’t..”

And Jinki looked at him and smiled. Key returned the smile and walked away.

“goodbye…”

Title: I'm In Love with a Star

Chapter:1

Pairing: KeyX?...to be revealed as the story goes on..

Genre: romance, fluff, angst

Rating: PG-13 for now..

Summary: Fame and Fortune. These are the words to describe the rising singer-actor, Kim Key. He got everything not until a SCANDAL video ruined everything. After finding himself in a hiding, he found something he’ll never have in the world he came from…true love awaits...

Disclaimer: I don’t own them unless SM sell them to me..^_^

“ok..thanks..bye..”

He looked at the boy on the couch as he put down his phone. “the management called…very good job..my boy..” and he patted him on shoulder before he exited the room.

“very good job..huh..?” the boy bowed as he hid his face from no one. His body trembled as he tried to suppress his tears. “he deserves it..you know he deserves it..” he whispered to himself.

Or maybe not….

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“you fucker…you are disgusting..!!”

“you are to be down..asshole…!!!”

“yuck..a trash in the society..get out of that car..you fool..!!”

Shouting are everywhere as they struggled themselves on the car parked just outside the building. The securities are trying hard to stop the raging fans. His manager blocked him with his body as he saw some paper thrown towards their direction.

“get in quick…”

As they settled themselves inside the car, the manager looked at his talent. “are you ok..?”

The boy nodded as he looked outside his car.

“they used shout my name...praise and love me…they’re fakers..”

“it’s your fault..baby..” the manager said as he motioned for the driver to start the car.

“yeah..it is..my fault..” the boy said as he put on his earphones. He couldn’t handle more harsh words from these people. He closed his eyes as he didn’t want to watch everything he worked hard for is starting to be gone. Slowly out of his hand…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Mr. Han..the boss wants to see you…”

“ok..i’ll be there in a minute..yah..Key just continue the recording..i’ll be right back..”

Key nodded before he cued the director to start the song again.

“what..?!..are you serious..?”

“he’s making too much damage to my company..our other artists are being affected by this..few of their projects are backing off since they thought this artist has the same issue like Key..some of our investors are also thinking of withdrawing…no producer wants to work with him…two big projects just terminate their contract..and then what..? I can’t take risk on this anymore..”

“but..that’s not fair..he’s our talent for almost 10 years..he brought wealth and fame to this management for these years…and the decision to just drop him is unfair..” the manager stood up as he made his side clear. The CEO of the management just told him the decision of the board to drop Key as their talent.

“look MR. Han..i don’t know what kind of relationship you built with this kid..but we are talking about the future of our company and dreams of our upcoming talents..you don’t want to ruin dreams of many to just save a career of someone who doesn’t even responsible of his actions…I thank him for the good things he brought but remember this is not the first time he got in to big issues..the character problem…ditching projects…and now this..this video…the company had enough..so this is him leaving or both of you will…I’m not threatening you but I won’t allow someone against the decision of the board..”

Mr. Han rolled his eyes. “I can’t believe this..i remember the first time I saw that kid..he was 8 years old that day…he was too young…but talented…you..you’re only manager that time..a small unknown talent management company..you’re the one who discovered him..planted this big..big wonderful dream of fame and fortune in that young mind..you’re the one who build that dream for him…who stole the youth from that kid pushing him into trainings and making him believe that this dream..this world..this where he belongs..i can’t believe that now you’re the same person who will let him down..you will take everything he live for…you’re impossible..”

“this is reality…we can show him beautiful things when he’s young but now is the time to show the cruelty of the world…it is not always about winning…all is not fair in the world..if it is fair..then maybe you’re not standing in front of me as nothing but a manager..all these years you’re still like that…it’s really unfair…we started the same time but look now..i’m the CEO but you..you’re just a little manager who is trying to be savior for some talent..now leave..or you will be gone forever in this industry…”

“I don’t know what to feel for you..but I’m feeling sad for you..time will come all of this will coming back to you..an you’ll find yourself alone..” he made his leave. He leaned on the door after he closed it. How will I tell him?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The DreamHigh Entertainment finally gave its official statement. They apologize in the public for not taking good care of their talents. They say that they are taking responsible of the wrongdoings of their talents including this big scandal. They do really care for the dreams of their talents so they decided to terminate any contracts Kim Key have in their management.

“we can’t risk the dreams of our other talents for this misdeed of Key. He’s old enough to take responsibility of his own doings. From this day on, Kim Key is no longer a DreamHigh talent…and never will be again..”

Producers and investors also gave their side in this story. They already terminate any contracts they have to the artist. To total all the projects Key have for this year..one big movie..two tv series..10 endorsements..and many other…the tour the artist to have abroad is also cancelled for the lack of producers.

Key didn’t say anything even from the start. Their fans that are hoping that the idol will still defend himself. it was also confirmed that the long time manager of Key was fired from the company. The album that the artist is working will never be released.

So is it confirmed?...is this the end of the Korean teen superstar Kim Key?..

Key collapsed on the foot of his bed as he clenched the paper near his chest. Tears started to flow from his eyes. He pulled himself into a fetus position as his crying got louder. He looked at his reflection from the wall mirrors as he watched his dreams shattering into pieces.

“is this the end….?”

“at last..i’m done..” Jinki startled as he heard a loud cheer inside the kitchen. He left the kid to finish cleaning up the café for tomorrow. He put down the mop as he made his way to the kitchen.

“hmmm…let me see…” Jinki looked at the cake the boy made. He looked up the boy smiling proud as he showed his masterpiece.

“I promise..?” Jinki was confused with the writing sin the cake.

The boy put out the box from under the table and pulled out the talking bear. Then pressed again the bear’s chest.

You’re my best friend forever. Don’t forget about me. Araso?I’ll do the same. Promise.

Jinki smiled as he now understood why the boy wrote the words in his cake. “ok now all you need to do is pack it and give it to him..”

“yeah..”

They went to the the café’s counter. The boy was sitting on the tall stool watching Jinki putting the cake inside a box. He put a ribbon and a card.

“hyung…you said that the cake is made out of love..so it means you love someone now..and it is because of him you invented such cake..?”

“huh?..well..uhmmm..kind of..”

“what do you mean kind of..?hmmm..aha..like me you never confessed right..?” The boy smiled teasingly as leaned closer to Jinki.

“yah..it’s not like that..well..slight..

“hmmmmm?...”

“ok..ok..you’re right…I never confessed to him..” Jinki lowered his head as continued tying the ribbon on the box.

“why?”

Jinki looked at the curious face of the boy. why?..Jinki looked straight at the caf’e door entrance. He was staring too long as he felt a nudge in his shoulder.

“hyung?”

Jinki smiled and looked at the boy. “well..because I never given a chance..”

“huh?”

“and I’m stupid back then..”

“back then..so you’re telling me you’re in love for a person for a very long time..”

“kind of..” Jinki then pinched the boy’s cheek. “you’re cute…”

“yah..no cute for me..i’m grown up to call like that..” and Jinki laughed louder as he shuffled the boy’s hair.

“but seriously hyung..is this you love still around..?”

“well..kind of..”

“and still you’re not together..”

“well…”

“seriously hyung..you need help..better move now or you’ll regret a chance to be with your love..”

“look who’s talking..if not for me you’ll never consider confessing to that boy..” Jinki said as heleaned closer to the boy who was acting like an adult giving advice on love.

“well at least me I’m ready to face it now..how about you hyung..if I ask you now and tell you if you can confess tonight..can you?..huh?”

“of course I can..” Jinki said the words even before he processed the words. “uhmmm I mean..”

“you said it..i guess you’re not just bragging and you hyung is not lying..”

“I’m not..but..”

“call that person now..” the boy said as he grinned enjoying the teasing game with his hyung.

“but no..we’re stopping now..”

“and so you’re weak..you’ll forever a loser in love..i can’t believe myself taking an advice from a loser like you..” the boy looked away as he folded his arms in his chest.

“yah..i’m not a loser..

“then call her..or him..”

“but..”

“hyung…call now or loser forever..”

“ok..fine..i’ll call him..”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“arggghh..” Minho hardly kicked the tire of his car. He looked so pissed as he checked on the flat shape of his tire.

Minho took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number he knew with heart. But all he got was an annoying busy tone from the other line. The nth time that night he cursed his luck as he was stranded into a secluded highway.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jinki looked at his contacts as he made side glanced on the boy. He sighed as he felt defeat over a high school boy. he then found what he was looking for. Hara gave him Key’s number as she believed that they are better to go out again.

“hyung…what’s taking you so long..?”

“yah..ok..here I’ll press it now…” Jinki showed his phone to the boy who was grinning at him.

Jinki pressed the phone in his ear as he hit the call button. After five rings, the sound of the operator reached his ears.

“he’s not answering..maybe he’s sleeping..”

“try again..”

Jinki pushed the redial button and after another five rings, the call was connected. Jinki panicked as he heard breathing on the other line. Jinki waited for the other to talk but after some good seconds of silence Jinki was the first to speak.

“hello..Key..this is Jinki..”

“…..”

“Key..are…you there?” Jinki looked at his phone to check if he pressed the right contact and put it back after confirming it is definitely Key’s.

“Key..this is..” he was cut when he heard soft sobbing sounds. Right there he definitely sure that the other was crying.

“Key..it’s Jinki.. are you ok?” Jinki’s tone became serious. The nervous tone he have that fits an unready confession was replaced with concern.

“….”

“where are you?..Key please answer me..i’m coming..please tell me..” Jinki could feel his heart beating so fast. He pushed the box on the boy’s direction. He grabbed the café’s key and handed it to the boy motioning him to lock the store for him. He raced outside, ran in to his car, fished out his keys from his pocket and drove away from the store. He drove as his phone still pressed on his ears. He didn’t hang up the phone so he could hear Key’s breathing and it made him feel less worried.

“Key..please tell me where you are..?”

“n..eed..y..ou..” he listened as Key spoke those words.

“I’m coming..just stay there ok..” Jinki didn’t have any idea where Key is. He just drove his car and hoped that it will take him where Key is. Every second he could hear key saying those words. Jinki felt a little hurt since he knew that it was Minho he was referring to.

“I’m coming..”.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key’s POV

I felt vibration in my hand. I looked at it and an unregistered number flashed. I put down the phone not in the mood to speak to anyone. After a few rings it stopped. Then silence again. It was deafening. It felt so cold. I hugged myself tighter as more tears fell down my eyes. Then as I closed my eyes, the phone rings again. This time I took it.

“hello..Key..this is Jinki..” I didn’t answer back. My mind feels so numb that I can’t figure out who’s callung and what he’s saying.

 “Key..are…you there?” then I opened my eyes. I listened to his voice. It felt so familiar. So good. Then I started to cry. I didn’t know why but I feel so mixed up. I couldn’t figure out what am I feeling now.

“Key..this is..”

“Key..it’s Jinki.. are you ok?” I opened my lips to talk but there’s no sound coming out. His voice is so familiar. I closed my eyes as I tried to speak his name. I can’t explain but it was like I was brought back to my past. Where everything is just fine. I’m alone it is true but it never felt this way.

 “where are you?..Key please answer me..i’m coming..please tell me..” until he came. The first time I saw him it felt so good. The time he saved me it felt so light. The way he smiled at me and offered his help, it felt so beautiful. The way I looked at him and as he looked back, it felt so right.

But then you’re gone. You left me. But it was not your fault. It’s mine. I never had the chance to see you again. I waited. I hoped. I wished. But I failed. The last thing I regretted is that I never knew you’re name. I could remember you once say it but I was too absurd and so into ignoring you that it slipped me. All I know is you’re LJ. You owned this cute smiley charm, and you baked the most awesome chocolate cake. Your smile I could see it in my dreams. But your face. I wanted to remember it but somehow every time I reminisce the past all I see is your back when you left me that day on the store. The day that I was stupidly pushed away. And I regretted it. I hate myself so much…that was the last time I saw you..

“n..eed..y..ou”..yes I need you. Up to now I still hoped you’ll comeback. Save me again. Make feel special. I need you.

“I’m coming..”

I’ll wait…

Flashback

“what..?but mom..” Jinki was so happy that day when a call from his mom woke him up that morning. But the enws she brought was a different story.

“no buts son..me and your father planned this long time ago..and you know how I wanted to be with you again..i can’t believe myself when I left you there..i promised myself me and your dad that we’ll work hard so we can bring you here..”

“but mom..i’m fine here..i have my schooling here..i can’t stop now..my life is here..my friends.. and..”

“you don’t missed us..me, dad, and your sister..don’t you want to be with us..here in china..we’ll be a one big family again..don’t you like it…”

Jinki’s father was a business man. But after losing half of his invested stock in a pyramid scam, he decided to employ himself abroad to support his family. After two years, his father took his mother there. Then after a year, his sister was brought there. He decided to stay since he was in senior year in high school. Then something came, there was a recession in china that time, and his father afraid of losing his job, he was told to stay in Korea for good. And he wanted it. he was happy to stay. You already now why.

“but mom..i do love to be with you..but my studies..”

“you can continue it here..your subjects will be credited so don’t worry..”

“but..c’mon..if it’s your study don’t worry about that..unless the one you can’t left behind is a ‘who’?”

“mom..”

“Jinki I already sent your ticket..you’re leaving after your semestral break.” And the call was ended.

Jinki sighed as he looked at his phone. he can’t leave. He’s in third year now. he just can’t leave.

“hey..are you ok..?” a girl in ponytail asked him as he handed him the order.

“actually no..Vic..what should I do..?”

“about..”

“everything..” Jinki looked at the seat corner. He was thinking about the boy. he was never visited the café after that day and it was three months ago.

“must really give up..and try living in China..”

“what..? china..who’s living in china..” Victoria blurted out as he almost loose grip on the cup.

“well my parents are telling me to go and stay there with them..”

“what?..i just came..and we are just starting to enjoy our friendship then we’ll be separated..oppa..”

“yah..you’re older than me..” Jinki said as he playfully pushed Victoria away from the counter. “but you’re right..”

Victoria rolled her eyes as he walked towards the customer’s table.

Tiffany resigned two months ago. She was failing in her grades and her parents made her stop doing part time jobs. Then luckily after that he met Victoria. He smiled to himself as he realized all of his to called best friends are girls.

Although he slowly lost hope for the boy coming back, he still baked the cake almost every day. The manager even liked the cake and made it a special recipe in there café. all the customers who got the chance to taste it all commented that it was the most delicious cake they ever tasted. And he was always told them back that it was because it was made with love.

“maybe I should give up..”

After a week he resigned. The day before his flight to China and officially his last day in that café, he baked again his original chocolate cake. He smiled as he put the sweet inside the display. He kneeled as he watched it from the glass.

“I hope you’ll taste this again..by that time I’m gone but I promise that I’ll love you..always.. as long as I remember how to bake this cake..my love will stay..i wish you happiness and..I love you…” then with one last look, he waved goodbye to Your Place.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback in Key’s view

After that day, and after I gave back his phone and apologized, I kept this cute charm of him. I don’t know but I really feel good whenever I had this. I opened my fridge and smile as I was greeted my the half slice of the cake he gave me. I was hesitant to taste it since others say when you taste sweet at the first time you’ll get addicted until you can’t even stop. But I was happy I decided to have a bite. And it felt so different. I ate half of the slice first and decided to keep the other half.

When I saw my empty plate I decided to give him a visit tomorrow. And also to thank and apologize to him.
that day I dressed up beautifully. I walked the street with a smile and it felt so good. When I was just in front of the entrance, I saw him. he was smiling and it made me weak. I was to open it when I saw something that really pained me in the heart.

That girl. She’s beautiful. She got this long wavy hair. Her face is gorgeous and unique in some way. As I remembered, she goes by the name Tiffany. And as I always observed her and my savior is so close. Maybe not just close as friends but more than that. You can’t deny the chemistry they have. Everytime I chose to stay in the café to drink my coffee there, I would here some conversation from the customer, that they looked good together, that they envy the girl for a nice boyfriend or vice versa, that they must really in love to work in the same place, and many more that brought my hopes of him seeing me like I do falls flat in the ground.

That kissed in the cheek. And it sealed all the question I have. They are more than what you think. And I turned away. I don’t need any of this. I felt heartbreak when my parents divorced. And this is more painful. Maybe because I put too much hope. All the pain I have now is my fault.

Then I stopped walking as I looked at the charm now hanging in my phone. I closed my eyes and slowly licked my lips as I imagined the sweet taste of his cake. I tried to memorize it by heart. Something that will always belong to me. That cake I know something is different. The taste. The after effect. All of these made me feel I’m special. That I am special to him.

I focused myself in studying. It was my second semester in first term in college. And it was really tiring. I go home late because of my part time work in a bookstore. Then I have full load so I can graduate faster. Three months passed and didn’t even notice it. but then one night it came to me. My urge to see him again. So decided to visit the café again.

I was not hoping to see him again but a little part of me shouted that I need to see him. I entered the shop and was greeted by this new girl. i ordered the regular and again I forgot that she’s new. I sat myself in the corner near the window. my attention was in the counter waiting for him to show up. But I frowned when I young boy much smaller than him came out of the kitchen.

No one’s POV

He looked at them hoping that there will be another one to come out but all he got was small conversation from the new employees.

“so sad he need to go..i was really enjoying his company..” the girl said as she received the hot coffee.

“yeah..but it was nice of him to leave this cake last night..we’ll surely missed this cake..” the boy said.

“let’s take it and reserve it for us..hey why is it last the slice..?” the girl whined as she bent down to look at the glass display.

“well our cake is the best..especially this..there are customers who ordered this..”

Key the averted his gaze to his left and saw this two girls just a table away from him.

“this taste so delicious..”

“I bet who made this is in love..”

Key was surprised when a hand dropped on his shouldr.

“sir are you ok..here is your coffee..” the girl said as she placed the cup in front of Key.

“uhmm the cake..is it a chocolate cake..?”

The girl looked at him and nodded.

“can I have a slice please..?” Key said as he pulled out his payment.

“but sir..the last slice is reserved..” Key heard them a while ago. The slice is not reserved but to be reserve by this girl.

“please..i’m begging..” the girl looked at him straight in the eye then smiled.

“just a while sir..”

The girl came back with the cake. “enjoy sir.”

Key looked at it. then slowly he grabbed the fork, took a small portion and put it in his mouth. H felt like tearing up as well so happy. This is his cake. then something hit him. he looked again at the two girls at his left. Then he go back to the conversation he heard a while ago. Then cake being the best seller.

Key felt his heart sank so deep inside of him. He clenched on his chest as he felt so hard to breath. He started to feel the tears welling up in his eyes. Everything he believed in was all made up by his mind. The cake is not for him. there’s nothing special about it. it was just an ordinary cake. it was made perfectly for it to be sold in this café. to bring loyal customers. The cake brings a different feeling but it was not for him. he never felt so disappointed like this before. It felt like three months ago when he saw him being kissed by that girl.

He stood up and quickly walked towards the entrance door. He stopped when he was just in front of the counter he walked near it his head bowed down. He looked up to the boy who was seemed confused by his actions.

“where..where is your baker?”

“what? Sir I don’t understand you..”

“the one..who bake…that cake..”

“oh..hyung..he already resigned..so bad I didn’t even met him inperson..the one who bake this wonderful cake for our café…maybe he’s really a good person..uhmm what is his name again..lee..ju..ji..hey” Key turned his back , grabbed the door handle and walked away from the café. He never looked back. He walked straight ahead. And he promised not to hope again. And most of all not to fall in love again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“thank you sir for the ride..” Minho said as he was at last given a free ride to his destination.

“where are you going again son..?”

“Safe place Hotel..the one near the amusement park..”

“you looked so excited huh?” the old man said as he low down the radio of his car.

“well I am sir..this is the first time I feel so happy…like this is time you’ll get what you ever wanted in your life..”

“hmmm..it’s wonderful..you described it like the feelings I have when I married my wife..” Minho looked at the old man and he smiled even bigger.

“hang on kid..we’ll driving fast to your dream..” Minho smiled. He looked outside as the establishment was so bright with light giving the city life. He closed his eyes as he imagined the time he was waiting for a long time. He looked down at his hand. he smiled sweetly as he played the ring on his finger.

“at last.. you’ll be mine..again..forever..”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Key..hello are still there..will you please tell me where you are..” Jinki again failed to get an answer. He was about to give up, after driving like crazy to nowhere when he heard some knocking over the phone. He pulled over and concentrated on the sound from the other line.

“good evening..this is safe place hotel housekeeping service..” Jinki’s face lighten up when he heard it clearly. He started the car and drove the car as fast a she could to that place.

“I’m coming..Key..I’m coming..”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Footsteps can be heard. Noise made as rubber meets tiled floor. The boy breathing was becoming uneven as he forced himself up. There is one more floor left. He cursed as luck really fuck making the elevator malfunctioning at time like this.

Room 407

He ran on the corridor as he looked for the room number. And when he was just in front of it, he swallowed hard. He closed his eyes as he entered the card key.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The room was dark the only light was coming from the slight opened blinds. He walked closer to the bed. He stopped when he saw a curled figure. He slowly climbed the bed and moved closer to the boy. He looked at the sleeping form of the boy. He carefully brushed away the strands of hair covering the beautiful face of his love. He then caressed his cheeks and slowly drew a line from his forehead down to his nose then to his lips. He felt movement from the boy and even before he was able to move away his hand Key shot up looked at him with surprise. Key panicked as he can’t see anything because of the darkness. As a reaction, he quickly wrapped his stronger arms around the weak boy and softly uttered words to his ears.

“Key..I’m here..”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a/n: yay I lied when I said it will be only 12 parts..i wrote to long that I need to cut it into parts..so meaning the ending will not be in part 12..but don’t worry it will not exceed 15 parts.

And yeah cliffhanger..who arrived first? Who will Key choose? Who will he end up with..? Just hang on..continue reading..continue giving me inspiration.. actually I have written another ending that is really surprising. I just need to choose one from my two..both are different I swear…and they didn’t differ to who will Key end up with…and again I have another ending in mind…I love endings…I’ll see what ending is better ..give me some love..ok?!…^_^

 UPDATE NEW FIC:
I'M IN LOVE WITH A STAR - 1/?

Title: I'm In Love with a Star

Chapter: Preview

Pairing: KeyX?...to be revealed as the story goes on..

Genre: romance, fluff, angst

Rating: PG-13 for now..

Summary: Fame and Fortune. These are the words to describe the rising singer-actor, Kim Key. He got everything not until a SCANDAL video ruined everything. After finding himself in a hiding, he found something he’ll never have in the world he came from…true love awaits...

Disclaimer: I don’t own them unless SM sell them to me..^_^

It is true! It was confirmed that singer-actor Kim Key was the boy in the scandal video. His management denied the rumors about the rising star but was proven lying when the video uploader showed more concrete evidences such as pictures to the press which shows clearer footage of the boy’s face. He gave an official testimony about the truth behind the scandal video and even told the public that he was ready to be on jail if proven wrong. The recent scandal video became the hottest news in the industry. Fans all over the world are divided into supporters and anti’s. Anti fans showed their reaction as they protest in front of star’s apartment and his agency’s building. The supporter on other hand showed their love as they defend their idol in any way they can. Kim Key never gave his own side about the scandal. It is either the boy is being told by agency or the boy chooses to be quiet than to lie. But the bigger question is, for the fans and everyone in the industry, WHO WAS THE “OTHER” BOY IN THE VIDEO?

“fuck..when will they stop, huh?” an old man of his thirties turned off the television. Everywhere, all they could hear is the news. Newspaper, magazine, talk show and even world news from China. “you see how big this is..your little stupid needs gave us a world of head ache..now tell me how can we sneak out of this,huh?..what if the management had enough of this..of you..where will you go?..”

The main focus of the news was silently sitting on the coach his attention was on his computer. He was checking his fansite. It was filled with hate message, some are even message of disgust.

“I never Knew he’s gay..i even dreamed of him as my husband..now everytime I remember that dream I felt disgusted..”

“how can he..?we love him so much..i spend all my money for his concerts and then..i hate him..”

“he got a nice body..if given a chance..i want to f**** him too..”

He sighed as he closed his laptop and put it down. He brought his fingers on his temples as he started to massage it for relaxation.

“hyung..we couldn’t change everything..we can’t deny it since we are the losers here if we are proven lying..we can’t just let the news go on..Key has contracts and this can’t be just like this..” a younger looking boy stood up as he walked beside the older boy.

“I know that..no need to remind me..two projects already backed out..they don’t want any bad promotions on their projects..two more is still pending your contract..”

“how about the album?” Key asked as he opened his eyes and stared at the older boy.

“well..i don’t hear anything from our bosses..they are not yet stopping the album..so maybe we’ll continue on that..but I doubt that they’ll let us release it this time..” the eldest sat down across him calmer this time.

“good..” Key said as he go back to his little massage session.

“you look so calm..you’re not worried about this..” the other boy asked. Key looked at him and stared at him as if he was telling him an obvious.

“I have a scandal video..half of the world population watched it..I was naked in front of their very eyes..they feasted on my body..i have nothing to hide…do you think the word ‘calm’ is appropriate for me..” Key said as he continued to stare at the boy. the said boy averted his gaze as he felt the other’s emotion. Key reacted different from what is expected. Someone having this kind of scandal would be hysterical and even thought of suicide but Key was different. When he heard the news he was surprised but after that he was calm. He didn’t cry or even showed that he was depressed. He has this natural look on his face. But for the people around him, Key somehow changed.

“ok..then this will be our plan..we’ll be staying out of the news..you’ll carry on your remaining projects..including the album..then let’s see how this news go on..”

“Thanks..” a small smile was seen on the rising star, the first after the spread of the said video.

For a man like him, every hour is as essential as air. Every hour of his life is spent wisely. Too precise for young aged guy like him. His day start as soon as the sun rises. 6 am he gets up from his bed fix it nicely. Then for half an hour he’ll take a bath, puts freshly ironed clothes and style his hair. Exactly 6:30 he’ll be eating his breakfast. Five minutes of it is for heating microwave processed breakfast. Then after that as he sip his hot coffee, he’ll be checking his schedule, open his mail to check for any messages, then he’ll fix his bag and checks if everything needed in work is in it. Then at 7:00 he’ll be leaving for work. He’ll be working for exactly 8 hours as a business consultant. At 3:30 he’s ready to leave his office to drop by the university. He’s also a consultant there for students taking up business in writing their final paper. Then at 6:00 he’ll be dropping by any near restaurant for his dinner.

Then at exactly 10:00 he’ll be tucking himself to bed. That’s his daily routine. No extra time for things that aren’t scheduled or out of his routine. This is his life. This is Kim Jonghyun.

“I’m boarding the train now..be sure to send me the papers I needed via email..” Jonghyun ended the cal as he let the guard check his luggage. He just called his secretary for additional reminders. He’s on a business trip out of city. He’ll be visiting site where one of his clients planned on building a branch of his business. He couldn’t say no since the man is long time customers of their company. Aside from this fact, there gave him this customer and all he wanted in life is to be the best in the eyes of his boss. Promotion and high payment is his only goal.

Jonghyun settled himself in an empty seat. He sat near the window after disposing his luggage on the stowage bin. He looked at his watched. The ride will take 2 hours before he arrived on the place. 9:00 am so by 11 am I’ll be arriving there..good..the earlier we finished the faster I can get home.. he thought.

After some more minutes of waiting the train started to move. He closed his eyes as he felt tiredness all over his body. He adjusted himself into a more comfortable position and went straight to dreamland.

“we’re having trouble in our engine..so for everyone just relax..we’ll be trying to fix it immediately..you can get off the train if you want but don’t wander too far away..”

Jonghyun slowly woke up as he heard someone shouting near him. he opened his eyes and looked at the window. He looked at his clock and groaned as he slowly understand the situation.

“excuse me..but you see I’m in a hurry..when will this train be fix..?” Jonghyun asked to the train conductor.

“I’m sorry sir..but we’re doing our very best to make it..this is an accident and I’m sorry for any delay we cause on you..”

“what..what do you think I supposed to do now..?”

“well sir..we’re really sorry..if you like while waiting you can walk around..this place is beautiful..fresh air..very different from the city..”

“aish..” Jonghyun rolled his eyes as he went back to his seat. He fished out his phone to call for his office but to add more to his anger it registered no signal.

“where in the world am i? no signal..aish..” Jonghyun stood up making his way out of the train as he raised his phone in air as if signal will come if he does. He was doing this as he walked father from the train. He continued this not until he heard giggling sound from his back. He put down his phone as he turned around to look to this sound. he put his scary face but didn’t last long. There he saw a creature he, Kim Jonghyun, can call beautiful.

And it is true, It only takes a minute to have a crush on someone…

After some minutes of staring to this beautiful thing, Jonghyun averted his gaze as he tried to find his composure back.

“what’s so funny..?”

“I’m sorry but it was fun watching you..you’re like dancing with your hands up in air like this..” Jonghyun was even surprised to hear the boy’s voice. It is sweet. He then looked back at the boy. he was sitting in the grass just beneath a shady tree. He was wearing a plain white long sleeved shirt and blue tight denim pants. His hair is a bit long especially in front and is chestnut brown in color. His eyes are as amazing as his whole face. Too sad one of his eyes is hidden beneath his bangs. His nose is small and his lips are thin as a girl’s lips. He is quite thin and so pale.

“excuse me..you are staring at me..” the boy spoke once more making Jonghyun panicked as he was caught staring.

“I’m..not..it’s just..you know rude to laugh at someone..” Jonghyun stuttered as he hid his face. But too late the other boy already noticed the blush on the other’s face.

“you’re blushing..you like me huh?” Jonghyun looked at the boy surprised with the remark. He’s too blunt for a boy..is he flirting with me?.. he thought.

“Look young man..if you’re flirting with me well I say I’m not interested..” Jonghyun was about to walked away but was stopped when he felt a hold on his arm.

“no..i’m sorry..i didn’t mean to flirt with you..if that what you think I did..” Jonghyun looked at the boy. He was even more amazing up close. He’s skin is flawless and look soft. Jonghyun shook his head as he tried to block some inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

“ok..just let go..i need to go back to my train..”

“but train is not yet fix..it is ok to stay here..i’m also a passenger so don’t worry to be left behind..i’m with someone..he’ll text me if the train will leave..”

Jonghyun couldn’t believe himself as he was persuaded by this boy. As a business consultant you need to be strong not be easily give in to people around you. If you do that’s the end of your career.  But in this case he just easily give in and to sum it all to a boy..to a stranger to be exact..

Then there he found himself sitting beside a stranger under a shady tree. He looked at the boy who has his eyes close and seem so relax. He averted his gaze as he scanned his surroundings. It is peaceful. He slowly closed his eyes as cool air blew making him shiver. But it felt good he thought. Then after a while, he was about drift back to sleep when a flash of light startled him.

“what the..?” he shrieked looking at boy in front of him a camera in his hands. “did you just took a picture of me..sleeping..”

“yeah..you look cute so I took one..” the boy smiled as if it was ok to just take pictures of people without permission.

“yah..give it to me..” Jonghyun stood up to reach for the photo but failed as the boy ran away from him. Jonghyun felt competitiveness crawl up his system. He’ll get the photo no matter what. He ran after the boy as he tried to take the photo. From afar it was a beautiful scene to watch. They looked like happy couple having fun in the middle of a peaceful plain. It is simply wonderful.

“you kid..just..give..it..to..mme..” Jonghyun panted after running after the boy for almost 15 minutes now. (he noted that in his mind..)

“I don’t want to..you’re going…to …rip it..i’ll keep it..” the boy was panting the same as him as he supported himself with his back in a tree looking at Jonghyun who has his hands on both knees.

“you don’t look too old to be panting like an old cow after a short time of running..” the boy teased him as the other  slowly stepped nearer still have the goal of getting the picture.

“haha..just give it to me now..”

“no..”

“oh you..i…why?..” Jonghyun is really getting annoyed with this game. The young boy is making fun of him and this is the first anyone do it to him.

“I took it..every picture I get are precious to me..pictures are my life..every picture I take have different meaning to me..in pictures you can see things in different perspective..and this is same with my other pictures..i won’t let anyone just throw away a photo I took..i’ll keep it..”

Jonghyun stared at the boy. He’s smart he thought. And second time that day he was amazed by the boy’s beauty.

“ok..do whatever you want..i’m out of here..” he walked away towards the broken train leaving the boy alone under the tree.

It is true. It takes an hour to like someone.
