Key's P.O.V

Their fingers were intertwined, as they made their way around the school grounds with an ice cream in the other hand - of course Kibum was eating the strawberry flavored kind. They had been chatting about all and nothing all day and Kibum just couldn't stop smiling again. He had missed this so much.

"Woohyun," He grinned at the boy beside him, as they walked towards his apartment complex, "I missed you!"

The dark haired boy glared a bit at Kibum, but he couldn't help but smile as well - it had been the perfect day, "It's you, who have been too busy with your boyfriend! I thought you had forgotten all about me!"

Kibum faked to gasp, "How could I forget you? You're my best friend!" As he said this he couldn't help but reach over with his ice cream and smear some in Woohyun's face, "and besides - Jonghyun at dancing - I need you!"

"What are you doing?" Woohyun exclaimed loudly trying to remove the ice cream on his face with the sleeve of his shirt sending Kibum another glare, "I don't get why Jonghyun wants to date a brat like you!"

"Me neither," Kibum sighed dreamily, as he once again thought about the trip they had had together to visit his grandmother. It had been beyond amazing, "I must have done a good deed in my last life!"

"Yeah," The other boy agreed, as he eyed Jonghyun in the distance, as he was standing outside waiting for Kibum's return, but instead of letting go of the other's hand, he chose to get his revenge right away by pulling Kibum closer and giving his hand a squeeze.

The brunette didn't realize what was happening, before it was too late - as he looked up his brown orbs met Jonghyun's, who was beyond furious at that time. With long strives he reached them in no time not letting his gaze leave Kibum at any point making the usual confident boy shrink on the inside.

"What are you doing?" Jonghyun asked coldly, as he still stared into the latter's eyes.

Kibum felt helpless even though he had done nothing wrong .This was how he and Woohyun had been, since they were kids, "I-, I'm-, well-,"

He was tongue tied, which usually didn't happen to him. He always had a quick reply ready, and he didn't care what other's thought of him, so why was he being like this right now?

"I'm with Woohyun like we discussed yesterday," The brunette finally stood up for himself, as he denied to budge as well. He had done nothing wrong.

Jonghyun sighed loudly, as he tried to control his jealousy, which he had promised Kibum to do, but it was hard, when he was running around flirting with every guy he saw, "I agreed on the two of you hanging out together - not going on a date."

He gestured to the two of them holding hands, before he looked away once again, as he ran his fingers through his hair. He really tried to control himself.

Kibum finally understood that he probably had done a bit wrong, as he unleashed his fingers from Woohyun, who had been standing beside him shifting awkwardly while listening to their conversation, "Go home."

 With no questions asked Woohyun turned around on his heels to get away from the fight, that he had no idea, if he had been a part of or not. Hopefully not - he was pretty sure Jonghyun was stronger than him, and he didn't want to get beaten up.

"Listen up Jonghyun," Key finally sighed, as he had made sure his friend wasn't able to hear what they were talking about anymore, "I wasn't cheating on  you; I would never do that. Please trust me!"

Jonghyun looked up a bit ashamed, but insecurity was still written deeply in his dark brown eyes,"I really want to believe you Key, but I'm so afraid to lose you. I wouldn't know what to do, if you ever left me."

The two of them stared into each other's eyes, as they shared a short but sweet moment. They finally understood that they were equally insecure about this relationship. They loved each other so much that they were afraid it wasn't real. What if they woke up any minute to realize it was all just a long unreal dream, and they would never experience something like this ever again?

"I hated the pink notes!" Key blurted not breaking their eye contact once, "I couldn't stand not knowing who was being that foolish. It seemed so stupid to me, but I'm happy you did it. I came to love hating the pink notes, and I can't fall asleep without reading them at night."

A small smirk played on top of Jonghyun's lips, as he them slowly before replying, "I hate how you have to clean everything. I hate how you almost unpacked everything for me the first day we met. I couldn't find anything for an whole month - and when I finally was able to find my things again, you cleaned once again."

"Well I hate how bad you are at math. I had to study all nights some days in order to finish my own homework. And I hate the fact that I started enjoying the time we spent together even more."

"I hate how honest you are all the time. Why can't you even tell a white lie once again to make someone feel better? Why can't you just tell me that you went shopping instead of telling me, that you're hanging out with Woohyun, when you know I hate it?"

They stared at each other for what seemed forever, but it wasn't enough time for any of them. Forever was awfully short when they wanted to be together for en eternity - or even longer than that, if it was possible.

Arguing, talking, cuddling, fighting, kidding around - they wanted to it for way longer than forever.

Key broke into a huge playful smile, as he took a few steps over to his lover. His eyes had this glint that told Jonghyun something was definitely wrong, but he wasn't going to do anything about it. He wasn't going to be the one ruining the moment.

Before he had the chance to react a pink post it had been planted on his forehead and Key's lips had brushed his quickly, before the younger boy had ran towards the building behind Jonghyun.

Key felt a sudden happiness bubble of happiness forming inside him, as he quickly glanced behind him. It was an old pink post it, he had found in Jonghyun's room, while he had been cleaning, and without thinking he had taken it, cause surely it belonged to him.
