It took no time for Kibum to get used to having Nam Jonghyun as a real friend, too. Move over, only two weeks after their first eye-to-eye meeting, they became almost inseparable. Waking each other with morning calls, meeting for once a day at least for an hour (thanks to the close distance of Hyun’s office to Kibum’s  company building), eating lunch or early dinner together and of course, ending the day with a good night call.

         Their friendship didn’t even look like one anymore. Pokes, slight slaps on the arm, accident touch of their skin and oh, those hugs… Key was about to go crazy because of them! Hyun was so pleasurable to touch, so tempting sometimes. So warm, so close to him.

         But his affections obviously weren’t only towards him, he saw that everytime Jieun came into the picture.

         Although she always came late and left early, Eun often hung out with them, too. She wasn’t a bad person, though- Kibum was able to see a little bit of everything that kept Jonghyun stick to her: Jieun's outspoken intellect, her sense of humor and her pureness made him clear why Hyun would think about being in a intimidate relationship with her. Still he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable around those two- the sight of them made him feel uneasy and hurt, which frustrated even him more. He knew it wasn’t good, but he secretly wanted to take her place somehow or at least make her disappear so he could have Nam Jonghyun for himself only.

         However, there was somebody else who didn’t have a clue on what is happening around him, too. Kim Jonghyun.

         He sensed something was off from the very beginning: Jjong knew Key enough to realize that he would definitely not just let some stranger storm into his life so easily. Kibum trusted people hardly, he knew, and it usually took him quite some time to let someone in. So why was Key’s relationship with that namesake of his developing so quickly? Not that he was jealous of course; he was just worrying about his friend.

         Exactly that feeling of worry made everything collapse all of a sudden.

“Key hyung, why are you just sitting there? Won’t you eat some?” Taemin asked, taking a huge bite of the pizza Key bought and chewed happily.

“I’m not hungry Tae, I ate while waiting.” Kibum answered, grinning to his childish expression. “Do you like it?”

“Of course! It’s been so long since we ate pizza, isn’t it?”

“He is right,” Onew added, almost choking with his coke. “I was getting sick of the rice we eat at dinner. Thank you, Key-dongsaeng!”

“Well actually it was Hyun who suggested me to buy pizzas for you, too.” Kibum smiled, heart fluttering just because of the memory.

“How could a Korean get sick of rice, hyung?” Jonghyun cried out, throwing his slice back to his plate. “And why do you call him like that, Key-goon? He’s twenty-six f
