Chapter 8

A fateful encounter [discontinued]

A few weeks have passed since Kibums panic attack and he was now back to normal. Well, kind of. He had these strange dreams now and then, but fortunately it never got that worse that he would get a panic attack. He was glad that Taemin was there for him. He didn't tell Taemin why he got a panic attack and he was glad that Taemin didn't push him to tell him anything.

In these few weeks Taemin spent more time with Minho and Kibum could see that there was something going on between them. He was happy for Taemin, but also a little bit worried. Minho was a celebrity after all and Kibum didn't want Taemin to get hurt. Kibum himself got along with Minho really good. His "relationship" to Jonghyun, if you could call it that, was surprisingly normal. It wasn't like Kibum had expected it to be.

They would greet each other when they saw each other in the hallway. They also talked a little and Kibum found out, that Jonghyun could be really stupid. Stupid but funny. And kind of cute. At this thought Kibum would always shake his head and tried to stop the blush that would creep onto his cheeks.

But beside that they didn't see each other that often. Minho said that Jonghyun was busy finishing his new album and that he always locked himself in his room when he was working on an album or new songs. "He's such a workaholic." Kibum thought while he was sitting on the couch. It has been 4 days since he last saw Jonghyun and since this incident had happened.


~Flashback~


"Hyung~" Taemin called from his room. "What is it Tae?" Kibum yelled back. He was sitting at the kitchen table and was reading in one of his textbooks. "Could you check the mail? I ordered something a while ago but it hasn't arrived yet." With a sigh Kibum closed his textbook and stood up to go to the front door. "Sure Taemin."

"I do too much for this kid." He thought as he closed the door behind him and walked to the elevator. As he reached the bottom floor he stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the postboxes to look for his and Taemins. As he opened the box he was greeted with lots of different letters, but no package for Taemin.

"Jesus why are there so many?!" He rummaged through some of the letters but most of them were only advertisement. But three of them were different.

He took them out and read what was written on the front. They were addressed to "Kim". And they were sent from SM Entertainment.

"Just great! Now I have to go up to his apartment to bring him them." Kibum thought and groaned.

"Stupid mailman. Can't even do his job right." He mumbled as he waited for the elevator to bring him back up to his floor. As the door opened a tall, young man hurriedly walked inside. "Oh, hi Kibum." The man greeted. "Hi Minho. It's good that you're here, I've got some letters for-"

"Sorry but I really have to go. I'm already late." Minho said and pressed the down button after he gently pushed Kibum out of the elevator. Kibum stood there for a few seconds, his mouth open. He then shook his head and made his way to Jonghyuns and Minhos apartment. It wasn't that he still hated Jonghyun or whatsoever, after they both apologized they got along surprisingly well, but there always was this strange atmosphere when he was around Jonghyun.

"Maybe it's because we don't know each other much." But there was also this other weird thing that had happened. When their hands had touched for the first time there was this light spark of electricity that Kibum had felt. He was sure that Jonghyun had felt it too. Kibum shrugged. It only happened once, so why should he worry about it?

He now stood in front of the apartment door. He cleared his throat and knocked on the door. For a few seconds he heard nothing. He tried again and waited a few seconds.

He was about to go back to his own apartment and give Jonghyun the letters later, as he heard someone yell behind the door. "I'm coming!" After that followed a loud thud, as if someone had tripped over something and landed on the floor.

"." Kibum could hear the person curse. The door swung open to reveal no other than Kim Jonghyun.


He looked kind of shocked to see Kibum standing there but his shocked expression quickly changed into a cute smile. "Hi Kibum."

"Hi...uhm I just came by to give you some letters that the mailman had accidentally put into our postbox and..." He trailed off, because as he spoke is eyes wandered down from Jonghyuns wet hair, to his handsome face and onto his soaked white shirt. His soaked and see – through shirt.

"Oh god I knew he got abs but they look ten times better in real life." Kibum started to blush and quickly averted his gaze from Jonghyuns chest back to his eyes.

"Oh really? Thank you." Jonghyun said and shot him his signature smile. After Kibum gave him the letters he cleared his throat. "So uhm...how did that happen?" He asked shyly and pointed at Jonghyuns wet hair.

Jonghyun just now realised that he was standing in front of Kibum. Completely soaked. His cheeks started to warm up and he sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"W-Well I tried to bathe Roo and-"

"Who's Roo?" Kibum asked and cutely titled his head to the side. Just as Jonghyun was about to answer, a tiny fluffy brown ball ran past Jonghyun and up to Kibum. Kibum couldn't help but squeal at the little puppy in front of him and bent down to pick her up. "That's Roo." Jonghyun said and couldn't hide the smile that started to bloom on his face as Roo Kibums cheek and the feline boy started to chuckle.

"She's so cute Jonghyun. Where did you find her?" Kibum asked as he walked into the living room after Jonghyun motioned for him to come in. Kibum sat down on the floor with Roo in his lap and patted her.

"I found her a few weeks ago after I had a meeting at the SM building. She was in a box under a bench in the park across the building. She was so tiny back then and I just couldn't leave her there, so I took her with me." Jonghyun said as he sat down beside Kibum and scratched Roo behind her ear. You could tell that she loved the attention. She then her back and let the two males pat her belly.

"I think she already likes you." Jonghyun said with a chuckle as Roo snuggled closer to Kibum and his hand. Kibum hummed in response and smiled down at the little puppy. He then looked at Jonghyun, who was still wet and started to chuckle.

"So this all happened because you wanted to bathe her?" He said and couldn't suppress laughing.

Jonghyun could feel himself getting red. "Y-Yah! It's not that easy okay?" He pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. Kibum couldn't help but start to laugh even more at Jonghyuns adorable pout.

"He's such a puppy."

"Stop laughing." Jonghyun whined and shot him his puppy eyes. Kibum immediately stopped laughing and Jonghyuns heart skipped a beat at the sight of Kibums adorable cheeks who were now slightly pink.

"It can't be that hard." Kibum said and tried to cool down his warm cheeks. "Those damn puppy eyes!"

"You think so? Then try it." Jonghyun said and got up to walk to his room. Kibum quickly stood up as well, Roo still in arms and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I need to change my clothes. The bathroom is down the hall on the right." He said and closed the door. Kibum stood in the hallway dumbfounded.

"He really wants me to bathe HIS puppy?!" Kibum was shocked. How could Jonghyun expect from him to bathe his own puppy? It was his puppy after all.

Kibum looked at Roo in his arms, who looked up at him with her tail wagging and cute puppy eyes.

Kibum sighed and walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

"I hate him so much." He mumbled under his breath.


*~*


Jonghyuns chest was filled with warmth as he thought about Kibum and his cute expression when he saw Roo. He didn't know why but he liked this feeling.

It was a surprise for him to see the feline boy standing in front of his door. He thought that it was Minho who forgot his keys, but he wasn't expecting to see Kibum. After everything was cleared between them he didn't had a chance to hang out with Kibum and to "get closer" to him like he had planned.

"In a friendly way of course." He reminded himself.
He was glad that it didn't got awkward between them after everything that had happened.

 

He took off his shirt and walked over to his closet. He also got along with Taemin pretty good. The younger had apologized over and over again that he had punched him. Jonghyun was quick to forgive him.

It was impossible to stay angry at Taemin.

He was about to put on a black sweater as he heard some strange noises coming from the bathroom. With a frown he walked to his door and looked outside.

"Roo! Stop it! Hey!" Kibum yelled. Jonghyun tried to keep back his laughter as he saw Roo running out of the bathroom, her fur still wet, followed by a furious Kibum.

Kibum had tried to bathe Roo and everything went smoothly until Roo decided that it would be fun to splash water around the tub and to make Kibums shirt and hair wet and completely soaked with water.

She now ran around in the living room to hide from the feline.

In the meantime Jonghyun had the chance to take a look at Kibum.

His blond hair was completely wet and glued to his forehead.

Jonghyun didn't even realise that he had walked out of his room, the black sweater still in his hand, and made a step towards Kibum.

Jonghyun gulped as he saw a single water drop that ran down from Kibums jaw to his neck, his long neck, and disappeared in his soaked shirt.

He could see Kibums pink s through his shirt and he clutched the shirt in his hand tighter.

"Yah Jonghyun! Don't just stand there like a complete idiot and help me." Kibum said and Jonghyun snapped out of his trance like state and started to blush a deep shade of red. "What the hell?! Get yourself together Jonghyun! I just want to get close to him in a friendly way. I'm NOT gay."

Just in that moment Roo ran past Kibum towards Jonghyuns room. Kibum ran after her and slipped on the wet floor, thanks to Roo.

He let out a high pitched shriek because he knew that he would hit the floor face first but fortunately Jonghyun got quick reflexes and was able to catch Kibum in his arms.

However he was surprised that the younger was heavier than he had imagined it so he lost his balance and the two of them landed on the floor.

Kibum had his eyes closed tightly as he fell. He was confused that he didn't feel the hard wooden floor beneath his fingers instead he felt warm skin and muscles.

His eyes shot open and he was met with the sight of Jonghyuns muscular chest and chocolate abs.

"Hey are you okay?" Jonghyun asked and let out a groan because he landed on his back with Kibum on top of him.

Kibums clothed chest was still wet and slightly cold from the water and made Jonghyun shiver. Just then Jonghyun realised how close they were.

Kibum was pressed onto his chest due to his secure grip around his waist and their faces were only a few centimetres away from each other. Kibums hand was placed on his chest and Jonghyun prayed to every almighty being out there that he wouldn't notice how fast his heart was beating at this moment.

They both started to blush and Kibum stuttered something that Jonghyun couldn't understand.

"W-What did you say?" He asked and tried to stop his fast beating heart that hammered against his chest as he saw that the younger was biting his lip.

The adorable blush on his cheeks didn't help either and Jonghyun again tried his hardest to keep calm at the cuteness of the other.

"I-I said I'm fine. Thank you for catching me." Kibum mumbled and looked away to hide his embarrassment.

"God, I'm never going to survive if he's always so cute."

A loud bark startled the both of them and they quickly stood up.

Roo was walking out of Jonghyuns room and looked curious at the two blushing males in front her.

"I-I should go. Taemin is waiting for me." Kibum said and quickly ran to the front door and closed it behind him before Jonghyun could even utter a single word.


~ End of Flashback ~


Kibum blushed furiously and hid his face in his hands.

He let out a groan and punched the pillow next to him.

He was so confused. Why was he acting like this around Jonghyun?

Why was he always so nervous when the older was so close to him?

But most of all, why would his heart don't stop beating so hard in his chest when he thought about that stupid dino?
