Key’s POV

Getting home today felt rather strange. What was that that kept me thinking about him? Why did he feel so familiar, yet still like a stranger? Thinking about this was a waste of time; I better go shower and get some homework in before some sleep. I think that’s what I need right now, a long night sleep.

That night, I dreamt of a peculiar dream. I was in bed with someone. Who was it? I was laying in their tight embrace while that person enveloped me in his strong hold. His broad shoulders sheltered me and protected me from all my hardships of life. I felt him trickling kisses down my back. Wait I’m now? “Kibum, I love you. You know that right?” His voice was so husky, low but felt overwhelmingly soft. Who was it? I turned my head, still lying on his chest I looked up. “I love you too...” I whispered, turning my face away from him.

Love...

Who was I talking to? I wanted to find out. Lifting my head of his chest he leaned over from above looking down into my eyes. He leaned in further, I could feel tear drops, so warm it felt so sad “Would you still love me if I...” Ughhh it’s too bright, what time is it? Looking around the room, I had realized it was all just a dream. Wait, what was that dream again? Damn... can’t remember.  I looked at the clock to notice how early it actually was, 5:30am. Not enough sleep. I’ll just take a long shower. So while getting the clothes to wear for today, I just couldn’t help trying to recall my dream. It felt weird, yet there was a sensation to it. I layed the clothes on my bed and walked to the bathroom with my towel. I took at least an hour to shower due to the fact that I had woken too early and had nothing better to do. I’m sure I looked like a prune.  Usually, I don’t eat breakfast but since I had plenty of time I decided to grab something before heading off.  Walking to the kitchen in the early mornings felt different, I hardly ever enter the kitchen, let alone in the mornings. Once entering, I found several post-it notes on the table.

Honey,

Moms staying overnight at the office tonight, remember to eat dinner.

Kibum honey,

There’s going to be a meeting today so mum isn’t going home. Mum told the maid to bake you something sweet since you love sweets.

Kibummie,

Mom’s sorry for not coming home; I’ll be going on a trip for a week. Look after the house for me, neh?

Huh... funny how these notes dated back so far and I’ve never noticed. No one even bothers to bin it either huh? I took all the notes not even bothering to continue reading and threw them in the bin. Who would believe that this lady stays out at night for work? She’s probably with her man-. You’re wondering why I detest my mother so much, right? The reason, and the only reason I need is because she left my father who worked so hard for this family. She came back after her man had enough of her. My mother is intelligent and a beauty. She has steady employment but her only flaw is that she’s so easily persuaded which led to our family’s separation. I hate her weak side that reminded me so much of myself, maybe that’s why deep down... Oh just forget it.

Not thinking about it now, I looked around the kitchen and snatched an apple on the table. An apple a day surely keeps the doctors away, right? Well, let’s just hope so. I walked out of the kitchen and left for school. The weather outside felt nice and calm, I think I could get used to this every morning. Crossing streets and waiting for traffic lights I had reached the school gates. And just like usual, I entered class and sat at the very back seat and waiting for the day to pass. And not long until I noticed that it was end of lesson and change of classes. I had music in the afternoons with Mrs Jung’s class and I had to admit, that was one of my favourite classes. Nice teachers and they allow self study so I don’t even need to be in class. It had something to do with students being able to get inspired more outside the classroom. Not that I’m complaining or anything, it’s actually quite beneficial to us.

So when Mrs. Jung’s class came I was excitedly going to my classroom and upon arriving I noticed how many people there were. Somehow the students looked different. Maybe I stepped in the wrong class, which would be really embarrassing. Stepping back out to look at the sign, I was absolutely sure this was my class. Finding an empty seat Mrs Jung walked in accompanied by a third year teacher, Mr Goo. Ahhh~ it must be a joint class today has nothing to do with me. Well that was what I thought until Mrs Jung had told the class...

“Class, today as you can see... there is a joint class with the second and third year students. One second year and one third year would make a pair and they would have to compose a song that goes with the disc of music they pick from this box,” she stated holding up a box and shaking it. Mr Goo continued on “Pairs have already been picked by both your teacher and I, and the song that we believe is the best would be played at next month’s school talent show. I’m sure everyone here would want your song played because each year entertainment agencies come to our school to scout out talents. This is definitely a golden opportunity.”

That’s only the beginning of my problem. While trying to listen to the teacher’s explanation, a noisy group at the back just couldn’t keep it down. Reading out the list of pairing my name was finally called. “Second year Kim Kibum and third year Kim Jonghyun,” I looked around trying to search for that Jonghyun when the guy from the noisy group of kids smirks at me. Oh no... Please don’t make it him, please don’t! I guess god really does know how to tease people. It just had to be him. Walking towards my seat, he took a seat out and sat next to me. Feeling awkward, I turned away from him only to feel him burning holes in my head from his intense staring. I couldn’t help but blush but kept my cool. I turned around and asked him “Excuse me. Didn’t your mother ever teach you that staring is rude?” he didn’t look phased as he continued staring. “You’re really pretty. I thought the rumours about you were exaggerated because how can a guy be pretty. But I guess I was completely wrong. You are pretty,” he stated as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “Do you know who I am?” he asked and I just had to scoff. “The teacher did say Kim Jonghyun, but if I’m wrong then I guess you’re not my partner and you should leave.” He pouted and sighed. “I am Kim Jonghyun, but don’t you know me? I...” Seriously, can this guy get any more annoying? I stood up from my seat, and walked out and him following behind me like a puppy.

Jonghyun’s POV

At the beginning I only stared at him for fun since the guys were always talking about second year Kim Kibum. I didn’t even know why they always talked about him. He was quiet, too quiet for my liking. But being up close to him was different. He wasn’t the cold prince people talked about, wait scratch that... he definitely is a cold prince. He was indeed pretty like the rumours. White skin adorn by a pink tint. Wait, wait, wait... did he become embarrassed because of me? I couldn’t help that my smile grew until he broke my daydreaming. “Excuse me. Didn’t your mother ever teach you that staring is rude?” The air around him changed to a challenging one, in which I had no plan of losing. But what slipped from my mouth was something I didn’t want to say out loud at all. “You’re really pretty. I thought the rumours about you were exaggerated because how can a guy be pretty. But I guess I was completely wrong. You are pretty” I continued “Do you know who I am?” I heard a scoff, followed by a diva attitude while replying “The teacher did say Kim Jonghyun, but if I’m wrong then I guess you’re not my partner and you should leave.” I couldn’t help but pout at his answer and sigh at his no reaction. Most girls would have fallen for my pout and puppy eyes ages ago. He was different, and this differences lured me in. “I am Kim Jonghyun, but don’t you know me? I...” I nearly screamed but when he left his seat I couldn’t help but follow.
