Slowly Towards You

The Thin Line Between You and Him

Na Na's POV

It's Saturday and I officially declare myself kidnapped. Jonghyun passed that test yesterday with a perfect score and I really believe that this was some sort of joke. Jonghyun must have somehoe guess every questions right or he was smart all along.

And then my sleep was rudely interrupted with Jonghyun this morning.

"WAKIE WAKIE!!!" Jonghyun yelled as he jumped on my bed. It's not a very big bed so imagine the annoyance I must be feeling right now.

"STOP!" I told him with annoyance.

I guess Jonghyun got the message because his annoying jumping stopped. I smiled and closed my eyes. I'll deal with him after I get my sleep.

Nudge

Annoying Jonghyun. Why can't he leave? Ugh. I closed my eyes and ignored him.

...Nudge

I tsked and shook a little, signaling him to stop it. I closed my eyes again after Jonghyun stopped his stupidity. I was finally able to enjoy the peace but he began doing that thing again.

...Nudge

I groaned and sat up. I glared at him and threw my pillow at him.

"Wae? Wae? WAE? WAE? WAE?" I asked yelled.

"Mianh… But come onnnnn! Let's go!"

He is such a child.

I tsked and got up knowing he wouldn't stop. I walked into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. Knowing him, he'd have that stupid smirk slapped on him face right now. How I wish I could just slap his face.

I walked into my room and saw Jonghyun lying on my bed putting something together?  It looked like two phones-one of which was MINE!

"Yah!" I yelled and pulled my phone away from him.

"I was just admiring our matching charms." Jonghyun stated in such a way that made me rolled my eyes.

"You're such a dork." I told him.

"Well you kept it! You like me so that's why you kept it. Am I right? I'm right, right?"

I signed and pulled him up from my bed and pushed him out of my room.

"You're not answering so I must be right!" Jonghyun decided after I slammed the door in his face. I looked at the phone in my hand. The charm's pretty. That's why I kept it…

I shook my head deciding to stop thinking about it. I went to my closet and changed. After, I went downstairs to find Jonghyun was on my couch, watching TV. He looked very into the show so I sat down next to him.

"Let's got there!" Jonghyun asked and pointed to the TV. I looked at the TV to see what he was talking about. It was a variety show where 2 celebrities were on a date. They were in a amusement park. Lotte world?

The last time I went was such a long time ago… Why not? I nodded and Jonghyun smiled. I chuckled and got up. Jonghyun have probably never seen an amusement park before.

I've learned from Khun that kids like them never had time to grow up-have a childhood. They're always doing what their parents want-which is usually prepare for the legacy that's been passed down. Looking at Jonghyun, he looked like a kid. Jonghyun never had a childhood, so maybe that's why he acts like a child around me.

Well, we can be kids together today. I haven't had fun in a while.

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

Jonghyun's POV

The rides, the food, the games, just everything was fun. The day was simply amazing. I can't believe I've never been here before. Should definitely tell shinee about this. I look around and saw bunch of families around and I couldn’t help but feel envious. But that's okay. I have Na Na. We played till the sun went down and now we were walking around. I looked at Na Na and saw her smiling too.

Something caught my eyes. It was another game. It was a basketball one. I pulled Na Na with me to the booth. She knew I wanted to play so she paid for me. I wanted to pay for the entire day but couldn't. They didn’t accept credit cards here expect in the ticket booth and food places so I couldn't pay. I didn’t carry bills smaller than 100,000 won. They would always refused to take it too saying they didn’t have change back. I was going to tell them to keep the change but Na Na paid instead.

I played basketball real life with Minho all the time so this should be a peace of cake, right? I picked up the ball and tried to shoot, expecting to make it in the first try.  Wrong. I lost. I was given a couple of tries but it was hard. The thing kept moving. I pouted. I wanted to get Na Na that big stuffed dinosaur. I remembered her calling me that the first time I met her. 

"It's okay, you know. People never wins on these kinds of games." Na Na told me. That didn’t make me feel any better. I'm not just any person. I'm Kim Jonghyun!

Na Na saw the girls bathroom and told me to wait for her here. Perfect. I went to that booth and pulled out my wallet.

"Hey. You! I would like to buy that green dinosaur there." I told that guy that was working there pointing to the dinosaur.

"I'm sorry sir but that's not allo-" That guy tried to tell me but shut up when I gave him a couple 100,000 won. I smiled as he gave it to me and went back the spot where Na Na told me to wait. After standing there for a little while I saw Na Na came running. I smiled and hid the dinosaur behind my back.

"Mianh. You waited long right? There were so many people in there." Na Na said while she tried to catch her breath.

"Gwenchana. You didn’t have to run. I kept myself occupied."

Na Na gave me a confused look and showed her the green dinosaur.

"H-how did you manage to get it?"

"I'm Kim Jonghyun, I can do anything. And this is for you." I told her and smiled. She took the dinosaur and hugged it. 

"I like this mini-Jonghyun very much. Thank you!" Na Na said and smiled brightly. I chuckled and I'll let her make fun of my dinosaur-like face just for today. I looked at Na Na and she seemed quite fond of the thing. We kept walking and I saw a Ferris Wheel, the ones that looked like those in movies and dramas. I pulled Na Na's arm.

"Let's go on that!"

"Let's not. I-I'm hungry. Let's go get food. Yeah. That sounds good. Food. Come on!"

"Na Naaaa. We ate not that long ago. Come onnnnnn." I wined and pouted.

"Go by yourself then!"

I think I know why she's acting like this.

"Aw. Is Na Na scared?" I asked her.

"No!"

"Liar. Let's go! You weren't scared on the rides we went on today!"

"It's not that!"

"Then what is it?"

"Khun."

My smiled turned into a frown the second she said his name.

"What about him?" I asked with a frown. Na Na looked down and sighed.

"The Farris Wheel was-it was… it was the first place he told me h-he loved me."

We stayed silent for a little while. Na Na shouldn't think of Khun when she sees a Farris Wheel. I want her to think of me. I'm better than him. Right? Right! I feel sour… I tried to shake that bad feeling away and smiled.

"More reasons to do it." I told her and grabbed her hand and dragged her to the Farris Wheel. Stupid Thai guy. Way to ruin the mood. We got in and I looked at Na Na, and her sad face was one I didn't like seeing. I signed and put my arms around her.

I put her head on my shoulder and mine on hers. The ride started going and we stayed quiet. I saw Na Na hugged the dinosaur tighter. I didn’t know what else to do so I started singing. After I was done, we stayed quiet.

"Khun sings to me too" Na Na said breaking the silence.

"Of course he did. But I'm better."

"You are." Na Na nodded and said quietly, making feel stranger than ever.

Why does that Thai guy have to be such a good boyfriend? Na Na's gonna have a harder time moving on now. I hope Na Na does move on soon. I don’t like seeing her sad. But at the end, I'm better. Na Na said it herself. The ride was done and we got out. I made a joke trying to lighten the mood and Na Na laughed a little. It didn't make any sense but Na Na laughed. It was about a chicken and how Onew ate it.

"That was so stupid!" Na Na laughed again.

"No it wasn't. It was funny. I'm funny." I told her as-a-matter-of-factly. Na Na rolled her eyes and we continued walking.

We walked in silence for a little. I saw some ice cream and I knew Na Na wants some.

"Na Na! Let's-" I stopped what I was saying when I realized she wasn't there. I looked around and only saw a bunch of unfamiliar people.

Aish! This thoughtless girl!  I pulled out my phone and called her.

"YAH!" I yelled as soon as I heard her pick up "WHERE DID YOU GO?!?"

I heard Na Na sniffle a little before answering.

"I'm sorry. I-"

"A-are you crying?"

"No. I'm just cold."

"You're a terrible liar! Wait for me!"

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

Na Na's POV

I told Jonghyun where I was and he told me to stay until he gets there. I stayed on the bench and sobbed. I was suppose to move on! Why am I always leaking these stupid tears? Do they not run out?!? I angrily wipe my tears again. I hugged the dinosaur tighter and put my face in it.

"Didn't I tell you to not cry alone?"

I looked up and saw Jonghyun with two ice cream in hands. He smiled and took the seat next to me. Jonghyun handed me the ice cream and smiled.

Mint chocolate chip. He remembered. I laughed a little. Jonghyun wiped my tears with his hand and then took a bite from my ice cream.

"Yah! You have your own." I said while he just smirked and took another bite. Jonghyun stuck out his tongue.

"What happened?" Jonghyun asked after a while of silence.

"I saw him… Khun. With Victoria. On the line for the Farris Wheel. The place where he told me he loved me." I laughed ironically at how me and Khun are here at the same time but with different people.

"Ahhh!" Jonghyun said opening his moth wide, motioning me to do the same.

"What-" I was interrupted when Jonghyun shoved his ice cream in my mouth. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Wha, I'm getting good at this!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Comforting you."

"Shoving food in my face is comforting?"

"You laughed!"

I laughed again. I sniffled before taking a bite of the ice cream.

"I think I know what'll make you feel better!" Jonghyun said and grabbed my hand. I almost dropped the dinosaur when Jonghyun started pulling me like that.

We left the park and he started driving. Jonghyun kept looking at me and smiled. I feel better with Jonghyun around.

Jonghyun told me about random stories to help me feel better. I couldn't help but laugh. You know how children sometimes have a blanket or toy they carry around when they were little? Apparently, Key carried a mini bullhorn around when he was little. Key didn’t stop carrying the thing around until middle school. When they were exploring one day, Key noticed a cat. Key started screaming at it claiming it should make way for the almighty Key. The cat on the street was bothered by the noise and it almost attacked Key. Luckily they ran away. Key still uses the thing sometimes but he was too scared to carry it in public now. Haha.

I looked out the window and saw a familiar place. His apartment?

"Yah, ert! This is suppose to make me feel better?" I asked when he drove into the parking lot the apartment have.

"Yah? What's with your weird attitude. Your obviously the ert! I wasn't even thinking of stuff like that! Let's go!" Jonghyun said as he parked the car.

What does this ert think he's doing? I stayed in the car not believing him. What other reason could be possibly have bring me to his apartment, where he lived alone! Jonghyun opened the door for me while I just  held onto the dinosaur tighter stubbornly. I heard Jonghyun sigh.

"You stayed at my place last time and I didn’t do anything! I'm hurt. You can't trust me?" Jonghyun said after the moment of silence.

I pouted. Jonghyun have been a good guy. I decided to get out of the car and hugged the dinosaur even tighter.

"And I'm the child." Jonghyun commented. I gave him a look and he rolled his eyes. He took my hands and we went to the elevator. Jonghyun went to the level where his apartment was located, the highest level, and we waited. After we got up, Jonghyun walked behind me and covered my eyes.

"Y-yah! Bwoh-"

"I'm not gonna do anything! It's a surprise." Jonghyun said interrupting me. I felt Jonghyun walking so I did too. I couldn’t see anything since his hands were still there so you can imagine how suspicious I must feel.

"Be careful arraso? We're going up the stairs." Jonghyun warned. Stairs? I heard a door opening then felt the stairs. I carefully walked up with Jonghyun's guidance. I began to feel colder as we went up higher. I tried to use the dinosaur for warmth.

Jonghyun then let go of his hands. I opened my eyes and was greeted with a very beautiful view of Seoul.  

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

Jonghyun's POV

Hehe. I'm glad Na Na enjoy my secret getaway place I discovered when I bought this apartment. Only me and the rest of shinee knows about it. I also bought this place along with my apartment. It's locked and only I have the key. It probably isn't allowed, but it is if your name is Kim Jonghyun. No one is allowed up here except however I allow. Call me selfish but finders keepers.

I got Na Na to make some ramen and we ate up here. I bought some yesterday but didn't know what to do with it. We were sitting against this wall thing with a blanket keeping us warm. Also mini-Jonghyun was in between us wrapped in the blanket also.

"Do you feel better?" I asked Na Na who was looking up at the skies.

"Definitely. Pretty skies help me think."

"But there aren't even any stars." I told her and looked up. I thought the view was pretty, but the sky?

"Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there." Na Na replied without taking her eyes off the sky. I smiled slightly at her reply. I turned to look at Na Na again and noticed how especially pretty she was looking up like that. Na Na looked at me and I quickly turned away coughing awkwardly.

"So what were you thinking?" I asked after the awkward coughs. Na Na didn't say anything and looked down. Na Na smiled this sad smile I hated seeing.

"Khun" Na Na simply replied.

She's always thinking about that guy. I felt a slight ping in my heart. I hated seeing her like this. Because she's a friend, and friends don’t like seeing friends hurt. Friend...

Chapter 51: I'm kinda sad that you just ended the story like that but I'm pretty sure they got married and had beautiful babies. When I read the part where Jonghyun proposed to NaNa, G.O's 'play that song' started to play on my phone making it more romantic. XD

Chapter 50: this freaking story gives me way to much feels: I got angry, sad, cried my life, was extremely happy to the point my cheeks were burning, and I feel this is near the end or so, but I do feel.. accomplished? Being human and having feelings truly is something awesome, and even if I might sound weird and nobody understands what I'm saying, I don't care 'cause that's what I feel. :3 thank you!
