First steps


Key's POV


Everything was new, bright and colorful around me and I couldn't help but stare at everything. The scents, the lights, everything swirled in front of my eyes and I was eager to touch as many things as I could. Is this the real world? I asked myself. I want to experience it!
" J-Jonghyun-hyung...?" I asked sheepishly, grabbing the fluffy blanket that he had given me. The things that I was laid on, bed, as Jonghyun called it, happened to be much more comfortable than the table I sat before. I jumped into the fluffy mess of the blankets and rolled a few times before I settled in.
" Yes?" His eyes twinkled with something I couldn't really understand.
" My tummy is making funny noises." It was true and at first I got scared because of the sounds but then I realized that they were coming from me...
" Oh, are you hungry?" His face was very handsome with this half-smile and of course, I knew what he said. He taught me some basic things before.
" Y-yup, I'm hungry."
" Then we should go to the kitchen and cook something for dinner." He offered his hand to me and I gladly accepted it, hopping out of the soft heaven and taking hesitant steps with his help. My legs... were a little bit wobbly to tell the truth. I wasn't still used to the walking. 
But Jonghyun wasn't impatient, he just wrapped his muscular arm around my waist to save me from falling and guided me toward his kitchen.
" Very good! You learn very fast, Key!"
" Hey, I'm not dumb. " I muttered, trying to hide the blush that his compliment had caused, I felt happy that he was proud of me.
" I know, I know, you're perfect."
He kept saying this ever since I woke up but I didn't understand why. I wasn't perfect, was I? So confusing...

As we stepped into the cozy kitchen, I let go of his hand confidently and sat down on a chair without his help.
" So, what are you going to cook?" 
" I dunno." He gave me a mishievous smile. " What do you want to eat?"
" Mmmm, maybe scrambled eggs?" That was one of the first meals I've ever tasted and I immediately grew a liking toward it.
" As I know, it's supposed to be for breakfast, not for dinner."
" I don't care. I want scrambled eggs!" I pouted in an adorable way, knowing he couldn't resist me. Hehe, I had a charm and I noticed that it has a huge effect on him. Although I promised to myself that I won't take an advantage on it.
" Ahhh, baby, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil you..." He laughed, but of course, started to make scrambled eggs. Yes, I won again!
" It's no problem, I don't mind it." I shrugged, following the patterns of the tablecloth with my forefinger to pass the time. 
" You don't but it's not good. But I can't help, I want you to be happy..." His voice became soft with the second sentence and my heart melted too.
" Jjong-hyung?" I liked to give him nicknames. Jonghyun is a nice name, but long and hard to pair with the 'hyung' word so I often used my creativity when it came to calling him.
"Yeah?"
"How old am I?" It was a little bit awkward that I didn't know but up to now, I was busy to experience, I forgot this little thing.
"Your body is twenty years old. You're a year younger than me."
"Good." This answer - I didn't know why - but made me so happy. Jonghyun was strong, nice, caring and a year older. With him, I had nothing to be afraid and I knew it for sure.
Is there anybody else in this house? I hadn' met anyone except him, but it was possible that there were other dolls like me... he's a dollmaker, after all! I thought and I couldn't help but my heart clenched at this possibility. I felt special, loved around Jonghyun and I don't want him to act like he acts with me with anybody else! He's mine, that's the truth. I sounded quite selfish, I admit it.
"The scrambled eggs are ready to be eaten!" My Jonghyun said in a singsong voice, putting two plates in the table and taking out forks. " But be careful, maybe it's still a little bit hot."
"Sure, I'm a big boy." I grabbed my fork and started to dig in, it seemed so delicious, I couldn't wait. " Owwww!" I almost immediately dropped the fork and felt my eyes get watery because of the pain. It burned my tongue...
" Key-ah, I said that it might be hot. Aish..." He grumbled disapporingly but handed me a glass of cold water, his face showing nothing but pure concern.
" Thank you." I quickly gulped it down, easing the burning pain on my poor tongue.
" Are you okay?" His beautiful eyes shone with amusement but there was something else that I couldn't define. He mentioned a strange word before, the worry...
I nodded and stuck out my tongue, searching for any damages. It was a little bit red in one point, but nothing serious, I was relieved.
" Key-ah, it's not nice. If you stick out your tongue, somebody will bite it..." He winked at my embarassment as I withdrawn my tongue in panic, afraid that somebody can appear out of nowhere and hurt me.
" Haha, I was joking! I won't let anybody hurt you. But seriously, it's indecent."
" It wasn't funny." But I think I'd been happy if he had bitten my tongue... Okay, what's up with these strange thoughts?! I think my brain has some problems.
" You have to blow your food if you want it to cool down a little bit." He did as he said and I couldn't help but giggle on his blowing face, it was a really funny sight.
" Hey, what are you laughing?"
" Nothing!" I put on my most innocent face.
" I'm trying to save you from another burning incident, please be serious!" He hissed playfully.
" Yes, master!" I clasped my mouth with my hand, trying to be serious and holding my laughter.
" Here, it's good now, you can eat it."
" Thank you very much, Jjongie-hyung." I smiled before I munched on my cooled down food. " Hmmm, it's very yummy!"
" Thanks, I tried to do my best to enthrall you with my cooking skills." His dinosaur-like cheeckbones were painted with a slight red colour. Oh?
" It succeed." I nodded to him and we finished our dinner in a peaceful silence.

Jonghyun's POV


" J-Jjongie-hyung..." There was a shy knock on my door as my head touched the pillow and I felt slightly annoyed. We both had a long day.
" What's the problem, Key-ah? Go and sleep, it's really late now." I yawned, trying not to sound too harsh. 
" I c-can't sleep in my bed. Something is buzzing in the room!" He was extremely cute, standing in the door, rubbing his tired eyes. Plus, the loose pj he wore just added to his cuteness. The annoying feeling immediately disappeared as I realized the situation's seriousness on his side.
" Buzzing?" I squinted my eyes, already knowing his problem.
" Yeah, it's very annoying. It's buzzing and flying..."
" Maybe it's a mosquito. Did you close your door after you came out?"
" Of course." He stiffled a yawn and took some hesitant steps toward my bed. He looked like he could fall asleep right there and then.
" Then okay, the mosquito can't get out. In the morning, we will hunt it..." I couldn't help but yawn again and patted the other side of my bed, inviting him there. I hope it won't be awkward. " Come on, you can sleep here tonight."
" Really? Thanks, Jjong-hyung." His beautiful face was full of happiness as he laid down next to me and scooted closer. The soft strands of his hair tickled my skin but it was a really pleasant feeling, I loosely wrapped my arms around his thin frame. " Good night."
"Sleep well, Key-ah."  

His calm breathing was the only noise in the room when the thought formed in my mind: It would be nice, falling asleep every night like this.

Chapter 5: Umm..maybe it would be easier for you to start anew, with same or similar storyline but with much better improved writingstyle as you are right now..that's just my opinion, I think maybe you'd feel more refreshed than corrwcting this one..^-^
