Little Castle

Just Friends

Jonghyun POV



After lunch, we all went back to the tents to grab stuff for the beach. (Key was the only one that actually needed to get dressed) Then we all headed toward the beach and set up a spot on the rocky shore. First Onew laid his towel down, and then Taemin laid his to the left of Onew's; followed be Minho, Key, and lastly me furthest on the left.
Overly excited, Onew took off his shirt and ran into the water; diving in once deep enough. The water appeared to have a steep slope leading from shallow water to ocean deep water in just a few steps.
Taemin lay down on his towel angling his body so he could use Minho as shade for his face. Minho on the other hand was sitting up watching Onew flail around in the water with amusement. Key draped a towel over his head blocking the sun as he leans forward playing with the rocks. I couldn't help but reach my hand over and glide it down Key's exposed spine.
"Nya~" Key gasped arching his back forward before quickly looking at me with a light blush.
"So sensitive," slowly, I retract me hand with a big smile plastered on my face.
"You know I am Yeobo." He borderline whined moving the towel from his head to his exposed back.
My smile changed to a playful frown as I tugged lightly on his towel. "I'm sorry Yeobo, but you know I can't help myself." I loved when we played the roles of a married couple.
Key smacked my hand away, tightening the towel around himself. I just whined in response giving up and turning my attention away from Key.
As I also watched Onew swim around in the huge lake Key began to play with the rocks again.
"Hey Jonghyun-hyung," Key kept his eyes glued to the rocks as he began to stack them. "We should try to build a rock castle."
"A what?" I gave him a strange look confused at what he said.
"A rock castle. You know, like a sand castle but since its rocks not sand I called it a rock castle."
A smile was the only way I could respond to his cute suggestion. Without words I joined Key in stacking small rock on top of slightly bigger ones, until I found a really cute baby seashell.
"Look Key-goon." He looked up as I handed him the shell.
"Agiyo, Jjong it's so pretty and cute." His face seemed to light up with joy at the cute shell.
"Just like my Yeobo~" in almost a whisper, I glance over at Key as the flirtatious words were playfully spoken.
There was a clear blush that spread across his cheeks, unable to respond he puts the baby shell onto of the top rock.
"It's the finishing touch." happily I clap my hands together once as our (failure) rock castle was now complete.
"That's too small." I hear Key complain taking a look at the little "castle".
"There is nothing wrong with being small." I pouted think of my height, Key just laughed and looked out at the lake.
"Where did Onew-hyung go?"
Just then Onew appeared from the water covered in seaweed, he looked like a monster. He walked onto shore like a zombie toward his own towel.
"Hyung you look like a seaweed monster." Minho began laughing as Onew stopped in front of his towel pulling off some seaweed.
Me, Key and Minho observed as Onew dropped tons of seaweed all over poor, unsuspecting Taemin with a big grin.
"Gahh!" Taemin shot up in a panic throwing seaweed everywhere. "Hyung! Why would you do that?"
Key picked up a small rock and through it at Onew protectively, "Go back to the water monster, and leave my baby Taemin alone!" he borderline scolded our group leader like the protective umma he was.
Onew grabbed the remaining seaweed on himself and attempted to throw it at Key in retaliation, but wound up throwing it at Minho.
"Thanks for that." Minho swatted away the seaweed with little care.
"Ahahaha! You missed!" Key pointed at Onew as he laughed at our leader's failed attempt.
"I still feel like there's seaweed all over me~" Taemin whined with a disgusted look.
"Then go wash off in the lake." I suggested with a shrug.
With understanding looks and nods in agreement, Minho and Onew moved into action at the same time toward Taemin. They both picked him up, bringing him to the water and throwing him in. It was a funny scene seeing Taemin get thrown into the water and then prevented from leaving the water.
"Poor Taemin." With a chuckle I lean back on my towel, closing my eyes feeling the warm sun on my skin.
"He deserves it sometimes. I think we let him get away with too much sometimes." Key stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Yeobo you're too hard on our son sometimes." Smirking, I open an eye glancing over at Key seeing him shrug in response.
Suddenly he stood up and looked down at me. "I'll be right back. Stay here okay?"
"Where are you going?"
He paused to think for a minute before walking away, "Just stay there."
Though curiosity coursed through my entire being I was way too lazy to do anything about it, so I just laid down draping my right arm over my eyes and soak in the sun. All sounds slowly fading away like background music as I drifted off to a dark, calming place. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know, someone’s soft fingers were gliding along my jaw line and down my neck. "Hmm?" I hum in response not wanting to open my eyes just yet.
"Hyung wake up." a soft voice spoke as the hand now brushed my bangs out of my (closed) eyes.
Slowly my eyelids open until I could see that Key's adorable, feline face was hovering over mine.
...did I just say adorable...?
"I brought you something so that you can also enjoy the water while keeping you foot dry." he moved out of my site so I sat up to see Key picking up a big bed like float.
"Am I supposed to just lay on it and float around? What if I float away and something eats me." Sarcastically, I begin to sound like Key when he over reacts. He just stared at me with the diva glare of his which instantly shut me up. "Thank you for thinking about me Key-goon." Trying to not anger Key I lean forward and drape my arms around his neck, my head resting on one of his shoulders.
"Let's go swim, it's getting hot out." Key waved his hand like a fan trying to create a breeze.
"That's just because I'm on you," a smirk forms on my face as I lift my head to look at him. Key just rolled his eyes as he stood up out of my grasp. "Hehe you didn't deny it."
"Do you want to swim or not?" he folded his arms over his chest and lean to the left (his hip sticking out).
Nodding I shift so that it's easy for me to get up without hurting my foot. "So how are we doing this?"
Key picked up the float and walked over to the water (dropping it down half on land and half in the water). "Just come over here and lay down."
Rather than think of a witty comeback I just do as told, hurrying over to the float and laying on it. Once I stopped shifting around (after finally getting comfortable) Key bent down, grabbing the front of the float, and pulling me into the water with it. It didn't take long before the water was deep enough to reach Key's shoulders. The water was crystal clear making it easy to see the bottom and all the pretty creatures in it. It shined beautifully along Key's perfect collar bones. Urges to bite and tease his them course through my body; thinking of inappropriate things to follow if I acted on my thoughts.
"Jonghyun-hyung?" his voice snapped me out of my trans.
"Hm?" I glance up at Key.
"You're biting your lip." he stated, looking towards my lips, making me realize that what he said was true. Quickly I release my lower lip from my teeth and smile at him.
"O-oh I am?... It's just a-uh habit."
Key stared at me with an almost knowing look as he began to shake his head. "I don't think I want to know what you were thinking of."
"Yeah...I don't think so ether." whispering under my breath I smile awkwardly before staring down at the water.
What was with those thoughts anyway...? I've never thought like that about Key before...why now?

Surprisingly we were in the water for about a half hour before Key decided that Taemin shouldn't be left alone for too long. (I hadn't even noticed the others were gone. Plus I don't think Taemin was alone considering he was probably with the others) so we got out of the water, dried off and headed back to the campsite. Taemin and Minho were both sitting on the wall, their legs dangling over the edge, facing out towards the water talking. Onew on the other hand was nowhere to be seen (though his tent was closed so he was probably sleeping).
Key began to walk over to Taemin and Minho mumbling about how unsafe it was to sit on the wall or something like that. I just sat down on a chair and chuckled with a shake of my head. Sometimes Key was just too much, no wonder Taemin rebels a lot.
Quietly I observed as Key began to talk in what appeared to be a panicked manner at both Minho and Taemin. But by the way they weren't annoyed looking I don't believe he was scolding them that it was "unsafe to sit on the ledge" or something like that. As I continue to watch I notice that Taemin keeps glancing over to look at me every time Key appears to explain something.
Why does he keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?
I check as much of myself possible finding that nothing was out of place ore strange on me. So then why does Taemin keep looking at me? Maybe he wants me to go over there. Or maybe they're talking about me!
Instantly I'm on my feet at this thought and am at Key's side in a second.
"So...What are you guys talking about?" my eyes going back and forth between Taemin and Minho as I rest my arm on Keys shoulder.
"Oh n-nothing special," Taemin shook his head slightly looking sort of nervous, or surprised.
"Really?" I raise an eyebrow unconvinced.
"Yeah, Key yelled at us for being unsafe so I told him to calm down and now here you are." Minho stated with a straight face. (But he's good at acting so who knows if he's tell the truth)
"Is this true, Key?" still unconvinced I question Key, looking straight into his eyes.
He seemed to be frozen in my gaze, thinking about his response. Finally rolling his bright orbs to break our eye contact he folds his arms and responds to my question. "What else would we be talking about? You?" he scoffed looking away, "Someone's conceded."
Pouting I try to justify my questioning, “No it's just that Taemin kept looking over at me every time you started talking so it seems suspicious."
"Ri-ght, blame Taemin." Key sounded like he didn't believe me.
I'm not conceded...why would he think in such a way?

Chapter 14: YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WRITE A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plot suggestion: Jonghyun could be continually struggling with his feelings for Key, and in the meantime, he gets a girlfriend (I know you said they aren't allowed one, but you could make it for publicity or something). While he's with his girlfriend, he keeps thinking of Key and how this affects Key and how Key feels. Key is obviously heartbroken and is sick of being in love with Jonghyun because he knows (or thinks) that Jjong doesnt like him like that. So Key gets a boyfriend, but he treats Key like crap but Key doesn't tell anyone and just tells them that he's happy. Jonghyun now knows that he likes Key as more than a friend, but thinks that Key is happy. Jonghyun's girlfriend notices things and realizes that Jonghyun is in love Key and breaks up with him. Jonghyun thanks her and goes to find Key, and finds his boyfriend being horrible (abusing//yelling/beating, whatever)to Key. Jonghyun saves him, gets Key's now ex-boyfriend arrested, and then confesses to Key. Then they have and live happily ever after.
Just a suggestion :)
But I do absolutely love this story even if it made me cry!!
