“AH!”

Kibum woke up with a squeal, panting hard. Tiny drops of sweat were rolling down his forehead and into the pillow which was already wet. Noticing that he frowned and sat up. He manage to finally regulate his breathing but still his head felt dizzy from the effort. It kinda hurt.

A quick glance out of the window told Kibum it was dark outside. And no wonder since the clock on the wall showed 4 o`clock. It seemed he had woken up in the middle of the night. Great!

Lying back down, not really caring about the moist sheets anymore, he closed his eyes in frustration thinking about the dream that caused all that. It stayed blurry in his mind, only separated pictured. Usually Kibum didn’t pay attention of something like dreams, if not something else remembering them causes more stress to the body. This time however was a little different. He just knew the dream will haunt him. Yeah, even if he doesn’t remember it! It may contains just imagines without a real link between but Kibum clearly could remember that one face presented in all of them. It had round eyes, stupid smile and looked like a dinosaur’s.

He wanted to erase it from his memory so he tried to trampled it down and toss it away. Except you can’t do that with something you don’t really remember.

Kibum sighed and brought the blanked up to his face trying to keep his body warm despite the cold night air pushing in trough the opened window. He stared at the full moon outside thinking about the past.

After Jonghyun left …

After he left …

Honestly it was hard for Kibum to determine the way he felt after his almost-lover left him.

Oh, he was angry, everyone around him could tell you that. He was practically fuming several days after their quarrel. But it was more for Taemin, the things he said to him, the things which were basically the reason for the whole matter to blow up.

About himlef he wasn't so sure. Shouldn’t he be offended by the things Jonghyun said? About him being not worthy enough to take care of a child. He should be mad, right? How come the emotion filling him was not rage. It was pity. And sadness. He couldn’t help but think about the time he glanced into the other’s eyes that evening. When he saw them in so much pain that it was overwhelming. Jonghyun’s words were stabbing Jonghyun himself, like they were directed towards him.

Key wanted, really really wanted to be angry, to hate the former kindergarten teacher. He wanted to curse him and never even mention his name. Well, the second thing did happened but it wasn’t because of disdain. More like pain. Again.

Kibum didn’t like that pain. Everything else he sensed was making him stronger. Only with the pain he felt denuded and weak. And this was not appropriate for the position he was in.

When Jinki appeared, two weeks after Jonghyun’s leave it was a breathe of fresh air. The older man was always smiling, chatting happily without a care in the world. He would tell Kibum his dreams, fears, his likings, his hopes for the future like that was the most normal thing in the world – revealing yourself completely in front of someone knows you for a week. But it still crashed down the walls around Kibum. He found himself laughing, accepting dates, talking about himself and even about his problems. He was excited about their plans going to watch a movie or buying clothes together. He even said “yes” when the other asked him to be his boyfriend.

In all honesty, the man didn’t know if it was love. But Chae noona told him he looked happy, Taemin exclaimed how his appa’s eyes were glowing and he caught himself smiling more often, laughing more louder, waking up with anticipation for the day. It was coming so naturally to him.

So of course he didn’t say no when the invitation from Jinki to spent the summer together came. Actually he was more than happy to accept it and go shopping for swim suits.

And now this happen. Almost like a plot from some movie. Him. Here. Again looking good as always.

Kibum didn’t feel right with him near. His heart didn’t feel right. It was confused : Should it skip a breath as before just because of one dazzling smile? Or should it beat faster by the mere thought of him? Should it react at all? Or better not?

“Oh stop it already!”, Key said out loud.  He was starting to talk with himself now. Things weren’t going for the best!

As quietly as he could he sneaked out of his room.

He slept alone in one of the guest rooms. Onew of course offered him sharing his but it was kind of early Kibum thought. So instead of the big main bedroom with french windows looking right to the sea, he settled with the small bed in a room that smelled like dust and old peppers. He didn’t complain!

He went on tip toes in the kitchen intending to grab a midnight snack and calm himself down with it. All these thoughts about the past were making him sick.

However as he walked in he was startled by a figure next to the fridge. It had something big and heavy in its left arm and as the head slowly turned to look at Kibum the latter couldn’t help but scream.

“AAAH!”

Ever since his house back in Daegu was robbed few years ago he was scared of burglars.

With his hands he panicky started searching for a weapon and finally grabbing the kettle he turned around ready for a battle. But the battle didn’t happen.

“K-Kibum…”

The voice sounded familiar. Somehow muffled but still it sounded like~

“Onew?”

The light were  switch on and Key could finally see the scary burglar. Who turned out to be no one else but his lover, currently holding himself really hard not to fall on the ground laughing. His hand squeezed a glass full of milk and his face was red, the eyes nearly teary. Key immediately went red from embarrassment. “HahahHAHAhaha”

“Yah!”, he snapped and seemingly insulted showed the other his back putting his “weapon” back to its rightful place.

“Sorry, sorry”, Jnki panted behind him, “You just … that scream … Oh god … Hahahaha…”

“Onew!”, pouting Key looked at the older man.

He apologized once again before finally managing to stop the laughter. Although there was still a tiny smirk on his lips.

“What are you doing here anyway?”, still upset Kibum asked.

“I woke up with that sudden crave for milk and decided to not deny it.”

“Craving for milk? Really?”

“Mhm!”, with childish satisfied smile Onew nodded.

“You are what? Ten years old?”, mocking in his turn Kibum laughed. It caused the smile to disappear from Onew’s lips. But not for long as he came closer and closer making Key rather uncomfortable. He couldn’t back up because of the counter right behind him so he was helpless as the other leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

“You perfectly know I’m not but if your memory is so short my bed is big enough for the two of us.”

It was intended to be seductive. Kibum perfectly knew it. But the smell of milk the other emitted and the brightly pink pants he was wearing kinda seemed out of place. So much that Key only averted his head giggling.

“You smell like milk.”

“Hah, I guess it didn’t came out as I wanted to.”

Jinki pulled out leaving a space to breathe between them. Noticing the dark circles under his partner's eyes however he reached it and draw his thumbs over.

“Did you have a nightmare, baby?”

“Mmm” Key didn’t want to answer so just shook his head telling him it’s not a big deal. He yawned still yearning for sleep. He forced himself to stay here though. Jinki’s atmosphere was calming him. He wanted to snuggle with the older and just fall asleep in his arms like that.

“Want to sleep with me tonight?”, as if he read his thought Onew asked. Kibum was a little startled with the question so looked up questioningly.

“Well, I don’t mean anything. You just don’t seem so good and it’s better if there’s someone beside you in the room. It okay if you don’t want to, I just thought…you know…”

Key grinned lovingly at the frustrated man before him. How could he be sweet like this he would never know.

“If it’s okay for you…”

“What?”, and so stupid to.

“Aish! I said yes, pabo!”

“Hey!”

“What?”

Onew gave up. It was too much, Key’s innocent eyes.

He decided to redirect the conversation secretly feeling the butterflies in his stomach.

“Was that really Taemin’s kindergarten teacher tonight? At the square?”

“Y-yeah. He quit six months ago.”

“Mhm.”

“His leave was very sudden too”

”To think that’s the mysterious man everyone talks about…”

“Mysterious man?”

“Yeah. I guess you don’t know. Since you are quite mysterious too.”

To that Key just blushed. At least he now knew why great amount of the people he met were staring at him curiously.

“It’s a small town so everybody know each other. If not by name they know the father, mother, second cousin’s girlfriend or whoever might have slightly idea who the person is. So when someone new comes it’s an event. And it seems the man got some good damn business by the sea shore too so it’s even more attractive.”

Kibum nodded in understatement. He didn’t know what else to say. Since Jonghyun wasn’t a comfortable topic for him he just let Onew talk.

“We should go and see him tomorrow. His café is near the house anyway so he would pass him while going to the beach. Taemin seems fond of him too.”

“Yeah, Taemin likes Jonghyun very much.”, Kibum mumbled. The only-trying-to-be-nice Onew wasn’t even suspecting what he was doing with his words.

“Jonghyun? Isn’t his name Jogyun?”

Key looked at the other for a moment. And then he burst into fits of laughter. Onew and his silliness. He was already addicted.

“Silly Dobu.”, he drew near punching the older cheeks still laughing, “Silly, silly and always knows how to make you smile.”

He planted a peck on the others lips. It seemed however they wouldn’t stop with this from the way Jinki’s hands crept to his waist enveloping it and bringing their bodies closer until they crashed into each other. There wasn’t any room to complain though because the younger crashed his lips into Onew’s making the scene more heated than sweet. His hands were placed behind the neck while his right leg trailed teasingly up making a loud groan escape Onew’s mouth.

And when he was lift from the floor and carried to the big bedroom, lips still locked, eyes still closed, bodies still rubbing, Key’s heart became light again. Yes, he was still confused, Onew and Jonghyun were still battling for power over his love and he didn’t really knew what tomorrow could bring him.

But for now he could sense it. Onew was winning. And it felt good.
