Key woke up with the worst hangover of her life the next day. She quickly hold her head in place as the unbearable pain shot through her brain. "Ouch." she groaned. Key squirmed on the floor, noticing that she is sleeping on top of her clothes, while she herself is . "I was really drunk yesterday, wasn't I?" she asked herself.

After putting on her clothes and tying her messy hair, she walked out of her room, on the way to the kitchen to get water for her hangover. Her head hurt like crap and she really wants to puke at the moment. But puking is disgusting. Ew. So she hold it in.

It's 7 in the morning she read from the wall clock in the dining room. The other SHINee members are unlikely to be up yet. So Key was pretty surprised when he saw Jonghyun's back facing the kitchen counter, probably making ramen. He must've forgot to eat last night since he was so busy.

She walked to his direction, aiming for the water dispenser next to the kitchen counter. But then she stumbled from her hangover, almost falling down. Thus, her body reacted quickly as a reflex to keep herself stable, she hold onto Jonghyun's bare shoulder (the older is only wearing a white tank-top) for support. She closed her eyes, trying to regain balance. She didn't get her balance back. Instead she fell down on the floor.

Jonghyun flinched as a familiar touch suddenly make a contact with his cold shoulder. He was so surprised, he swatted the hand off his shoulder, turning around quickly, making the one who is holding onto his shoulder fell on the floor.

"Ouch, Jjongie!" she whined, calling him with his nickname, making him flinch even more. "Could you get me water please? A bad hangover here." she called, still flat on the floor, holding her head.

The memory of what he did last night flashed in his mind. The guilt rush over his system, making him step backwards. He panicly took an empty plastic glass and filled it with water, handing it to Key hurriedly. When the younger took the glass of water away, Jonghyun ran away from the kitchen, back to his bedroom, the ramen all forgotten.

"What the heck?" Key asked herself, drinking more water. Jonghyun's earlier expression is like that expression of a puppy being busted pooping on the couch. She shrugged it off, scratching the back of her head. She hold onto the chair to help her stand up.

On the stove is the boiling ramen, it smells good. Key shook her head a few times, noticing that Jonghyun left the ramen to go back to his bedroom. That is such a dangerous thing to do. So she continued cooking the ramen for the older.

She started thinking about what she did last night, she couldn't remember anything anymore after she drank bottles of soju. It was a nice outing actually. But the hangover is killing her, she regretted drinking that much. It must've been a big burden for Onew and Taemin too to bring her back to the dorm.

Beep! Beep!

The girl hold her head again, the pain back to her head from such a simple alert voice. She turned to the kitchen counter to see Jonghyun's phone beeping, its light red, signaling that there's an incoming message. Key grew curious. She peeked to his phone to see who sent him the message so early in the morning.

Her heart stopped the second she saw who sent him messages.

To: Kim Jonghyun

Okay then! Guess I'll meet you there today at 11?
Sounds great! :)

Shin Sekyung

"Shin Sekyung?" Key asked in a whisper, mostly to herself. She has no idea that the older is still in contact with Sekyung after their break up. Then what the media said about them still being 'good-friends' after the break up is true. Or is it?

If they're just friends why didn't Jonghyun ever talk about her? Are they still in a relationship but decided to hide it from everyone to avoid scandals? Even if they do that, isn't it a little bit too much for Jonghyun to hide it from her? She's his bestfriend! At least that's what she thinks. Is she only a mere a stranger for him?

Other than that, they're going to meet 'there' by 11. Is it today? What are they doing meeting each other? Are they going to get back together again or something like that? God, why does Key feel like an overly jealous girlfriend?

"Give me that!" Jonghyun's voice broke her out from her trance. He snatched his phone away from Key's slim fingers. "Don't look at my personal matters like that!" he scolded her coldly.

It was the first time Key has ever seen such panic and uneasiness in Jonghyun's eyes. He was acting strangely cold to her too. "I'm s-sorry, Jjong. I didn't mean to invade your privacy. I was just-"

Jonghyun hugged his phone to his chest. He didn't want to hear anything from Key. He let his eyes wander to the younger's pale neck, spotting the hickey he gave her last night. He shuddered. What will Key do if she finds out he gave her that? She'll hate him for taking advantage of her forever. He hates feeling so guilty, so insecure like this. He needed to avoid Key for a while. So he ran for it, running back to his bedroom.

As Jonghyun's bedroom's door slammed close, the door to the bedroom next to the dino's opened, revealing a messy looking Choi Minho, still yawning. "WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO LOUD?! IT'S MORNING FOR GOD'S SAKE! LET ME SLEEP!"

The froggy rubbed his eyes angrily, looking around the dorm to see who was it that made such fuss so early in the morning. He was having a very nice 'hot' dream and it all went bad after someone slammed a door to his bedroom so loudly, disturbing his sleep. He's expecting for either Jonghyun, Onew, or Taemin so he can at least vent his anger at either of the three (preferrably all three). But all he found with his blurry eyes is a pale Key, intensely cooking ramen.

"Why ramen in the morning? Thought you take care of yourself better." Minho approached the girl from behind, sitting on the kitchen's stool. He saw that Key's face looks uneasy.

"It's not for me. Uh- Jonghyun opp- hyung made it. Then he left to his bedroom leaving this behind. So I thought I'll continue cooking it." Key answered fully, as if she had prepared the answer for the question before.

Minho eyed him suspiciously. "Why are you so jumpy?"

"I'M NOT!"

"Yup. You're totally jumpy. What's wrong?" he asked, his hands silently combing his messy hair.

Key sighed. Minho doesn't live with her for years for nothing. Every SHINee members can read each other like open books, it's scary sometimes. Key pondered if he should tell Minho about Sekyung, but really, it's none of her bussiness. She doesn't have any right to feel upset about it either. Jonghyun rejected her once so it means the guy's free to do date whoever he wants without feeling guilty about her feelings.

She looked over to the gigantic froggy yawning on the stool of the kitchen. He looks ridiculous. "I don't want to talk about it right now. Maybe later." she told him.

"How much later?" Minho asked, standing up from the stool to walk closer to the girl, happily observing the way her eyebrows are knitted from the heat of the ramen. "Is it later now? Is it later tomorrow?"

"Seriously, frog eyes." she scowled, picking the pot of ramen up after she wore her gloves. "Why are you up so early anyway? You're annoying me. Just go back to sleep or something." she told him, putting the pot of ramen down on the dining table.

The smell of ramen spread around their dorm room. Minho sat down on the dining table, taking out the chopsticks he was carrying around. He opened the pot's lid, blowing on the ramen furiously and strongly. Then he took in the ramen into his mouth, enjoying the ramen as his breakfast, ignoring the weak punches Key threw him on his upper arm.

No matter how weird her members are she still loves them. But sometimes scoldings are needed. "Why are you eating that! That's Jonghyun's you know? He didn't eat last night, he must be starving!"

The younger of SHINee's 91 line glared playfully to the older one. "He left to his bedroom, didn't he? That means he doesn't want this anymore. He's not the only one who didn't eat last night. I didn't eat either. So either you sit there quietly and share the ramen with me or you can nag while I eat." he said. Key rolled her eyes. But she joined him in the dining table anyway.

To: Kim Jonghyun

Okay then! Guess I'll meet you there today at 11?
Sounds great! :)

Shin Sekyung

It read. Jonghyun sighed in relief as Sekyung didn't mention anything about what he told her before and Key didn't check his earlier messages with her.

To: Shin Sekyung

I'll be waiting. You're the best, Sek. :)
Kim Jonghyun

Jonghyun lay back down on his bed, trying to calm down his fast beating heart. If it goes on, he'll totally have an arrhyth- whatever that is. He still can't get rid of the image of Key his name in her drunk state. How they almost have . That's so wrong.

He spent his whole night wide eyed. He can't stop feeling so bad about what he did. His heart will explode if he doesn't tell anyone soon. But who can he trust about it? He usually talks to Key about these stuffs. But he can't talk to her about this one, duh.

For this time, he's forever in debt with Shin Sekyung.

Flashback

The dino tossed around in his bed, rolling here and there, lying sideways, on his stomach, trying to find the best position to sleep. No matter how hard he tried to stop it, the image of the fragile defenseless and almost all Key always pops in his mind. Jonghyun almost jumped when his phone suddenly beeped.

To: Kim Jonghyun

Jjong man! You asleep? Kekeke ..
I heard you're on Music Show with Lee Juck? You close with him? Do you have his number?
I'm in need with him. My producer wants him to sing my drama's OST. Can you give me his number? Thanks :)

Shin Sekyung

Maybe they've broken up. But it was the best moment in Jonghyun's life to know that there's a girl as awesome as Sekyung who will be cool enough to still want to be his friend even after their break up. How relieved was he now that suddenly one of his trusted friend texted him in the dawn?

To: Shin Sekyung

You're such a traitor Sekkie~
I'm a singer too you know T.T
But sure, here you go;
1001-xxx-xxx

Kim Jonghyun

He tried closing his eyes again after he sent her a reply. Just to see if he can sleep yet. As soon as he close his eyes, a My Melody underwear appeared in his mind. "."

To: Kim Jonghyun

I told them to cast you instead! But they're insisting Lee Juck.
Their loss, huh? Lee Juck sounds nice tho. Maybe it's not a wrong choice? Kekeke ..
Thank you! :)
Why are you not asleep yet?

Shin Sekyung

He totally should tell her about what's bothering him.

To: Shin Sekyung

You wicked girl :p
Something's bothering me. Really need someone to talk about it to.
Be that someone?

Kim Jonghyun

He was nervous. He really needed her help. He'll go nuts if he can't share this problem with someone.

To: Kim Jonghyun

Sure. I got time. Wanna meet up in the cafe in Hongdae tomorrow?
We haven't hung in a while.
Let's catch up.

Shin Sekyung

To: Shin Sekyung

Can't :( Hongdae is way too crowded. We'll get a scandal again. Kekeke ..
Can we meet in the cafe near my dorm instead?
I really wanna catch up with you too :)

Kim Jonghyun

How long has it been, Jonghyun didn't keep track of the time. All he knows is that Sekyung didn't reply him anymore. Maybe she fell asleep already. Can't blame her. He sighed and chuckle in ridicule to himself.

Suddenly, Jonghyun heard a whale sound coming out from his stomach. He cursed in his brain. He forgot to eat at all last night. Now he's hungry. He decided to just get off the bed (he can't sleep anyway) and make some ramen to eat outside.

End of Flashback

Lost in his thoughts, he jumped in surprise when the whale sound come back. He groaned in annoyance, scratching the back of his head violently. Only then that he remembers his ramen still cooking in the kitchen. He gulped, running out to the kitchen.

However, Jonghyun stopped as he heard gigglings coming from the dining room. Two voices laughing together at something. He gathered his courage and peeked out to see who the voices in the dining room belongs to.

His fist clenched tightly when he saw that it's Minho and Key, sitting side by side, laughing at the jokes that the froggy made as they share ramen with each other- Is that HIS ramen?!

The two are having so much fun eating his ramen as breakfast while joking around with one another that they didn't notice him at all. Not even the slightest. Jonghyun angrily made his way back to his bedroom, deciding that he'll just go out for breakfast.

He put on his outfit for the day; a grey hoodie, a black jeans, a snapback cap, and his sunglasses (just in case). He put his phone in his back pocket, checking twice for his wallet. Then he walked out of his bedroom, ignoring the pain in his stomach. He's not used to skipping meals.

"Jjong!" he heard Key called his name from behind. What does she want?! "Where are you going? Don't you want to eat breakfast first?"

Jonghyun didn't bother to turn around first. "I-uh I'm h-having a lunch date out with someone. Don't bother cooking for me. I'm going out." he said, putting on his DC sneakers before walking out of the dorm.

"I already fried eggs for you though .." he missed Key saying. The girl can only hold her chest, ignoring the pain in it after the dino talked about having a lunch date before he left.

Arriving early, Jonghyun ordered two cupcakes first for his breakfast in the cafe. It feels weird being out so early in the morning on Saturdays. The street isn't as crowded as usual. It is in some way pretty relaxing for him as he needed the peaceful atmosphere.

He decided to relax and listen to the musics in his iPod while waiting for Sekyung who probably won't come until the next 2 hours. His face scrunched in annoyance as the iPod played one of the Daegu girl's songs. He doesn't need to be reminded of her for a while. She hasn't done anything wrong to him. But blaming her for making him feels so guilty like this is the best way for him to calm himself for the moment.

"Well, well, well. Look who can't wait to meet me." a girl teased. Jonghyun chuckled lightly when he saw Sekyung making her way to his seat at the corner of the cafe after an hour or more of waiting.

"Nice to see you again after a while too. Been busy?" he asked her as she took a seat right in front of him. He watched as the actress gracefully ordered cupcakes just like him and two glasses of Americano for them.

She cleared . "Yeah. Hectic! Nice to hang out again after so long." she smiled.

"I feel you." Jonghyun said, making her chuckle as they continue making more small talks like asking how the other have been, what's their latest project, if they can help each other, basically how life has been treating them. Their cupcakes and drinks came after a while.

Sekyung watches as Jonghyun fidgets in his seat, tapping his feet impatiently. It's always funny for her when he do that. She enjoyed his weird antics for minutes before she finally ends it. "So let's cut to the chase. You had a fight with Kibum?"

"More like a fight with myself! I almost- wait a second. What makes you assume it's Kibum?"

The actress smirked, making Jonghyun shiver. As expected of an actress. "Everything in your life revolves around Key if you haven't notice, Jjong. I'm serious. You can fool everybody else including Key himself. But fooling people, acting in front of them is my job and I can see the difference between them and reality. You don't have to deny your feelings for him in front of me."

"Well that makes it short." Jonghyun sighed. "You're not going to judge me for being gay?"

To his surprise, Sekyung shook her head a few times. "Nope. It makes me feel good that at least I was dumped by a gay guy." she grinned, sticking her tongue out. Jonghyun couldn't help but chuckle lightly. "So tell me what happened."

Long story or the short one, Jonghyun started telling Sekyung about how guilty he's feeling. He was afraid Sekyung will judge him at first. But that was what bothers him most, so might as well say it. He told Sekyung how he almost have with Key, leaving out the part where the beautiful boy turned into a girl now. Sekyung doesn't have to know that.

"That's it? Jjong! Seriously! You didn't even have with him! You stopped yourself. Stop feeling so guilty." Sekyung slapped his upper arm lightly. "I know that sounds so ty of me, but seriously, the fact that you're feeling guilty is actually kind of cute."

"Cute?! The wrong with you Sek?! I almost my bestfriend!"

"IT'S CUTE!" she squealed, excitedly moving to the chair next to Jonghyun's. She whispered in his ears. "The fact that you feel guilty about almost doing something like to someone means you love him, you doof." she smiled.

Is that true? Cause Jonghyun is already blushing. He does love Key a lot. So much that he couldn't help but feel like the worst person on Earth for even stupid enough to listen to her drunk talks to take advantage of her. This one time is just a lesson. A lesson to teach himself how he exactly feels about Key. He comes to a conclusion that for him, Key is a fragile lovable creature, protected one.

The actress feels somehow proud that she knocked some sense into the dino's head. "But if you do still feel guilty, avoid Key for a while. You know, so the guilt go away first. Hang out more often with me!" she cheerfully added. Jonghyun scoffed. She pouted. "Fine! Don't call me anymore!" she said, standing up from her seat.

Jonghyun laughed at her antics. He knows she's just playfully threatening him. He leaned back to the chair, sipping his Americano while watching her walk slowly to the front door, waiting to be stopped. But he dared her. She finally gave in, whining why he's not asking her back to her seat.

"We've seen too much, Key." Minho pulled the diva by her wrist, out of the cafe.

They were bored back in the apartment and Key looks so uneasy about something. So he decided to take her out to relieve stress or something. Due to his bad luck, he chose the cafe near their dorm. He didn't see Jonghyun in there at first, so he just waltz in with the girl. But the girl noticed.

"So he is really dating her again." Key said, looking at the couple talking about something.

It's really weird to see Key down so suddenly. She's the shine of SHINee and she never shows her upset face usually. "Maybe we should greet them then!" he said, pulling the girl to the table at the corner where Jonghyun and Sekyung are.

Minho regretted his action. They're so close to the couple yet the two didn't even notice them. Sekyung moved to the chair next to Jonghyun's squealing happily before she whispers stuff, making Jonghyun blush afterwards. The tallest one in the cafe take a look at the girl beside him, watching as her face slowly pales up. He took her wrist to drag her out of there, but she refused.

Key listens intently. She knows it's wrong to eavesdrop on people, but she can't help it if she can hear the actress' beautiful soft voice telling Jonghyun, "But if you do still feel guilty, avoid Key for a while. You know, so the guilt go away first. Hang out more often with me!"

Her face drops to the pit of the sea when Jonghyun literally nodded in agreement. What guilt was she talking about? Is he feeling guilty about her? Because he thought she still loves him but he loves another girl (in this case, Sekyung) and cannot love her back? Is that what he's feeling guilty about?

She feels so weak and pitied all of a sudden. This time, she let Minho drag her home to their dorm. Once they arrived, Key ran to her bedroom, closing the door behind her and didn't come out the bedroom until the evening.

That evening, when Jonghyun finally came back home, she greeted him with a smile as usual. He is not going to feel guilty about her feelings. She observes him head to toe for the last time, she is going to forget her feelings for him. But then she found something she shouldn't see.

A hickey. On his neck.

Tears threatened to escape both her eyes as her mind slowly draw images of Jonghyun making love with Sekyung. Key put his head down, avoiding his stare. God, now she looks like a freak suddenly crying with no reason. She tried her best not to show it, so she ran back in her bedroom, throwing herself onto the bed.

Just when she decided to forget her feelings for the damn dino, he has to rub it in her face.

Lucky for her, Minho is there, to hold her and lend his chest for her to cry on for the rest of the night.
