Jess climbed the stairs of the building two steps at the time carrying her purse and the plastic bag with groceries.

She finally reached the floor where she lived and her eyes immediately darted to the closed door next to hers. She couldn’t help it, because on that apartment, beside hers, Kim Jonghyun, vocalist of the idol group SHINee, lived.

She knew he wasn’t home because he was probably busy either preparing SHINee comeback or Blue Night, the name of the radio broadcast where he was a DJ.

Don’t mistake it!

 They weren’t close. But they weren’t also strangers. Actually Jess has been to his apartment before and once they met on the stairs they would talk for a while, sometimes more than half an hour. He visited her on her apartment a few times too and they end up drinking together before.

Yet lately it was rare for her to see him.

She moved to that apartment 3 months ago and after having that special dream with Jonghyun, things were never the same.

Thanks to that fortuity meeting on the morning of the night she had a dream, a lot of things changed in her life.

Even if you forget the fact that she had met and become friendly with Jonghyun, you still had the fact that he introduced Lee Jinki, also known as Onew, to her once.

One night after work Jonghyun knocked on her door and invited her to go out for a couple drinks with him. You couldn’t blame Jess for thinking that he was asking her on a date. What would anyone think if a single man asked you out for drink?! Eventually it wasn’t a date and instead, Onew and a few other Jonghyun’s friends were waiting for them.

Of course Jess wasn’t sad with the turn of events. She was excited and she even managed to speak with her bias.

However that night, after all the excitement evaporated, she couldn’t help but feel saddened by the fact that it wasn’t a date after all.

Jonghyun often called himself a creature of the night  since he spent more time up during the night than during the day, not only because of his radio broadcast but also because he had insomnia. Also he was more productive during the night. Jess knew that it was true because she could hear him sing during the night sometimes. He often apologized to her because of the noise he made but Jess didn’t mind at all. Soon she became a creature of the night but only part time. She would listen to his radio broadcast and sometimes to him practicing or composing, laying down on her bed.

She spent many days falling asleep at work thanks to that too. However she couldn’t stop doing it. Somehow hearing Jonghyun’s voice was like healing and she couldn’t trade those hours of lack of sleep listening to him with anything else.

Like any other day Jess entered her apartment, took off her shoes and clothes - why wear them when you are alone -  and entered her bedroom only wearing her underwear. She took a quick shower, grabbed some leftovers from the fridge and walked with her hair still wet to her bed where she lied down eating while Blue Night, Jonghyun’s radio broadcast started.

Everyday Jonghyun speaks about a different theme and that night the theme was Dreams.

It was a funny subject since that’s how they met….well kinda.

One of the things she loved about Blue Night, beside the fact that Jonghyun’s voice was the sweetest and her lullaby every night; she also admired the fact that Jonghyun had a wide range of musical taste. That night, to introduce the Dream theme he played an old song, All I have to do is dream from Everly Brothers.

Jess closed her eyes and lied down on her bed listening to the lyrics of the song.

When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you

All I have to do is dream

Dream dream dream dream

It was funny how those lyrics fitted her dream with Jonghyun so perfectly.

When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you

All I have to do is dream

Dream dream dream dream

Unfortunately after that vivid dream Jess never dreamed with Jonghyun again. Well maybe she did but she wasn’t the type to remember her dreams anyway and now that she actually knew him, it was a little weird to actually dream with him. He was her next door neighbor after all, the one who offered her a new cactus when it was her birthday - it had a pretty flower - the same one who brought her a bottle of beer after a hard day of work or asked for her to lend him her mop because he somehow misplaced his. Who loses a mop anyway?!

I can make you mine

Taste your lips of wine

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is geewhiz

I’m dreaming my life away

Well even if Jessie was still having dreams with him every night wasn’t that a sad thing?! Talking with him, sharing her day, hugging him and kissing in a dream wasn’t the same thing as it was in real life. She couldn’t simply live all her life dreaming with a man she couldn’t possible have.

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you

All I have to do is dream

Dream dream dream dream--

The fact was that Jess was in love with her neighbor, idol, and bias list wrecker.  You could say she was a little obsessed with him now, but in a not creepy way, more like in a very infatuated way.

Love…that sad, crazy and excruciating feeling that didn’t want to go away even though her brain was constantly trying to kick it out from her heart.

The song ended but Jess kept humming the melody until Jonghyun spoke again.

“This is really a nice song isn’t it?” He asked chuckling “It fits Blue Night theme very well.” He seemed so proud of himself that Jessie rolled on her bad dying with the cuteness.

“Normally I don’t remember my dreams well when I wake up.”

He was just like her then. And those small hints of similarities made her go insane.

“I did have a special dream three months ago and I remember it so well that it’s like as if it was real.”

Jess knew exactly what he meant. Her dream with him was exactly like that too.

“It’s very peculiar because I dreamed with a woman that I didn’t know….” He cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed to talk about it. “I dreamed we were friends.”

He had to clear that of course.

“And the next day I found out she was my neighbor.”

That made Jess sit on her bed slowly.

“I mean, the woman from my dream was actually my neighbor. She even had the same name. I swear I never saw her before since she was new in the building and well I’m not much at home and when I am I hid inside it.” He laughed softly.

“Let’s read some of our listeners’ dreams. Send me your dreams please!”

Jess was frozen over her bed. He dreamed with her too?! Does that mean he had the same dream as her? Maybe not since he said they were friends in the dream, however of course he wouldn’t say he had a ier dream with a woman.

Ok it wasn’t y…it was an innocent kiss and a hug. Not much more than that and yet every time she thought about it her heart would explode.

Jess crossed her arms thinking. She never dared to tell him about her dream and now he was on the radio speaking about it and he probably knew she heard it. He did right? He probably knew that she listened to his broadcast every night. Or maybe he didn’t. She couldn’t recall telling him she did anyway.

Jess heard the rest of the broadcast hoping to hear more about Jonghyun dream with her.

 It was her right? It couldn’t be another neighbor right?

But he didn’t mention it anymore and soon Blue Night ended. She turned off the light and tried to sleep.

However sleep never came and Jess was doomed to not dream with him.

Instead she stood with eyes closed thinking and overthinking about what he said.

Maybe Jonghyun disease, his creature of the night habits where crawling into her because she was wide awake.

Jess the light and sat on her bed again. Then she decided to grab her , her tiny shorts and a tank top and started to do some cleaning.

First she swept the floor of the kitchen as if it needed it; then she washed several of her old glasses that she rarely used. Maybe by keeping busy and tiring herself she could sleep better.

However when she was cleaning her champagne flutes – as if she would ever use them – she realized she never stopped humming the song he played in Blue Night.

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why  ~

She was doomed and Jess took off her gloves and sighed.

She grabbed the trash bag and walked outside with it just like she did that morning when she met Jonghyun. This time Jess avoided the elevator and walked to the stairs.

Sometimes she would meet Jonghyun there because he often skipped the elevator and climbed the stairs. He said it was good for his health and since lately he didn’t have much time to go to the gym he used those opportunities to do some exercise. As if he needed with all the dancing he did.

Jess walked by his door and stopped, her eyes almost burning the door.

She wondered if he was back from the broadcast station and without thinking much about the stalker attitude she was having she stepped closer to the door and tried to eavesdrop.

Silence.

Jonghyun probably went out to drink with friends, or practice or simply he was home and asleep at the moment…watching a movie maybe?!

Jess turned around slowly and she almost bumped against a man.

JONGHYUN! !

She widened her eyes in fear of his reaction but his reaction as pretty casual.

“Is something wrong?”

“N-No!” She stuttered grasping the trash bag and placing it in front of her as if it was a gift she had for him or a secret magical barrier that would prevent him from seeing her.

It was failing!

He gently grabbed the trash bag and pulled it out from her hands which made Jess even more nervous because their hands touched briefly.

“I can help you with that.”

“It’s not heavy!” Jess said quickly but he was already turning around, like the gentleman he was and climbing down the stairs. She followed after him in silence and in silence they threw the bag into the bin and then came back.

They were almost reaching their floor when Jess spoke. She did have some time to think about a possible explanation for the reason she had her nose so close to his door.

And it wasn’t because of his remarkable scented candles she loved.

“I heard Blue Night tonight!”

“Shhhh!” He shushed her softly making her repeat it in a whisper.

“And?”

“The dream…I had the same dream!” Jess bit her lower lip and almost bumped against Jonghyun when he stopped on the top of the stairs and turned to her.

She nervously stared at the door of her apartment behind him and then back at him. His eyes on her were making her nervous, a good kind of nervous, her s were even hard, and she crossed her arms over her chest realizing that she wasn’t wearing any bra.

!

He wasn’t looking at her s though, his eyes on hers.

“Really?”

Why would she lie about that?!

“Really!”

“Oh…”

Jess didn’t know what that interjection meant so she tried to act the most natural possible, her arms still covering her hard s.

“Well…thank you and goodnight!” She said quickly trying to pass by Jonghyun but he grabbed her arm, his fingers moving slowly down to her wrist.

Jess swallowed hard, completely forgetting about her hard s because there were other parts of her going crazy at the moment.

“Come with me.” His voice was as soft as the one he used on the broadcast “Come drink with me. Tell me more about it.”

Come and drink with him?! Did he mean his apartment? That could be dangerous for a fangirl in love and Jess almost said no. But did she really want to dream her life away or did she want to actually start living it.

“Yes.”

He didn’t wait much and released her so he could insert the code of his door .

He opened the door for her and Jess entered his apartment carefully as if she was entering sacred grounds. She truly was!

The first thing she noticed was how dark it was. He truly was a creature of the night!

Jonghyun a lamp on the table beside the living room couch and that was the only light that stayed while he lightened a few scented candles that were around the room.

The decoration was almost all dark, the couch, the curtains, the walls. Only the floor had a dark blue tone that matched with the rest of the decoration.

Jess walked to the couch when he told her to sit and she stayed there while he strolled to the kitchen. She moved her head peeking at the hallway and she could see the door of what was probably his bedroom open, a part of his bed, with black covers, of course, could be seen. Beside the kitchen was for sure the place he practiced and composed since its wall was next to the wall of Jess’s bedroom. And the reason she could hear him so clearly at night.

He showed up soon after her peeking, with two bottles of beer that he opened for her and him.

“I didn’t know if you wanted a glass.”

“Oh no, no need!” She couldn’t pretend to be too ladylike when she was wearing zero makeup, her hair was a mess and wearing white shorts and black tank top. She wasn’t exactly proper at all, she could drink from a bottle.

“Tell me more about your dream!” he said almost immediately and Jess tried not to look much at him and focus on the scented candle on the table in front of her because if she did look at him she was sure she would melt. It was already hard to process the fact that she was inside his living room again - she was once when they met – with him a few centimeters away from her. If she wanted she could turn to him and steal a kiss from his lips. However if she did that she could buy a ticket to fly away from that country or write a will because she would die of embarrassment.

“I dreamed about you…showing up…in my bedroom.” She looked briefly at him and then realized what she said “IT WASN’T AN DREAM!” she covered because that sounded even worse now that she said it.

“Did I cook breakfast for you?” He was ignoring her reaction “Toast and coffee?”

“Yes….and after we ate pizza and watched a movie together.”

Jonghyun moved his hand on his thighs nervously and Jess widened her eyes realizing that they truly did have the same dream. “You kissed me.”

Her words made him blush slightly but he didn’t deny it “I did. In the dream. My dream…your dream…our dream apparently.”

“Then I woke up…And you woke up and we met outside.”

“We did!” He finished for her. “We actually had the same dream.”

That was obvious now but more importantly did they felt the same too?! Did they feel the same outside of the dream too?

Neither of them moved but both were thinking about the same, their eyes on the lame scented candle that curiously had a green color, which represented love in dreams.

“This is crazy!” He said after a while grabbing his beer and drinking a little bit.

 Jess didn’t even dare to touch her bottle or move.

“It is.” As crazy as falling in love in a dream and loving her idol neighbor.

She needed to get a new boyfriend for sure.

“Why didn’t you dream with Onew hyung though. He is your bias right?”

Jess looked at Jonghyun a little surprised. How did he even know Onew was her bias?

“How…?”

“Your key chain has a picture of him and you have a poster of him on your hallway. I saw it once when I went to ask you for a mop.”

“He is but….I always liked you too.” She truly had no shame.

He seemed happy with her confession and even maybe a little embarrassed which was cute.

“Maybe I should go home.” Jess said grabbing the bottle of beer so she could at least drink a little bit of it to not be rude. She could get drunk when she arrived home, if she needed too. She probably did after that.

However Jonghyun grabbed her hand , his fingers caressing her knuckles slowly and making Jess look at him.

He leaned forward as if he was checking her reaction, his eyes falling on her lips.

Damn! He felt the same she felt. In the dream and outside of it. Maybe he didn’t lose his mop after all, maybe the cactus with the flower had a special meaning, she was sure it probably did and maybe Jonghyun only lost things or found excuses to speak to her because he also liked her more than a neighbor.

Since she was doing a lot of thinking Jonghyun seemed a little worried he was doing the wrong thing but luckily Jess quickly woke up and closed the distance left between them, joining her lips with his like he did on their dream.

They kissed and this time both were sure the dream wouldn’t end.

After that kiss more kisses came, and more, and soon Jess’s back was leaning against the couch and Jonghyun body was pressed against hers while he kissed her, his fingers touching her neck and up to her cheek.

“Are we sure about this?!” She asked after a while when he moved away so both could breathe.

“Yes. Absolutely!” He answered back making Jess mile.

Resting time was over because he kissed her again and then stood up from the couch pulling her up with him and into his arms. Jess stumbled back when he pulled her to the hallway and in the direction of his bedroom.

She could have stopped him but she didn’t and she didn’t even want to do it.

He cupped her face kissing her in the middle of the hallway and then moved his hands down to her shoulders and to her arms, grabbing both her hands on his. Then he pulled Jess with him to his bedroom. It was a little dark, the weak light coming from the living room not illuminating much.

“Can you wait for second?”

She nodded weakly and Jonghyun quickly disappeared in the Livingroom again.

She saw the light of the living room lamp being turned off and then he came back holding two of his scented candles that he placed around his bedroom illuminating the bed and not much more.

“I really like the darkness but I want to see you.”

His comment made Jess all giddy and it was even worse when he approached her again, pulling his t-shirt over his head.

Jonghyun was shirtless in front of her like she daydreamed so many times before. She couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch him.

He didn’t move away, grinning with her action and she let her fingers move to that famous beauty spot she saw on pictures so many times before.

“I can’t believe you are real.”

“Are you real too? Can I touchyou?” He seemed eager to do so and Jess moved her hand away from his body nervously waiting for him to do it, to see if she was real too.

He grabbed her by her hips gently and then made her rotate so the light of the candle would illuminate her. he wanted to see her well.

Jess nervously and anxiously watched him, how his eyes moved from her hips up to her chest while he pulled her tank top above her head leaving her chest bare for him to see.

He moved his hands to her sides and then upwards, his fingers caressing her on the sensitive skin under her s.

“You feel real…” He whispered sweetly, his eyes filed with passion and Jess had a hard time keeping the strength on her legs.

She leaned forward searching his lips and he kissed her, suddenly the sweetness turning into urgency because it wasn’t a dream anymore.

Their hands moved on their bodies desperately and they fought with both their remaining clothes, getting while their lips were use kissing each other, tasting the skin of the person in front of them, fingers caressing parts of their bodies that were still a mystery to each other.

He pushed her softly down on the bed and Jess watched him while he grabbed a and prepared himself to penetrate her.

He didn’t do it immediately, taking his time tasting her lips, soft hands moving down her s to the vale between her legs.

Jess moaned when he entered her with his fingers, filling her with a part of him, the wrong one though. She needed more, much more and she hungrily kissed him, delivering noisy y kisses to his neck.

He probably needed to be more careful and warn her about leaving marks on his body but Jonghyun couldn’t care less.

That was better than any wild dream and he waited for so long for that. Ever since the first time he saw her, the way the scent of her hair hit him that morning making him fall for her immediately. He was a man that valued scents and she smelled amazingly well to him.

Jess was giving a hickey to his neck while he penetrated her with his fingers but he wanted more too. He released her and used both his hands to push her down on the bed. She looked at him a little surprised, her lips red, and her eyes half open filled with desire.

Jonghyun kissed her softly, rubbing his body and against her making Jess moan and then he breathed the scent of her neck and up to her hair that he kissed just when he entered her fully making Jess scream of pleasure.

He moved slowly in and out of her at first, increasing the pace once in a while, mumbling sweet words on her ear, how good she felt, how her scent was intoxicating, how much he always wanted to have her in his arms, how that wasn’t a dream anymore.

The changing between slow and fast s was making Jess go insane and she run her fingers on his back, opened searching for air that didn’t seem to be enough. It was amazing. Kim Jonghyun could be the death of her and she couldn’t picture a better way to die.

Was that even real?

Yes he was whispering to her that it wasn’t a dream, that he was actually there, over her, pleasuring her, his lips kissing hers, his fingers on her hair pulling her to his lips, to his nose so he could smell her – it was actually so damn y every time he did that, as if he wanted to breathe in all of her.

She came.

Of course she came, the hitting her like waves making Jess move her hips against him, raising her body in a last futile attempt to make that last longer, the sweet adrenaline running through her veins making her lose all her strength and fall back in bed, helpless under him.

He watched her quickening his pace so he could come fast too, his gaze on her expression, on the way she had her eyes closed, a small sigh leaving her lips.

He came soon after, groaning, ing into her firmly making her whimper, still sensitive from the , one of his hands grasping the pillow under her, the other supporting his weight the best he could so he wouldn’t hurt her, and his mouth finding her neck that he bit in pleasure muting his moans while he released inside her.

They didn’t move for a while but Jonghyun let his body fall softly over her and she felt him relax, his accelerated breathing tickled her neck but she didn’t move.

It was her time to breathe in his scent. It was a manly, musky scent and she never wanted to forget it ever.

She ran a hand on his still pink hair, due to his recent comeback and down to his back.

“I can’t believe this happened!” She said a little shyly now that she realized that she truly had with Kim Jonghyun.

Was it only though? The thought worried her a little.

It wasn’t as if she never had one night stand but that man, that moment they just shared was too amazing to be only a one night stand.

He chuckled softly and rolled from over her and sat on the bed. “I can’t either.” He said taking the from his and standing up , his beautiful a few steps away from her. Damn she wanted to touch it.  It was a cute little .

She sat on the bed feeling a little woozy from the and lifted her hand to touch him but he spoke then.

“I’ve always liked you.”

She froze letting her hand fall on the bed. No time to touch his now, not when he was making a confession. She could try and do that later.

“I like you….like a lot!” Jess said making him turn to her.

His cheeks and neck were red but she wasn’t sure if it was due to the or because he was embarrassed.

“I like you a lot too.”

“Then it’s not only ?” She asked uncertain and he sat on the bed and leaned to kiss her.

It was a sweet lazy kiss and she couldn’t be happier with it because it was full of tenderness. She didn’t mind the passionate ones they shared before but that one kiss was precious. It was like the one from the dream.

He seemed to think the same because his smile matched hers when both broke the kiss.

“I’m going to throw this out!” He said showing the . “And be back so you can touch my !”

“What?” Jess couldn’t believe that he knew that.

WAIT!

The only way he could know what she was thinking was if that was a dream.

“Oh I knew it!” Jessie threw a tantrum, hitting the mattress with her fist “I’m dreaming again!” She cried cutely moving her hands on her hair waiting to wake up but nothing happened.

Jonghyun was still in front of her with an amused expression.

“Why am I not waking up?”

She pinched herself crying with the pain but nothing. “Maybe you need to pinch me instead!”

Jonghyun took a deep breath and caressed her cheek tenderly, not pinching her like she asked. “I have a mirror…”he pointed at the other side of the bedroom and Jess saw her image in it “There! I saw you in it.”

She swallowed embarrassed and he patted her head gently “You are not dreaming. I’m going to the bathroom and I’ll be back to convince you that you are not dreaming.”

“With ?” She asked teasingly with a ert grin and that made Jonghyun laugh.

“Yes. Don’t go anywhere!” He warned her as if afraid she would disappear like she did on his dream.

“No. Never!”

That dream was not going to end ever. 

Happy Birthday! I'm sorry it comes late.

I hope you like it still!

Love you ! >//<

Also thank you for the ideas....thanks to you I was able to write a funny drabble!
