Chapter 8



“Spill.”

“What?”

“I know something happened. I’m not stupid.”

“Taemin, what are you talking about?”

Taemin glared, sighing in annoyance. He rolled his eyes as he propped his cheek with his palm. Kibum fidgeted on his seat, staring at the page of his opened book. He heard Taemin’s sigh again before the other male grabbed him by his arm.

“Okay, so, I have been watching for the whole week and I tried to act innocent, I tried to act like I knew nothing, but you have to test my patience of waiting for you to tell me the details. So here I am, not being able to hold back my curiosity and you better tell me every detail of anything that happened a week ago. I swear to break your neck if you leave a single thing.”

Kibum blinked at the long sentences, trying to digest the information into his brain. He opened his mouth, trying to form a word or two but failed miserably.

“Fine. You win.”

“So?”

“Yeah, something did... happen.”

“And?” said Taemin impatiently, tapping his fingers on the table. Kibum stole a glance at him and grinned guiltily, “We... We got together...”

“Oh, really?!” exclaimed Taemin, hands flying to grab him by his arm. Kibum smiled at him, nodding slowly. “So, you are like... his boyfriend now?”

“Shh, don’t say it too loud, Taemin-ah! But, yeah, I am...” smiled Kibum happily. Taemin grinned, giggling at nothing in particular before enveloping Kibum in a tight embrace. “I’m so happy for you!”

“Thanks,” mumbled Kibum against his shoulder. The murmurs in the classroom died down as the door opened and the lecturer for the class went in.

Kibum caught the glance of Jonghyun staring at them tangled in a hug, and he held back a chuckle by seeing them acted like kids. Kibum slowly leaned back from the hug, getting a nudge on his ribs from Taemin who caught onto the gaze.

“I can tease you more now,” whispered Taemin playfully. Kibum nudged him back on his stomach and Taemin faked a groan.

“Did you tell Taemin before?” asked Jonghyun when they walked together into their apartment building. Kibum nodded, watching as the older male chuckled in response.

“I was almost jealous of seeing you with Taemin,” joked Jonghyun playfully. Kibum stared at him, eyebrows furrowed. They stopped in front of his door, watching as Jonghyun grinned at him.

“Go inside, your fingers are getting cold,” said Jonghyun gently while rubbing the freezing fingers in his palms. Kibum smiled at his act, nodding his head. “I’ll call you when dinner is ready later, hyung.”

“Yeah, sure. Thanks about that, Kibum.” Jonghyun grinned at him. He stepped forward, leaning his head down and pressed a single kiss on Kibum’s heart-shaped lips. “See you,” whispered Jonghyun softly and Kibum felt his face flushed. He smiled, wrapping his arms around the older male’s shoulder before Jonghyun could step back.

“You don’t have to be jealous, hyung. You already have my heart,” murmured Kibum with face in red before he pecked his lips once again and quickly disappeared into his apartment.

Jonghyun chuckled, ruffling his hair, “It’s nice to know that, Kibum-ah!”


They had dinner together like always and Jonghyun helped him washed the dishes after that. Kibum was thankful for that, giving him a quick hug on his waist as a gift. The smile on Jonghyun’s face remained for the whole night.

Kibum offered to cuddle on the couch, and Jonghyun offered making them cups of warm tea. They got on the couch, with Jonghyun’s left arm holding onto him around his waist while his other free hand was wrapped around his cup of tea. Kibum gripped onto his cup with both hands, leaning close to him.

“Exams are coming, Kibum-ah,”

“Yes. When is it, hyung?”

“It’s in two weeks. Are you ready?” asked Jonghyun, holding him even closer. Kibum hummed, sipping on the tea before shaking his head no. “Not really. I mean, I still don’t really get some things...”

“Like what?”

“Uh, can I say it?” Kibum mumbled. Jonghyun smiled reassuringly, nodding for him to continue. Kibum grinned, “Accounting...?”

Jonghyun felt his nose was growing in cocky way. “Just ask me. I’m your lecturer, anyway.”

The younger male laughed, putting down his cup on the coffee table in front of them. “Can I? Isn’t it unfair to your other students?” asked Kibum carefully. Jonghyun hummed, putting down his cup as well before tapping his chin. “Well, it is a bit unfair... but, you are my boyfriend, so you will be an exception.”

Kibum rolled his eyes at the remark but he felt happy inside. Hearing the words ‘my boyfriend’ coming out from Jonghyun’s mouth was sending warm flutters in his stomach.

“Alright. I will ask you some things later, Mr. Kim,” said Kibum in a mocking tone. Jonghyun laughed loudly, squeezing the slender waist in his hold. Kibum giggled at his laugh, leaning his head on Jonghyun’s shoulder while the older male was drawing some circles on his upper arm.

Kibum bit his lip, glancing at the hidden thing in his drawer by the corner of the room. He had something for Jonghyun that he hadn’t been able to give due to his nervousness.

“Hyung?” called Kibum softly after a calm silence. Jonghyun hummed, running his hand through the younger male’s soft hair. Kibum bit his lip again, looking up from his shoulder.

“I... have something to give you...”

“Really? What is it?” asked Jonghyun curiously. Kibum sent him a nervous smile, untangling his body from Jonghyun’s arm before standing up.

“Wait a minute,” said he before walking towards the said drawer. Jonghyun watched as he pulled on the drawer, grabbing something rather small into his palm before Kibum turned around and hid his hand behind his back.

“Um, hyung,” said Kibum again after he sat down on the couch, lifting both of his legs up onto the couch. Jonghyun twisted his waist to his side, watching Kibum debating in his mind. “What is it, Kibum?”

“Uh, never mind... Just forget that I want to give you something,” said Kibum quickly before moving to stand up. Jonghyun caught his wrist before he could do so and stared into his eyes.

“Something’s wrong? What happen?”

Kibum sighed in distress, before staring into his eyes. “Hyung, open your hand,”

Jonghyun did as he was told so, watching Kibum putting his curled fist on top of his before he felt something cold was placed on top of his palm. Kibum took a deep breath, before backing away to the armrest of the couch.

The older male looked down and found—

“A key?”

Kibum nodded, bottom lip trapped between his teeth. “It’s a spare key to... my place. Um, I know that maybe it’s too fast but I think since you are practically coming over here everyday, why don’t you have your own key...”

Jonghyun gaped at the thing in his hand. Did Kibum seriously give him this precious thing? Did Kibum take their relationship into a more serious stage?

“Uh, hyung? Is it fine? Or should we slow—”

Jonghyun lunged forward and pressed their lips together. Kibum was taken aback at the sudden kiss and he could only blink. The older male had leaned back; a grateful smile was visible on his face.

“Thank you, Kibum. I never thought you would trust me for something this serious...”

Kibum fiddled with his fingers, looking down on his lap and nodding his head. “I... I do trust you, hyung. I just hope I don’t force you to do anything that you don’t like.”

“Kibum, this is more that I could hope for. Do you know that my heart is beating so fast right now?” asked Jonghyun breathlessly, grabbing Kibum’s palm and pressed it against the left side of his chest. Yeah, Kibum could feel it. It was so fast; his heartbeat.

With a smile, Kibum nodded his head. Jonghyun carefully put the key down on the table before scooting closer to him, trapping him between his body and the armrest of the couch. “Now, let me spoil you as well.”

And he locked their lips. A soft content sigh escaped Kibum’s lips as he closed his eyes. Jonghyun tilted his head to left, still not believing that the beauty he was kissing right now was the one who entrusted the spare key to his apartment to him. He felt so incredibly happy.

“Thank you,” whispered Jonghyun when he leaned back, watching as Kibum smiled a bit before he dove down to kiss him again. The younger male kissed him back, fingers gripping onto his brown shirt as Jonghyun scooted even closer to him, pressing his body to Kibum’s folded legs.

Their lips locked for a while; the only sound echoing in the room was the soft sounds of their lips moving together. Jonghyun bravely part his lips, tongue softly licking onto Kibum’s bottom lip. The younger male trembled at the act, before parting his lips for the entrance way for Jonghyun’s tongue.

The tip of their tongue met and Kibum felt the electricity sparked on his whole body. He clung on Jonghyun’s shoulder now, folded legs opened for Jonghyun to scoot even more closer to him. Jonghyun hummed into his mouth, hands holding onto Kibum’s waist gently. The younger male dared himself to drag his fingers across the tanned neck, slowly tipping upwards into his hair.

Jonghyun sighed, pressing their lips more and Kibum felt his head was pushed backwards. He gently pulled onto the brunette hair, breathing into Jonghyun’s mouth. His fingertips were rubbing onto his scalp and Jonghyun moved his head to the different angle.

After seemed like forever, Jonghyun leaned back, the string of saliva connecting their swollen wet lips. Kibum was left breathless, eyes still closed and fingers still tangled in his hair. Jonghyun breathed the air into his lungs, watching as Kibum breathed rapidly as well.

“You... okay?” asked Jonghyun breathlessly, face still unbelievably close to Kibum’s. The younger male nodded, slowly fluttering his eyes open and they met a pair of gorgeous brown eyes.

It was like the best kiss ever for Kibum.

Jonghyun’s thumb went up to wipe the saliva from Kibum’s bottom lip and he grinned happily. “You are so pretty.”

Kibum blushed, smiling softly at the compliment. He watched as Jonghyun leaned to peck his lips again, brushing them together in the softest touch and Kibum was about to melt. The older male seemed like to never get enough of the innocent pecks and he kept on pressing for more and more and more. Kibum laughed at his act, pressing his puckered lips against Jonghyun’s plump ones.

“Hyung, stop it,” whined Kibum between his giggles as Jonghyun was now pecking his cheeks continuously. The older male grinned like a happy puppy, pulling Kibum forward into his arms for a hug. He hummed against the crook between Kibum’s neck and shoulder, tightening his hold on his waist. Kibum smiled happily, arms also tightening around his shoulder.

His heart was fluttering in the unhealthiest way and he was really sure he would melt into a puddle of goo if Jonghyun kept on continuing this—

“My Kibummie,” whispered Jonghyun on his ear.

Yes, Kibum was sure he melted in Jonghyun’s arm at the moment.
