I Can Be Happy (JongKey/OnKey)

With A Sigh I Drift Farther

The next day Kibum woke up to a text from Jonghyun asking if he and Taemin wanted to hang out since Minho and Jinki have work.

Kibum: I'm up for it, did you text Taemin?

Jonghyun: He hasn't replied

Kibum: I'll just go ask him

Jonghyun: Did he spend the night?

Kibum: At Minho's yea, and he's just down the street

Jonghyun: Ah, okay

Kibum got dressed and made himself presentable before going down the street and knocking on Minho's door. No one answered so Kibum used the hidden key and let himself in. He knocked on the bedroom door and there was still no answer. He opened the door and Taemin was curled up in the middle of Minho's bed, the older having already left for work.

"Taemin-ah!" Kibum sang, "It's time to wake up!"

Taemin groaned and buried his head in a pillow in response.

"Yah! Get up sleepy head" Kibum laughed and shook the boy lightly.

"Umma, I'm tired" Taemin wined.

"You should go to bed earlier then" Kibum replied, "Jonghyun wants to know if we want to hang out"

"Sure" Taemin replied and rolled over rubbing his eyes, "Let me just get dressed"

"I'll let him know to pick us up here" Kibum told him and left the room.

Kibum: Pick us up from Minho's

Jonghyun: Okay, we're stopping by work though so I can change my hours

Kibum: Alright, me and Taemin will just hang out there until you're done

Jonghyun picked them up without question as to why Taemin and Kibum were bundled up when winter had barely started. They headed to the store where Jonghyun and Kibum work and went inside. They walked to the back of the store before Jonghyun turned around.

"It shouldn't take me long, I'll call you when I'm done and we'll meet in the front" Jonghyun told them.

"Okay, see you later" Kibum replied and turned to Taemin, "Lead the way"

"What do you mean?" Taemin asked.

"Go on and browse, I work here so there's not much for me to see" Kibum answered.

"Oh, okay" Taemin replied and started looking around.

They ended up in the women's clothing section, just browsing the clothes. They came across a light, almost white, pink blouse with a big bow on the collar and Taemin stopped to look at it. (Link to photo in comments)

"This is cute, I'd wear it" Taemin said picking one off the rack.

"Buy it then" Kibum replied and the younger jumped.

"A-Are you kidding? This is a girl's top, heh" Taemin said embarrassed and put it back.

Kibum looked at the younger confused at his sudden change of mind.

They continued through the store and Kibum somehow ended up leading.

"Hey Taemin, wh-" Kibum turned around to find Taemin gone.

He sighed to himself and got out his phone, calling the younger.

"Hello?" Taemin answered.

"Where'd you go?" Kibum asked.

"Just meet me up front when Jonghyun-hyung is done" Taemin replied.

"Why can't I just stick with you?" Kibum asked.

"I... I just don't want to be found out yet" Taemin answered and hung up before Kibum could reply.

Time passed and Kibum just waited outside of where Jonghyun would walk out. He felt his phone vibrate, indicating he was getting a phone call, and he answered it.

"Hey I'm done" Kibum heard double as the older walked out of the door way.

Kibum smiled at him and hung up.

"Where's Taemin?" Jonghyun asked.

"He wanted to do some private shopping" Kibum answered, "He should be waiting up front"

"Alright, then let's go" Jonghyun replied.

They got to the front of the store and Taemin had something inside of layered plastic bags all tied at the top so you couldn't see what was inside.

"Hello hyungs" Taemin smiled, "Can I drop this off?"

"Sure, where do you live?" Jonghyun asked.

"Minho's apartment" Taemin mumbled.

"Don't you have your own place?" Jonghyun asked.

Kibum glared at the older as Taemin answered.

"Not anymore" The youngest answered, "But that's fine, let's just go"

They got to the apartment and Taemin ran in to put the stuff up. While he was gone, Jonghyun received a lecture for asking too many questions. Taemin got back in and they made their way to Jonghyun's.

As the day went on, Jinki and Minho joined after work. They were both complaining about the draining day they had and everyone decided alcohol would be the best solution.

They all were trying to be careful with how much they had, not wanting to get too drunk since some had to walk home. Somehow, they all ended up in a drunken Mortal Combat tournament. Minho was currently the champion and Jonghyun was doing anything to beat him.

"Just let me win once!" Jonghyun yelled, "A pity win, please!"

"Face it, you'll never win" Minho laughed.

Everyone was watching Minho and Jonghyun's endless fight, laughing whenever they shouted something ridiculous at each other.

Kibum was trying to keep his mouth from saying what he thought, and he seemed to be doing pretty well. Suddenly, he felt arms snake around his waist. He turned around to find an drunken Jinki with his face buried in Kibum's back.

"Jinki?" Kibum asked quietly.

"Shh, I'm sleeping" Jinki answered.

"On me?" Kibum asked with a giggle.

"Yes but you have to be still" Jinki whined and straightened up, placing his head on Kibum's shoulder.

The younger went stiff as he felt something pressed up against him, a blush growing on his face as he realized what it was.

"I love you" Jinki mumbled so low it was probably supposed to be to himself.

"Wh-What?" Kibum asked, turning to him.

"Hmm? I-I didn't say anything" Jinki replied embarrassed.

"Yes you did" Kibum told him, "What was it?"

"N-Nothing important" Jinki replied.

"Are you sure?" Kibum asked.

"Y-Yea" Jinki answered breaking the hug in embarrassment, "I'll be back" He said then scurried in the direction of the bathroom.

Kibum couldn't help but smile at the way he sped off to the bathroom, and turned his attention back to the game. He checked the time and saw it was getting late, so he finished off his last drink.

"I'm headed home!" Kibum announced.

"Bye, see you tomorrow!" was heard throughout the apartment and a defeated yell from Jonghyun who lost to a distracted Minho.

That night, Minho ended up in Kibum's apartment. The same thing happened, names of men who weren't there was all that was said in the end, leaving both of them happy, yet incomplete.
