'It's amazing how easily the heart may fall in love. For some it takes a while, but for others it happens within seconds. But sometimes we must be aware on who we let into our lives. For there is always a side where it shows one's true colors.'
Kim...
He hung up all the photos he's taken onto the cluttered wall. A cigarette was placed in between his lips and when take a step back, he let out a big puff of smoke. "Beautiful..." he commented as his lips were tugged into a smile.
The wall was covered in many and various photos of Jonghyun. There wasn't a spot that wasn't covered. Even the corners and cracks. One thing to note. Any pictures that included someone with Jonghyun were either scratched or circled. Kibum's face was scratched out and Jinki's and Taemin's circled.
He then became furious. If Jonghyun and Kibum weren't together then he'd be all his. "Kibum must go."

Jonghyun was in the middle of giving a presentation when his phone rang. Everyone had stared at him with a disinterested and irritated expression. "I thought I said all phones to be off." His teacher said. "Yes, I'm sorry." He bowed and when seeing the caller, it was from an unknown number. Declining the call and lowering the volume, he continued with his presentation. And yet again, another phone call.
This time, he shut off volumes and shoved his phone back into his pocket. "As I was saying," he continued. He began to worry as his stupid phone ringing could affect his grade. Nearing the end of his presentation, he could feel his phone continuously buzz in his pocket. He was getting so fed up with this. He took his phone out to the side and shut it down completely. Much better.
"Alright, thank you Mr. Kim," His teacher said in a serious tone as he took his seat. "Alright, good job everyone. Grades will be posted by the end of the week." The class bowed and began packing their things.
"Way to go, Jonghyun." some students laughed. Covering his face, he prayed that he did well enough to receive a good grade. Wondering who was the person that blew up his phone, he took it out from his pocket, turning it back on. He saw many messages and missed phones call from an unknown number. Some messages were very vulgar, making him uncomfortable. He assumed this person had dialed the wrong number.
Sending a quick message back to the person, he saw the time. "Shibal! I'm going to be late for my class!"

Jonghyun stood outside his landlord's office, holding the envelope that contained his rent money. "Mr. Oh..? Are you here? I have my rent." He noticed the door lock busted in and the light inside flickering. Somebody didn't feel right. He was ready to go back to his apartment and call for help but he couldn't help but wonder, was Mr. Oh here? What if something happened to him?
Jonghyun was very contemplated on what do. In the end he decided to risk it and just enter the office. Using his phone as a flashlight, he scanned the room, seeing the mess created. Papers were everywhere, furniture knocked over, glass shattered, but no sign of Mr. Oh. When entering the back room, he saw something that made his blood run cold.
Mr. Oh was in a pool of blood, multiple stab wounds in his chest, his eyes half opened. Jonghyun screamed and shakily bent down, placing his two fingers on his neck. There was no pulse. "O-oh no.." His breath quickened and his mind ran. But when looking on the wall, he saw the words "I DID THIS FOR YOU JJONG NOTICE ME" written in Mr. Oh's blood. Jonghyun screamed and ran out like there was no tomorrow.

Kibum held Jonghyun as the other silently sobbed into his chest. The image of Mr. Oh couldn't leave his mind and Jonghyun grew scared. He couldn't help but blame himself for his landlord's death. "Key, I-if I never moved t-there he w-wouldn't have d-died." It ached Kibum's heart to see his love cry. Especially blaming himself for what happened.
The paramedics have taken the deceased body to forensics for further investigation; the police men and detectives taking thorough notes of what Jonghyun has witnessed. "I'm so sorry you had to witness something like that, Mr. Kim. We promise to catch the person who did this. In the meantime, why don't you go and get some rest. We'll alert you if we find anything."
"Babe, let's go home." Arriving back at Kibum's home, he carried the smaller into the bedroom, laying him down on the bed, removing his shoes and tucking him in. As he turned around to leave, Jonghyun grabbed his wrist. "S-stay with me?" He nodded. Spooning the other, he placed warm kisses on his neck and whispered sweet and comforting words. "Sleep well, boo. I love you."

It took a few days, but Jonghyun began returning to his normal self. He was quite shaken up from what he witnessed a few days ago. Kibum had been nothing but loving and supporting. He held him through every nightmare and through every sob.
Jonghyun was now on semester break, just in time for the holidays. He spent more time at Kibum's, still too nervous to go back to the apartment complex. Kibum didn't mind one bit. "Are you sure I'm doing this right?" The couple decided to have an in-home-date, baking cookies and cakes. "Key, you put too much flour in." He chucked. "Here, allow me."
Soft music was playing the background, the other workers were on holiday, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of sweets. It was a perfect serene area. While Kibum tending back to the mixing, this time doing it correctly, Jonghyun tapped on his shoulder. But he didn't move his head.
"Senpaiiiii. Notice meeee." Jonghyun whined. "Babe, what is-" Kibum cut himself off when seeing the look the smaller had displayed.

That was before Jonghyun threw a large whiff of baking flour in his face. "Oh, this means war."

He stood outside, watching the couple. He figured Jonghyun would acknowledge the beautiful masterpiece he created with Mr. Oh the other day. But no, he called the police, not being thankful for the step he took with that. "I'll do something even better for him to notice me." He chuckled sinisterly.

AUTHORS NOTE:
Wow, this quite a long chapter. I hope you didn't mind. 😅 My mind was just puking all these ideas out. lol. But, how was that?? I hope that by included the slightly gore scene that I, 1. Didn't make anyone uncomfortable and 2. That you liked it. It needed something new. I also included two different parts of what the stalker was doing and thinking. You got double! Yass.
But honestly that picture of Jonghyun melts my heart. ☺️❤️ THE CUTENESS. I want nothing more than to squish his cheeks. 😚
