SHINee | CRUSHED. (editing but complete)

Chapter 10 - I have a Confession...

The morning after all the action, the couples were all snuggled up close. Whitney and Key's lips were millimetres away from eachother. Jonghyun and Niya were led on eachother, his arms tightly around her. Minho and Jasmine were sleeping back to back but still looked happy together.

Onew and Zoe had been awake for ages cuddling and 'eskimo kissing' they were such a sweet couple. Since they got together there hasn't been a moment when their hands weren't entwined or their lips weren't touching. They usually stuck to eachother like glue. Onew and Zoe giggled, they had to be quiet so not to wake the others but they couldn't help it. They were in love. Onew nibbled Zoe's lip flirtatiously. Zoe smiled and blushed.

"Onew-ah.." She moaned slowly. Onew smiled and pulled Zoe into another kiss. 

Taemin and Jessica on the other hand felt awkward and had slept top and tail on the sofa. Jessica had her eyes closed and thought about Key and Taemin. Did she really like Taemin? She still had feelings toward Key but she knew he liked Whitney, it was such a heartache for her. She was torn between two boys with very different personalities. Taemin was sweet, but very awkward. Key on the other hand wasn't afraid to show anything, and was a diva in his own way. That's what she liked. But she knew it would never work out. She felt she should sleep on it. Jessica finally went back to sleep but then Taemin was awake. He sat upwright but tried not to make a noise, so not to wake his hyungs. He looked at Jessica and smiled, he really liked her but couldn't show it. He was too embarressed but really wanted to. He finally worked up the courage to kiss her today.

He got up slowly and went to the kitchen to make her breakfast. He made her a small bowl of cereal and rehearsed what he was going to say in his head as he waited for her to wake up. 

Jessica rolled in her sleep and started to moan. She was smiling. Taemin watched her. Her moans got louder, but she began to sleep-talk. 

"mmhnmmn, Key... I mhmmm love.. myouu..." She mumbled. Taemin's eyes widened. 

"What?" He questioned out loud. He walked over and listened.

"I really mhmmnh, like you... mmmKey." She repeated. Taemin felt a small lump in the back of his throat. He held his chest from the pain he felt.

She likes Key? He thought to himself.

He decided to wake her and question her on this so he shook her softly.

"Jessica...? Jess?" He whispered. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at Taemin.

"Taeminnie~?" She whined sweetly. Taemin's face held a frown, but as she stared at him with her perfect brown eyes it turned to a smile and he decided not to question her yet. Jessica sat up and hugged Taemin. He didn't reject but he didn't hug back either. 

"Is this for me Taeminnie?" She said in a high pitch voice. Taemin nodded, he had a feeling that if he spoke he would burst into a fit of blubbering sobs. She smiled and thanked him before quickly taking a few mouthfuls. Taemin decided he couldn't keep it in any longer he had to tell her how he felt before it was too late.

"Jessica...?"

"Taemin...?" They said simultaneously. They both laughed then looked at each other seriously. 

"Let's both say it at the same time...?" Taemin suggested sheepishly.

"Ne~" Jessica agreed.

"Hana, Tul.. Set!" Taemin said.

"I like Key!" Jessica squealed.

"I love you!" Taemin murmured.

"What?!" They both said simultaneously again. Taemin's eyes teared up.

"I knew it!" He cried out and jumped onto the sofa and buried his head in the pillow.

"Taemin.." Jessica felt a pain of guilt strike her heart like a knife. She walked over and rubbed Taemin's back. Taemin sobbed louder and pushed her away.

"Go away!" He scolded and buried himself more. The loud crying and shouting alerted the other couples who all, more or less, ran to the living room where the drama was. 

"What's going on?!" Key's voice sounded worried and he looked at Jessica with a firm serious face. Jessica stared at the people surrounding and felt more guilty.

Why did I do this to Taemin..? She thought.

"Will someone please answer me?!" He questioned again this time running over to Taemin and sitting next to him whilst rubbing his back. Onew and Zoe ran, there hands locked, towards Jessica. Jessica was stunned, she couldn't believe what she had just done.

"What happened Jess?!" Zoe questioned. Jessica's stare stayed blank. Jonghyun and Niya looked at eachother, no one had any idea what had happened. Minho and Jasmine ran to Taemin's side with banana milk. Key smiled and got Taemin to stop sobbing. Taemin slurped at the milk. He was still breathing slightly fast and the rest of them let him calm down.
