somewhere only we know ; kji

part 10 ; blur

I could hear faint sounds of birds chirping outside. I opened my eyes and found his arms were still lacing onto my body, wrapping mine. 

I took a glance on the clock and it was 9 a.m. already. I looked up and saw his peaceful sleeping face with his pink plump lips partly opened. I didn't realize how long I was staring until he adjusted his position.

"Good morning to you too" he didn't even open his eyes yet but a smile creeped up his face.

"How would you know I was already up" I muffled to his chest, embarrassed that I got caught staring, again.

"I just knew, it's called sense" he looked straight into my eyes. "Have I ever told you, you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen."

"Quit flirting, it's still early" I playfully hit him on the chest and sat up.

"Where are you going, stoop" he pouted and pulled my hand just to lay down with him again.

"I need to go to the bathroom, it's urgent" I pulled back and ran towards the bathroom.

"Why are you ruining lazy mornings!!" he shouted but it was followed by a giggle.

"What are you making?" I said as I walked down the stairs, seeing him cook for two days straight was something else. We could barely have breakfast together but now we had the chance to eat and spend two days together was truly a blessing.

"Just scrambled eggs," he turned around as I sat on the kitchen's stool. "Ah just I remembered, I actually have to drop and pick something up from the headquarters, do you want to come with me?"

"What do you have to pick up?" I rested my head on my arms as he moved the eggs from the pan onto the plate.

"I don't know either, the manager just told me to come over to pick up some things" he shrugged and took a bite of the dish.

"What time will we leave?" I took a glance on the clock and it showed 9.45 a.m.

"Probably 10.30? Do you mind?" 

"Okay, I'll shower now then" I cupped his face and turned around, walking towards the stairs to go to the bathroom.

"Let me join!"

"Nope!" 

We eventually left the house at 11 a.m. since he was so busy dealing with his hair and outfit, even though we were only going to drop and pick something up from the headquarters. He didn't want to admit it but I knew he secretly agreed that he's the king of extra.

He hold my hand as we walked through the lobby, bowing at every person he recognized and did small talks with someone I didn't know.

 "Where are we going?" I asked as we walked in the elevator.

"The practice room, the manager wanted me to meet him there" he said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

The elevator made a sound and the door opened, revealing someone with a striped shirt and a black cap. I couldn't see his face because he was looking down to his phone.

"What are you doing here on a peaceful Sunday?" Jongin spoke up as the guy walked into the elevator.

"The question is yours too, nice to see you man" the guy laughed and went for a hug with Jongin, leaving me standing confused.

"I didn't expect to see you here, ah here's Keiko" he pulled back from the hug and stepped back to introduce me. 

"Ah this is the Keiko you've been blabbering about, nice to meet you, I'm Taemin" he gave the warmest smile someone could ever imagine, his smile was the kind that reaches his eyes. 

"He's my best friend throughout high school," Jongin playfully hit him on the upper arm, ah- this was the Taemin that was always in his stories.

"Nice to meet you" we exchanged hand shakes but the elevator rang again, signaling that we arrived in the destined floor.

"I need to go, see you around?" Jongin patted his friend's shoulder and proceeded to walk out the elevator with me tailing from behind. I waved at him just before the door closed again.

We got into the practice room and met his manager there. Jongin went straight to his business. I walked around the pretty wide room and thought to myself, now I know where he spent most of his days during the busy times. This was actually my first time in the practice room even though he asked me to come with him to go to the headquarters all the time. 

We spent around one hour there and as we walked to the lobby I heard loud noises, shouts and arguing people from the glass doors.

Jongin looked to me and raised one of his eyebrows at me, it was like he was asking what were happening at the moment. I shrugged and proceeded to walk to the lobby.

As I walked I saw someone with a black cap and half faced mask yelling something not clearly understandable. I glanced to his fast hand motion and he pulled out a gun and aim it to the ceiling.

The action happened so fast I couldn't even tell anyone that he has a gun,

But then, he pulled the trigger.
