"Crystal...Taemin's trying to apologize. Please come out...we need to talk." I wretched for the second time into the toilet, my breakfast I ate a couple hours prior, coming up and burning the back of the throat. I could hear Jonghyun crying, and Minho consoling him somewhere in the hotel room. Key was trying to coax me out of the bathroom, but it wasn't working.
This was not what I envisioned when I arrived to New York. Fuck that stupid kid named Taemin. I heard Key get frustrated and say something in muffled Korean to Jinki who took Key's place in front of the bathroom door. I had finally got my gut to stop retching. I was still crying however.
"Crystal. Can I come in? Please?" Jinki asked sweetly. I let out a breath and managed to unlock the door and Jinki opened it, seeing my face, he frowned but took my face in his hands. "Hey. I'm sorry, we asked the housekeeper to put Taemin's letter in your room. I didn't think you would react so strongly to it." Jinki said, letting go of my face and pulling to cold water handle toward him and grabbing a washcloth and soaking it under the now running faucet. He washed my face, the cool washcloth feeling great against my hot face. His eye looked down at the toilet that still had my vomit floating in it and he frowned, moving to flush it, but I beat him to it.
"Sorry. I didn't want you to see me like this...I guess it was too soon to push for contact yet. I just...need time." I said, putting the toilet seat lid down and sitting on it. Key appeared in the doorway.
"Crystal, are you okay?" Jinki asked Key something in Korean and he responded briefly with the shake of his head. I nod.
"Yeah, just give me some time. I just had a flashback. That's all." I said, wiping my face with the cool washcloth again. Jinki opened his arms and I welcomed his embrace. It was true, he was soft, yet still very masculine. He pulled away and took the washcloth from me running it back under the faucet again.
"I needed to talk to you about Taemin anyway. The company has fined him 750,000 dollars and he's on a completely different schedule for the next month. He's also seeing a therapist to work through his issues. He's pretty upset at himself and he knows what he did was wrong Crystal. He's really a good kid..." I glared at Jinki.
"Yeah, a good kid that nearly raped me Jinki. I'll believe it when I see it. Taemin knew what he was doing."
"He wasn't in his right mind..." Jinki once again tried to defend Taemin, but I wasn’t having it.
"It doesn't excuse poor behavior...look, I just need to time. It looks like SM and Sony are giving me that. I'm strong, I'll get through this." I said, wiping the remaining tears on some Kleenex. Key yelled at Jinki in Korean and Jinki rushed back out into the living where he grabbed his phone and talked with whoever was on the other end. I turned back around and stared at my reflection in the huge mirror and I saw Jonghyun approach me from behind. I was too busy drying my eyes to care. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Hey, are you going to be okay?" I nod. His eyes were puffy, like he too had been crying. "I knew about the note, I urged Taemin to write it, you know...to get his feelings out. I didn't know you were going to get sick over it..."
"Jonghyun, I had a flashback. I can't control them once they're triggered."
"Taemin's letter triggered a flashback?" I simply nod again. He started tearing up again.
"God I'm stupid. I should've known better. I'm so sorry." Minho appeared in the doorway.
"Hey, Jonghyun, Jinki needs to see you." Jonghyun let go of me and nodded and left the bathroom. I walked out of the bathroom shutting the light off.
"I saw the letter." Minho said simply. "You have every right to feel what you feel. I haven't been able to be in the same room with Taemin for the past month..."
"Hey Minho, Crystal, manager-hyung wants to meet with us tomorrow first thing in the morning, If we're going to do any shopping we’ll need to go soon. There's a grocery store close by as well as some other little shops within walking distance..."
"We all can't go! Our fans will tear us to pieces." Key exclaimed.
"That's why I'm sending you and her as soon as manager-hyung gets here with the company credit card. That reminds me..." Jinki turned to me as I walked back into the bathroom to run some water over my face and get this blasted facial hair off. "Crystal, while you’re out, I want you to find this bank, open an account and deposit your check into it." Jinki said, looking into his phone for the name of the bank. He scribbled the name and address onto some hotel stationary and handed it to me. I had never heard of this bank before, but obviously it was where all the rich and soon to be rich people put their money so the US government couldn’t dip its greedy hands into it and take their 40%. Not sure how this was completed but whatever. I’m sure the process would be explained to me soon enough.
"So, how long do I have before he gets here? Enough time for a small nap?"
"No, you might want to put some makeup or something on maybe…Key will you help her take that crap off her face?" Jinki asked looking at Key. Key grabbed something from the front pocket of his bag and rushed over to me as I was stepping out of the bathroom. He gently collided with me, pushing me back into the bathroom. He grabbed some Kleenex and squirted whatever was in the white bottle he was holding all over the Kleenex, dampening it. The familiar fumes coming from the Kleenex hit my nose and I knew it was acetone.
"Hold still." Key said as he roughly rubbed the tissue against my chin and the hair was off in three swipes. It took about 7 swipes and three more tissues soaked in acetone to get the faux mustache off my face.
"You can probably take those bandages off. The police are escorting the fans off the property to allow for some privacy." I smile at the word privacy. I knew I had traded that in the moment I signed that contract.
"Okay," I said simply as I made my way out of the bathroom, leaving Key to clean up the mess he made in my bathroom. I went into my empty bedroom and peeled off both the sweater and tank top before working on getting the bandages off. I rolled the stretchy fabric back up and placed it in the same drawer as my bras and underwear before taking out a bra and putting it on. I grabbed my tank top and pulled it back over my head. I looked through the drawers in the bedroom trying to find my make-up bag and perfumes I packed, but I was coming up empty.
"Hey Jinki? Where’s my make-up bag?" I asked, projecting my voice so he could hear me.
"Oh! It’s on the top shelf of the closet." Jinki responded. I went to find it and sure enough it was there. I dumped it out and organized them on my vanity before putting on my make-up. I spray on some perfume and take my hair out of the pony tail it was in before running a brush through my hair and deciding to stick with the ponytail seeing my hair kinked by the ponytail. Feeling okay with my appearance I walked back out into the living room. I heard Jonghyun whistle at only to be hit by Minho and scolded by Key. I let out a laugh.
"You guys are so silly…when is Jin coming?"
"He should be here in about five minutes." Jinki said, as I sat between him and Minho on the couch. They were watching something on TruTV and I quickly become engrossed in it when there’s a knock at the door. I sit up to get it when Jinki puts a hand on my shoulder and pulls me back down again.
"Sit, I’ll get it." He said, getting up and opening the door. Jin looks surprisingly how I thought he would look, pretty ordinary.
He pulls Jinki into a hug, and greets him before walking into the hotel room. He’s talking in Korean and I can’t really understand what he’s saying. I look up at him. Minho leans into me.
"Now the time you want to stand up and greet him properly." I stand up, wiping my suddenly sweaty palms on my denim jeans before offering my hand to shake while bowing.
"Anneyeonghaseyo! Je ireumeun Crystal imnida. Sunghami utduke dweshimnikga?"
"Oh my God, so formal! You taught her well Minho…my name is Jin. It’s finally great to meet-eu you, I know English is your first language. I will try to speak it well for your sake. I must say though, you are very beautiful, even more so in person." Jin said, his eyes skimming over me while taking my hand and choosing to kiss it instead. I had a weird vibe come from him but I chose to ignore it and smiled at him and he let go of my hand and dug into his back pocket to grab the company card out of his wallet before handing it to Jinki.
"So, how old are you Crystal? You have a daughter from what I hear."
"Yeah, I’m 27 and I have a five year old girl."
"Ah, they’re so innocent at that age. You will be at the meeting tomorrow right?"
"Meeting? Oh yeah, tomorrow right?"
"Yeah, did they tell you what time?" Jinki laughed nervously before bowing and apologizing while I shook my head. "You have a meeting with us first thing in the morning at 7 am." I shot a glare at Jinki before looking back at Jin again.
"Thank you for letting me know. I’ll be there."
"Good. You can wear whatever makes you comfortable, and you won’t need make-up either…actually its preferred that you don’t wear make-up." I frowned and nodded.
"Um…okay? If you don’t mind me asking, why do I need to be so casual? It’s a business meeting isn’t it?"
"It is, but you’ll be busy with doctor’s appointments afterwards…"
"This is about plastic surgery isn’t it?" He didn’t say anything, knowing that he had already dug himself into a hole he wasn’t getting out of. "Figures."
"There’s always room for improvement right?" He said, and I could’ve sworn lasers were about to shoot from Minho’s and Key’s eyes. Jin looked around and laughed nervously as he backed his way up to the door.
"Look I’ll see you guys tomorrow. It was nice meeting you Crystal, goodbye." Jin said as he opened the door and disappeared, closing it behind him. Key said something in Korean which got a resounding response.
"Don’t mind him Crystal, sometimes his brain shuts off and he says mindless things…" Jonghyun said, shaking his head.
"Don’t worry you guys; I already prepared myself for this."
"You just got here to New York though…"
"We’re on a schedule, this whole thing with Taemin’s pushed them back a few weeks, I can’t keep them waiting forever guys. It’s now or never really. If that means I’m pushing my body to its limits, so be it."
"Crystal, you can’t be serious…" Key said, frowning hearing my depressed demeanor.
"Oh I am…drop dead serious actually. Quite literally..." I said, crossing my arms over my chest while meeting Key's stare.
"Okay I've heard enough..." Minho said, grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the bedroom. "I'm not going to do anything guys, I'm just going to talk some sense into Miss. Debbie-Downer here." I rolled my eyes as he led me away. I heard Jinki say something under his breath in Korean.
Minho led me to the bedroom and closed the door before pinning against the closed door.
"What is going on with you? You were just in a good mood, do I have to kiss it out of you?" Minho said, his lips just a millimeter away from mine before his lips touched mine. The kiss turned heated and we kissed passionately for a minute or so before he pulled away.
"Please cheer up, I love you, I don't think you need anything, but you are working for the company and you have to do as they say. Please Jagiya...please cheer up for me." His lips met mine again and I wrapped my arms around him, he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around him as we continued our passionate lip lock. "Nngh..." He tried to pull away but I pulled him in again and he let out a laugh against my lips. "Crystal, we have to stop, I told my hyungs that I wouldn't do anything." I frowned and unwrapped my legs from around his waist and let myself down.
"Okay, I suppose. I'm only letting you go because I need toiletries and I don't want Key's wrath." I said, kissing his lips once more before I open the door. I shot a smile to the guys.
"Whatever Minho did worked, that smile looks good on you." Jinki said, smiling at me. "I took the liberty of ordering you guys a driver to come pick you up. I want you guys to go to Walmart, that way you can get everything you need." I nod as I ruffle my fingers through Jinki's hair and it's surprisingly soft. He blushes and moves his head away.
"Aw...Jinki's bashful." He blushed deeper and this caused everyone to laugh.
"Hey, you should pick up some beer..." Jonghyun said, looking up at me.
"Why?" Key asked, looking down at Jonghyun as he took the company card from Jinki.
"I don't know, I want a beer or two. Maybe have a celebratory drink to welcome Crystal to New York?"
"I'm down. Can't get wasted, but I can have a beer...we should order some food in tonight too...Pizza? Is there a good pizza place nearby..."
"Yeah! But we can do that tonight when you guys get back, you and Key can pick up lunch, we got some leftover food Key cooked yesterday for us." I nod and look at Key who's nodding.
"Sounds good. Where's the nearest Walmart and is there any particular beer you like?"
"A ways away...as far as beer goes get whatever. We're not picky, if it tastes good to you, I'm sure we'll enjoy it." Jinki said, looking up at me. I nod, grabbing my purse. "Why don't you two head down now, I'll call you when the car's here."
"Okay." Key said, "Minho can I hold your girlfriend's hand? I promise I'll behave myself."
"Sure." Minho said, eying Key suspiciously. Key's fingers laced with my own and I felt butterflies begin to form in my tummy.
"What are you guys going to do while we're gone?"
"Probably go back to our dorm and rest." I frowned. I wanted sleep.
"Don't worry princess, I'll treat you to some Starbucks on the way there, you'll need it." Key said as he led me to the door. I stepped into my sandals and ran and hand through my hair to smooth out any baby hairs peeking out of my ponytail.
"See you guys later." I said, bidding goodbye to the guys.
"Bye!" The guys said as Key opened the door and I walked out into the elevator lobby. I was about push the 'down' button but Key was quick and beat me to it.
"Have you ever been to Gucci or Prada?" I shook my head, sneering in disgust.
"Why would I want to spend two thousands dollars on a handbag?"
"Because you can now?" Key said, looking at me. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Just because I can doesn't mean it's the best thing to do. I'm hard enough on shit without having to worry about scratching a leather purse or anything like that..."
"Well, we're going to stop by there today. I don't care what you have to say about it either." I rolled my eyes again as the elevator dinged and the doors opened. We walked in and Key laced his fingers with mine again, causing me to look at him. "I mean it Crystal, if you see something you like, don't worry about the cost. The company will pay for it. I'll take you all down 5th Avenue this is your new life now. You have a credit card with no limit, Crystal, seriously, what more could you want?" Key said, pressing the L button on the elevator panel before looking at me. I raised my eyebrow at him and shrugged.
"There's a lot of things I want Key, but I don't think any of the stores on 5th Avenue can give me what I want..."
"There's a few chocolatiers and gourmet restaurants worth checking out too if you're interested..." I smiled, I knew Key wasn't as big of a foodie as I was but hell, New York was at our disposal now.
"Now you're speaking my language." I said, my smile growing wider as Key and I made eye contact. Key wrapped his arm around me.
"I thought so. You're so cute you know that?" Key said, and I blushed.
"Thanks." I said, glancing up at him again as his arm left me and we now stood side by side waiting for the elevator to reach the lobby and the doors to open. Once the doors opened to the lobby, I made a bee line to the beverage area and grabbed a complimentary bottle of Fiji water.
"Crystal, grab me one too." I heard Key say from behind me, so I did. I walked back to him and handed him his bottle of water while sitting next to him on the couch before cracking mine open and drinking nearly half of it in one go. Key watched me slack-jawed. "Fuck...thirsty much?" I shot him a look before pulling the bottle from my lips and twisting the cap back on the 550ml bottle. I was feeling feisty.
"Yes, very. Are you jealous or something?"
"Jealous? No…" He blushed deeply and grabbed a throw pillow and covered his lap with it. "Just never mind." Key said annoyed, taking a sip of his water. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"What’s your problem?" I asked, looking at him. He took a deep breath; obviously something I did bothered him.
"Nothing…it’s nothing." Just then, his cell phone went off playing some K-pop song, he answered it quickly. I didn’t really pay attention to what he was saying since I couldn’t understand it anyway. "Our car’s here. It’s the black Rolls Royce parked outside." Key said nonchalantly. My eyes widened.
"Dude, a Rolls Royce? What the hell!?!? I’m not famous yet…"
"That doesn’t mean you can’t ride in style…" I eyed him suspiciously.
"I’m not used to any of this, Key. I have never seen a Rolls Royce let alone ridden in one. I haven’t been to Prada or Gucci or any of those high fashion retail stores. I feel so out of place." Key pushed the throw pillow aside and got up, offering his hand. I took his hand and got up off the couch a well. We walked hand in hand toward the hotel exit.
"Just don’t freak out. There’s our ride." Key said, as he nodded toward a black luxury car. Yep, that was a freaking fancy ride. It was black with dark privacy glass covering the back windows. The driver must have been familiar with Key because the driver recognized him and opened the door.
"Good Morning Mr. Kim and Miss. Hammock where are we going today?" I was shocked when the guy already knew my name. Jinki must have told him who I was.
"Can we find a Starbucks nearby first. I am craving a double shot espresso…"
"Certainly Mr. Kim, we can do that, how are you doing today Miss. Hammock?"
"I’m doing good…and you?" I asked my eyes meeting the tall, middle aged man.
"I’m doing great."
"Crystal…come on…" Key whined from inside the car. I rolled my eyes and stepped into the car, sitting down on the real leather seat. The car was really nice and kept impeccably clean. I put on my seatbelt as the driver closed the door. "Crystal…selfie time." Key said as he wrapped an arm around my neck and held his arm out with his phone’s camera pointed toward us. I smiled and did the typical peace sign, making sure I was looking into the camera as I heard the shutter noise. "Hey, wanna piss Minho off?"
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Are you sure that’s a good idea?"
"Oh what’s the worse he’s going to do? Here, watch…" He held his phone out again and he pressed his lips against my cheek. With a hand over my mouth I widened my eyes in a mock-shocked expression and looked into the camera again as the shutter sound went off. He pulled away as soon as the picture was taken.
"Ooh, nice expression. You got the aegyo flowing. I love it." Key said, as he did the necessary effects and posted both pictures on his instagram. He looked at me. "Do you have an instagram?"
"Yeah, actually I’m one of your followers."
"What? Really? Wow and you didn’t know that we were coming? I think I put up like 20 random pictures that day."
"Well, I don’t go on there often…I go on there…maybe once a month, if that. I don’t even have the app on my phone anymore." I said, crossing one leg over the other. Suddenly Key grabbed my purse and took out my phone. "What are you doing?"
"Putting instagram back on your phone, social media will be the pinnacle of your life. Trust me on this." Key said, swiping the lock on my phone and going into the Google Play Store before frowning. "Your phone is so fucking slow. We should get you a new one."
"Um…that costs money." I said, going to grab my phone back from him but he moved it out of my reach and the seat belt I had on was restricting my movement. "Key seriously, don’t make me unbuckle my seat belt. Give me my fucking phone back."
"I have the company credit card remember? And no, ooh…what is this? Oh my God…is this what I think it is? Asian fan fics…ooh…you write that fan fiction don’t you? I got to see some of the stories you’ve written…"
"No Key, seriously, you don’t want to…" I said trying to unbuckle my seatbelt.
"Ooh one-shots…I like one-shots…let’s see…ooh…Another Part of Key…let’s see…bring it on buttercup? That’s something I would not say. Bor-ing…ooh what’s Wrestling Match about…" I finally got unbuckled and grabbed my phone from the nosy boy before he could read anymore.
"You’re a dick. You know that?"
"Aw…" He pouted, before grabbing my phone again and it became a tug of war. "…Just let me read it…" I knew it was a smut chapter starring him and I.
"You really want to read it? Fine, but I’m warning you, you won’t like it."
"We’ll see about that…" Key said as I let the phone go and he began reading my story. My heart was racing with anxiety.
"OH MY GOD! Here take your phone back…" I felt a smirk dance upon my face. I could tell that Key was deeply disturbed and he crossed his legs. "That was…hm…that definitely changed how I feel about you…"
"For the better I hope?" I said sarcastically, knowing I had aroused suspicion in the man.
"No, now I know you’re a freaking pervert and that I’m not safe around you…" I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Fuck you. You’re not safe around me, my ass…" I said shooting him an incredulous glance.
"We’re buying you a new phone though." Key reluctantly bean-dipped.
"As long as it’s not an Apple, I’ll be fine." I said, looking at Key while tossing my phone back into my purse.
"What’s wrong with Apple?"
"I don’t like their phones. Their laptops are great, but they’re expensive."
"They’re good quality." Key argued.
"Not if you set them down on a counter and they crack. That’s not good quality. Do you have any idea how many cracked I-phone screens I’ve seen in my time working at the hotel?"
"No…"
"Too many to keep track, I’m not spending five to six hundred dollars for a phone I have to baby just to keep the warranty on the thing. It’s not worth it."
"Fine, but we’re still going to the Apple store."
"That’s fine by me Key, do you have to turn everything into a heated debate to feed your drama llama?"
"My—what?" Key said, looking at me at the side of his eyes with a strange look.
"Never mind Key, just never mind." I said shaking my head.
"Hmph."
The driver pulled up to the drive-thru of Starbucks and Key ordered is double shot Americano with cream and 15 sugars, while I ordered a tall iced white chocolate mocha with an extra shot of espresso. After paying and receiving our drinks and extra sugar packets, we were headed toward fifth avenue. Our first stop was the first Prada store that Key saw from a half of a mile away. The guy had an eagle eye.
We walked into the luxury retail store and I was already overwhelmed by the expensive looking handbags and various display tables. There was a petite blonde in her mid-thirties who walked up to us. I glanced at her name badge. Jeanine. There were other people in the store browsing, but only a few.
We were there about a half an hour and I picked out several things with some coaxing from Key. We walked across the street and hit up Tiffany's and Gucci inside the Trump Tower. In which I got to meet Donald Trump when we went to Trump Grill for lunch. He was pretty peculiar as he asked me right away what my stance was on politics. I was so nervous but when I told him I was a conservative and how I felt on certain aspects he offered me his card.
"You have a good head on your shoulders. Call me if you ever need anything." I blushed of course, taking his card. Key was shocked throughout the entire encounter. Donald Trump had to let us go because he was running late for some appointments.
"Holy shit, you met the Donald Trump and made him a friend..."
"I sorta knew he was a conservative...I was not expecting that at all...feel my pulse." I said, grabbing Key's hand and putting his forefinger in my throat in the general vicinity where my pulse was. He withdrew his hand quickly. His uneasiness showing on his face and through his actions.
"You handled that like a pro. I think you'll do well Crystal." Key said, as our food arrived. We had ordered some bruschetta to start off with and I had ordered a Lobster BLT with sweet potato fries, in which Key helped to eat since he settled on a small Ivanka's Salad.
Key pays the $50 tab with a swipe with the company card and we head back out. Overall, the money spent was well in the tens of thousands after everything was purchased they were pretty much all accessories, like a clutch, a new handbag, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses…Key was really clever too, but I was more so. While he was trying to hide the price from me, I found ways of finding out how much everything ended up costing. I wasn’t happy.
"Crystal, cheer up!"
"How can I be happy knowing this handbag was enough to feed me and Jasmine for six months Key…how can I be happy knowing that these shoes alone are about the amount I got back from the government every year for a tax refund…not to mention that necklace? That was what I made a year working at the Hampton Inn Key…is this not comprehending to you at all?" He nervously laughed while carrying my bags.
"They’re nice though, aren’t they?" He asked his eyes meeting mine.
"Yes, Key, they’re nice, but they’re too expensive, seriously. I could’ve gone without the $800 sunglasses."
"They frame your face perfectly. I wasn’t letting you put them back." I rolled my eyes and got into the Rolls Royce as the driver put the bags in the trunk. "Is that the last store, are there any other places you want to drag me to?"
"Why do you have to say it like that? Seriously? You should appreciate this chance."
"I’ve lived 27 years without shopping at Prada, Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren or any other of the fucking overpriced stores you’ve taken me to today. I think I’ve managed just fine without it. You can take this stuff back for all I care and give the company back their money." Key frowned.
"This is a gift from the company to you…what part of that do you not understand?"
"I get that, but still…I’m not used to spending this much money on these items. I’m kind of shell-shocked that a clutch costs a shit-load of money…you could’ve taken to on a shopping spree at Walmart and I would’ve been happy."
"I see…well you can do this now, besides you like what we got right?" I can’t help but smile and nod. "Good." Key said patting my knee. We stop by the Apple Store on the way to Walmart and I pick up a 15 inch Mac Book. I was contemplating on getting an I-phone but decided to forgo that for either the latest Samsung, or LG phone instead. We stopped by the bank, and I opened up an account with them before depositing my check into it. They issued me a temporary card so I could have immediate access to my money. I gave them my address to the hotel so they could send me my permanent.
By the time we got to Walmart, it was pushing 7pm. I was dragging ass and beginning to get cranky. I picked up some feminine products as well as some toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. After picking up all my toiletries I needed, I decided it was a good time to grab some groceries as well. I also picked up a12 pack of Bud Light and Corona Beer, few bottles of Yellow Tail Cabernet Savignon.
Key picked up some things he needed, and we agreed to meet at register 12 when we were finished. When I was pretty sure I was finished shopping I met up with Key who was patiently waiting for me. We checked out and got in the Rolls Royce again and headed back out toward the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we were met with Minho and Jonghyun and each of us carried 4-6 bags back up to my hotel room with the driver helping as well…it still wasn’t enough hands. Key got Jinki to help us since Taemin was with Jin doing whatever they were doing, and it took one more trip before everything was brought up.
Jonghyun and Minho helped me put away everything while Key and Jinki ordered pizza for everyone and once everything was put away, I grabbed a Corona as joined the guys out on the balcony. Minho came over to me, and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind his head resting on my shoulder.
"Did you have fun shopping with Kibum?" Minho asked, I ran my hands over his arms covering my waist.
"Key's got...very expensive taste, I'll put it that way." I said looking out at the twilight that was starting to overtake the horizon. Minho let out a laugh. Meanwhile Jinki moved over to allow us to stand on the balcony next to him and I went to open my beer but forgot that Corona bottles didn't have the easy, twist off caps.
"Here." Jinki said grabbing my beer and taking his keys out of his pocket and popping off my cap with his keys. I look over at him.
"Thank you Jinki." I said, a smile coming over my face as Jinki handed my beer back to me. I could sense that Minho was glaring at him. He smiled uncomfortably. I suppose Jinki felt like an odd 5th wheel, you had Jonghyun and Key cuddling with some beers in the corner of the balcony and Minho and I in a lover's embrace right next to him, I kind of felt sorry for the man.
"I'll leave you two alone..."
"Jinki you can stay. Can't he Minho? He's not hurting anyone."
"Hyung you can stay, I just don't think its a wise idea for you to have anything to drink after last night..."
"Minho I'm fine," I said, trying to peel his arms off of me, but he only wrapped them around me tighter.
"I'm just looking out for you Jagiya." I let out a breath, knowing that Minho was feeling possessive. Why was he so worried? I loved him, not his band mates. I took a sip of the Mexican beer, enjoying the taste of it as it hit my tongue.
"It's beautiful out here. Ooh look at the moon...it's a full moon tonight." I said pointing to the full moon peeking out behind one of the skyscrapers in the distance. Key was struggling against Jonghyun's vice grip of a cuddle and he said something in Korean as he was trying to see what I saw.
"Indeed, good eye Crystal." Jinki said, taking a drink of his beer. By now, Minho had let me go and was looking out on the balcony with me. My eyes averted to Jinki and he too was looking out at the scenery. I couldn't help but notice that he looked amazing in the moonlight. I almost wanted to kiss him and as quickly as Jinki noticed I was staring at him, I looked at Minho, feeling my face flush. I felt a rush of arousal coursed through me as inappropriate thoughts were on the forefront of my mind.
There was a loud knock on my door with Jinki mumbling out that he's got it. I guess according to Jonghyun, they ordered three pizzas, one pepperoni, one ham, and one meat trio. Jinki paid the driver and brought the pizzas inside where the rest of us, came inside from the balcony to grab what we wanted and I headed back out onto the balcony to absorb the scenery some more. I happily ate two pieces of ham pizza and finished my beer setting the empty bottle on the railing. Minho and Key were debating something again in Korean. Those two were always going back forth on some asinine topic the the two felt ambivalently about. Sometimes it was just a simple conversation, but other times, there was some real gnashing of teeth. Like now, Jinki and Jonghyun were thrust in the middle of their debate.
Jinki however, wasn't having any of it and came to join me on the balcony. He took a small, thin stick out of his pocket. Upon closer inspection I saw it was an electronic cigarette. He must have forgotten that I was still out here, because in mid-drag he saw me and his eyes widened in surprise as he tried to hide the small stick.
"Shit." He said, but I put a hand on his hand that held the e-cig.
"No you're fine. I already knew." He smiled cheekily, putting the e-cigarette back into his mouth and inhaling the vapor before exhaling it. "I used to smoke, I gave it up though after my mom passed away two years ago..."
"What did she die from, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Esophageal Cancer. She had been having difficulty swallowing for a while but always wrote it off as scar tissue from her radiation treatments, but when we fixed her Christmas dinner and she couldn't even swallow watered down mashed potatoes, I knew it was serious and forced her to be seen by a doctor. After a series of tests they concluded that her cancer had come back with vengeance and she was terminally ill...they didn't know how long she had."
"How long after she was diagnosed?"
"A little over 5 months. I quite my job and moved back home to take care of her, but she didn't want me to find her dead so she admitted herself into a nursing home. She went to stay with her boyfriend when she passed. She wanted to die on her own terms, not in some nursing home." Jinki glanced behind him as moved in closer to me before wrapping an arm around me, his hand on top of my left hip.
"Did she smoke?" He asked, his breath, smelling like the mentholated nicotine vapor he had been inhaling just moments before, hit my nostrils. Somehow our closeness wasn't raising red flags.
"Yeah, two pack a day habit. She quit right after she diagnosed. I quite about a month after she passed away."
"You're so strong," Jinki said, putting the electronic cigarette back into his pocket "I can't imagine what I would do if I lost my mother or my father." His fingers had managed to slip underneath my shirt as they played with the top of my hipbone that laid just underneath the fabric of my shirt. His fingers felt very hot against my bare flesh sending signals of arousal down to my womanhood. Sneaky little devil, he was using this as an opportunity to push the physical envelop. I glanced over Jinki's shoulder seeing all three of the guys in a heated debate but Jinki managed to keep what he was doing out of their sight. I didn't say anything however. I wanted to see where Jinki was going to take this. I nodded simply, his fingers now playing with the waistband of my pants.
"Well we all have to die sometime right? It's just a part of life." I said, looking up at the younger man. He nodded his eyes meeting mine. Our faces were close. A little close for my liking. His fingers were trailing upwards landing just under my bra. God, his hands were so hot on me. My head was swimming. I studied his face, as he studied my lips. He was showing some serious restraint.
"Can I...kiss?" Our eyes met again. Fuck. Kill me now. I made some kind of strangled noise that sounded like a cross between a yes, and a no...I wasn't even fucking sure. I couldn't speak right now. My mind was gone. One moment we were in a conversation the next, staring each other down. I didn't get it.
"I'm going to check on Jinki hyung, and make sure he didn't fall off the balcony..." Key's voice rang out in the apartment and Jinki left me and I snapped myself out of the trance I had once again found myself in and looked back out at the moon, my face feeling hot with embarrassment. Luckily it was dark enough to conceal my red cheeks. "Hey guys! Oh my God, that moon is gorgeous..." Key mentioned. I nodded.
"Uh...yeah...both Jinki and I were talking about it...need another beer Key?" I bean-dipped, noticing Key's nearly empty bottle.
"Uh, sure? Are you all right? You look a little strange--"
"I'm fine. Just gotta pee, I'll go get your beer after I get done." I said cutting the younger man off as I walked back inside and avoided everyone's eyes. I made into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. What the fuck was that?
I really did need to pee though. So I relieved myself, just as there was a knock on the door.
"Hey! Hurry up! I gotta pee too."
"Okay! Jesus!" I said, finishing up, pulling my underwear and pants up and flushing the toilet. Trying to make the encounters with Jonghyun and now Jinki fade off into some distant part of my mind.
It was starting to get late, the guys stuck around until a little after eleven when I kicked them out to go to their own room. I got in my pajamas and fell asleep, nervous for the next day.
