I Wanna Be (Key Fanfic)

10

Two months went by. Kibum was really busy with work, but he still managed to find time to spend with Kathryn. The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted to confess his feelings, but as a perfectionist he was waiting for the right time.

There was no denying that his heart sped up when she texted him, he felt warm inside when he was around her, and he wanted nothing more than to hold her and kiss her and tell her that he loved her.

One evening when they were hanging out at his place, he decided that it was now or never. Kathryn reached out to brush some strands out of his face and he smirked.

"I think you like me."

Kathryn was taken aback. "What?"

"Everything you do for me, it's not normal."

She blushed and didn't know how to respond. "Well it's because I care."

There was no way she'd admit to liking him first.

"I care too."

Kibum leaned in and Kate realised how close they were, the blood rushing to her cheeks again.

"I really like you Kathryn," he said softly, his gaze going from her eyes to her lips.

She didn't pull away as he gently kissed her, almost getting lost in the kiss before coming to her senses.

"We can't do this, you're my client," she spoke softly.

"Please, we've been more than that for a while now." Kibum smirked. "Do you like me?"

Kathryn blushed but nodded. "Yes."

"Then that's all that matters."

He kissed her again, this time more passionately, his hands going into her hair. Finally he could express everything he'd kept locked up inside and it felt so good.

"Be my girlfriend," he said breathlessly when he pulled away.

"Of course," she answered, already leaning in for round two. They spent that evening kissing and cuddling and she barely wanted to go home.

Kibum was her boyfriend now, and that made her feel so warm.

She decided not to tell anyone around her right away, wanting to keep it to herself. Kibum was very known so she didn't want that information to get into the wrong hands.

Three months went by as they started to get comfortable in the relationship. Kibum was preparing to do solo work but in the meantime was doing performances with the members.

At one point when they were being driven somewhere by their manager, Taemin gave Key a quizzical look before exclaiming, "why are you always smiling at your phone?"

The other boys all turned to look at him and he immediately stopped smiling. "None of your business."

"It's true," Minho started, smirking. "You always look so happy when you get a message. Who are you texting?"

"It's his girlfriend." Taemin snickered.

Kibum blushed and Jinki suddenly took interest.

"You have a girlfriend and you didn't tell us?"

"It's recent," Kibum mumbled, giving up on denying it.

"Let me guess, it's your tutor?" Minho smirked. Kibum wanted to reach across and throttle him.

"Yes."

The car was filled with 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' and demands to know everything about her.

"What does she look like?"

"Here."

Kibum gave Taemin his phone.

"Oh, she's black?"

"Yeah, and British."

"You've always liked foreign girls," Jinki commented.

"Congratulations on not being single." Taemin patted his back jokingly, prompting Kibum to roll his eyes.

"When do we meet her?" Minho asked.

"Meet her?"

Kibum hadn't had time to think about that yet. Would she want to meet them so soon?

"Don't stress, we're not forcing you," Jinki said. "It'd just be nice eventually."

"I'll think about it," he replied.

That evening he decided to talk to Kate about it over the phone. He hated phone calls usually, but for her, he'd do anything.

"Hey, I told the members today that we're together."

"How did they react?" She sounded nervous.

"They were cool with it, wanted to know everything about you."

"Okay."

"They also said they want to meet you."

"Meet me?"

"Is that something you'd be up for?"

"Umm... I guess?"

Kibum smiled. "They'll be nice to you."

"What if they don't like me?"

"They will. Don't worry."

She sighed. "It's just that they're important to you and I want to give a good impression. This feels harder than meeting your parents."

Kibum laughed, but he understood. "Don't worry. I'll be there and I'll make sure it isn't awkward."

"Alright then, I trust you."

Kibum smiled. Now the most important people in his life would finally get to know each other.
