The Shadows We Pass [JONGHO]

Chapter 1: It's a different feeling

Jinki dropped a box on the floor, "It's moving day guys."
My heart was heavy separating from the other members.

It was moving day today. Now I know what you're thinking, no, SHINee is not disbanding. We've just decided its time to move out of our dorms and into houses. As a band, we don't make much money for being decently popular. We're only able to pay for 2 bedroom houses. So we had to separate ourselves into groups of 2, exceptionally one house with 3 people. It was a hard change, but we felt as if we were mature enough for this.

My roommate is Kim Jonghyun. Charming, short, ha, brightest person I know. I didn't expect to get paired with him, but I guess we can make this work.
Meanwhile, Taemin is just boobing over separation from me and Jonghyun. He hugged us both tightly, not letting go.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much!" He balled.

I guess I forgot to introduce the band members to you. Well, the emotional wreck is Lee Taemin. Then there's the slightly more mature ones, Kim Ki-bum and Lee Jinki. And of course, my roommate, or should I say, housemate is Kim Jonghyun.

"Hey hey, calm yourself Taemin, well still see eachother all the time!" Jonghyun reassured the crying maknae, "it's going to be alright."
"Well I guess we'll let you two be since we finished moving all the boxes in. We still have our place to set up." Kibum announced, placing his hand on the door knob.

"Let's go Taemin," Jinki laughed, grabbing Taemin by his wrist, dragging him along with the others. "Well see you later!"

And with that they left out o our house. Jonghyun and I just sat on the couch, staring at the boxes as if they were going to get unpacked themselves.
"Hey Jong, look at all these boxes," I nudged his arm as if he were ever going to unpack them all for me.
He laughed loudly and got up, "Very funny Minho! As if I'd unpack your boxes. I don't even know what you want to do with your stuff." Jonghyun smiled widely at me, "I'll be unpacking my things now."

Being the me I am, I just watched as Jonghyun unpacked the living room decor. Slowly, but surely my eyes started drooping. My vision blured, until finally, I was out.

*******

Hours passed, I had finally woken up from that cat nap. I stood up, to my surprise, Jonghyun had unpacked every box. At this point, I felt horrible for letting him do all that. Until I walked into my bedroom and saw all of my boxes and a note.

Hey Minho,
I unpacked the boxes around the house, but I left yours for you, I didn't want to invade your privacy. I hope you understand. I went to the coffee shop with Taemin. I hope you had a good rest.

Quite thoughtful of him to write me a note. I started to unpack the boxes that were pilled up in my room. I opened the box to see a bunch of framed photos and another note. What's up with him?

Place these around the house. Get creative.

I have a feeling he will do this more often. Before placing them around, I decided to go through them. They were mostly pictures of us as a band. A smile formed across my lips. Such nostalgia. We've grown so much since then.
I continued looking through the photos, at the bottom I saw a photo that stood out to me. Something I never would've thought he would include.

A picture of us together. I remember that moment. Its funny that he chose this particular picture. I couldn't help but smile even bigger. Jonghyun is my bestest friend. Something about him, I don't know what it is.

After finishing up looking through the pictures, I obeyed my orders from Jonghyun and started putting the photos around our house. I kept smiling for some reason.

Since I was feeling generous, I made my way to the kitchen to prepare dinner for me...not just me, but me and Jonghyun. He didn't have a favorite food, but I decided to cook up something I know he'll like. I'm not much of a cook, so I just threw some beef, rice, and veggies together and bam dinner.

Just in time, the door opened, and I greeted my friend.
"Hey! I see you put those pictures up," Jonghyun smiled brightly.

"I also made dinner for us, if you haven't had dinner already," I said looking into his beautiful brown eyes.
His face lit up,

"Thank you so much Minho!" He smiled and eagerly sat at the 4 chaired round table. I loved seeing him smile.
I layed out dinner on two plates for the both of us.

"I know, I'm not much of a cook, but I hope you like it anyway," I sat down in front of my roommate. We both looked into each others eyes.

"I'm glad you're my house mate," Jonghyun smiled widely, I couldn't help but smile back. Our eyes were locked on eachothers, it stayed like that for a good minute before Jonghyun took a bite of his dinner. I just continued to watch him eat, occasionally taking spoonfuls off my plate.

He got up and rinsed off his plate, I couldn't stop staring at him as he did his every action.
"Thanks for the dinner, I'll be heading to bed now," Jonghyun left with that smile he always gave.

I then followed, going to my bathroom to shower and brush my teeth to prepare for bed.
I don't know why, I just kept thinking about the way he smiled at me. His attitude is so admirable.

I am truly lucky to have such a friend.
