Jonghyun x Key
“The first time it happens, they both don’t mean it – a fleeting press of lips against lips backstage, in the dark, among the mess of costumes and props and mirrors.”
“Choose your friends wisely.”
“Another tough day, another warm night.”
“Jonghyun is jaded. Key feeds himself with illusions and dreams. In their own separate worlds, neither of them feels truly happy.”
“Still Kibum couldn’t help but smile as he went through more routines, flipping a few switches, checking the radios and flicking off the seatbelt lights as they started on course at their desired altitude.”
“Key takes BoA’s song a bit too seriously.”
“Jonghyun is nervous, Kibum is oblivious, and Minho is always right.”
“Love’s kind of like riding a bicycle with your hands tied behind your back.”
“Because the future is bright.”
“Them other boys don’t know how to act.”
“In which Jonghyun recruits the assistance of not one but four alpacas, Kibum is like a sexy unicorn in a karaoke room, Jinki applies operant conditioning, Taemin is full of infinite wisdom, and Minho is a dick.”
“SHINee’s short trip to Vegas ends in all sorts of social clichés.”
“What are you after, exactly?”
"Bitonal. adj. (of music) having parts in two different keys sounding together."
"The first time Jonghyun knew what it was to be in love, the first time he realized he was in love, and what followed."
“This way, that way, and you’re the most popular kid in the world”
“One more try, give it one more try, just another try.”
“Kibum comes home to a particular conversation.”
“Key and Jonghyun discuss what their first time should be like.”
“Jonghyun wakes up one morning with no voice.”
“I don’t know why or what I’m doing but I know it’s right, I hope it is.”
"You should quit that, you know," he says while glaring at the other’s cigarette, and can’t help but hold a mock-scandalised expression when Jonghyun teasingly blows a puff of smoke on his face.”
“Kibum… would a girl like this?”
“Can I kiss you?”
“In which Key stalks Jonghyun and remarks often on the topic of virginity.”
“Jonghyun e Kibum queriam um casamento de verdade, realizado no exterior. No entanto, nem todos os seus parentes e amigos concordaram com a idéia ou desistiram de convencê-los a desistir dessa fantasia que julgavam ‘desnecessária’.”
“Kim Jonghyun is a photographer. Kim Kibum is a stylist. Jonghyun thinks, knows, feels, that Kibum is magical. That Jonghyun falls for him is inevitable and aligning his path with Kibum is not as easy; never so easy. The problem is Jinki thinks Jonghyun is insane. The problem is Jonghyun knows he probably is. The problem is Kibum doesn’t know anything about Jonghyun until Jonghyun is dead set in seizing the constellations he always sees in Kibum’s eyes.”
“You weren’t affected by the love potion. I, uh.”
“It all starts when Jonghyun starts sneaking into Kibum’s bed.”
“5 Times the rest of SHINee thought Jongkey were doing it (but weren’t) and one time SHINee caught Them”
“But there isn’t any land ahead for a couple hundred miles.” Jonghyun said nonchalantly. Kibum stared at Jonghyun uncomprehendingly for a while as Jonghyun continued, “There isn’t any behind us either for an equally long ways…”
“One glance and you’re done, you’ve made your assumption that you think will be set forever.”
“He hadn’t meant to snoop. Or at least that’s what he was telling himself. That was his story. His story was that he had truly not intended to snoop.”
“Key’s a housekeeper in an insane asylum. Jonghyun is a patient, and his secret past and strangely sane personality draws Key in as his friend. But there’s more to it, right? After all, they’re in a nut house.”
“Kibum wants to know why Jonghyun is saving up his money to go to New York, Spain, or Netherland. The answer lies in the similarity between those places.”
“There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down; you and I will be safe there.”
“Jonghyun and Key- alone in a room, passing notes like they used to in high school.”
“Kibum wants to scream. He shouldn’t be here, working in an abandoned convenience store at 1 in the morning.”
“I wanted to know what you think about it. I mean it’s not common in Asia. At least I don’t know anyone who does it.”
“Who needs Cupid if you have Kibum? A love bipolar Cupid who loves to sabotage things, that is.”
“Key thought it was bad enough the way Jonghyun sprung the news on him six years ago. Now he’s saying he’s ready for marriage. The best part? He wants Key to help him pick out the ring”
“They lie down anyway with Jonghyun informing Kibum that to live a little was not illegal.”
“Kim Jonghyun doesn’t like movie theaters (or movies, at all), but when he meets the theater’s popcorn machine runner he begins to have some second thoughts.”
“Actually…” Jonghyun pondered after breaking the kiss, “can I tie you up again for my birthday?”
“Kibum hates winter, but it does have some perks.”
“Removing the door to the kitchen was probably the worst idea they’d ever had.”

“Jonghyun and his never-ending, idiotic antics.”
“In which Jonghyun falls in love with the hostage and no one wins in war.”
“The thing with revenge is, no matter how sweet or how cold it’s served, it never quite goes according to plan.”
“Jongkey have a flour baby. Kibum thinks it’s good practice. Jonghyun wants to bake it. And Jinki is no help.”
“Jonghyun needs a wife, and Key may or may not be the prince of his dreams.”
“Whatever this is, whatever Jonghyun thinks he has with Key, it’s only because he’s paying for it.”
“The world has its preconceived notions of what’s right and wrong, and Kibum knows perfectly well that people would find him strange, disturbed…sick. But this is what he is, what makes him feelright. And they won’t take that away from him.”
“Kibum is tired of doing everything the subtle way in order to catch Jonghyun’s attention and steps it up a notch. Say hello to the divalicous Key everybody loves.”
“Kibum’s a little anxious of the future.”
“The SHINee boys argue about what the Sorting Hat would have to say about them. A drinking game is also involved and a bunch of other movies are mentioned. And Jonghyun gets picked on a lot.”
“Kibum spends his spare time doodling over school property and Jonghyun likes to play with balls. ”
“The last fight. The last hurtful words. This time I was too tired to make up. Too tired to pretend everything will be alright.”
“Jonghyun hated cats. He always had. They were devious and devilish bastards that purred and danced around your legs in one second and clawed their sharp claws into your skin in the next.”
“In which Key is sort of gay and Jonghyun is foredoomed. they’re best friends. right?”
“Jonghyun isn’t sure if he’s cut out to be a dad, but he’s willing to try.”
“When he lit up like that, it was like Christmas lights, it was like little kids when they get a present and it was Key’s absolute favorite thing in the world, to see his eyes get big like that, to see the way he’d gasp and then grin, and he looked so young, like he was 5 years old again.”
“Sometimes Kibum just felt jealous.”
“Loving Kibum —or whatever it is Jonghyun’s doing— is like watching him dance; it messes with your head in far more ways than you’d think.”
“I… I’m sorry, but who are you?”
“Best friends and then what? Kibum isn’t sure what he’s feeling anymore. And that bet with Jonghyun only makes things worse.”
“What is love?”
“It’s probably not a good idea to confess to your band-mate in public over the phone when you’re over two hours away from him, in a bar. Especially when you’re part of a famous, blossoming idol group but for now…”
“Fairies don’t exist and Jonghyun knew it, or thought he did. What happens when that absolute truth is shattered—and what happens when he falls in love with Kibum, a fairy the size of his palm?”
“I’ll see you soon.”
“When Jonghyun loses his girlfriend from high school on a mid-summer night, Key is right there for him.”
“An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Most people do it in hopes of wishing for a long life or recovery from illnesses. Kibum does it for love.”
“Lady Gaga will be attending the VMAJ. Heechul thinks of a plan, Kibum prepares a conspiracy, and Jonghyun and Hyukjae are collateral damage. Somewhere along the road everything goes wrong, of course.”
“Best friends and a rave in the woods.”
“Key was terribly bored.”
“10 years is a long time to wait, especially when the thing keeping you apart is the never-ending expanse of the universe.”
“It was a sudden spur of spontaneity that made Jonghyun take that hand and follow that boy to the shore, but he was on holiday, he was free to do things he normally wouldn’t.”
“See you in the afterlife,” Kibum says.”
“Fine, I’ll do it. You’re attractive and I’m ‘open to all sorts of weird shit’.”
“That wasn’t such a strange thought, was it? To wonder what kind of lay your best friend would be.”
“Key wants to confess, but can’t. The fact that the rest of SHINee won’t stop interfering in matters really doesn’t help. At all.”
“Jonghyun is pretty sure that Kibum’s ignoring him. He’s also pretty sure that Minho is cockblocking him, or maybe it’s just all in his head.”
“Maybe he’s feeling cold because of the way the question was asked, mumbled to his hairline on the back of his neck, Key’s lips brushing the skin and his arms around Jonghyun as they lie on the bed, long forgotten by the other members.”
“Kibum just wants to be in control of one thing in his life.”
“Key was untouchable and he preferred it that way. It had always been that way and as far as he was concerned, it would remain that way. But life liked to throw curveballs and baseball wasn’t exactly Key’s sport.”
“All it takes is one mistake to ruin everything.”
“Kibum has a hot new neighbor. Spying ensues.”
“Do you have any idea how dangerous that could be?”
“It was…. weird. Needless to say god it was so fucking weird. That was all Key could say about the situation really, when he was sitting on the couch, staring up at two nearly identical boys, who were staring back at him with identical stares, with their identical lips pursed and tugged up at the corner in identical smirks…”
“Kibum pursed his lips in thought and licked them a few times, fingers hesitating on the tacky, cheesy pink ribbon that Jonghyun would probably tie in his hair or around his neck later because he was dumb like that.”
“Key is a supermodel who met Jonghyun who is a chief of police.”
“Jonghyun had always been fond of Kibum’s voice, but he never noticed that Kibum also loved his voice.”
“Jonghyun and Kibum are the last to know that they’re exclusively dating.”
“Maybe it isn’t what’s in the mirror right now that frightens you, but what you will be seeing in the future.”
“There’s a coffee shop Taemin goes to.”
“Something borrowed and something gets Kibum wondering.”
“I wake up to find myself in some hospital bed, that doctor telling me that i own some designer brand (i hate designer brands) and my brain tells me that I’m two years backdated. What are they going to tell me next, Heath Ledger died?”
“Jonghyun discovers that he is an idiot. Key has a craving for cherries.”
“He can vaguely remember the past twenty-one years of his life, how from the young boy who barely made it through school had become one of Korea’s most popular singers. But like his uncertainty about the lights zooming past him outside, he isn’t sure if it’s time that’s passed him, or he that had passed time too quick.”
“Jonghyun had found another.”
“Key hates heights… and roller coasters. And Jonghyun’s determined to make to have Key get over his fear. Even if it meant having Key hate him for the rest of his life.”
“After two years apart, it’s amazing how easy it is to fall back into the old routines of being best friends. The thing is, Jonghyun isn’t here to be Key’s best friend again.”
“When the bride comes in and she makes her giant grand entrance, I like to glance back at the poor bastard getting married. Cause even though I think he’s an idiot for willingly entering into the last legal form of slavery, he always looks really, really happy”
“In which Jonghyun loves music a bit too much.”
“Key’s been fighting these creatures, demons, his entire life. He’s never enjoyed the killing, but it’s the only thing he knows. Their latest capture changes everything, but angels and demons never get their happy endings.”
“But most of all, he wanted to stop replaying that goddamn incident.”
“He was working everyday down the street, selling flowers—pretending he was blind.”
“They webcammed here and there to get a better feel for each other, make it feel like the distance between them was lesser, but there was still that slight ache in Kibum’s heart when Jonghyun signed off, or when Jonghyun wasn’t around.”
“And at first, Kibum would just watch him go, not wanting to bother him. But after time, he followed him there, sitting outside on the tiles as he listened to Jonghyun cry. He’d give him tissues after and watch as Jonghyun refused to look him in the eyes. His face would be red, the whites of his eyes bloodshot and he’d sniff loudly as he wiped at his face, rolling his shoulders as if to shrug what had just happened off.”
“So when you smile at me it’s all part of the job?”
“No matter who or where they are, they always manage to find each other; five different ways Jonghyun and Key fall in love.”
“And because Kibum thinks he is an excellent friend, he applies as an advice-giver at a newspaper.”
“Today’s recording had been great, a real daebak, but the fact of the matter was that due to the intensity of his bandmate’s absolute lack of shame, he was sporting an erection that could poke out an eye and wasn’t in the mood to be discovered too soon.”
“That car was sexy.”
“Remember when we were young and stupid?”
“You can run all you want, but at some point you’ll have to face your demons and confront yourself.”
“No one ever talks about what happens when love just wasn’t enough.”
“Key thinks that Onew is going to use the pictures to blackmail them. Jonghyun thinks that Onew is either a closet pervert, or has run out of money to buy his own porn. Either way, they want the pictures back.”
“5 times Jongkey were Disney films”
“One day you call God, and suddenly the world shifts.”
“A look at Jonghyun and Key’s relationship…from a much different point of view.”
“One, two, three, take a breath and don’t forget to admire the scenery; four, five, six, take my hand and keep walking ; seven, eight, nine, smile and don’t look back.”
“This is the story of two men who, due to unforseen, unpredictable (and frankly, undesirable) circumstances fall in love- and then some. Also known as the 9 times Jonghyun saw Kibum and the 1 time he decided to stop counting.”
“While Jonghyun is away on his military service, the agency he and Kibum had been working with over the past year finaly places them with a baby. The hardship and heartbreak of having a baby without your other half is something Kibum slowly comes to realize, but everything changes with with a simple word: Appa.”
“Oh I have a lot to say- I’ve been thinking on my time away.”
“Some things last forever. Others don’t.”
“Kibum, a 17-year-old high school student in Seoul is fan of a local rock band called ‘Lost Generation’. He’s really fond of their charismatic singer Jonghyun, a textbook example of a typical rock star. He visits every concert of them until one night changes everything…”
“Some words lose their meaning over the years. Others gain a few.”
“Key just wants a taste of Jonghyun’s mouth.”
“Key spent the largest part of his free time like that; lying on the back in his bed, legs widely spread and Jonghyun in between them. He wasn’t one to complain about it, because Jonghyun was really talented with his hands and tongue, but there was one thing that bothered him for a while now.”
“Four times Jonghyun tried to kiss Key in public, and the one time he managed it.”
“In a grey world, white wishes prevail.”
“Things are taken for granted when you’re growing up.”
“They weren’t invincible nor were they fearless, and love didn’t always pull through nor did good triumph over evil in every battle fought, but there would always be hope at the bottom of despair.”
“Jonghyun and Kibum alternate between two words.”
“Jonghyun and Key get stuck in an elevator… for hours.”
“These are the scars that words have carved on me.”
“This moment, remember it, capture it.”
“It wasn’t that Key had really meant to tease, he hadn’t meant to flaunt himself or make anyone crazy, he hadn’t set out that day with the intention to do anything like that, but it just kind of happened naturally.”
“In which the title is pretentious because nobody gets to Atlantis.”
“Kiss kiss kiss me again and again - eleven different kisses for eleven different purposes.”
“Listen more closely when your best friend hums Christmas songs in your face.”
“I don’t have any books but you can check me out.”
“I told you guys to get me an awesome Christmas present. Not a prostitute.” “Well, for the record, he’s a classy prostitute.”
“Key is evil, Jonghyun is kidnapped, Taemin might kill them both.”
“A horny Key and a Jonghyun in denial.”
“At two opposite ends of existence, there exist four boys; two pairs of humans that appear to be carbon copies of each other. In perfect circumstances, their lives would have turned out exactly the same. Unfortunately, we all know that perfect circumstances don’t exist.”
“I know.” was all Key could respond with, because despite the jealousy, despite how possessive he could get and despite how much it hurt… he did know.”
“Sight isn’t needed in order to enjoy the most wonderful things in life.”
“Kibum wants to star in We Got Married. Kibum’s wish is SM’s command. Right?—or; Jonghyun gets molested a lot, Kibum’s new favorite word is party pooper, and somewhere along the story, very bad puns are being made (Onew style)”
“Jonghyun starts daycare and makes a friend.”
“Two years just feels so long.”
“Jonghyun isn’t sure when it started.”
“Five times Kibum steals kisses from Jonghyun.”
“Kibum and Jonghyun thought it was the most natural thing to experiment around in sexual matters. In their long-term relationship they had tried out lots of things other people wouldn’t even dare to think about. Sex was something sacred for them, something everyone should enjoy freely without feeling embarrassed or self-conscious.”
“When his best friend finally lands a date with the girl of his dreams, Kim Kibum began to develop feelings he didn’t want to deal with.”
“There’s a bench they both go to.”
“Even after the bruises faded from his milky skin, it was like they remained anyway, sticking out so obviously in the hunch of his back and the way he walked. No matter how much time passed they stayed there, invisible, hanging on the air around him.”
“They took naps on the couch together, they played around with each other, they wrestled and they leaned into each other when they were in the car. It was so familiar to touch each other.”
“Love makes us do stupid and irrational things, and in Kibum’s case, he’s going to confess by using a Chinese zodiac calender. Twelve days until Valentine; clock is ticking.”
“Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark, emerging from the gentle grip of night’s unfolding arms.”
“The moment I touch your frozen heart, my life begins.”
“Most of the fan gifts they got were harmless. Actually most of them were amazing honestly. Wonderful tributes of fans love for them, and really all of the boys appreciated every single one of them. And honestly they hadn’t gotten anything weird.. Well that was a lie sometimes they got weird things. But nothing like this.”
“Jonghyun (a pretty cool guy who works at the Apple Store and owns a dog) runs into his new neighbor, Kibum (a pretty pretty guy who is a freelance artist and owns a kitty cat), and realizes that he isn’t all too open-minded or truthful as he says he is on those blind date questionnaires (which might be why they don’t quite work out).”
“Jonghyun is hit with inspiration at the weirdest times, and Key’s used to it.”
“You’re blackmailing him?” Jinki asked. “Isn’t blackmailing wrong?”
“Kim Jonghyun and Kim Kibum are besties…until something happens and Jonghyun decides that it’s not a good idea to wait too long to get a move on.”
“Filthy. Disgusting. Unnatural. Wrong. Jonghyun had always been taught that homosexuality was nothing less than revolting. He never questioned the fact, though he never saw what exactly was so bad about it… But after he meets the subtly-rebellious and always-honest boy who prefers to be called “Key”, he finds himself wondering… If it was wrong, then why did it always make him so happy? And if it was so unnatural, then why can’t he make it stop?”
“There wasn’t much a teenager in Kim Kibum’s age was interested in. Adolescence was all about falling in and out of love for the first time, experiencing the first kiss and having the awkward first sex…”
“Jonghyun is bored, Kibum is curious and lust is sinful”
“Jonghyun’s just an unfortunate kid. Kibum’s just a lost spirit.”
“Don’t make promises. You won’t keep them.”
“What happens only in textbooks shouldn’t affect Jonghyun, but it does—and it’s not that his life is turned upside-down, it’s that everything else in his life is.”
“Jonghyun takes the train to the last stop, only to find he’s left his life behind.”
“He comes in at 7 o’clock and 5 minutes in the morning.”
“Sick of boys and what society tells her to be, Gwiboon decides to make a club for girls who, well, like girls. But while it’s meant to be a fun way to unwind and be themselves, past baggage and new relationships make things more complicated than anyone expects.”
“Jonghyun never did notice the models of clothing stores until now.”
“Jonghyun and Key live together although Jonghyun is with Shin Sekyung. Difficult circumstances? Yes. Things get even more complicated when Jonghyun plants a kiss on Key one night. With Sekyung constantly getting in the way, Jonghyun is placed in a difficult position and needs to make a decision.”
“His life has been one of those kiddie roller coasters. You go up a little, you go down a little, and it’s over in fifteen seconds. Jonghyun smokes a pack a day, Taemin has an obsession with the beach, Minho works at a convenience store—Jinki across the street at the club—and Kibum is struggling to make enough to stay in college. Five normal lives and how they entwine.”
“It’s election season and Lee Jinki is rapidly overtaking his opponent, Choi Minho, in popularity. But there’s more important things going on besides national issues. Minho’s group is plotting to destroy Jinki’s image with the help of gossip guru Kibum, but they are finding it harder than expected. Meanwhile, both Minho and Jonghyun find their personal relationships are going downhill.”
“When first we laid eyes, I swore to no compromise ‘til I felt my caress on your skin.”
“When Onew leaves the Korean production of RoA, Jonghyun is promoted to lead singer in his place and a new actor is also hired. Sparks fly, drama ensues - Rock & Roll.”
Minho x Taemin
“The mix up of the century occurs when Minho’s neighbor mistakes him for a prostitute and propositions him for a night of fun. The mistake of the century occurs when Minho finds himself going back for more. He may be a genius—getting paid for sex and all—but he’s an idiot for falling in love”
“Taemin isn’t sure of what will happen now that he’s legal, but he never knew his hyung was that insecure.”
“In which Minho is a university student and Taemin is not.”
“The smile on Taemin’s face belonged to that of a perverted mastermind, and Minho had fallen into the role of the puppet.”
“Minho’s instantly smitten by a boy who works at the ddukbokki stand.”
“Sometimes I think our fans are crazier than we give credit for.”
“Because bricks are the new love letters.”
“Taemin is the definition of a summer fling, but Minho just can’t seem to pull himself away.”
“They need heroes everywhere, even in a backwater farming town.”
“In 1920 Ireland, Minho and Taemin meet under unusual circumstances.”
“The law is important.”
“Minho consults GQ for romantic advice.”
“Sometimes twelve steps are a lifetime away.”
“They don’t need to say anything.”
“They will never be anything but nitty gritty, dirty little freaks.”
“Choi Minho has 20 girls trying to win his love. Sadly, he likes the pool boy a lot more.”
Onew x Minho
“One week later, Onew had ruined another Ralph Lauren shirt, spilled iodine solution on Minho’s levis, and, just now, had splashed ink onto his face and managed to get it in his eye.”
Minho x Key
“Jonghyun broke Key’s heart, over and over, but Key never let him know. One person did know, though.”
OT5 and/or OTPless (SHINee) most of them have jongkey anyways
“In a post-apocalyptic world, Taemin got into a run-in with the ‘law’. He passed out mid-chase, coming to only to find himself a runaway and the latest addition to a group of anonymous vigilantes.”
“In which SHINee gains superpowers and all hell ensues in the dorms.”
“In which some of SHINee succeed as girls, or just Kibum really.”
“Jinki’s a psychic, Taemin is a bird, Minho’s silent, Jonghyun is schizophrenic, and Kibum wants to die.”
“Nothing is going to be okay.”
“We both do it… we both kill people.”
“He had the best family he could have ever asked for.”
“They were supposed to bring about the end of the world, but Taemin just had to waltz into the destruction and upset the natural order of things.”
“The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.” —Chinese belief”
“One day the SHINee boys turn into girls. Whoever said that being a girl was easy, was dead wrong. A wonderful world where Jinki goes bra shopping, Jonghyun tries to discover the female anatomy, Kibum has a full blown pms breakdown, Minho is being an oppa whore, and Taemin still punches as a damn girl.”
Luhan x Sehun
“Lu Han is Sehun’s roommate and Sehun has a list of reasons why he is perfect.”
Baekhyun x Chanyeol
“Chanyeol isn’t the perfect robot but that’s okay with Baekhyun because he is anything but the perfect human”

“Baekhyun makes love easy.”
