a writer's quirks

Every writer has their quirks, and Jinki perfectly understands that. So he doesn’t really make a fuss about Kibum’s mood swings when he’s working on his stories. His housemate is a novelist and has succeeded in producing bestsellers in an insane length of time. Even Kibum’s editors are baffled and amazed at how his stories sell so well. Jonghyun, Kibum’s editor, says that it’s a mixture of luck and talent. Kibum could make it in the big market if he pushes hard enough. He tries to make Kibum spit out stories faster, make him release novels of varying genres, and Kibum somehow breezes through them all perfectly. Everyone wants to know his secret, but only Jinki understands.




"What is he doing?" Jinki’s friend, Minho, once asks. They are just entering the house Jinki and Kibum share when they almost run into Kibum speeding down the staircase and pausing at the last step of the stairs, looking up with a pained expression on his face while muttering, then running back up again.

Jinki just laughs it off. “He’s working on a new novel. Something dramatic, I think.”

Minho thinks it’s weird, but Jinki understands it so well. Kibum cannot write without reenacting the important scenes in his novels. He has to move, speak, and act like some of the characters in his stories in order to capture the perfect feeling of the plot-twisting scenes. It’s the secret to the success of his novels: he manages to act out the scenes and makes his writing so close to reality and makes the readers relate well to it.

Sometimes, Jinki gets looped into helping out. Like when he spends an entire morning walking with Kibum in the woods, then at the beach so that Kibum will get a feel of taking a stroll in the environments he’s mentioning in his novel. Then there is a time they dress up in their old school uniforms and spend the day acting like students because Kibum needs to reminisce how high schoolers live. And then there’s the time Jinki has to buy female clothing for Kibum because he has to write from a girl’s perspective and thus, dress like a girl.




So when Kibum appears by his doorway one night, Jinki just smiles, knowing that the young man has yet to request his assistance in exploring or experimenting on something. He gives a welcoming grin in anticipation, but is confused when Kibum licks his lips and takes a deep breath.

"You see," Kibum says, wringing his hands into his overly large shirt. "They want me to put a love scene in my novel…"

Jinki swallows.




Apparently, Kibum’s romance novels are bestsellers, and it’s all thanks to Jinki’s undying patience. Although it cannot be denied that he somehow starts to enjoy it—their nightly “research” that involves Kibum approaching his bedroom and resting his laptop on Jinki’s bedside table before kneeling on the bed and crawling over Jinki to initiate everything. The way Kibum breathlessly whispers instructions to him—how he should put Kibum’s leg over a shoulder, or how he should pin Kibum against the wall, or how he should let Kibum do all the work. It’s amazing, really, how they had tried so much stuff, so much positions, and how vividly Kibum manages to put them all in paper including the way Jinki’s breath fanned against his cheek or how his eyes shut tightly as he shuddered in release.

More sex, more kinks, Kibum’s editor demands, and Jinki finds himself fully submitted into Kibum’s research. He feels used sometimes, especially when Kibum, exhausted and sticky as he is, reaches up to weakly grab his laptop to type up a chapter or two, ignoring Jinki still lying beside him. But his friend is a writer, a bestselling one at that, and Jinki is just his assistant researcher. And Jinki completely understands that.

But sometimes, Jinki wonders if the way Kibum holds him closer, and the way he arches into Jinki’s touches, and the way he whispers words of affection in Jinki’s ear are real or just part of the novel he’s currently writing.

Oh well, Jinki thinks as he keens into Kibum’s mouth—in another one of their research sessions, no matter what happens, he’ll help his friend become a successful writer. He’ll just think about his affections another time. He just needs to be with Kibum and maybe, later on, Kibum will develop feelings for him that’s not based on one of his books.

He just needs to stick with Kibum and his writer quirks for as long as he can.




"So for your next project," Jonghyun says, crossing his legs on the sofa as he grins at Kibum. "Why don’t you try writing a murder mystery?"

Jinki doesn’t like the way Kibum’s eyes glint in interest.
