~START~
AFTER 2 YEARS
Onew and Taemin were at the President’s waiting room. They are being deliberated together with other 4 girl trainees. They were all talking lightly to pass time and cover nervousness. It’s another big day of their lives.
The girls were called in to the conference room first and after a few minutes they heard loud screamings. The girls were happily screaming. Onew and Minho were then called in after the girls left.
“Take a seat.” Young Minki, the company’s president, said. It was their first time to really be up close with him. They learned that their president is very strict with the trainees but once you got in, he treats you as his own child.
Taemin and Onew sat on the chairs the secretary pulled for them. They were now facing the president and other manager-hyungs. The huge round table was the only thing seperating them. Taemin’s cold hands held in to Onew’s arm. Onew patted it and smiled encouragingly.
“It’s been more than 2 years that you boys trained under us.” President Minki said. “And I can say you were doing your best all this time.”
Both of them bowed, too nervous to even utter a sound.
“We have studied the reports of your trainers, co-trainees, and other staffs here.” The president tapped on a bunched of colored folders in front of him. “They were pretty impressive.”
Taemin was now smiling, still a little tense. Onew’s feeling some good news.
“For Taemin,” One of the managers started, “The dance tutors were really happy with your improvements. They said you can easily learn the dance moves and even choreograph on the spot.”
Taemin nodded.
“And you Onew,” The manager faced him. “You’ve advanced to dancing classes as well, right?”
Onew nodded. After he resigned from his work a year ago- he had more time to practice and squeezed in a dancing class. YM provided everything they need so he can concentrate in his training.
“That’s good.” He continued. “Your singing voice is also getting stronger.”
“I think you boys are ready.” The president smiled at them. Taemin looked confused but Onew already knew it and can’t believe it. “Welcome to YM Entertainment.”
Taemin’s eyes couldn’t get any bigger and he hugged Onew. He then runned to the other side of the table and started bowing and shaking the hands of their bosses. Onew followed but not as energetic as Taemin. He’s stunned and slowly taking in things.
“Thank you.” Onew said when he bows his head. He reached for the president’s hand and shook it with both of his hands and bowed lower.
“I know I made the right decision.” President Minki said and pulled them to a hug. They hugged him back and stepped backward to bow again.
“You’ll be informed by my secretary here on when you’ll be signing individual contracts then.” The president dismissed them and they were now being briefed by his secretary.
“First things first.” She said. “Chukahae.”

The company decided to join Taemin and Onew in a 5-member group. There were just happy that two very familiar people were joining them.
Key and Jonghyun auditioned in the company 6 months after them. Key’s got some charisma and Jonghyun’s voice was really the best vocals.
They still have to wait for one more member and they said the guy won from the company’s world wide contest.

Onew haven’t heard from Minho for the past couple of weeks and he misses him. They have been working hard on their long distance relationship and they’re just getting stronger.
Onew was running late and waited for the elevator. They’ll be meeting their fifth member today.
It can’t be. He thought. He saw Minho’s reflection on the newly polished stainless elevator door. He looked back but there was no one. My mind’s playing tricks on me again. The elevator door opened and he stepped in. I miss you, Minho.
Jonghyun, Key, and Taemin were laughing when he walked in the practice room. They were asked to gather in there and wait.
“We were just talking about our fifth member.” Taemin pulled him to sit beside him on the floor. “I heard he’s from America.”
“Really.” Onew nodded.
“I’m wondering what he’s good at.” Key leaned on the mirrored wall. “We’ve got the dancer and the vocals…maybe we need a rapper.” He exaggerated the last word.
“Maybe he’s really realy really good looking.” Taemin piped.
“Ain’t we enough face value?” Jonghyun ruffled Taemin’s hair as they joked some more.
“Taemin.” Onew lowered his voice so only Taemin can hear. “Did Minho contact you for the past week?”
Taemin pouted and shook his head. Onew bit his lip and smiled.
The door opened and their manager walked inside.
“Good. You’re all here!” He said. The 4 stood up and walked closer to him.
Taemin was trying to look past their manager. “Where is he?” He asked excitedly. Key hold down Taemin’s shirt.
“He’s still in the president’s room for courtesy call.” Their manager answered. “He’ll be here in a few. I’m going to tell you more about him while we wait. He’s from America and he won the YM global contest. He’ll be catching up with you guys with training though.”
“So he didn’t really like, train, like us for 2 years?” Key questioned.
“No, but believe me he’s what we need.” Their manager said. “I’ve seen videos of him performing. One was like 2 years ago- he was rapping- and the other was his contest piece in America.” His phone rang and he answered it. “Neh. Okay.-he’s coming down.”
Onew suddenly felt excitement. He can’t explain it but he really want to meet their last addition. Jonghyun and Key were both looking at the floor smiling while Taemin was being his usual self, jiggity.
“Hyung.” Onew suddenly called their manager. “What’s his name?”
The manager just smiled at him. The door opened and a tall boy came in.
NO WAY.
“Minho?” Onew was shocked to see Minho. America? Rapper? America? 2 years ago?
Taemin was the first one to reach Minho and hugged him. Key and Jonghyun gave him a quick hug as well. Wait. Am I the only one surprised here?
Minho was looking at him expectantly. Their manager stepped out the room mumbling some excuse.
“What are you doing here?” Onew stayed on his spot.
“Oh, I miss you too.” Minho answered and took a step forward. Onew stepped backward.
“But you---“ Onew pointed at him. He looked at the others and they were all trying hard NOT to laugh. “Yah! You all knew about this?!”
Minho walked forward, smiling at him. Onew equaled it with steps back until his back hit the mirrored wall. Minho stopped a couple of feet away from him. Onew missed those eyes staring at him now.
“I’m sorry.” Minho smiled at him cutely.
Onew gave him a stern look. “That’s not what I want to hear.”
Minho closed in their distance and hugged him tightly. “Saranghae.” He whispered on his ears.
Key pulled Taemin and Jonghyun out the room as the two love birds were having their moment.

Special Chapter: UNTITLED
“Nice place.” Minho commented after Onew toured him in their dorm. Taemin and Onew were now sharing the rent after the deal with YM Entertainment ended. It’s a big and expensive place but they don’t want to let it go. They decided to invite the other three to share it with them.
Jonghyun will have Taemin’s room since it’s the smallest one and he wanted to be alone. Key and Taemin will have the room near the den, Key have been very attached with Taemin and he wanted to take care of him, just like a mother.
“And there is my room. “ Onew pointed at the door to their right.
“Cool. Where’s mine?” Minho smiled. Onew pointed at the same room.
“That’s your room.” Minho said carefully.
“Well, there’s no more room available.“ Onew sighed. “If you want, you camp here on the living room.”
Minho mouthed an ‘Oh. I get it.’ and smirked.
“Let me check on the room first before deciding to camp here.” Minho walked to the door and opened it. “Care to check it with me?”
Onew missed this. He missed this so much. He missed Minho a lot.
