Will I ever get used to this kind of beauty? How will I ever be satisfied in the States, I thought to myself as I gazed out into the Sothern Korean world with my long, black hair flowing in the cool breeze. There was so much life and color. Even the grass was greener on this side. I had been an exchange student for a few weeks now and I still loved to just stop for a moment and enjoy that I'd come here.
I had just got off of school and I was on my way home (well it was home for now), but not before I took a stop and my "secret garden"; A place I stumbled upon on my way home (I got lost a lot at first). I liked to go there every day after school and view the movement of the city, for my place was high up, almost on the side of a hill, and it had a beautiful view. It didn't seem to belong to anyone so I decided to make it my serene spot.
I strolled up placing my school bag, and the current book I was reading, on a stone bench (yea it even had a bench) and walked out in the direction of the edge to over see things. It would have been like an ordinary day, it sure seemed so, but that changed when a boy stumbled in there as well. I didn't have my contacts on so I didn't really see him well which lead to mildly squinting (it made me look like I was glaring at him). At first I got scared thinking he was the owner coming to scold me, but then I got angry as I saw a group of kids coming behind him laughing and throwing things at him as he kept his head down. I never was one to let things like that slide.

"Hey, Stop it!" I yelled at them and they looked to acknowledge me, but then went ahead and resumed with the taunting. I looked around for something to chunk back at them and I found some rocks scattered in the grass. I picked up a number of them and shouted my threat: "Leave him alone!"

When they didn't stop I let the stones fly. I probably shouldn't have, knowing I didn't have my glasses, but my strike was true; I hit a scrawny boy in the thigh and he yelled out. I decide to rush them not wanting them to think I was weak and then come to the conclusion that they could overcome me if they joined together, and as they got closer I could make out the bewildered expressions on their faces. I bellowed impressively and chased them to the entrance.

Once they were all gone I lowered my arms that held the wielded rocks. "Suckers." I turned around and I was close enough to make out the boys face. I shouldn't call him a boy, he was older than me, by only about a year or two, and I knew this because I knew who he was...

My face felt hot and my palms got sweaty as I faced Taemin, SHINee's youngest member. I had stumbled upon them when I was in America and my friend and I grew a tad bit obsessed.

Keep you're cool, I told myself. You don't want to scare him off. But I knew I wouldn't for long. I put my head down and walked back to my bag. I could hear his steps follow me and he said something.

"I'm sorry. I haven't progressed that much in Korean." I said trying to avoid his face. That didn't last long. I looked up at him and I could see his eyes were moist. He had a huge grin on that made his eyes crinkle and he bowed to me almost respectfully. I almost ran up to him and hugged him but I snatched up my bag instead running out of the garden. He yelled something and when I turned back just to glance at him he was holding up my book and I silently cursed to myself. Now I would never know the ending. I decided to leave it and continued running. Once I was out to a main road I got lost in the swarm of people and made my way to the house.

When I got home I regretted not staying.

When are you ever going to get a chance like that again,
I kicked myself. Way to go, smart one.
"You’re home early. How was your day at school." my substitute mother, Kyung Soon asked with her accent heavy (I usually stay late in deep thought in the garden).

"It was really good, thanks for asking." I smiled at her.

“Ok. Finish your school work then come down to help with dinner.

“Will do.” I said then went to my assigned room. I put my bags down and slung myself on the bed. "Why are you just so stupid?" I began to ache for my book and his smile once more. Maybe he'll leave it there.

WHAT IF HE GOES AGAIN TOMORROW! I got drunk off the thought. Well I would have to wait and see.

* * * * * * * * * * *

When the bell rang I couldn't get out of school fast enough. I bobbed and weaved through my peers and walked hurriedly to my place. What if he didn't show? Then you got your hopes up and even remembered your contacts for nothing.

I tried not to get my hopes to high but they had already taken flight when I emerged into the small garden and crashed when I looked around just to find it empty.

“When things seem to good to be true they usually are, Kristy.” I walked over to the stone bench and looked around to see if he had left my book by any chance, but I didn’t find it anywhere. Oh well.

I sat down and fished my Mp3 out of my bag I was trying to decide on what to play when I remembered Taemin’s cute, adorable smile and I made my choice; ‘You’ by SHINee. I sang along with it almost perfectly (I think) smiling to myself as I thought of the members. I was just getting to my favorite part (Years will come and Years will go …. I’m yours aka the Bridge) when I saw something in the corner of my eye. I turned feeling exposed and immediately I caught my breath as Onew, Taemin, Jonghyun, Minho, and Key came into view. Their lips in sync with the words that were pouring into my ears. I pulled one ear bud out and their own acoustic symphony replaced it.

I just stared in awe and actually brought myself to smile as I lip sung along. I exchanged glances with each one of them admiring their beauty, grace, and talent and when Onew sang out I got goose bumps and even blushed. I didn’t stop blushing until the end… Then I felt like a smiling idiot. I could feel my face getting hot. I didn’t want to risk loosing my cool in the midst of such beauty and poise so I slowly dropped my smile and grabbed my bag quickly and tried to walk away but they held up their hands.

“Please stay.” Key said quickly before I could get away. His accent was thick in English words. “We didn’t mean to frighten you.”

“Frighten?” I asked feeling my ego getting wounded. “I wasn’t frightened.” I straightened up and scrunched up my brow to look the tough part. Minho looked admiringly at me.

“Then why run?” Minho asked in his deep manly romantic voice…

“Uh… I was… running late to something.” I lied. I didn’t want to admit that I was bashful frankly because it didn’t happen quite often. I don’t know if they bought it.

Taemin stepped up to me holding out my book, Fable Haven, and had the same wide, sweet, famous smile as before.

“Thank you.” I bowed. I remember hearing that that was respectful, I think.

“You helped, Taeminnie.” Key started, smiling nicely to me. “Thank you so much. What is your name?” I looked closely at how his lips carefully formed the words. I noticed that Minho was talking under his breath at a puzzled Taemin, Onew, and Jonghyun. Probably translating as best he could.

“It was nothing. I would expect someone to do it for anyone. Those people were rude too. I don’t like people treating others like that and my name is Kristy Garcia.”

Taemin said something to me and I gave him an apologetic look. “I don’t understand, I’m sorry.”

“He said you sing well.” Minho translated with effort. “You do.”

I blushed slightly but then scorned myself for it. “Um.. Thank you.”

Jonghyun directed words to me which Key translated. “We must repay you somehow.”

My mind instantly filled with thoughts that I should have kept hidden and I wished for Taemin’s innocents. “No, it’s fine I swear.”

Onew busted out something. “He said ‘We should take her to eat chicken’” Key told me with a smile while the others said a chant that I remembered was “What ever he does it’s Onew Condition” and I couldn’t help but to laugh and they joined me. When I caught my cool and the laughing quieted Taemin snapped up and said something excitingly.

“What did he say?” I asked full of curiosity.

“He suggested that we perform for you, if you’d like.” Key said with glee. “But you were late for something weren‘t you?” It sounded awfully tempting, but I didn’t want them to feel the need to. They already do it enough and I remember my friend complaining that everyone always wanted something for them and they were always exhausted.

“… Only if you all want to, I don‘t really have to go anywhere.” I nodded bashfully and they all cheered.

Minho grabbed my hand and began to lead me along with the others somewhere. I was to startled to object and even if I wasn’t I don’t think I would have anyway… No I wouldn’t be able to, and I pity the fool who would.

Taemin followed beside Minho as he pulled me along (I admired his boldness and how he took control) and threw huge adorable smiles back at me which after I got over being hauled away started to return them. Onew was beside me with a goofy grin while Jonghyun and Key pushed me along by the small of my back laughing and talking. They kept trailing their hands all around my back and I got butterflies form the constant skins-ship. We walked over to an entrance that I had never seen before; it was in the far left corner almost completely grown over by plants and it lead down an ally which we followed. When we got to the end and the sunlight hit us it was almost blinding. Once my eyes adjusted I saw that we were in a box like place caused by the buildings around us and there was a door leading into one of them.

“We sometimes cut through there to get to that building.” Key explained pointing at the building. “That’s where we rehearse.” To think that they were just an ally away the whole time…

“You know of us?” Minho asked, eyes intense and passionate that you could just melt.

“I do.” I admitted. “But I’m not really insane like you’re normal fan girl.” I said. It wasn’t a lie… I wasn’t crazy over them out in the open.

“What song do you want us to perform?” Key asked after Jonghyun nudged him and uttered something.

“It’s completely up to you.” I wanted to be surprised. Maybe I would know the song.

Minho ran to the door and went in and came back with four folded chairs. He said something in Korean to Onew and he went in to bringing back two more. They set them up with the backs facing the ally we came through. I don’t know why they got so much… Maybe they were going to perform ‘Love like Oxygen’. I loved that song.

“So you are from over seas?” Minho asked as he lined up the chairs.

“Yes, sir. The states.”

“Oh, is it nice there?” His eyes were wide and sparkled.

“Well I love it here. There’s a lot of rich culture that you can’t find much of in the States.” I confessed. “There’s a lot of respect here too, towards elders. It’s not like this in America.”

He nodded but I wondered if he really understood.

Jonghyun then came over to me while Key barked orders at Taemin and Onew and took hold of my wrist leading me to one of the center chairs and sat me down as the others huddled in a circle on the opposite end of the boxed in area. He then said something with a flashing smile and was staring hard at my face and was kind of close to it to then pinched my cheek which made me blush a little under my copper/russet skin.

Key yelled something at him in a ‘diva’ tone and Jjong yelled something back while he flipped his hair and walked to them. He then pointed to Minho and then back to me. Minho dropped his head with a bashful smile and shook his head but Jonghyun grabbed him hauled him over to me. He said something to Minho then pointed to me.

“What is it?” I asked feeling put on the spot. “Is something wrong?”

“He said that you look really pretty.” Minho smiled.

“Me?” I was shocked.

“Yes. You. Is it unbelievable to you?”

I thought… “Yes, yes it is. I don’t consider myself that pretty where Jonghyun thinks that I am. I’m flattered.”

Jjong smacked Minho’s shoulder impatiently and Minho turned to him and struggled to translate and when he finished Jonghyun said something to me while nodding his head a lot then lifted my chin up and smiled so lovely. A shout from Key sent them on their way. I noticed that there was wires that lead from the open door to a stereo. It was probably set up by Key, Onew, and Taemin while Minho was playing translator.

I sighed trying to get rid of my nervousness and calm the butterflies in my tummy. Stuff like this doesn’t happen. You don’t just meet five amazing looking guys who are famous on top of that. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath but they snapped open at the sweet slow sound of “La la la la la, La la la la la” and in an instant I knew the song and I smiled sweetly picturing a sweet summer day at a river bank near a bridge where the sun danced off of the water filled with lilies and flower peddles were gliding through the air. When Onew stared off I swayed to the beat and lip sang as best I could. The music was amazing and their voices were so powerful along with their dancing and fancy foot work. I watched the whole thing in amazement on the edge of my seat smiling giddily. I got drunk off of Key and Taemin’s soothing melody and Jonghyun’s vocals were breathtaking. And when Minho came in… well he was every bit as amazing. When they finished they bowed and I clapped enthusiastically.

“Amazing.”

“You sing now.” Jonghyun uttered

“Me? Sing?” I could feel my legs go weak and I prayed they didn’t fail me; I hated showing weakness. I was going to object but the others cheered at his words. I don’t know if I could do it with an audience.

“But I’m not that good.”

Minho walked up to me. “You are. Just pick a song.”

“The others wouldn’t know what I’m saying.” I said making excuses.

“Well then sing one of ours.” Key jumped in.

I thought about it… They did perform for me and I didn’t want to seem a chicken… but what song could I vocalize to. It had to be slow and not to fast or I’d get all of the pronunciations horribly wrong because of my awkwardness. I decided on...

"Romantic, but I won’t be able to do Minho’s part though; I haven’t memorized that.”

“I’ll do mine. You do rest.”

Key explained what I was doing to the others and they ran to the seats fighting for the middle seats. Jjong and Kibum sat in the middle seats and the Tae and Onew were off to the left of them (my right when I was facing them).

Minho was changing out the CD in the stereo and I went over to him. “How do you get rid of stage fright?” I hated myself for admitting that I was scared. “And please don’t say ‘just picture the crowd naked’.”

He looked up at me from where he was crouched and had a cute confused pout on. “Just take deep breaths. Don’t think to hard about doing it.” He stood up and towered over me. “So you are frightened.” Just for a second I resisted that dreamy smug grin and was angry, but just a second.

“No- I’m not… Well maybe a little but I don’t want you all to know.”


Minho pressed his lips together in thought then put a finger to them in a ‘shhh’ fashion then he held out his pinky; he was promising me that he wasn’t going to tell. I smiled thankfully and linked mine with his.

“You are going to do good.” he said with out fingers still linked. “If you get scared just glance at me.”

I nodded and he released me. He pointed for me to go to the center and I went trying to easy my nerves.

Don’t think about it, don’t think about it, just picture yourself alone in your room and sing like you always do.The music started and I vocalized as best as I could where Jjong was supposed to sing then Minho put in a few lines then I was alone for a while singing Jonghyun’s, Key’s, Tae’s, and Onew’s part and Minho joined me in the chorus so I wouldn’t have to sing alone. I remembered a good portion of it and I even started to get into it after a while when Jjong’s big part came up then I was enjoying myself. Minho came back on his part and soon it was over. I stood there huffing because I felt my hear would explode and the silence closed in and seemed to last forever.

Oh crap I bet I said a lot of stuff wrong.

Then they all stood up and clapped with huge smiles and Minho walked over to join them. I couldn’t help but to feel good about myself so I smiled till my cheeks ached.

They all sat down and stared to get consumed in talk and I stood there observing. Everyone but Minho, who sat looking deep in thought looking at the ground with intense eyes, was chatting and looking up at me with smiles in which I returned not knowing what else to do.

Then Minho said a few words still staring seriously at the ground.

They all turned to him and in unison said something that sounded like “Whaaa” so I took that what he said shocked them and took them by surprise and now I was interested in knowing what he said.

He looked to them and repeated what he had said. After a moment Jonghyun repeated it to Key who repeated it to Tae who repeated it to Onew then soon they were all saying it in a jumbled mess aside from Minho who laid back looking pleased with himself.

Onew came up to me and said something that sounded like the retorted line but it had a slight change. I cocked my head to the side and scrunched my brow. “I’m sorry?”

They all then crowded around me with glee that was contagious and Key yelled something slapping his hands at them trying to quiet them down. Once they were he said something with arrogance and gestured to himself which made the others get loud once more.

Minho grabbed Key with both hands, his eyes wide, and said something in a booming voice and pointed to himself.

“Minho, Minho, Minho.” Jonghyun started chanting while Key looked defeated.

“Hush!” Minho ordered and the silence came back. He stood in front of me and clasped my hands while the others struggled around to get closer. He uttered the same line that Onew had to me then translated: “Will you join us in tour?”
