Chapter 3: Stage Fright
After all the excitement we planed that I would come straight home the next day and prepare for my meeting with the head of SM’s board. I almost fainted under pressure right then and there but I forced myself to keep a straight face. I didn’t want to look like a fragile girly girl. The boys went home eventually; they had a ride waiting for them and their dance rehearsal building. I wanted to walk them myself to stretch the time we had left together but Minho insisted that it was to dark and I could get hurt on the way back. I of course told him I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself but he wouldn’t have it so they set off walking back and I watched them go. Jonghyun yelled back “Goodbye Juliette” and they could have probably seen me turn a deep red as heat went to my head.
I could hardly sleep that night. I could only picture when they had sang to me previously that day. I kept replaying it in my mind and I couldn’t get enough of it: Onew’s sweet laugh, Taemin’s childlike smile, Jonghyun’s hair flips, Minho’s intense gaze, and Key’s playful nature. It all seemed so real but yet so fake. I feared going to sleep and waking up from it. I had to talk to someone about it to prove it was reality.
I got up and walked over to my laptop, turning it on and seeing if Becky was on. It was pretty late here so I figured she was.
AARmy: Hey? You busy?
Beckerrz: No. Wht’s up?!Beckerrz: I hvn’t talk’d to u since you left!
AARmy: Yea, I know. I’m sorry. I have something important to tell you…
Beckerrz: Wht is it? Is smethin wrong?
AARmy: No, something’s completely right. If I tell you this you can’t tell anyone. Ok? Swear it.
Beckerrz: I swear. Tell me im scared now.
AARmy:…. I met… SHINee.
I stared at the screen for a while but she didn’t reply. I wondered if I had made the right decision telling her until *pop*
Beckerrz: R U serious! Dont play with my emotions like this!!
AARmy: I swear it.
Again momentary silence.AARmy: Rebecca? Are you there?
Beckerrz: Tell me everything.
I spent almost an hour explaining what happened. She couldn’t get enough of it. She blew up my computer screen when I told her about them inviting me on tour. I felt as giddy as her. I could finally share my excitement with someone and it felt great to smile like an idiot about it, but it would have been great if she were here with me physically. I really did miss her… I missed a lot of people.
I told her I had to go that it was getting really late and then I went back into bed. Smiling at a computer screen must have tiered me out because when my head hit the pillow I was dreaming.
I dreamt that I was on stage with bright lights and when I looked out all I could see and hear were flashes of light and loud bellows that shook the stage. I was intimidated and I backed away shielding my eyes but someone stopped me, grabbing my hand right and pulling me forward. I looked to see it was Jonghyun. He smiled as the lights danced off his eyes and smile. I couldn’t see how he could take the blinding lights; they were far to harsh for my eyes.
I saw Taemin and Onew fall in line with Jonghyun and I looked to my left to find Minho and Key. Minho grabbed my hand and smiled against the flashes along with the others.
“What’s happening?” I asked, barely being able to open my eyes.
“Just smile. We’ll start soon.” Jonghyun whispered through clenched teeth that formed his perfect smile. I tried to obey but I was too awkward and I couldn’t will my eyes to stay open long enough.
Suddenly they let go of my hands, leaving me in the middle of the floor as they assembled on their markers. I looked at them, throwing helpless glances and they returned it with reassuring, tight smiles. The lights on stage died down but the flashes still came just as bright. I considered running off stage but a spot light fixed on me before I had the chance and a monkey sounded somewhere. I knew this song… Shout out.
I heard Minho start it off somewhere to my left then when the chorus abruptly started there were strobe like flashes and I could see each of them moving towards me. They sounded harsher than I remembered as they closed in and Key wore a scowl as he did his part of the song. I cringed away from him as Onew pushed him to the side roughly looking as if he were defending me. Minho then came in rougher than key, as expected, and it took the young Tae all of his might to push him away from me the same way Onew had. The song continued and soon the roles switched; Tae and Onew were the ones being aggressive and Minho and Key were the ones fighting them off. I didn’t know what was going on and I was trying to dodge them and get off stage but there they were at every turn. Soon it was Jonghyun fighting them all off and in a spit second he turned on me too.
I ran to in any direction but no matter how far they were always there and the stage seemed to go on forever and the constant flashes didn’t cease. The music turned more eerie and I felt a hard shove from behind. I made contact with the stage hard grazing my elbows. I rolled over on my back as they all crowded around me. I looked up at all of their hard faces and saw something I hadn’t before; There were hundreds of transparent strings that the lights revealed that dropped down from the darkness of the ceiling and attached to the boys at every point; arms, legs, heads and so on. They were even embedded into their faces forcing them to scowl at me in my state.
I noticed how they seemed to fight the evil looks on their faces. Minho seemed torn between looking angry and sad/sympathetic. Tae and Key looked as if they tried to bend down and help me but the strings held them fast. Jonghyun was breathing heavily, trying to move from where he was being held but it seemed to cause him pain and Onew’s eyes watered as he looked to the stings then to his younger friends and finally they rested on me. They seemed to plead for me to cut them loose and I could almost hear them scream out through forced shut lips.
I made up my mind and I knew what I had to do. Asking for forgiveness I swept Minho’s feet out from under him but he was suspended in animation as the strings held him up. I then scrambled to my feet running to tackle the strings. They snapped and he fell with a light thud.
“Thank you.” He breathed as he got up and he threw a fist to the stings above Taemin who was running to tackle him with a vicious look.
“Hyung, watch out!” Taemin yelled jumping in front of Minho just to get hit by Key. One of Tae’s arms was still attached to string and it lashed about wildly. Key cut it loose when he tried to kick Tae but missed when he fell.
My vision was blocked by Jonghyun and Onew who held devious looks. Jong ran to me and I met him half way. We tumbled on the floor and I pulled loose as many stings as I could as with him biting, punching, and clawing at me. Onew joined in out tussle and half of Jonghyun helped me fight him off.
“Onew, you’re almost free.” he said through a half grim frown. I looked over to Tae and Minho who were still trying to get Key but years of dancing and flexibly made him hard to catch and I could see the frustrated look on Minho’s face as he looked over to me. I knew he wanted to help but he couldn’t leave Tae to face Key alone; Key was as deadly as a viper and he knew it.
Onew’s free side started to claw at his still attached limbs and soon enough they were both free and we all rushed over to where Minho and Tae pinned down Key who was thrashing about, not giving up without a fight but eventually he was unhooked. We all breathed sighs of relief but our victory was short lived.
I hear a swooshing sound and before I knew it I felt deep stings on my arms and legs. Minho’s eyes grew wide as I looked down to what had caused the sudden pain; Hooks, sharp to the point were rooted in my arms near my joints. I looked helplessly at the five of them and they reached for me. They were so close and I cried knowing they would never reach me as I was pulled up into the creeping darkness of the stage ceiling, leaving five outstretched arms, ten terror filled eyes and the flashes that reflected off of them.
I jumped up suddenly still shaking from my vivid dream. I could feel a cold sweat over my bare chest under my tank top. It felt much too real for my taste.
I jumped when I heard Kyung knock at my door to get ready for school.
“Yes, Umma.” I called back. I gathered my school things and wrapped my hair up getting ready to take a shower to wash away the awful reminder of last nights- or rather this mornings- dream (more of a nightmare I should say). My warm shower stirred me awake from my short sleep but it only kept me up for a few hours; I nearly hit my head on my desk at school about five times. I was lucky I didn’t get called on. I tried to get excited about seeing the guys after school (Kyung left me a message at the front office that I should go to the garden after all) but it didn’t come until the actual “time of”. I walked to the garden and I found the five of them cramped on my stone bench: Minho and Jonghyun sad atop the back part with their feet in the seat while Key Taemin and Onew sat in the middle. They had their backs to me so they didn’t see my arrival and I crept up as stealthily as I was able. As I got close I could hear them talking but to my disappointment I couldn’t understand, which I should have expected but my dream left me the impression that I could, but I did catch my name in the conversation.
“Hello!” I said enthusiastically, popping my head in the middle of them all directly above Taemin who smiled bending his head to look strait up as I looked down at him with my long hair covering our faces like a veil. He laughed as it tickled his face. I backed up then went around the bench, as they all said their hellos back, and I went to go look over the city like I did any other day.
Key and Minho flanked me on either side. “We talked to one of our friends in the SM industry.” Key said and I could feel my stomach knot up.
“Oh really.” I tried to keep a composed face.
“He said he’d talk to some high up to see if we could get you an audition today.” I felt my throat go dry so I didn’t say anything. “and it worked.” He continued. “You audition in an hour!” He had a huge smile with extended arms as I turned slowly to him.
“An hour?” I asked monotonously for if I had said it any other way you could have heard the hysteria that was creeping up on me and Key probably knew it too; he slowly lost the smile and looked a little worried. “Yea an hour. Is that ok?” he asked in which I shook my head rashly while pursing my lips.
Don’t loose your head, girl. Keep cool. Don’t freak out, I kept telling myself.
Onew and the others where talking with worried looks as well. What if they thought I couldn’t make it? I wasn’t going to give up that easily. I at least had to try, but I had to unload a confession to someone. The problem was I didn’t want to look weak in anyone’s eyes…
“I need to talk to Taemin.” I said hastily. I went up to Tae and grabbed his hand and pulled him up. “It’ll only take a minute.” I hauled the confused looking maknea away from the others towards the ally. Once we were in I stopped letting the over grown vegetation be our cover.
“Ok I figure you’re the one who knows the least amount of English, right?” I got a confused pout. “That’s good enough for me.” I let out a deep sigh before I continued. “Well where do I start. I had a crazy dream about you all last night and ironically we were performing on stage, in front of a tremendous crowd and I really want this but I’m scared. I’m glad you can’t understand because I wouldn’t tell this to anyone who would. What if I choke, or while I’m singing I croak like a toad?” By that time I was already pacing in front of him throwing my hands in the air and getting carried away. “I don’t want to look like a fool to anyone and I’m afraid that’s just what I’m going to do. I want to impress you all but I don’t have the talent to… Maybe I should just stay here and finish my time out as an exchange student then go back home. I’d at least say that I got the chance to meet you all.”
I leaned against the ally wall feeling stumped. Taemin walked up to me placing a hand on the wall behind me and towering over me. He said something I couldn’t comprehend and scooped my chin with a small smirking smile. Even though I didn’t understand him his words sounded encouraging and I couldn’t help but to give a small smile.
“Sing.” he said nodding his head. “No going home now.” he strained.
My eyes grew wide. I guess they all knew a sufficient amount of English! “You understood?”
He shook his hand in “a little” motion. “Oh great.” I threw a hand up, dramatically.
He pointed to himself, shook his head, then made a talking motion with his hand. I guess he wouldn’t tell anyone. I smiled again at him, trusting what he signed to me. He was so sweet and genuine. I’m glad I got the chance to defend him. Even though my ideal guy would be a fighter I would have made an exception for Taemin. I always wanted someone I could take care of… I gave him a quick hug and then grabbed his hand to lead him back out to the stone bench.
On our way over I could see Key and Jonghyun wrestling on the ground, Onew looking for the tap out, and Minho still over looking the city. He saw us coming before anyone else, sending me a small smile that made his eyes crinkle a bit.
“Well I guess I’m going to need to practice with the little time I have left.”
Key repeated what I said. I had figured that they understood a good amount of my sentence though.
Jonghyun jumped up from where they had cut their small battle short and scrambled over to me, grabbing my hand and leading me to the bench to sit. He then sang ‘do re mi fa so fa mi re do’ but in ‘la la la la la la la la la’ form. I knew the notes by ear. He then pointed to me to do the same, so I did. We did this over and over getting an octave higher each time until I could go no more. After that we tried going lower. We tried other vocal exercises until Onew yelled “Late!” and we all scrambled to the exit where a van was, open and waiting. Minho jumped in and offered me his hand. I smiled at him pushing it away and helping myself in. I heard a throaty chuckle in response. They all piled in after me and Onew shoved Minho with a sly grin to sit next to me. “Ready?” Key asked as Taemin closed the van doors and we pulled away.
“No but It’s now or never."
