Intro Part 2: Meeting FT (1/2)
A week later: Music Bank
Your P.O.V:
“Hime~!” Jessica unnie called from the door leading to the dressing room that SHINee was sharing with Super Junior. Naturally I came to the event to support my boys and say hello to all my friends. The music bank was the best place to do that. I also came so I could see FT Island perform for the first time in my life. I was sitting on a chair across from the place where Taemin was getting his hair done by the Coordinator unnie. I looked up to the place where Jessica unnie was standing. This week was going to be her’s and the rest of the SNSD unnies’s last one in Korea before their world tour.
She walked up to me skipping a little with each step like a child. Her face lit up in a bright smile when she reached my side. She waved to Taemin and took a seat next to mine and her face became even brighter.
“Anneyong. What do you need unnie?” I asked her after giving her a bow from my seat. Although I was an American born girl, having respect for my elders and using honorifics was a big thing to me. For the last couple of months, the SNSD unnies have been doing their best to get me to stop using them....well everyone but Seohyun unnie since she too can’t not use honorifics.
“Are you ready?” she asked jumping slightly in her seat. Normally everyone tells her she’s really cold but she’s really sweet when you get to know her...but this was a bit much, I know she’s teasing me. I knew she was talking about the show she just so recklessly arranged for me to go on. Ugh. Well I guess the guy’s lucky he wouldn’t have to deal with her moods.
“Ready for what?” I asked while reaching for the book that was on the table. Her hand grabbed mine to stop it and she went for my other hand she drew it close to her and started to move it around in a circular motion. Seeing her so excited made me feel a little bad about being such a priss about the show but it’s not like people want to see me get married....most people don’t even realize that I’m the one writing most of SHINee’s songs now.
“Oh come ON! You should be psyched. I bet you are gonna get the most amazing guy EVER! Watch, you’ll be really happy once you see who it is!” she told me and all I could do was give her a half smile and nod.
“Unnie, I’ll blame you if I’m with someone weird on the show,” I told her and she just laughed it off.
“Get who on the show,” a familiar voice called from the door. I turned and found Yong Hwa oppa from CN Blue with a smirk on his face while leaning near the door. Guess like he knows about the show too. I remember back in America how I watched him and Seohyun unnie be a couple on WGM...but they were suited for each other and both had a good fan base. How is a mostly normal person like me suppose to appeal to any viewers?
“Yong Hwa oppa, long time no see,” I told him while sticking out my tongue at him. Jessica unnie and Yong Hwa oppa both did a little bow to each other. Then Jessica unnie checked her phone and gave me her “I gotta go before Seohyun gives me her how not to be late speech” look and I gave her an acknowledging look and bowed to her as she left the room with Taemin yelling his good bye.
Yong Hwa oppa moved closer to me and grabbed my tiny nose playfully and pinched it while I puffed my cheeks like a chipmunk. He gave me a short laugh and waved to Taemin oppa as he took the spot that Jessica unnie was in before. He gave me a knowing look and I answered him back with a similar one.
“It’s not that bad you know,” He told me while playfully punching my arm. I faked a ouch and rubbed it as if it really hurt. He was like an older brother to me along with his bandmates. Jung-shin, Minhyuk, Yong Hwa and Jong hoon oppas, although they weren’t from the same company as SHINee, we often hung out went our schedules would allow it. As soon as Yong Hwa oppa got comfortable, Taemin’s hair was done and he excused himself in order to join the rest of SHINee and Super Junior for rehearsal.
“Oppa, it wasn’t bad for you because you were paired with someone really sweet, who’s personality really suited yours. You and Seohyun were an amazing couple and well, I’m not as appealing to the audience as you guys were,” I told him my worries honestly. And it’s kinda true...I mean I’m not that likable to lots of people.
“Yah, why are you saying such nonsense. You are someone who is well fitted to be a wife. You can cook, sing, make a person laugh, caring, observant to others and empathetic. You are someone who will do well on that type of show, Hime. You will do fine and have faith in your soon to be husband. Arasso?” He told me sternly like the older brother he was to me. I smiled and he smiled back.
“Thanks oppa, you’re always so helpful for things like this, but is that the only reason your here? To tease me?” I told him gratefully. He laughed and grabbed my hand so we were both standing.
“That was one reason, and the other reason was for you to have a chance to meet FT Island,” he said with a big grin. I froze a little. Although I was getting use to having such famous friends....when I first met all of them I did have a little fan girl spasms...it wasn’t bad with SHINee but I know for a fact that meeting FT Island would cause my heart to blow up into many different pieces and fly right into heaven but who cares? My face lit up and I gave a big nod to Yong Hwa oppa and he grabbed my hand and started to lead me to the dressing room that CN Blue was sharing with FT Island. I was finally going to meet them :).

Hong Ki’s P.O.V.
We are back baby! I’m so excited to be back in Korea. Nothing beats being home at last, so the guys and I were ecstatic well except for Seung Hyun but that’s because of WGM...but whatever...watch him get one hell of an awesome wife. He’s not in the room since he did his makeup and everything already so he decided to see all his buddies from MakBanShi and other shows so being the good hyungs we are, Jong Hun and I let him go. We are now sharing the dressing room with our old buddies CN Blue so everyone was in busy discussions. But right now I feel left out cause my buddy Yong Hwa decided to ditch me because he wanted to talk to a friend of his who was at SHINee and Super Junior’s dressing room. I haven’t a clue of who it was he ditched me for, so I started to listen to the guys talking to Jung-shin, Minhyuk and Jong Hoon.
“Oh, Hong Ki hyung you shouldn’t get too upset about Yong Hwa hyung leaving like that. He’s always like that when Hime’s around. Knowing him, he’s probably dragging her here as we speak,” Minhyuk giggled at my reaction to Yong Hwa’s sudden urge to ditch me.
“You’ll like her hyung, she’s really cute. We’re all really good friends, she told us really likes FT Island too,” Jong Hoon told us. So that jerk ditched me for a girl.
“Tell me about her,” I asked taking an interest in the girl for the sake of getting revenge for taking Yong Hwa from me. I mean he ditched me, his buddy who he hasn’t seen in like a year for someone else.
“Hime’s from America, and she’s dorming with the SHINee members. She’s almost eighteen internationally and nineteen here and she’s SHINee’s new lyricist. She writes really good songs in English, Korean, Japanese and I think Spanish and French if needed, as long as she’s provided background music. If she has the music and a theme, Hime will write the song in five minutes flat,” Jung-shin told me while tuning his bass guitar.
“Hime’s not her real name though. It’s the nickname SHINee gave her since she’s so tiny and they adore her like a princess and everyone calls her that now. She’s super nice and cooks REALLY WELL. She’s also like a genius. She’s suppose to be freshman or was it a sophomore in college but in course work she taking Senior and Junior courses at Seoul uni in foreign affairs and taking music as a minor I believe. But Hime’s normally really quiet but if she gets comfortable around you she’ll talk a lot more. She has a really bright smile too, and she laughs at everything...even Onew hyung’s stupid jokes,” Minhyuk tells us.
“Really....is that really even possible?” Jong Hun asks curiously.
“I don’t believe it....” Jae Jin pitches in.
“It’s true. She’s really cute too. She’s barely 5 feet tall so she’s always wearing heels. She even makes Yong Hwa and Jong Hyun hyungs look tall. When she stands next to Jung-shin she looks like a mouse,” Jong Hoon tells us while laughing at the image in his head.
“I feel really bad when she stands next to me when she’s in her converse she barely reaches my upper chest. She doesn’t even reach my shoulders when she’s wearing four inch heels,” Jung-shin tells us while hanging his head low.
“But honestly....she’s really pretty,” Minhyuk tells us fully seriously.
“Like good figure,” I ask. The three guys nods their heads yes and blushed a little.
“Big breasts, sexy hips, legs that are long compared to her small stature?” Jong Hun asks as he tuned his guitar. And the boys blushed even harder.
“Yah, hyungs, you guys shouldn’t ask that type of thing. It’s embarrassing!” Min Hwan said cutely while closing his ears and blushed too.
“What, we were curious.” I told our second youngest member. Geez, he’s done with college and he still can’t stand this type of talk...seriously....he needs to grow up.
“Hong Ki hyung, everyone here likes her. The SHINee hyungs protect her like older brothers keeping every guy who wants to date her from her. The SNSD noonas are always taking her shopping, even though she would rather listen to music in her room. Yong Hwa hyung and the rest of us get lunch with her as much as possible. The Suju hyungs are always going over to the SHINee dorm to hang out with her. She doesn’t really talk with BEG, f(x), Wonder Girls, Miss A and Kara but when she with us guys she seems more comfortable cause she’s more of a tomboy. Yong Hwa hyung is always asking her advice on new songs. You can call her whenever you have a problem and she will always give you great advice no matter what time it is even if she’s so much younger than us. You guys will really like her too,” Minhyuk told us proudly. They obviously all love this girl a lot.
“We’ll see when we meet her,” Jae Jin tells them, still a bit dubious, and they nod their heads. Most of us were only interested in dating noonas...not younger girls.
“Like I said before, she really does love FT Island a lot. She told us how she listened to you guys even back when Won Bin hyung was still in the band,” Jung-shin tells us.
