Identity Revealed! (1/1)
Jonghyun was kneeling on the floor as Minho and Onew watched sleepily from the doorway. Taemin and Key stared in horror as a tiny old grandma beat him about the head with her purse. "I'm sorry, I really am! I'll replace your eggs, really!""You good for nothing young b-boys move in here and cause a ruckus! You better replace the peaches too, they are bruised and useless now!""Yes, yes, I'll replace the- ow! Peaches!""You boys better not disturb me again!" she screeched, as she seemed to run out of steam and stopped smacking Jonghyun.There was a stunned silence for a moment, then Key looked towards Onew."How long has this been going on!?""A good ten minutes, I think. He and I-" He jerked his thumb towards Minho. "Were only woken up by the ruckus a few minutes ago."Key was already over by the woman though, wrapping his coat around her shoulders and ordering Taemin to pick up her groceries."If this bruises, our manager is going to kill me." Jonghyun muttered to Onew, rubbing the back of his head."I heard that!" the woman said, smacking him one last time for good measure."Ajumma, come inside, would you like a fruit salad?""Key, that's your breakfast!""Taemin, shh!" Key hissed, snatching the bag from Taemin and escorting the woman inside her apartment, giving Jjong a glare."Go out and replace her groceries!""Key, I'm hungry!""Shut up and go!""I don't have any money, remember?" He waved the IOU threateningly.Key threw a wad of bills as him and swept the still fuming woman through the door."It's so exciting to finally meet our neighbor, hm?" Minho mumbled to Jonghyun."I guess." Jonghyun whimpered back. "You're what?""We're performers. Haven't you ever heard of the band SHINee?""No. Is that one of those new-fangled gay bands?""No!""All you young boys living together, it is a breeding ground for that kind of thing.""We aren't gay!""Do you perform at those strip clubs?""No! We aren't gay!"She looked at them doubtfully, then sighed."Well, if you say so." She settled back into her musty old couch as the four boys stood awkwardly in the small living room. The apartment smelled like pine candles, and the dim yellow lights cast a soft glow over the scene."Well, if you're all set here, we'll excuse ourselves.""Not yet! You boys are staying here until that blonde dinosaur-boy comes back with every one of my groceries!"Taemin whimpered on the couch."Umma, I'm hungry!""Taemin, shush!" Key swatted at him, but Taemin dodged it, sliding to the floor."I'm hungry!""Oh for god’s sake, get something from the kitchen you skinny little mouse and keep your voice down!" The grandma snapped, pointing through the kitchen door. "There should be some biscuits on the counter and jam in cupboard.""T-Thank you so much!" Taemin stuttered, skittering off to find some food.Onew sighed as a loud bang came from the kitchen followed shortly by a shout of "I'm okay! The floor was slippery and I slipped on my socks!""Keep your voice down!" the grandma yelled into the kitchen as a heavy, insistent knock came at the door. "That must be the dinosaur freak."
