[M] Chapter 2/ What? (1/1)

My heart was racing, they were talking about something to do with male Shawols and Jonghyun kind of freaked out and dragged Key out of the restroom.I closed my phone, my mind still in daze, I slowly got to my feet, I was a little wobbly, and my feet had fallen asleep. I opened my stall door and headed to the sink.I felt like screaming: WHAT THE FUCK! But I just whispered it to myself instead.I took a few deep breaths, and splashed water on my face a couple of time, trying to wake myself up, hoping this was just a dream. When I felt ready to go back a join the other VIPs, I exited the washroom with extreme caution, still worried they might be hanging around.Oh good! I exclaimed with relief, the hallway was empty; I hurriedly made my way back to the VIP room. Once back with the others I noticed SHINee still hadn't shown up yet. I went back to the food table and grabbed another water bottle, sipping it slowly this time, I went to sit down on one of the sofas, where there was already a couple of girls sitting and talking to each other, they were looking at videos and pictures that they took during the show. I bet they would die if they knew what was on my phone. I tried starting a conversation with one of them and tried to ask if they knew when the group would arrive, she told me they won’t be long then started chatting with some other girl.Moments later, the girls closest to the door started to scream. SHINee had just entered the room, and suddenly all the girls went charging towards them. The staff announced that the group would stay for an hour and if things get out of hand, that person will be forced to leave.There was no need for that, everybody behaved; it was like the band had an invisible force field around them. There was maybe 15 or more VIPs altogether, including me. The five singers were all smiles and bowing and waving to the Shawols in the room, they were thanking us for our love and support, then some of the girls started giving them gifts.I wanted to join in with them but my gifts weren't finished yet, plus I was very nervous so I just sat there, staring at them, thinking they are even more perfect in person, I just couldn't believe I was feet away from them, so close, close enough to touch.They had changed from their stage clothes, they were dress more casual. Onew was wearing thigh dark denim jeans, a deep purple leather jacket with a simple tee underneath. Minho had a red pants with a checkered dress shirt. Key had a beanie and glasses with no lenses; he had a polka dot baseball long sleeve shirt and black skinny jeans. Jonghyun had his Batman top he wore once on SHINees One Fine Day series, also with a pair of dark denim jeans. And Taemin was in loose asymmetrical white top and checkered pants, and they were all wearing dress shoes. They all looked like models.  Before entering the VIP lounge, Key asked Onew why the fan meeting was such a long one.It’s because, he replied, it’s the last one of this year, and it might be a while before we go on tour again, and our manager told me there is the contest winner here, that came all the way from Canada, he said we need to make a good impression, to encourage our international Shawols.So behave guys, he eyed key.Ya! He said a little annoyed, okay I'll behave key hissed.Good, let’s go! Fighting!Fighting, we all shouted back.Like usual we were swarmed by the VIPs when we entered the room, Key rolled his eyes. Jonghyun hit him in the ribs with his elbow. Smile he hissed, he complied. The girls were taking pictures and handing out gifts.Jonghyun hit Key in the ribs again, harder than last time.I'm smiling, I'm smiling, key hissed under his breath.I know, I know, but look over there, Jonghyun nudge his head toward the sitting area.Key followed his gaze, then an actual smile came across his face, is he what I think he is?Jonghyun nodded, told you you'd be surprised, he whisperedHow did you know? Key askedI saw him during the show, isn't he very handsomeKey just nodded back.  It didn't take them long to separate into groups.Onew was now close to the snacks, god, he really is an eating machine; he had 5 girls with him. Jonghyun was sitting in the middle of the room with 3 girls talking to him. Minho was the closest to me sitting a few chairs away, with 3 girls around him. 2 girls were with key, who was just standing in a corner. And 3 girls were with Taemin, he was showing off his dancing on the dance floor, close to Jonghyun. He was trying to teach them some famous SHINee dance moves.I was glad we had a whole hour with the group, the present I planed of giving them was mainly a drawing, plus other small trinkets, but my focus was the drawings. I brought my sketchbook with me and started drawing them all one by one. it wasn't the most detailed sketch I've ever done, but I wanted to draw them in a more natural state, it was my way to try and catch a part of them that we don't usually see when they are on stage or on TV, I wanted to draw them as a person and not just an entertainer (a thing)I just had time to finish, I was so immersed in my drawings that I hadn't noticed everybody had already left, except for SHINee, the five singers were all gathered around the food table, eating and talking to each other.OMG! I startled myself, I'm alone with SHINee, what do I do? Do they even know I'm still here? Okay all I have to do is give them the sketches and leave and hope I don't mess up.I tore the drawing out of the sketchbook, and put everything else away. When I was about to get up, the drawings were pulled out of my hand.My immediate response was: Hey! Give that back, it's... for...SHINee, I trailed off.Right away I bowed a complete 90°, mian haeyo.They all started to laugh, and I had no clue why, were they laughing at me or something? I wasn't sure what to do next, so I introduced myself.(In Korean)Hello my name is Laurence, I pointed at my VIP badge 로렌스, Lo-Len-SeuKeys eyes widened is shock, checking out the drawing that he took from me.(Still in Korean)Check these out guys, he's not just a pretty face, he also draws really well. He passed around everyone’s proper portrait.Wow! Onew exclaimedThese are really good, so cool daebak, Minho saidDid you draw all of us in an hour? Taemin askedSorry, what did you say? Could you repeat more slowly, I tried to say in Korean.Taemin asked, if you made these, pointing at my drawings, in an hours’ time? Key said in perfect English.Yes this last hour I drew these portraits; it’s my gift to you. Key translated my words back to the others.Gamsahabnida, they all said and bowed in unison.I was sure to be blushing now; they all seem to be really nice guys, and what I wouldn’t give to spend more time with them. But since all the other VIPs had already left, I to should get going.My next words I practiced beforehand, in case I got to talk with SHINee.Thank you again, the show was amazing, I’m a Shawol for life, and I bowed five times, a bow each, and headed for the door.

Lolenseu, Onew said, I felt a hand grab my wrist, I was spinned around swiftly, Jonghyuns face now very close to mine, kissing distance. I stumbled on my feet to widen the gap between us, blushing again. Onew was talking very fast, I couldn’t keep up with his words, I just stared and the band members with a blank expression. Key sighed; I guess I’ll be the translator tonight.Our leader just asked you out for dinner, with the group, to pay back for the drawings.My jaw literally dropped to the floor, dine with SHINee would be a dream come true. Jonghyun put his finger on my chin and closed my mouth for me. I felt lightheaded and dizzy; I was in some sort of shock. I wanted to jump for joy; I tried not to look like a kid in a candy shop, but it just so happens that the five most irresistible candies are at arm’s reach. Trying to keep my poker face and to stay polite, I bowed and accepted their offer, I wasn’t going to miss this for the world. Hey guys, I'll try and update at the least once or twice a week, depending how fast I right, 당신을 사랑합니다 I wouldn't mind reading your comments and what you think =)
