stalking SHINee in Hanoi

Perfect Stranger

Lee Shin POV

 

When Tae Min announced that they're going to Vietnam for a show something, I secretly booked a flight same as theirs. I know lot of artist will be going. It's not that I am interested but well, travelling helped me a lot in my line of work. My line of work. Gah! I'm not sure if you can even say it's line of work. My parents would define it as a hobby.

I searched about the show that will be held in Vietnam. Musicbank. Whatever it is. I'm surprised you need a ticket to get in. Now I am sooo doomed. And no, I am not going to use my name just to get in. Jun Ha oppa will knew it. That's why I used the credit card I shared with Chae Won to book the plane ticket. I painstakingly searched how to obtain a ticket. I finally found one after hours of spending time infront of my laptop. Man! I cannot believe I am doing this. Jun Ha oppa will sure go ballistic when he finds out I am planning to stalk my little brother. He's still not convince that the accident I was involved in months ago was really an accident. He is taking extra precaution.

I walked to the airport lounge. The airport was busy. It is international for God's sake. Also, fangirls knew about the departure of their idols and they came to send them off. These stuffs I never knew, I read them all two nights ago. What to expect and what to do when get caught by security. I laughed to myself as I walked towards the VIP lounge. I knew all of the Shinee. Onew and Kim Jong Hyun knew my face. It's better to keep away from them. I put on my wide rimmed eyeglass and my black cap. I pulled up the book the book to my face. It's not just an accessory. yep, I am reading The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. I have been always his fan I read all his books. It's a new release and I just got it the other day.

But I am not reading the book at the moment. I am studying the other artist in the lounge. Some are busy with their phones, with their electro gadgets. Some checking their make up. I can't see anyone reading a book. Duh! I slapped my self mentally. You cannot see any idol who read books. Oh wait. There is. What's his name? He's a celebrity. I came across his name while watching a show back when I was still in the US. He was said to own more than thousand of books. Man! when I watched that show I swore I am going to meet him. He's so impressive. A book worm and a celebrity. A rare kind. And that was one of my ultimate goal. To meet this idol. Uh..There. Yoon Shi Yoon. It slipped my mind after all the fiasco I went through. Maybe after this Hanoi escapade I will start hunting this guy. Oh, he is cute. Knowing me, I will make everything in my name's power to meet him.

Because my mind travelled to this idol reader for a while, I did not notice a pair of eyes studying me. I just realized when I thought I saw Choi Min Ho and I turned to avoid the group. I came face to face with a milky skinned, oh so handsome face. I kind of ignored how he look like. It's not the issue this time. It's how to hide myself from Shinee.  I breathed in relief when Min Ho just peeked in and asked if everybody was ok. Man! Isn't he too thoughtful. I can go with that man.  I realized I was still hiding from the guys back. He stared at me. If I'll look at those eyes, I'll faint. I lifted my head. "Hey, I'm sorry and oh, Thanks," I said in English and left. I made my way to the boarding gate. No one knew me well, unless my little brother walks in there. Our flight was being announced. First Class. The worst would be I'll be seated with my brother , Onew or Kim Jong Hyun oppa. I sighed when I saw the Shinee were seated at the front.  I took out my book and started reading. I turned my head when  the seat next to me was being occupied. My eyes went wild. I guess you can call it luck maybe jinx for me.

I booked to different hotel. I'm afraid I'll ran into Tae Min and I will be dragged back to Korea even before the performance starts.

Holy mother of! Seriously! What are these girls doing here? Man! The hotel was filled with fangirls of different race. Me. A korean. What am I doing here in Hanoi? These girls would think I am a fangirl.

"Hi. You're here for the Music bank?" I strike up a conversation to a caucasian girl.

"Oh you speak English and your accent is really good," she looked at me. "Chinese?"

"Korean. You?"

"Australian. So you came for Music bank as well?" she asked.

"Nah. It just happened that I was on the airport and I asked what's the buzz," I lied.

"Oh. I thought you're a kpop fan," she sounds disappointed.

"Hmmm... not really but I like one certain person. Lee Tae Min. Shinee. I believe they're here but I'm not here for them. I came for a vacation,"

"OH... you like Shinee? I love them. I love Choi Min Ho and Onew," she started babbling in excitement.

Wow! It's just wow! Hanoi is different from what I've read from my history books. Duh! those were centuries ago. The performers were said to have some kind of press conference.  I took my  sketchbook and pencil and head out. Yep. For normal tourist, it should be camera. I love drawing more. It's brings out my talent. Ehem. I got into one of the boats and enjoyed watching locals and tourist in the market. Gosh! I want to go mekong Canal. That famous floating market. That would be awesome to draw.

I end up trying the local foods. When I checked my watch, it's almost 6. I don't want to stray on a foriegn land without anyone knowing where I was when night falls. I returned to my hotel and got updates with the music bank activities.

I was able to watch the performance from afar. Of course I cheered a lot when SHinee performed. I love my brother doing his funny antics.

Chapter 61: I hope there’s an epilogue to this beautiful story. That she will bring Jong Hyun to their baby’s resting place and tell him about the baby. And i wanted to see his reaction when he knows that that’s his baby and not GD as he assumed.
