(I apologize in advance if I misspelled Korean words or use the wrong terms, I'm awful at the language!...Then again, it's a good thing in this case since, well, just read and find out.)

Episode 1:

One freezing cold day, SHINee and I were walking out of KBS studios. We walked down the stairs when I stepped on an icy spot and nearly slipped but Key caught me before I fell down the stairs.

Key (all members speak Korean unless stated otherwise): “Y/N, kenchana?” You (in English unless stated otherwise): “I’m fine. Thank you, oppa.”

I understood some Korean but couldn’t speak much. Good thing Key’s become fluent in English or I wouldn’t be able to talk with him. The other SHINee members were pretty much the same as me when it came to their English speaking but we manage.

I’m a year younger than Key (I’m 19 in Korean age) so I call him and the older SHINee members oppa. Taemin is younger than me (17 in Korean age) so he would call me noona.

(A/N: I know Key did the exchange program when he was much younger but I’m making changes because this is my story LOL)

3 Years ago (Late 2007): I spoke only Spanish and was in the process of learning English. Key and I sat next to each other during one of our classes and started talking. He was from South Korea, sent to my home state of New York by SM Entertainment, where he was a trainee, to study English. By the time we finished our classes, not only had we become fluent in English, Key and I had been calling, texting and hanging out with each other. He even taught me a little Korean. We actually went on a date but we decided we were better off staying friends since we are from different countries. After Key returned to South Korea, he debuted with SHINee but through all the fame, we still remained in contact with each other and soon I became friends with the other SHINee members.

Key offered his arm for me to hold as we continued walking down the stairs. We noticed a crew approaching us with cameras and boom microphones. Being polite, SHINee and I bowed our heads and greeted them. “Anniyahaseo.”

One of the crew members started talking to us as we approached SHINee’s van. The members looked confused. I turned to Key as he translated for me. “They want us to go into their van.” “What, why?”

Jonghyun started questioning their manager inside their van. He asked something about a schedule or something. Was SHINee scheduled for something like this? Jonghyun tried to open the door but it was locked.

Suddenly, the manager started driving away and the SHINee members started yelling in shock. I was confused, why did their manager leave and why was the camera crew still following us? Jonghyun started laughing afterwards while Taemin was guessing that they were on some secret camera show.

The crew member talked to us again. I listened carefully and it sounded like he wanted all of us to go in their van. It seems like we have no choice since SHINee’s manager just abandoned us.

Key laughs as we were walking towards the van. “Are we going to Canada?” I couldn’t help but snicker at his question. I entered the van after Jonghyun and Minho. Key, Onew and Taemin followed and we all sat down and the van drove away.

You: “So what’s going on?” Jonghyun laughs and shouts “I don’t know!” in heavily-accented English. The other members looked worried as a cameraman came towards us with a card. Key grabs it and opens it. You: “Oppa, what is it?” Key read the card and translated it for me. “Program starring SHINee as the main characters!” Key immediately pointed to the camera and shouted “1 Night, 2 Days!” The cameraman shook his head. “Living Existence Scene!” Again with the headshaking, nope. “Will we look bad if we do something wrong?” PD: “Neh.” The SHINee members gasped. Key and Jonghyun started talking and I heard SNSD being brought up. Were they going to be a part of the show too?

Minho said the cameramen looked familiar so it might be Dream Team. Taemin then mentioned it might be a KBS show. Jonghyun put his arms up in excitement, looks like he was onto something. We all moved closer to him to hear what he thought it was.

“Hello Baby.”

I raised my eyebrows. “Hello Baby? Like, the show SNSD did?” Key gasps in delight. Key (in English): “You’ve seen it?” “Only a little bit. They took care of Kyungsan, right?” Key nods.

Onew: “So…is SNSD raising us?” We all cracked up over Onew’s question. Minho (in-between the laughter): “SNSD Hello Baby Season 2, raising SHINee!” I sat up after nearly falling out of my seat from laughing. “I love you guys but do you really think it’s Hello Baby?” Onew shrugs and spoke in English. “Maybe not.”

The van kept on driving until we reached a neighborhood. We got off the bus and Taemin suddenly made a run for it and hid behind a tree. You: “Taemin-ah, get back here! What is this place?”

The cameramen told us to follow them and we entered a traditional Korean home. We were shaking from the cold and rubbing our hands together. Jonghyun asked again what program they were doing.

PD: “The program you guys will be doing is…”

Hmm, I wondered what program they were about to say. Dream Team? 1 Night 2 Days?

“Hello Baby.”

We all dropped our mouths in shock. SHINee was going to be on Hello Baby?!

Jonghyun started laughing again. Taemin shouts in a nervous way. “Whoa, jinja?” I looked at Key and he looked really nervous. “Oppa, kenchana?” Key (in English): “Ah, I think I got to sit down.”

We all sat down in a line. I looked at each SHINee member and they were all in a daze that they were on Hello Baby right now. I sighed and stood up. “Come on, guys. What’s so bad about raising a baby?”

Key shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t think it’s bad. It’s just…are we good enough to be dads?” Jonghyun: “I’m still a kid so I don’t like them.” The members laughed a bit since Jonghyun was 20 in Korean age so he technically doesn’t qualify as a kid. Minho confessed that he wasn’t confident in raising a kid and mentioned SNSD’s baby being so young. The other members talked among themselves about what it would be like raising a kid.

You: “I think you guys will be okay.” Key then raises his eyebrows and points to me as he asked the cameraman a question. When the cameraman nodded, Key jumps up in delight. “Oppa?” “You can be an umma with us!” “Whoa, are you guys sure?” “You have some experience with babies, right?” It was true, I did help my sister back in New York raise her children so I had some experience. “Yeah but…what if the baby doesn’t like me?” “I’m sure it will. Please be an umma with us?”

The members started silently pleading to me and Minho even threw in some aegyo. I chuckled. “Okay, I’ll be an umma.” The members cheered and surrounded me in a big group hug. “All right, I’m glad you’re all happy. Can we go inside now, it’s freezing!” The members agreed and we stepped inside the house after taking off our shoes.

The wall was covered with messages from SHINee’s fans over the excitement of SHINee’s Hello Baby. As they started reading the messages, Taemin started hiccupping, making us laugh. Key: “What’s the matter with you, Taemin?” You: “I think Taemin is nervous about doing the show.” Taemin nodded in agreement as we went back to reading the messages from the fans. Taemin hiccups again. “Taemin-ah!” “Mianhe, noona.”

Key pats his back. “Hiccupping is a no-no. Hiccup again and you’re out.” Taemin held his breath and nods. I kept an eye on him, trying not to laugh at him holding in his hiccups.

Suddenly, a loud hiccup escaped from his mouth and we called him out. Jonghyun: “Taemin, are you that nervous?” “Yes, I’m—hic—nervous!”

As the other members were calling him out, I snuck behind them and scared the hell out of Taemin. “Noona! What was that for?!” “To get rid of those hiccups! Did it work?” We looked at him for a few seconds. Onew: “I think you scare him more than the baby now.” Minho: “Wait, so when do we actually meet the baby?”

We all looked at the camera crew. PD: “To meet the baby, you must pass some tests. If you fail, SHINee’s Hello Baby will end with this episode.” We dropped our mouths in shock. You: “So basically, it’s going to be Goodbye Baby.”

The camera crew led us to another part of the house and told us to put on the costumes that were inside the room. The members couldn’t stop picking at each other over the childish costumes we put on. The cameras came in and started filming us in our costumes. Jonghyun: “Is this the reality you wanted?!” We all laughed, I’m pretty sure this was exactly what they wanted.

We sat down and explained our costumes. Onew was Spiderman, Taemin was a kindergartener, Minho was the Young Prince, Jonghyun was Robin Hood and Key was Popeye.

Key: “Look at Y/N’s costume, at least she looks pretty.” “Kamsahamnida, oppa.” My costume was Cinderella. I had the gown, the white gloves and even pretend glass slippers on my feet. “So why the costumes again?” Onew: “We have to get inside the mind of a baby.” “So we’re basically children at the moment.” Taemin: “Oh gosh, this will be interesting.”

Onew clears his throat and started talking to Taemin with a baby voice. “Taemin, what’s been bothering you lately?” “Lately, my trouble is…” Onew’s baby laughter made us all lose our cool and we were falling over laughing so hard. Taemin: “My hat is too small!” Onew: “Oh, really? What about you, Minho?” Minho: “My hands and feet are contracting. I can’t believe I’m talking like this!” Jonghyun was losing it at the sound of Minho’s baby voice and he fell into Key’s lap momentarily.

Key: “You guys look like idiots. Idiots!” Onew, Taemin and Minho were embarrassed. You: “Oppa, show us how a baby really acts like then.” “Lately, Kibum has been receiving a lot of stress…that I feel like smoking!” The members laughed out loud when Key brought up the fake pipe cigar pretending to smoke it. I snatched the fake pipe cigar away. “Oppa, a baby doesn’t smoke! That’s bad!” “Mianhe. I guess I didn’t do too well.” Minho looked at the cameramen. “Sorry but can we move on?”

Jonghyun opened up the first mission. It was a test about common child care. “Okay, first question, let’s go!”

Key translated for me as the voice was speaking. “From baby signs, when a baby has 2 palms facing up, claps, then goes back to 2 palms up, what does it mean?”

We all did the hand motion that was explained. Key looked at me. “Any ideas?” I shook my head. “Sorry, oppa. I got nothing.” We did the hand motion again and Taemin spoke up. “Maybe it’s something the moms do to call them, like this!” He showed us an example and we all nodded. It seemed legit. You: “I have to agree with Taemin, I don’t think it could mean anything other than calling the baby.” Minho: “Me too.”

“Okay, that’s our answer. 1, 2, 3, calling the child!” And our answer was…BUZZ! Wrong. Jonghyun (in English): “Sorry.” You: “It’s wrong?” Key: “Then what’s the correct answer?”

PD: “It’s a book.”

“Oh, book!” We did the hand motion again. You: “Opening the book, closing the book. That does make sense.” Minho: “Can we get the next question?”

“When you look at Taemin…” We all looked at Taemin. “He looks like the type that doesn’t eat much.” You: “Yeah right!” “What does a mom have to do to fix a baby’s bad and picky eating habits?”

Taemin: “Shred it up and feed them.” Key turns to me. Key (in English):“What does your sister do?” “Sometimes, she has to force them to eat but I think that’s a bad answer.” Jonghyun: “Don’t give the food!” Key: “So you’re saying the right answer is starving the baby?” “No. Think about it, if they won’t eat food, just take it away.” You: “I guess that’s more of a good answer.”

“All right. 1, 2, 3, remove the food!” “Correct!” We all clapped in happiness.

“The answer will be either O or X. When a new baby is born and is wailing, is it good or bad to wash him?” Me and Key said the same answer simultaneously. “X!” We knew we were right, his mom was a nurse and so was my sister so we had to be right. “It’s bad!”

“Okay. 1, 2, 3. X!” We put our arms up in Xs. “Correct!” “Whoo! Next mission!”

Minho grabs a mission card and passes it to Taemin. He opens it and held it up. “Humor sense test.” You: “So what do we do for this test?” Key translated for me to the cameramen.

PD: “You will dance to children’s songs in a style that would be enjoyable for a baby.”

Jonghyun immediately got up and started dancing Ring Ding Dong. “A baby would like Ring Ding Dong!” As he sat down, the first song started playing.

Onew was the first one up to do a dance which actually wasn’t that bad and we started laughing when he slammed his hands on the floor several times. Onew sat back down in embarrassment. “Did Onew pass?” “Pass.”

“Oh!” We started clapping for him. Onew seemed surprised.

The next song started playing and this time, Minho started dancing. He made a face like Dooly the baby dinosaur and with a popping sound from his mouth came a roar of laughter from all of us. He started dancing randomly. You: “Minho oppa, what are you doing?!” The other members started singing along to the song. I just clapped my hands since I don’t know the lyrics. Finally, the song was over and Minho dropped back onto the floor. Poor guy, he looked so embarrassed. “Minho, pass.”

The next song started playing. You: “Isn’t this Power Rangers?” Taemin got up and started popping. Minho: “Taemin, a dance for a baby!” He turned and shook his so cutely, making us crack up. Taemin tried to dance cutely but for some reason, it wasn’t enough for Taemin to pass this mission. “Fail.” Taemin sat down with his head drooping.

The next song started playing and Jonghyun jumps up and started dancing cutely. It was actually going pretty well until he tried to make a cute expression making us all cringe. “Fail.” Maybe he would’ve passed this mission if he didn’t do that face.

Now it was me and Key left to do this mission. Key immediately stood up waiting for them to play the song. Key looked really confused when the song started playing and he started off his mission with a playful shout making us laugh and he then started doing a dance. You: “Hey, that’s T-ara’s dance!” Key (in English): “Help me!” Key immediately pulled me up onto my feet and I basically mirrored his dancing. Key stops dancing. “I can’t do this.”

I looked at the other SHINee members. “Get up! We have to pass!” The other members got up and we immediately started dancing again. “Pass!” We all cheered in excitement. Minho: “One more mission and we can meet the baby!”

We sat down as Minho grabs a mission card and tosses it to me. I open it and held it up to Key since I couldn’t read Korean. “Our last test is a quickness test.” You: “What kind of quickness test?” Onew got up and started dancing like crazy with his legs. Onew (in English): “Like this!” He nearly fell over slipping, several times. Key: “It looks like you’re about to fall over while skiing.”

PD: “Before you begin the quickness test, look at the monitor.” We looked at the monitor and we saw 5 baby photos and the SHINee members started laughing and I awed over the pictures. “Is that you guys?”

I pointed to the photo of the kid eating a cell phone. “Why do I have a feeling that’s Onew oppa?” Jonghyun moved closer to the monitor, dragging Onew along with him. “Who is that?!” Minho: “Onew hyung, how did you take the antenna out?” Onew: “Back then, the antenna came out.”

The monitor switched to the next baby picture. Jonghyun: “Oh, his eyes are huge.” Minho: “So is his bald head!” You: “Who is that?” Jonghyun hangs his head in embarrassment. “It’s me.”

The monitor went to the next picture. Immediately I could recognize the face of the baby wearing a ribbon. “Key oppa! Is that a ribbon?” Key (in English): “Okay, my mom used to put a ribbon on me so I’d stop crying.” I made a confused face. “A ribbon out of all things, oppa?” Onew: “How can you remember that? You were a baby.”

Next picture made Key laugh out really loud. Taemin: “Minho hyung!” You: “Minho oppa, when was this taken?” Minho: “Middle school.” “You look exactly the same.”

Last picture was definitely Taemin. Key: “Who is that pretty prince?” Minho: “It’s Taemin. I can tell from the cheeks.” The other members started teasing Taemin that he was still a baby even though he was almost 18 in Korean age. Minho: “You still have the cute cheeks.” He pinches his cheek for emphasis. “Okay, we should begin the mission or we won’t get to meet the baby.”

PD: “The quickness mission is simple: just get the baby to stop crying. Pretend the camera is the baby and do something so it stops crying.”

Jonghyun: “That’s easy. Just lock him up and he’ll stop crying himself.” You: “Jonghyun oppa!” Minho: “That’s a bad dad right there.” I shook my head. “Okay so who’s going first?” Minho: “Key.”

Key stood up and went over to the camera. You: “Okay, start!” Key looked at the camera and started fixing his hair. “Oppa!” Key jumps. “Sorry.” Key covers the camera and the sound effect of a crying baby begins. Key started singing and doing a little dance. It wasn’t working and Taemin scooted behind Key and started kicking his .

Key’s ending with punching the “baby” made him fail the mission. The members started calling him out. Key: “What did I do?” Taemin: “You hit the baby at the end!” “No, I was doing my Ring Ding Dong move.” You: “Well, it wasn’t a good move for the baby.” “Mianhe.”

Now it was Taemin’s turn. Taemin walked comically towards the camera and covered his eyes. He did a cute motion with his hands. “Cute baby, please don’t cry.” He kisses the camera and the sound of a baby giggling plays. “Pass!” Taemin sat back down. You: “Taemin made it look so easy.” Jonghyun: “That’s because he only passed for saying the baby is cute.”

Minho was up next. He started shaking his hands in front of the camera and making little noises. I tilted my head in confusion to his calming method. “Fail.” Minho drops his head and sat back down. “I say Y/N goes next.”

I shrug my shoulders and stood up. “Let’s see how this goes.” I started blushing in embarrassment as I approached the camera. “Okay…” I covered my face with my hands. “Peek a boo!” I covered my face again and every time I uncovered it, I would make a silly face. After my 3rd silly face, the sound of a baby giggling played which meant I passed.

Now it was Onew’s turn. He started off doing a b-boy style dance move before approaching the camera. “Stop!” The members started laughing and I tilted my head in confusion to this method. He started pointing at the camera. “If you keep crying, I’m going to throw you to the tiger! Stop!” I shook my head in shock as he went to sit back down.

PD: “If Onew fails this mission, Hello Baby will turn into Goodbye Baby.”

We started begging Onew to go again. Onew sighs as he got up and started off with a dance, this time being the moonwalk. He put his hand under his chin and spoke with a deep voice. “I will give you snacks if you stop crying.” He pretended to zip his lips closed and sat back down in his spot. Did Onew pass or fail? “Onew, pass!” We all gasped in shock. He actually passed? I would’ve thought he would fail for sure. Maybe because he’s new at the whole calming a baby down thing and he tried to do the best he could, they decided to allow him to pass.

Now it was Jonghyun’s turn. Now the pressure was put on him to pass the mission or Hello Baby would end right here. “I said if he cries, I’ll lock him up.” You: “Jonghyun oppa!” Minho grabs his shirt. “Knock it off or we won’t see the baby.” Jonghyun (in English): “Sorry.” He approached the camera and like Key oppa, he started off with fixing his hair. Onew called him out and Jonghyun finally started off making funny noises with his mouth. “Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry!” He continued making the noises and added in a high pitched tone. You: “Do something cute, quick!” Minho: “Wink!” Jonghyun winks at the camera and the sound of a baby giggling plays. Jonghyun sat back down laughing as we all turned to the camera crew.

“Congratulations, you pass. SHINee’s Hello Baby will now begin!” We all jumped up in joy over the great news. I was really looking forward to being an umma with the SHINee appas.

After taking off our costumes, we went into the baby house where we saw a folding screen with SHINee’s pictures on it. Taemin: “This is where we are going to play with the baby?” I suddenly thought of something. “You guys should write a message for the baby.” Key: “That’s a good idea.” Jonghyun: “Now that we’re appas, we have to tell the baby that we’re going to be the best appas to him.”

After SHINee wrote their messages to the baby on the folding screen, Key passes his marker to me. Key (in English): “Write it under my message.” “Okay.” I thought for a minute and wrote my message to the baby. “Hello baby, I will try my best to be a fun umma to you with your SHINee appas. I hope we will love each other very much.”

Taemin: “To baby: Just believe in appa. I will make you contemporary.”

Minho: “I will always make you smile, baby. I will also be a good appa so that you can grow into a good person.”

Onew: “Baby, you will grow up well because of these hyungs.” Onew drew arrows under his message that were pointing to Key and Taemin.

Key’s message was simply “Hello Baby!” Onew pointed out the way he wrote it. “Is that a misspelling?”

You: “So what’s the baby going to be?” Jonghyun: “I hope it’s a girl baby.” We all looked at him. “What?! What’s wrong with a girl baby?” Taemin: “Do you think it’s going to be a young baby?” Key: “I just hope it’s not a troublesome baby.” Onew: “Trying raising 5 children like you.” We all laughed. Minho: “So when’s the baby coming?”

PD: “In about 30 minutes?”

Taemin: “30 minutes? The baby’s already late!” Minho: “I have an idea. While we wait, let’s clean up in here and clean the snow outside.” Jonghyun: “There’s a lot of snow so we can’t let the baby slip and fall.” Key: “I’m allergic to snow.”

I turned to Key oppa with a smirk. He’s not allergic, he’s just very sensitive when it came to cold weather. I remember the first time he told me he was allergic to snow, I actually laughed in his face. He came to New York to study English during one of the coldest winter seasons and he hated the cold snow. Now Mother Nature was the same in Korea.

Key: “Let’s do rock, paper, scissors.” We all agreed and did several games. In the end, Taemin and Jonghyun went outside to clean the snow, Onew and Minho would do the dusting and cleaning inside and Key and I would work on the fire outside so there would be enough heat going into the baby house.

Key and I slipped on our shoes and walked outside where Taemin and Jonghyun were throwing snow at each other with their shovels. Key: “What are you two up to?” Taemin shoveled up some snow and threw it at Key. Jonghyun threw some snow at Key as well. “Stop it.” Taemin threw even more snow and this time, it landed on the both of us. I screamed a bit from the cold snow falling into my hoodie and onto my back. Key glares at Taemin and Jonghyun. Jonghyun suddenly runs away while Taemin backs up, nervously laughing. Taemin (in English): “Sorry!” They went back to cleaning up the snow as Key was dusting off the snow from the back of my hoodie. “Kenchana?” “It’s just really cold.” “Those pabos.” “Hey, be nice. Let’s go fix the fire.”

Key and I went over to the furnace. Key started the fire as I brought over some firewood. I looked over and saw Onew closing an open window but he accidently hit his head in the process. “Whatever he does, it’s Onew sangtae!” I looked back at the fire Key was making. “It’s still pretty small, should I get more firewood?” Key (in English): “Yes, please.” I grabbed a few more pieces of firewood and Key managed to make the fire big enough to heat the house. “Good job, oppa.” He gave me thumbs up. “Kamsahamnida.”

Some time passed as we were finishing up our duties and we all heard a knock on the door. “Is anyone home?” We all walked over to the doorway. Taemin: “Come on, yo.” Minho went over to open the door. As he opened the door, we all saw the baby and his mother. Key let out a really cute shout of awe as we all walked over to look at the baby.

Taemin: “It’s a baby Minho!” Key: “Anniyo!” I bent down to his eye level. “Hello baby!” The baby looked at me weirdly. Maybe because I’m not Korean.

Taemin: “Look at his cheeks, they’re so cute!” The baby held onto his mother’s hand and I saw Key holding his other hand. Minho: “What is his name?” “Jung Yoogeun.” You: “Yoogeun-ah!” He looked over at me and I waved my hand. He still looked at me weirdly. I was feeling a little nervous he might not get close to me.

Onew: “Let’s go inside, it’s cold!” Yoogeun’s mother lets Minho hold Yoogeun’s other hand as we walked over to the doorway of the house. “1, 2, 3! Whee!” Key and Minho lifted Yoogeun into the house by his hands. We took off our shoes and walked inside. Yoogeun separated from Key and Minho and went into his mother’s arms.

The rest of us stood on the other side. Yoogeun looked at all of us, probably wondering who in the world are the people who won’t stop staring at him. Yoogeun’s mother puts him down. Minho bends down. “Yoogeun, come here.” Yoogeun walked over to Minho and he picks him up. We were all in awe over how Yoogeun seemed to be comfortable with Minho already. I looked back to back at them. “I can’t believe how similar you two look.” Minho chuckles and looks at Yoogeun. “Yoogeun, how old are you?” Yoogeun tried to hold up his fingers but his mittens weren’t helping him to tell us his age. “You’re 4?” Onew: “He said 2.” Minho: “I think we need to formally introduce ourselves to him.” He turns to Taemin. “This is Taemin hyung.” Taemin waves to him. “Hi.”

Minho turns him towards me and Key. “This is Key hyung.” Key: “Hello, Yoogeun.” Key did peek a boo with Yoogeun and it made him giggle. “He likes it!” Minho walked over to me. “This is Y/N noona.” I just waved at Yoogeun. He touched my hand. Taemin: “Oh, I think he likes noona.” I let out a sigh of relief.

Minho went over to Jonghyun. “This is Jonghyun hyung. His hair is yellow.” Jonghyun moved closer to Yoogeun and he touched his blonde hair in fascination.

Onew: “Hello.” Minho: “And that is Onew hyung.” Yoogeun looked down at his hands. Onew: “He won’t even look at me.” Minho puts him down as Key helps Yoogeun take off his jacket and his hat. Yoogeun looks at the folding screen in fascination and points at Onew’s picture. I looked at Onew and he looked happy that Yoogeun was able to recognize him. Key picks up Yoogeun and walked over to Minho’s picture.

That’s when Onew ran away when they got close to him. You: “Onew oppa?” Onew (in English): “I’m okay.” We looked at Yoogeun looking back to back with Minho and his picture. We sat down on the floor, Yoogeun was sitting in Key’s lap and we spent a few seconds getting to know him. His mother left after Minho finished introducing us.

I looked up and saw Onew was still standing. I stood up and pulled him to the side. “Onew oppa, what’s the matter?” “I’m afraid of being near him.” “What do you mean? He’s just a baby.” “I don’t want to hurt him.” “Don’t worry so much. Sit down with us. You’ll be fine.”

We both sat down as Yoogeun switched to Minho’s lap to sit on. Yoogeun was looking down. Minho: “Do you know who we are?” Yoogeun remained silent. “Do you know Ring Ding Dong?” Still no answer from Yoogeun. Taemin got up and started dancing and singing Ring Ding Dong. “Do you know it?”

Yoogeun started playing with his hands. “Mm.”

Minho: “You know?” Taemin started dancing and singing Ring Ding Dong again. Key: “We’re the hyungs that do that.” Minho: “Key, he can’t call us his hyungs.”

Minho looked at Yoogeun. “We’re your appas now, Yoogeun.” He pointed at me. “Y/N noona is now your umma. You’re going to be living with us from now on.” I looked at Yoogeun’s reaction and it didn’t look good. Taemin: “Do you like it or hate it?”

Yoogeun continued playing with his hands. “I hate it.”

The SHINee members and I looked over at each other in nervousness. SHINee’s Hello Baby was not getting off to a good start.
