Seventeen.

Just Let Me Get To Know You

Song of the chapter: Shine - Brittany Nicole (Youtuber... She's really good c:)


 

Iris’s POV

Mia, darn you for being so athletic because trying to catch up to you, is so hard to do right now.

I quickly hurried up and walked into the apartment. I made my way to Mia’s room, to find her pacing back and forth, muttering to herself.

“Dude what happened back there? Onew Oppa and I called you but you turned around and kept on running? Wasn’t Minho Oppa supposed to bring you here?” I wondered.

“I can’t believe I did that,” Mia said to herself repeatedly while rubbing her hands across her face.

I grabbed and shook her. “Mia! What’s going on? You’re scaring me right now.”

Mia took a deep breath and quickly said, “Sowewereplayingbasketballandhefellonmeandthenikissedhimandran.

She kissed him? SCORE! I gotta tell Onew about this.

“What? I thought I heard you kissed him. Repeat that one more time,” I said.             

Mia took another deep breath and slowly said, “Okay, I kissed him… more like pecked him and he had this wide eyed look and I panicked. So I apologized and ran. Ughh, it’s going to be so awkward at school tomorrow.” She fell on top of her bed, faced down.

“Do you like Minho?” I cautiously asked.

“Mmh,” Mia muffled.

“What was that?” I asked as I turned her over.

“…yes… well more of a crush….*sigh*… yes I like him,” Mia groaned and turned over.

“I KNEW IT!” I blurted out.

“What?!” Mia exclaimed, sitting up on her bed.

“Onew Oppa and I had a hunch that you two would like each other, since the first time you guys met. Now, all we have to do is confirm that Minho Oppa likes you,” I explained.

“Well, he doesn’t. You should’ve seen the look on his face after I kissed him. It was all like this, O.O,” Mia said while imitating Minho.

“Of course, he would look like that. You randomly kissed him, babo,” I said while laughing.

“Ughh, now my chances are all gone,” Mia said.

“You don’t know that,” I trailed off.

“So while you were stealing kisses from Minho Oppa, the best thing happened to me,” I cheerfully said.

“What?” Mia asked.

“Onew Oppa confessed that he liked me and then asked me out,” I squealed.

“OH MY GOODNESS! WAAAAH IRIS… Wait what did you say?” Mia shrieked while hugging me.

“I said yes, of course,” I smiled.

“At least one of us has our love life in check,” Mia slumped down on to the bed.

“It’ll be fine… I promise,” I smirked with an idea in my head.

 

Ring Ring Ring. It was Onew.

 

“Oh it’s Onew,” I smiled.

“Go ahead take it. I’ll be here drowning in embarrassment,” Mia said.

“Hello Oppa,” I said cheerfully.

“Hey Iris, did you hear that Mia kissed Minho?” Onew asked.

“Yeah, she just told me. She’s so embarrassed, but she totally likes Minho,” I replied.

“That’s good, but I’m still not sure how Minho feels about her. He seemed dazed after he told me about it,” Onew said.

“Hmm… let’s give it time and we’ll set them up on that movie date,” I replied.

“Yeah we should… speaking of dates…. Are you free this Friday?” Onew cautiously asked.

“Why, yes I am, may I ask why,” I giggled.

“I would like to take out my wonderful girlfriend, if that’s fine with you?” Onew questioned.

“Yes, it is… I would love to go,” I laughed.                                                                                                                            

 

-Friday at school-

 

Sadly, no progress has been made between Minho and Mia. They've become ridiculously awkward around each other.

I guess we have to set them on that date soon...

“Hey are you excited for our date tonight,” Onew asked while snacking on his sandwich.

“Of course I am. Oh before we leave, Daddy wants to meet you,” I replied.

“Your Dad. Wants. To. Meet. Me?” Onew slowly said with a grim look on his face.

“Don’t worry about it. He won’t kill you, but he might be a little bit tough,” I chuckled.

“He probably will. The only thing he has left is Iris, so don’t screw it up,” Mia laughed while patting Onew on the back.

“Don’t scare the man,” I said to Mia, swatting her away.

“It’ll be fine, just be yourself. Hey come with me,” I said motioning Onew to follow me to the music room. Once we were in the music room, I picked up a random acoustic guitar of the shelf and sat down.

“Lately, you inspire me to write a new song. I want you to hear it. Hopefully this will make you feel better, okay?” I said and Onew smiled and nodded. I took a deep breath and began to play.

 

The words that you say, they won't go away.
They're stuck in my head and for the rest of the day
I can't think straight.

'Cause I contemplate everything and sit all alone,
With my heart in my hands,
I'm ready for it to be yours.

And I hate when my eyes get easy to read.
They feel light as the sky but, I love it at the same time.
 
And when yours lock with mine... I shine.

You've got your one liners, you've got your good looks.
 But, I never thought that I'd get this hooked on you.

'Cause my mind starts to wander, and I think of us.
And the time that we laid on your basement floor carpet and talked.

 And I hated the way that I looked at you that night.
With a smile on my face, but a heart that was full of fright.
But, when our worlds collide... I shine.

I want to trust you.
I want to need you.
I want to trust you.
'Cause I want to love you.

But, loving you is not hard to do.
 
'Cause every time that I look in your eyes...
I shine.

Once I finished playing, I put the guitar down and looked up at Onew. He was beaming.

“This definitely made me feel better,” Onew said and hugged me.

 

-Friday Night-

 

“Here put on this dress. Onew won’t stop staring at you if you wear this,” Mia said while handing me a dress.

“I guess,” I smiled and Mia pushed me into the bathroom.

Ding Dong.

“What he’s here already,” I yelled from the bathroom.

“Oh so you must be the boy who’s trying to take out my daughter tonight,” I heard Daddy say.

Uh oh…Onew  FIGHTING!

Chapter 26: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
So I cried when she broke up with Onew, fell out of my chair when she lost her memories, cursed Jonghyun when I realized that maybe he was going to use that to his advantage (he didn't thank God), and cried again (out of happiness) when she got back together with Onew.

I ran an emotional marathon just now...

Chapter 7: So, Onew and Jonghyun, huh? I see where this is going, I think.

At this point, something I really like about the story is that I can actually picture myself as Iris, because we share the same skin color and would, effect have similar experiences in such a homogenous country. I am going to Japan in a month and a half and am definitely gearing up for some staring and questions. Maybe hopefully, I'll also have a love story...? Lol, probably not, but heres to hoping!

Chapter 3: Ok, girlfriend, let me tell you:

I love this fic already. I know I am only in the beginning of it, but I was looking for a good read that was also ambw. I am black and not that I don't love me some good ol fashioned korean on korean love, it's just that sometimes I need a change of pace.

This was just what I was looking for.

And even better, it's SHINee, the first K-pop group I ever loved with so much force I could stop Superman.

To make a long story short: Thanks for writing this story! I'm off to continue reading (I am one of those readers that will spam you with comments every chapter even if the story is completed. You have been warned.).
