Just Let Me Get To Know You

Iris POV

Ms. Choi and I began walking down a hallway towards a grand staircase. Ms. Choi turned towards me and began to talk.

“I’m glad that you are going to be in my class. I hope you will have a great time. I have a feeling that you’re going to be popular around here.”

“Popular? Me? I’m not that special,” I replied.

“Oh, yes you are. You’re different from everyone else in this school. They’re going to want to know you….Ah here, my classroom is at the end of this hallway.”

We began to walk down a long hallway, with classrooms on both sides. In the windows, I see students staring at me.

I guess I know how animals at the zoo feel with us just plainly staring at them.

“See? You’ve barely spent 15 minutes here and you're already famous."

We continued walking down the hallway and heard someone whistle at me from behind.

Hold up! Did someone just whistle at me?

I immediately stopped walking and turned around to find who did it. The idiot decided to whistle at me again. I glared at him so hard that everyone I wasn't looking at felt it. It got quiet.

I smirked at him and turned around to continue walking with Ms. Choi. We finally arrived  to the room. Just before I walked through the door I took a deep breath.

You can do this... I got dissss!

I lifted my head up and walked into the classroom.

"Annyeonghaseyo, class. Everyone settle down get into your seats......Min Jung, put your cell phone away. Students we have a new person joing our class. Iris, come and introduce yourself," Ms. Choi instructed.

“Okay.. um my name is Iris Arcadia. I’m from New York and it’s nice to meet you all,” I said and smiled.

“OOOOOoohhh, “the students said while they were clapping.

 

Onew POV

Wow.. she’s beautiful…. Iris? Iris…Iris.. It has a nice sound to it -

Jinki, raise your hand. Iris, sit at the desk next to Jinki,” Ms. Choi said to both me and Iris.

Iris smiled at me and walked to the next to me. As she walked by I could smell vanilla.

Mmmm Vanilla. 

“Okay class, this is the end of homeroom. After fifteen minutes, we will start Korean class,” Ms. Choi said and then she walked out.

As soon as Ms. Choi stepped out of the room, everyone turned their attention towards Iris. They got up and tried to talk to her, trying to impress her with the small amount of English they knew. I couldn’t help but to stare at her and her amused expressions as she tried to communicate with the other students.

“Guys, watch this. This will be a piece of cake,” Jonghyun said to Minho and I and walked up to Iris.

“Hello,” and he picked up her hand and kissed it.  “My name is Jonghyun and you belong with me,” and he gave her his best googly eyes.

This is the point where girls fall for Jonghyun, but the strangest thing happened. She gave him this indescribable look and busted out laughing.

She wiped off her hand on her skirt and said, “Umm I don’t belong with anybody and I don’t know you,” and she turned away from him. I couldn’t help but laugh. Jonghyun glared at me and sulked to his seat.

“Soooo smooth there, Jonghyun hyung,” Minho said.

“Don’t worry, once she hears me sing, she’ll instantly fall for me. Puddy in my hands” Jonghyun replied, using hand gestures.

“Yeah, suuuree. She’s different from all the other girls here. I wonder if she’s into sports. That’d be cool,” Minho said.

Taemin and Key came back towards us and began to tell us their interactions with Iris.

“I used my aegyo on her and she called me cute. Hehehe,” Taemin said while smiling.

“Who doesn’t think you’re cute when you use your aegyo?” Minho replied.

“She told me my English was good. I wonder if she’s into shopping and fashion..” Key trailed off.

“Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, who cares…I don’t,” Jonghyun bitterly replied.

“Okay then…Onew hyung, you haven’t said anything. You should go talk to her.”

“Me?" I said.

Why would someone beautiful like her talk to me?

“No, I shouldn’t. She seems busy,” I replied.

“You’re a chicken… hahhahah.. pun intended,” Key said. Then he nodded to the other members and they all got up and pushed me towards Iris’s direction. She looked up at me and smiled.

“Uh, Hi. You’re Jinki, right?” Iris asked.

Her voice… snap out of it man……Onew, breathe, man BREATHE and SPEAK. This has never happened before.

“…..Jinki…uhhh....Onew…” I said.

Smooth, reaaalll smooth. I mentally smacked myself in the head.

“Onew? Is that your nickname?” Iris asked.

SPEAK!

“Yeah. That’s what everybody calls me. So you’re from New York?” I replied

Okay, okay, now we’re getting somewhere.

“Yeah, I lived there practically my whole life. Moving here was a huge jump.” Iris said.

Before I can ask Iris another question, Ms. Choi came back in to begin our Korean class.

Ms. Choi ….“great” timing. Smh.

“Everybody sit down. Let Iris breathe without you guys shoving questions down . Now we will begin our lesson,” Ms. Choi said.

While Ms. Choi was teaching, I couldn’t help but steal glances at her. As I turned to look over at her again, she caught me looking at her.

Aww crap! What should I do?!? Should I look away, pretending that I was not starting at her the past 10 times since class began? Should I smile? Hmmmm. Well since she caught me, smiling seems like the best choice.

I awkwardly smiled at her and she smiled back and turned towards the board.

Whew, dodged a bullet there.

Jinki? Jinki? JINKI?! Are you paying attention? What is the meaning of this poem?” Ms. Choi asked.

Busted..

“Umm sorry Ms. Choi. I do not know, I wasn’t paying attention,” I replied.

“Start paying attention. The meaning is…” Ms. Choi said as she began to teach again.

Man, this is not going to work, if Iris is sitting next to me for the rest of the year. I'll end up staring at her and be creepy... ughhhhh

What am I going to do with myself?

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.).
