(A/N: Listen to this as you read this chapter! Just to put some mood into it! Enjoy my lovelies! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7K4k0dRg2w ►►►)

"Bye honeybun, see you soon!" Kibum said as he got out of the car.

"Mmm! Eat lots and drink lots of water okay?" I said and he nodded, then grabbed his luggage from the trunk. I was at the airport dropping him off, with his car. The members were already waiting for him at the crosswalk. They were also exiting from their van. We were unloading on the other side of the crosswalk as to not attract attention.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" He jogged to the driver's seat window and I opened the window.

"What?" I asked, confused. Then he kissed my forehead.

"That! I can't leave without doing that," he scoffed like it was the most ridiculous thing that I even asked. I couldn't help but smile and I kissed his cheek right after.

"Okay, go go you idol!" I closed my window and waved at him as he ran back to the other side.

"So this is what it's like to date an idol," I smiled and shook my head at how much has changed since I met Kim Kibum. I rushed to park at the closest parking spot I could find and rushed inside the airport, carrying something I prepared all night.

When I got inside, there were so many reporters, cameras, and obviously, fans. I caught a glimpse of SHINee, walking across the street, to get inside the airport, stopping briefly for pictures of their airport fashion. I wanted to be inside, right by the railings so they would be able to see me when they're entering the point of no return. I was among a sea of fans, but thankfully nobody recognized me because they were too busy focusing all their attention onto SHINee who was now entering the airport. I unrolled the poster size paper and held it up. It was a fan sign that said,

SHINEE OPPA-DEUL, I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU! ONEW OPPA, WE MISS YOU ALREADY!

And at the very bottom, it said, with pink lettering, so that it stood out.

Also, I love you, Kim Kibum!

Among the sea of fan signs, mine barely stood out, but I quietly hoped they would see this. I suddenly wished that Kris was also here with me, holding up a sign because after ten seconds of holding it up, I suddenly felt embarrassed at what I was doing. Aigoooooooooooooo!

I was at the very edge of the railings that were blocking the path for the members and managers to walk through, so I would be impossible to miss, unless they decide not to look at the fans.

The members were almost in my line of vision and my heart beat faster and faster. I had no idea why, I just saw them yesterday at their dress rehearsal. For this moment, I just felt like a fan again. Not their close friend, but just another shawol. I smiled at the thought then frowned after feeling my arms ache from holding up the sign over my head. I raised up my sign highed than everybody else, because most of them were holding up their signs just in front of their face.

"They they are!"

"They're coming!"

"Oppas! Fighting!!!"

So many fans were cheering them on and I couldn't help but be proud of my fandom. (A.N: I take such a huge pride in my fandom, for real.)

Jonghyun looked in my direction and saw the sign I was holding up. He looked down at me and laughed, taking tiny steps, clapping his hands. He pulled the other members' clothes and made them look my way. Taemin took off his mask and smiled the biggest smile I'd ever seen. Onew waved with both his hands and I didn't respond, waiting for Key to look my way. Him and Minho were bowing to fans to the other side. Onew pulled them and they finally saw me. Minho shoved Key and jumped up and down behind him. All the fans were confused and the managers too. They had no idea why the members slowed their walk and they watched Kibum approach me. Omo omo, don't walk any closer, Kibum-ah! Yah! No! I'm surrounded by fans! Yah!

I yelled at him in my head but in reality, I froze. I watched this beautiful man walk slowly towards me. As he neared, I backed up. By this time, everyone was looking at me.

"Oh it's her!!!"

"Omo! That's the girl!"

"It's the one-night stand?"

"The girl from the interview, remember!?!”

"It's really real!"

"It wasn't staged!"

"They're really dating??"

So many whispers began, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Kibum. He was already in front of me, on the other side of the railings and he gestured for me to come closer. I inched forward, forgetting everybody else around.

"I love you too, Ellie-ah," he whispered just for me to hear. The fans screamed and squealed around me. My eyes widened and the members clapped and cheered. The managers, stylists, and everyone else just looked at us. I moved back and stared at him. I couldn't help but smile until my jaw hurt. "I hate to leave like this, but i'll call you tonight, okay?" he winked and jogged back to the members who were all still cheering us.

"Thank you, Ellie-ah!"

"Ellie-ah! See you later!"

"We wish you were coming too," the members waved at me and I didn't know what to do, so instead I bowed. To show the fans that I still respected SHINee even though we seemed like close friends at this moment. The fans around me just stared at us, back and forth with their mouths hanging open. I heard them laugh and I looked back up to get a last look at Key and he waved at me. I waved back and the second he stepped inside, I ran out of there as fast as I could. I didn't care if it looked ridiculous to see a person running out of the airport. It could've looked like I did something illegal inside the airport if security was watching, but I was thankful there was no airport security after me. However, there were fans  trailing behind me. Sasaeng fans??? OH NO, OH NO.

"Let's catch up to her fellow friends!"

"We need to know everything!"

Were they wanting to know because they were curious or were wanting to know so they could beat me up or something?

It didn't take long for the reporters outside the airport to take my pictures, as well as reporters running after me. I decided to cover my face, an automatic instinct i've been having to do since the interview about our relationship was released. I found the car and jumped inside.

Where's a manager when you need one???

When I got inside the car, people surrounded it. I couldn't get out of the parking spot, unless I was willing to run these people over. I locked my doors immediately and kept one hand over my face.

"Doing that banner thing was a bad idea, why did I do that, aish," I smacked my forehead, realizing it was a stupid idea. Then suddenly somebody banged on the hood of the car. I jumped in shock.

"Oh my God!" I yelled. I looked at what it was and it was Kris. Kris!!!! OH THANK GOD! I couldn't hear what she was saying but she started urging people to leave, signalling for them to back up. She looked like my manager doing this that I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous this situation was.

A few people started backing away from the car, but they didn't leave. There was enough space for Kris to slide inside the front seat then I received a huge smack to the back.

"What were you thinking? What were the members thinking saying hi to you? What was Key Oppa thinking approaching you?? Are they nuts? They should've known this was gonna happen, I saw everything!" Kris yelled.

"I thought you weren't coming???" I asked. "I thought you couldn't handle the sadness of seeing Onew leave for his last concert before enlistment?" I yelled back.

"I couldn't help but see them off, okay?" She said, irritated but lowering her tone of voice. "Let's go before they start surrounding you again," she shrugged then I gave her a tight hug.

"Thanks chingu," I said.

"Of course, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't do that," she pushed me away from the hug. "Oh my gosh, go go! More people are starting to come!" Her voice shook as she said this. I revved the car and people jumped back.

"Ha! That's right, move back people," I muttered. I kept my head down as I drove out of the parking lot. I probably would be yelled at for this later.

            “I’m practicing right now,” I plopped onto my stomach and put my phone in front of me. “I came from class,”

            “Oh really? Don’t work too hard, you can’t get sick,” Kibum said, putting his face closer to the camera.

            “How’s rehearsal?” I asked him, ignoring his advice.

            “It’s okay, we’re getting out makeup done in a few minutes, we just all suddenly felt that this was our last concert together without Onew Hyung…” his voice made me want to fly on over to Japan and give him a hug.

            “Ottoke… I can’t imagine how sad it must be… I feel like all the fans would be crying at the concert tonight…” I said quietly.

            “Yah! Are you telling her how sad you are?” Jonghyun slapped Key’s back and waved at me.

            “You were the one crying earlier!” Kibum yelled at him.

            “Yah, aish, be quiet. I wasn’t crying,” he said quietly, looking around.

            “It’s okay we all know you’re super emotional, Jonghyun-ah,” one of the makeup Noonas said. Kibum and I let out a laugh and clapped our hands.

            “Aigoo, okay go get ready, I’m gonna practice before your precious Ye Jin walks in and yells at me for laying down,” I rolled my eyes.

            “Ye Jin again? Aigoo, you-“ he started.

            “I’m just kidding!” I smiled. “But she’s getting more and more irritable to me,” I rolled my eyes again.

            “Okay okay, arasoooooo, I’ll make sure to look up clips from the concert! Fighting SHINee Oppas!” I stood up and yelled.

            “Aigooo, she’s so cute!” Jonghyun giggled.

            “Yah! Who are you to call her cute?” Kibum raised his eyebrow at him and pushed him.

            “Me? I’m a… Fan Oppa,” he said and waved at me. “I’m your fan Ellie!” he said in English.

            “hahahaha, ok ok, go get ready you two! Annyeong-yong!” I said cutely.
