Chapter 44

Youngest of Pieces: [WHO- I AM] (8)

 

It’s Saturday, a day with nothing on the schedule. A rare day that is possible today because their one Korean event was cancelled last week beside from for Maria who is going to Korea to film ‘We Got Married’ and celebrate Kwon Hyunsuk’s birthday over the day. Hannah could have gone too just to congratulate him briefly, but she is sitting in the sofa, staring at the TV where three programs have passed without her knowledge and she has no idea of what is happening around her. Maria has been running around, not packing her bag though Hannah thinks she is. Julia and Emelia took a long walk with their puppies together with their managers, just to enjoy the weather and not be stuck indoors the whole day, and Carolina is sitting by the kitchen table and eating a late breakfast – or early lunch.

It has been revealed. When waking up, Hannah went video-chatting with Jonghyun again. SM had read through their announcements before the two idols posted it – on twitter, on SM Town’s page…

Hannah hasn’t looked at the reaction. She hasn’t watched the article Carolina said has come out –[BREAKING] SHINee’s Jonghyun & 5 Pieces’ Hannah Reveals They Are In A Relationship!- and neither has she looked at the comments. She fears to read it. She fears to go outside; glad she has no schedule today so she can just hide inside.

How will she do tomorrow? They have both radio and fan meeting in Yokohama, including a live broadcast. Will she be dead before that?

Spacing out, Hannah doesn’t know what to do with her life. She misses skin contact, her boyfriend’s hand to hold hers. She misses him so much and she doesn’t know when she can see him. Everything would have been so much easier if fans thought she was dating Taemin or someone else, and she could honestly laugh it off and say they aren’t dating. And she could continue to sneak behind the screen with Jonghyun.

But her members are still right. It has been three years and they are far from breaking up; for how long would they keep it a secret? Jonghyun has many times showed he wants to go out in public with their relationship, but all this time he has kept it secret just because Hannah hasn’t wanted it. To let their fans know the truth should feel like a relief, but Hannah just feels a burden. She has lied to her fans, they now know that; how will they react?

She looks over at Carolina, who is humming to some SNSD song while eating her breakfast (lunch?). Hannah has no strength to leave the sofa, and she glances at the cell phone next to her. Jonghyun said he would call her later. How much is later? She doesn’t even know what time it is. The sounds around her feel dull to her ears, as if she is trapped in a box of glass and can’t make out the noise on the outside of it and her eyes can’t see through the dim glass.

Carolina gives out a sudden loud shout, rushing to the sofa to stare at the TV, turning the volume up before she shouts out something again. Hannah can’t hear what she shouts, but she hears there is music coming from the TV-screen.

5 Pieces’ [You Said A Lie] PV is showed on the TV, which had made Carolina shout for everyone. No one seems to care though. No one seems to hear her either, which could be why. Hannah sitting just a meter away from Carolina can’t hear it for another reason than the others who are either in the shower, outside or in their room.

Carolina giggles and returns to her breakfast while singing along to the now loud music playing on the TV – from the kitchen table she can see the TV.

Hannah picks up her cell phone. Her fingers are cold. She is hugging the blanket around her, freezing. Her head is hurting too, at some strange place. She stares at her cell phone, feeling dizzy, but she starts to search online, not having a problem to find the article. Her insides are shaking again, her heart is trying to go up and she can’t focus to know if she is breathing or not. Finding her breath slowly, Hannah stares at her cell phone display while holding her arms in against her ribs to not let her whole body shake insanely like her insides are. The article just says what has been said; the two idols confessing there are in a relationship and then the confession written by Jonghyun and Hannah is written there.

They wrote their own thing, having similarities because both confessions contains the same things but written differently. Like Emelia told them to do (the ladies looked through the confessions too); it contains the confession of being in a relationship, that they decided to keep it secret from public and hided their relationship in hope it was the best thing at the moment as they both wanted to focus on SHINee and 5 Pieces, writing that the rumours now going around made them decide to step out with the truth as they don’t want to lie denying everything. It contains an apology for not telling fans earlier, feeling bad for keeping it secret…

Hannah scrolls down on the article, her breathing slow but her heart is beating faster. She hasn’t seen the response yet, she is terrified of it.

And there it is – comments. Hannah goes through the first ones, and then reads them again, and she has to read them a third time before the words actually reaches her head. She knew it, she knew all along how the comments would be like. Some writing that Hannah isn’t pretty, that it is a joke, asking if SM wants more attention, others writing that Jonghyun has Key already and that Hannah has Julia or Honggi, some blurting out words like ‘’ and other to Hannah while about Jonghyun writing he deserves someone better… The comments aren’t good, they are horrible. Someone – just one person – has commented that he/she doesn’t know who will be worst; Jonghyun’s fans or Hannah’s fans.

A few comments are written to say that SM surprises fans for letting them come out with this, and Hannah glares at that comment: it is SM’s fault they HAVE to come out with it!

The cell phone in her hand out of nowhere starts to vibrate with a loud signal and Hannah gives out a scream in the surprise, the cell phone flowing out of her hands when her whole body jumps. Carolina looks up from her breakfast – she eats very slowly today, maybe because she is reading something at the same time – and looks at Hannah strangely while Hannah lowers her head in embarrassment and picks up her cell phone, answering the call.

“Hello?” she whispers, having to clear her voice as she hasn’t spoken all morning. Everything is still dull in her surrounding, though the voice on the phone is not.

Hi beautiful,” Jonghyun answers in a sweet voice. Hannah sighs, closing her eyes and falls to lie down in the sofa.

“How was your morning?” she asks him with a pout.

It could have been better in many ways, which is why I’m calling you – my morning is already better thanks to you,” Jonghyun cheesy says and Hannah gives a small smile. “Have you read the articles?

“No… Well, only one. And the comments,” Hannah mutters. She is lying on the side, being able to see the TV from there but her eyes doesn’t see further than the living-room table.

It’s not only bad comments, Nabi, you need to read from different articles.

“You sure are positive,” Hannah sighs.

I’m sure my positivity will reach you,” he answers and she can hear the smile in his voice.

“You like it so much? That it has come out?”

It gets quiet for a few seconds on the line, but Hannah doesn’t regret her muttering questions. She is not in the mood and she can not understand why he seems to be happy when talking about fans calling her a and say he can do better. Jonghyun then gives a sigh.

And you hate it so much? Hannah, I thought you were okay with it. The ladies are…

“I’m not okay with it, Jonghyun. And they are only okay with it because they know how much I like you,” Hannah answers in a light, annoyed voice, not a loud voice though. “I didn’t like the two choices we got yesterday, but I had to choose one, didn’t I?”

Then you should have told me that yesterday and we could have tried to figure out something else!” Jonghyun sounds annoyed too, his voice though is louder. “You really hate it so much to let everyone know about us? No more hiding, no more pretend?

Hannah sits up when hearing Emelia and Julia returning with the puppies, their voices heard in the hall and Hannah hugs the blanket around her.

“I don’t say I hate it, I’m just not okay with it. It’s not you they are cursing in the comments, Jonghyun, it’s me. And I knew they would and I know it will not just be me but the ladies too. And that is not okay,” Hannah tells him, upset but still keeping her voice low to not grab attention. Carolina has left the kitchen; Hannah doesn’t know when she left, but now when Julia comes inside with a big smile talking about something from the walk, Hannah leans against the sofa’s backrest to turn away; showing with her body that she isn’t listening. Julia gets quiet after apologizing as she didn’t know Hannah was on the phone. Hannah hears Jonghyun on the phone, and she is pouting at the tears wanting to reach her eyes again. Are they fighting now when everything else is bursting?

More voices come through the corridor, Emelia and Manager Lee steps inside. Manager Lee gives Hannah a simple wave, barely looking at her as he and Emelia seems to be in a good conversation, heading inside the kitchen. Hannah only sees them, but she hears Jonghyun telling her all fans have a reaction over the surprise of the news, but that it will calm down and also that she isn’t the only one being cursed at by fans.

Maria comes inside this part of the apartment too, turning to the kitchen to say something to their manager about when they are leaving, and her voice is too loud so Hannah rushes up from the sofa, heading over to her bedroom.

“I’m not in the mood to fight, Jonghyun,” the girl whines quietly in the phone when heading to her room.

Too late for that, don’t you think?” Jonghyun snorts in her ear and Hannah shuts the door after her, “For how long have you expected us to keep this secret? Have you ever once wanted to come out with the truth or what, is it your dream to hide forever?

Hannah whines helplessly, falling down on her bed with a pout. “No!”

You’re driving me crazy, Hannah!

“You’re driving me crazy too!” she bursts out and lies down with her face in the pillow, not able to hold back the tears anymore. “I’m afraid for what will happen, Jonghyun! I haven’t seen you for four weeks and all of a sudden we write online that we are a couple, and I am told I can’t see you and I am frustrated and angry and, and… and I’m frustrated at you! You seem to have a lot of fun with what is going on and that makes me frustrated!”

She is crying against the pillow, having no idea if he hears what she is saying but she is getting it out of her and for some reason things seems clearer for her when telling Jonghyun this. Has she ever been away this long from him? Sure, she has many times when going to Sweden for school. When was that? Two years ago? It’s been that long since she graduated from school? It has been that long since she met her family last time…

I’m worried about what will happen too, and I miss you so much, trust me on that,” Jonghyun whispers and Hannah keeps crying against the pillow. “Ssssh, don’t cry.

His voice is soothing, but she keeps crying anyway.

I’m sorry,” he breathes, sounding troubled on the phone, “please don’t cry, Hannah, I’m not enjoying any part of this no matter what it sounds like. Sure, yes, I do like the thought of us not having to hide the truth anymore, but only if you like it too. Hannah, please…

She rolls around to lie on her back, having her eyes closed with the tears rolling down to her ears. She makes a sound to let him know she listens, and Jonghyun gives his own sound.

Oh jeez for how long will this go on, nabi,” Jonghyun breathes in a needy voice. “I might just as well come to Tokyo and hold on to you forever, being away from you is a nightmare.

“I will keep the window open for you,” she giggles, her legs going back and forth. She wipes the tears in her face. “Can’t you come?”

Jonghyun laughs at the hope in her voice. “I wish I could come… I would kiss each part of your body, especially your face – your nose, your cheeks, your chin… - oh, Hannah.

“You are crazy,” Hannah laughs, but she is blushing by his words, by the way he speaks them. She really wants it to happen.

Crazy in you,” Jonghyun says ily and Hannah laughs again, feeling her warm cheeks on her hand when blushing harder; it isn’t a good mix with the tears in her face. “I can feel you blush all the way to here, Hannah, I miss seeing that.

The door to the bedroom is opened and Hannah sits up with big eyes. It feels like she has been caught and she wipes the traces of tears in her face when Emelia gets inside, obviously seeing Hannah sit there but not saying anything. Hannah blushes even more and looks to face the wall.

“Has SM said anything more?” she asks Jonghyun on the phone, and he laughs in a way that makes her whole body react and she gives out a deep breath, closing her eyes. She wishes she was with him so badly.

They wanted a picture of us to use for their announcement,” Jonghyun answers.

Hannah glances at Emelia, noticing her roommate looking at her. Hannah apologizes to Jonghyun before asking her friend what it is.

“Are you two okay?” Emelia asks and Hannah nods without a word. “Maria and Manager Lee are going to the airport soon… I’m heading out in about an hour, so you can … come along, if you want. Taro will keep asking for you if you don’t come.”

Who is Taro?” Jonghyun’s voice suddenly interrupts the moment Hannah is opening to answer Emelia, and Hannah instead gives a weird smile.

“Next time,” Hannah answers and Emelia shrugs her shoulders before heading out.

Hello? Have you forgotten about me? I’m your boyfriend – who is Taro?

She rolls her eyes when falling down on her bed, smiling. “Kim Jonghyun, is it jealousy I hear?”

Who is he?” Jonghyun doesn’t sound pleased.

“He is from the band at the arena tour, Jonghyun,” she laughs, “and he only wants me to come along because I ran away from the arm-wrestling the other day.”

Arm-wrestling…?

“I can challenge you when we meet,” Hannah giggles. “Which must be soon. I want you.”

I like the sound of that,” Jonghyun says and he once again has that y voice that leaves Hannah laughing.

It knocks on the door and Hannah gives an irritated sound when turning to look at Emelia who probably will ask her if she is sure she doesn’t want to come along, but the person who opens the door is not Emelia. Hannah starts to smile, the tears returning in her eyes when seeing the father-figure Manager Lim lean inside.

“Jonghyun, I will have to call you back,” she whispers and when she has hung up she leaves the cell phone on her bed to rush up to her manager, embracing him tightly with the tears falling down her cheeks uncontrollably. If it isn’t Jonghyun, the only one she can embrace this way is Manager Lim; no person in this planet is as close as a father for her like Manager Lim is, and that is why she is crying when hugging him.

Manager Lim smiles when he holds his arms around her, standing in the doorway to the bedroom with his jacket still on. Maria is smiling outside the room, asking Hannah who the absolutely best leader is, and she is proud.

“Maria convinced me that 5 Pieces will need me here for a few days,” Manager Lim is informing Hannah, smiling sadly when hearing how hard she is crying and feeling how she is shaking in his arms, “and I knew she was right, so I came here…”

He is smiling over how Hannah has reacted to see him, making him know he is needed where 5 Pieces is. Maria says behind him that SM seems to know how much they need him because they let him come here with the agency’s money, and Manager Lim holds on Hannah in a bear hug when turning them around to look at Maria. Carolina had hugged him tightly too, but she didn’t cry like Hannah – Carolina isn’t in a relationship that just has been revealed to the whole world either, so Hannah’s crying is understood. Though Maria has shouted on the phone in anger at Manager Lim for being in Korea while this is coming out, as the leader, Maria convinced him to come: it was the only thing she could actually do. It isn’t just Hannah who needs their Appa at the moment; all girls have missed him and have so much on their minds that they are more than happy to have him over now.

“Too bad I’m going to Korea,” Maria mutters when starting to walk back to the kitchen.

“Hey, you will be with me,” Manager Lee smiles from the kitchen at her and she gives him a weird glance.

“Fun…” she mutters and then smiles, not able to hold it for her self.

Manager Lim tries to see Hannah’s face without breaking the hug, asking if she is okay. Hannah shakes her head, hiding her face on his chest. He must have gained weight; she can get that, because he gets to eat his wife cooking every single day now when he doesn’t have to be with 5 Pieces every day. It is strange to know for her that their manager has like two families – his wife and children and then another family with 5 Pieces: One real family and one family with work. Quietly he tells her to take a seat, and he closes the door to the room after them before leading her to her bed, sitting down next to each other with his arm around her so she can lean on him.

“I’m sorry for that you had to make that decision about Jonghyun and you, Hannah,” Manager Lim tells her in a low voice, his palm rubbing her arm. “Maria feels really bad she couldn’t do anything about it, and I know too you didn’t want it to come out.”

She stays quiet, just happy he is here and though she really doesn’t want to hear him apologize for something that can’t be changed; she doesn’t tell him to stop. Manager Lim starts to smile a little when she is calming down, but he holds on to her tighter.

“It has been a while since I held you like this,” he chuckles lowly for himself, and Hannah’s body shakes a little when she gives a giggle, keeping her head low on his chest. She puts her arms around his back to hug him, not remembering the last time she cried in his arms. Manager Lim continues to talk in a low voice after a long silence; “The longest time I have been away from my wife without having my arms around her is six months… It was years ago, many years ago now, but I always remember that feeling of being away from each other for so long.” Hannah doesn’t know why he tells her this. “I have always been happy for not having to share my love life with the rest of the world, which is why I have never told you anything of how to be. Yes, I have told you to not be obvious around Jonghyun, and I have had my manager role to do as I’m told, but I have not once told you how to keep it. I have seen idols hide their relationships when dating, and they have done well doing so because they broke up after a few months or a year… And I agreed to think that was the best thing to do. But … you have been with Jonghyun for three years. I know people that get married after three years.”

“I’m not getting married,” Hannah chuckles.

He is glad she is taking it lightly. “And I would lock you up if you said you were,” he jokes with her, “but what I mean is that your relationship has gone long enough; it is about time your fans finds out about you two. There are many reasons for you to not feel bad about it.”

“I have lied to my fans, Appa.”

“Everyone does. You two did it knowing how the reaction would be; you were waiting for a time to know each other more and be more sure of your situations in not just the relationship but in your careers, and this is the result,” he is telling her in the voice of a father, “Maybe it is difficult now in the beginning, but it will get easier. Isn’t that what happened when you first came to Korea too?”

“Appa…”

“At times, Hannah,” he interrupts her, “you forget how your fans see you, and that is why you are scared. You are the magnae of 5 Pieces, and that is how they see you; innocent, pure, young, hard working and with a big smile. That is what fans see, and that is why they maybe will have a strange reaction at first because having a boyfriend might change that image they have of you. It will take time for them to realise that you are still the same innocent and pure magnae that you always have been. And before they realise that, it might be difficult. And for you to not forget it again…”

He gets quiet when the door is open, and peeking inside is Julia. She flashes a smile when seeing them sit on the bed across the bedroom.

“Hi…” she whispers. “May I join you?”

Her voice is so silly that Hannah smiles, leaning away from her manager so she can focus on removing the tears covering her whole face. Julia slinks inside the room, continuing to quietly close the door and trip over to the bed before embracing the manager in a greeting, slinking down to sit on his other side in the bed.

“You will come to our schedule this week, won’t you?” Julia has her own questions that need answers. “Will you be here for our Nagoya concert too?”

“I will stay for a few days, and yes, I will be here both for your schedule and the Nagoya concert,” Manager Lim answers and puts his arm around her to get another hug. “How come all of you seem like little kids to me still?”

They laugh a little at that, but Hannah admits it feels like the ladies all become little kids around their main manager. None of them has anything against it. They miss their families, Hannah knows that when seeing Julia attached to their manager, and he is the closest to family they have here.

Hannah moves further in on her bed, sitting tailor while bending her back to be able to wipe her face from the messy tears with her cardigan sleeves. Manager Lim turns his head to give her a smile, patting her on her leg before turning back to Julia.

“Hyung-nim, we are leaving now,” Manager Lee says by the door. Maria makes her way by him and Julia claps her hands happily when Michin runs inside the room too, and he follows Maria when she walks straight up to Manager Lim and put her arms around him for a hug.

“I will miss you so much, Appa!” Maria dramatically calls out while hugging him so he groans, trying to not fall back in the bed over the tiny leader hugging him.

“You will be gone for a few hours, Maria, when will you have time to miss me?” he laughs at her.

“Appa!” Maria cries out and the others laugh at her dramatic scene.

“I will miss you too,” he laughs to satisfy her.

Maria gets out of the hug to lean over to Hannah instead, but Hannah leans back and they starts to laugh at Hannah trying to avoid the hug while Maria crawls up on the bed to force the youngest to hug her.

“I will miss you too, baby!” Maria says in a stricter tone while holding on to Hannah tight and they both fall down in the bed, Michin stuck in Julia’s arms and their manager laughing while hearing more voices hurry inside the room. Hannah can’t see anything with Maria hugging her, but she definitely feels something on the bed and the next thing she sees is Emelia over Manager Lim laughing, lying down on the bed and Carolina is on her knees in the bed to try join in the hugging too. They are all laughing.

 

After that Maria and Manager Lee has gone to the airport to spend some time in Seoul for ‘We Got Married’ filming, Emelia heads outside with some of the band members to just eat lunch and talk. Hannah stays in her bed for a while, talking some more to Jonghyun, before Manager Lim tells her to come outside and be social, so she goes out to the living-room where the others are sitting and Julia is actually sitting with a book in her hands. Manager Lim laughs at Hannah’s face-expression when she sees that.

“We’ll make dinner today,” Julia is explaining to Hannah, “and I’m trying to figure out what to make.”

“Everyone will make dinner today,” Carolina looks excited, all teeth in showed when smiling widely. “Everyone will be in the kitchen and we will cook together and enjoy dinner together and it will be a family dinner!”

Hannah spends the day at the apartment, staying away from the laptop and cell phone beside from when she talks to Jonghyun. It’s fun to have Manager Lim there; he always keeps the ladies occupied by talking about his family or some new show his wife has told him to watch with her. He makes them laugh by just laughing, and it feels like they have their father visiting them. He doesn’t even leave the sofa; Julia makes some coffee for him and she refills it for him gladly and Carolina shows the Japanese school books that she has done during the arena tour – Carolina is learning how to write in Japanese, but her speaking isn’t really getting better. Hannah isn’t sure if her friend learns anything from those school books, but she seems to enjoy bragging about it to their manager now.

A hand is put on her shoulder, and Hannah wakes up from spacing out to see Manager Lim looking at her. She is sitting in the sofa with the others, but like she has done the whole time; she isn’t paying much attention to anything.

“Want to talk?” he asks her.

She shakes her head, trying her best to give a smile but fails and instead grabs the blanket next to her to hug it tight in her arms, looking at the TV. Manager Lim takes out a deep breath, looking back at Carolina to ask her something Hannah doesn’t hear. She is off in other thoughts again, wondering what now is written on the internet about her and Jonghyun.

For the next few hours, Emelia comes back and they cook dinner together. Hannah chops vegetables and helps them to set the table, other than that she is good to just sit there and space out. She barely eats anything, and that makes Emelia glance at their manager. Hannah has done her best to gain the weight she lost, and though their schedule has been difficult for Hannah’s annoying and stubborn habits when it comes to food, she has really done her best – and now, she isn’t eating again. They all know the reason behind it; it is obvious to see that Hannah is completely in other thoughts today because of her and Jonghyun revealing they are a couple.

Later in the evening, when hearing Maria is soon landing at the airport coming back to Japan, the others are sitting in the living-room and Manager Lim is laughing at Carolina trying to translate the Japanese show they are watching. Not even Hannah can hold back her laughter at it.

That laughter stops quickly when the Japanese show mentions 5 Pieces’ Hannah and the whole apartment goes quiet. A picture of Jonghyun pops up next to Hannah’s on the TV-screen while the hosts on the show are talking.

And today it was revealed by SHINee’s Jonghyun and 5 Pieces’ Hannah that they are a couple, can you believe that? For a few days it has been rumoured that the two have been dating, and this morning both parts came out with a confession that they have been a couple for a while. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure there is thousand of fans right at this moment crying their hearts out over the news.

So am I, so am I!” one host says with a laugh.

Hannah looks blankly at the screen. It is strange, having her name talked on the Japanese entertainment news like this, with Jonghyun. A clip of first SHINee at their arena tour last year and then a clip of 5 Pieces’ current arena tour are showed while the hosts keeps talking. They say the couple is both under SM Entertainment, saying that is how they got close and also mentioning that the members in both groups are good friends and since they are young it isn’t strange that feelings are very sensitive. Hannah can feel the colour disappearing from her face; her whole body is cold when hearing them talk on the TV.

Jonghyun and Hannah got nicknamed ‘y Collaboration’ last year when they released a song together called [Get Your Kiss],” the host is saying while a clip of Hannah and Jonghyun performing the y song on SHINee’s concert last year. “And surely it is y!

She isn’t sure if she hears what is said next, all she knows is that she is up from the sofa and heading inside her room. It is Manager Lim who hurries after her first, and he sits down on the bed she is laying on, hiding herself under the quilt facing the wall. He doesn’t say anything, just sits there and trying to figure out what to say.

Hannah is crying.

‘y Collaboration’ and ‘simple teenage feelings since their groups are good friends’? They were making fun of her! Hannah is slow at noticing things often, but something she does notice is when people are making fun of her. The Japanese hosts where just fooling around, telling it as if it was a joke!

Another voice in her head says that they don’t know better. No one knows for how long Hannah and Jonghyun has been a couple, all that has been said is “for a while”. Everyone might think they have been a couple for half a year or so, not knowing that it goes back to the beginning of their friendship, to when Hannah didn’t know Jonghyun liked her and Jonghyun didn’t know she liked him.

And then there is a third voice repeating what Manager Lim told her earlier today – her image of being the youngest. In Japan her innocent image is bigger, though she is y on the stage. she shows it a lot on the TV programs they appears on, she is told to act a certain way, to be the youngest and innocent member. Maybe they can’t take it serious because of that. ‘They are young and in love, that is so cute’.

But why is she crying to see it on the entertainment news? It has come out, it is everywhere… No, she doesn’t know if it is everywhere, she has been locked up in the apartment the whole day. She doesn’t know anything.

“Ah, I’m already tired,” Hannah sighs, her tears abruptly stopped. She turns around in the bed, watching her manager who pouts out his lip when seeing her tear-filled face.

“You want to sleep?” he asks her.

She closes her eyes. “I’m tired of what was on the TV,” she mumbles.

“Oh…”

Hannah lies more comfortably, lying to see out in the room and Manager Lim is looking down at the floor, not thinking he can look at her face looking like that. It doesn’t take many minutes before Hannah sits up, leaning behind her manager to get the laptop. He looks at what her fingers are doing when the laptop is on.

“Are you sure you want to do that, Hannah?”

He sounds worried, but she just nods, pouting for herself. She needs to know what articles there are, how the reaction is. She could be crying for nothing.

There are a lot. Articles about her and Jonghyun – -SM Entertainment Confirms SHINee Jonghyun & 5 Pieces Hannah Being In A Relationship- is the newest one. She looks through it, seeing that a person from SM has confirmed it too that is written in the article;

 

“Jonghyun and Hannah have known each other for five years and with their group’s good friendship the two of them have with time developed a closer relationship as they have many interests shared and they found each other’s support and comfort in difficult times.

Their seniors and members have all been witnesses to the growth of their friendship and are hoping all their fans will be happy for them too and show a warm support to them both.”

 

She grimaces when reading it. She has no idea of who confirmed it from the agency, and honestly, she doesn’t care.

It is a big difference on the comments depending on where you look. On the international sites that is in English, most comments are about fans being jealous and wishing the couple luck, writing ‘oh, I didn’t expect them… but sure, they look good together’ or ‘short and y couple xD’ while others thinks it is some PR-trick (how, Hannah can’t even sue all her imagination to figure that out), while on the Korean sites there are a lot of hate and ugly words and threats. Hannah gets confused over it all – are international fans more mature?

No…

- “I must admit I am looking forward to see more of this couple. Whey are both great artists with great voices and bodies and when they performed [Get Your Kiss] and [It’s OK] I told myself that if they ever dated, I would support them 100% because they seem like the sweetest backstage and then on stage they become the iest. Totally shocked for SM to let their artists date, but I guess love will always be love whether you are an idol or not. Good luck!”

- “WTF I’M SHOCKED!”

- “Lucky ! I am a girl, but my heart belongs with 5 Pieces because Hannah is hot as the sun and she has the most adorable personality. Jonghyun better treat her right or I will come with a Puzzle Army and kick his tiny Korean !!!”

- “I’m just waiting for the comments popping up about Hannah wanting Korean guys -.- antis are jealous! Anyway… dunno what to say about this couple… … didn’t see it coming though”

- “They both will be so hated from each other’s fans”

- “Are you kidding me?????? A COUPLE???? How the heck did that happen???”

- “Break up is the solution to each relationship”

- “Haters are idiots. Both Hannah and Jonghyun are adorable, I wish them the best of luck”

- “Does this mean 5 Pieces will finally go back to Sweden and never have to come back to k-pop? =D”

- “This isn’t happening, this is seriously not happening. I demand Key to catch back his man right away from that blonde bimbo!”

- “For how long is my question, because I can go back years and see cute moments between these two… Have they been a couple all the time 5P has been in Korea or what? Still, I was hoping Hannah and Honggi would get back together – they looked great together at their drama”

- “Now all my albums are on the floor. My fandom just broke in half =(”

- “I want to wake up and this was all a bad dream… Please don’t be real!!!”
