Twenty One.
Behind His Idol LifeMINJUNG'S POV
It’s been a month since I last saw Jinki.. We even rarely talk on the phone or text me. I don’t know.. but It kind of worries me. It’s like something is wrong right now but I could not tell what it is. Every time we talked on the phone, seems like he’s tired of talking unlike before, he can talk to me until past mid night. One time, we conversed like this
“So when are you coming back?”
“I don’t know”
“Oppa, is something bothering you?”
“Nothing.”
“Then why are you speaking to me like that?”
“Like what?”
“You’re cold to me”
“I’m not”
“Fine. If you want to talk like this, its up to you. I’ll hung up now”
“Wait. Mianhe, I’m just so tired” I started to calm myself
“Okay. Seems like youre tired. Sleep” then I hung up on him
That was the last time we talked.
Even at home, I cant hide the fact that it is bothering me. So this is the consequence of having an idol as your boyfriend. As time goes by, they wont have time for you. I sighed. Mom caught me and asked what’s wrong. It’s a good thing that Mom’s company posponed her flight. It’s on next Saturday.
“Baby what’s wrong?”
“I don’t know mom”
“You don’t? then why are you upset?”
“Jinki and I.. we are having a little misunderstanding. I think he’s cold towards me”
“Maybe jinki is tired honey. Idol life is tiring too”
“I know mom, that’s what im trying to understand”
“Why don’t you pay him a visit on his practice?”
“Is that okay?”
“Ofcourse honey. And bring some snack for the rest to eat”
“Ne Umma, Kamsahamnida”

I walked happily on the streets going excitedly on Sme. I brought cupcakes with me that I bought on our favorite café. I cant wait to see him and s. You know, I really really really miss him. If I see him, I’ll just run and hug him tightly.
I rode the bus and hum on my way. After several minutes, I walked in and now in front of the building. There are some young girls waiting for an idol to come out. They are so ready with their camera. They caught me and asked
“Eonnie, are you going there?”
“Ne. Wae?”
“you must work there right?”
“A-An—“
“When will our oppa come out?”
“Oppa?”
“SHINee Oppas”
I balled my fist and gave them a fake smile
“Maybe they wont come out ever again”
What’s gotten into me? Jealous all of a sudden? They are just fans. What the hell is wrong with me today?
I walked to ajhussi and smiled to him. Seems like he recognized me and I bowed into him. I started a little conversation
“Annyeonghaseyo Ajhussi”
“Ne. Onew’s girlfriend right?”
“Ne” I smiled sweetly. Wow he does know me
“They are inside, practicing”
“Kam sa ham ni da”
“Ara. Have a good day”
“Wait—can I just enter?”
“Of course little girl, Sme staffs knows you. Onew brags about you”
“Me?”
“I was just kidding”
“Then I’ll be on my way now. Thank you again” I bowed and entered

I walked on the alleys to spot when SHINee is practicing. This building is really huge. Then there, I heard a familiar sound. A SHINee song. I followed it and Bingo! SHINee in their sweat shirts practicing. I knocked and they lowered the volume. Taemin was the first one to greet me
“Hello Noona! Nice to see you again”
We all bowed to each other.
“What is this?” Key asked
“Cupcakes. For all of you” They all smiled and Taemin jumped
I was looking for someone but cant find him. Then suddenly, Minho said
“Onew Hyung?” I nodded “He went outside a while ago, holding something”
“Will he be back?”
“Of course” Jonghyun said while having a bite of the cupcake
“But you can just search for him. He’s just somewhere there”
“Okay. I’ll go then” I walked on the door “And… Leave the blueberry cupcake to Jinki okay?”
“NE!” they all cheered
Walking and walking. I met so many faces today and they
