[[to understand more, please read my first story "Song and Key " this is a sequel to that story.]]

TaeMin's POV

I grab a water bottle from the machine and walk back to our dressing room to find Minho and a girl hugging while MeiXing and YuNa look awkward.

“Minnie, you can let go,” the girl mumbles.

I look around. Me?

“You’re so tall,” she gasps.

“I haven’t seen you since I was fourteen, so I guess I’ve grown in the past few years,” he laughs at his dorky joke.

“Your eyes are the same.”

I stand on my toes to see who the girl is.

“Omo!” it’s the girl from the photo. She’s about five years older than the she is in the photo but it’s her!

She bows to me. “Anyohaseyo, you must be Taemin.”

I bow back to her.

“Taemin, this is YuHee Nuna, YuNa’s Uni,” Minho introduces us.

Such a cute Nuna.

“I hope you’ve been taking care of my sister,” she smiles.

I look at YuNa who’s glaring through her thick rimmed glasses.

I nod.

“Good,” YuHee claps. “After your interview we should grab dinner.”

“All of us?” Minho asks dazed.

“All of us,” she smiles at him.

I look at Minho. His body is slightly ridged.

“Minho Hyung,” I say slapping his back. “We need to get ready.”

“I’ll get out of your way,” YuHee says trying to squeeze through Minho and YuNa.

While walking away I notice her hand slide across Minho’s waist.

There is defiantly something between these two.

“Uni, I’ll show you around a little,” YuNa says chasing after her.

“So what’s the story?” I ask sitting down to wait my turn.

“What story?” Minho asks leaning back so MeiXing can style his hair.

I roll my eyes, “You and YuHee Nuna.”

He laughs uneasily.

“That’s right, I noticed…so what the story?” I press.

He rubs his forehead with the back of his hand. “She was my first kiss.”

“What?!” MeiXing and I say in unison.

He sinks into his chair. “Why is that a problem?”

“I thought you liked YuNa,” I say standing up and making eye contact through the mirror.

“Like I said earlier, we’re just childhood friends,” he sighs.

“I thought you liked her too!” MeiXing says hitting his shoulder.

He smiles. “She’s like my sister.”

“But not YuHee,” I say adding my two cents.

He glares at me. “She’s the twin sister of my Hyung’s best friend.”

“That doesn’t answer my question.”

“You didn’t ask a question. You made a statement.”

Touché.

MinHo's

We arrive at my cousin’s restaurant and I’m sure a few of us are sick of this place, but YuHee really wanted to come, and none of them said anything.

“YuHee?” my cousin calls when he meets with us.

“HeeGeun!” (soo sorry, I have no idea if this is even a name V.V I made it up because I’m lazy)

“How’s your brother?” he asks resting his hands on the back of her chair.

“He’s fine and at the university with MinSeok. Do you remember YuNa?”

“The little girl that made mud pies with Minho?”

I glare at him.

“HeeGeun Oppa~” YuNa sings from the other side of the table.

“Omo, you’ve grown so much.”

She laughs. “I was here yesterday, but I didn’t see you.”

He laughs, “Sorry YuNa, I was talking business in Buchan.”

She gives him a cute smile. “As long as I see you it’s fine.”

“So what will you be getting? The SHINee usual?”

We all nod.

“It’ll be out soon. Minho called and said you were coming so it’s almost done.”

TaeMin's POV

I somehow got stuck with the group going back to the girl’s apartment…again.

“We’re going to clean more?” I ask Key when we reach the door.

“Just unpack, they’re still not done. We didn’t accomplish much yesterday.”

I snort. Of course not. You and MeiXing were making out the entire time.

“You go help YuNa,” Minho says pushing me through the door.

“Wae?”

“Don’t be a child,” he scolds. I stumble into the entrance and walk to YuNa’s room.

“I’m here to help,” I say hitting the door.

The door opens and YuNa pops her head out.

“You?”

I sigh, “Yes.”

“I guess you could help me with the curtains,” she says pushing her glasses up her nose.

I step into her room and am surprised to see how neat it is.

“Your sister is much prettier in person,” I say taking one end of the rod.

“In person? Where have you seen her before?” YuNa says trying to fix the fabric on her end.

“She was in that photo book I found yesterday.”

“Nuh-uh. That book is only full of Mei Dear’s and my photos.”

I look at her. “But there was a girl with a spoon.”

She laughs as we set the rod in place.

“That was taken while I was baking a cake,” she pulls her hair out of her bun. “See?”

I shake my head no.

“Aish,” she says and the rod falls down on her head knocking her glasses off.

“Ouch,” she whispers rubbing her head.

I laugh, “You’re so short you can’t even put a rod up properly.”

I look at her in the eyes. Just like the photo, and not a day older.

My stomach starts to turn.

“Why are you so mean to me?!”

Stare at her eyes.

“Taemin, are you okay?” she asks pouting her lips.

That mouth.

“Huh?”

“Taemin-yah, I asked why you hate me so much.”

I can only seem to look at her and the sickening feeling worsens.

“Yah? Are you deaf?”

Something comes over me and I kiss her lips.

She steps back from me in disbelief.

“Wae,” she mutters and then her eyes mean mine again.

I touch the side of her cheek and press my mouth against hers.
