Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 11: Questions, First steps to answer them!    *inside SHINee's dorms, in the kitchen ... minho, onew, key and jonghyun sat quietly around the dining table, looking at each other ... taemin had just stepped out of the house to follow the suddenly crying sherina ...   minho: yaaaa ... our maknae is lying to us ... onew: (nods - knew all along) ... he was always a bad liar anyway ... to us, at least  ... key: i knew it the moment he said "i have a girlfriend" ... aigooo ... why'd he have to go this far, i wonder? ... jonghyun: i KNEW there was something TOO GOOD about it ... aigoooo .... tsk tsk .... but we're not gonna tell him, are we? (smirks) onew: of course not! (smirks as well) key: yeah! ... he got himself into this, we'll watch how he gets himself out ... minho: but the bad thing is ... he got an actually innocent girl involved! ...  onew: oh ... y-yeah, you're right ... but we'll have his back ...  jonghyun: who knows ... maybe he NEEDS this ... he's got to learn stuff like these the hard way ...  minho: but im a little worried ... this girl ... she's just so ... so innocent! ... jonghyun: what happened just now, i bet taemin didn't see that one coming! key: psh! ... he NEVER sees anything coming! ... like i always say, there's ALWAYS got to be something wrong whenever he plans something ... tsk tsk tsk ... onew: i was telling the truth a while back, though ... i like that girl ...we have to make sure taemin doesn't screw things up and drag her down ... minho: of course, we'll do that! key: agreed (nodding) SHINee: (looks at each other - both excited and worried)   *not too far from the dorm building ...   sherina: (walking briskly - tears falling down her cheeks) ... taemin: (running - trying to catch up to her) y-ya! ... sherina! ... wait! ... sherina: (not listening - quickly evades a passing man) man: (surprised - looks at sherina then resumes his walk) taemin: (sees the man) h-hyung? (stops - looks at sherina then at the man again) man: taemin! ... w-what are you doing out here?  taemin: manager hyung, i-i have to go right now (looks at sherina) ... we'll talk later, ok? (briskly walks past him) ... manager: ya! ... w-wait a minute! taemin: onew hyung and the others are already at the dorms ... i'll be right back (runs after sherina)   *a bit farther down the street, taemin finally caught up to sherina ...   taemin: (grabs sherina's arm - starts panting) sherina: (looks at him - wipes away another batch of tears) taemin ... this is what you want right? (tearing up again) ... r-right? taemin: what? ... (panting) sherina: YOU want this, dont you? ... me, pretending to be your girlfriend, its what you want right? taemin: sh-sherina ...  sherina: answer me, please! (already crying) taemin: y-yes but-- sherina: i told you already, didn't i? ... (sobs) ... i told you that i'd do ANYTHING if it was for you ... i told you that i love you, r-right? (sobs) taemin: (holds her other arm with his other hand to make sherina face him) ... sherina ... c-calm down ... y-you're starting to make me worry ...  sherina: (tears persistently falling) ... i-i ...(smiles a bit) ... im fine ... sorry ...  taemin: what are you apologizing for? ... what's wrong? ... tell me ... sherina: i-its nothing ... (avoids his eyes) taemin: it was something i said again, wasn't it? sherina: no .... stop that ... i'd never blame you for anything ... (wipes her tears off again) ...   *then, SHINee's manager hyung, whom they met earlier approached them ...   manager: ya, taemin! ... sherina and taemin: (looks towards him) taemin: h-hyung! ... (looks at sherina - puts his hands down)  manager: what is wrong with you?! ... you shouldn't be running around out here at this hour! ... let's go back ... taemin: b-but-- manager: (sees sherina) y-ya ... what's wrong? ... w-who is she? ... sherina: (tries to hide her tears from him by looking away) taemin: s-she's my g-girlfriend ... manager: (really surprised) what?! ... sherina: (seizes the opportunity to get away) t-taemin ... you should go back (forces a smile though still crying) ... i'll be okay on my own from here ...  taemin: no, wait ... (about to grab her hand) sherina: (steps back) ... i-i'll see you soon ... (walks a few steps away) ... taemin: sherina! sherina: dont worry (sad smile) ... im doing this for you ... so i wont run away, i promise ... (walks briskly down the street) ... g-goodnight ... taemin: (about to follow her) ... manager: (grabs his shoulder) ... taemin, im sorry ... but we really have to get back ... you
