(Part 2)   taemin: w-what are you doing here, hyungs? (surprised) key: oh? don't you want us here? onew: been doing a good job, you two? (smiles) well, judging from the smiley faces of the staff members, i'd say you have ... im glad ... taemin: (pouts) none of you answered my question ... jonghyun: we were bored at home so we figured we'd visit you here (smirks) ... it's not everyday that our maknae has a photoshoot with a girl ... without us (giggles) minho: (pats taemin's back) taemin: you're all acting really weird ... minho: what are you talking about? (innocent expression)   FLASHBACK *that morning, after taemin and sherina left for the studio ... the rest of SHINee had a small conference in their dining room ... minho: so ... what time are we going there? i thought we were gonna go with them just now ... jonghyun: no, no ... taemin's gonna figure it out if we do that ...  onew: good point ... our maknae has always been quick-witted .. jonghyun: we should go a little later today ... key: so then, how are we supposed to confirm sherina's love? jonghyun: (smirks) easy! ... we'll use the oldest one in the book: the jealousy tactic (giggles) ... onew: (nodding) ohhhh ... im starting to get it ... taemin told us before that sherina was attracted to all of US first before she even noticed taemin, right? key: (laughs) i couldn't stop laughing for a while when he said that ... aigoooo ... taemin's pouts were so cute!! minho: so this "jealousy tactic" involves US making taemin jealous? ... i thought we were confirming sherina's love not taemin's! onew: who says we can't do it for BOTH of them? (smirks) SHINee hyungs: (look at each other then smirk) END OF FLASHBACK   key: aigoooo! sherina, you look amazing! (smiles) sherina: a-ah ... thank y-you, o-oppa ... onew: wow ... (touches sherina's long extensions) "rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair!" key: ya, this length doesn't even cut it for rapunzel's hair, you know ... this hair is only down to what, her knees? ... totally not enough ... jonghyun: (hands taemin his phone) take a picture for us, maknae (smiles) taemin: h-huh?  SHINee hyungs: (pose around sherina - playing around with her long hair) sherina: (smiles shyly) taemin: eh?! ... i wont be in the picture? (pouts) minho: ya ... you've been taking pictures with her ALL day ... can't you give us a chance too? taemin: (sighs in defeat) fine ... (holds the phone up) ok, one ... two ... three!  SHINee hyungs and sherina: (pose) taemin: (snap) there ... hye rin: (enters the room) o-oh! (bows a bit to the SHINee members) so you WERE here! i thought the staff members were only joking! (surprised) SHINee hyungs: (bow and greet her) hye rin: i just want to have a talk with taemin for a bit, is that ok? onew: sure (smiles) ... taemin and hye rin: (exit the room)   *when taemin and the photographer left, the SHINee oppas immediately turned toward sherina with sly smirks on their faces ...   sherina: (flinches) w-why are the oppas looking at me like that? key: (smirks) so! sherina ... taemin mentioned to us once that as a ShaWol, you were actually drawn to the four of us FIRST before him ... is that true? sherina: urk! (blushes) u-uh ... key: (giggles) that's so cute! ... tell me then ... why DID you end up liking him out of all of us? im curious ... sherina: (looks at each of the SHINee oppas' anticipating faces) uhm ......................... (pause) ...................................... w-well ... among us ShaWols, or any idol group fanclub for that matter, there's something we call a "bias" which basically means the member of the group that you like most out of all of them ... at first, i really disliked the idea of it because i really loved ALL of you (smiles to herself) i kept thinking to myself that i could never choose just one ... onew: (giggles) aigoooo ... sherina: then, without me noticing, my eyes were suddenly always drawn to taemin ... when watching your performances on TV, i would always look for him first ... i-i figured it was maybe because of our close ages that im so intrigued by him but as time went by, i realized i was wrong ... jonghyun: so then, as you got to know us, our group, better ... you found yourself looking toward taemin more than the rest of us? sherina: (nods shyly) minho: (smiles) did you see that show where taemin was asked about his ideal type, sherina? sherina: w-well ... there were a lot of instances where he was asked that but only one got stuck in my mind ... that taemin wanted someone who was like a sunflower ... (suddely remembers that she was supposed to already be taemin's girlfriend then gasps) !!! ...... u-uh ... a-anyway! his ideal type do
