Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 44: The Sun's Sunflower   *that night, sherina slept with taemin still on her mind ... they havent had any contact for a while so she didn't know where they were or what they were doing ...   sherina: when will they come home? (sighs deeply, closes her eyes and soon drifts off to sleep)   *SHINee's van passed by sunaebo just a little while later ...    taemin: (looks toward the building) minho: dont worry ... we're free tomorrow ... you can go meet her then, ok? taemin: oooo ... (sits back down)   *now that they were home, taemin's longing for sherina subsided a bit and was replaced by relief ... relief that they can see each other again ... but still, it was evident in the guy that he was still nervous about how sherina would respond to his feelings ... the next morning, sherina woke up from a bad dream ...   sherina: (breathing heavily - terrified expression)   DREAM taemin: (angry) how could you, sherina! ...  i never would've expected you to be that kind of girl!!! ... i cant believe ... i cant believe i trusted you ... sherina: t-taemin i--- taemin: i dont want to hear it! (turns around) just go! ... after what you've done, i don't think i'd want to see you ever again ... sherina: (tears start to fall) taemin ... taemin: (shouts angrily) GO! END OF DREAM   sherina: (teary eyes) it was just a dream ... a dream ... (cries) b-but why do i feel so scared? (sobs - hugs her knees)   *in SHINee's dorm, the members have just woken up and were having breakfast together ...   taemin: (eating really quickly) key: ya, ya, YA! ... you're going to choke! slow down! taemin: (not listening - almost finished with his food)   TAEMIN'S INNER MONOLOGUE taemin: i dont really know why but i really want to see her ... i want to see her RIGHT NOW ... no matter what, i HAVE to see sherina as soon as possible ...  END OF INNER MONOLOGUE   *as fast as he could, taemin finished whatever he needed to do at home and quickly came knocking on sunaebo's front door ...   owner: (opens the door) omo! ... (surprised) it's you!  taemin: (panting) grandma ... (pant) is sherina (pant) (pant) here? owner: (smirks) you must've missed her so much for you to come running like this (giggles) aigooo ... but what do we do? ... the girl left a while ago ... i-i don't really know where she went ...  taemin: she left? owner: she had that very strange and sad aura this morning too, i wonder what happened ... did you two fight again? ... taemin: a-ah ... no ... owner: uh ... you can try looking for her in Little Sweet Somethings, the cafe she works at ... taemin: (bows) thank you, grandma ... (walks away)   *meanwhile, in Little Sweet Somethings ... sherina walked inside, in a daze ...   mr. kim: oooo! sherina! ... why are you here?  sherina: (flinches - snaps out of her daze) a-ah! ... ahjusshi? mr. kim: its your day off today, is something wrong? sherina: oh ... is it? (laughs lamely) s-sorry ... my mind's a mess and i think i lost track of the days ... hehe ... he ... he (smile fades away) mr. kim: aigooo ... come, have some warm chocolate ... it's cold outside ...   *and so, sherina was seated in the cornermost seat in the back, with a cup of hot chocolate in her hands ... she was still in deep thought ...   SHERINA'S INNER MONOLOGUE sherina: (blank expression) should i let taemin know about "that"? ... i dont want to but ... b-but ... what if he gets mad at me if i tell him too late? ... i dont want that either! ... (sighs in helplessness) come on, sherina! just decide! ... (looks out the window) why does "that" have to come up anyway? it'd be good if "that" had never happened at all ... if i could just forget about "that" ... (hands tremble - signs of hesitation) ... w-why can't i? END OF INNER MONOLOGUE   *about 3 hours later, taemin burst in to the cafe ...   taemin: (talks to himself) i KNEW i should've worn a better disguise! this scarf isn't enough! aish! ... (looks around) because of that, i couldn't get here as fast as i could because of the fans ... hmmmm? w-where is she? mr. kim: oooo! is that--- could it be? (surprised)  taemin: (bows and signals the owner to keep it a secret) please, sir? (slight smile) mr. kim: o-oh ... (nods) taemin: (approaches him) uhm ... excuse me but ... is sherina here, sir? ... i was told that she'd be here ... mr. kim
