Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 46: Exceptions   *in the Lee Family's living room, sherina and taemin's family had just finished filming the video greeting and sherina was on her way out ...   sherina: (bows) i had a really good time, eommonie, abeonim, oppa ... i will give taemin all your well wishes, i promise (smiles) ... taemin's mom: aigooo ... (giggles) just call us 'umma' and 'appa', sherina ... you're practically family now! sherina: a-ah (bows again and blushes) taesun: are you sure you dont need me to take you back to the filming site? sherina: oh ... n-no ... its fine, oppa (smiles nervously) i-i can find my way ... taemin's mom: tsk, tsk, tsk ... just where did that girl run off to? she's your unni, right? she should have known better than to just leave you here all alone ... aigoooo sherina: i-its alright, u-umma ... uhm .... uh ... s-soo jin unni was probably needed back at the site earlier, thats why she left ... uh ... a-anyway, i should be making my way back as well... taemin's dad: ok (smiles) take care of yourself ... and our son too (giggles and pats sherina's shoulder)   *and so, after a few more farewells, sherina stepped out of the Lee's house and started to walk back the way they came earlier when she was with manager choi jin and soo jin ...   sherina: good thing i have a good memory (smiles to herself)   *but instead of heading straight back, sherina found herself mesmerized by the neighbourhood ... it was peaceful and quaint ... the thought that taemin grew up in such a place made her smile ... she wanted to see more, to know more about the place where her beloved sun was raised ...   sherina: as a kid, could he have had fights around here? (giggles to herself - letting her feet take her wherever) ... oh! that tree! could taemin have climbed that? (smiles) i hope he didn't fall (brings out her  phone and takes pictures)   *she took pictures of almost everything that caught her attention ... from house walls to gates, trees, lamp posts to sidewalks ... seeing everything that taemin saw everyday when he was little made her really happy ...   sherina: taemin ... (looks up at the darkening sky) this place is what made you, you ... its very special (smiles to herself) ... YOU are very special ... (looks at her phone) wow (giggles) its almost out of batteries ... (brings out the video camera from her bag and turns it on) ooo! there's still enough batteries in this for ONE more video (slightly sad smile then presses the 'record' button)   *meanwhile, in the filming area ... taemin's parts were finished earlier than his hyungs and he was allowed to go visit his home after all! he was very excited about it ...   taemin: (runs to manager choi jin) hyung! where's sherina? (beams at him) i wanna take her to meet my family ... manager choi jin: (flinches) a-ah! ... s-sherina? ... uhhhh ... s-soo jin said she isnt back yet ... taemin: huh? not back yet? ... from where? ... and why is soo jin noona even IN this conversation? manager choi jin: (sighs in defeat)   *manager choi jin didn't have a choice but to tell taemin their "video greeting plan" and also told him about soo jin leaving sherina in their home ...    taemin: and she's not back yet?! (a little worried) manager choi jin: u-uh ... (scratches his head) s-soo jin had come back for a while now and t-there's still no sign of sherina ... taemin: WHAT!? ... (immediately runs outside) manager choi jin: YA! where are you going!? taemin: im going to find her! ... (disappears out the exit)   *meanwhile, sherina was already panicking somewhere in the neighbourhood ... she was too caught up in exploring that she wandered quite far from their original path ... she was now, officially lost ...   sherina: (looking around - a little worried) geeez ... what happened to that road? where did it go? ... stupid! its not the road that went away, idiot! (hits herself) ...   *it was getting darker and darker every minute ... taemin and sherina didn't have luck on their side since they had been running around the neighbourhood without ever crossing paths ...   sherina: (getting nervous) w-what should i do? ... its getting dark ... ah! my phone! (rummages her bag and produces her phone)   *but when she looked at the screen, her phone had already been drained of its battery ...   sherina: AISH! what luck!   *meanwhile, somewhere else down the road, taemin had been trying to call sherina's phone for a while now but hasn't gotten a response, not even once ...   taemin: AISH!!! ... just what the heck is that girl doing!? (already panicking - runs around some more)   *taemin tried calling jongh
