Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 49: The Video   *One night, just after taemin's meeting at the SME head office ... taemin had just arrived in their dorm ... he noticed that his hyungs were still not home ...   taemin: hmmm? i wonder where they are ... (looks at his phone - no messages) ... what is wrong with everyone today? geeeez ...   *all day, he had been trying to call sherina but failed everytime ... he passed by LSS earlier but was told that sherina already went home ... passing by sunaebo after that, he didn't bother to ask because he saw that all the lights were off which made him think that sherina and grandma junghee might have gone out or slept early ...    taemin: (grabs a carton of milk from the fridge)  SHINee members: (enter the dorm) taemin: (about to drink from his glass) oooo! there you are! ... where have you been? .. jonghyun: just ... (pause) ... somewhere ... taemin: (drinks the milk in one go) ... key: (just looking at their maknae with a worried expression) ... taemin: man! it was a tiring day today ... onew: why? ... discussing the things you're gonna do for that music video shoot was THAT tiring? (fake chuckle) taemin: (slumps down on the couch)   *taemin didn't know why but the look that his hyungs were giving him felt sad ... and worried ... he attempted to ask them about it but scrapped the idea ...   onew: come on, guys ... we have to do a few rounds of practices tonight ... it might do us some good ... we need to take our minds off a few things for a while ...   taemin: heck yeah! (pouts) sherina didn't send me a SINGLE text today ... (whines) she didn't even answer any of my calls ... SHINee hyungs: (silenced a bit) taemin: ... you know what, hyungs ...(sad smile) i think im gonna tell her to forget about my confession ... SHINee hyungs: (flinch)!! key: w-why do you want to do that? (surprised) taemin: well ... things are going just fine with the way we are right now ... and i guess giving her the pressure of answering that confession is just making everything awkward ... minho: don't say things you dont mean, taemin ... its obvious to everyone here that you want to know her answer ... taemin: (giggles nervously) you caught me ...  onew: you'll know her answer soon ... don't worry (pats taemin's back)  jonghyun: yeah! dont get discouraged that easily ... aigooooo ...   *the SHINee hyungs were encouraging taemin but inside, they were worried like hell about the two ... taemin and sherina both doubt themselves too much to see that they are really in love with each other ...   FLASHBACK *just before the four SHINee members and sherina parted that afternoon outside LSS ...   key: sherina .. (serious face) ... we just want to make sure of something ... sherina: (looks at key) jonghyun: you love taemin, right? sherina: (taken aback by the sudden question) !! minho: you love him and you want to be with him, right? key: answer the question, sherina ...   *sherina really, REALLY wanted to say yes but still, the sad thoughts that had been clouding her mind kept on pestering her ... she couldn't say anything ... instead, she cried even more ...   sherina: (tears falling from her eyes) e-even if i say i do, i would just be expressing my selfishness! ... i love taemin too much to bear seeing him hurt and sad ... oppa, i dont know what to do (cries harder)   *the four gathered around her again and comforted her ... now, they were sure that sherina loves taemin ... truly loves him ... sherina IS taemin's sunflower ...  END OF FLASHBACK   *later that night, the SHINee members have already finished a few rounds of practices and were getting ready to call it a day ...    minho: (going up the stairs after getting a drink in the kitchen) taemin: (passes by him - running downstairs) minho: YA! ... don't run like that! you'll hurt yourself!  taemin: ah ... sorry hyung (laughs) minho: (sees a video camera in taemin's hand) what is that? aren't you gonna go and sleep now? key: what's going on here? (approaches the two) taemin: err ... i wasn't sleepy yet and i found this on my bed-side table ... i remember it being the camera that choi jin hyung and sherina used for their "mission" ... i figured i'd just watch on the TV ... key: really? can we watch with you? jonghyun and onew: (approaches them) onew: why are you all down here? taemin: (smiles) sure! you hyungs can watch it with me ...    *and so, the SHINee members gathered down in the living room while taemin set-up the camera ... taemin's hyungs were hiding the fact that they were actually worried about what he was going to see ... they remembered sherina saying that she left a message for him on that video camera ...   VIDEO *black screen*   --- taemin's mom: (looks toward the camera) is it recording now? .............. (starts talking to the camera) ah ... a-ah ... hello, sweetie! ... aigoooo, its such a shame that you didn't get to come see us ... i miss you so much! ... but still, do your best at work, okay? (smiles) i will keep sending you the foods that you love ...  taemin's dad: (moves into the video frame) dont forget to eat up, son (giggles) .... ya! you're girlfriend is really pretty, you know! ... good job, my son! (laughs) taemin's mom: aish! (playfully slaps her husband's arm) so childish! ... a-anyway, sweetie! ... yes, we've met sherina (smiles) take care of her well, ok? ... umma approves of her 100% (giggles) taemin's dad: (gives a thumbs up to the camera) appa approves too! ... you SHOULD take care of her, understand? a true man makes his woman feel loved and pampered all the time, do you hear me? ---   *black screen*   --- taemin's dad: ya, son! ... why didn't you come and introduce your girlfriend to us personally, huh?! ... aigoooo .... something as important as this! taemin's mom: yeobo! ... im sure there's a reason! don't scold our son for it ....
