Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 70: Blinded   *yoon ju, lea and moon were in their company's dance practice room, leaning on the opposite wall, staring blankly at their reflections ... after finding out the commotion that happened in MB media and having completed their promotional activities successfully, they were given a break to cool off ... soo yi had gone out. the 4told maknae hasn't been the same since that confrontation with sherina and SHINee. it was terrible and the 4told unnis felt that it was THEIR fault that soo yi was so hurt and lost ...   lea: unni, soo yi will be alright ... r-right? yoon ju: she's a strong and smart girl ... she'll be alright ... moon: but is it really ok to leave her alone like this? yoon ju: she'll be fine ... i believe in her (sighs deeply) ... she'll stand back up again, i just know it ... after all, falling down is part of growing ... when she gets through this, we're gonna be faced with a more mature maknae ... lea: (mumbles) more mature than we'll ever be ...  moon: yeah ... instead of keeping soo yi at bay, we pushed her off a point of no return ... what kind of unnis are we? yoon ju: please, girls ... dont include yourself in the list of people to blame ... that spot is mine (sad smile) ... this is all my fault ... onew sunbae was right, i'm disappointing ... a failure as an unni and a leader ...  lean and moon: (look at yoon ju) unni ... yoon ju: ah! (stands up and starts shaking her hands - trying to be cheerful) anyway! I'LL think of a way to fix things soon ... what has happened, happened. there's really nothing more i can do about it. for now, let's just leave things to cool ... and since we're already in here, how 'bout a round of practice, girls? (slight smile) lea and moon: (nod and stand up to join their leader - proud of her)           *jonghyun was in his home, lazing around the couch with roo ... he was talking on the phone with minho, key and onew in a conference call ...   jonghyun: first break in a while and i'm not feeling relaxed like ... AT ALL ... key: (sighs) i know, right ... with everything that's happening, i couldn't even sleep last night just thinking about it! onew: come on, guys ... try to rest up and get your energies back ... i find it hard too but dont take this vacation for granted, ok? minho: i'm worried about taemin. i hope he's okay. key: he hasn't called any of you guys either? minho: no ... jonghyun: no ... onew: (sighs) ... no.   *although they couldnt see each other's faces, the SHINee hyungs knew that they were ALL feeling depressed and worried about taemin and sherina ...    jonghyun: uhhh .. guys, i have something to say ... don't get mad at me for thinking this ... minho: what is it, hyung? key and onew: (doesnt speak - waiting for jonghyun's statement) jonghyun: (sighs deeply) ... h-have you guys ever thought that ... (hesistates) ... t-that ... well, has it ever crossed your minds that ... (sighs again) ... have you ever thought that the best way to solve all this is for taemin and sherina to ... (gulps) b-break up?   *jonghyun braced himself for yells of disagreements and scoldings and held his phone a little distance away from his ear ... but several seconds passed and there was no hostile reaction at all ...   jonghyun: (puts his phone back to his ear) guys? minho: (sighs sadly) to be honest, i have ... key: i have too ... and have been completely dreading it since ... (sad voice) onew: well, i guess we're getting caught up in all the drama as well ... not only are we being pressured by the manager hyungs and the company people but also our fans ... its ... (sigh) really not a good feeling, i must admit ... and yeah, i thought about that too, jjong ... jonghyun: i feel so cruel for even thinking of such a thing ... but ... it really seems like the only logical way out right now ... minho: if they break up, will everything go back normal?   *there was a silence again as they all knew the answer to that question: a full-blown NO ... sure, things like their fanbase, albums sales and performance audiences would gradually stabilize but they knew that their maknae would never be the same. NEVER ...   minho: i dont want them to break up ... i really dont. they're perfect together, ANYONE can see that ... key: taemin is the happiest when he's with her ... how could i be so evil as to think that breaking up with her is the best way? onew: calm down, kibum ... its ok, we're only human ... jonghyun: im sorry for bringing this up, guys ... i just felt that i ha
