Chapter 02

5 Pieces' Magnae (5)

5 Pieces arrives at Incheon airport. The moment they step out from the van they are met by cameras for a SM Town in New York special program. Hannah jumps out of the van, stumbling on the first step when she notices the camera and she gives an awkward laugh when bowing in a greeting.

She walks behind Maria who talks to the camera. Emelia walks up next to Hannah. They look like celebrities when they are at the airport. Hannah has sunglasses like she always has when they are going somewhere, and she holds on to Emelia’s bag to help Emelia look for something in it.

“Maria, take up your pass,” Emelia tells the one in front of them.

“I got it already,” Maria answers, still busy talking to the cameras. “Check Lina, she always looses hers.”

“It happened ONCE!” Carolina calls behind them, making them laugh.

“It happened when we went to Arlanda once too,” Hannah says over her shoulder to Carolina. Arlanda is the airport in Sweden the girls always takes when going international – always then.

They head inside the airport, being met by more cameras. They stop after coming inside to take some pictures for SM Town facebook and others. SM Town will gather to go to New York together. Hannah sits down next to Maria on a chair, waiting to get on the plane.

“Hello, we are 5 Pieces,” Hannah says in English, practising for the greetings. Maria is sending texts next to her, mumbling something in English that Hannah doesn’t catch. Hannah smiles when seeing Julia come up to them from the front with Coca Cola.

“Since we are going to New York, I will drink it,” Hannah says happily when receiving the Coca Cola that Julia bought for her.

With the bottle towards her lips, Hannah looks behind Julia when hearing someone’s voice. Julia and Maria looks too, seeing SNSD’s Yuri and Hyoyeon waving happily walking over to them. The three girls smiles happily when the two SNSD members comes over to them. They had met the day before at the practice room, but today they are excitedly greeting each other because they will head to USA. Hannah raises her hand when Yuri jogs up to them and they do high five.

“Excited?” Sooyoung asks them in a funny way and almost sits down on Maria’s lap when she stops herself, thinking that there are fans around them. It is true. Some fans are actually standing with their cell phones not far from them. SNSD is used to it, while Hannah is still nervous to have people take pictures and film her when she doesn’t have any special make-up on.

Maria starts to talk right away while Hannah sees more SNSD members arrive. She smiles and waves at them.

It’s loud on the plane.

Hannah sits down next to Jonghyun when they have taken off. He knew that she spent some time with Honggi after the karaoke, she had told him just those parts before the headlines about her and Honggi dating came out. She just hadn’t mentioned anything about the ride back home.

He is cool about it. He hasn’t looked at the pictures that were taken of Hannah and Honggi, and that is kind of good because even Hannah who denies everything has to admit that she looks a little too happy on those pictures.

Eunhyuk smiles widely when passing them sitting there next to each other.

Jonghyun is leaning a little over his seat when talking to Hannah, and he can’t stop holding her hand, caressing the back of her hand, or have some kind of body contact. Hannah guesses that is what Eunhyuk was smiling like an idiot about.

They still manage to be secret about it. Sure Hannah and Jonghyun are sitting and holding hand, they don’t do it for long. Because there are staff and people on the plane who doesn’t know about them, they ends up just sitting next to each other after being scolded by Key. Hannah still doesn’t sit there for long, as Carolina comes over to them and wants to play a game with Hannah while waiting for the food to come.

During the long, the very long flight, Hannah does a lot of things. She takes pictures, she reads, she writes, she talks to everyone about everything, she sleeps and eats, sharing lovely glances with Jonghyun in secret from everyone else, listens to music and all other things that you can’t keep pointing out.

And after that long, very long flight, they arrive to their destination.

Twitter, 5P_HANNAH: Arrived in New York! Yoona wanted me to upload this picture, but don’t comment on how big I look next to her! Remember that she is a mannequin ^^,

Hannah shows the tweet to Yoona the moment she has uploaded it. It is a picture taken of Yoona and Hannah together before they left Korea, and even if Hannah is worried about the comments on that she is bigger, the comments she receives are positive.

She gets comments such as ‘I love your goddess-body, and even next to tiny SNSD you look so beautiful’, ‘have fun in Big Apple!’, ‘My favourite members of my two favourite groups, you look so cute together ^^,’ and there is also one saying ‘Baby has a whole photo map on the laptop with the name “Yoona and Me”.’

“MARIA!” Hannah whines when seeing the last comment.

Maria is sitting some seats away, smirking evilly, with her cell phone in her hand. Maria has made up another lie and the next comments after Maria’s are how hilarious they are and one even writes ‘omg, I can totally imagine that!’. Hannah has no comment.

After arriving to the hotel, there are fans waiting for them there too. The girls are tired, so they don’t greet as cheerful as they would want to. When waiting by the elevator to get their room keys, Julia is tiredly holding on to Hannah’s arm, closing her eyes now and then.

Carolina is talking for herself, or mumbling, since no one hears what she is saying. Maybe she is talking in an alien language, but all Hannah catches her saying is ‘bed, bed, bed, sleep, sleep, bed’. Even now there are fans standing some meters away, guards holding them on a distance, but that doesn’t stop the fans from taking pictures or filming. That doesn’t really matter; they aren’t making too much noise or nuisance.

Manager Park – a new manager who came along just because his English is good – comes up to the girls with the keys. So they get inside the elevator and heads up to the right floor. They get out on the floor, talking about who will share room with whom.

SHINee, who arrived before them, is suddenly seen in front of them. At least Key is standing there, waving, and he is still wearing his sunglasses.

“Hannah, this is your room,” Key says when they come up to him in search for their room numbers.

“What?” Hannah is clueless. Key just smiles before taking her shoulder and pushes her to the door he is standing by. The hotel-room door is open, and Hannah sees Jonghyun come up to them. He smiles when seeing her, but all Hannah can do is look clueless.

“Bye,” Key smiles and waves with his fingers before closing the door after him. He leaves Hannah standing with her question-mark face-expression in the hotel-room’s hall, with Jonghyun in front of her. He has taken off his jacket and his bag is in the room too.

“I asked if they could help me get some quality time with you… and this was their solution,” Jonghyun answers when seeing her face. He grimaces a little. “You don’t like it?”

“What… I don’t understand,” Hannah says in a way that makes him understand that she is still as clueless as she was when Key told her it is her room.

“If you want – only if you want – this room can be yours and mine for the next two nights. Emelia said only two nights, and then you will go to her and Carolina’s room. But that is only if you want, I won’t force you to share room with me,” Jonghyun explains. He is worried she will take it the wrong way.

“Okay…” Hannah says slowly.

He keeps looking at her, wondering if she will say something or at least show a reaction. He just told her that they will get to spend two nights, alone, in a hotel room – shouldn’t there at least be a reaction?

“So … we will share room?” Hannah says after some silence.

Jonghyun nods, still waiting for her reaction. Hannah nods too, looking out in nowhere. She glances at him, seeing how she looks at her.

“What?” she asks.

“I’m waiting,” he tells her. “For your reaction. Will you get angry, upset, happy, excited…? You don’t like surprises, and this was definitely not planned in your mind…”

Hannah gets quiet, thinking about it before she turns her head on the side. “I’m not angry.”

Jonghyun gives a smile. “Good. Then are you … excited?”

His smile widens when Hannah can’t hide her own smile. He takes her hand and shows her inside the room. It is a simple room with a big bed and a bathroom. And a beautiful view over the city.

“You can decide everything,” Jonghyun tells her happily, holding both her hands entwined in his. “If you want me to sleep on the floor – I’ll sleep on the floor. For two nights-”

Hannah laughs since he is talking very fast. Before he can continue, she places her lips on his. He gives a laugh in how she made him shut up and he looses his fingers from hers to put his arms around her, kissing her again. They both can’t stop smiling; giving these cute kisses to each other and between the kisses they look at each other behind their half-moon smiling eyes.

Though it is Jonghyun who is her roommate at the moment, Hannah still heads to Carolina and Emelia’s room later. On her way to that room she had caught Sungmin running from one room to another, and Emelia tells her that everyone is running around.

Hannah doesn’t run around. She lies down next to Carolina on the bed, looking through the latest on Puzzle official website – Carolina’s favourite site. To find out what their own fan club is up to is fun, but Carolina loves to read the fan fiction and also to know what the latest “couple” trend is. Now when Hannah is there, Carolina doesn’t look at the Hannah + Honggi thread, she will look at it later.

They finds a new thread, with the headline ‘5 Pieces In New York’. On the first page it is fan cams and photos taken from Incheon Airport, when they landed and when they came to the hotel.

“They are fast,” Hannah can’t help but to mention.

“It’s their passion for us,” Carolina says happily and moves her head back and forth. She is always happy when visiting this site.

They look through the comments, but Hannah can’t help but to grimace a lot. A fan-cam from when they were waiting to board the plane, when SNSD had arrived, has been given a very weird comment. In the video, Hannah smiles up at Yuri when greeting her, and fans say that Hannah is blinded by Yuri’s iness? There is a photo from just a few minutes before that when Hannah and Maria had been sitting by those chairs on their own, and there are at least seven comments about ‘MarAh couple (Maria + Hannah)’.

Carolina loves it.

She giggles and talks happily about all these couple things between their own group members and also with other idols, while Hannah just grimaces.

“Ah, I have to show you this one – it is beautiful,” Carolina suddenly remembers. She goes in to the Hannah + Honggi couple thread, not seeing the weird look on Hannah’s face when she goes on page 96 where she finds what she looks for. Carolina had seen it several of times already, and she explains to Hannah that it was just too beautiful to not look at.

It’s a video, a fan made video of Honggi and Hannah. The music is FT Island’s [Sunshine Girl]. The video starts by introducing Hannah and Honggi through a video of them after each other, and then it says ‘Hannah is Honggi’s Sunshine Girl’. It is then a lot of photos and clips from the stage or backstage. There is a photo from last year’s New Year Festivals where Hannah and Honggi stood with their arms around each other in the back of the crowded stage, jumping to get visibly (she can remember that). There are also clips of them individually. There are clips of them performing on their own, Hannah giving a wink to the camera from [I Love You] and a smiling Honggi when singing. A clip from life of Pieces when Hannah and Honggi greets each other with a hug is there too, and Hannah has to re-think to remember it is from when they were recorded [Endless Love].

“It’s just really beautiful,” Carolina pretends to cry.

Hannah can’t admit it, just because it is Honggi.

The video ends with a clip from when they performed [Endless Love] back in August, and when the video ends the two sings when looking at each other. Carolina even claps her hands together when it ends, while Hannah sits up, not interested.

She still looks at the comments to the video. ‘I love these two! They are so bright and cute!’, ‘Honggi always looks so happy looking at his Sunshine Girl, and Hannah’s eye-smile is killing ^^,’, ‘honestly, I didn’t like this couple before I saw this video, they are shining together, right?’

Hannah can’t take it. While sitting there and grimacing, Emelia tells her she looks like a rabbit again. Hannah ignores her and gets up, saying that she will go watch what Maria and Julia are doing.
