Key's P.O.V:
Ah~! Today's practice is draining me... I need to get some refreshment or else I'm really gonna die! "Hey! Let's call for a break! I'm dying from thirst!", I said. Everyone looked at me and smiled. "You're right!!", Minho said. "Let's go get something to drink. Taemin-ah, you look really tired. Rest up a bit. I'll go and get the drinks.", I said. "No hyung. Let's all go together. We've been practicing for long, and this hall seems suffocating. While we're having a break, let's go out and get some fresh air.", Taemin said. He stood up, and then sat again writhing in pain. "What happened?", Jjong hyung asked concerned. "Nothing. It's the cramps on the calf again.", Taem whimpered. "I'll go first and you guys can come down later. Taem, sit for a while.", I looked at Taem and he smiled and nodded. I walked out to the cafeteria. Aigoo! This Taemin! Why does he pushes himself so hard? Taemin is SHINee's dancing-machine. He might be one of the best freestyle dancers in the world. But while practicing our choreographies, he is the members who works the hardest to perfect the steps. And most of the hard parts of the choreographies are given to him, because he's probably the only one who can pull it off so perfectly, that you can't help but think that the steps are hard to master, even though they're so easy. I wish he'd stop pushing himself so hard.
I was about to get a few drinks when I noticed the brown haired girl with her friend. Aerri and Katy, was it? I called out, "Hey! Aerri! Katy!". They turned to look at me and smiled. "Hey! You guys started with your practices?", I asked. The two of them came up to me and began talking. By now, the rest of the members came down too. Taemin was really tired, but as soon as he saw Aerri, his face lit up. Aish! I can't even laugh! This boy is too naive. It's so funny to see him react this way. I looked at the rest of the members. They looked back at me and smirked. The conversation from last night... About the hair... We can do it now. I scanned the members faces. It seems they had the same idea. "Let's go back to the practice hall. We can talk over there. Aerri, Katy, come along.", Jjong said. The two of them nodded and followed us.
Aerri was walking beside me. I glanced at her and found her staring at someone. I traced the path of her vision. It was Taemin. She blushed a little. Waah~! C-cute! Her blushing face is so cute. Maybe... Just maybe... towards Taemin she... I looked at her face again, her expression began to change. She knitted her eyebrows. I looked at Taemin. His calf was hurting again, but he didn't show it on his face. He clenched his fist into a ball, and continued walking. I nudged Minho who was walking in front of me and pointed at Taem. He understood. He walked ahead and opened the door. We all went in. Aerri spoke up, "Are there cramps on your calf, T-Taemin-ssi?", She looked concerned. Everybody looked at her in surprise. "H-How did you know?", Taemin blurted. "Ah!", she paused for a while and blushed. Cute! My heart's thumping like crazy!! Man! She's damn cute! Hey! Wait! Why is my heart beating? Stupid Heart, don't you know when to beat and when not to?! Stop! I glanced at the others. They seemed to be dazed too. Suddenly, she started to speak again, and said "Well, you seemed to have trouble walking. But you seemed to brush it off. And your calf looked kinda weird. It looked a bit swollen... so I thought, maybe you had cramps or something...". "Is that so?", Taemin blushed, embarrassed. Somehow, the atmosphere was awkward. I looked around and saw Katy. She raised her brow, with a critical expression, and teased, "Aerri, Taemin-sunbae, why are you two acting like newly weds after their first night together? It's so greasy! So cheesy! It's giving me goosebumps! My hands and legs are contracting!". Taemin and Aerri seemed extremely embarrassed, and that earned a laughter from all of us.
Jonghyun's P.O.V:
We all sat down and began to talk. I looked at Key. He looked at me and smirked. It's my cue to start with our mission: Find out Aerri's hair length. I was about to begin, but Aerri began speaking. "Taemin-ssi, shall I m
