I'm happy to announce, that today, instead of just a double update...

I'll be doing a TRIPLE UPDATE for all of you guys. =] <3

I'm going to be replying very soon to your comments. Please, a little more patience. <3

So, anyway, here's chapter 21 with the soundtrack of Kesha's "We R Who We R"!

Enjoy! =]

I huffed a deep breath. What a punishment.

But... it's cool with me.

Back in Tokyo Cultural Arts, we dance 10-14 songs non-stop and we still weren't panting for breath.

This would be PRETty easy.

Compare it to the regular training I had before, this is nothing.

I looked at the still smirking TaeMin-ah and smirked as well, to everybody's surprise.

"Bring it on... so-called dance prince."

I looked at the shocked performance director and rotated my head, before running my hand down my knitted top.

"PD-nim, play the Boom Track of Replay first, please. Then, you can play either Hello or Lucifer. Then, cue in Ring Ding Dong. You can choose from Hello and Lucifer again after this. Then, I suggest you play Let It Go. Then finally, play my debut song entitled Ain't No Other Man. I wanna review some steps." I said, my smirk turning to a smile as I stepped backwards, estimating how much space I'm gonna need. The sound of my heels on the stage was the only thing we heard as I took a deep breath.

As I stepped backwards, everyone came to see me.

And when I say everyone, it's everyone. Even the back-up dancers made way for me.

-=- Noona neomu yeppeo... -=-

As I heard the intro play, I just closed my eyes.

Bring it on... SHINee.

= = =

-=- Ring Ding Dong, Ring Ding Dong, Riggy Ding Diggy Ding Ding Ding -=-

"Whoah. It's her third song without stop, but she's still smiling?" I heard a back-up dancer say as I finished Ring Ding Dong, still not heaving.

I walked towards the position of Lucifer, which I designed to be beside TaeMin-ah as I saw the 5 boys of SHINee go to where I was. They played Hello first before Ring Ding Dong, so Lucifer is the one after.

-=- Soomeul gotdo chatji mothae naneun... -=-

I haven't had the time to fix my sweater when the intro of Lucifer began to play.

Oh well, it's time to intimidate the boys even more. Well, I haven't been training during my childhood for nothing.

And of course, I'll prove Key Sunbae that what he taught me back in Japan stuck with me.

Whatever TaeMin-ah's direction is during the "Loverholic Robotronic" part, I'll do the opposite so that we're facing each other. Then, I'll just smirk.

Oh well, my plan is set. Every direction would be the same as them, except for the parts wherein I'll do my plan.

I still am not panting? Wow, I thought my body has already adjusted back to normal since I've already graduated from Tokyo Cultural High.

Well, it looks like I'm still bionic, dance-wise...

= = =

-=- Ain't no other man but you. -=-

Singing the last part of my debut song, I did my final pose. I just finished dancing 6 songs non-stop, but I still am not panting?

Expected, but fulfilling. I missed this kind of stress since I graduated from Tokyo Cultural High.

Wait. That sounded so masochistic. Anyway...

Trying my best not to breathe a sigh of relief, I looked at the five SHINee members with their mouths agape.

"There's still about five minutes before your break comes to a close. I suggest all of you guys drink something for a bit." I said smugly as I went to JongHyun Sunbae.

I smirked as we switched postions. Now, he's the one swallowing loudly. I leaned towards him and whispered.

"And don't think I didn't notice you using my iPod to get my mini-album's mp3 files yesterday. You don't fool me."

I smiled innocently to them as I then looked at the production manager, who gave me a thumbs up.

"I'll gladly support your debut Selene-sshi. The first 4 mini-albums will be bought by me."

I looked at the back-up dancers who rushed to my side, taking pictures and asking for autographs.

"Hey, I'm still not debuting... What's the purpose of autographs and pictures if I still am not famous?" I asked them, but they just shook their heads before continuing what they were doing.

"Well, with that kind of talent, we're pretty sure you'll be famous in no time. So better get the momentos while we still have the chance." One dancer told me, and I just laughed.

"Seriously though..." I began but I was cut off.

"And we're serious too. Don't forget us when you become as famous as SHINee, okay?" They told me with expectant faces, and with a smile and nod, I replied.

"Of course. You guys were the first ones outside my company who saw me perform my debut song."

12:00 Noon

From: Onew Sunbae     [:

Dongsaeng! It's our concert in an hour!
Go to the stadium now, we wanna see you before we go on stage!
I don't wanna miss my little sister too much.
Don't make me and the others wait too long!
See you later! :]

From: MinHo Sunbae     :]

Selene-ah! We're waiting for you, okay?
We wanna see you before we start our concert!
Oh yeah, we'll have a party after the concert.
Come with us, okay?

From: TaeMin-ah        [=

Aha! Noona! Don't think I wouldn't get your number now...
Come to Yoyogi National Stadium already!
I wanna hug Noona before I dance in front of all my fans.
I'm your bias, right? ;]
Just come here already! Taem-ah misses his noona already...
If you don't come, I'll transform into Lucifer, you'll be sorry. x]
But come already, Noona. =] I wanna see you.

From: Key Sunbae       [x

Song ShiRin! Don't you dare ditch us again!
Joking. I'm not gonna act all Umma again. x]
But, some to the stadium already, please?
I'm waiting for my bestfriend number 2 to go here.
BTW, there's gonna be an after party when the event is through.
If you don't come, I'll hunt you down. x]
Joking again. x] Just watch all of us, okay?

From: JongHyun Sunbae     ;]

ShiRin-ah... where are you?
I'm really worried that you'll ditch us again.
You know, I still haven't forgiven you for leaving us yesterday...
But promise me that you'll watch us. Go to the stadium now, okay?
I'll sing for you there. Don't forget to look at me when I'm performing. ;]
Go straight to the backstage when you get to the stadium.
We're all waiting for SHINee's princess! x] <3

I chuckled as I read each message from the SHINee members, now walking down the pavement in front of the Yoyogi National Stadium.

I'm such a bad girl. I haven't been texting them all day, but look at where I am... coming to watch both concerts.

Oh well, I've been a playful girl these past few days. It must be the Christmas cheer that's doing this to me.

I looked at the long like being formed in front of the stadium. Gosh. These fans must have been waiting for HOURS just to get in line.

Oh well, I don't like to brag, but trainees have special access to their Sunbae's concerts. And S.E. bought a 'special ticket' just for me for my cover.

Avex, S.E. and S.M.E had unannouced contests for V.I.P tickets. These tickets grant them access to backstage scenes with SHINee.

But for the very special tickets, these are given to the top trainees of S.E. and S.M.E.

Thus, granting me very special access.

Oh well, when we get to the after-party, no cameras would be flashing on them, or us.

I finally got inside the dressing room of SHINee after going through the back door, smiling as the whole group tore away from their coordi-noonas just to have me in a group hug.

"Dongsaeng! You're here!" Onew Sunbae began.

"I thought you're gonna come a bit later!" MinHo Sunbae said and I just smiled.

"I guess you've read all our texts, then?" Key Sunbae asked me, and I nodded.

"Yay! Noona's here!" TaeMin-ah exclaimed as he made a move to hug me. But he was stopped by a word from JongHyun Sunbae.

"But guys. Be careful. Cameras are watching our every move right now. ShiRin-ah is gonna be put on the spot if she gets caught." He suddenly said, which made all of us look at him with amazed expressions on our faces.

"You taught me how to be careful, ShiRin-ah. I'm not gonna brush that off..." He began, looking straight at me, and suddenly winking.

"I'll just be texting you backstage about stuff, so don't break connections with me. And I'll be asking you a favor. Can you change our names in your phone just for today? If anything, tell the people who'll be asking you that your boyfriend or cousin works backstage." He told me, and as I nodded, I began to work, setting new names on my phone.

"Well, try to change clothes so that you'll be blending in the crowd. People will understand if you're already inside because your boyfriend or relative works backstage. But Key-ah, and Noonas..." JongHyun Sunbae began as he looked at Key Sunbae and the coordinator Unnies..

"Can all of you work your magic on her, just for tonight? Try to deviate the eyes of people from her real look. She has to save her real image until she debuts." He said, and as I looked at the two, I can't help but smile.

"It's the first time I've seen Jjong Hyung-ah like this. You really are special, Noona." TaeMin-ah told me as Key Sunbae began to tow me away to a vanity table wherein he and the make-up artists began to fix my face. I kept my eyes on the mirror, noticing that my attire and my real look actually attracts attention.

"I already have a back-up set of clothes in my bag. I'l be using that." I said before motioning to MinHo Sunbae to get my other set of clothes inside my bag. When he held it out for others to see after a few minutes of finding it, the coordinator unnies smiled to themselves and nodded, motioning me to stand up.

"Well, I guess that's good enough. We'll be taking you into our care, ShiRin-ah. S.E and S.M.E had already told us about SHINee's wish this Christmas. We'll cover up for you. So don't be worried. I'm NaYeon. If you want, you can use me as your excuse." One coordinator Unnie told me, and I can't help but bow to her in respect.

"It's fine. We'll be helping you backstage soon enough after you debut. You can call us Unnies. I'm JiRen, by the way." Another coordinator Unnie said and I nodded.

"Oh well, we have to be getting set now. Wish us luck, Selene-ah." Key Sunbae said, as once again, they trapped me into their hug.

"Good luck, Sunbaes. Gambatte..." I said in Japanese, and one by one, the SHINee members began kissing my cheek, to my shock, as they went onstage.

"Watch us very well, okay?"

MinHo Sunbae.

"Dongsaeng! Take care of yourself."

Onew Sunbae.

"BFF! You're still pretty even after we put make-up on you."

Key Sunbae.

"Noona. You owe me a big hug!"

TaeMin-ah.

"ShiRin-ah. I'll be singing for you. Listen well, okay?"

JongHyun Sunbae.

And let me tell you.

As I touched my cheek, I felt my heart ramming into my chest.

I looked at all the Coordinator Unnies, and they all smiled at me and said one thing.

"It looks like JongHyun-ah has something for you. He never says things like that to any other girl."
