ShiRin's Rehearsal - Break

"I think out of everyone that had interviewed us, Selene Noona was the best. She's really warm to us."
- Niel [Teen Top]

"I'd definitely ask for another culture share if Selene-ah is going to be the interviewer. She's technical in asking, but charming."
- TOP [Big Bang]

"Selene-ah is a wonderful girl, and it's hard not to be comfortable around her. The interview doesn't feel like one."
- TaeYon [SNSD]

"It really was a cool culture share with Selene Unnie. Can we have another one soon?"
- Sulli F[x]

"Gosh. If I have another one of these culture shares with Selene-ah, I think I'd have a crush on her."
- YoSeob [B2ST]

I smiled as I watched the video of the "What do you think?" portion of 'My Culture Share'. It's a special segment of MusiChart that practically is a culture share between vocal groups in Korea, and a solo singer who is me in this case. Parts of the interview serve as intermissions and introductions to the songs that would be played next, and after the whole interview, before the final number, the groups would give a few lines about what they think of the interviewer, thus the "What do you think?" portion.

I paused the youtube video of a compilation of "What do you think?" portions, not being able to contain the laughs. I was just being myself during the interview, and yet the Sunbaes praise me, just because I'm being natural?

I resumed watching the video after my laughs subsided, intently listening on the next person who spoke.

"She transcends styles. Even if we are more on the pop-rock side of music, she understands our answers, and her questions fit our style of music. I repsect her a lot."
- MinHyuk [CNBlue]

I was seriously listening to the comments of the next Sunbaes when I suddenly received a text message. At first, I was half-heartedly getting my phone, but when I read the message, I didn't think twice about staying in my rehearsal room.

I just took my wallet and rushed to SHINee's dorm.

From: TaeMin-ah :3

Noona! Come here quickly!
Key Hyung and Jjong Hyung are fighting!
Even the other hyungs couldn't stop them!
Help!

SHINee's Dorm
6:15 P.M.

"Noona, ppali ppali! Jebal... It's getting worse..." TaeMin-ah rushed to meet me at the door of their dorm, and as I looked at his face, he was close to tears.

TaeMin-ah, as far as I know, doesn't cry much. Even in their concert, he wasn't crying. So, to see him almost shed tears, it means...

... it's serious.

I nodded before rushing inside their dorm. I saw two men struggling to get out of the other two's grasp and lunge at each other's throat. Onew Oppa was holding Key-ah, while MinHo-yah was holding JongHyun Oppa.

"Yah! You think I didn't regret leaving Seoul to go to DaeGu, JongHyun-ah?! I wished that I didn't do such thing!" Key-ah said once more before trying to break out of Onew Oppa's hold. But despite Onew Oppa's calm stature on stage, behind it, he's stronger physically than what people think.

"YAH YOURSELF! What makes you think that you can just talk to me informally, Kim KiBum?! I'm older than you!" Boomed JongHyun Oppa's voice, and his struggle to free himself from MinHo-yah to beat the heck out of Key-ah came not long after.

"Hyungs! Jebal!" TaeMin-ah shouted as he tried again to stop the two older men from fighting. But they didn't listen to him.

They didn't pay him any attention, but when I shouted, all eyes turned to me and all motions were halted.

"HAJIMA!"

"ShiRin-ah..." Key-ah murmured as I made way to him. My eyes were on fire right now.

"Kim KiBum! Do you wanna be slapped for the third time?! What the heck are you thinking, fighting with your hyung?!" I shouted, before glaring at JongHyun Oppa, who was shocked at the transformation I went through after seeing them fight.

"And you, Kim JongHyun! What gave you the right to just fight your dongsaeng like that?!" I screamed, and from the corner of my eyes, I saw that even Onew Oppa and MinHo-yah were shocked.

One thing that I don't want people to know is when I get pissed off, I REALLY get pissed off. I explode, in a sense.

I turned to TaeMin-ah, my chest heaving as I took breaths, my heart beating ten times quicker than usual because of my anger.

"What happened, and what in the world made them fight each other?!" I exclaimed, and the younger man flinched as I asked him. I unconsciously asked that way because of this huge... anger and disappointment I felt for the two men who had tried to fight each other.

TaeMin-ah answered anyway with a "Key Hyung came home holding a bottle of strong soju. He was drinking it directly from the bottle. JongHyun Hyung, despite being awkward with Key Hyung, told him to stop and even tried to take the bottle from him. But Key Hyung just brushed him off and punched him, exclaiming lines like 'Because of you, ShiRin-ah doesn't love me!' and the loud 'I won't ever let you have her!'. He tried to beat JongHyun Hyung up, too. JongHyun Hyung resisted of course, but then began prattling on about 'Why the heck did you kiss ShiRin-ah like that during the performance?! Don't you know that it hurts me?!' ."

As I listened to the story, I saw Onew Oppa and MinHo-yah nod, while JongHyun Oppa kept silent. And Key-ah... had tears flowing down his cheeks as he looked at the floor, still locked in Onew Oppa's arms.

Key-ah... was being too childish. He's being too hyped up over my rejection. And to think that JongHyun Oppa's been holding back for him. Oppa's even tried to be nice to him, while he just brushes it off, and punches his hyung while he's at it.

JongHyun Oppa, who had calmed down somewhat, told MinHo-yah a soft "MinHo-yah, I'm calm enough now. Let me go to ShiRin-ah." and was granted of his request. When he got to where I was, he took my hands, which were now balled tightly into fists, and ran his thumb over the skin of it, trying to make me loosen up. I thought that was the only thing that he was gonna do.

But I was wrong.

He suddenly crushed me to his chest, and then and there, sobs broke out from my frame.

Only then did I really find out that while I was listening to the story of TaeMin-ah earlier, tears had been flowing down my cheeks already.

"Uljima, ShiRin-ah. Uljima..." JongHyun Oppa whispered to me ear, but I pulled myself free from him.

Although I love the feeling of having you holding me and comforting me, JongHyun Oppa... there is someone I'd have to tend to first.

I pushed gently past JongHyun Oppa to make my way to Key-ah, who was then released by Onew Oppa. Key-ah was still looking at the ground, tears still staining his cheeks. I sighed, willing my tears away as I took Key-ah's face into my hands and made him look at me.

Because if I want him to let me go, then I have to do this properly.

"Key-ah, please don't kill yourself slowly by drinking and withdrawing yourself from the rest of SHINee. No matter how much pain you had felt from their apparent lack of concern for you, please know as well that they are only human, and that mistakes are inveitable." I said softly.

"ShiRin-ah, it's not them. I've already forgiven all of them if they forgot to tell me about the whole SPARKS guesting thing." He said, and I pressed his forehead to mine.

"Then, why is it that you're drinking? Why is it that you've nearly beaten JongHyun Oppa up? Hmmm?" I asked gently, hearing him sob again.

"ShiRin-ah, it can't be anyone but you... Please understand. It couldn't be anyone else..." He murmured, and I understood.

I had been thinking of it the whole week. The feeling of intense want to go to him... was the fact that I felt guilty about my actions. I know that even if we had a connection before, I couldn't bring it back, and I wouldn't want to. I am still focused with my career, and I have no plans to be in a relationship, after all. I couldn't risk my new life for that now, and never would I dare to.

"Key-ah, you said that all you wanted was for me to realize your feelings, and that I didn't need to return them, right?" I asked him, pulling back from the intimate gesture, and he nodded. I smiled.

"Then, I will give you what you want. I fully understand that you have feelings for me. I know it's not only JongHyun Oppa who's in love with me, and I will give you the right treatment, which you deserve. If you want us to be sweet together, then so be it. However, I ask that you don't go beyond the limits we will set, and that we respect each other's decisions. Is it okay, then?" I asked him, and surprisingly...

...I saw him smile.

"That's all I wanted, ShiRin-ah." Key-ah said before turning to JongHyun Oppa and smiling at him. The latter understood, and hugged Key-ah. Everyone else followed.

But the group hug was suddenly cut when JongHyun Oppa's phone rang. He took it from his pocket and saw that it was just a simple message.

His reaction to it was no simple thing, however. His eyes widened, his breathing became uneven, and he looked like he was fearing for his life.

I rushed to look at what the message contained, and my eyes widened as I read it.

I immediately looked at JongHyun Oppa, and as he gave the phone to Key-ah so that the others could read it better, he held me in his arms, his body trembling, his composure thrown out the window.

"ShiRin-ah. Help me. Ottokae?" He said in a voice of a confused and desperate man being chased by his past. I could only run my hand up and down his back to try my best to soothe him.

From: Unknown Number

Jjong-ah, it's me, Kyung-ah.
I need you back. I've been stupid, and I'm sorry.
Please meet me at the coffee shop we used to go to on the 18th.
I'm begging you, Jjong-ah. Please come.
I love you.
