Confession

Eotteokhae?! I fell in love with an idol!

Important Note: There's a possibility of odd jumpers between different scenes, especially while they perform. I used to have videos for the various stages, however, I decided to remove those years ago and never bothered to edit the chapter itself.

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

Next day...

Narrator's POV:

All SHINee members were rushing through the dorm. They came back to get their things. When they got all their stuff, they went to the building where they're performing their last concert. They practised for one to two hours and then got ready. All of them were nervous. The manager's wife wished them luck. Before Taemin got out, she stopped him.

"Hm? What's wrong?" he asked. She put a necklace around his neck and held his hands.

"Number 355. Don't forget to smile when you see her," she said and smiled. Taemin smiled back and bowed.

"Kamsahamnida," he said and got out.

 

Meanwhile...

All the girls were running through the whole apartment to prepare for the concert. Yoogeun and his father were the only ones who were chilling.

"Yoogeun-ah~ Do you think Taemin appa will be happy to see Charlene noona?" Mr Jung asked Yoogeun. Yoogeun nodded.

"Taemin hyung will love it!" he cheered. Mr Jung stared at his son surprised.

"Since when are you calling them hyung?" he asked.

"Since I decided to. To call them appa would make them feel old..." Yoogeun answered his father. Mr Jung nodded slowly. After a while, all the girls got ready. They all got into the van and made their way to the concert.

 

The concert...

All the fans were screaming around, though their idols weren't still on stage. Suddenly the hall got dark. The only thing which was making some light, we're the pearlescent green light sticks. Then the big screen went on. It introduced all the SHINee members.

Suddenly the sound of a guitar came. Drums filled the hall. Out from nowhere, their voices came. Everyone cheered as Jonghyun appeared on stage in a cage. All the other members were chained against a wall. They pulled their hands away from the wall and jumped on the safe ground. Then they began to sing the rock version of Lucifer.

After the song, they all bowed and greeted the screaming crowd.

"ANNYEONGHASEYO! JEONEUN SHINEE IMNIDA!!" they said and waved their hands. Girls went crazy and some of them even began to cry.

"I'm tofu sangtae leader Onew!"

"I'm dancing maknae Taemin!"

"Bling Bling Jonghyun here!"

"Flaming charisma Minho available!"

"Diva umma Key on stage!" They introduced themselves.

"Anyways, welcome to our last concert dear fans!" Minho cheered with the audience.

"Also if you all aren't any more teenagers, we still love you guys!!" Jonghyun screamed and waved his hands at the crowd.

"I have one important question!" Onew suddenly said. They all looked at him with curiosity. He turned his attention back to the fans.

"DO YOU WANT US SEE SINGING OR NOT?!?!" he yelled. They all yelled yes back.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" he yelled once again. The audience screamed, yelled and cried.

"Okay then! Boys!" he said and they all nodded.

Music began to play. This time, it was Ring Ding Dong. Onew made a mistake in the song. The audience laughed with glee. Ready or Not then came.

The boys enjoyed their last concert with their heart. No one ever saw them like this. When Onew saw a fan crying, he told her not to cry.

A-Yo was the next song. The boys cheered and jumped to the song along with like little kids. Suddenly, it poured confetti on stage and in the audience. The fans were fascinated by the sudden surprise. "Since today is our last concert, we also want to do one special fan service!" Key then said. The audience got excited. They began to talk about what would it be. "Anyways, how are you all?" Minho then asked. The people said "Fine!" "Okay" "Stressed," "Not really in the mood" and many other things. "For those who are not fine, please come up on stage!" Jonghyun said and the fans did, what they were told to do.

To their surprise, there weren't many. Maybe ten people? They then began. The ninth person sat down on the chair which Taemin prepared. "So! What's your problem, pretty lady?" Jonghyun asked. The girl started to talk. "I broke up with my boyfriend just a few days ago, because of something. I-I didn't mean to say those words to him!" Suddenly the girl started crying. Onew comforted her and gave her the tissues he had in his pocket. "Honey, if you do love your boyfriend, why don't you just apologise to him?" Jonghyun asked and bent down. The girl started to cry even more. Minho came and comforted her too. "Sshh~ It's okay~," he said.

Mrs Jung, Rochelle, Charlene, Elizabeth and Key also cried. "Hey! Don't cry or I'm going to hit you!" Rochelle told Charlene and she laughed while crying. "Hit me. I need it right now~" Charlene said. But instead of hitting, Rochelle hugged Charlene and they both cried their hearts out.

"I-I don't even know if he would forgive me!" the girl told Jonghyun. "Give it a try~ Maybe he's watching or listening to the radio right now," Jonghyun said and gave her the mic. The girl took it. "B-...babe~ If you're watching right now, listening to the radio or even if you're here right now...*sobs*...please forgive me~ I...I-I didn't mean to say those words!" The girl stopped and buried her face in Onew's lap. She cried like there's no tomorrow. All the SHINee members comforted her. Suddenly a male voice shouted from the audience. "Who was that?" Onew asked and got out of the group hug. A boy ran up on stage with teary eyes and all the others let go off the girl. She immediately shot up from her seat and hugged the boy. "Gosh! I thought you already forgot me." the girl whispered. The boy shook his head with a smile. "Why should I forget about the best thing which ever happened to me?" he asked and kissed her forehead.

The people cheered and clapped their hands. Some of them also cried. "See Taemin, this is real love," Jonghyun whispered to the maknae still watching the young pair hugging each other. The boy then turned his attention to SHINee. "Hey...um...thanks, guys. I wouldn't be able to be with her again if you wouldn't have done that fan service." the boy said and bowed. SHINee bowed too and the pair got off stage. "Wow..." Key said. "So, since we 'helped' a pair to come together again, we now call the last please," Onew said and they all nodded. Suddenly a woman came on stage. It was none other than Mrs Jung.

Key smiled like a fool and pushed Jonghyun aside. "So Miss~~ What is your problem?" he asked emphasising the word 'your'. Mrs Jung took the microphone. "Well, I have those three girls in my apartment. Two of then have a boyfriend but the middle one had one... I think she fell in love with a certain boy..." Mrs Jung said. Charlene's eyes widened. "Hey Rochelle, is she talking about me?" she asked and Rochelle shrugged. "I think so. You're the only one from us three who had a boyfriend," she said and turned her attention back to the stage.

"Miss, what's the boy's name?" Jonghyun asked curiously. "His name starts with T. I can't remember him right now..." Mrs Jung said and he nodded. "Miss, how can we help you to solve this problem?" Minho then asked. "Usually, nobody can. I just wish for her that she will tell the boy as soon as possible. I have to admit, all three of them are like my daughters. I wished for one when I was pregnant, but now I have a son..." Mrs Jung told the boys and faked an upset face. "Thank you, Miss, for your contribution," Jonghyun said and Key helped Mrs Jung to get down.

"Do you think it worked?" he asked her. "I don't know either. Let's hope it clicked by both of them," she whispered and went towards the girls.

"Since our concert is nearing an end, we want to announce something important," Taemin said. They all gave him a curious look. Even the other SHINee members. "Our manager told me that we will hold our last fan meeting tomorrow. So, for everyone interested, come back here tomorrow. Since it's our last, you can take pictures with us, ask for autographs and talk with us." Taemin said and looked down. The audience began to talk. "Taemin, you forgot something." Key mouthed to him. "Let him hyung. It's better to leave this decision in his own hands." Minho whispered. Key sighed and looked down.

They then sang the last songs. When they've finished, they thanked their fans for coming and went backstage.

 

Taemin's POV:

We all went backstage. Pabo...I'm such a...I'M SUCH A GREAT !!! I grabbed a mic and ran out back on the stage. "Charlene?" I asked. All eyes were fixed on me. Even from my hyungs. "Who is that?" "What's Taemin doing?" People started to talk and to ask questions. I sighed heavily. What if she doesn't accept it? I mean...I'm confessing her in front of a thousand people! It would be embarrassing if she rejects me! I then felt a touch on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Minho hyung with an assuring smile. I took a deep breath and held the mic right in front of my lips.

"I...I have to announce something important..." I shuttered. DAMN MAN!! Why did I just shutter?! I looked around the audience. No sign of her...

 

Charlene's POV:

I was about to get out with the others when I heard my name being called. I turned my head and saw Taemin on stage with a mic. Just him, none other. Suddenly Minho also came on stage and patterned Taemin on his shoulder with a smile which says "Just tell them~". "I...I have to announce something important..." Taemin then shuttered. I got curious and stood there wanting him to continue.

"There is this g...girl which I've been liking for years..." he continued. Okay, now I'm getting curious. He sighed and sat down on the floor of the stage. "She...I don't know how it came to it that I fell for her, but she somehow has this power to make me happy doesn't matter in which mood I am. There's also this stomach thing. Do you know what I mean?" he asked and the people said yes. "Anyways, I...I-I wanna tell you guys, I hope you guys accept her," he said and stood up again. "Taemin! How does the girl look like?" one of the fans asked. He smiled and spoke again. "She will be maybe not the prettiest girl for some of you, but for me, she's...perfect," he said. I my heart fluttered already. though I don't know whom he means...

"How's her personality?" another girl asked. "Let's say, she's tough but can be sometimes really stubborn. She tells other people what she thinks and I don't think that most of the boys here would like her." Taemin answered and chuckled. I swear, I'm dying here right now. "And what's her name?" someone on the stage suddenly asked. We all turned our attention to the left of the stage. It was Key with a huge grin. "You guys really wanna know her name?" Taemin asked and the audience cheered yes. "But promise me one thing, guys. If someone is going to hurt her, I'm going to hurt the one," he said and held his index finger up. They all nodded. "Is there Charlene Alonzo?" he asked and they all gave him a weird look. My heart skipped a beat as I heard my name escaping from his lips.

 

Taemin's POV:

"Is there Charlene Alonzo?" I asked. My hands were shaking and I sweated. "Taemin, we're going to find her." Jonghyun hyung said and I nodded. They all went down except for me. Even manager hyung and his wife went down. I know that I'm going to be dead because of my contract. But who cares? At least I know her feelings towards me.

 

Narrator's POV:

All the SHINee members plus the manager's wife and daughter were looking for Charlene. They were all screaming her name out and asking how she looks like. "Charlene!" "Yo! Daughter!!" "Chicken GFF the 2nd!!" "Charlene?!" they all screamed. "Where is she?" "Who is she?" "How does she look like?" the audience asked the members.

Charlene stood there on her spot, not even moving an inch. She felt someone tugging her sleeve. She looked down and found SHINee's manager's daughter smiling at her. "Unnie~ Oppa is searching for you~" she pouted and Charlene smiled at her. She bent down and caressed her cheek. "Unnie~ Why aren't you going to Taemin oppa?" the daughter asked innocently. Charlene sighed. "Daejin~ Did you know that unnie is a person who can get afraid of such things?" Charlene asked Daejin and she shrugged. "But oppa likes you~~ And I don't want to disappoint him." Daejin pouted again. Charlene pinched her cheeks and smiled weakly at the girl. "Unnie~~ C'mon!" she whined and tugged on Charlene's sleeve. She sighed. "Unnie~ Pwease~~" Daejin pouted and Charlene followed her. She led her unnie to Jonghyun.

"Omo! There you are!" he said and took Charlene by her hand. All the others already gave up searching a few minutes ago. "Charlene!" Key squealed as he approached the three. He then continued for Jonghyun and dragged Charlene on stage. "Wait!" Charlene said and looked at them with innocent eyes. "Are you sure I should do this?" she asked them. Suddenly she saw John, Hyungseok and Anthony behind them with the others.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked surprised. "We're here to support you of course!" Anthony cheered trying to be her mood up. But it somehow failed. John went to her and took her hands. "Hey~ If you love..." "Taemin?" Minho asked and John thanked him. "If you love Taemin, why aren't you going up? It doesn't seem like you would love him back, do you?" he asked and Charlene stared into his eyes. He caressed her cheek and smiled. John then went towards her and hugged her tight. "If he hurts you, just tell me. You know I'm here for you~" he said and Charlene smiled weakly back. "Hey, Charlene~ Sorry for saying that I hate him. I usually was just jealous of the fact that you liked him back then..." Hyungseok apologised and scratched the back of his neck. Charlene chuckled and hugged him too. "You know what? I don't even regret it to be your fake girlfriend~" she said and let go of him. "You should get up now honey~ Someone is already waiting for you," Jonghyun said and she nodded.

 

Charlene's POV:

I went on stage and saw Taemin walking to and fro with his head down. I went to him. Suddenly the fans began to cheer but others were outraged. He turned his head and smiled at me. He went for me. "Hey~," he said. "Hey~," I told him too. Taemin then took my hands and looked deeply into my eyes. "Charlene...I...I don't..." he stopped and sighed. I gave him a worried look.

 

Taemin's POV:

"Charlene...I...I don't..." I stopped and looked down. How should I tell her my feelings towards her? I turned my heads to my hyungs. "Bend down on your knees!" Key hyung mouthed and I nodded. I bent down on my knees while still holding her hands. Her face turned from a worried one, into a shocked one. "W-...what are you doing?" she asked and wanted to let go of my hands, but I held them tight. "Would you be my girlfriend? Not fake, but my real girlfriend~" I asked her in a soft tone with pleading eyes. Her expression softened.

 

Rochelle's POV:

"Would you be my girlfriend? Not fake, but my real girlfriend~" Taemin asked Charlene. Key's and my mouth were wide open. I then felt someone hugging me from behind. I looked back and saw Minho with a huge smile on his face. "Maybe I should have also confessed to you like that way." he teased me. I raised an eyebrow at him. He chuckled and kissed my cheek. "No~ I'm even glad that I've already finished my mission," he told me and I pecked his cheek too.

I turned my attention back to the soon-to-be couple. Charlene still didn't give him an answer. Suddenly someone shouted "C'MON GIRL!!! MOMMY IS WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!!!". We all turned our heads and saw a pair with an older boy. "Mrs Lee?" Onew asked surprised. "COME ON LITTLE BROTHER!!! WOOHOOOO!!!" the boy cheered. "Y...yes..." I suddenly heard. I looked on stage again. "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" I then yelled. Charlene looked at me and gave me a shut-up look. I pouted until Taemin grabbed her face and kissed her while smiling. My eyes widened. I then cheered along with the others. She made it!!! I still can't believe it!!! AAAHHHH!!! My fangirl scream is coming again!

Fans were screaming crazily around. Some of them cheered, another part cried and others were outraged. "OPPAAAA~~~" "How dare she can snap him away from me?!!!" "WOOHOO!!! OPPA HAS FINALLY A GIRLFRIEND!!!" "LONG LIVE THEIR LOVE!!!" they all screamed. I chuckled. "I have to go on stage. Wait backstage for us with the others." Minho winked at me and I nodded.

 

Charlene's POV:

I never knew something like this could happen. I never had the idea to fall for an idol. He parted our lips and smiled at me. I felt myself tearing up and hugged him. I buried my head into his neck. "Happy Birthday, by the way, ~" he whispered into my ear and kissed my forehead. I slapped his arm and he chuckled. "I already thought you forgot it!" I glared. "Do you think I would?" he asked but I didn't answer his question. "You know what? You just stole me my first kiss."

 

Taemin's POV:

"You know what? You just stole me my first kiss." Charlene said and I chuckled. "Why? Not satisfied with it?" I asked her and she hit for the second time my arm. "This is not funny!" she said and glared at me. I laughed. I then felt someone tapping my shoulder. I turned my head and saw the other hyungs. I told Charlene to get backstage. She nodded and went backstage.

"I'm proud of you~" Onew hyung whispered into my ear with a smile. "Hey, Taemin! Dare you hurt Charlene." Jonghyun hyung said and I laughed.

"Hey, guys! Thanks once again for coming! And don't forget the meeting tomorrow!!!" Minho hyung cheered and the rest of the audience got out.

We got backstage. Suddenly confetti poured out from nowhere. "CHUKKAHAE!!!" "CONGRATULATION BOYS!!!" "YOU MADE IT!!!" they all cheered and clapped their hands. Jihyun noona went towards me and hugged me tightly. "Omo~ My baby is getting manlier!" she joked and I laughed. "Guys, guys! We still have a birthday kid!" Minhyuk hyung said and we all turned our attention to Charlene. She was staring at us surprised. We then began to sing "Happy Birthday". We cheered after the song and they all hugged her.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Since Taemin is from today on her official boyfriend, they should kiss!" Key hyung said and emphasized the word "kiss". They all nodded in agreement. I looked over to Charlene who gulped with widened eyes. I smiled to myself and went towards her. I took her one hand, pulled her towards me and kissed her on her lips. They all clapped their hands and cheered. "Go Taemin! Go Taemin! Go Taemin! Go Taemin!" Rochelle and Key hyung cheered. Suddenly we heard a loud gasp. I pulled off and saw behind me my family with widened eyes. Suddenly umma squealed like a little girl and clapped her hands. "AAAAAHHHH!!!" she squealed and ran towards us. "Omo!!! Yah! Why didn't you tell me she looks that beautiful?!" umma yelled and looked at Charlene. She blushed by her words and all the others laughed.

"Why are you suddenly blushing sweetie? Taemin didn't tell me that you're blushing." I tugged on umma's sleeve. "What? Am I not allowed to ask?" she pouted and hugged me tightly. "Aigo~ I'm so happy he finally got you!" umma told Charlene and she blushed even more.

"Taemin~" I turned my head and saw hyung smiling at me. "Congratulation~ She looks really pretty," he whispered and I thanked him. "Don't hurt her. A girl like her doesn't deserve to be played with." hyung said and I looked at him surprised. "Why? It's true," he exclaimed and wrapped his arm on my shoulder.

"Guys, we should go now." Minho hyung said and we all headed to the SM building back.

 

Narrator's POV:

When they entered the building, confetti poured over them. All the other bands such as 2PM, SNSD, Super Junior, MYNAME, Boyfriend, etc were there. They all congratulated them. L.Joe went towards Charlene and gave her a weak smile.

"Hey." he greeted her. "So...you found him now?" he asked with a sad expression but with a forced smile. Charlene nodded and smiled back. "L.Joe...sorry again for...you know..." Charlene told him. But instead of getting angry, he pulled her to him and hugged her. "At least you've found him now," he whispered with teary eyes and let go of her again. "Why are you crying?" Charlene asked worriedly. "It's nothing..." L.Joe said and wiped his tears away. "Omo, what am I doing?" he laughed. "Hey! If you need someone to talk, just call me." Charlene said and he nodded. Suddenly someone called her.

"CHARLENE!!!" Charlene turned her head and saw Jihae trying to run through the crowd. "I'm sorry! Omo, mianhae! Shisamnida unnie!" Jihae apologised and bowed several times. She then approached Charlene and paced her and with hers. "Where are we going?!" Charlene yelled because of loud music. "I don't know too! I'm just fulfilling someone's wish!" Jihae yelled back. They then got into a van.

 

During the ride, Jihae covered Charlene's eyes with a scarf. "What the heck are you doing?" Charlene asked. "As I told you before, I'm just fulfilling someone's wish," Jihae answered. After several minutes, Jihae jumped out of the van and pulled Charlene out. "Are you sure I can trust you?" Charlene joked. Jihae rolled her eyes and pulled her towards a dark hall. Charlene put the scarf down.

"What the?! Are you joking or what? It's dark here!" Charlene said but there was no sign of Jihae. Charlene went a few steps back and felt the light switcher.

She switched the light on. Suddenly confetti poured and cheers filled the room. "WOOHOO!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" they all cheered. *No wonder I couldn't find them at the party* Charlene thought and smiled brightly.

 

Charlene's POV:

A smile crept on my face. No wonder I couldn't found them earlier at the party. I then felt someone hugging me from behind. I turned my head and saw Rochelle with a huge grin. "Happy birthday dear cousin~~," she said.

Suddenly an overwhelming feeling came up. Tears started to form in my eyes. "Yah~ Don't cry!" Minkyung said and hugged me too. Unfortunately, she also started to cry. "Aigo~ Why are girls always that sensible?" Key asked sarcastically and hugged me too. "Hey! You're also sensible!" I exclaimed and he laughed. "By the way, your boyfriend is waiting for you outside," he said and pulled me out.

While they were all celebrating inside, I got out to watch for Taemin. I then found him talking to L.Joe.

 

L.Joe's POV:

When I arrived at Charlene's party, I found Taemin hyung laying against the fence. I went beside him and watched the ducks swimming in the pond.

"L.Joe. I-" "Dare you to thank me hyung." I interrupted him. He gave me a confused look. "I should usually thank you, not you me," I told him and looked at him. I then turned my attention back to the ducks. "I usually already knew it from the first day on when they arrived that she likes you. I was just too selfish to accept the fact. During my relationship with Charlene, I kinda sensed a hint of disappointment and depression in her. But when she always saw you, it all went away like it never existed..." I told him and he nodded. "L.Joe. I don't want to thank you. I just want to say sorry..." hyung suddenly said. I gave him a confused look. Why is he sorry? For what is he sorry?

"Why that?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. "For what I did when I'm near her..." he said. I looked down and cleared my throat. "Don't be. You should be thankful that someone took care of her before you." I said. There then was an awkward silence. Suddenly I heard someone calling Taemin hyung's name. I turned my head and saw Charlene waving her hands at us. I smiled to myself and left first.

"Where are you going?" she asked as I passed her. "I'm just going in. No need to be worried." I told her and continued to walk. I went into the hall where they're all celebrating and looked out of the window where I saw the couple hugging. I envy them, but I'm happy for Charlene...

 

Taemin's POV:

I hear my name being called. I turned my head and saw Charlene walking towards us. L.Joe left and went in again. I smiled weakly at Charlene. She raised an eyebrow. "What's bothering you?" she asked. I sighed and looked at the pond. "Nothing much, just being worried about something..." I told her and looked down. "And...what is it?" she asked and took place beside me. "I'm thinking about it why you said yes..." I told her. She looked at me and then hugged me.

"Don't tell me that Key brought you to any idea," she said and let go. I shook my head. "No, I was the one. But...that's before it all came..." I told her and looked once again down. "I don't know why I'm telling it to you right now, but I liked your personality from the beginning when I became to know you," she told me. I looked up and gave her a questioning face. "Really?" I asked and she nodded. I got closer to her and pecked her cheek. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked her and she shrugged. "I don't know, but I'm kinda asking myself why I even fell for an idol..." she said and turned her head to me. I shrugged too. "Wanna go for a walk?" I asked and she cheered with glee. "Yo guys! The guests want a piece of cake! We still need the birthday kid!" Jonghyun hyung yelled and we went in again. "Hey Taemin~," he said in a soft tone and I stopped. A creepy smile appeared on his face. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MAKNAE?! FIRST THE CONFESSION, THEN THE OFFICIAL THING AND AFTER ALL, A KISS?!?!" he yelled and hugged me tightly. "I'm gonna miss you~," he told me and I hugged him back. "Good luck with Charlene and don't get into trouble. And please...take care of both of you," he said and I nodded. I then went beside my girlfriend and she blew the candles.f

Right at that moment when Charlene turned her head to me, I felt someone bumping me from behind and I accidentally kissed her once again.
