*Twinkle, twinkle, little star…* Hannah sings in a low mumble, distantly looking at the wall, *how I wonder what you are…* Her fingers are lightly playing with Jonghyun’s dyed blonde hair as they are oddly sitting together on a small sofa. 5 Pieces are back in the studio with Max Martin and while taking a break after eating, it seems their energy has disappeared. Hannah has no idea of how they even got in this position. Hannah had sat down next to Jonghyun when he leaned on her and she somehow has turned for her back to face the room and she is leaning towards the sofa with one leg over Jonghyun’s leg, her other leg is on the sofa with Jonghyun’s body leaning on it and his head is kind of crushed between Hannah’s chest and the backrest. Her arms are around him, singing lowly while being distant. They aren’t even talking, just sitting there, cuddling and spacing out both of them. Well, Hannah is singing. She stops without getting far on the song and Jonghyun tilts his head back a bit to look up at her. “You’re always singing lullabies,” he comments. “Mm…” “AGUH!” Maria dramatically comes inside the room and quickly scans a table with some snacks on it. “I’m starving… I haven’t eaten anything at all.” Hannah closes her eyes while putting her chin on Jonghyun’s head, hearing Julia telling Maria that she just finished eating – how could she be hungry already again? Jonghyun smiles at them. Maria opens a bag of chips, chewing on one while glaring at Julia who is sitting at the other side of the table. Julia is eating now, as she finished recording after the others. “That’s nothing for me,” Maria tells Julia at her comment. “I need a lot of food to work.” “It’s incredible how you can eat so much,” Julia mentions, suddenly praising her and Maria flips her hair over her shoulder. “It’s what my mommy and daddy gave me, darling, don’t be too jealous of me.” Jonghyun hides his mouth against Hannah’s arm to not be heard laughing at the diva of 5 Pieces. After New Year, three of the ladies went to their hometown a few hours away. Carolina, Emelia and Maria have spent two days at home with their families while Julia and Hannah have been in the capital, mostly resting and hanging out with their crew. Maria, who was about to get sick a few days ago said she got cured the second she put her arms around her mother. Homesickness, she said it was, since she was this close to home. The others said she had exaggerated with alcohol and karaoke that night before New Year, since was sore. It is good she is feeling better, since they have spent two days in the studio recording two new songs. They finished recording the song they worked on last week when they were in the studio yesterday, and today they are recording a completely different song – a ballad. Maria shakes her head while coming over to the sofa, offering Jonghyun some chips by holding out the bag. “Julia is addicted,” Maria tells him, “She is even filming herself eating.” Julia smiles at the camera she has put up on the table, actually filming herself eating. “It’s not an addiction.” “It’s an addiction!” Maria dramatically tells her. “First step of recovering is that you need to accept it is an addiction. Accept it, darling!” “You’re too loud,” Julia laughs and hides behind her hand. She turns the camera to film Maria, who holds out the bag for Jonghyun to take more chips. “I’m just stating facts. It’s my way to care for you,” Maria says with an expression that shows what a horrible actress she is. Jonghyun holds up his hand to cover his face when seeing Julia is filming them. Hannah looks like she is sleeping. “The thoughtful Maria…” Julia says, focusing on zooming in on their leader, “She imagines problems to make it seem she cares for you.” Jonghyun almost chokes on his chips at the joke and when he sits up to cough, Hannah hits him on the back without opening her eyes. Maria is laughing too, maybe more because Jonghyun is choking rather than Julia said she imagines problems. Jonghyun finishes coughing but is still laughing behind his hand when leaning against Hannah anew. He tilts his head backwards into a hole between her shoulder and the backrest. With Julia putting the camera back in place to continue to eat, Maria walks over to annoy her a bit. Putting her fingers in front of Julia’s face, trying to take a bite of her food, making noise with the bags of chips while standing behind Julia and so on. She has just stopped teasing when one of Max Martin’s staff comes inside the room. He looks around to see there are three of the ladies in the room. “Max is on the phone with Sam Smith, in case you still want to say hi to him,” he tells them in Swedish, clearly getting all of their attention. “Sam Smith?” Maria asks, gaping with her hand stopping in front of from stuffing more chips in. “I thought that was a joke.” He smiles at her. “It wasn’t a joke. So, are you coming?” he asks and motions to the door. “Hell yeah!” Maria answers while already being halfway through the room, laughing when telling the staff she seriously thought Max was joking with them when earlier suggesting to call the English singer. Hannah taps Jonghyun on the chest for him to get up, and Julia grabs her camera and a napkin to come along too. Max Martin is sitting in the studio with his laptop in front of him. It’s not a phone call, it’s a video call. Emelia is already there, sitting next to Max and currently talking to the English singer and song-writer Sam Smith on the laptop. The other ladies gather behind Max and Emelia, crowding closely together to be visible in the cam and after some messily exchange of words, the ladies greet him in one voice. He is smiling widely. “This is such an honour, you got no idea,” he tells the ladies. “You’re kidding, it’s our honour,” Maria says with a hand to her cheek. She can’t stop smiling and she is hugging on to Julia’s arm tightly. “Sam,” Max joins in, “They have said countless of times how talented you are and that the song fits them perfectly. The whole day I’ve been shoved aside because the one they keep mentioning is you.” “Really? 5 Pieces said that about me?” Sam asks and gives a light laugh when looking like he is going to fall off the chair he is sitting on. “I’m honoured, really. I’m a big fan. You ladies are truly inspiring and powerful as human beings and, honestly, your song [Pillow Fight] is currently the song I listen to no matter what mood I’m in. It is such a feel-good song that makes me dance all the time.” Hannah is smiling with the others, looking over her shoulder to see Jonghyun hiding in the back with Manager Lim. Sam Smith is the songwriter behind the song they are recording today, he and a few other songwriters. And just like Max had said, the ladies have complimented not just the lyrics of the song but also Sam Smith like a bunch of fools. And now when talking to him over the video call, the compliments are being shoot in heart-filled arrows back and forth through the screen. 5 Pieces’ admiration to Sam Smith, and his admiration to 5 Pieces. “We’re the same age!” Sam laughs loudly through the screen. “Born 1992!” “I thought he was a year older,” Maria mumbles behind her hand before leaning forward to apologize. Hannah had lost track on the conversation when he suddenly laughed that they are the same age. Julia says that is why they will get along well and Sam nods, saying he thinks so too. “I’m already imagining the six of us in our pyjamas with pizza and dancing around to [Pillow Fight],” Sam Smith happily shares and moves his body as the song actually seem to be in him. He is funny, taking ideas from the music video on how they will hang out. The ladies all say they should make it happen, all excited to just imagine them hanging out.   ++ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + -+ - + - ++   The last day in Sweden. After a morning show, they are free for the rest of the time until they will leave for Japan the next morning. During the day, they go shopping and rest at the hotel. Hannah and Jonghyun go to the gym once they are back at the hotel and while waiting for dinner, the couple decides to go for a walk, to enjoy Stockholm a bit more before leaving. They are out for over an hour, just wandering while the sun sets. Two guards have accompanied them, mostly walking behind the couple to make it seem they are alone but from time to time Hannah has asked them for directions to have at least the guards know where they are. Their presence is to make sure no one approaches the couple. And from what Hannah and Jonghyun can tell, no one (fan or paparazzi) is even following them. It’s nice, calming. After an hour of walking and talking, Hannah turns on her Instagram live and starts off by filming her feet. She walks for at least a minute while seeing the number of viewers rising. She steps to the side to kick a stone on the asphalt and walks slowly while focusing on filming in front of her as well as her feet. Two minutes goes by. From a few people watching the live to a thousand; it goes quickly and she lowly mentions it to Jonghyun as they both are seeing the comments filling the live. “Hello,” Hannah greets in Swedish. Jonghyun repeats it after her. He holds her free hand in his pocket, leaning towards her to read the comments. Hannah smiles at his voice before greeting in English and Korean as well. She continues in English; “Happy New Year! It’s now 2018 and for us, it’s starting off in Sweden. … I was expecting a lot of snow when we came here but as you can see, there isn’t much at all… I’m a little disappointed, to be honest, and it’s not as chilly as I thought either.” “I think it’s cold,” Jonghyun mentions to her in Korean. Hannah giggles and angles the camera down a bit to show it is two pair of feet walking together. “Jonghyun thinks it’s cold in Sweden. He is wrapped in layers and even got to wear my scarf. … The air is colder in Stockholm than in Seoul, but it’s not a big difference if you look at the degrees.” She asks Jonghyun in Korean if it’s colder in Sweden than in Korea. “It feels colder here,” he agrees with her, “The air is clear too, because there are less fumes in the air.” Hannah lowly repeats the word ‘fumes’, as it is not a Korean word she hears often. Jonghyun smiles at her. “Mm,” she nods at his words. She tilts the phone to film out on the bridge they are about to walk past. It seems like there isn’t anyone outside at all, Stockholm isn’t as crowded as Seoul. She asks in English if people can see the bridge despite the dark sky, though there are streetlights and pretty Christmas lights shining up the place. Fans are commenting a lot, asking to see their faces, saying their voices are low, asking questions and soon also saying the view is pretty. The comments are in all kind of languages, but they see many Korean comments, most are in English but Hannah also spot Swedish comments and a few other languages. Most writes in English though, saying Chile loves you or love from Spain and such. The comments are flooding in. Fans are ecstatic because Hannah is filming live on Instagram and they know Jonghyun is there too. Questions are bubbling through and excitement are shown in the way fans are writing, saying how much they missed the couple, wishing them well, hoping they are healthy and mentally feeling better and so on. It is a lot of fans sending comments to Jonghyun, wanting to let him know they love him and cheer him on. “Do you know how to flip the camera?” Jonghyun wonders. He lets go of her hand to wrap his arm around her shoulders, getting a better view of her phone. With Jonghyun’s question, Hannah mumbles if he wants her to flip the camera. He nods simply, agreeing on being filmed. She lifts the camera a bit for a better angle before flipping the camera for a selfie-mode, suddenly smiling when seeing how Jonghyun’s face is hooded from his cap so his eyes are barely seen in the live, and Hannah’s face is slightly hidden too under the hood of her jacket. They look warm with rosy cheeks and red noses. “We are enjoying some free time today,” Hannah mentions in English, then repeats it in Korean. “Yeah,” Jonghyun answers before he chuckles; “We’ve been walking for an hour, which you can see on our red noses.” Hannah smiles widely at his words. It gets quiet as she is reading comments, a few times reading them out loud. “Can Jonghyun speak Swedish?” Hannah asks in English before looking at her husband to say in Korean; “Can you say something in Swedish?” “Hej (hi),” he greets in Swedish and waves his hand. In a poor pronunciation he then adds; “Hur mår du? (How are you?) Jag älskar dig (I love you).” “Woah,” Hannah lowly says and lightly cheers, as she can’t clap her hands since she is holding the phone. “Din… Din lilla snorkråka,” Jonghyun says with some hesitation with a finger pointing out in nowhere and he smiles proudly when Hannah bursts out laughing. She covers her laugh behind her hand and has to step away from him, laughing loudly in shock. “Who taught you that?!” she bursts out, turning back to her husband and lifting up the phone while her face hurts from the expression he wears. “Maria. She said it to Emelia before,” Jonghyun answers. He keeps smiling at her, putting his arm around her again while asking why she is laughing so hard. “Do you have any idea of what that means?” Hannah asks before she focuses the phone to film her when adding to the viewers; “I’m sorry.” “What?” Jonghyun’s expression changes, worried he said something bad. “She said it wasn’t a bad word. Julia said it wasn’t a bad word either.” Hannah leans up on her toes to reach his ear, facing her husband when whispering to him what it means. “Snorkråka means snot crow.” She is shaking her head when leaning back to focus on the filming, and to have Jonghyun laugh at it. He just called someone a little snot crow. “Why does she always have those childish insults?” Jonghyun laughs. At his words, Hannah starts laughing again. It takes many seconds before they both have calmed down. Hannah is leaning against the arm around her, still smiling and hiding her face behind her hand as she tells Jonghyun he shouldn’t believe what the ladies tell him. “Emelia tried to teach me some curse words too,” Jonghyun reveals for the fans watching on the live. “But Hannah stopped her, saying I might accidentally say it at the wrong time.” Hannah frowns when something pops up on her phone, and next to her Jonghyun leans in closer with the exact same expression. “What’s that?” he mumbles. She is about to shrug her shoulder and say she doesn’t know when thinking she might know what it is. She presses ‘accept’ and suddenly their eyes widen in surprise to see their live is pushed up to the half of the screen, for someone else to appear on the lower half. She accepted someone to join their live. “Wazzup!” Jonghyun laughs and cheers in a low voice; “Key!” “SHINee’s Key, everyone,” Hannah lightly laughs too. “You are two idiots, you know that?” Key is laughing at them. “I’ve been commenting like crazy and neither of you have reacted to it.” His smile is wide though and he has both Hannah and Jonghyun smiling back at him. “Key, what are you up to? It must be midnight or something where you are,” Jonghyun comments. “It’s late, yeah. I’m just chilling at home, watching the two of you. What are you doing, by the way? Are you on a date or something?” “We’re taking a walk,” Hannah answers. “It’s a date
