Just Let Me Get To Know You

 

Iris’s POV

As soon as I felt his lips touch mine, it seemed liked the world stopped. Butterflies instantly grew in my stomach and my heart began to beat faster. Surprisingly, I immediately responded to his kiss, like I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. His lips were warm and softer than I had imagined. Unexpectedly, Onew pushed away as if he had been shocked by volts of electricity. He jumped up and began pacing back and forth, rubbing the back of his neck.

I wonder if his heart is beating as fast as mine.

“I’m so sorry Iris. I guess I was caught in the moment,” Onew embarrassedly said.

“It’s okay,” I said looking down at my guitar.

It’s going to get awkward now…

“…Ummm.. It’s getting late. Let me take you home,” Onew offered.

“Uh, okay,” I hesitantly replied and picked up my guitar and we began to walk out of the park. We walked in silence back towards my apartment complex, both of us caught in our own thoughts. I couldn’t help but to touch my lips, in disbelief of what happened moments earlier. Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at my apartment door.

“Um, so do you like the song?” I questioned.

“Ah.. yeah….” Onew replied and an awkward silence filled the air.

“I guess I’ll go in now. I’ll see you tomorrow,” I quickly said and ran inside.

I heavily sighed as I rested back against the door.

That was soo awkward.

I smacked myself against the head and unconsciously walked inside towards Mia’s room. I sat down on her bed and began to twiddle my thumbs. I didn’t know she was talking to me, until she began to shake me.

“Can you hear me? I asked did the duet go well.” Mia snapped.

“Huh? Oh yeah it did,” I said and went back to my thoughts.

His lips felt so soft.

“What happened? You’re acting strange,” Mia questioned.

I sighed and turned towards Mia.

“Okay, so I went to the park and Onew and I sat down next to a tree. Then, we began to sing Lucky; you know the one by Jason Mraz?” I started.

“Yeah, please continue,” Mia replied.

“Okay, we were singing and all, and then we…..kissed,” I finished.

“WHAT?! You and Onew? Kissed? So are you together now?” Mia asked.

“.. No.. I don’t think so. It was so awkward after we kissed, but it felt right for some reason,” I explained.

“Do you even like him?” Mia inquired.

Do I like Onew?

Every time he smiles at me, my heart flutters. His voice is so smooth and warm that I could listen to it all day. His lips…

I instantly touch my lips and a smile creeps on my face; I giggle to myself.

“Iris…iris…Iris?” Mia said as she waved her hands in front of my face.

“You’re zoning out too much. I asked do you like Onew oppa?” Mia questioned again.

I know the answer.

“Yes, I like him… a lot,” I started and began to grin like a mad man.

“Awww… my little Iris is in love,” Mia said and hugged me.

 

Onew’s POV

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I kissed Iris! I KISSSED HER. And it felt amazing… but I still don’t know if she likes me back. It was so awkward afterwards…  But I don’t really care right now. I, Onew Lee Jinki, kissed the most amazing girl in the world. I guess I should confess to her soon.

Ring, Ring, Ring. It was Minho

“Hey, Hyung. I have a question. Are you busy?” Minho inquired.

“No. Minho, the greatest thing happened to me today,” I eagerly replied.

“What happened?” Minho asked.

“I kissed Iris. We were caught in the moment and I kissed her and she kissed back. Her lips were so soft-“ I trailed off.

“So, I guess you won the bet then,” Minho said.

“Wait what? What bet?” I asked.

“You know, the bet that you and Jonghyun hyung made because he was being a jerk, and it was about whoever kisses her first gets to go out with her,” Minho replied.

I completely forgot about that bet.

“I could care less about the bet. I was going to ask her out regardless if I win or not,” I exclaimed.

“Have you told Jonghyun yet?” Minho wondered.

“No, not yet. I don’t plan on telling him. I have a feeling that he will try to ruin the chances of me and Iris getting together,” I responded.

“So are you going to confess to her?” Minho asked.

“Yes, I will. Soon.” I answered.

 

-The Next Day-

 

Mia and I got to school early so I could drop her off at the front desk to get her files situated. I walked into the classroom and immediately saw Onew. He smiled at me and I couldn’t help but blush. I returned his smile and quickly sat down at my seat. Moments later, Mia and Ms. Choi came into our classroom.

Yes! She’s in our class!!

“Students, settle down, we have a new student today. Please introduce yourself,” Ms. Choi said turning to Mia. She seemed nervous, so I gave her two thumbs up. She chuckled to herself and began to speak.

“Hello, everyone, my name is Mia Hall, and I hope you guys will treat me well,” Mia said and smiled. Everyone clapped for her and Ms. Choi began to talk.

“Okay, Mia you will sit down next to Minho. Minho, please raise your hand,” Ms. Choi said. Everyone looked over to Minho as he raised his hand and Mia hesitantly walked over to the vacant seat next to him.

Heheheh, Mia and Minho oppa sitting next to each other. PERFECT!

 

-Hours Later-

 

Mia’s POV

How am I supposed to pay attention in class when this guy is sitting next to me? Do you know how hard it is not stare at him? VERY! But I know that he doesn’t like me. *sigh*

Once class was over, it was our break time. I had to use the bathroom, so I got up and walked out into the hallway. As I walked past people, they were staring at me and whispering to each other. Iris warned me about this, so I shrugged it off and continued to look for the bathroom.

“Hey girl. What’s your name?” A random guy asked me.

“Uh, Mia,” I replied and then he began to look at me, from top to bottom.

Is he checkin’ me out? Man this guy needs to hurry up because I have to use the bathroom.

Since he wasn’t saying anything, I turned around and began walking, until he pulled my hand back.

“I wasn’t done talking to you,” the guy angrily said.

“Well I was and I have to use the bathroom. Excuse me,” I said and yanked my hand away.

He pulled my hand back and said, “, I–“

Hold up! Did he just call me a ""?!

Suddenly, Minho came out of nowhere and punched the guy in his face. Minho groaned and shook his hand and turned around and smiled at me.

“Are you okay?”

Chapter 26: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
So I cried when she broke up with Onew, fell out of my chair when she lost her memories, cursed Jonghyun when I realized that maybe he was going to use that to his advantage (he didn't thank God), and cried again (out of happiness) when she got back together with Onew.

I ran an emotional marathon just now...

Chapter 7: So, Onew and Jonghyun, huh? I see where this is going, I think.

At this point, something I really like about the story is that I can actually picture myself as Iris, because we share the same skin color and would, effect have similar experiences in such a homogenous country. I am going to Japan in a month and a half and am definitely gearing up for some staring and questions. Maybe hopefully, I'll also have a love story...? Lol, probably not, but heres to hoping!

Chapter 3: Ok, girlfriend, let me tell you:

I love this fic already. I know I am only in the beginning of it, but I was looking for a good read that was also ambw. I am black and not that I don't love me some good ol fashioned korean on korean love, it's just that sometimes I need a change of pace.

This was just what I was looking for.

And even better, it's SHINee, the first K-pop group I ever loved with so much force I could stop Superman.

To make a long story short: Thanks for writing this story! I'm off to continue reading (I am one of those readers that will spam you with comments every chapter even if the story is completed. You have been warned.).
