I realized that my perfectionist side kept preventing me from updating. When I think about it, it’s my enjoyment that’s more important. So... I hope this imperfect story is good enough. Thank you for your support, your comments are my source of strength so please comment a lot! Hehe ^^

New characters added as Taemin’s close friends, it might be boring but I make his padding squad as his friends haha: Kim Jongin (Kai of EXO), Kim Wonsik (Ravi of VIXX), Kim Moonkyu (Timoteo of HOTSHOT), and Park Jimin (BTS) for the time being. Yes I will use their real names.

Alsoo Naeun’s friends (fellow freshmen of Art Major). TMI, they’re considered as K-pop idols who are also gifted artists ^^ (according to an article from sbs.au). They're Kang Seulgi (Red Velvey) and Bae Suji (Suzy). 

ENJOY!

“Yo, Taem!”

Cheers welcomed Taemin as he entered Practice Room 5 of Dance Major that evening. The latter responded with a little smile before his friends attacked him with questions,

“Ya! How was it?”

“What did you do?”

“Did you have fun??”

“How was she??”

It only made his smile grew wider. “Ya! Lee Taemin answer us!”

Taemin laughed, “relax, men! We didn’t do much,” as his friends focused on him he continued, “my agenda today was only making her comfortable with my presence.”

“ooooo~ Lee Taemin, you and your strategy~~” teased Jongin, “such a player!”

“What? I’m not!!” Taemin immediately countered as the rest were laughing.

“You know he is not, Jongin. I’d call that genius intead.” Wonsik calmly said.

“Didn’t he use the same strategy to us?” Moonkyu chimed in, turning Taemin and Jongin’s head to him.

“You are right. Come to think of it, without me knowing it was already comfortable hanging out with Taemin hyung,” Jimin said grinning, not realizing everyone’s changes in expression.

“You’re saying we were in the same position with this girl? Like, I was a victim of player Taemin’s strategy?? Ugh! Disgusting!” Jongin screamed, distanced himself from the others as if he’d get infected by diseases.

“I got goosebumps!” Moonkyu joined Jongin, and soon the room was filled with laughter.

Of course they didn’t let Taemin go easily. Later they ordered food and now were having dinner together in the practice room, while cornering Taemin to tell them about his meeting with a girl called Son Naeun.

“She’s literally a goddess. Pretty, well-mannered, and... cute,” Taemin said as coolly as he could, keeping his pride in front of his buddies. But who’s he trying to fool?

“Yayayaa, look at your red cheeks! It went so high I thought it would fly away!”

“You should practice more to hide that jester smile!”

They laughed loudly at Taemin who’s now facepalming. He shouldn’t have tried!

Seeing the latter could only hide his face, Jongin exclaimed, “Hoo seems like it is for real?”

“Are you really falling for her, Taem?” Wonsik asked in a more serious tone.

“Jinjja??” Moonkyu joined.

“~~~ I don’t know! I don’t know, okay? I’m taking this very slowly, I don’t want to rush anything. So stop pestering me!”

“It means you’re serious, Taem.” Wonsik smiled.

“I wish she’s the one you’ve been looking for.” Moonkyu said, Taemin smiled at his sincerity.

“Good luck, man!” Jongin smiled cheekily while hitting Taemin’s shoulder.

He’s lucky to have them.

“Sonna!”

That nickname turned her head to the speaker, she smiled immediately as she recognized the familiar face,

“Seulgi-ya.”

Seulgi was a fellow Art Major freshman whom Naeun got close with since they sat beside each other during a class. They clicked in many things so they stayed together a lot. Seulgi even made the nickname “Sonna” which abbreviates “Son Naeun”.

Seulgi catched Naeun’s arm, “Sonna, let’s go watch the Dance Major Showcase!”

“What showcase?” asked Naeun in confusion.

“It’s a monthly event held by the Dance Major to showcase
