Description

I started this story as part of the Summer of SHINee fic fest, but unfortunately dropped out because I'm too slow to reach the deadline. I intended to finish the story.
I received the following prompt:

Prompt #: 100

Pairing: Key/Minho

Rating: Author's Choice

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life, Humor

Tropes: High School AU

Trigger Warnings: N/A

Prompt Summary: 10 Things I Hate About You AU.

Jonghyun is not allowed to date, unless his shrew of a brother, Kibum, starts dating too. He tries setting Kibum up with popular jock Minho, hoping this will alleviate the problem. Easier said than done.

Required Content: Trans/nonbinary/genderswapped SHINee are welcome if the author wishes!

Absolute No’s: Sad Ending

I've decided to do genderswapping with Kibum x Minjung and Jinki x Junghee.

Foreword

Characters:

Kim Junghee: 11-grade student. In love with love. She was rejected after confessing her feelings and has since been chasing all the boys to make her crush jealous. She wants to ask her crush to be her date for the Sadie Hawkins dance, but can't date unless her older brother dates as well.

Kim Kibum: 12th-grade student. Junghee's older brother and Jinki's best friend. He refuses to date, largely because he doesn't want Junghee dating. He may have a secret crush.

Choi Minjung: 11th-grade student. Popular tomboy athlete. Collector of 99 Hyungs. Junghee's best friend. Because Minjung failed to confess to her secret crush, Junghee challenges Minjung to attend the Sadie Hawkins dance with Kibum as her date.

Lee Jinki: 12th-grade student. Kibum's best friend. Kibum signed Jinki and Junghee up to do a duet at the talent show. Kibum also picks Jinki to be Junghee's math tutor.

Lee Taemin: 10th-grade student. Jinki's mischievous younger brother. Kibum's dance partner for the talent show. Matchmaker of sorts.

Chapter 3: I really liked this chapter too ^^ That part about how Taemin could do no wrong in Jinki's eyes is so true XD
Rooting for Junghee and Minjung! Looking forward to see how their time alone with their respective crushes goes hehehe

I love that Kib called her out on asking him to the dance. That was so angsty! I love that you’re working SHINee elements into the story. They’re like Easter eggs, I love it. Jinki as a tutor yes I’m here for it!

Chapter 2: I really like this fic so far! I love how you've kept much of their personalities the same as their irl ones (I recognised a few of Jjong's quotes hehe ^^)
I love how the dialogue b/w the characters feels realistic too ^^ it feels like I'm watching a shoujo anime in my head, can't wait to see what happens next~ :)
