About 14 hours ago…

September 23, the day of his birthday, my boyfriend’s birthday. I was so excited that today was the day. I’ve been saving up to buy him a book he wanted about clothing design. I just know he’ll be thrilled to the fact that I bought it. 6.00am, the clock read. I knew it was time to go to the mall as the malls in Seoul were always crowded with people, even that early in the morning. I quickly took a shower and changed into a knee length blue dress. I also wore blue flats with flowers on the top. I really like these shoes, Key gave them to me for my 16^th birthday with a letter that said “Happy Sweet 16^th birthday, princess”. Key is can be so sweet sometimes even though he constantly becomes naggy… but that’s what I love about him the most. Even though he was busy after his debut, he would always find some form of time for me.

When I was finished changing, I first decided to check if I had everything in my blue bag. Wallet, phone, money, keys and me and Key on our first date, check. Key and I have been dating ever since I was 15 and he was 16 (in Korean Age). Of course, I still remembered how we met.

He was surrounded by fan girls as I recalled. It was about a year ever since he debuted I wasn't really into him. Of course, when our eyes met for the first time, it felt like no one was there. For a moment, I thought it was only the two of us until he stopped looking and loads of fan girls were staring at me with “What are you looking at?” glares. I just blushed and walked away.

Memories… I guess that’s how random it was. I went out the door and locked it and ran to the car. I closed the door and quickly the engine and zoomed out the parking area. 6.30am the clock on the radio read. I sighed, thinking about the fact that I’m gonna surprise him with his present. Will he accept it? Will he even like it? All of these thoughts swirled in my head like a hurricane.

Then, the light was red so I hit the brakes real hard and hear someone hit the honk in their car. I just sighed, I should be concentrating on the road, and I could kill someone you know.

Then, there was a green light so I stepped on the acceleration and zoomed away. I’m not surprised I didn’t get caught by the police. They know I at driving and besides I barely drive. Only on special occasions like today. When I got to the COEX shopping mall, I went to the parking lot and quickly parked my car (even though I parked it really slanted) and ran to the shopping mall quickly, with everything close to me. I knew I had to be careful just in case someone so the photo of me and Key. No one knows the relationship of me and Key. We’ve managed to keep it a secret for a pretty long time, even though it was hard to date, we’ve managed.

When I got in, I quickly looked for a bookstore and found one. I quickly went in and looked for a design book. “Cooking, Culinary… Aha! Design, I found you!” I said “Design for the Inspired! Even more perfect! He’s always inspired!” Quickly taking the book and heading for the counter I saw him…

My stalker…

He’s been stalking me ever since I turned 18. It’s been over a year now and it kind of gives me the creeps. I bet you he knows about my relationship with Key but why doesn’t he tell anyone? Will he be a pedo forever? Anyway, I don’t mind ‘because he hasn’t done anything but I have a feeling he will soon.

When it was my turn at the counter, the lady at the counter said “That’s 23,685.60 won, Miss ($20 AUD)” Quickly paying the counter the money and taking the book and ran out the door and ran like a mad person.

I was getting these strange looks but I didn’t care well because I always did. I’ve always been an outcast here in Gangnam-gu for some reason. It’s because I’m “different” from others. The way I acted, looked and even the way I think! But no, I didn’t care and I just kept running. I actually thought one time to tell the world that I’m Key’s girlfriend just to be looked at right but I knew I’d be using Key so, no.

When I got to my car, I noticed the window was smashed and my car was like in… how I call it… a mess. Then, on the chair inside I noticed a note, written in blood. “Be careful… Abigail, Key is MINE!” Next to it, I saw a picture… the picture of my picture of me and Key. “How… how… did some person get it?” I got down on my knees, my face in horror.

When I got to where SHINee’s dorm was I parked my car somewhere no knows about (Key showed me) and put my number plates in a secret door in the car. Key and I actually made it, never thought it would come in handy like this. 8.46 am

Anyway, quickly taking my bag (with the present in it), locking the car and putting put on a face mask (you know… stalker fans… of SHINee…) and zoomed to the SHINee dorm. I got to the 7^th floor (a floor for “special” people) and got to Door 276 which is next to SuJu’s dorms… So I rang on the doorbell and the first person I see is Jjong the Dino Man. He was wearing a black shirt that said “Who are you looking at?” and blue jeans. Jjong smiled and said “Oh hey Abby! It seems that you remember our dear Umma’s birthday! Right this way!” Jjong pointed to the inside the dorm. “Thanks” I say casually.

When I got in their dorm was the same as any other day I’ve visited. White… the dining area at the left side, the one room on the other and right at the end of the hall you see Taemin and Minho playing the XBOX 360. I swore I could see flames around Minho.

“Oh, Hey Minho, Hey Taemin” I waved at them but they weren’t looking. I just sighed then they said “Hey, Abby noona” they said in unison. “They’ve been at it for 45 minutes… very normal…” Jjong said and I looked back. “Yah… so competitive…” I sighed and then giggled a bit.

Jjong then said. “Key’s in the shower. He’s been ranting about how excited he was to get to see you so I suggested he should cool down and take a shower” I smiled. Was he that excited?

“Aww! I lost! So unfair oppa! Why do you always win?” Jjong and I looked back and saw Taemin pouting and Minho brightly smiling like he won the Gold Medal for the Olympics. “I just do”

“Wow… as childish as ever, you two!” I cheerily exclaimed. “So, anyway Abby noona, you came here because of Key’s 21^st (Korean) birthday right?” Minho asked, with a raised eyebrow.

“Of course! After all I am his girlfriend!” I exclaimed happily. Suddenly, out of the blue my phone rang. “Hello, Hello…” I blushed hard and quickly opened my phone.

All three of them started laughing. “Seriously Abby? You used our song as a ringtone?” asked Jjong. I glared at him. “Yes… Got a problem?”

Jjong, Taemin and Minho calmed down and Jjong said. “No it’s not that, it so weird! Anyway, why don’t you look at your text message?” I opened my phone to messages. An unknown number… “Key is MY boyfriend… You will NEVER take him” I tried to keep cool and my eyes only showed a tiny bit of fear. How does she know… my number?

“Abby noona, gwenchana?” Minho asked concern in his voice. Quickly closing my phone and putting it in my bag. “Ya, I’m fine, just an ad text about cars… so yeah…” Minho just sighed and said. “Well okay noona…”

After a minute of awkwardness, Onew came out yelling “Abby!” and started running to me but, as expected, tripped over. “Not again, Onew oppa…” I help him up and he smiles and hugs me and let’s go. “Your dress is so yeoppo! And you are beautiful too! You’re her to see Key… right?” He asked

I looked him in the eyes and because I did that, all of those bas thoughts washed away somehow. “Yup! I can’t wait for what we’re going to do today!” Today was a Friday so most people were at work and fan girls were at school. “That’s great! So did you get him a present?” Then, the other three looked at curiosity at us and then I said. “That’s a surprise for later!” Then they all looked disappointed and then Taemin said. “Abby noona! You know I hate waiting” then he pouted.

I walked up to him and scrunched up his hair and said “Even though you’re aegyo is well… aegyo… still no” I mehrong him and smirked. He pouted at me and mehrong at me. “Fine~” He exclaimed.

Just then, I felt someone pounce on me, well... causing me to collapse. “Abby~ I knew you wouldn’t forget!” I knew that voice anywhere. Key. Pushing him, greeting up and quickly helping him up, I sighed. “You know... you didn’t have to murder me...”

Key smirked and said “Well its fun~ any way you came so... where’s my present?” I smiled at him, “Well, I’m supposed to keep this a surprise from everyone.... so I’ll show it to you somewhere else...”

Jjong looked at me and exclaimed. “Why is it a secret from us?” I looked at him and said “Because I want Key to see it first~” I smiled and then dragged Key out of the room. Then I slammed the door shut.

As I was dragging Key to the car, I realized something. I realized that I could’ve murdered his arm right now. Then, I stopped and let go of his arm. I looked back at him and the first thing I saw were his deep coloured brown eyes.

I didn’t realize I was staring so long until I saw Key’s hand waving at me. “Hello? Earth to Abby…” I blinked and blushed a bit. “Sorry…. About murdering your arm…” I then realized that Key was wearing a Pink Baggy Shirt that said ‘Love <3’ and he was wearing pink skinny jeans. But, he looked pretty good in pink I would like to add. “Are you checking me out~” Key said with a smirk.

I looked at him and replied. “No, I was just admiring how interesting your fashion is!” I smiled at him and he smiled back. “Well, I’m happy you wore does flats I gave you~” He grinned.

When we got to the car, I let go of Key’s arm. “Ya! Abby what was that whole ‘murdering – my – arm’ thing you we’re just doing!? Is it good you treat someone on his birthday like this?” He wailed and pouted. “It was fun~ besides, we have to get in before we’re spotted or something. You’re driving by the way” I opened my bag, got the keys, and threw them at him, which of course he caught.

“Ok then, let’s go~” Key said with a smile. Key unlocked the doors and I quickly got on the passenger seat next to the driver seat while Key got on the driver’s seat. Closing our doors, locking our doors and Key starting the engine, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 9.30 am

Then we left the house. As soon as we left, Key the radio (typical) and the radio was playing “Fantastic Baby” by Big Bang. Without realizing, we started grooving to the music together. “Boom Shakalaka!!!” We sang at the same time, which was awesome. When the song finished, I exclaimed. “That was AWESOME!” Key smiled and said “Woo~”

“Anyway… you promised you’d give me my present!” Key exclaimed as he stopped the light because of a Red Light.  “Well… I’ll give it to you at 11.59 pm!” I mehrong him and he just pouted. “Fine, let’s just listen to another song!”

The song that was playing on the radio was “The Boys” by SNSD. “Oh! I like this song! Girls’ Generation make ‘em feel the heat!” I smiled as I sang along, then out of the blue; Key started doing the rapping bit. “Girls bring the boys out!” Then he started rapping the song. I couldn’t help fawn over his rapping skills. His rapping skills were just one word… flawless.  “Bring the boys out!” Key finished the rap. “So were you amazed by my rapping skills?” Key smirked and I blushed real hard. “Ya… I guess”

Then, it became so awkward for some reason, so we let the music play and kept quiet. 10.01 am. We were finally at the Lotte World amusement park. There were not much people so that was a good thing, but just to keep safe, Key wore a facial mask to hide his identity, but I’m pretty used to it. Key locked the car doors, tossed the car keys and exclaimed. “Let’s go!” “Yes, Almighty Key!” I said with a happy face. This time Key grabbed my arm and dragged me along. When we got to the ticket booth, Key let go of my arm and said. “Alright Abby, pay up!” I sighed “Alright, Kibum Oppa, geez…” I have to call Key “Kibum Oppa” so that way no one will know that he’s THE Key, you know. Quickly paying the cashier lady, we went inside and had some fun. “Wait, Kibum, let me buy some clothes to actually go on the rides and everything!” I exclaimed. Key sighed “Fine~ But make it quick!” He demanded. “Ok, ok geez Kibum!” “Ok then, I’ll wait here” He said.

I ran to the Souvenir Clothing Shop and started looking for some clothes, and shoes. “No, no, no, perfect!” I exclaimed. Just then a text message came. I opened my phone and saw a message, it said. “You better be prepared, Abby, because I will get Key in a way you’ll never guess…” I stopped breathing for a moment then realized nothing could happen. After all, this place had surveillance camera everywhere… right?

Anyway, quickly buying the clothes, I went to the changing room and changed clothes. I was now wearing blue and white sneakers, a pair of blue jeans and a blue baggy shirt that said “I love the colour blue!” I smiled at what I was wearing, got the bag with my clothes and ran out to where Key is. “10.15 am. 7 minutes, that was fast!” Key exclaimed. “Much faster than me” I giggled at his remark and said “Yah, and you take like I don’t know… 30 minutes” Key pouted. “I am a perfectionist after all!” and he did this ‘striking’ pose. I couldn’t help but laugh a bit more. “Okay, okay, let’s go ride some rides and buy some stuff!” I smiled and Key then started dragging me literally, EVERYWHERE.

First off, we went inside the building, where there were cinema areas (where we watch some show I don’t clearly remember), saw different foreign things, and Key bought us matching bracelets! The inside of the place was huge! There were so many places to go to I couldn’t even count it (because I’m not good at counting). For Lunch, we ate at a Japanese place. Key got a bowl of Udon and me; I got a Sushi Platter (yummy!). Key got water and I did too (cause I felt like it). While we were eating (Key took of his mask, obviously because no one was there), Key asked me something I thought he wouldn’t think about asking,

 “In all my years of knowing you, Abby, whenever something’s bugging you, I can always sense it so… what’s wrong?” Key asked with worried eyes. I looked at him blankly even though I have so much to say. Like the fact there’s this pedo guy who’s been stalking me and that someone’s sending me this horrifying text messages. “I’m just worried that I won’t be able to pay my car insurance… I’m still studying to be a teacher and that I don’t think my job as a relief teacher will do me any good.” I lied, without any hesitation going through. Key looked at me for minute and sighed “If that’s what you think, Abby then ok” He sighed and just kept on eating. 11.16 am

­­For the past, I don’t know... 7 hours (cause we’re weird people) we were singing, dancing, going on the rides (the rollercoaster was... scary, but when we were on, we were screaming while holding hand so, <3) Then after the rides, we both got ice-cream. Key got strawberry and I got chocolate. When we were finished were that, key played that bottle game where you had to throw a ball and knock them all down. He got it on the first try (which is something I couldn’t do) and gave me the prize... a big blue elephant. I took out a camera and took a photo of us with it. I put the photo when Key said. “But I want to keep it!” He pouted. “I’ll give it to you later, no worries.” And then once again, we started running around like crazy people. For some reason, no one recognized Key at all, because he forgot to put on his mask. 6.28 pm.

“Wow, the place is so cool when it’s night time!” I smiled at Key as we were holding hands and looking at pretty glowing castles. “Yes Abby, it’s so.... pretty just like you” I couldn’t help but blush at his remark.

Just then, a text came. Fear ran through my body once again. “I have to check this message I have.” I looked at Key and he said. “It might be important so don’t let me stop you” I smiled at him and checked my message, and Key being nice to my privacy wasn’t looking. Quickly looking at the message, it said “Die Abby! He’s mine!” I just sighed and put my phone back in my bag.

“Just some ad message, anyway, let’s go eat dinner!” Key looked at me for a minute but then smiled. “I know! Let’s eat at a French Restaurant!” He smiled at me and started dragging me along “I know a great place to grab some French food!” I smiled at him and said. “Let’s go!”

When we got to some French Restaurant, a guy lead us to our seats, but that guy looked strangely familiar but I couldn’t put my finger on where I saw him before. When we were at our seats, he just left. Key pulled out a chair for me (how sweet!) and I sat on it. He pushed the chair and sat on the chair across the small table. Key picked up the menu and skimmed through it. I decided to also pick up the menu and look through it as well.  I looked at the menu with concentration.

Then some waiter came and asks “What would you two like?” I saw Key look at him and said. “I’ll have an onion soup with a glass of water, you Abby?” I thought for a moment and said “I’ll have an onion soup too and water” I said. “You’re order will arrive shortly” He said and left.

While we were waiting for our meal, Key started singing a song we made together 2 years ago. “Love is something that will never break...” Key smiled as he sang and I continued. “Even if you hurt others...” We smiled at each other and just kept singing ‘till the end of the song. “Oh~ Love~” We both sang at the same time. At the same time the same waiter came with the food. “You’re meal is here” He said in a monotone voice.

“Thanks” said Key “Alright, let’s eat~” He smiled and started eating and drinking the soup. I couldn’t help but stare for a bit but then started eating. We just ate in silence... When we were finished eating, we went to the counter and paid for it, and left, but I swore I felt like someone was watching me.

“Alright, the last things to do are going on the Ferris wheel and go to some balcony I hear about.” I told him. Then Key said “Alright then, what are we waiting for let’s go!” Key exclaimed and we ran off, holding hands.

When we got to the Ferris wheel, a guy brought us into a carriage on the Ferris wheel and it started spinning, slowly. Key and I were holding hand and looking at the scenery together. “Wow, all I see are pretty lights!” I exclaimed. I looked at Key, making him look at me too. “Yah... it’s very pretty, just like your eyes, they are pretty...” I blushed at his remark and without realizing, our face were close together. Key then got closer and closer until our lips met. It was a short yet passionate kiss then we let go. I saw Key blushing like crazy and I was probably too. At the same time, the ride was over and Key put on his face mask again (he just realized...). Quickly letting go of each other’s hands, we kept quiet because of an awkward atmosphere.

While we were walking, I got another text. I looked at Key who was busy looking at the scenery and smiled. I quickly got out my phone and looked at the text message. It said. “I will KILL you for holding MY Key’s hand!” I opened my eyes really wide, surprised that this person knew. I just sighed and put back my phone in my bag. “Are you okay Abby? Key asked. I looked at him. “Yah! I’m fine, anyway let’s just go to that balcony!” Key smiled and replied. “Okay! Let’s go” and so, once again I was dragged by Key the whole way there. 7.45pm.

When we got there, I was amazed at everything I was seeing. It was a cafe, filled with lights and you could see the balcony, it was pretty high up. “Alright, let’s go!” I smiled at him and ran up to the cafe, this time dragging Key along with me.

When we got there, there were these big double doors made of glass and I pushed them and said. “Wow! That’s so pretty! Look inside Kibum!” The inside was just normal yet elegant. No words to describe it, I guess.

Key smiled at me and said. “Wow... very pretty! C’mon let’s sit at our reserved table while were waiting to go up to the Balcony” You see, you have to actually book a time to go up there. I booked 8.30 – 9.30 pm. I looked at Key and then we both went to the cashier person. “Booking for two, Ms. Feliciano” I told the girl at the stand. Then a waiter came up to us and said, “Right this way, you two.” He said. Key and I smiled at each other and held hand walking there. “I hate wearing this mask” Key whispered to me. “Just bear with it for a little longer, until we get to the Balcony” I smiled at him and he said. “Okay, Abby”

When we got to the table, the guy said “Here you are” so Key put out my chair, I sat on it and he pushed it for me and he sat down on his chair.

“So what would you two like to order?” The waiter asked. “I would like to order Americano while he would like a Cappuccino” I said, knowing Key would like it. “Ok then” he said then left. 8.15pm

A few minutes later he came back and said. “Here your coffees” He said. I paid the guy the money and Key took off a bit of his face mask when he left and started sipping his coffee and I did too. I decided to check the time. 8.18 pm. Well, we still had a bit more time to spare. “So, Kibum, how’s your birthday so far?” I asked him which cause him to look at me and say. “It’s been the best, with you here” He said, with a happy tone. I blushed a bit and said. “I think that you yourself are something that was born with a purpose” I smiled at him. We just kept on drinking and looking at each other. 8.25pm

“Alright, let’s go Kibum” I told him as I stood up and he stood up too. Making sure I had everything, we went to the balcony, two floors away. 8.27pm

­­“I’m here on a job… to take away Key from you and hand him over to my employer, Annabelle.” Just then women with short blonde hair and pink lips came in. She was the one at the counter in the bookstore… I knew it “He’s mine Abby! Didn’t you understand the texts I gave you?!” She asked with a furious tone.

Key just looked at me blankly. “So all of those texts you got… were threats… why didn’t you tell me?” Key looked at me with sad eyes and I hated it. I looked at him sadly. “It was your birthday and…” Key looked furious and ran up to me and started shaking me like wild. “So what if it is my birthday today? I don’t care! I want to protect you and hope to keep you happy!” He stopped shaking me I looked at him sadly and we just looked at each other until we were interrupted.

“Get them!” Annabelle told the guy. “Yah, whatever….” He sighed and walked up to Key. “Get ready to get beat up to the pulp” He told him. I then showed fear in my eyes. “No, Key!” I told him. He smiled at me and said. “It’s okay, I’ll be alright, and you just stay there” Key told me with reassurance. “No… but… you… can’t” He just smiled and looked back at the enemy, and the fight began.

Only a few words could describe this battle… horrible, frightening and blood… everywhere… Key fell to the ground, somehow still conscious. His clothes were torn and ripped, blood here and there. I screamed…

“Key oppa!” I yelled and ran to his side and helped him onto the swing. “I’m – o – k – Ab - by” He said in between coughs. “Take her out and take Key” Annabelle told him. Just as he was coming closer, I gnarled at him. “Don’t come and closer” I yelled at him. “What are you gonna do about it, huh? You’re weak!” He said and ran to me.

“You’ve just underestimated me… Don’t ever underestimate me!!!” I yelled at him, running to him. The fight was pretty easy. I punched him, kicked him and pretty much did the basic stuff. I did taekwondo for about 10 years so it’s no surprise for me, but when I stopped I realized something… Was he still alive? I quickly ran to him and checked his pulse. Nothing, no pulse at all. “He’s dead…” I said, horrified.

“Freak!” Annabelle yelled and ran out. I looked at Key and he looked at him blankly and I went on my knees on the spot, I couldn’t cry, not anymore, I knew crying wouldn’t do me any good. I wanted to tell him that nothing bad happened but I knew he wouldn’t walk up to me because I murdered someone, a living person. But something that surprised me the most is that… using all his strength, and crawled up to me and held me tight. “Re-mem-ber tha-t so-ng th-at we wr-ote to-ge-ther? It’s a pro-mise” I looked up to him surprised and I looked into his eyes. “Really, Key, really?” I said and he smiled at me, causing me to smile to. “Yes… I promise, no matter what happens… we will stay close forever…” he told me and I said “I was gonna give you a book about designing for your birthday, so… Happy Birthday Key Oppa!” I told him, sounding pretty happy. “Yes… I Love You Abby” “I Love You Too, my naggy Key” We looked at each other, causing our faces to be close to each other and we had a passionate kiss.

I knew that after the kiss, everyone would find out I’m dating Key and there are people who would love and hate it. I know the path ahead will be extremely difficult but I knew even though, we promised we’d stay together, no matter what happens.

Sorry for errors >.<
