FIVE.

Found love in a .jpeg file

It was already 8:13, the sun was shining, the birds are singing, the weather is nice.. etc.. In short, it was a beautiful morning. A precious day for a jog, a walk in the park, or something but Myungsoo was still sleeping, tired from yesterday's practice.

     Surely anyone who has spent 18 whole hours practicing would have aches all over their body but he's immune to the pain already. Actually, All of them were immune to it.

     Why? 'cause they've spent everyday for the whole two years of training practicing and preparing for debut.

     Aside that fact, The INFINITE members all knew what is in it for them if they were to be succesful. Pride for their family, and their country. 

     Myungsoo opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, but closing it again because of fatigue and hid himself under his blanket.

     Everyone's already awake and ready to start a new morning except for him who's too lazy to rise up.

     He lied in his bed fitfully, turning from one side to another, finding the most comfortable way to sleep again.

 

     But he failed.

     He sat up, remembering that there's practice at 2 pm until midnight and he doesn't even have a clue how to solve his iPhone problem for he barely knows what cause it.

     He grabbed his phone from under his pillow and checked his contacts.

     O?, he thought, eyes wide open now, Thank God the contact stopped increasing, he sighed.

     He stretched before climbing down his top bunk bed and then stretched some more.

     "O?Good morning, Soo," Dongwoo greeted as he was lying down his own bed, playing a game from his PSP.

     "Good morning, Hyung" he greeted back.

     Myungsoo fixed himself Ramen as breakfast and did his daily routine. (Took a bath + brushed his teeth & everything.)

     He played games from his iPad and decided to download a facebook app there too.

     Myungsoo was lying on his stomach on his top bunk bed alone, playing games when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

     *knock knock*

     "It's open" Myungsoo said, his face glued on his iPad screen.

      Sungjong opened the door and entered the room.

     "Good Morning, Hyung!" Sungjong said cheerfully. "Just woke up?"

     Myungsoo shrugged

     "I don't know" Myungsoo answered halfheartedly, not really listening to Sungjong.

     "Huh?" Sungjong asked, confused.

     "Hyung? You wanna go outside and smell the fresh air?" Sungjong asked.

     "I don't know" Myungsoo automatically said.

     Sungjong doesn't like being ignored that way so he climbed sneakily towards Myungsoo's bed.

     "YAAAAA! HYUNGGGGGGGG! " He shouted directly to Myungsoo's right ear.

     Myungsoo was startled that he almost dropped his iPad.

     "Ya! What was that for?" Myungsoo asked, now looking at Sungjong.

    "Ah.. Hyungnim.. Let's go outside!" Sungjong offered scared at first, but still smiling.

     "Aniya~ We have practice later!" Myungsoo shook his head.

     "What a waste of a beautiful day!" Sungjong said

     He put his hand on Myungsoo's back, Gesturing at the wind."Look outside! smell the fresh air! Take pretty pictures!"

     Myungsoo thought for a moment.

     "Please?" Sungjong pouted.

     Myungsoo looked at him, and thought about it seriously.

     To escape from the house for four hours or spend those four hours playing games? He thought.

     He looked at Sungjong again, his face still pouting.

     "Okay, Okay" Myungsoo agreed.

     "Yaay!" Sungjong cheered, jumping from Myungsoo's bed ladder to the floor. 

     Myungsoo merely smiled and jumped from his bed.

     "Wait for me outside my room, I'll just get ready," He told Sungjong and Sungjong exited his room.     

    He gathered his things: His white olympus camera (To take 'pretty' photos), his iPad (incase he gets bored), His iPhone, and practice clothes (just incase), and put it on his sling bag.

     He wore his pants, a black hoodie, and a wifebeater underneath it. (Taking him 5 minutes to do all these)

     He also took the sunglasses from the cabinet and wore it, too.

     "Let's go!" Sungjong said and they sneakily exited the dorm.

 

 

 

 

 

You stayed up all night, writing her confrontation speech.

     She's confronted roleplayers before, but she's not really a warfreak.

    She just says the things she wants to tell, like "Don't make Myungsoo oppa look bad" or something like that. Of course she doesn't want to INFINITE to lose a fan just because she confronted him/her. She just wants to protect Myungsoo and other INFINITE member's image.

    You thought of a way all night to emphasize her intention yet be nice at the same time.

    She ate her breakfast and did her usual morning routine.

      " You -ah" Her mother called.

     "Yes, Ma?" She said as she was brushing her teeth.

     "Your sister & I are going shopping, wanna come?" she asked.

     "No thanks, Ma" She struggingly said with her 'brushing teeth tone'. She spitted to the drain "I'll just guard the house with Papa" 

     "Okay, if that's what you want" her mother said.

     She went back to her room and opened her laptop, fangirled like she does every as she waits for 'Kim Myeongsu' to go online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Myungsoo and Sungjong took a bus.

     "Ya! Jong ah! Where are you taking me?" Myungsoo asked for the first time.

     They're inside the bus and Sungjong was babbling about how wonderful the weather was and Myungsoo's just playing games on his iPad all day.

    "SBS studio" Sungjong answered.

    "Huh? Why?" Myungsoo asked.

     "My noonas told me to come visit them at the backstage and they told me to bring someone" Sungjong answered.

    Noonas? That's right, Sungjong knows many (idol) noonas but they're only friends. He took Myungsoo because he's the only one that's "not busy"

    The bus stopped and they went out, walking to the SBS studio.

    They went to the backstage and bowed to/greeted the sunbaes and hoobaes along the way. 

    Sungjong greeted and cheered his friends while Myungsoo just stood there, occasionally smiling politely, shy around the girls.

    They looked at the names of each waiting room and knocked at almost every door.

    Myungsoo went and saw that FT Island's on the waiting room across the one's they were in so he excused himself and knocked on the door.

    *Knock knock*

     He slowly opened the door.

     "Hello" he bowed to the members of FT Island.

    "Oh, Myungsoo Hyung!" Minhwan exclaimed and went to Myungsoo.

    "Hello L!" The rest of the FT Island members greeted.

    "Minari shii!" Myungsoo said, smiling.

    "Why are you here?" Minhwan asked.

    Myungsoo pointed to the waiting room across , the door ajar and Minhwan saw who's inside.

    Myungsoo sigh. "So, Long time no see, what have you been up to?"

    "We're performing later on." Minhwan smiled. "Goodbye stage"

    "Oh~ Goodluck!" Myungsoo said, looking at the other members,too.

    "Thanks!" Minhwan said. "Why don't you have a seat as you wait for Sungjong to catch up on his gossips?"

    "Good plan," Myungsoo said, smiling to Minhwan.

    Myungsoo sat and played Ubeat in their own iPads.

    They focused on their game and played competitively against each other (hahaha. boys)

    When they were exhausted after playing for the nth time, Myungsoo asked.

    "Minari, do you have a facebook?" 

    "Hmm. Yeah" Minhwan nodded.

    "Ah.."Myungsoo said "Do you know what's the cause of this?" he said, shoving his iPhone contacts to his friend's face.

    "Huh? Why are you showing your contacts to me?" Minhwan asked and grabbed the phone from Myungsoo, scrolling up & down.

    "Why are your contacts all you?" Minhwan asked, surprised.

    "I downloaded the facebook app and THAT happened" he said.

    Minhwan laughed.

    "Hyung! Don't you know that facebook automatically saves your facebook friend's contact numbers?" Minhwan said, amused of how many 'Kim Myungsoo' there is on Myungsoo's phone.

    Myungsoo stared blankly at the wall across.

    "Huh?" he said "I thought it was a virus or something"

    "Silly Hyung!" Minhwan said, still amused of Myungsoo's reaction "You can just delete it and all"

    FT island's manager suddenly interrupted with a '5 minutes!' look, gesturing his hand to his wrist.

    "I got to go now, Hyung!" Minhwan said, smiling.

    "We're about to perform, If you want, you can just sit there but I won't be surprised if you'll already leave."

    "Okay, Thank you for your help" Myungsoo said,smiling gratefully, thinking to whether he should go too or not. 

    The rest of the FT Island members filed out the waiting room and he bid them all Goodluck.

    Myungsoo sat at the couch of FT Island's waiting room, deleting some of his contacts.

    I thought my iPhone's broken, he thought as he clicked the contacts he doesn't know and deleted them.

   Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.

    Sungjong entered the room, panicking.

    "Myungsoo hyung! we have to go back to the dorm before 1:30!" Sungjong shouted. 

    "It's only 12:30!" Myungsoo said as he was still deleting some contacts.

    "I know, but Sunggyu hyung called.. shouting at me!! and you know it's quite traffic!" Sungjong said.

   " Ara, ara!" Myungsoo said, standing up but then Sungjong grabbed him forcibly.

   "Let's run!" Sungjong said and Myungsoo carelessly shoved his cellphone back to his sling bag.

   And so both of them ran as fast as they could, they don't want to be nagged by Sunggyu again and again, and face his little flaring eyes.

   They hurriedly went to ride a bus without the both of them knowing that Myungsoo's sensitive iPhone screen accidentally dialled an unknown number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You    was listening to INFINITE'S second mini album: evolution as she was reblogging photos of INFINITE & constantly checking her facebook account to whether 'Kim Myeongsu' is online.

     She sat at her desk chair, and sang with the music.

    "BEFORE THE DAWN~~~ BEFORE THE DAAAAAWN! NANSJWLKDJQLJ FLKE~~" She sang, enthusiastically imitating the steps, though not really 'dancing'

    INFINITE's song was all-over her room when she heard her phone ringing.

    INFINITE'S morning call

    Maybe it's just mama, asking me what I want, She thought but still she grabbed her phone from her bed.

    She looked at the screen and saw an unknown number.

   "Bo? I wonder who it is" she mumbled to herself and answered the phonecall.

   "Hello?" She said through the receiver "Who is this?" 

   Instead of an introduction, she just heard a somewhat feminine voice , and she can't even comprehend what he/she is saying.

   "Hello?" she tried again. "Who are you?"

    Still, no answer, but the voice still continued to talk and talk.

    She checked the number again, surprised that it's digit formation are not like in her country.

    Hey wait a minute, the last time I received a call like this was from Kwak kwak (Her nickname for Aron), she thought.

    "Hello?" She tried again.

    With no response, she just hung up the phone, thinking it was his ex suitor who's called her to flaunt the fact that he's already with another girl.

    Talk about someone ruining my day, she murmured.

 

Hi everyone! I know, this is kind of a late update but I just typed my father's paperworks and all that shizz.
I heard Woohyun's sick, so let's pray for him,Okay? (He'll be somehow appearing in this fic later on :) )
Thank you for your kind comments and those who are subscribing *throw hearts like our greasy tree*
If you're wondering why Myungsoo's not that really cold or something it's because I don't think he really is. Myungsoo, in my mind is one of the derpiest dork ever and I liek him too much. xD
Anyway, Infinite's comeback is really fast approaching. It's on May 15!! WAAA! Everyone, let's ready our screams and chants & shout on top of our lungs 'INFINITE HWAITING' xD

Facts:

  • Myungsoo's secret dream is to be a photographer.
  • Myungsoo owns an iPhone 3, iPad & a white olympus camera (Techie Soo)
  • Myungsoo is friends with FT island's Minhwan (One of my OTPs! Okay, I practically ship Soo with everybody xD)

Since he had experience being in Japan for his filming schedule of a Japanese drama, Myungsoo is better at speaking and understanding Japanese than his fellow group members. It seems like another unsuccessful attempt for her to get her message across to this so-called roleplayer of Myungsoo. Words have no emotional content to them when they're not spoken. That explains why he doesn't seem to be affected by them from reading it. Since his English isn't very fluent here, that excuses him for being unable to completely understand what she messaged him. He is being genuine by not acting friendly when he really isn't being that way. This is proving to be a real challenge to go up against someone who is not fluent in English.

The only Japanese that I know are from watching anime (with English subtitles) and reading manga. I just don't know how to read kanji since I've never learned it.

Maybe she's so eager to go home right away to check her Facebook feed. It is weird to see Myungsoo "obsessing" (according to Hoya) over udon. If I have to continue eating the same thing over and over again, I'd grow tired of it easily and not want to eat it for a while. The other food that he's addicted to is kimchi. He does carry a small amount of it in his personal carrier bag wherever he goes. It's obvious that Sungyeol doesn't want Myungsoo to get the sheets dirty. They practically share the bed while rooming with each other. Sungyeol's definitely "married" to a Taeyeon roleplayer of Facebook. Since there's no chance of that happening in real life, he could have that fulfilled in his own dream world. That makes him no different from typical guys that daydream about their ideal girls. That status change shouldn't be a big deal since it's no secret that he has a big crush on Taeyeon. Sungyeol does have a thing for younger girls. Although she is older than him, Taeyeon does have a youthful appeal about her that makes her seem young for her age.

Yes, it does look like you're stalling for time here. This is slowly building up to the point where she'd get to meet with Myungsoo face-to-face. I don't know what "PBB Teens" is about since I've never heard of it.

Maybe it's fate reaching out to her feelings by randomly playing those sad songs. It might be a way of getting her to re4alize what she's feeling deep down.

Girls with long hair must look more appealing/attractive to him than those with short hair. Everybody has their own preferences. In reality, it's really the heart that matters when it comes to love.

It's true that there's no perfection in anything in life. There's always the good and the bad. Life is full of obstacles.

Advancing to second place on the honor roll is a great leap toward improvement. All that studying and hard work must've paid off for her.

It seems that Sungyeol still hasn't learned his lessons about drinking coffee before going to sleep. He really is naive to not be completely aware of it. Myungsoo seems more like the hyung than he is in their relationship because of his maturity level. He actually is a deep sleeper in real life. I read from somewhere about Myungsoo revealing that he and his fellow group members take about ten minutes each to shower. Though, I don't know about him taking a little longer than that. Since he does tend to drift off into his own world when he's having some quiet time to himself, he's bound to not be conscious of the time slipping by.

This time, you're revealing facts about Myungsoo in the story rather than in author's notes.
