My Name Isn't Taemin

Description

As a freshman in high school in America, there's just so much stress pushed onto your back. Friends, relationships, drama, schoolwork, family; the list never ends. You've had it and can't take it anymore. You know you should be grateful for everything you've been given but you just wish for something more. 

 

And then there's Taemin. Dancing machine, mushroom maknae, pretty boy Lee Taemin. He's got the looks, the skills, the popularity, and the power, and he's all the way in Korea. Taemin just wants a break, time for himself and his family; wants to live an average life every once in a while. Taemin never dares to bring this up with the SHINee members, who knows what they might do to him. 

 

In certain turn of events, you find yourselves getting what you wished for. It seems alright at first. I mean, come on. You've always wanted to go to Korea and meet SHINee, right? 

 

All it takes is just one mysterious night and the wishes of two young teenagers wanting out of the lives they were given. 

Foreword

GAHHH!! Such a long description. Sorry.

At least Taemin doesn't have to deal with such emotional stress where he is now and only has to focus on the work that he has as an idol and facing the pressures of fame. He is homesick to miss being with his family, a sacrifice made for his personal life to fulfill his dreams. Having such a caring leader like Onew is good since he knows that he has someone that he could count on to be there for support. It's not right to say that one is better off than the other because both are at different points in their lives where they have things (hardships) on their own plates to handle. Both would get a surprise when they wake up to see that their lives have been altered. It sounds like an interesting adventure that they'd have ahead of them.

Her older brother is a grandeur idealist to think that he himself is so great while others around him think otherwise. It's the attitude that he has to dream about becoming something big. Jiho seems to be too into himself to be concerned about Serene. If he is concerned about her at all, he sure has a funny way of showing it--making a joke out of her drinking banana milk to make light of the situation. It looked like a failed attempt at cheering her up if that is what he's trying to do. That's a lot of pressure she's facing: getting dumped and being criticized by her father about her academic progress. By putting her down, he's making her feel that her efforts won't amount to anything. Everything that she does will never be good enough for him is the feeling she gets from his words to make her feel worst about herself. Words without encouragement or motivation behind them are meaningless. It really isn't helping her at all. He must be too intimidating to her mother and her brother that they don't dare to speak against him to come to her defense. When he spoke to her in that tone, he did sound insensitive for not being considerate of his daughter's emotions. When one's in emotional turnoil, it's hard for him/her to fare well at things or have a good focus on something. It must be hard on Serene to not have anybody that she can lean on to share her troubles. She's got a point about having a long way to go in her high school education before enrolling into a university of her choice, which her father is exaggerating (pushing her to give it her 100%).

Time flies. Things seem to go by quickly when you get older. It's different when you're young where it feels that time is going slowly for you. Taemin has been showing a manly image lately because of his maturity.

That "something big" must be the body switching that's about to take place.

The love of banana milk is something that Serene and Taemin have in common. This is what I can see connecting the two together. Somehow, I get the feeling that it would play an important role later in the story. Since they're young, they still have much to learn about life. There are some things that they have yet to comprehend since their maturity levels aren't up to an adult's. It's something that everybody goes through while growing up--finding their way through confusion and acquiring the skills/abilities to deal with different situations and face obstacles.

It's good to finally see an update for this fic. Experiencing writer's block from time to time is normal for authors.

Prologue is the proper term to refer to this beginning chapter. Even though it's not much, it's a start to get the reders into the story. Both long for something that's curently lacking in their lives. When the two swap lives and experience it in each other's bodies, they would find that it's not as it's cracked up to be. No matter where one is at in life, there's bound to be some rough spots on the path. This life-altering occurrence could be a good learning experience for them. Banana milk seems to have a connection here.
