“Ahjussi ~ MNet studio please.” She said as she called for a taxi cab. Her class finished at exactly 3 pm, and now she’s on her way to see Taemin’s debut stage as a solo artist.

As she was sitting inside the cab, her phone rang. It was a long distance phone call from her foreign uncle, Uncle Steve.

“Gosh, Uncle, I missed you!” She shouted as soon as she answered the call. “Thank God you called!”

“You were not even contacting me these days, you little kid. You already forgot me because you have your sister there together with that guy.” He uttered as if he was throwing tantrums.

She giggled, “Of course not Uncle… I just don’t have enough to call you on a long distance.”

“About that… I learned your bills were not moving. Wait, did you lose your cards or something?”

That’s when Juliette started telling Uncle Steve her latest state. He immediately expressed surprise after hearing her. “Living in?!”

“No, uncle! It’s not that!” She defended and explained further.

“That’s the same, you girl, what are you doing?! I’ll tell this to your mom!” He shouted over the phone.

“Hey, uncle, don’t tell this to mom. I bet she’ll rush here to see me and take me away from here. Didn’t I tell you how much I want to see him?? Please, uncle, I trust you on this one.” She begged.

“Okay… Okay… but Julie… you have to be cautious okay??” He said in his serious American accent. “I don’t want to be a grandfather. I’m not ready.”

“I know that uncle. I know how to take care of myself.” She smiled but blushed a little. Thinking about “that” makes her cringe.

**** **** ****

“She’s here.” Taemin’s manager whispered while he was having his mic fixed on him. There was an obvious smile but he tried hard to contain it because a lot of staff was inside attending to him.

He can see on the side of his eye that Juliette occupied a seat close to the door. She silently watched as everybody were busy taking care of everything that he will be needing once he reaches the stage to perform.

Taemin just finished the final rehearsal and he will be called few minutes from now for the actual recording. He looked at Juliette and she waved awkwardly at him.

“I thought you’re not coming.” He said while a noona puts final touch up on his face.

“I don’t want to be punished later tonight as how you told me earlier.” She said it too loud which made the whole crowd inside the room stop for a while and looked at Taemin.

He felt her cheeks suddenly burning as everybody’s eyes went straight to him, “N-noona…” He called out the noona who stopped putting foundation on his face. She blinked a couple of times and continued what she was doing.

Taemin saw his manager smirked playfully and the others were whispering as they smiled and grinned sheepishly.

“Isn’t she Minho’s wife’s sister?” One of the staff whispered.

“I think so.” The other answered.

“So it was true that Minho’s sister-in-law is living with Taemin now.” She replied. “I wonder why it never gets into the news.”

“It was supposed to be the biggest news of the year but SM successfully blocked it away. After few weeks of working hard to settle the scandal, fans started to get sick of spreading this issue and it eventually became normal for fans to say that Taemin is in a relationship with her in real life. They’re just waiting for the wedding announcement and that will sure stir the controversy again.” She said.

“I admire SM when it comes to these things. They can protect their artist by all means.”

A staff then entered the room and announced that he will be put on standby so he has to go to the stage now.

Taemin walked over and simply dragged Juliette’s hand. She automatically stood up and walked side by side with Taemin, who was wearing a white dazzling suit.

“Watch from here.” He said and left Juliette on the backstage. Taemin coolly walked on the stage and then she heard the fangirls’ screaming. He bowed to all of them and then sat next to a piano. Juliette can clearly see him from where she was standing.

Cue!

Taemin started playing the piano and the fangirls were all dozed off, including her of course.
