“Oh… oppa, daebak.” She said and clapped nonstop the moment Taemin stepped out of the stage. She cheered for Taemin like a real fangirl and even massaged his back as he walked back to the waiting area. “Oppa… you know what? I really want to hear that song live and I’m so happy I got to watch you now! Ow, really!! It’s awesome!! SHINee Maknae jjang!!!” She spazzed like how a usual fangirl would do, and Taemin was not expecting her to react that way.

Taemin stopped and looked at Juliette. They were now in the hallway all the way back to the waiting area. Juliette blinked a couple of times, smiled like a child, and gave 2 thumbs up on him. “It’s great. Congratulations.”

Taemin sighed and patted her head gently… “Do you recall what Key-hyung said at the start of that song?? In the original one.” He asked.

Juliette looked at him as if she’s wondering. “Yeah… Song for my Juliette, uh…” She sang to it happily.

Taemin replied with a serious gaze and he then shrugged his shoulder. Juliette frowned and Taemin knew she didn’t get what he was trying to say.

“I sang it for Juliette.” He uttered straightly. She stopped spazzing and blinked her eyes a couple of times. “One thing I don’t really like about you is you don’t know how to read between the lines. I brought you here not because I want you to watch. I brought you here because that was a performance for you.” He said and walked away.

“A performance for me?” She paused for a bit, gather all the air she can grasp, breathed heavily and followed Taemin to the waiting room. “Oppa… Are you telling me you like me?” She asked like a kid annoying his father. “Oppa… Oppa… Oppa…” She poked his arm as a noona removed the microphone set on his body. Taemin tried to ignore her but she kept on getting into his sight.

“Oppa… Answer me.” He said.

People, who are obviously a lot older than them, were laughing at how Juliette annoys him.

“Can you please sit down for a bit? Is it my fault that you’re so slow?” He said in an irritated voice and she quickly followed when she realized Taemin being a little annoyed already.

One coordi noona patted Juliette’s shoulder and smiled, “Let’s sit for a while, Juliette-ssi.” She asked.

They were packing up when the four members came. Onew, Jonghyun, Key, and Minho came together but they were late because Taemin already finished both performances.

“Oh. Our Juliette is here, too.” Key said as he saw Juliette sitting just beside Taemin who was busy checking on his bag. “How is it to hear a song dedicated to you live?” He joked.

Taemin and Juliette both looked at him defensively. “Oh I was just kidding.” He retreated. “Anyways… will Taemin treat us over?? It was a successful performance, Taeminah.”

“Hyung~” Taemin uttered in a low and weak voice. “I want to rest.” He said. “I’ve been practicing nonstop since yesterday and I still have schedules for tomorrow and the next day.” He whined.

“Our Taeminnie is working hard these days ~ Fine. Go home and have some rest now.” Onew hyung uttered. “How about you Juliette? Do you want to eat together? It will be hyung’s treat.” He smiled at the girl.

Juliette was about to say yes when Taemin immediately interrupted, “I think you have to go home with me… You’re tired from school, right?” He looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

“B… but…” Juliette swallowed a bit before continuing. “You won’t punish me tonight, right?”

“WHAT PUNISHMENT?!!” The four boys immediately went wild after hearing what Juliette said. It made Taemin blushed but he didn’t say anything at all. It will just make the four more intrigued about what she was saying.
