Sixty Minutes to Midnight

Description

The night before Chinese New Year is pretty much the perfect time to pull off a heist. Fireworks to drown out alarms, bored guards to slip right past, and throngs of people to blend right into...Onew couldn't have planned things better if he tried. He and his team are about to score their biggest payoff yet, right under the noses of millions of unsuspecting people. 

But Onew forgot one thing- Chinese New Year is a sacred night and the spirit of the Dragon is not happy that the last night of her year is being dishonored by a bunch of amateur thieves. Her ire is further aroused when she learns that the trinket they stole is something she's been searching for since the late 1800s. And she doesn't care about breaking tradition to punish them for this offense. But she has to do it fast, before her time is up. 

Onew is smart enough to know that his little stunt won't go unnoticed for long, and he's got plenty of tricks up his sleeves for dealing with the police. But when he finally comes face to face with his pursuer, he realizes he might have bitten off more than he can chew. 

Onew's team is running out of time, but so is the spirit of the Dragon. After all, there are just sixty minutes left until midnight. 

Foreword

This is my first attempt at writing romance, people, so it may take a while. Also, romance isn't going to be the focus of the fic, so sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting a love story. 

Many thanks to my unni and beta, nalaboja! I couldn't have done this without her! 

 

Update: Thanks so much to TheChickWithThePlan for making my poster AND background! Is she the best or what? Love you! <3

Chapter 7: I just love this amazing story...

Even tbh I couldnt really feel Onew's characters there, I don't know why but I felt his character didn't show much there, or maybe it just me :p

But still, this is amazing :') The story flowed so well, the way you told us about the whole things just really great. You made the readers understand what they didnt understand before (ex: chinese myth). I felt like watching a movie not reading a fanfiction... XD

OMG that was the best thing I've ever read I'm so sorry my comment is late but I read this on a mobile device and I couldn't comment properly by paragraphs and then check myself on a samsung tablet just no.

But this was the best thing ever I swear it was beautiful.

The way Onew and everyone was just described and how well-thought out the plot was had me gasping for air I swear I stayed up until 3:45am to finish this when i started at around 2am maybe.

I was like "HO " and practically screamed it out loud on the chapter where Minho disappeared I'm like HELL NO this is gonna happen to everyone else.

OMFG I THOUGHT TAEMIN WAS GOING TO GET EATEN ALIVE I SWEAR THAT WAS SCARY.

I know nothing about Chinese mythology so this was a big eye-opener for me like wow that was amazing how you incorporated that into the story I could never do this same thing, you're a genius. <3

I actually like the Dragon Lady (half?) OC character. I was kind of sad that her and Onew couldn't be together in the end but it's okay because he has his chicken like

omg I swear I don't ship Onchicken that is gross.

This was just...wow. I love this. I'm going to recommend it on my tumblr and it's going to be beautiful I swear I love you for writing this.

My favorite character was Onew because I can totally relate to his valiant remarks and loyalty towards friends because that's what SHINee is <3

A big brotherhood :)

I missed reading fics about my SHINee boys this is the first one I read in like...a year.

Gosh I pay too much attention to SJ LOL >_< Can't help the ELFish Donghae biased gurl omfg that's a different story though asdfhjkas;

Chapter 7: Wow, this was really good! You did a great job building tension then bringing everything to a close. I also liked your balance between serious themes and humor. Overall, great job; it didn't feel rushed at all. Happy new year! XD
