Title:
One thing about the title that you have chosen is that it never gets old. Sure, it has definitely been used more than once, but it is an intriguing start! Not to mention that from what we have read, it relates nicely to your story.
Foreword/Description:
Your description was cluttered and certain parts don’t really make sense. You may want to take a look at it again and make some changes. And the author’s note should be at the bottom of the paragraph instead.
As for your foreword, we feel that it is too long. Your foreword should be short since it is supposed to be a short beginning to your story. You do not have to leave a big space between paragraphs since too much space may seem to be confusing.
Plot:
Since you only have two chapters up, we can’t really review on this part. But from what we have read, it was interesting so far. Perhaps, you can add more interesting elements in? Since everything just seems to focus on Yoona and the concert.
Grammar/Spelling/Punctuation:

(Sentence Structure)

" Be it significant or not, missing this would be just wrong!"
" Besides Yoona and her friend and SHINee. I managed to overhear their conversation and just like I guessed, they came here early. "
" But since the day I left, I was sure that Yoona loves me. And now it's my goal to get her."
(We don't get what all these sentences mean, maybe you can try rephrasing it?)
" As people were leaving, I was about to put the power back on, but I decided against it. It won't matter..."
" I was about to put the power back on as people were leaving but I decided against it since it won't matter anyway."
Basically, these are some of the mistakes that we have spotted. Do make the changes as well as double check your tenses and punctuation before you decided to upload a new chapter.
Character Development:
It is still very vague at this point, we want to know how Taemin will affect the story other than being part of Shinee. And you can reveal more about Jiyoung instead of him only obessing over Yoona. But we understand that you can't do much within just 2 chapters.
Flow:
First chapter was kind of slow but we get how you are trying to pace your story for the next chapter, however, too many things are happening in the second chapter.
Ending:
Since you didn't finish the story yet, we can't really give you a review for your ending. So do not hesitate to come to us once you completed your ending.
Additional Comment:
Repetitive Usage of the following words: Shout, Pouted.
Anyway, we had fun reading your story so we hope that you can learn something form our review :) Do comment below after you read through your review and tell us what you think :)
