What Do You See?

Description

What do you see when you see them on TV?
5 young boys who turned to men in 3 years?
Do you see their smiles, their enthusiasm, their love?
Do you see the effort, the hard work, the sweat that goes into every move?

But you don't see what happens behind the camera.
You don't see with every sweat, there are tears.
You don't see that beneath the 5 young men, were 5 young boys.
You don't see that beneath their smiles, there were frowns, beneath their enthusiasm, there were trials, beneath their love, there was pain.

My name is Yoo Yoonduk. I am SHINee's Manager. And you don't see what I see.

Foreword

"If nobody tells me I'm doing well, I tell myself I am"  Lee Jinki

"Everything you see on TV is a lie" - Kim Jonghyun

"I'm Key, because I solve all the problems for the group" - Kim Kibum

"I don't hate losing, I just get irritated for not winning." - Choi Minho

"Since I'm the maknae, the hyungs take care of me" - Lee Taemin

What do you see through the camera? Do you believe everything you see?

Are you ready to see what I see?

 

 

A/N: A slightly more angsty/sadder story involving the boys, on the negative side of being in the spotlight.

A short story approximately 5-6 chapters long.

Enjoy!

Chapter 8: I got a little confused at first but that was because I forgot to read the first chapter, descprictionand the foreword. Otherwise, I loved it! Somehow it managed to make me cry. All the lovely members or SHINee, all with their inner turmoils, with their insecurities. Well done.
You write soooooo well.
I love your writing style.
Hope you write many more!
Fighting!

Chapter 6: Wow! This is probably the closest to reality I've read here on AFF. It's very heartwarming because it feels like it's not far from the truth.
I love how you matched the personas SM has made for them to who they could really be offcam. Kudos! :)

I read 'What Do You See?' And I had to leave a comment/rant, because you see, your story... it broke my heart.
Everything was so well written and this is the type of story I just LOVE to read.
it reminds me of movies like 'Hugo' and 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' and I just fell in love with how everything was portrayed. How everything comes together and it hurts me to know that we're the cause of their pain whenever some scandal comes out- we believe too fast and get angry too fast.
What inspired you to write such a story?
