Chapter 9

Behind the Screens!

The rest of the SHINee members sat in the living room of their dorm. They displayed bored expressions, as they surfed through different channels. Finally, a preview of B.A.P's interview flashed onto the screen. The four rolled their eyes and sighed. They wished that they could be called up for interviews the way B.A.P. was. Key immediately noticed what broadcasting station B.A.P. was filming in. When he was certain where it was, he gasped. 

"Isn't that where Jonghyun is having his interview now?" Onew questioned. 

The four looked at each other, before springing out of their seats. They had an idea of having a little surprise visit for Jonghyun.
Afterall, they've been wanting to see how he was progressing with his work. They immediately called manager hyung for permission out of their dorm. 

"I wanna see the pretty noona Jonghyun hyung is partnered with!" Taemin gleefully announced. 

Minho smacked his head (out of love). 




                                                                                                           ☆  ☆  ☆

Jonghyun was amazed with all the goodies that were displayed on the snack table. He absolutely adored the fact that everything was free of charge, and that it was unlimited. There was about 5 minutes until part two of the interview, so he wasted no time to dig in and feast over the food.  

Gayun almost became a life-sized block of ice. She stopped breathing for more than a second, as her eyes locked with Himchan's. He had such mesmerizing eyes that had sent Gayun in a hypnotic trance. The corners of his eyes lifted as he brought himself to shine the brightest smile. He was a beautiful sight. Gayun snapped out of it when she saw that a loaf of bread was being waved in front of her. She blinked twice before bringing her self back to Earth. 

"Gayun-ssi?" 

My name exited out of those wondrous lips. 

"You seemed to have dropped this." He chuckled. 

Gayun finally realized that her "spot-on" identiy protector, had become spotted on the floor... where she had left it. Himchan must've thought of her as a lunatic who carried loaves of bread around randomly. She mentally face-palmed herself before smiling in response. 

"Oh, I was meaning to throw it away." Was what she could think of as an excuse. 

"Why waste such tasty food? Children who survive with a meal a day would be grateful if they could stock on these."

He brushed off the bread before breaking a piece of it off. He ate the bread joyfully, before offering her some. Gayun looked at him, feeling idiotic. She felt that he probably thought of her as a cold-hearted person who didn't think of the helpless people of the world. 

Why was she even caring about his impression of her?  

She took his offering and took a bite, just so he could see that she wasn't half bad. He smiled and extended his arm out for her to shake his hand. He smoothly introduced himself. 

"I'm B.A.P's, Kim Himchan." Before Gayun could take his hand, he had already beat her to it. 

His hands felt so soft. It was as if it was enitrely made out the same skin of a baby's bottom. Gayun hadn't let go, and Himchan had caught her action. He let her be, amused with her lack of realization. When she finally did come to her senses, she broke their contact and wiped her hand on the back of her attire. He chuckled. He had already seen such a cute side of Gayun.

"Three minutes until shooting!" One of the staffs announed.

Gayun looked back and nodded.

"Oh, you're filming right now?"  Himchan asked. 

Gayun nodded. She was at a loss of words speaking to him. He reminded her of him so much. It was creepy. 
Though, she wasn't feeling saddened or hurt with his presence. She was actually feeling uplifted? 

"I'm filming with my members, after you. What are you filming for?" 

Suddenly an arm wrapped around Gayun's shoulders. Gayun's eyes darted to the arm and she wasted no time to twist it. She had a self-defense built in her at situations like so. She held the owner's arm in an awkward, hurtful position. 

"AH! GAYUN-SSI. IT'S ME!" Jonghyun helplessly cried with a piece of watermelon in his mouth. 

Annoyed, Gayun threw his arm back to place. She faced Himchan again. 

"Ah, B.A.P. member. I wish you luck for whatever you're filming then." Gayun bowed. 

Himchan didn't know whether to be shocked with what just happened, or how Gayun was being too incredibly formal. He felt respected, but he didn't want to be in sophisticated terms with her. He rather be in more friendly contact. 

Jonghyun's ears perked up hearing the name, "B.A.P." He looked over to whom Gayun was talking to. He recognized a B.A.P. member and couldn't help but feel infuriated. Himchan was part of the reason why Jonghyun was doing what he was doing. Jonghyun marched to the two with his chest puffed out. 

"Gayun-ssi. We have filming to attend. Let's go." He tugged on her wrist. 

He sent Himchan a death glare. He wasn't so sure why he was feeling so much hatred for him at the moment. He never really even paid attention to the members of B.A.P. until he had to be stuck with his acting "job".  

Gayun turned to him with a warning expression. She mouthed him to give her a second, as she was going to dismiss herself from Himchan. Jonghyun scoffed before letting go of her wrist. He crossed his arms and waited over the snack table again. He didn't understand why she was being so friendly with Himchan. Why couldn't she with him? 

"He's your boyfriend?" Himchan chuckled. 

Gayun sighed. Should she tell him the whole back-story? 

"One minute until shooting!" The staff repeated. 

  Well, shoot.

"...Yes." Gayun finally answered. 

Himchan pursed his lips before nodding. He looked over to where Jonghyun was at and found that he was stuffing muffins into his pockets. 

"Keeper." Himchan snickered.

"Mhm." Gayun sarcastically replied. 

"I'll see you later, Gayun-ssi." He patted her shoulder before making his leave from her. She watched as he gracefully made his way to a different backstage. When he disappeared, she put her attention towards the dino again. She stomped her way towards him and instantly pinched his ear. Gayun had dragged him with her to the interview room, ignoring his cries of pain. 


                                                                                ☆  ☆  ☆


When they settled on the love seat again, Gayun couldn't help but have images of Himchan's smiles pop into her head. She felt so- starstrucked? And adding to that, he really did remind her of her ex-lover. Which is why she couldn't help but examine his face more in her mind. 

"B.A.P is a threat. Stay no where near them." Jonghyun blurted. 

She rolled her eyes and faced his direction. He wasn't looking at her, but instead fiddling with his fingers. 

"How, so?" She challenged. 

Jonghyun looked up at her with serious eyes. 

"They're the reason why we're doing all of this right now. They've stolen the spotlight we've maintained for years now." Jonghyun answered. 

"And who's fault for the downhill is that? Your group, right? You can't just go around and blame other groups for your 
responsibility. I'm pretty certain that they've earned their succeess, and that they weren't aiming to sabotage you and your member's reputation." Gayun remarked.

"And with your stupidity, I'm not surprised you're where you're at now!" She added.

Jonghyun looked at her in a hurtful expression. She had said many insulting comments about Jonghyun before, but he felt that it harmed his feelings to point out that he may have been the reason for their current failure. After what she said, Jonghyun couldn't find himself to reply back. He remained silent until the interviewer came in. 

"Love birds! You ready to continue?" She enthusiastically smiled. 

The two nodded. 

The voice in the speaker announced the start of the filming. The interviewer welcomed back and introduced Jonghyun and Gayun once again. 

"So continuing our curiosity here... What is Gayun-ssi to you, Jonghyun-ssi?" 

Jonghyun looked at Gayun, still looking hurt. She hadn't noticed, because she was too busy looking smiley for the camera. 

"I think of her as a great potential of being a great friend. Even if she could be harsh at times, I know she has a kind heart. Because I'm not as stupid as I may portray to be." He simply answered. 

Gayun felt his words like daggers. She knew he was specifically calling her out, but she continued to act. She suddenly felt a small wave of guilt, hearing what he had said last. That he was..."not as stupid as he portrayed to be". 

After about 25 minutes, the interview was finally wrapped up. The two had overcome the personal questions really well. They were so believable on-screen. And once the episode of their interview would be premiered, they would soon be the hottest couple in the Korean music industry. Jonghyun and Gayun bowed as a farewell to their first  interviewer. 

This time, Jonghyun walked ahead of Gayun. He was still feeling burdened with the sorrowful feeling. What Gayun said really got to him. What if he was the reason why SHINee was flunking? With his lack of cooperation and easily distracted self, it would be a no-brainer that he may have been one of the major reasons. He felt Gayun's presence behind him. He ignored it before fastening his pace. 

Gayun watched Jonghyun increase his speed. She did feel slightly bad about saying something pretty harsh, but she couldn't help it. She was frustrated with him poking his nose into her business. She could only snap at him in response. Suddenly. she heard cheers over at the back stage.

It was SHINee. 

"Hyung!" Taemin cheered. 

"What are you guys doing here?" Jonghyun was utterly shocked, but also felt happy seeing s. 

He tackled them, forming a group hug. 

"How've you been, Jonghyun-ah!" Onew ruffled the dino's hair. 

"Where's your lady?" Key crossed his arms taking a look around. 

Gayun appeared, clearing . She's never seen SHINee as a whole. 

"Is this her?" Minho whispered. 

Jonghyun nodded. 

The four other members bowed politely and after, cheerfully approached her. 

"Sister-in-law!" Onew smiled. 

"Wow. Noona is so pretty!" Taemin complimented. 

Gayun was overwhelmed with their attention. Her cheeks couldn't resist blushing. Surprisingly, she just let them crowd her as they attacked her with their sweet-filled words.  

Jonghyun finally decided to pry them away from her. He protectively held her with his arm and had s distance from her. 

"You're making her claustrophobic." Jonghyun barked.

They raised their hands up in surrender. Jonghyun smirked before taking his arm off of Gayun. 

"Meet my girlfriend, Park Gayun." Jonghyun introduced. 

Gayun awkwardly bowed at his introduction, while the members gasped. 

"Aigoo, our Jonghyun is so smooth!" Key clasped his hands and praised. 

"If Jonghyun hyung ever does anything you don't like... give us a call, okay?" Minho pulled his sleeves up and cracked his knuckles. 

Gayun chuckled at his offer. Now she knew where to go if Jonghyun was ever ticking her off. She smiled and nodded in response. 

"Gayun Noona... I really think  Jonghyun hyung will fall for you. You're a true beauty!" Taemin swooned. 

Jonghyun scoffed and shook his head, "As if." 

Gayun clicked her tounge, making the "tch" sound. 

"I'll be willing to accept your love!" Taemin suggested. 

"Boys, we should make our way back now. Jonghyun and Gayun have had a long day." Manager Hyung appeared  out of the blue. The four members pouted hearing that it was time to go home. 

"I want to live with Jonghyun hyung and Gayun Noona." Taemin attempted to plea. 

"You can't, since your Umma is still here." Key dragged the maknae next to him. 

Gayun laughed at Taemin's cuteness. She actually enjoyed the happy vibe the group had given. She wondered why Jonghyun never gave her that type of feeling. It was like he was made to be irked by her. The members each bid Gayun a respectful goodbye. Though, Taemin was tempted to steal a strand of her hair for a little souvenir. He was stopped by Jonghyun though. Jonghyun felt that Taemin wouldn't let her go after holding her, so he didn't dare risk it happening. 

When manager hyung and the four had finally left, Jonghyun and Gayun were left back stage. Gayun looked at him, not knowing what to say. So, Jonghyun did the trick. He decided to act as if everything was okay. But of course, Gayun had already felt the change by the way he acted when the two of them were only together. 

"We should head home now." Jonghyun simply acknowledged. 

Gayun looked at him. She liked the more playful, pushy side of him. Now, he was being so lifeless and it triggered her 
curiosity. 

"Yah! Why are you so-" 

"What?" He sighed. 

"Your attitude is bugging me." She scrunched her nose. 

"What? All I said was we should head home now." He said, before turning around to walk ahead of her again. 

"Jonghyun!" She called. 

He stopped, before turning his head back to slightly face her. 

"Aish." She muttered under her breath. 

"I'msorryforwhatIsaid." She was flushed with her own words. She was now walking ahead of him, not wanting to confront him  face to face any longer. She grabbed his wrist as she made their way out. Jonghyun stared at her hand on his wrist. 

He smirked, before grabbing her whole hand with his. She looked at him, like he murdered her family. 

"There's papazrazzi waiting outside, babe."
