“Hey you bum, get up!” someone yells and starts shaking my bed.

“Go away,” I mumble.

“Yah! HyunSun!” I open my eyes.

Who?...oh yeah, that’s me.

“We have practice today,” Key says pulling the covers off of me.

I roll over and dig my head underneath my pillow.

“I don’t.”

He chuckles.

“I got a call from the director and he says that he wants you to come.”

I let out a huge sigh.

“You’re meeting one of you members today.”

I jump up. “Seriously?”

He smiles.

“I honestly don’t know. I just made that up.”

I groan. “Evil.”

“Hey put this on,” he says throwing a beanie at me.

I twirl it around on my hand.

“That’s not a toy. Wear it.”

I put it on and then craw down the ladder to get ready for practice.

“Oh you’re actually up,” Minho says laying fully clothed for dance practice.

I look away.

“Yeah.”

I sort through my bags trying to find my gym clothes.

“Oh wear this,” Key says pulling out an oversized shirt.

“Huh?”

“It’s baggy. It’ll be good for what we talked about yesterday,” he says using his hands to make the curves of a waist.

I snatch the shirt. What if Minho sees?

“Do you have any cut offs?”

I look at him.

“Thanks Umma, I think I can dress myself or do you feel inclined to follow?”

He laughs.

“If you insist.”

I glare at him.

“I was kidding.”

I leave for the bathroom to wash up and change.

---

I start stretching and avoid looking at the boys. The last thing I need is for them to think that I’m gay.

“Let’s do something easy,” Onew says and turns on the radio.

The five of them line up and start dancing to ‘Lucifer.’

Isn’t this supposed to be easy? T_T

“Hey HyunSun, do you need help?” Taemin asks the song’s over.

I feel my brain die and turn to mush.

“A little.”

He laughs and then walks me up to the mirror and show’s me the steps.

“Okay so move your arm like this.”

He bends his right arm and then his left.

I follow him as best as I can and then we do the steps faster.

“You’ve got that part down. Great!”

He gives me a high five and I can’t help but laugh at him.

He’s just too cute.

I glance into the mirror and notice that he and the rest of SHINee are gawking at me.

“What?”

“You’re laugh,” Onew begins. “It’s too cute. Like a giggle.”

I cover my face.

“Don’t make fun of me. I can’t help it.”

There’s a knock at the door and we all turn to the tall girl standing in the doorway.

“I hope I’m not intruding on anything, but…” She looks down on a piece of paper. “I need the trainee.”

I scratch my head. What now?

“Hyunsun, don’t take too long,” Taemin smiles.

I nod and leave the room.

“Misun is it?” the girl asks once we’re alone.

“Yes,” I look at her. “May I ask who you are?”

She lets out a sigh. “At the moment that’s not important. You need to change.”

“Excuse me?”

“You can’t meet your new band mates dressed like that. Come on.”

She pulls me into a room and starts attacking me with makeup and fixes my hair.

“Now change into this.”

I take the clothes. Is this what people call déjà vu?

I do as she says and take a look at myself.

“Omo, a girl again.”

“Yep, all thanks to your new stylist.”

I look at the girl.

“You’re my stylist?”

She laughs. “The one and only.”

“What is the name you go by as a boy?” she asks playing with my hair.

“Hyunsun, it’s easy for me to answer to.”

She nods her head.

“Well you’re going to be meeting two of the members of your group today. But don’t mention this to them, I’m not sure I’d trust them quite yet.”

I turn to her, “What do you mean?”

“Well, these two boys are…special.”

I look at her eagerly. “Like how?”

“Eh, you’ll just have to see. They’re not bad…it’s just, well, you’ll see.”

I’m not sure if I like this girl. :X

She motions for me to follow her so I do.

“YoungSoo and YoungJae are really looking forward to meeting you.”

Maintaining prosperity and constantly prosperous…what’s the chances that they would have similar names?

She opens a door.

"“AeCha!”" a harmonizing pair of voices call.

“Hey boys, I’ve brought you your band mate.”

I peer inside the room to see two identical boys with the only difference being their hair.

“"Hello,"” they smile.

“Annyo, nice to meet you. I’m MiSun.”

They laugh.

“I wasn’t expecting you to be so small,” the red head says.

The brown haired one hits the other. “Be nice.”

“Hyung, it’s just…”

The brown haired one stands up. “I’m YoungSoo and this guy is YoungJae.”

YoungJae raises a hand. “Present.”

I smile. “So is it just us three?”

“You haven’t met Donghul yet?” the red head gasps.

I mean YoungJae. He’s the red head.

“I didn’t know his name.”

They both drop their mouths.

“"You’re the leader and you don’t know the names or amount of people in your group?”"

I take a step back. They really need to stop harmonizing like that.

“I tried to ask my manager but he wouldn’t tell me anything.”

YoungJae stands up.

“We should go out for coffee or something. Then we can fill you in.”

Each boy gives me a hand so that I can stand between them.

“Kaja!” YoungJae  shouts leading the group.

“Is he always like this?” I ask YoungSoo.

He closes his eyes and nods. “Unfortunately.”

“I’ve still got to work. Have fun!” AeCha calls after us.

We walk down the hallway hand in hand as if we’ve always been friends.

“Oh Hyung look!”

YoungJae waves with his free hand to a group of boys.

YoungSoo also waves to them.

I look closely.

SH-T! It’s SHINee!

I quickly try to let go of their hands but YoungJae won’t come lose. I use my right hand to cover my face.

“Annyo!” YoungSoo greets all of SHINee.

I peek through my fingers and see Key looking at me hesitantly. I take a quick glance over the boys and notice Minho is staring at me.

My face reddens and I look away as if the wall is more interesting.

“Who’s that?” Taemin asks and I can feel my heart literally shatter from pounding so hard.

“A fellow trainee,” YoungJae explains.

“Annyo!” Onew says trying to get my attention.

I hid my face behind YoungJae and only peer over his shoulder.

“Oppas~, I’m really sorry, but I have to hurry,” I say in the sweetest voice I can manage.

I look back at SHINee and see that Minho is still staring at me.

Crap! Has he caught me?

YoungJae tries to make conversation but squeeze his hand.

“YoungJae O-ppa! I don’t have a lot of time.”

He laughs almost like he’s on edge.

“Sorry Sunbaes, see you.”

When we get half way down the hallway I peek around my shoulder.

Not only is Minho still staring, but Jonghyun is gaping.

This is…perfect.
