All in Minho's POV Watch the vid with English translation

{Quasimodo}

Your traces that my heart is filled with
Makes me able to breatheWhen the long night is colored by the moonlight
Will the inescapable wait all end?
I wish for a miracle and ask and answer myself

Minhee and I were bestfriends for, like, three years now.

I met her when we moved in to this little town. She lived just across the street. She wasn't a snob and she was absolutely approachable so we formed our friendship quite easier than I would have thought possible for a guy like me and a girl like her.

She had a very charming smile and told me amusing stories about herself. She was very energetic and transparent. I had never met anyone like her in my life.

Not only being neighbors, we were also classmates in middle school. We complemented each other a lot; she was really good in academics but a poor athlete and I was her exact opposite so we were able to help each other out.

"You're holing it the wrong way," I told her once. "Do it like this ..."

"Ya, Minho-oppa, I couldn't really get the hang of it," she pouted. "Can't we live without Physical Education?"

"Of course, we can't; I'd die. This is easy, try it like this and --"

"Substitute x with y?" she cut across me.

These little things made us laugh easily. She wasn't hard to deal with.

And, it wasn't difficult to to fall for her.

Oh, I can’t tell you about me, who wants to reach your heart
Like the starlight hidden behind the cold clouds
I love you, in the end, this painful confession
That lingers at the edge of my lips
Slides down in tears

Yes. For a while, I suddenly realized that I love her. Like Mr. Darcy with Elizabeth Bennet of the classic Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, I was already halfway before I knew I had begun. That kind of thing.

Cupid pointed his arrow straight through my heart, indeed. And so here I was, head over heels in love with her.

But it's hard to fall for your bestfriend, you know? Because when you confess, it might ruin everything. Or else, you might indeed get into relationship but later on fall apart, and lose your friendship. These thoughts actually entered my mind every time I look at her pretty face and expressive eyes.

Yes, maybe I was just such a coward.

"Minho-oppa, what to do? Key-oppa is coming this way!" she panicked one day, pointing at Key who was walking down the street.

"You're calling him 'Key-oppa' suddenly? I thought I was you only oppa ... What does it matter if he's coming this way?" I asked skeptically.

"Yay! I'm shy! Do I look fine?" she said, fixing her hair hastily.

"Of course, you're always beautiful. Why are you suddenly like that?"

"Aish. I like him, oppa. Haven't I told you yet?" she admitted, blushing violently. See, she was this frank to me.

It was as if a hard brick dropped down my chest. For a moment, I was at a lost for words. "Y-you do?"

"Erm, yes ... He's so -- well -- look at him! He's so handsome, so cool and simply ... perfect," she replied.

I watched as Key passed by. Minhee greeted her with a warm hello and I half-heartedly nodded at him, feeling my insides getting sqeezed tightly.

"I-is he?" I asked when Key was already a good few feet away. Then, trying to cover up the pain I was feeling, I said, "What about me?"

She looked at me up and down thoughtfully, smiling brightly. "Of course you are also handsome, cool and perfect. You're very kind to me always, oppa, and I love you like an elder brother."

My eyes blurred as I fought back some tears. An elder brother, just like that?

"Is that so?" I managed. "Oh, I suddenly remeber, I'm supposed to help Eomma with some chores. I'll see you later." Without waithing for her to respond, I turned my back on her as the tears finally spilled from my eyes.

This arrow that’s reached my heart
Feels like a part of my body now
Even though it hurts to death
I can’t remove you, who’s stuck in my heart
Because it’s love, because for me, it’s love

Locked up insde my room, I headed towards my bed and slumped against my pillow, drenching it with my emotions which are too hard to translate into words. I wanted to scream out loud because I was holding back this feelings for long and after all, I was only an elder brother to her.

I actually enjoyed it whenever she calls me "Oppa" but I had misunderstood it to mean something like a term of endearment.

Indeed, this arrow that Cupid sent hurts me now. But hard as I try to remove it, it was already stuck in here. As I try to pull it away, the more it hurts me.

This is Minhee. And I would not remove her from my heart. Minhee, the one person I love this much ...

Even if I can’t have you, even when my heart
Is blocked in the end by the wall of sad connection
I love you, if it’s a place, where I can just watch you
Because you’re my everything

At school, I tried to act as normally as I could around her. However, I had to endure her stories about Ke: how much she liked him, how adorable he was, and how thankful she was to have someone like me whom she could talk about this things. Like an elder brother ...

In the end, watching her glowing with happiness at the very mention of Key, I came up with the sad solution to just love her secretly and from afar. As long as she was fine, I would be.

I stay up for so many nights
When the starlight becomes rain
That doesn’t stop like my tears
Remember that I loved you

Tears wouldn't let me sleep night after night while thoughts of her flood my mind. Why is it that when I so wanted to sleep just to forget my broken heart for a while, that was also when all our happy memories together come back to me?

When my eyes soon give up from crying endlessly and fall into an uneasy sleep, she was there in my dreams too, where all the memories rewind itself. Over and over again.

I wanted to reach out to her, hold her, but I was only a bestfriend to her ...

Even if I can’t have you, even when my heart
Is blocked in the end by the wall of sad connection, I love you
If it’s a place, where I can just watch you
Because you’re my everything

Minhee came to my side one day, almost skipping out of so much joy. It was as if she wanted to burst out and her only way to let it all out was to tell me (as she usually does).

"Kyaaa~! I'm so happy!"

Seeing her this bright made my day but I kind of dreaded what she might tell me. "So I noticed," I said. "What is it?"

"Key confessed his feelings to me!" she announced, literally jumping up and down. "He said he likes me for a very long time and actually asked me to be his girlfriend!"

"D-did he?" I mumbled, trying to smile in spite of myself. "What did you say?"

"Of course, I said yes!" she said, hugging me around the neck. "Omo, I'm really happy! You know how much I like him, don't you? It's like all my dreams are coming true!"

And all my dreams went into nothingness ...

I wrapped my arms around her waist, closing me eyes to stop another rush of tears. I'm glad because you are. I wish you both good luck. Wherever you are happy, Oppa is always here to support you," I told her. "I love you, Minhee. Remember that."

As if she already wanted to break the hug, I held her tighter.

"Let me hug you just this time. Key won't let me do this anymore later on, will he?"

She made a sad chuckle. "Alright, then. Thank you so much. And I love you too because you're my bestfriend forever.

Finally, I let go. I patted her on top of the head. "Right. If he ever hurt you, just tell me and I'll make him resemble a panda."


She beamed widely. "I will," she promised. "'Bye, Oppa. He's waiting for me. He wants to go home together."

I simply nodded at her. I watched her walk away happily, her long hair bouncing behind her.

At least, although she didn't notice it much, I was able to tell her my feelings. My chest felt lighter.

Even if I can’t have you, even when my heart (I need you)
Is blocked in the end by the wall of sad connection (I am trying not to cry over you, baby)
I love you if it’s a place, where I can just watch you
(I love you, I love you)
Because you’re my everything

I'm trying to be stronger now. Minhee is supposed to give me strength everyday.

Shouldn't it be enough that I just love her? Even though it was only a one-way feeling, I shouldn't ask for anything in return. Yes, I could never hold her hands, kiss her, or embrace her like that again but I'm contented to know that we could be together longer this way, as bestfriends: No terms, no conditions, no commitment, no breakups.

It's not tough, oh no
Because you have to be mine
In order for you to be you
Even if it hurts
Even if you make me cry
I love you

I will always do, my Minhee.

EmanneArdeeSy imnida!

I'm really really very very sorry indeed for my super late update!

I was sick last week so I wasn't able to think straight and when I finally recovered, I had to rush projects and review for our final exams for this semester. Kinda busy with that jam-packed schedule, not to mention the laziness in me as well.

I'm very sorry.

I was supposed to do the *Cold heart baby* thing, as what was given by TAEMINishi as a clue, but then I ended up with this! Minho did give me a hard time, trying to fit a story that would give "justice" to that lovely song, one of my all-time SHINee favorite. I had the idea, yes, but they won't connect well yet. But I will still do that later on.

Right after the cheerful Wowowow, the ballad Quasimodo ...

EASy is too talkative, isn't she? ^^

'Til here.
