One / Taemin
SHINee Songfic Oneshots
All written in third person's POV
{One}
He's getting bored with his life.
Home after school is his routine every weekdays and sometimes, in weekends.
Cram school, studying - Lee Taemin is getting tired of it.
He's sick of it. How his life rotate in just this little circle.
He took a look on his sunflower before going inside the house.
The sunflower seems to need the sun, it's been weeks. Rain, rain, rain - it won't go away
even how many times he sang that 'rain, rain go away' song.
He closed his umbrella and set his foot inside the house.
"Hyung, I'm home!" He barked, with his signature angelic smile.
"You're home Taemin-ah, put on your slippers, dinner is ready."
The hyung with dulcet smile replied, almost tripping.
"How's school?" He asked as he watch the younger one put himself on his comfy yellow fluffy slippers.
"It's always like that, hyung. Can you help me with my math assignment?"
Taemin removed his bag, placing it on the sofa and taking his pace towards the dining table.
"Sure, after we eat." The older one joined him and they ate happilly together.
"Taemin-ah, get my things in my room. I'll help you with your assignment after washing this dishes."
Taemin happilly obliged, he went to his hyung's room to get some of his books and notebooks.
Taemin reached for the math book, but a piece of paper fell from it.
He picked it and sat on the bed.
'099307180525 Onew oppa, if you have some time please text me, I will wait for it.'
"There's 'oppa' on it, meaning it's a girl? Do hyung know her? Or... should I text her?"
Taemin talked to himself, the 18-year old boy is somewhat interested
to his hyung's classmates or his school. Just like that.
The doorknob turned revealing his hyung, "Taemin I'm done with the dishes,
let's do your homework. Bring the books downstairs." He said, interrupting Taemin's train of thoughts.
"Ah-ye yes. I will bring them downstairs," Taemin smiled nervously and
slipped the piece of paper in his pocket.
After answering his assignments he went to his room and buried himself on his bed.
He took both his phone and the paper out and started to punch some digits.
From: Lee Taemin
To: 099307180525
Hello.
From: 099307180525
To: Lee Taemin
Hi. Thanks for texting me.
From: Lee Taemin
To: 099307180525
Are you anticipating for it?
From: 099307180525
To: Lee Taemin
Well, Kind of. Onew right?
Taemin thought for a while, this girl is interested on his hyung.
Maybe he should say yes - play it off for a while, his hyung is not interested on girls anyways.
Or maybe not - using Onew's name will put him on quite not good situation.
He sighed, thinking 'this'll be in short time anyways,'
and the mushroom haired boy changed his phonebook name.
From: Onew
To: 099307180525
Yes, how about you?
From: 099307180525
To: Onew
I'm Han Taehee, nice to meet you! ^^;;;
From: Onew
To: Taehee^^;;;
You seem to be friendly, nice to meet you too :)
...And Lee Taemin's life brightened a little, with that piece of paper, with that one text message.
The morning sunlight is like you.
It might be a little childish, but I like it.
If I'm by your side when I wake up,
I have nothing more to wish for.
I want to see you.
Taemin changed his phonebook back to his name again, the girl won't see it anyways.
He smiled as he started pressing the letters on his phone.
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
Good Morning Taehee-ah! ^^;;;
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
Ah! How many times I would say...
STOP USING MY EMOTICON! IT'S MINE!
Good Morning btw
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
What's btw? Or do you mean ftw? Typo? ^^;;;
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
ARRRRGGGHHH I didn't know you're THIS annoying -_-#
It's By The Way and it's not a typo -_-#
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
Oh sorry -_-#
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
I SAID STOP USING MY EMOTICONS! CREATE YOUR OWN!
Aigoo. Thank heavens I sort of like you because if I didn't...
I wouldn't text you anymore.
'I sort of like you'
Taemin's heart pound a little. A big grin was plastered on his face. It's been 2 weeks.
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
Again? The last sentence, please? ^^;;;
"Mr. Lee, how many times I'd say to stop using phone on my class? Outside. Now!"
He obliged and stand outside the classroom. All eyes on him.
He's a responsible student and this is the first time his classmates saw him like that.
His thoughts went away, he really want to see this girl.
But the small smile was shoved away as soon as he remembered, He is Onew to her.
He took his phone out when he saw that the teacher was too absorbed in teaching,
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
I said I sort of like you. Satisfied?
Even how many times Taemin reminded himself that he is Onew to her, he still can't help not to smile.
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
Very!
Don't think that we can't love because we're young.
Before it's too late, before I grow older,
can you hold onto me?
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
What? Do you have a brother? o_o
From: Taeminnie
To: Taehee^^;;;
Yes and his name sounded like yours; a little.
His name is Taemin.
From: Taehee^^;;;
To: Taeminnie
Oh! Indeed. And since we're both starting with 'Tae',
I bet he's cute too kkkkkkkkkk
He jumped. Taemin jumped up and down happilly.
He finally felt that she's talking about Taemin. She bet he is cute.
He stopped and look at his reflection on the mirror.
"Remove the specs... off." He said as he removed his glasses. He fixed his hair and smiled.
"I do really look cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" He squeeled, jumping up and down again to his bed.
But then his foot slipped and he fell to the floor, first.
The door flung open and a worried Onew came flying in. "Taeminnie, are you okay?"
"Ye-yes hyung. But I think I need new glasses, I kind of.. stepped on it.
Ah no, not new glasses. Contact lens just.. yes contact lens."
"I thought you hate contact lenses?" Onew raised an eyebrow, arms crossed on his chest.
"No? When did I say something like that?" Taemin chuckled nervously,
there's a hint of suspicion on Onew's voice.
"Well. I'll let you off this time. Taemin needs to look cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Onew said, imitating how Taemin jumps up and down earlier.
I love you only, as much as the sky.
You truly are the reason I live.
I really, really want to hug you like crazy.
We're still going too fast, aren't we?
Lee Taemin sighed for the nth time. Where did that 'short time' go? It's been a month now.
"Lee Taemin, you can't fall for this girl! You haven't see her!
You don't even know how she look like and how she sounds like. Lee Taemin, she's not into you.
She's into your hyung! What should I do? I think I... like her." Taemin talked to himself, walking then and there.
He was never THIS interested on a girl.
He took his phone out and searched for her name on his phonebook,
pressing the green phone button and placing the phone to his ear.
'This will be fine... But what if she was like 60 years old ajjuma or something?
What if she was hyung's teacher that is inlove with him or the school's principal? What if--
"Yeoboseyo?" Lee Taemin was beyond surprised.
The voice on the other line doesn't sound like 60-year old ajjuma, a teacher or a principal.
It sounded like a girl same age as him, her voice was sweet, he noted.
"Hello?"
"He-hello." He tried to relax, but it seems like his heart can't.
"Onew-shii?"
"Yes?" He even tried to sound manly.
"You sound really cuuuute. I didn't have time to have a small chat with you at school...
And it's nice to hear your voice like this." The voice on the other line chuckled, Taemin can't help but to smile.
"You too... Too bad I can't use emoticons here. So... How's school?" He giggled.
"Borrrrrrrriiiiing. The teacher told me to stand outside and it's
really embarassinggg! It's because you keep texting me arrgh!"
"It's not my fault! You're the one who keeps on texting me! And you know,
I had the same situation as you before... and yesterday!"
"Yesterday? I didn't saw you standing yesterday. I'm just two rooms ahead of yours."
She said, in as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
'Craaaaap! We're from different schools!' he thought as he gave himself a mental slap.
"Ah yes.. Maybe the other day? I can't really remember. And you're unfaaaaiiiir!
I don't even know how you look like." He exclaimed, changing the subject.
"Ah, you don't need to see me face to face~" she sang.
"I bet you have 3 eyes or something. Or too weird for a girl. Maybe you have a long beird like santa's.
Or you look like the kidnapper of Hansel and Gretel... Makes me wonder..."
"Wow. That's so rude. And since when did Hansel and Gretel had a kidnapper?
I hate you. Okay change the subject! How's Lee Taemin?"
He smiled. She's asking how is HE. "He's fine. Don't change the subject Taehee-ah!
Maybe you look like an old grandma with big spaces between her teeth!"
"I really hate you. You're soooo mean! Meanie!"
"You know I like teasing you!"
'...And meanie sound like minnie! Taeminnie likey!'
"Taehee-ah, give me your email address, let's see each other on camera!"
"What's with that?! That's so sudden! Uh, no."
"Pleeeeaaasse!"
"Noooo. And besides my laptop is at the repair center. ah, this is frustating."
"How about next week?"
"Sounds like a deal..."
"Your call."
Whenever our eyes meet, I wonder if the smile that
grows on my face might reach a corner of your heart.
I whisper into your beautiful ear, inside of your
uncertain heart, my feelings of love for you.
"Hyung please! Just show up on the camera and that's it! I promise!"
Taemin pleaded, following his hyung like a lost puppy.
"Taemin-ah, it's really obvious that you like the girl, right? You can do it. I'll be on your side."
"But hyung! How about just for 30 seconds? Please!" Taemin bowed 90 degrees. The older pulled him up.
"Okay. I'll do it."
Taemin happilly went to his room and opened his laptop. Onew sat beside him,
"Hyung just wave your hands like this," Taemin elaborated. "Okay..."
Taehee is already online, he clicked the 'permission to view webcam button' and she gladly accepted it.
She don't have 3 eyes. She didn't look weird.
She don't look like an ajjuma with false teeth or Hansel and Gretel's kidnapper.
She was simply pretty.
He hit 'accept' when the girl attempted to view his webcam.
Like what Taemin told his hyung to do, Onew waved his hands playfully.
And the girl on the screen did the same too.
"Are we on call?" Onew whispered.
"No, just the webcam." Taemin answered, eyes locked on the screen.
"Oh, I think she's someone from my school."
"Oh--kay. I think 30 seconds is finished. Hyung, you're enjoying too much; stop the waving."
Taemin shoo his hyung. He watch the older one close his bedroom door.
Taemin sat on the chair and fixed the webcam to his direction.
The girl on the screen was bewildered. As far as he remember,
she mouthed 'Oh my God' and slam the laptop shut.
And he was left there hanging.
He even got a new haircut, and colored his hair brown.
He wore contact lens instead of glasses and styled his hair.
The boy just sat there, still doing nothing.
He finally cried. Taemin reached for the mouse and searched for her on his screen.
He looked around hopelessly and visciously wiped his cheek with the back of his hand
as his tears started falling faster.
"Why must she like hyung? Why do I feel like this?"
I'll be taking you girl, I know without you,
without you, I miss you.
I'll long for you forever.
It's been another week. No calls nor text from her.
Taemin glanced over his phone from time to time but there was nothing.
He called her so many times but she's not picking up.
He sent her almost 138 text message and email combined.
Does she hate him that much?
He miss the sound of her muching food while talking to him.
The way her emoticons make his lips curve into grin.
The way she ring his phone on the morning to wake him up.
And more importantly, he miss her.
"This'll be my last voicemail. Let's meet tomorrow since I've got something to give to you.
10am on the gates of the school. I'll be waiting."
Taemin closed his eyes and lay on his bed.
"No matter how hard things may seem,
there is always something good coming around the corner."
My feelings of desire and hope,
my love that grows deep again,
I can no longer hide them.
You are me, girl.
He was wearing his favorite shirt and pants, patiently waiting for her on the gates of his hyung's school.
His hair was styled perfectly and girls keep glancing on him here and then.
But he's just waiting for that one girl who made him to look like this.
He want to look handsome enough, to be appealling to her.
And there he saw the girl with big black orbs, wearing a cheeky smile.
And soon as she come closer her expression change, she looks somewhat dissappointed.
"I just want-- I meant hyung want.. Want to give this to you..."
He said as he handed her a sunflower, with a white ribbon binded around the stem.
She gladly accepted it and finally smiled. "It's... pretty. Thank you. Where's your hyung?"
"He's at home... Do you have classes?"
"Actually... We don't have any classes today."
"How about some... Coffee?"
"Us? Together?"
Taemin gulped. "Y-yes."
"Okay then."
My heart will catch you and not let you go.
Can you feel it as well?
Before, oh, it's too late, before I grow older,
can you hold onto me?
Taemin went home, utterly satisfied because of the outcome that one, she went out with him.
Two, he's taller than her. Three, how she talks a lot and smiles often.
He reminisce everything happened earlier and can't help but to smile.
He asked her if they could meet again sometime and surprisingly, she said yes.
But his a bit dissapointed that she's always talking about his hyung.
I know that your heart cannot come to my side yet.
Can I just call you my One?
After their second, third, fourth and fifth meeting,
He confessed. So many times and there's only one reply: "We're too young."
"Hyung... Tell me, do boys cry?" He said, his face started to clench and his eyes started to sting.
He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to stop the tears that were about to come.
The older one hugged him, he smiled as the younger buried his face to his chest; still trying not to cry.
"Boys cry if they can't take it anymore, it's okay. It just shows that you've been trying to be strong for so long,"
And soon the younger one was sobbing like there's no tomorrow.
"Time will come, you're still young." The lad hugged his younger brother, comforting him.
"Hyung, I can't help it... She's like a sunlight- ah no, a sunflower."
"Taemin-ah, Love is giving someone your heart, knowing that they can destroy your whole world when you do that,
but trusting that person not to do that. Just trust in her and never give up, that 'We're too young' means you still need to wait."
"Hyung... I wish I was you."
Let's all together, one, two, three, let's begin.
You are my one, my everything.
I really, really want to love you like crazy.
I can do that now, right?
"Taemin, the main reason I'm telling you we're too young because I need to go overseas and
study there for like, 8 years. But I will come back. Can you wait for me?"
Taehee his mushroom hair, trying not to be emotional.
Taemin grabbed both of her hands and placed them carefully on his cheeks.
"I won't give up and I'll wait, promise."
I really, really want to love you like crazy.
I can do that now, right?
8 years passed. Very fast. Taemin is now an actor in Korea, And Onew is already married.
Taemin entered military and finished 2 more years there. 10 years. He's still waiting.
And the time finally arrived. Taehee is going back to Seoul to meet Taemin.
Taemin arranged everything as planned.
The airport was filled with sunflowers and white roses.
The big banner with 'Welcome home Taehee' is ready.
As soon as the girl with big black orbs exited the door,
all the lights went out and heavenly beautiful fireworks became present.
She was holding the sunflower given to her 10 years ago.
Taemin hugged her tightly.
"You're 26 and I'm 28. Saying we're too young is not an excuse anymore."
Taehee hugged the man of her dreams, "I love you meanie."
I can do that now, right?
10 years ago.
"Quickly, now put that to Onew's book while he's not around!"
The girl in nerdy specs keep tapping the girl with big black orbs,
"Ouch! But... Can this really work out?" Taehee asked.
"Of course! So you'll get to text Onew then get Taemin's number from him! That easy! Now, go!"
The girl with specs pushed her once again,
"Unnie! Onew is smart! Of course he would protect his brother..."
"Yah! If you really like this Taemin guy you'll do it!"
"Aissh! Okay!" Taehee went inside the classrom and placed the small piece of paper inside Onew's math book.
***
"Unnie! Unnie! I'll have a webcam viewing with Onew!" Taehee rushed to her laptop,
"That's good! Then request him to show Taemin for you!"
"I can't do that! I'm certain he thinks that I like him! That will be weird!"
"Then ask how's Taemin or what is he doing! He'll call Taemin automatically by that!
He won't suspect, keep this on mind: don't make it too obvious that you're there for Taemin okay!"
"Okay!"
...few minutes later.
There's Taemin right in front of her screen.
"Oh my God!" She yelled, she didn't know what to do and just found herself slamming the laptop.
"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I SAW LEE TAEMIN ON THE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"
***
"It feels like heaven. I love that feeling."
Taehee continued, narrating the events of earlier that day, holding the sunflower that was given to her.
***
"Uniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
"What?! Stop screaming you look like an idiot!"
"I found... A TOP SECRET!"
"Now what?"
"I've been talking to Taemin the whole while."
TAEMINishi desu~~ OMG after decadeesss!
My fingers knida hut because I've been typing this for 2 hours straight.
OKAY, LET ME CLEAR THIS UP~
Taehee is talking about Onew the whole time on her and Taemin's first date
to make it not obvious that she likes our minnie.
And the part where Taehee asked that onew had a brother,
she's just acting like she don't know.
