“What is this?!” I raised my voice
a little after reading that title. I took the laptop closer to my face and read
the article. There were three photos of me with Key, Jonghyun and Minho. The
first one was when Jonghyun and I were at the shopping mall. It was a shot of
Jonghyun holding my hand. The next one was when Key tried putting my shoes on
during the ‘broken heel’ incident. Lastly, was when Minho and I were at the
park. What is this nonsense? I read the comments below and the fans surely did
not like it at all; calling me a crazy woman for going after three idols at the
same time and saying that I might cause them to fall apart, SHINee that is. I
looked at Minho in the eyes and he told me that I should be more careful after
this because ‘some’ bad things might happen. He insisted me to tell him or the
others if anything bad happen. My mood wasn’t in a good shape afterwards. I
courage myself that everything’s going to be fine and I should just go on with
my life as if nothing wrong had happen.
After a few days since the article
spread wide to the whole world, some people from the entertainment news called
their manager to get a closer scoop of the story themselves and surely the
manager tells the truth that we were only friends and those screenshots were
‘accidently’ confused as if we were on a date. At first, I did get some bad
feedbacks from the Shawol fans but fortunately nothing really bad happened.
Actually, I don’t consider it bad but it surely made me feel very uncomfortable
when I’m in the bus. As soon as I hop on, I could see some people already
staring at me and they won’t allow me sit next to them, especially when it
comes to some schoolgirls. I had to stand for the entire one hour trip from
where I live just to get to my workplace. I still remember there was one time
when I was getting off the bus near the SM building; I felt a hard push behind
me making me stumble a little. I turned around and I’m pretty sure they were
kind of cursing me or something but I just had to ignore them or something
terrible might happened. Key saw everything when he was about to enter the
building. When I passed him I was really hoping that he didn’t see me getting
hurt by some schoolgirls because I didn’t want to burden them anymore but his
expression didn’t seem very happy about it. “Are you okay?” he asked. Of
course, I answered it with one word only. “Yes” After that incident, they
insisted me to use their van as a transport so I don’t have to deal with those
kids anymore. I really hope that they would forget about me after this but one
thing came into my mind. What if Minho and I do work out? What would happen to
us? What would happen between the relationship of SHINee and Shawols? I had to
make second thoughts about our relationship. Better yet, I had to make a
thousand thought about it.

The filming continues right after
Woo Bin claimed that he had already fully recovered from the accident. At
first, I couldn’t believe it for myself because 3 weeks doesn’t seem to be
enough for a full recovery but he seems confident about it, I just have to
accept it. After a few shoot, I noticed that he wasn’t himself. He seemed like
he was aching from the pain. He was murmuring to himself everytime he limps
around the set and everytime someone asks if he’s alright, he would say yes but
his expressions said something else. I knew that I had to take care of him from
time to time as a repay for saving my life but everything I do can’t be compared
to the price of his life that he had to put on the line to save me. When the
director gives a signal for recess, I would immediately go to Woo Bin to give
him any helping hand if he needs it.
Meanwhile, Minho couldn’t stop
bugging me to eat with him even if I tried explaining to him that I need to
help Woo Bin when I had the spare time. There was one time when Woo Bin was
walking down the stairs he suddenly trip and fell. Fortunately, I was walking by
and eventhough I wasn’t strong enough, I managed to prevent him from falling
hard on the concrete floor which could make his pain go a lot worse. His hand
automatically was at my waist trying to get support to stand properly again. Somehow,
I could see Minho looking at us from afar when I glimpsed around to see if
anyone could help us. He didn’t come to help but instead walked away. Woo Bin
saw him too and looked at me. “Go. I’ll be fine” I was really thankful to him
for understanding me. I ran to catch up with Minho but I couldn’t find him
anywhere. I asked everyone and they said that he went into his dressing room.
When I walked inside, he was practicing his dialogues. “Minho ssi, what you
saw…” “I’m sorry, Aiman ssi. But I need to practice to get this line right. If
you don’t mind…” Then, he continued reciting his lines again and again. I only
stood by the door waiting for him to call me back but he didn’t. In the end, I
just left with a pain aching in my heart. How can he misunderstand something small
and wouldn’t listen to my explanations before making a big accusation in his
head? Luckily, the director called me which made me forget about that for a few
moments.
This time, we had to go filming outdoor
for a scene where the king was attacked by some bandits while on his way back
to the palace. I was having a talk with the director about how the setting
should be done. Minho was there too with some of the makeup artists getting his
makeup done. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind was blowing into our direction.
“Aiman ssi, how many layers of clothes are you wearing? You look like you’re
going to freeze to death” he said sarcastically when he heard me chattering my
teeth instead of talking like a human being would normally do. “…two” I said to
myself. Minho just looks from afar without saying a word. I remembered that I
brought along a padded jacket to keep myself from the cold. When I got to the
van, it was locked. Another strong gust of wind blew and I had to hug myself
from getting blown away by that wind. Suddenly, Woo Bin came out of nowhere
with a jacket in his hand. He puts it onto my shoulders and I wore it
instantly, not wanting to freeze to death just like what the director had just
said. “Here. I have an extra. You can wear it until the end of filming” he
said, simple. I thanked him while walking back to the set to continue my work.
Woo Bin, still at the parking area turned around and saw Minho behind the van
with a jacket in his hand. He looked into Minho’s eyes deeply while giving him
a smirk in the end before walking back to the set. Minho, with a fury flame in
his eyes, walked away with the jacket still in his hand before throwing it
away.
When he got back from the parking
area, Minho saw Aiman was giving instructions on how the scene goes to Woo Bin.
Everyone else were too busy with their own jobs but there was something about
both of them that bothers Minho deeply. He felt that they’ve become close, too
close. Then, some female staffs were walking by and he could hear every single
detail of what they were talking about. “Yah, did you saw earlier? Woo Bin gave
Aiman ssi his jacket and helps puts it on her while she just smiles.” “Do you
think they’re dating?” It totally made his anger level from a hundred to a
thousand. It should’ve been ME dating her! Not Woo Bin! He said to
himself. After his last shoot, he left the set instantly with the van, leaving
Aiman at the set with no transport to go back home.
************************************************************************************
I just don’t get him. Why all of a
sudden he left me here alone? He was the first person to insist me to use the
van as a transport in the first place but now? All I could do next is to walk
by foot to the bus stop that I saw
earlier. While walking along the road, more and more gusts of wind was
blowing making me feel numb in the face.
PIN! PIN!. The sound scared me to death that my heart almost fell down to my
knee. I turned around, it was Woo Bin. “Thanks but no thanks. I don’t need a
ride home” I said instantly. “Yah, what are you talking about? I just want my
jacket back” he said. “But… it’s cold…” I said with a low tone and he just
laughs. “Come on. Get inside unless you want to go back home; tired and cold” I
got inside as soon as he said that. I stayed quiet for the rest of the journey.
I tried keeping my eyes open from the drowsiness but I would just hurt myself.
My head would suddenly sway to the side and hit the door really hard. Woo Bin
just laughs while looking at my attitude. “Just sleep already, I can’t focus
driving if your head keeps making that loud noise” he said sarcastically. I
just followed his orders and slept right away.
************************************************************************************
An unfamiliar car drove
into the parking area of the apartment. Minho just got home from going to the
park to take a stroll. He got the shock of his life when he saw Aiman and Woo
Bin in the car together. He saw her sleeping and Woo Bin woke her up gently.
Woo Bin was smiling; looking at Aiman who just woke up from a deep sleep. She
got out of the car and thanked Woo Bin before walking away. She’s coming to
Minho’s direction. He panicked. He didn’t want her to know that he was spying
on them the whole time. He quickly jumps between the bushes beside the entrance
to the apartment. Suddenly, his pants tore at the knee when it got stuck to one
of the twigs in the bushes. The sound of the pants getting torn was so loud
that anyone near could hear it instantly but it seems that she was half asleep
because she almost kicked a pot of flowers. Minho’s quick hands prevented that
by shifting it away from her foot. She just entered the apartment like nothing
had happened as if she was sleep walking. Minho stood up from where he was
hiding and turned around to see Woo Bin still at the parking area observing him
from afar.
