whatever you say, jerk (SHINee Fanfic)

Chapter 6

niko pov

So we've just finished performing out debut single "This is ALPHA-K" and now we were just backstage waiting for manager oppa to tell us what to do next.... Apparantly we might have an interview with the mc's about our next move but at the moment I'm not really into it. I kind of just want to go home. I've been feeling so sick these past few days its terrible. Been coughing and sneezing and vomiting the whole enchilada. I had to lip sync today because my throat couldn't handle my usual high notes.

When two hands covered my eyes. I sighed.. Not this shiet again.

"Hyun Joong-oppa."

"Nope."

"Onew-oppa?"

"Nope."

WTF?! Who is it?!

I spun around to find myself staring at Jonghyun of Shinee. He smiled at me and I raised an eyebrow at him confused. A few cameras not so far off were taking pictures of us. A camera crew was in here as well shooting footage of us.

This is going to be all over the internet tomorrow. Niko, the only girl of ALPHA-K and Shinee's Jonghyun. Are they dating?!

"Oh hey," I said confused.

"You have nothing going on later right?"

"I-"

"NO SHE DOESN'T!" Jae shouted from where he was standing with Amber and the rest of ALPHA-K. I laughed. Jonghyun smiled and took my hand pulling me somewhere more private. I felt awkward. He's been holding my hand a lot more recently as if at every chance he has he'll try to hold it.

"Geez I thought we'd never lose them." He said after a while looking behind him. I grinned to find the cameras not following us anymore. What's so important he had to take us somewhere private?

"Well that's paparazzi for ya."

"Erm... look. I don't need you to be my fake girlfriend anymore..." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. I suddenly felt a pain in my chest. Why do I feel pain in my chest?

"Oh right.... yeah that's ok.. You didn't have to say that though... I'm not seventeen yet. And we weren't even doing the plan yet." I shrugged smiling sheepishly.

"I know, but I feel like such a jerk. You know after everything I said to you when we were kids and everything. The whole plan and shit.... and I just wanted to tell you face to face." He apologised.

"Dude it's fine. I don't really care."

LIES LIES LIES

YOU DO CARE

I do?

YES YOU DO!

WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR HEART IS HURTING SO MUCH?!

"Can we just be friends?" Jonghyun asked with a sheepish smile. I nodded and left him there on the spot by himself.

How could I be so stupid.

How could I let myself fall for him.

for the love of everything good-

"Niko! Niko!"

You'd think I would have taken the hint. Of course he wouldn't want to go out with me-

wait why am I thinking of him going out with me?!

I ignored him of course though. I don't want to show him the sadness sketched across my face.

Jonghyun caught up with me, a smile was on his face and he shoved his hands in his pockets. He's just another guy. Another guy who doesn't want anything to do with you.. Nothing different.
