Accidentally.. (Choi Minho Love Story) ♥ (MAJOR RE-EDITING)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

~Lyn's pov~

Kathleen was acting really nice for the rest of the week. She made me breakfast, polished ny shoe and didn't even disturb me whenever I sleep. She said it's all an act of gratitude, to thank me for buying her vip tickets for the concert.

I can tell she was pretty excited. One night, as I was lulling myself to sleep, I could hear her giggle silently on her bed. When I silently checked up on her, I saw she was browsing INFINITE photos on her phone. "Go to sleep," I said as I threw a pillow at her face.

To be honest, I can somewhat relate to her before. I used to giggle and fangirl about SHINee a lot but after meeting and being left by Minho, I just felt like taking a break. I resumed fangirling about them last year but it wasn't as much as before, especially towards Minho. I even think Onew became my new bias hahaha.

But still, the thought of seeing Minho again made me feel nervous, even if I'll be just a person in the crowd. I wonder if he still remembers me. I wonder if he still likes me.

Kathleen woke me up at 8am. "Rise and shine! We have a concert to attend."

What the hell? "It's 8am in the morning," I grunted.

"So?"

My mouth hang open. I cannot believe this girl. Didn't she know it's illegal to wake me up so early in the morning?! "So? So shut the hell up and let me sleep! The concert doesn't start til 8 in the evening." I grabbed my pillow and placed in on my head, shutting of the light and sound of day.

"You don't know much about concerts okay? So you'll be following me," Kathleen said as she grabbed my pillow and removed it from my head. "Get up and shower already! You smell like work and stress."

Aish, this girl. I swear, if she wasn't my friend and I didn't love her, I would've already killed her.

"Okay okay. Fine!" I grunted. Kathleen said something like "'atta girl!" as she helped me get up and walk towards the bathroom.

I saw she was already dressed. Aish, this girl is the earliest bird I know. I groaned as she patted my back. "Wash well for SHINee," she said before shutting the bathroom door.

Upon entering the bathroom, my morning self greeted me on the mirror. I looked tired and stressed; I blame Kathleen for waking me up so early!

I opened the sink and washed my face. Wash well for SHINee, she said. If only she knew I'm still having second thoughts on attending the concert.

Aish, Choi Minho, I sighed. You're making my first concert hard.

The venue still wasn't packed when we reached it. Why would it be, considering we're 3 hours early!

"Relax, Lyn." Kathleen assured me. "This is great! We don't have to wait in line."

"Yeah," Yu agreed. "I hate waiting in line." Seriously, I can see how these two became bestfriends.

Jae offered me a Cloud 9 when he saw me doing my best to be cool. I can't help it. I feel nervous and excited and annoyed and bored at the same time. I hate going to an event this early when I don't even have anything to spare my time with. "No thanks," I gave a short smile at him.

"Are you excited to see SHINee, Lyn?" Kathleen grinned at me like a maniac. It's making me feel weird, her acting like this whenever SHINee's our topic when she doesn't even know my past with Minho.

"No," I answered with a straight face. "I'd rather be sleeping at my bed this time of the day."

Kathleen's smile didn't disappear. "You know what would made our day better?" I shot an eyebrow up at her. "Talking face-to-face with our bias!"

Okay, she lost me. "What the hell are you talking about, Kath?"

She groaned and rolled her eyes before pointing towards our company I.D. "We're doing a story about Kpop, Lyn! We could go backstage and interview them!"

My eyes widened. She seriously lost her mind. "You seriously lost your mind," I told her. "You can't go in there!"

"Of course, I can!" she said with a final tone. "Are you coming or what?" I shook my head. No way was she gonna drag me into another mess again. She shrugged, "suit yourself," before walking towards the backstage door.

I snorted, "She's kidding, right?" I turned to Yu and Jae and saw them looking at Kathleen with envy and amusement.

I turned back to Kathleen, hoping to see the security guards blocking her way inside. I gawked when I saw the guards let her inside. She disappeared behind the doors with a smile, like it was the simplest thing to do! What the hell was going on?

After doing a few thinking, I've come to realize that maybe Kath was just messing with me. She can't go to INFINITE's room alone. Heck, she can't even go to a public restroom alone! I suspect she's probably just hiding behind those doors, waiting for me to come after her so she could drag me into this stupid plan of hers.

Not gonna fell for your trap, Kathleen, I smirked. I sat back down and mentally patted my back, congratulating myself for not falling for Kathleen's trick once more. I grabbed a bag of chips from my bag and started to eat, assuring myself that Kathleen's just messing with me.

An hour passed and Kathleen's still not back. If she was really just messing with us, she should've gone back by now.

I'm suddenly not sure about this whole trap-thing I thought. I've come to decide that maybe it's time I go check up on her.

I turned to Yu and Jae and saw them doing their best to pass the time. Yu was deeply asleep while Jae was fumbling with his phone. I told him I'm going after Kathleen and he asked if I needed any help.

"No thanks," I gave him a short smile before walking towards the backstage door.

I was surprised when the guards let me pass without any hassle. It was even easier than I thought. But what wasn't easy was the backstage itself.

This place is a maze! It wasn't like what I always thought backstages look like. I could easily get lost in this place!

I started walking without even knowing where to go. I turned a couple of times til I lost track of where I came from. This place got me dizzy! I don't know if I should turn left or right or just walk straight ahead. Why did I even come here?

Finally, after a few more turns without the success of finding Kathleen, I gave up. I leaned on the wall and fished for my phone as I slowly catch my breath-yes, exploring this place really drained me. Kathleen's really gonna pay for this.

I decided to first express my annoyance at Kathleen through text, all caps lock;

To: Kathleen

GODDAMNIT WHERE ARE YOU?! YOU'RE SOOO DEAD. I GOT LOST IN THIS STUPOD BACKSTAGE ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! WAIT TIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU.

I was about to press send when I heard a voice from the other side of the wall; "You're eating chicken again? Don't you ever get full?"

My eyes widened as I realized whose voice that was. I cannot be mistaken: that's Kim Kibum's voice. But how?

I looked up at the sign placed on the door and my jaw nearly dropped. SHINee. Out of all the walls I could've leaned on, why does it have to be SHINee's?

I can't believe this. I shouldn't have come here. I shouldn't have come to this concert. I shouldn't have accepted that offer and went to Korea. This was all a mistake. I'm still not ready to face Choi Minho.

As silently as I could, I quickly walked away from their room. I can't believe I was so oblivious, I wanna smash my head on the wall.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Four steps.

I was on my fifth step when the door suddenly burst open and I froze. Just my luck.

"Miss?" said a voice and I didn't dare to look.
