Happily Never After

Chapter 4

It's been a month since I first met the SHINee guys and we've become inseparable since. I spent most of my time with them, unless they had their schedules but I have even been to a few of them with Tae. They introduce me as SHINee Noona and every time they do it gives me a good feeling inside. I have developed feelings for all of them, and every day I spent with them my feelings grew stronger. I had a feeling in the back of my mind that this wouldn't end well, but for now I let the thought go.

"Guys quiet. Kinzie's still sleeping." I heard voices as I slowly started to wake up. The clock on my side table read 7:15 and I groaned. The boys had a problem with letting me sleep in. My door opened and Tae and Minho came in, not worrying about being quiet. I slammed my blankets over my face, but they were ripped away, the cold air attacking my legs and arms. I whined and turned to face the wall, running my hands along my arms to try and conserve some warmth.

"Kinzie get up. Key made you breakfast." I just scooted closer to the wall. I felt a weight on the bed and saw Jonghyun sitting there. I closed my eyes hurriedly, but he started to tickle me, causing me to jump up and stop him.

"Oh good you're up." He said sarcastically, walking out of the room. I looked at Tae and held my arms out, signaling that I wanted to be carried. He rolled his eyes but picked me up and carried me to the dining room. He sat down and put me on his lap, and I snuggled up to him, feeling the effects of waking up too early.

"Awww look at the tired Noona." Onew said, as he brought out food and set it on the table. Tae pinched my cheeks and I swatted his hand away.

"I'm mad at you guys. A girl needs her sleep."

"But I made a special breakfast just for you Sweetness." Key demanded, trying to look hurt. I eyed the food suspiciously and then sat up. I took a bite and rolled my eyes in delight. Key really could cook.

"Ok Key oppa, all is forgiven. But don't call me sweetness." the boys all had different nicknames for me, and each one is as bad as the last. Tae called me cupcake. Jonghyun called me Little princess. Onew's was Kinzie Kat, Key's sweetness, and Minho's Bunny.

"Yeah Key don't call my Bunny sweetness." Minho mocked. I huffed and threw my fork at him, but he caught it with ease. It became silent while I finished my food, but it was comfortable. Tae's phone started vibrating in his pocket and I got off of him so he could answer it. When he got finished with the call he looked at us.

"We have an interview today." I groaned.

"But I thought today was your day off."

"It was supposed to be. I guess it was just a last minute thing." I frowned and pushed my food away from me.

"Awe Princess don't be sad. Why don't you come with us?"

"Will it be OK?"

"I'm sure it will. Besides, it's time for the world to meet our Noona." Taemin interjected. I smiled and jumped up. I ran to my bathroom to get ready.

"Ah boys you're here." A man in a black suit greeted as we entered the tent where the interview would be held. He stopped me and gave me a glance, "and who is this." Key grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him.

"This is Kinzie Noona. She's gonna sit along in the interview. We were gonna hang out with her but we got called for this interview." His glare got colder.

"Just make sure she shuts up during the interview. We don't need her embarrassing us." He walked away with a sneer and I felt Key's grip tighten on me.

"Don't worry about him Sweetness. He's always that way." He kissed my forehead and smiled, "now you ready to go embarrass us?" I giggled and nodded. He led me to a trailer and led me inside. I instantly covered my eyes as I saw Taemin, Onew, and Jonghyun in their briefs, changing into different outfits. I screamed and all heads turned to face me.

"Sorry. sorry. I'll just go now." I screeched as I hurried out of the trailer and onto the set. I saw a few people laughing at me, but I was too focused on what I just saw.

"Ok and we're on in 3...2...1" The cameras started rolling as me and the guys sat down on the chairs on the set. "Everybody" was playing as the host introduced his guest for his show. He shook their hands and gave me a curious glance as he shook mine. We all sat down and settled down as the QnA started.

"So we're here with SHINee, and it seems that they have brought a friend with them. What's your name sweetie?" My throat felt parched but I managed to find my voice.

"Kinzie."

"What a lovely name. What are you doing here with these talented young men?"

"She's our best friend. We had plans with her today that got ruined so we just brought her along for the interview." Jonghyun explained. I looked down at my feet and could feel my nerves getting the best of me. Key gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. The interview went on and he didn't ask me anymore questions, until the last few minutes.

"We've talked about the boys now I'd like to ask you something. Is that OK?" I nodded and he continued, "Which of these fine young boys would you consider being a couple with?" I was taken aback by the question and I couldnt give an answer because I had never really thought of it. I had feelings for all of them.

"Well... I would... I don't know." I said in exasperation, "I guess it would depend."

"And what would it depend on?"

"Who likes me. I doubt they do in that way, I mean just look at me. But if they did, I would think I would be a cute couple with the one who likes me."

Jonghyun's P.O.V.

"Who like me. I doubt they do in that way, I mean just look at me. But if they did, I would think I would be a cute couple with the one who like me." I stared in shock at Kinzie as she answered the question. How could she think that we don't like her. We all did. I think we were all hoping she would say that she would look good with us, but nothing like what she said. I shared a glance with Taemin and I could tell that he was as shocked as I was.

"Well thanks for answering some questions for us Kinze. And thanks boys, we'll see you next time." We all stayed still until the camera crew gave the OK for us to move. Kinzie was the first to get up, followed by the rest of us. She was hurriedly walking away but I grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Do you really think that we don't like you?" I asked, not even wasting time. She just looked down. I tightened my grip on her arm slightly, "Kinzie we won't be mad, just answer the question."

Kinzie's P.O.V.

"Kinzie we won't be mad, just answer the question." Jonghyun said sternly, his grip on my arm tightening a bit. I could feel tears pricks my eyes as they all stared at me. I didn't know what to say. I felt like anything I said could ruin our friendships and I didn't want that.

"Why would you like me? I'm just an ordinary girl. You could have any girl you want. Actresses, movie stars, singers. Why would you like me?" I said. I tried to hold back the tears but the reality of what I said made it impossible.

"Why wouldn't we? You're one of the most amazing people we know." Taemin said, reaching for my hand. I laughed.

         "Yeah right. I'm about appealing as a dead rat." I ripped my arm out of Jjong's grip an ran away from them. I heard their footsteps following me, but my ten years of track paid off and I out ran them. I ran out of the building and out into the streets. I hurriedly dodged a few cars before running all the way to my sisters apartment. as soon as I opened the door I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. I flopped into my bed and finally allowed myself to sob as nobody was around to hear it.
