Chapter 24: Weekly Idol - Gifts?!

It is almost the end of the episode of Weekly Idol. When they bring out five boxes. I clap my hands and smile.

"We have one box for each of you." Sin Young says, "They have your names on them. You can open them and see what they are, but before you receive them, you have to do something!"

We all sigh and the MCs laugh. They hand out the boxes and we all look at each other.

Onew starts to count down, "3... 2... 1!"

We all open the boxes and I see a beautiful purple microphone sitting in black velvet. I cover my mouth. This is so beautiful.

I take it out of the box. I lift it in my hand. It has a good weight, its light and its beautiful. I look over at Taemin who has a pastel yellow microphone.

Onew has a red microphone.

Minho has a blue microphone.

Finally, Key has a beautiful pink microphone.

"Before you get to take them home, we have a challenge." Shin Young says, I look at my microphone and push it to my face, "(Y/n)ssi is already attached!" They all start laughing.

"What is the challenge?" Minho asks, he seems so determined to win his microphone.

"You have to sing and dance to 'Good Evening'." Sang Min says as the crew takes out five chairs.

We get to our spots after making sure the microphones worked. The song starts and Taemin starts to sing. I'm sitting in my chair. We're in the second last chorus of the song, I have a high note here, Onew used to sing it but he thought it would song better if it was higher.
I am now standing in the middle of the semicircle and I belt the note out. I hold it for as long as I can before they all start singing again. I hear Shin Young and Sang Min clapping in the distance.

The song finally ends and I put the purple microphone up to my forehead. Minho starts punching the air and screaming. We're all so happy.

"Congratulations! You get to keep the microphones and use them on your next tour!" Shin Young says, "Thank you SHINee for coming today!"

We all bow and wave to the cameras. I flick a finger heart to the cameras and the boys follow me. Taemin then decides to kiss my cheek. We then run off the stage.

We all start to scream and hold up our microphones. We head back to the green room and we start to take off the makeup.

"(Y/n)-ah..." Minho says.

"Why do you use the honorifics on me? I'm not Korean..." I say wiping the lipstick off.

"I think it's cute." Onew says laughing.

"Yes, it is sweet." Minho says, he struggles a bit with his English.

"Anyways, what's wrong Minhossi?" I ask turning to face him.

"Look."

He hands me his phone and I see a SHINee fan account. I see a post about me. It's an appreciation post...

I feel tears come to my eyes, I give the phone back to Minho and I turn around, "It's really sweet of them, please send that post to me." I say as my voice struggles.

"Is everyone okay?" Key asks coming up to me.

Minho is videoing with his camera, he tends to do that. Director Minho... I hear fast footsteps and then someone hugging me from behind.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Taemin asks.

"Minho showed me a really sweet Instagram post, ask him if you want to read." I say, my hands still covering my face.

"Minho, please read the post." Taemin says. He doesn't let go of me.

Minho starts to read the post. Reading in English is not a problem for him. But speaking it without a prompt is.

Taemin spins my chair around, "You're so sensitive." He says laughing as he wipes a tear with his thumb.

"I know, I can't help it..."

"I know." He presses my head against his chest.
