Naeun's POV,
As soon as the photoshoot wrapped up, I checked the time and realized I could still make it to Taemin's debut. Without a second thought, I hailed a cab, my adrenaline surging as I urged the driver to hurry.
The moment I arrived at the venue, the excitement hit me full force. The air was buzzing with anticipation, and the reality of witnessing Taemin's long-awaited debut made my heart race. I headed straight for the food truck I'd arranged, pride swelling within me at the thought of sharing the lunchboxes I had carefully prepared with Taemin and SHINee.
Spotting a man wearing a Music Bank Crew lanyard, I approached him with a hopeful smile. "Hi, I hope I'm not bothering you, but would it be possible for you to pass these lunchboxes to the SHINee members and the crew? If it's too much trouble, I understand."
His smile was warm and reassuring. "No problem at all. I'll make sure they get them."
I handed the lunchboxes over to the crew, and after thanking the food truck staff, I joined the line of fans waiting to enter the showcase hall. The atmosphere was electrifying. Fans held colorful banners and took photos, capturing every moment.
Once inside, I couldn't take my eyes off the stage, my heart pounding in sync with the growing anticipation. A sign announced that "Replay" was up next—the very song Taemin had mentioned as their debut track. A flurry of emotions stirred within me as the emcee's voice echoed across the venue and the SHINee members began making their entrance.
The lights dimmed, and the opening notes of "Replay" filled the hall. Watching SHINee pour their souls into their debut performance, I couldn't help but smile, overwhelmed with pride. Taemin's dream, years of hard work and perseverance, was unfolding right in front of me.
A single tear slipped down my cheek, a testament to the overwhelming pride and joy I felt. My gaze remained fixed on Taemin, my heart swelling with love and admiration. I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize when Taemin spotted me in the crowd.
As the cheers around me grew louder, I tried to look away—but my eyes were drawn back to him. He was making heart signs toward the crowd, and it felt like one of them was just for me. His face was lit with pride, and I couldn't help but smile back, feeling that silent, unspoken connection between us. It was like we were sharing a private moment in the midst of all the chaos.
The chants, the excitement, the energy in the room—it all felt surreal, almost dreamlike. Our eyes met again, and in that brief glance, our smiles said everything. This wasn't just SHINee's debut but it was a culmination of everything we had both endured to reach this point.
As the final notes of the song echoed through the venue and the lights dimmed, signaling the end of their performance, I felt a rush of emotions—pride, joy, excitement, and something deeper, something more personal. I exited the hall, my heart still racing, and reached for my phone. Bomi's missed calls reminded me of life outside the incredible moment I had just witnessed.
