Turning Back the Time {Two-Shots (SHINee Lee Taemin)}

The First Chapter

Shekinah gasps for an air as she wakes up from her sleep. She is having a bad dream—no, a nightmare. She gets up from her bed and walks towards her room’s window. She can still see the moon. Tears are racing from falling down from her eyes.

“Why do you have to leave me alone Lee Taemin? Why? Why did you save me instead of saving your life?” She whispers with bitterness to the wind.

Shekinah walks back towards her bed. She smiles bitterly as she turns around the hourglass that she and Taemin made 2 and half years ago. Yes… She counted the time that passed by from the time Taemin left her through using this hourglass. If only I could turn back the time…

(Flashback)

“Don’t follow me! I hate you!” She pushes away Taemin who keeps on following her as she walks towards the ship.

“Please Sheki, let me explain.” Taemin begs.

She smirks as she turns around to look at him. “Explain for what? For your other lies? Hey Lee Taemin, hajima, I saw it from my two bare eyes. I saw you kissing with your ex! If you still love her then go to her!” Shekinah unfastens his hands that are trying to stop her from boarding the ship. She takes off the ring from her ring finger. “Take this. I believe I am not the one that you want to marry with… And even your family.”

“Please, don’t do this yeobo.” Taemin releases a deep sigh to lighten the tightening of his heart. “Okay, I won’t force you to let me explain Shekinah, but please don’t go somewhere ne? Can’t you see? The weather is not good. Please? And it is already dark for you to travel.”

She rolls her eyes. “Get lost. I better die.” She turns around and walks as fast as she could so she can hide the tears on her face. Pain is reigning in her heart.

She frowns as she sees Taemin getting inside the cabin that she is occupying. She ignores him when he is about to approach her by simply walking away.

“Ya, it’s already cold here outside. Let’s get inside the room.” Shekinah glares at him when she heard it.

“Thanks, but I don’t need your concern.” She left him without waiting for his reply.

Shekinah frowns as she notices the sudden halt of the ship. “Bwoya?” She suddenly feels nervous when everyone heard a loud thump. Panic eats her when she notices the turning movement of the ship.

“Eomma… Help me.” She silently utters a prayer to God while holding firmly to the post inside the ship. She looks around, but she can’t find Taemin. Where is he?

“Taemin?!” She shouted with a frail voice, but her voice is just like a whisper since people around start to shout while calling their colleagues name. “Oppa!” She shouts as loud as she can while fear is overcoming her rational mind.
