...
Wait a minute before you tell me anything
How was your day?
'Cause I been missing
You by my side, yeah
SHINee had just finished one of their concerts tour in Japan and they were currently on their way back to the hotel. Kibum smiled as he saw Jinki’s happy grin with his phone pressed to his ear. He could guess who the older male was calling.
Jinki smiled even wider as he heard his phone call being answered. “Hi.. How’s-”
“I miss you..” he interrupted. There was a slight pause and Jinki could almost see the lovely smile the person he was talking to was wearing as she giggled over the line.
“I miss you too.. Have you been eating well?” Jinki nodded but then he chuckled when he realized she could not see him.
“I bet you just nodded, didn’t you oppa?” Jinki nodded again and the girl burst out laughing at his silence. That’s what Jinki liked about her. She understood him well.
“I hope you’re not eating too much chicken, Jinki oppa~”
Jinki laughed out loud at her teasing and they finally fell into their usual conversation about school and exams and what not. Yes, Lee Jinki of SHINee was dating a high school girl.
Kibum just shook his head at his leader’s adorkable self and turned his attention to the blonde boy sleeping on his shoulder. Thank God, we’re together..
Did I awake you out of your dream?
I'm sorry but I couldn't sleep
You calm me down
There's something about the sound of your voiceMinho settled onto his bed and wrapped the thick blanket around his torso. He tossed and turned but sleep seemed to elude him. With a heavy sigh, he grabbed his phone and quickly dialed the number he memorized by heart.
On the fifth ring, his call was finally answered.
“Hey baby..” he greeted the person on the other line cheerfully.
“Umpf..”
Minho grinned at the sound.
“Sorry.. did I wake you?” but sorry was far from what he was feeling as he pictured the image of his girlfriend wrapped up in her blanket with only the head peeking out from under the covers.
“Mmpf.. I’m up.. I’m up..” he heard her say and he laughed.
“Sing for me..”
“What?” came the sleepy reply.
“Just sing.. please..?” Minho added childishly. He could hear her clear her throat on the other side and then sweet soothing voice filled his right ear and he snuggled against the pillows as he listened to her.
A few minutes later, there was complete silence as the girl finished the last notes of the song. She kept quiet, knowing Minho was fast asleep and she laughed when a soft snore could be heard.
“Goodnight, Minho..”
I, I, I, I never, never, never
As far away as it may seem no
Soon we'll be together
We'll pick up right where we left off“Why is it so quiet over there? Is everyone asleep?”
Jonghyun looked around his shared room with Minho and Jinki. Both of them were fast asleep. Jinki was buried under the thick hotel blanket while Minho was snoring softly with his phone next to his head on the pillow. He turned back to his laptop screen and smiled at her. “Yeah..”
“You should sleep too, Jjong. I bet it’s late there..”
“But I wanna sp-”
“We’ll talk more when you come back.. okay?”
Knowing his girlfriend was right, Jonghyun sighed in defeat and relented.
“Okay. Okay. Fine. But when I come back, I expect us not sleeping at all since we have lots of catching up to do… among other things..” Jonghyun wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and she burst out laughing at his words.
“Take care, Jjong.. I love you..”
Jonghyun grinned crazily as his girlfriend gave him a flying kiss through the camera and the net. He lifted a hand to catch the kiss and brought it to his heart.
“I love you too.”
Paris, London, Tokyo
It's just one thing that I gotta do
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone
Hello, tuck you in every nightTruth be told, Taemin was actually in awe and quite envious of his hyungs. They had amazingly lovable and understanding girlfriends and they were loyal to each other. Their girlfriends were very strong in a sense that they stood their ground and took all the bashings SHINee’s fans and antifans threw at them without so much as a complain. Taemin shivered at the thought of being bashed and alienated from the rest of the norm. Taemin was, afterall, different. He was gay. And just the thought of what his parents would do to him if they ever find out was enough to make his heart speed in a bad way.
“Tae.. go to sleep..” Taemin heard the soft whisper accompanied by the curling of an arm around his waist. It was enough to make his every single fear disappear.
Taemin turned to the owner of the voice and nuzzled his nose against the column of his partner’s neck. Taemin felt a pair of warm soft lips on his forehead and he looked up to see feline eyes staring at him lovingly. He smiled and snuggled against his lover’s warmth.
“Good night, Kibum hyung..”
Yes. The Almighty Key was the magnae Taemin’s boyfriend. And they always sleep tucked in together.
And I can hardly take another goodbye
Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone, woahKibum stroked Taemin’s blonde hair softly. He kissed his lover’s forehead lightly and stared at his sleeping visage. He remembered the incident two weeks ago - how Taemin demanded they slept separately just so he could feel what Minho, Jonghyun and Jinki were feeling.
Apparently, the young dancer was trying to see if he could survive a night without Kibum. Kibum complied though it sounded ridiculous to him. It did not end well. Taemin cried the whole night. Jinki had to call Kibum on his phone and asked the latter to persuade the stubborn magnae to go back to his room. That did not end well either. Taemin refused to leave the bed and threatened Kibum that he would break up with him if Kibum tried to come to his room. Kibum sighed and ended up singing through the phone until Taemin fell asleep.
The next morning, Taemin was the earliest to wake up. He wrenched his hotel door open, banged on Kibum’s door and immediately jumping and attacking Kibum with kisses on his face when the older opened the door.
“I missed you.” Taemin said with his lovely eyesmile.
“I missed you too.” Kibum replied with a nuzzle on the magnae’s nose.
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you
SHINee was on stage at yet another of their concerts. They were tired but when certain songs came up, they felt reenergized as these songs reminded them of their girls.
Jonghyun smiled when he sang “Life” as it reminded him of a certain funny girl with the warmest touch he had ever known. Jinki sang his heart out in “One” as he thought of his girlfriend; the one with long hair and cutest eyesmile he had ever seen. Minho could not stop replaying the scene when he first met his lover; the strong willed girl with the loveliest grin when he rapped to “A.Mi.Go.”
When SHINee sang “A Yo” together, they played with each other on the stage, glad they had one another throughout the years. Kibum would gaze at Taemin once in a while and held his hand as he sang to the song, trying to tell the young dancer that everything would be okay and that he loved him. Whenever the other three caught the camera, they would smile and sing towards it hoping their lovers would understand what they were trying to convey.
I miss you. Thank you for always being there.
Yes, I may meet a million pretty girls
That know my name
But don't you worry, no
'Cause you have my heartThey were singing “Ready or Not” and their eyes scanned the crowd. There were many pretty faces. Some of them rivaled those of a model and most of them were more beautiful than their girlfriends. Sometimes, Jonghyun caught the warning glare Kibum gave him when his gaze lingered a little bit too long on a certain fangirl. There were also times when Taemin would lightly touch Minho’s shoulder to snap him out of his stare on beautiful girls. The same went for Jinki.
When times like those occurred, Jonghyun, Minho and Jinki would smile reassuringly towards both Kibum and Taemin and nod in gratefulness. Sure, they were attracted to some of the pretty fangirls, but they would only look; their hearts would whisper their lover’s name in response and that made them smile.
It ain't easy to keep on moving city to city
Just get up and go
The show must go on
So I need you to be strongBy the sixth week, SHINee was cursing their fate and management. They always seemed to be in a rush and they felt suffocated and they needed to take a breather. It was getting harder for them; having to leave home for a long time and each step they took towards fame and extra exposure brought them further away from their lover. They hated it.
Times like this were what made Taemin and Kibum glad they had each other. Therefore, they did not have to know or deal with the pain of not having your loved one near you for a long time. The longest time Taemin had gone without Kibum was three nights because Kibum had gone back to his hometown for a while and it ended up with him crying for the older dancer-rapper’s presence.
Whoa, wherever the wind blows me
You're still the one and only girl on my mind
No, there ain't no one better
(Worldwide)
So always remember
(Worldwide)
Always remember, girl, you're mineSo far, SHINee had been to Paris, London, Tokyo and a few other Southeast Asia countries like Singapore and Taiwan. Their schedules were so busy that they barely had time to sleep and that was not an exaggeration. However, they always seem to make time for their precious girlfriends who kept on cheering for them, supported them from afar. Every night they would call just to say hello, even if it was just 5 seconds, it was enough for them to know that they were there.
Today was the day SHINee was going back home. The return was made a secret so that nobody could ruin the surprise they had in store for their girlfriends.

Jonghyun slipped into his girlfriend’s house with ease. He saw her in the kitchen, her shoulders slumped slightly while she stirred the pot. He watched as she kept on stirring while her fixing her stare on a particular photo of them stuck to the kitchen cabinet. Jonghyun could see the sadness in her eyes and when she sighed, his heart clenched. He took a step forward. Sensing his presence, she whirled around and her eyes grew large when she saw him. Tears sprung into her eyes as Jonghyun locked her in a tight embrace. A single tear fell when he kissed her lips but Jonghyun wiped it dry. They stared into each other’s eyes, foreheads resting against the other’s and lips curled in a smile.
“I’m back.” Jonghyun breathed with a soft kiss on her lips.
She laughed and jumped on him. He caught her and bit her chin lightly. She turned slightly to turn off the stove and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, earning a loud laugh from Jonghyun.
Jinki knocked on the door with a silly smile plastered on his face. He was nervous. He was excited. He kept fidgeting and stared at the locked door expectantly. How will she react? When the door opened, he got his answer. He was greeted with a teary eyed girl who jumped on him when he took a step forward, offering her the flowers he brought for her. Jinki swung her around in a small circle, chuckling as she nuzzled his neck, the flowers crushed between their bodies but neither cared. When their lips met in a soft kiss, nothing else mattered.
“I miss you.” Jinki whispered.
She cupped his face between her hands and pressed a soft kiss on his forehead, having to tiptoe to reach him. Jinki wrapped his strong arms around her frame and rested his cheek on her head while she rested her head on his chest.
Minho entered his girlfriend’s bedroom slowly and silently. He saw her curling up on her bed in a fetal position. Even in the dark, he could see her cheeks were stained with dried tears. His chest tightened as he saw his and their couple pictures scattered on the bed. His eyes softened when he saw her wearing his old jersey. He pushed the pictures aside and climbed onto the bed, wrapped her in his arms and buried his nose in the crook of her shoulder. He felt her stir and when a pair of thin arms found themselves around him, he knew she was awake. He kissed her shoulder and he was rewarded with a sniffle and a chuckle.
“I’m home.” Minho said in his baritone voice.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her on top of him. She tilted her head upwards and cracked her eyes open to look at him. He kissed her temple, she hummed and closed her eyes back in response. He smiled and fell asleep with her on him.
Taemin and Kibum? Let’s just say they had the dorm all to themselves and they decided they had been gone too long from the place that they had to be reacquainted with the place - together. When they finally made it to the bedroom, they were too tired and agreed to call it a night. Taemin fell asleep to Kibum’s steady heartbeat. To the world, Key was the diva and umma of SHINee, but to Taemin, Kibum was his everything - his heart and his world, his universe.
“I love you, Tae..”
When Taemin heard those whispered words coming from none other than his lover himself, he could not help but grin and reply with a sleepy I love you too.
Though TaeKey had each other no matter where they went to, they were never far from each other’s thoughts, similar to how Jonghyun, Jinki and Minho never strayed from thinking about the girl who was sleeping in their arms that night.
