From the Soul to the Song
Side Story ?: Harmony of the Watchers
Verse Zero
Minho was glad that he had been the first to arrive at the meeting place they had chosen just outside of Seoul. For some reason it made him feel better to know that the area where the other boys would be arriving was secure. Despite being only eleven years old, he walked the perimeter of the small hill searching for any signs of trouble. When he found none, he settled on the top of the hill to await the arrival of the others.
Jinki was first, smiling shyly as he climbed up the hill. Even though he was the oldest, at age thirteen, he was by far the quietest of all of boys that would be showing up. He settled by Minho and they exchanged nods and small comments about their trips.
Jonghyun and Kibum arrived nearly simultaneously, chatting loudly as the climbed the hill. At twelve and eleven respectively, they were full of boyish energy that Jonghyun’s short run and Kibum’s long bus ride to the location had done nothing to dispel. They greeted the other pair happily and immediately sprawled on the ground continuing their conversation.
By the time Taemin appeared, Minho was getting anxious. He had discovered shortly after he had met all of the boys, that being apart from them for any length of time left him feeling worried and anxious. There was nothing he could do to change those feelings except for meeting up with the other boys and proving to himself that they were fine. He breathed a sigh of relief when Taemin jogged up the hill and stood panting before them.
“Sorry, I had to clean my room before I could leave,” Taemin panted out.
“It’s alright,” Jinki told the nine year old with a smile.
“I can’t stay long,” Kibum declared suddenly. “My family thinks that I am at a friend’s house. If they check and I’m not there I’m in big trouble and it is a long trip back home.
Jinki nodded. “We just needed to talk about what we should do now.” He left out the part where Minho had called him nearly frantic with worry about all the boys and needing to be sure they were safe. Minho pulled his legs up to the chest and tried not to look embarrassed at his unreasonable fear. He was glad that Jinki was taking charge of their little gathering, as the oldest the boy had naturally been deferred to as leader by the younger boys.
“We need to stay together,” Minho burst out a moment later.
Jonghyun laughed. “Yeah we might want too. I like being able to see myself in the mirror and not something creepy.”
Taemin picked up a rock and tossed it into the air. “Are we going to stay together forever?” he asked. Jinki bit his lip in consideration.
“Yes,” Minho answered. “We are only safe when we are together.”
“How are we going to do that?” Jonghyun asked. “We don’t live next door or anything.”
“We will just have to work at the same place when we are older, and try to get into the same school,” Jinki reasoned. “We could all work in the same company when we get older.”
Kibum scoffed at that. “That is boring. I’m not going to do that with my life.”
“Me either!” Taemin agreed.
“Then what do you want to do?” Jinki asked him.
“I want to dance like H.O.T!” Taemin declared, jumping up and beginning to dance one of his favorite dances. Kibum and Jonghyun jumped up moments later to join him.
Minho smiled as he watched them. “That would keep us together.”
“And it would be a lot more interesting,” Jinki agreed. “What if we don’t all make it? What if we aren’t all in the same group?”
“Don’t worry. We will be,” Minho reassured him. His eyes flashed bright green for a minute and Jinki’s face crinkled in response.
“It’s so strange when you do that.”
“Sorry,” Minho said with an apologetic look.
“Hyung!” Taemin declared excitedly as he bounded to where they were sitting. “Are we going to become singers like H.O.T?”
“Are we going to become part of SM?” Kibum echoed.
“Yeah sure. Let’s do that. Let’s become singers,” Jinki agreed.
There was a cheer from the younger boys and the three resumed dancing and singing. Minho watched them and smiled. As long as the five of them could stay together, he was sure they would be alright.
AN: As you can see this side story would be about SHINee. It would trace how they discovered their powers and the events that lead up to their working with the Ensouled. Basically it would answer a good number of questions about them.
