I close my eyes and feel the cool night breeze. It’s a little too cool, I find myself shivering uncontrollably. Maybe I should’ve put on that one extra sweater Key threw at me as I ran out of the house. I opened my eyes and looked at the fountain that was located in the middle of the park. It was the place we first met. You called and wanted to meet with me. It’s been weeks since we last spoke, ever since you saw the picture on the news of me and Yuri. I had been calling you and tried to explain the situation- that nothing had happened and it was a misunderstanding, but you haven’t answered your phone or let me inside your apartment after I had gone through so much trouble to disguise myself and even take time away that I should’ve been using to sleep to try and contact you.
As soon as I saw your name on my caller id, I jumped out of bed and answered it. I laughed lightly at remembering how I flew out of my bed and landed on Onew, and how Key was the one to wake up instead and yelled at me for being too loud, which woke up everyone. Except Onew. And when Key realized who I was talking to, he helped me get my coat and everything even though I was already halfway out the door when you told me to meet here.
I walked over to the fountain and sat on the edge. I glanced over and looked at my reflection in the water. I remembered the first day we met. I was sitting down here, like I am now, waiting for my hyungs to come so we could play soccer, and then you came by. You were rollerskating back and forth between the fountain and a bench, quite sloppily. I got up to move away a bit since you were getting closer and I didn’t want to get in your way, when suddenly to kids ran by with a soccer ball, and made you lose your balance, I tried to catch you before you fell into the fountain, but you grabbed onto me, and you were going so fast I lost balance and we both ended up falling into the fountain. You felt so bad afterwords, and apologized several times, but it was so hot that day it was actually refreshing after we got out of the fountain.
The second time we met, it was at a ramen shop. You worked there as a waitress. I remember when you saw me, your eyes widened and you called me “Fountain Boy” at the same as a fan shouted “Minho!” and asked for my autograph. You had a confused expression on your face, and while giving me my order, you quietly asked “Are you a celebrity?” I was a bit surprised when you said you never heard of SHINee, especially being of the same age you might’ve heard a little about us in school.
After that day, I found myself going to that ramen shop more often, most of the time disguised so that it wouldn’t attract the attention of the media and such. We ended up becoming good friends and exchanged numbers, and one day I invited you to watch us perform at Music bank. It was then that I realized that I had some kind of feelings for you, when I couldn’t stop thinking of what you thought of us, SHINee, but more importantly, what you thought of me. If you were watching me on stage, I gave it my all to make the performance great, even though it wasn’t a special show or anything, I found my heart beating fast when you came backstage and gave me a tight hug, whispering in my ear how I did a great job. Those small words affected me so much, even though they normally wouldn’t. The week before SHINee’s 1st concert in Seoul is when I finally confessed to you. You didn’t know what to say, you weren’t sure what to say. I understood that you were confused, especially with me being a celebrity. You saw what happened with Jonghyun and Sekyung, how much hatred they were shown for a period of time, and even though fans had forgiven Jonghyun, they still showed resentment towards Sekyung, and you weren’t sure if you could be as strong as her. I gave you tickets for our concert, and said you didn’t have to give me and answer until you were ready.
The day of our concert… I had started the day anxious and unsure of myself, but I went to the stadium with my members, and there you were, VIP pass in hand and a huge smile on your face. You told me you were watching, and you told me you knew I would do great. I was more confident than ever. Even if you didn’t give me an answer, or if you didn’t like me back, I knew you were going to watch me, and support me no matter what. Towards the end of our concert, I finally found you in the crowd, and your eyes were on me. There were tears in your eyes, and once you had my eye contact you lifted up a sign. Tears formed in my eyes as I read it. ”I like you, Choi Minho.” Adding with the emotions of this being our first concert in Korea, I held in my tears until I saw Key and Jonghyun crying. I let it all out after that.
I wasn’t able to see you again for the next few days, my schedule was so jam packed that I barely had time to sleep. One day after a radio show, I decided to make time to see you, since I wanted to confirm your feelings, but every time I tried to text you or call my hands would go numb. I finally managed to send you a text, and we met at this very place, the fountain, and that was where we officially became a couple.
I looked at my reflection in the water once more. All our times together, the ups and the downs, I would never trade them for anything. I would give everything to be with you again. I felt my eyes starting to water and I took a deep breath. Suddenly I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I froze until I felt a head rest on my back. I recognized you right away, the top of your head just missed being at the same height as my shoulder. I turned around to see your tear-streaked face. Worry took over as I placed my hand on you cheek and asked what was wrong. You shook you head as fresh tears began to fall.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m stupid.” you said, sobbing. I’ve never seen you cry like this. I lifted your chin up so I could look into your eyes. “I wanted to see how long I could last without you. I wanted to test myself. But instead I hurt you for no reason when you did nothing wrong. I’m so sorry.” You sobbed. I could just barely make out what you said. It took a few seconds for me to register what you said, and once I did, a glimmer of hope shined in me.
“So you’re not breaking up with me because of Yuri?” I asked, too make sure. You shook your head.
“I knew it was a misunderstanding. I’m sorry.” I wrapped my arms around her, a wave of relief coming over me.
“It’s ok. Really.” I said, and she pulled back, looking into my eyes.
“Really? You’re not going to break up with me for doing that?” I smiled at her, and pretended to think hard.
“It depends… did you lose?”
“Huh?”
“Were you able to live without me? Because if you’re not then I would be responsible for your death…” A smile came on your face, like I hoped, and you nodded your head.
“I lost” you said. You stood up on your tip toes and gave me a light kiss. “I can’t live without you.” I smiled, bending down and stopped inches in front of your lips.
“Me either” I replied, kissing you deeply.
There’s nothing like being with you. Here. Tonight, and for the rest of my life.
