Okay, so, uh. Um. :|
So puppycadet and I went back to the ROA location, so we could see Onew leave again. Because we're ridiculous. Except, uh. Not only did we see Onew, we also saw Minho and Key. And possibly Taemin and Joon of MBLAQ. :| (Pretty sure Jonghyun wasn't there, because they're hiding him from the world rn.) They left in two separate vans. I don't even. Ironically, my memory of all of this is awful, because the first time was really confusing because we weren't expecting to see the other SHINee members there. Then the second time was just as confusing, because I was frantically trying to get the fuck out of the way.
Last time was kind of funny, this time was just kind of awkward and embarrassing. :\
So there were two separate identical white vans there. We were confused at first, wondering if it was just a weird coincidence or if one was a decoy or something. For some reason, it never occurred to us that all of them (but Jonghyun?) might be there.
We were standing right at the top of the ramp they walk up to get to the vans. Then some people came out the back exit early. I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAMERA UP IN TIME, SO I DON'T HAVE THIS RECORDED. I honestly had no idea who the fuck they were at first, because it was dark and I didn't have my glasses. There was a lot of screaming, and I was seriously all, "Oh, random boybanders I've never heard of?" And then basically as they were passing RIGHT by me, I realized the first guy was Minho. I looked directly at him and had no idea it was him, and didn't realize until after he'd already passed. :| :| :| Then there was a super skinny guy with a long blonde bowlcut with a scarf pulled up to his nose behind Minho, who Cate and I assume was Taemin. It was really hard to tell, though. Last was Key. I looked directly at him as he was turning to go to the van. He was less than four feet away and his side profile is really unmistakable. As they got in the van, Cate and I said really weird things to them. I went something along the lines of, "You're awesome. And great. And lovely." I definitely remember saying "lovely." :| Cate was just repeating variations of "You're hot." They got in the van, and it eventually drove off.
We were basically standing directly at the top of the ramp where they walk up, leaning against the door of the second white van. We knew we were in the way, but there was seriously nowhere else to move, because it was really crowded. After even more waiting, a second group of people came out. Because we were right in front of the second van, they headed straight for us. The manager was yelling at all of us to back the fuck away. I knew I was in the way, and I was really afraid the manager would hit me. (They would never dare touch foreigners, but I don't look foreign at all, and they're certainly not going to wait for me to talk before lashing out.) I tried to move back so they could open the van door (I was leaning against the back right van door, where they got in), but it was so crowded I couldn't move. When the manager reached us, he reached out and shoved the two people directly at the front of the crowd blocking the van door backwards really hard; I was one of them. I was really frustrated about being in the way and not being able to do anything about it, so I kept repeating, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," in English. According to Cate, Onew glanced at me when he heard me say that.
As they slid open the van door, the side of it hit my arm really hard, since the crowd basically still pressed me against the side of the van. I'm pretty sure the first person in was Onew. Then the second person, whose side profile I got a really good look at, got in. ... I can't be positive, but I could've sworn the second guy was Joon. I was like, "... What?" Then more people got in, and they all drove off. Ironically, even though Onew was literally a foot away from me, I didn't get a single good look at his face, because everything was so confusing and I was really scared the manager was going to hit me. I was actually looking more at the manager than at anything else, because, seriously, I had no desire to be part of a Manager Attack.
I have a really awful fancam of the second group of people coming out, but it's basically all dark. And then it gets really blurry because I was shoved and got confused. :|
Also, I just realized that my camera doesn't record audio in the videos. So I have the entire ROA curtain call recorded, and it's all on mute. :| :| :| I suck at life.
