Music Box & Dancing Doll (SHINee Taemin - Minho)
Stay with u

Taemin was on the upper terrace of the school building. The young man was waiting for someone. The break time was almost over but the signs of the person he was waiting for had not yet appeared.

Finally, when the namja began to despair and intend to go his steps suddenly stopped. The person he suspected would not come was now standing right in front of him. The person who is none other than IU.

The girl seemed surprised to see Taemin in this place. He had no idea that the young man was here either.

"I thought you were coming here." Taemin said in relief.

IU who had previously been fixated suddenly turned around and then intended to go from there until Taemin first held her back.

"What's wrong with you? I know for 3 days you've been trying to avoid me." Taemin's speech made IU re-located in her place. He did not think that the young man realized this.

During these 3 days IU always avoids every time she sees Taemin, even had missed school a day because of it. That's also why he sometimes hasn't eaten since morning, because he's afraid that if he goes to the cafeteria he'll meet the young man.

IU did not answer. The girl instead tried to let go of Taemin's grasp.

"What's that phone?! You're mad at me because I yelled at you when you dropped it?!" IU again did not answer. This began to make Taemin feel annoyed.

"Hey! You're not mute, are you?! WHY ARE YOU QUIET?!!" Taemin snapped making IU instantly choked to hear him.

Just then the bell rang making IU pull her hand and this time finally managed to escape and then leave there as soon as possible.

Taemin who had just realized what he had just done was now only able to remain silent in his place while sighing loudly

"YARRRGHHH!!" He shouted while kicking a piece of wood not far from his foot.

♥-♥-♥

The school bell rang but IU did not go home. Yeonji Songsaenim, who is none other than an English teacher, tells the girl to meet him at the office after school.

"Oh~you've come apparently. Come here!" Yeonji cried when she saw IU who had just arrived in her room.

"You know, from some of the classes I taught. You're one of the students with the lowest English scores." It made IU shy.

"Therefore, I deliberately asked someone to help you with additional tutoring at home after school."

"Additional lyrics?!" IU's repeated make Yeonji nod

"really. Additional lessons. Because it seems like this is the only way for you to change your English values. After all, the person who will teach you is a student from the 3rd grade. He's a good man, and I'm sure he can do his job well. The boy had even lived a few years in America, so he had a better experience than the others."

IU stared at her Songsaenim for a moment. "May I know, he..who?"

Yeonji had just wanted to answer until her eyes suddenly turned to the open door of the room.

"Nah~that's the guy who came. Comeoverhere...Taemin~ah"

IU's body seemed fixated immediately hearing the name that was thrown from her teacher's lips. The person who had been trying desperately to avoid but now actually stood right beside him. The world is cruel.

Taemin looked at the girl beside him who was looking down and then watched her for a moment. The next second his face turned surprised.

"You..?!"

"Eh?! Do you know each other?" Asked Yeonji who was also surprised

"I know him. But I didn't know that the IU you were referring to was this girl." Taemin. He never thought that IU turned out to be the girl who had been avoiding him all along.

"Goodoo. At least you also already know each other, it will facilitate the learning process between you. And Taemin~ah.." Yeonji's words lead to Taemin. "I'm really grateful for your help."

Taemin smiled seeing her. "It's okay, ahjum..~ah sorry.I forgot we were at school. Gwencanyo songsaenim.I'm glad to be able to help you." Hearing that Yeonji smiled widely.

The reason Yeonji asked Taemin for help was not only because Taemin had lived in America, but that was also because the young man was his own nephew. Taemin's father was his older brother.

♥-♥-♥

IU had just walked out of the school gate when someone suddenly pulled her hand and leaned against the school wall.

"YESY!! WHO ARE YOU?!!" IU cried spontaneously so surprised

"YES!! Be calm!! It's me Taemin!!" Taemin's exclamation quickly made IU instantly stop shouting.

"Aiish~jinjja!! Why are your screams so loud?! Everyone is staring at us now!" The young man said again, trying to hide his face.

IU who heard that tried to turn around to be sure. And sure enough, not only the schoolgirls but also some of the citizens who passed by were now staring in wonder at them. He could only smile awkwardly and then turn his face in shame.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?!" Said IU suddenly when she realized Taemin who had been watching her since. Honestly, he felt uncomfortable when looked at like that. Especially by this name.

"Mwo?! Ah.mianhae." Taemin quickly distracted him

Lousy.

That's the atmosphere felt by the two at this time to even talk they don't know how to.

IU who could not stand it anymore suddenly intended to go from there until Taemin again held her back.

"Wait!!" The excitement made IU forced to stop. The girl did not dare to look Taemin in the face.

"I want to apologize, about the incident on top of the school building earlier." IU was momentarily stunned to hear it. He did not expect the young man to apologize because of the incident, but after all Taemin was not an easy person to apologize to others.

"I know, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. You have done nothing wrong to me. Besides, I also want to thank you for fixing that phone.Gomawo."

"Disaster, after all, I've forgotten it too." Answer IU accordingly.

"If there's nothing to talk about anymore, I have to go." He said he intended to leave there until a car suddenly stopped in front of him. And how surprised IU when she saw the figure who is now in the car, and vice versa with that person.

"Minho!!" Taemin exclaimed at Minho who was just as if he was glued to the car.

"Hyung~how long? I was waiting for you half an hour ago!" Taemin's question brought Minho's consciousness back.

"Oh?! Mi.mianhae, I had to take care of something first." Minho is a little laid out. Honestly, he doesn't know what to do right now.

Right in front of him was now a Jieun standing together with Taemin beside him. Maybe the two of them knew each other?

"I'm sorry, I have to go." Said IU briefly then walked away from there.

"Wait on! Isn't today an extra lesson?!" Taemin exclamation made IU stop for a moment. "I have important business today, so let's start tomorrow. I promise." He said briefly then turned his body then walked quickly away from the place.

"Additional lyrics?!" Ask Minho in wonder.

Taemin nodded slowly. "Hm! Yeonji ahjumma told me to teach her because her English grades were below average."

"Taemin~ah..Do you know him?" Minho asked worriedly.

Taemin nodded again. "Of course!" His relaxed reply made Minho momentarily stunned in his place.

"He's our neighbor, hyung! The girl I told you about a few days ago. Her name is IU."

Minho breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Taemin mention IU's name instead of Jieun. But as if realizing something else, he widened his eyes again.

"Mwarago?! Neighbor?!!" Her screech made Taemin flinch a little

"Hm?! Why why?" Taemin asked in surprise

Minho seemed to think for a moment then shook his head slowly. "Aniya's. It'sit's nothing. Come inside!" His orders made Taemin glare in surprise but eventually obeyed his words.

So that's why Jieun always refused every time he intended to drive her home? Because the girl didn't want to be caught.

Minho smiled alone as he drove forward the car. He really didn't expect any of this. The world is full of surprises.

Without the young man realizing it, Taemin had just kept looking at him in wonder. This was the first time he had seen his hyung smile back to himself like now.

The same smile as when Minho started to know someone, which Taemin realized had such great meaning to him.

♥-♥-♥

Today it rained again. The bell has been ringing since then but there are still many students who remain standing in front of their room because the rain has not stopped. Some prefer to keep running home despite the rain.

IU and Taemin also stood there. This is the first day they will hold tutoring, and IU has obtained permission from the store owner in order to start her work in the afternoon.

But on condition, working hours are added for 2 hours. As for Taemin, today Minho suddenly had to take care of something on his campus, that's why he seems to have to go home alone this time.

The distance between the two was quite close, but none of them spoke a word. It was as if the two really did not know what to behave like. Seeing the rain that had not stopped, coupled with the awkwardness felt by IU, made the girl finally decide to run in the rain and intend to go to the stop.

After running for quite a long time he finally reached the stop, but his feelings suddenly did not feel good when he realized something. Some people are staring at him sharply. IU who saw it tried to find something wrong on her until finally shocked half to death when she saw her underwear which was now clearly exposed from behind the white uniform box. Instantly the girl turned her back to the people while crossing both hands on her chest.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do?!" Mumbled. Shame and fear, that's how he feels right now. He completely forgot that this school uniform is a thin fabric and even forgot to wear the thin t-shirt he used to wear inside.

While the girl was still twitching with her fear, someone suddenly covered her body from behind with a white sweater. When IU turned around, she found the person who apparently was none other than Taemin.

"Sorry the sweater's a little wet, but at least it'll help you cover it." Taemin looked ahead. IU herself was still staring at him from the side.

IU was a little surprised when she got there, today the bus looks full until some people had crowded. Probably also due to the rain. That's why IU can only stand between these people.

Knowing Taemin who still had time to get a seat made him feel a little relieved, but one thing that was regretted was that when he was intending to walk to the back, the bus suddenly began to walk back.

He was forced to stop and unfortunately the girl was standing right in front of Taemin. I don't know what he's done, until life makes him like this.

During the bus runs Taemin continues to look at IU who actually has been trying to look the other way.

"Aiish~jinjja's chat.." The whiskers of IU suddenly.

"Couldn't you stop doing that?!" Ask Taemin at last. He really can't take it anymore.

Taemin pretended to look at her in surprise.

"I why?! What are you doing, isn't I silent?" The answer is trying to evade

"Keurae. Your mouth does not speak a word, but your eyes are constantly looking at me like a lion ready to prey on his prey. You know?!" IU's speech began to growl

Taemin tried to hold back his smile. This was the first time he had seen this girl in front of him looking as furious as it was now, and somehow it felt quite pleasant to play around with her a little.

"really?! I was looking at the beautiful woman behind you, not at you. You're overconfident."His speech made IU gawk instantly. Iu turned around for a moment, and it turned out that there was a woman who was also standing behind him. He must admit that this woman is beautiful. You guys, everything's the same.

"After all, if I also want to turn to look at you, that's my business? Is there a rule that prohibits one from looking at another? It's up to me!"

IU stared at Taemin annoyed.

"You're really..." Just as the girl was intending to reply to him, the bus suddenly stopped. Apparently the bus driver had to brake suddenly because there was a small child who suddenly ran to the highway to pick up the ball. The child may be free from accidents, but another accident occurs on the bus.

IU who did not expect that the bus would stop suddenly immediately lost balance on her body and eventually fell towards Taemin and unexpectedly made the lips of the two meet each other.

Some people are now staring in surprise at them, no different from Taemin and IU. Both of them even seemed to still be in their place. IU who was aware of quickly pulled her body and intended to stand until suddenly the bus returned to walk until she fell again but this time Taemin managed to hold her body. For a few seconds the two's gazes met until finally the conscious Taemin immediately shifted his gaze as well as IU.

"You're the one sitting down." Taemin said stammered and immediately rose from his place so that IU replaced his position. When it has changed position Taemin who was confused to do what is now taking Ipod out of his bag and then start listening to music. For a moment his eyes were directed at IU who apparently looked the other way.

For some reason, it feels good to be able to keep looking at the girl. As if to remind him of a little girl who used to also like to be stared at, but suddenly stopped his habit for the sake of someone.

Someone who means a lot to him.

♥-♥-♥

She finally arrived in her room. The girl had to change clothes immediately then go to Taemin's house. It seems that from now on he has to get used to quickly changing clothes after school, it is because the lessons are scheduled by Yeonji songsaenim as much as 3 times a week.

Finally he finished changing. IU who intended to keep her wet uniform suddenly stopped her steps when she saw the music box on her study table.

"Eonnie.." He said slowly while staring at the music box in his hand.

"What am I supposed to do?I guess I won't be able to tell her the truth. I don't want to hurt her." The girl looked forward.

If only you were here, eonni.

♥-♥-♥

IU looked around her, now she was inside Taemin's house. He never thought that one day he would enter the young man's house. At first, he always tried to avoid the name and all things related to it. But the truth is this is what happened.

"Have you never been in here before?" Taemin's question made IU turn to look at him

"Mwo? Of course not yet..." Answer IU briefly

Taemin looked at him in wonder. "Jinjja?! Though the previous occupants of the house was a person who had lived here for many years."

"Indeed right. But people here rarely communicate with each other. Probably because most of them are busy people."

Taemin thought for a moment. For a few days living here he did feel this housing feels lonely, even though many houses but only a few of them are seen often walking around the complex.

The two are now studying in the living room together. Although the quiet atmosphere had enveloped the two, they did not care at all and remained focused on learning.

Based on Taemin's understanding, the main thing that is problematic for IU is the pronunciation of the word in English. That is why he told the girl to read a story in their English book to practice the correct way of pronunciation.

"Aah~ini is boring." Moaned suddenly.

Taemin looked at him in surprise.

"Mwo?! Yes~we haven't even had half an hour of study.."

"Stay still.ah! I really don't like English."

"Basic! How can you understand this lesson if you like it not." Taemin's words made IU think for a moment. It seems like the young man's words have a point as well.

"Well, then wait here." Taemin's words suddenly moved from his place and left IU staring at him in wonder.

After a while Taemin returned with a guitar in his hand and sat down in front of IU.

"How about we just sing?" The proposal made IU's face look turn happy and then nodded. The young man also played his guitar. Then she started singing and was followed by IU singing along with her.

                                                *             U-Taemin (SHINee)**

Taemin seemed fascinated when he heard IU sing.

The girl's voice turned out to be so soft when heard. Reminds him of the voice of someone he used to know.

Taemin really enjoyed this precious moment

The sound of applause when they finished singing made Taemin and IU turn towards the voice and finally found Minho who was now standing with a smile not far from where they were.

"Both good!! You two sound good singing together." Puji Minho serya walked up to the two people

"Young! You said you had to take care of something on campus? But why did you come home so soon?" Taemin asked in surprise

"really. I was taking care of something, I went home to get something and then I went back to college." Minho said then quickly ran up the stairs.

After a while he came down with some papers in his hand.

"You sound good, IU~si." Minho said while smiling at IU

"Gomawoyo, Minho oppa." IU replied involuntarily making Taemin instantly turn towards her

"You said Minho Oppa?" Ask suddenly

"You two? Do you know each other?!"
