JUST KPOP THINGS

One Shot || Angel • SHINee (LTM & KJH)

"Mom ?"

"Yes, Love."

"What is this?"

Mi Re looked up from the magazine she was reading and watched her son approach with what seems to be a SHINee album in his tiny hands. It was the 1of1 album, with the green cover. By the look of it, Hyun Jae had gone through her things again without her permission.

"What is this?" Mi Re asked as she put her magazine aside and pulled her five-year-old son on her lap. "Where did you find it, you minx?"

"In your office, Mom."

"And what were you doing in there, Jae?"

"I was looking for the pencils uncle Jin Ki gave me."

Hyun Jae put his hand down, fidgeting with the album cover to distract himself from his mother's insistent gaze. The boy knew he must not enter Mi Re's office nor to touch anything in the room. But it was way more fun to go against the rules. Plus, he was really looking for the pencils his uncle gave him for his birthday. He wanted to make a nice drawing for his father.

"You know you're not allowed to use those pencils without asking me first, right?" Mi Re raised a brow as Hyun Jae repressed a smile. The little boy was quite playful and never missed an opportunity to make his parents go crazy. "Dad will be very angry if you draw on the kitchen table again. We had a hard time cleaning it up last week. I put away your pencils for a good reason."

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"It's okay. I'm not mad. But next time you should ask me first. You must not go through your mother's things without their consent. Promise?"

"I promise."

"Good. Now show me what you got there."

Mi Re kissed Hyun Jae's forehead, and the boy began to blabber again. He was curious about the CD inside the album, and about the five boys on the green cover. The bright colours and big round letters of the title had awoken the boy's interest.

"Mom, who's this man. Do I know him?"

Mi Re smiled as Hyun Jae put his chubby finger on the album cover to point at one of the singer's faces. The man was dressed in a striped grey suit and a deep red turtleneck. His hair was nicely combed, and his smile was very charming. Mi Re repressed a laugh: it was nice to think about the good old times.

"He's your uncle Min Ho, Love. He's handsome, don't you think?"

"That one looks like Daddy," Hyun Jae said happily while pointing at another face, ignoring his mother's answer.

"It's because he's your Dad, Love," Mi Re confirmed as she took a closer look at the picture.

"Really?"

"Yes. Do you remember what Daddy told you about his job?"

"He's a singer! And a sexy dancer!"

Mi Re laughed when her son started to move his arms up in the air to mimic his father and his members. She wanted to take a video and send it to Tae Min, as proof that his son was walking in his path. The little boy looked so much like his father! It was so striking that sometimes Mi Re wondered if Hyun Jae had even inherited something from her too.

"Your father is indeed a singer," she finally answered when Hyun Jae stopped his cute antics. "He and your uncles are part of a boys group. Do you remember its name?"

"Shy? Or Shiny? Yes, Shiny!"

"It's SHINee, Baby." Mi Re made a pause, looking at the album cover with the five smiling boys. "And here, do you recognize him?"
