" Annyeong Seo-joon are you free right now?" Onew called 

" Ne hyung I'm on break today. Was just practicing for the concert why?" 

" Great can you come to the company right now? We have to show you something" 

" Sure hyung I'll just tell my manager" Seo-joon hang up the call as he quickly fixed his things turning off the lights to his practice room and heading to his manager's office where he usually stays

" Hey hyung" Seo-joon greets Shi Jin who was swamped with paper works 

" Hey Seo-joon need anything?" He stopped what he was doing looking up to him

" I'm just here to tell you that Jin-ki hyung called and said he wanted to show me something at SM"  

" Ohh so you want me to bring you to SM entertainment?" Seo-joon nodded as Shi Jin grabbed the car keys and a few things before heading out of his office together with Seo-joon

" Hyung are you okay? You look like you're not sleeping well" Seo-joon saw that Shi Jin had big eyebags under his eyes and the expression on his face was that of exhaustion and pain

" Yeah I'll be fine. Nothing like a good coffee can't help" Shi Jin smiled through the rear view mirror but Seo-joon knew he was lying since he knew him from the start of his debut

" Hyung you can't lie to me" Seo-joon had a stern glare that made Shi Jin sigh and come out with the truth

" Alright I may be lacking sleep for a few hours" Shi Jin shared truthfully 

" Hyung you know you can't overwork yourself. Mo-yeon noona wouldn't want that" Shi Jin gave a really look recalling the time when he said that to him

" Did you just really say that to me?" Seo-joon nodded feeling proud he got back at him making him chuckle. Soon after they arrived at SM entertain with Seo-joon getting off at the entrance

" You can rest up after you work hyung. I'll have Jin-ki hyung bring me home later" 

" Thanks Seo-joon. Stay safe and contact me whenever you go" Shi Jin only drove off when he saw Seo-joon get inside the building. Upon entering, Seo-joon smelled the familiar scent of SM entertainment as he messaged Onew he arrived at the lobby. A few minutes and Onew came to pick him up and they went to the recording where the other Shinee members were inside

" Seo-joonah it's good to see you again" Key and Taemin greeted him with a hug once he entered and Minho with a fist bump

" So what did you want to show me hyung?"

" This" Onew showed him a lyric sheet with a simple message at the top

" This is for Seo-joon" Seo-joon read through as it was a song that was re-made by Jonghyun to an acoustic version

" This is for me?" All the members nodded

" We found this when were going through his stuff in his house and Minho hyung found the sheet on top of his desk" Taemin informed as Seo-joon couldn't believe it

" We also found this on his computer" Minho gave him a usb making him look ed confused

" It's got a video message for each of us and this here has file named for you" After showing what they wanted to show, they talked for a while before the members had their own individual schedules. Onew felt sorry that he couldn't bring Seo-joon home but he brushed it away and said he would find someone else to ask. They bid farewell leaving Seo-joon all alone in the building with permission from Shinee's manager as he walks around
