Like A Brother

Like A Brother

Ok Guys,

I know it's too soon to put up my first fan fiction as mentioned in my earlier post. I actually completed this in 1 month last year. Now I'm working on a second one. Please bear with the grammar mistakes as I didn't had time to go through each chapter in detail when I did them. ^^"

My first fan fiction of SHINee was called "Like A Brother" because I didn't have any other better ideas. So, it sounds lame.

Well, here goes my prologue and the first chapter:

Prologue

My life,

Engulfed in complete darkness.

Yet within it,

A bright light shines.

Telling me not to give up,

As I reach out my hands towards it…

Chapter 1

To my adorable Min Lee,

How are things back at home? I’ve found a decent place to stay in Seoul which is nearby the school that I’m attending. Enclosed is the address where I live. I’m a bit nervous about my first day tomorrow. Hope everything will be alright. I’ve also found a part-time job in a nearby music store to support myself. So there’s no need to worry about me. Tell Mom and Dad that I miss you guys. Be a good boy and listen to them.

Regards,

Jin Woo Hyung

Jin Woo

It was a great day as I got dressed and headed for school. As I arrived at the school gate, a huge crowd was blocking the entrance and causing a lot of commotion. Most of them were girls wearing the same school uniform.

“Kyaa…!! It’s them…!!” One shouted.

“They look so handsome always. Enough to melt my heart.” Another sighed.

“We love you SHINee!!” one group of the girls shouted.

Being ignorant, I pushed my way through the crowd. Apologising to others along the way as I headed towards the staff room. I knocked on the door before entering. “Good morning, I’m Kim Jin Woo.” I announced loudly.

Just then, one of the staff came over. “Ah, the new transfer student. I’m Choi Kang Min.” the staff introduced himself.

“Nice to meet you, Sir.” I greeted him politely.

“Nice to meet you too. Just call me Mr. Choi will do.” Mr. Choi replied. “The Principal has informed me on your arrival and has decided to assign you into my class.” He added.

Just then the first bell rang.

“Ah, time for the first session. Now, Jin Woo, if you could kindly wait for a bit while I collect my things. I’ll lead you to the classroom and introduce you to the others.” Mr. Choi said as he went to his desk to collect the materials. As we headed towards the classroom, Mr. Choi explained that he teaches History and also shared a bit of the background regarding the school.

“Wait here until I tell you to enter.” Mr. Choi instructed as I nod my head before he opened the doors to the classroom. There were curious glances and whispers were heard as other students tried to see who it was.

“Now everyone, as I mentioned before, we have a new transfer student assigned to our class starting today. I want all of you to give him a warm welcome and treat as you to everyone else.” Mr. Choi explained and looked at me. “You can come in now.” He said.

“Here goes…” I said to myself as I entered and faced the whole class.

“If you would kindly introduce yourself please.” Mr. Choi requested.

“My name is Kim Jin Woo. I’m 19 years old and currently staying by myself. I have a younger brother who stays with my parents overseas.” I introduced myself. There was a brief silence followed by claps and cheers.

“Alright, settle down.” Mr. Choi instructed. “Now, the person who has the honour to show Jin Woo the layout of our school will be…” He searched the classroom while trying to appoint a student. Just then, there was a soft snoring sound as he tried to locate the source.

“Jonghyun…Why am I not surprised?” He said. “You can place your bag at the sit behind him.” Mr. Choi instructed as others around the sleeping student tried to wake him up while I moved towards my indicated seat.

Jonghyun

Just when I was having a good dream, someone had to go and wake me up. There was a soft ruffling sound as I turned around and saw a guy placing down his bag.

“Jonghyun, I believe you haven’t met the new transfer student yet. Which you will have the honour to show him around the school grounds for now.” Mr. Choi explained.

“What!? Why me?” I was surprised at the statement.

“Well, if you concentrate more in class rather than sleeping almost half of the time, you wouldn’t have to do this.” Mr. Choi replied.

Groan…why must I take care of a newbie? I glared at the new student as I got up from my seat and moved towards the door. He has dark hair with hazel eyes, and behind that spectacle was a face that was able to dissolve all feelings of uneasiness.

“Jin Woo, Jonghyun will show you around the school grounds for now. As for the others, let us continue from where we left last week…” Mr. Choi continued with the lesson as the student came over.

“Alright newbie, you better remember it because I will only show you once.” I said to him.

The student looked at me. “Sure, and the name’s Jin Woo. Not newbie.” He replied.

He’s got character.

We’ve walked through the cafeteria, the school gym and field, the science labs and other areas in the school. But there’re only two places that I liked. One of them which I’m about to show him. “This is the music room. Where people can practice their musical skills here.” I explained to the student as I turned around. He was standing at the door looking inside, with a smile on his face.

“I guess you like this room, Jin Woo right?” I asked.

He turned to look at me. “Yes, I like music. My parents used to work as singers in a night club and I grew up listening to the old songs from their generation.”

Just then, the bell rang. “Well, first session is over. I’ve already showed you around school. Time to head back.” Both of us walked back towards the class.

In the evening…

Jin Woo

I’ve just got back from work. Placing down two bags of groceries while I searched for the keys, an MPV stopped at the house right beside mine as a few persons got down before the vehicle left. I turned around to greet my neighbours and was surprised before I said anything. One of them was none other than the guy who showed me around school today, Jonghyun.

“Hi there, neighbour.” He greeted me with a smile. Behind him were others which I’ve met in class today. Onew, Minho, Key and Taemin. Things are just starting to get more interesting…
