“Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit….I am so sorry to keep everyone waiting. There was an accident on the way here...”
“Don’t worry about it, we just got here a couple of minutes ago too. Tim’s just firing up the machines now. Sit down, we’re ordering pizza for lunch, is there anything particular that you wanted?” Edgar asked, looking up at me.
“What’s been ordered already?”
“Some pretty exotic things…kimchi, corn, jalapenos…” I grimaced. Leave it to the guys to order to off the wall shit and put in on their pizzas.
“Just Canadian Bacon or Ham…”
“Noona, I ordered Hawaiian…if you like pineapple on your pizza.” The voice came from Key, and I looked at him and smiled. It had been a while since I had a Hawaiian style pizza.
“Okay, I’ll share with you then.” I said, looking at Key while I absentmindedly sat down in a spot both Taemin and Jinki cleared for me on the couch.
“Mm…noona you smell so good.” Taemin said, as he leaned in to smell me. Jinki did the same and I could feel Minho’s stare intensify.
“Minho, calm down, Crystal does smell nice.”
“Don’t get any ideas either of you. Crystal, you should sit on my lap.”
“Minho. She’s fine where she is…” Taemin butted in but today was day 3 of this crap and it was getting on everyone’s nerves.
“Guys, Crystal’s your band mate not a prize to be won, do you understand? Treat her with some respect for crying out loud, every day this week you guys have come in here like you got something to prove, it’s getting old quickly. So please, knock it off.” Tim said looking at each of the guys.
The guys lowered the heads, and each apologized for their behavior. Shortly after Tim’s outburst he notified us that we were ready to start recording. Today we were recording Slower and Hardly Breathing. My vocals for the verses for Slower were already recorded as well as the harmonies for the first chorus. I would be doing the adlibs and the guys would have embellishing harmonies today.
The microphone was lowered to my height while 5 other microphones were behind mine. The guys lined up behind me and we all put on our headphones. The music started playing and I had heard the finished first chorus and it was amazing. The song oozed sex.
I sang my first adlib at the end of the first chorus.
Uh…
The guys began singing in the background of the second verse.
Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah
The guys were doing their thing, and singing the harmonies. I sang all my ad-libs.
Ooh ah ooh…
I sang the last line of the second verse.
You speed racer slow doowwn noooo ooh
Ooh yeah
The guys sang the pre-chorus and harmonized before I came in on the second verse doing ad-libs.
Slower
Slower slower
Sloowerrr slower
Sloower I…
The first part of the bridge was already recorded yesterday. I knew the second part was coming up and I had practiced tirelessly over the past week to get it just right. These next adlibs were the hardest.
You’ve never had nothing like this
I’m gonna show you a thing or two
The guys took over on the next line before I came back in.
Speed racer go!
Slower
Slower slower
We can go slower slower no slower slooooweeerrr ooh yeah
The guys harmonize the chorus while my pre-recorded vocals did the melody. Tim cut the track.
“Guys that was awesome and Crystal, wow, I didn’t know you had it in you. Great work all around everyone, I’m going to send this off for editing later, you all will have copies of the final version tomorrow or the next day. Now why don’t you come back in and rest a minute while I get the next track queued.” Tim said as I nodded and took off my headphones and made my way over to the door to the sound room. I sat down on the couch first as Minho sat next to me and put an arm around me. I rested my head on the nook of his shoulder and Minho laid a kiss on the top of my forehead. Minho smelled amazing, whatever he was wearing was new to me and made him irresistible.
“So noona, what are you doing today after recording?” Taemin asked, sitting next to me on the couch.
“I’m getting new veneers put in.” I said, turning my head to make eye contact with the maknae. Taemin made a funny face but Jonghyun caught on.
“What are veneers?” Jonghyun asked, looking at me.
“They’re basically shells placed over your teeth to improve the appearance of your teeth and give the illusion that you have straight teeth.”
“Oh, so you’re getting your smile fixed then…about time.” Minho jumped at the chance to confront his hyung.
“What is that supposed to mean hyung?”
“Minho, it’ll be good for Crystal, she can smile with confidence now. I’m sure you’ve noticed she’s not one to smile with a full smile.” Jinki said, jumping to Jonghyun’s defense. Minho shook his head, at the both of them clearly perturbed.
“So what will they have to do Crystal? Do you know?” Taemin asked, being his curious self.
“Well they’ll have to grind down my teeth to the accurate measurements before roughing them up and applying the veneers with glue to hold everything together. They’ll use UV light to harden the glue. Kind of like when I had braces.”
“You had braces? Really? I can’t tell….” Key said and I could tell Minho was about to hit him. I squeezed Minho’s hand to try and calm him down, but his jaw clenched tightly as he restrained himself.
“Yeah, well my teeth nearly went back to their position when I lost my retainer in college.”
“Oh, that’ll do it.” Key said, eying Minho back. I was getting a headache now, Minho was clearly jealous of the other guys simply trying to make conversation. I grabbed the bottle ibuprofen I kept in my purse and excused myself to the water cooler where I grabbed a cup of cool water to take my ibuprofen with.
After gulping down two small cups of water, Tim let us know that the next song was ready for recording, he just needed to get the microphones recalibrated. So I grabbed my music sheets and run over the song again in my head.
It was going to be tricky, but Tim and his associates with him moved the microphones in a circle so we'd be able to see who was singing what. I glanced at the time, it was a little after ten. We had a little over two hours to finish this song if Tim was to edit it and master it in time for it to be an album release.
"All right yo, so this song you need to be in the mindset for, so let me lay it down for you guys. Imagine that you love someone so much that the thought of them dying, or leaving cripples you but they hurt you repeatedly. So you're left there hardly breathing and you gotta leave or risk dying."
We all nodded in understanding. Tim continued.
"I want to hear emotion. Give it to me." We nodded in understanding. As far as I knew, Rico Love wrote this song but Timbaland was in charge of the album so we had to keep the penchant 'turn the lights on' to pay homage to and Rico would get his cut.
We all filed into the studio and went to our respective mics, I was the shortest in the group so I had the shortest mic. To my left was Jinki, to my right was Jonghyun. I set my water on the stand as well as my music sheets. The vocals were going to be the hardest for me because I was switching from my low register to my head voice in a matter of seconds. It would probably take a few takes before I got into the groove of it.
The music started playing and I started singing the intro and to my surprise Jinki was singing with me.
Hardly breathing
Hardly breathing
Minho came in with his normal rap banter and said his line.
Turn the lights on
My verse was coming up followed by the high adlib I had been struggling to nail all week. I silently prayed to myself that I would get it on the first try. Jinki would sing the lower octave of the adlib, but I honestly wanted to switch roles since I was already in my lower register but the Tim thought it would be best if I did it.
I really wanna take you back
It's killin' me watching you walk away (yeah)
The music was cut as I cringed, I already knew I didn't hit the right notes on the adlib
"Crystal, that was a bit flat. I'll cut it back for you so you can try it again. The verse I had just sang played back in everyone's ears and I sang the adlib again, this time getting it spot on. The music kept going as Jinki sang the next verse.
But my head ain't okay with that
And Lord knows how much I want you babe
I came in singing the higher octave of the melody.
It hurts me but you can't stay (no)
Both Jinki and I entered the pre-chorus as if we were scorned lovers. He had the main melody while I added all the embellishments and adlibs.
This old heart of mine, won't let you break it
Not again (not again)
Been hurt too many times and I can't take it
Not again (Cause I'm)
Entering the chorus meant everyone was to sing. Minho took the bass line, I was on upper harmony, Jinki was on main melody, Jonghyun was supporting harmony which was a third under what I was singing, while Taemin and Key were tasked with adlibbing through the chorus.
Cause I'm hardly breathing
Once again I had to drop from my head voice to my lower register and the transition sucked. The music was stopped because the first note I sang was off.
"Fuck, I'm sorry. Let me try that again."
"Of course." Tim said, as he cut the track back and played the chorus again and I sang my line concentrating on nailing the lower register notes.
One more teary eye or sleepless night
Just might kill this heart of mine
This was the second chorus. We all sang powerfully. Minho had the low melody. Jinki and I were on the upper melody, Jonghyun, Key and Taemin had the harmonies in between.
Hardly breathing
Hardly breathing
The second verse was all Minho and Taemin with Jonghyun and I providing harmony. Jonghyun would come in at the end to do an adlib.
Beggin' won't do nothing
Forgave you many times along the way
Jonghyun sang:
yeah yeah
While Taemin finished with:
ah
My line was next.
My mama said don't trust him
Jonghyun killed the next two lines though.
But deep inside my soul I found a place
And now I want you out baby
The pre-chorus came again and Jonghyun was on the melody this time, I was an octave above him while Key and Taemin shined in the adlibs.
This old heart of mine won't let you break it (no no)
Not again
Been hurt too many times and I can't take it
Not again
All of us came in on the short chorus Jinki and I were assigned the adlibs this time around.
Cause I'm hardly breathing
Jonghyun was on the melody and Jinki was doing his thing harmonizing. I always did like hearing these two sing together.
Cause one more teary eye or sleepless night
Just might kill this heart of mine
I took the lower melody this time around, while Jinki and Jonghyun did their thing with the adlibs.
Hardly breathing
Hardly breathing
Bridge was coming up and I knew I had no part in it, so I stepped away from the mic and listened intently to the other guys. Taemin had the main melody with Key while Jonghyun, and Jinki had interchanging harmonies.
Feels like I'm on my last lifeline
And I can't take a chance, of not being able to breathe again
Minho this time had the melody while Jinki, Jonghyun and Key had the supporting harmonies.
Another heartbreak and I might die inside
So I learned from the last time
Jonghyun had the last line and once again he killed it.
That lovin' you ain't worth losing my life
Jinki and I came in, singing the melody on different octaves while Jonghyun adlibbed the hell out of it.
This old heart of mine won't let you break it
Not again (not again)
It hurt so many times and I can't take it
Not again
We came in on the chorus and I was on adlibs which I fucked up and we had to start over again. The second time I nailed them.
Cause I'm hardly breathing
Minho and I were on the opposing octaves for the melody.
One more teary eye or sleepless night
We all sang the last line in varying harmonies and melodies.
Just might kill this heart of mine
All of us sang the last chorus, but I did some runs as embellishments and ended the second chorus by singing the last word while Jinki and Jonghyun did adlibs on the main chorus, Key, Taemin and Minho all sang the melody in three part harmony.
Hardly (Oh) breathing
Hardly (Oh) breathing (breathing)
We all came in on the last line.
Just might kill this heart of mine
"Awesome. Okay. I need to re-record the bridge so if I can have all the guys stay, Crystal you can come on back here that way you're not picked up on the mics." I nodded and flashed a smile to my band mates and went into mixing room. The guys finished up the bridge with three additional takes and joined me in the mixing soon after where the pizza had arrived a little early. Jin gladly paid for the food and I glanced at the clock. It was 11:53am and we had managed to finish recording a bit early. Tim and his associates stayed for pizza. I had a couple of slices of Key's Hawaiian pizza and stayed back to chat for a little bit, but all too soon it was time to leave for my dental appointment. I grabbed my purse and bid the guys goodbye before I met up with my driver and headed on over to my appointment.
Getting fitted for my veneers took a pretty long time. I didn't get out of the office until after 3pm. I got back to the hotel a little before 4pm so I kick back and relax until it's time for my vocal lessons at 5pm. I go over all the material I'm currently singing but in Korean and Japanese, a lingual expert now sits in on my lessons to ensure I'm pronouncing all the words correctly and to ensure that I'm being taught by my tutors correctly. It was a very frustrating hour.
After the lesson, I'm taken to the dance studio where I practice the routine for Can you hear me now with Taemin doing the opening dance to get us in the mood. During the practice we're doing situational positioning which happens towards the end of the video where we dance but in very tight box with our hands and legs touching any one member at any time while looking like we're in orgasmic bliss. If you're not watching what you're doing someone's hand will hit someone below the below belt or someone in the face. Both Jonghyun and Jinki were the unfortunate victims of crotch shots by me, while Key accidentally smacked poor Jinki again, and Minho smacked Key as of late. I also managed to slap both Key and Taemin and Jinki managed to smack each one of us by accident.
Luckily no one has ended up with a black eye yet, just bruised egos, sore nut sacks and red marks.
Practice came to a close and I rushed away to get back to my hotel room to go to my Mandarin tutoring. After the hour long session, I made it back to my bedroom and crashed.
-July 18th, 2014-
I was in the bathroom getting ready my day, when my phone chimed, indicating I had a text message. Resting my electric toothbrush between my teeth and cheek, I glanced down at the message.
Hey Crystal,
I cannot make it this morning, I am very ill and do not want to risk getting you sick. Please stay healthy!
Jungsu Lee
I grabbed my toothbrush and smiled before finishing up. I had until eight to sleep. I was giddy. I hopped back in bed and set my alarm again before nearly falling asleep. I had gotten another text. I glanced down at it, this time it was Taemin.
Hey noona ^.^
What are you up to right now?
I groaned out load and just wanted sleep. Fuck you Taemin. I'm not answering your stupid ass.
"Dumb ass. Sleeping."
"You know it's not polite to stand people up noona." I heard suddenly causing me to jump and when I saw Taemin standing in my door way and backed away and fell off my bed. I shot an angry glare at Taemin.
"How the fuck did you get in here!?"
"Minho's key. He leaves it out on his end table." Taemin said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I know Jonghyun's up you little shit, he wouldn't just let you leave with Minho's key." I said, looking up at Taemin who had a cocky smirk on his face. I swear this guy was the devil incarnate.
"I promised I'd buy him a case of red bull in exchange for Minho's key." Even I knew redbull was Jonghyun's weakness. The man practically drank them like water.
"Fuck! You are a sneaky bastard. Get the fuck out and let me sleep Taemin and maybe I won't break your legs." Taemin wasn't leaving that easy though.
"I know Jungsu cancelled with you we all got the text this morning from Jin...come with me noona. We're supposed to practice the tango anyway, remember?"
"No Taemin, I'm sleep deprived and I'm on my period. The last thing I want to do is tango with you."
"Come on noona. Please?!?!" Taemin said as he walked to my bedside and got on his knees in front of me and gave me his best puppy-eye impression with a side of pouty lip for good measure. It was pretty convincing, but I just laid back on the bed and covered my head in blankets.
"Not today Satan, not today." I muttered. I suddenly felt a cool hand grasp my ankle and pull me out from the fort of blankets I built around myself.
"TAEMIN! Let me sleep!"
"No, noona. Come on...let's go practice." I kicked his hand off my ankle.
"Fuck, fine!" I said getting up out of my bed and grabbing some loose fitting clothes out of my drawers. "I'll go, but you better fucking take me for breakfast and let me get dressed. I still ought to kick your ass."
"Yes noona." Taemin said, bouncing up and down like a 4 year old child on Christmas morning.
I grabbed a freshly washed work out outfit and put my messy hair up in pony tail and I didn't even bother with makeup.
"Okay birthday boy, you have me until 7:30, I hope you called a car for us."
"It's waiting downstairs...do I get a birthday kiss?" Taemin asked looking down at me as he blocked my way. I rolled my eyes at the cheeky bastard and pushed him aside.
"Why don't you worry about what you want to eat first okay?" I said opening the door to my hotel room to come across Minho and Jonghyun stepping out of their room.
"My key Taemin? Jonghyun told me you took off with it." Taemin shot a glare at Jonghyun before handing my hotel key to Minho. "Thank you. Where are you two headed?"
"To the dance studio for a bit to practice."
"Doesn't Crystal have tutoring this morning?"
"It got canceled, Jungsu's sick." I said, looking up at my boyfriend, who nodded.
"Well we'll ride the elevator with you." Minho said, as the elevator opened and I was allowed in first followed by Jonghyun, Taemin then finally Minho. "Why are you guys headed there so early? If you don't mind me asking."
"To the dance studio? I want to teach Crystal the dance steps to the tango."
"I can teach her that Taemin..." The older man scoffed shooting a glare at Taemin.
"I insist though, hyung. Really, besides it's my birthday after all. I'm entitled to do what I want." Taemin said, in a matter-of-factly manner. I looked down at the floor; knowing that it wasn't going to end very nicely for the maknae.
"When it comes to bribing Jonghyun to take Crystal's room key to get into her room, I don't give a shit whether it's your birthday or not, you crossed a huge line and you know it." Minho said stepping forward while glaring at Taemin who shrunk back a bit at the invasion of his space by a feral Minho. At the click of a switch inside himself he turned from cocky young man to innocent maknae.
"Aw...come on hyung, you know I've been wanting time with Crystal too. You guys hog her too much."
"For fucking good reason, we all know you think with your dick." Minho spat venomously. This was going to be as long elevator right. I glanced up at the floor meter and we still had another ten stories to go; meanwhile Taemin's eyebrows scrunched together as he glared at Minho. Jonghyun let out a snort as if he agreed with Minho.
"I do not. Fuck you Minho." Taemin said retreating to the corner of the elevator away from Minho but Minho kept stepping toward Taemin and I knew I had to intervene otherwise another fight was going to break out.
"Minho. It's fine really. I'll be fine. I'm a grown woman, I can handle myself, besides, what's the worst that's going to happen that hasn't already been done in one way or another, the choreography's pretty heated. Besides it's better to get familiar with the dance so I'm not delaying learning time."
"What the worst that's going to happen? Crystal the tango is a sexualized dance...something better fitted for your boyfriend to teach you than oh...the man who tried to rape you?" Minho said, as he shot a glare at Taemin. Jonghyun also stepped in beside me.
"Minho I thought we were all past that?" Jonghyun interceded for me. Minho shook his head and retreated back to his side of the elevator crossing his arms over his chest.
"Fine, go. Let me know if anything happens we'll be a block or so away."
"Where are you guys headed?" I asked, my eyes switching between Minho and Jonghyun.
"To get some breakfast. I lost a game to Minho last night and I'm paying up my debt."
"I see. Good luck with that." I said, smirking as my eyes met Jonghyun's.
"Yeah, my wallet's going to need it." Jonghyun said as Minho laughed loudly. The elevator stopped down in the lobby and the doors opened.
"Come on hyung." Minho said wrapping an arm around his hyung's shoulders. I kind of wished I was joining the two guys.
"Come on noona our cars waiting for us outside." Taemin said as he kept his distance knowing his hyungs were keeping an eye on us.
"Okay." I said, pulling out my phone and checking the weather conditions. We were going to have a cold front move through which would bring much needed relief from the heat wave NYC was experiencing. Perhaps it would be a good weekend to spend some time on the balcony with a cold one...
The weather was cool but it was nice. Taemin opened the door for me to the oversized SUV and I climbed in. Taemin climbed on the other side as he rattled off an address to our driver which wasn't anywhere close to the dance studio.
"Where's that?" I asked looking Taemin and he smirked as his eyes met mine. They flashed mischievously.
"You'll see noona."
Turns out it was a restaurant I've seen several times, but never thought anything about the unassuming building. The large blue font on the building announced Morning Star Restaurant with a star where the 'o' should be. I looked at Taemin as we pulled up before looking at Joe our driver.
"Hey did you want anything?" I asked, touching Joe lightly on the shoulder. The old man shrugged.
"Since you're asking, just a black coffee if they got it."
"Okay. That's it?"
"Yeah, I had a good breakfast before I left."
"Okay. Let go Taemin. We should be about a half hour or so."
"Sure thing, take your time kids."
With that Taemin and I walked into the building and we were seated in a booth next to the window. I asked for a coffee to go and promptly ran it out to Joe who gladly took it. It was then I realized we were the only ones in the whole restaurant and I saw the 'closed' sign was up. I was let back into the restaurant. I went back to our booth very puzzled.
"Taemin...is this place normally closed at this time?" I asked sitting back down to my now hot coffee.
"Yeah, I called in a favor last night. I met the owner a while back and I sometimes come in and have breakfast before they open at 7am." Taemin said, just as the waitress delivered the large orange juices. I looked at the woman questioningly.
"Um...miss...I..."
"It's fine Stacy, she'll drink it." Taemin answered for me. I snapped my head back to him.
"While you were out I ordered for you. I hope you don't mind." Taemin said as he pushed the orange juice toward me. "Drink noona, I promise you'll thank me."
"Well if I'm paying...that's kind of..."
"Eggs Benedict, right?" Taemin asked, as he put cream and sugar in his coffee, spilling sugar on the table in the process. "Oh shit...whoops." Taemin said as nonchalantly swiped the granules off the table and onto the floor, bumping his cup and having some coffee splash out of his cup. Cursing under his breath again, I grabbed a couple of napkins from the dispenser next to me and handed the napkins to him. He grabbed them and wiped the mess.
"Yes...but how in the..." Taemin slid the sugar and cream across the table to me to dress my coffee with and I did so promptly.
"Minho's not the only one who's observant in group noona. Both Jinki and I notice you order it if the restaurant has it on the menu." Taemin said taking a cautious sip of the hot beverage his eyes meeting mine as he did so. I stirred my coffee, the smell hitting my nose and making my mouth water.
"Well that's creepy as fuck..." I said glancing down at my coffee. I took a sip and it was very smooth going down. "Mm...you two have only eaten breakfast with me a few times. That's good coffee."
"See noona? But seriously every time I've eaten with you order the same thing. You're a creature of habit whether you want to admit it or not."
"What if I wanted Eggs, Bacon and Toast? Or fruit? I like other things too you know."
"Well I promise you won't be disappointed noona. Now, drink your coffee and orange juice."
"Is that your way of telling me to shut up?"
"Maybe. I could think of other ways to shut you up too...but we can discuss that later." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"You have no shame."
"You have no idea noona." I shake my head and focus on sipping my hot coffee.
The food was just as good as Taemin promised. He even got rice with his meal instead of hash browns. I opted also for a half of grapefruit, knowing I needed to eat something healthy to balance out all the fat and cholesterol I had just eaten. The bill was a little under $40 but I was feeling generous and left a huge tip of a $200 but told the waitress to share it between the staff of the restaurant who served us such a wonderful breakfast.
The next stop was the dance studio. Taemin and I took the elevator up to the 4th floor and we find an empty room. So I begin stretching, Taemin does the same, and when we feel like we're good enough Taemin pops the CD in before coming over to me and taking my hand as we got in position. The music started and I was so focused on the steps and trying to remember them all that I ended up throw us both off balance and we crashed to the floor.
"Are you okay noona?"
"Yeah I'm fine...I just don't think I'm going to get this."
"Noona, it takes time...let's try it again."
We did it again and this time I ended up on the floor. The third time, went okay but not without mistakes. The fourth go around was a complete failure and I ended up smacking the floor hard. Taemin was growing frustrated with me and I was growing even more frustrated with myself.
"I think you're too in your head noona, this is supposed to be a sensual dance."
"I'm trying Taemin...really I am...I know the steps, I don't know why I keep fucking up." I said out of breath, my hand still stung like hell from cushioning my fall just moments before. I grabbed my water bottle and went over to the window and looked at the people below before turning back around toward Taemin again and taking a swig of water. "I mean, it went smoothly with Minho just last night...what the fuck am I doing wrong?" Just then Taemin peeled his shirt over his head. I looked at him briefly before turning back around to the window, wondering what the hell he was doing.
Then I felt him behind me, his hands met the window sill on either side of me. His body felt warm behind me as he pushed his body against the back of mine.
"Taemin..."
"Sh..." His breath hit my neck and it caused me to get weak at the knees. "Allow yourself to feel this...what do you feel?"
"Nervous. On the verge of an anxiety attack..." His lips ghosted over my hair and back of my neck as his hand moved the stray hair away allowing his lips to touch my sensitive neck.
"Now?"
"Still nervous. What are you trying to do Taemin?" His arms enveloped my body pulling me tightly against him. I could feel the shape and size of his manhood through his pants, he was aroused, swollen, but not erect, not yet.
"Sh..." Just then his tongue darted out of his mouth and licked a very sensitive spot on my neck causing me to moan involuntarily. His mouth attacked that spot repeatedly, licking and nipping at it while his hands cupped my breasts through my clothing, playing with my nipples through my bra. My heart raced, straining against my breastbone as if trying to escape.
As sudden as his attack began, was as sudden as he left me there, wanting more. The music began playing again through the speakers, and I knew what the hell he was doing. He was creating the desire needed to project the sensuality in the tango. Everything clicked from that point on, I did the steps from memory but added a sensual flare to them.
The way Taemin's hands felt on my body...he was getting bolder, he knew what he was doing, and I was beginning to like it a little too much. During the dance, our lips are dangerously close to kissing but he never actually kissed me. I found myself wanting to taste his kiss.
We finish the routine and I start to pull away from Taemin, his grasp on my hand tightens and I turn back toward him. He pulled me to him and our bodies are flush together.
Lust is on the forefront of our minds. Taemin stares at my lips intently before claiming them in a kiss. The kiss starts out innocent enough, as an innocent peck but we're left wanting more and Taemin kisses me again, this time I open my mouth slightly and as with everything with Taemin, you give him an inch, he's going to take the whole fucking mile. The kiss is full of passion and desire. My eyes closed as Taemin wrapped his arms around me, lifting me up against him as he urged me to wrap my legs around his waist, pinning me to an adjacent wall.
It was just then a group of girls opened the door to the studio and saw us there, in the precarious position. I wouldn't have known better if Taemin wasn't caught off guard by the girls gasping. His face turned a deep crimson as he pulled away from me and helped me down so I was standing again.
"I'm sorry...we didn't realize anyone was in here."
"No, it's okay. Really, we were finishing up. Right Crystal?"
"Right," I said, my face now flushing realizing these teenage girls had just caught us in a predicament. "the rooms all yours girls." I said while quickly gathering my stuff not daring to make eye contact with either one of them, while Taemin grabbed the CD and his bag and we rushed out. I make a beeline for the ladies bathroom to change back into my street clothes, but Taemin follows me in and pins me against the stall.
"You really think I'm going to let you go that easily?" Taemin asked, before his lips met mine again. We make out for a bit before another woman comes into the bathroom. "Fuck." Taemin whispered in my ear as he pulled away from me when we hear her go down to the stall at the end and Taemin who is already extremely embarrassed by now. "I'll meet you outside." He adds before leaving quickly.
I get dressed and use the bathroom, changing my pad in the process before washing my hands and meeting Taemin out in the hallway. He had already changed into some more appropriate attire before we headed back downstairs where our car was waiting to take us back to the hotel. As soon as we pull up to the hotel, Taemin placed a kiss on my cheek.
"Thanks for coming noona."
"No problem Taemin, thanks for inviting me and happy birthday." I said, as I watched him get out and run around my side of the car to let me out. I stepped out of the door he held open for me. I passed the driver a crisp $20 bill before Taemin was right by my side again. He escorted me to the my hotel room.
“I have to go, but can I have one more kiss before I go? For good luck?”
I rolled my eyes at the maknae before meeting my lips with his but this time I pulled away before he could even get the chance to take the kiss further.
“You better go. I got class in ten minutes.” I said, as I pulled away from him and went to my bookcase to get my books for my class coming up.
“Okay noona, have a good day okay?”
“I will Taemin. I’m sure I’ll see you again sometime today.” I said, looking over at him and flashing him a smile. He smiled back.
“Okay, see you later.” Taemin said as he left my hotel room. Having the book in hand, I plopped down on the dining chair and took a deep breath. What the hell was wrong with me? First Key, then Jonghyun, now Taemin? Why couldn’t I control myself? I had a fucking boyfriend! Was the choreography and closeness of everything getting to the guys? I know I was bothered, but I could suppress my urges…well I guess that wasn’t entirely true either was it? I did find myself wondering what kissing Taemin would be like and it was clear today that he certainly wondered the same.
There was a knock at the door, pulling me from my thoughts. I got up and answered the door for a vocal trainer who came in. We went over all the Japanese and Korean version of the songs on the album once again since recording wrapped up the day before. It was fun because Tim brought in champagne for us to toast to finishing recording. It definitely was a memorable experience.
My day went by quickly. During dance practice the guys were talking about going to a club to celebrate Taemin’s birthday. Jinki promised to text me if they did anything of the sort saying they weren’t sure of where they were going as of yet.
Before I knew it Mr. Zhou my Mandarin tutor was bidding goodnight to me and leaving my hotel room. I sat down on the couch and my phone began going off playing some synth instrumental I downloaded the other day. I answered it, and it was Jinki.
“Hey Crystal! We decided on a place to celebrate Taemin’s birthday. Did you want to tag along or are you too tired?”
“No, I’ll come along. Just give me about twenty minutes to get dressed up and I’ll meet you guys down in the lobby.”
“Okay, sounds good. See you then.”
“Yeah, see you in a bit.” I said, bidding a goodbye before touching the end call button and getting up off the couch. I grab a dress I bought on one of my shopping excursions with Key, it was a bright turquoise dress with a black fabric on the sides that was cutout in a ton of strips that gave the dress more dimensions and accentuated my feminine figure. I did my makeup accordingly with matching turquoise eye shadow and black eyeliner. Dark red lip gloss graced my lips as I put my hair up in a high ponytail. I put in a tampon in lieu of a pad since the dress was pretty form fitting and my period was much lighter now with my body finally adjusted to the Mirena. I sprayed on my favorite perfume and gave myself a good examine in the mirror. Feeling ready, I grabbed my purse and made my way downstairs.
When I stepped out of the elevator all eyes were on me. Seeing as it was only the guys and the front desk lady. Key whistled as soon as he laid eyes on me.
“Whoa…you look very…sexy.” Jinki said nervously. Minho chimed in next after shoot a look at Jinki realizing the guy was only saying how it was.
“Wow. Yeah, very gorgeous.” Minho's eyes studied my body, absorbing every curve and piece of exposed skin.
“Did you dress up for me noona?” Taemin asked chomping at the bit as soon as he saw me as well. Everyone else was dressed to kill. I tried my best to keep my eyes on Minho only…but everyone was wearing tight clothes that showed their physiques and it made me flustered how good they all looked. Didn't help that I was replaying Key's, Taemin's, and Jonghyun's lips and hands on my body, nope, that didn't help me at all. I needed to say something though. The words left my lips mindlessly.
“Well, it’s your birthday, but I figured why not? I don’t get a chance to go out with you guys that often…”
“Oh we’ll have plenty of time together in a few days time when we leave for Tucson.” Jonghyun said, eying my curves with innuendo in his tone. Oh, that’s right, we had a video shoot near Tuscon, Arizona for our Heat music video. I still had to get my plane tickets for that too. We we’re leaving Wednesday so I had to do that Monday, since today was Saturday. My panic left me for the moment as a realized what day it really was.
“Yeah you’ll get sick of us, I promise you that.” Key said slapping Jonghyun in the gut seeing Jonghyun undress me with his eyes.
“Shall we go guys?” I asked, feeling bashful all of a sudden. Everyone nods as Taemin anxiously gets up first. Minho got up next and was immediately by my side to deter the other guys from escorting me.
"I got Crystal. Is the van here?"
"Yeah, let's go." Jinki said, as he glanced down at his phone to confirm Minho's question. Minho's hand dropped from the middle of my back to my ass where he gave a gentle squeeze. The sensation caused shivers to race up my spine and caused me to jump slightly. I glanced up at Minho who had a slight smirk on his face as his eyes met mine. Yeah, he knew what he was doing, and no, he didn't seem to give a shit on who saw him just grab my ass either. I licked my dry lips and gave a slight shake of my head.
About 20 minutes later we pulled up at a place with what looked like a red banner that proclaimed 'Pacha'. There was already a crowd gathered outside and it looked kind of hopeless that we'd get in to be honest. There were a couple of bouncers with clipboards and our driver was kind enough to point us to the VIP door which had noone standing in front of it, but a lone bouncer. Jinki went up to the guy and gave him his name. The man was a burly 6'3" easily 250 lbs glanced down at his list.
"You're my first guests tonight, party of six right? 5 guys, and 1 girl? That's $1100 cash, two hundred for each one of you guys and a hundred for the girl since it's ladies night..." The guy said with a slight smirk on his face. I could see right through his deception though. I knew the cover charge couldn't be that much. Jinki started grabbed the cash but I put a hand over his to stop him.
"Wait a minute, if it's ladies night, I should get in free and Taemin here, has a birthday which means he's free too. Unless you know, you wanna be a jerk about it...I happen to be good friends with the owner and I'm sure he won't like to hear about one of his guys trying to make a quick buck off of people who are about to hit it big." The man rolled his eyes at me.
"Save it for acting school honey, now you," He turned to Jinki. "pay up. I ain't got all night here."
"Jinki, don't you fucking think about it."
"Crystal's it's not a big deal..."
"I'm calling Edgar, he's the one who hooked us up right?" Jinki nodded as I got out my cell phone as the guys started assembling all the cash in their wallets to see if they had enough. The security guard however interrupted us.
"Wait? Edgar? As in Sony CEO Edgar? How do you know him?"
"We're his new clients, he called the owner and personally set us up with VIP for Taemin's birthday...you know him?"
"Yeah I know him. Fuck, I'll drop the cover charge down to $550..." This guy was sweating bullets. I grabbed $300 out of my purse.
"Here's $300 take it or leave it." I said holding the three $100 bills between my fingers.
"Fuck! You're killing me lady." The guard exclaimed desperately. I smirked as I made eye contact. The guys were just staring at me with their jaws open.
"Take it or it's your job. You're choice." I said, ruthlessly and in that moment this guy's cold exterior broke.
"Fine! Enjoy your fucking night." The guy said as he opened the door for us and the guys said their thank you's and put their money back in their wallets as they filed into the club one by one. I trailed behind everyone.
"Thank You!" I said as I went inside but not before ruffling with the guy's hair which got a smile out of him.
"Noona, I don't know what happened back there, but I'm glad you did it. We wouldn't have gotten in otherwise. Thank you." Taemin said, looking at me. I nodded at him.
"No problem Taeminnie...anything for you on your birthday." I said ruffling the young man's hair and he smiled.
"Well, I know drinks are super expensive, so...I snuck in a little something something." Jonghyun said, as he pulled up his shirt to reveal like five or six flasks. I pulled his shirt down.
"Jonghyun! Hide that shit. We're not even through security yet. They see that they'll be sure to confiscate it."
"Oops, sorry noona." Jonghyun said cheekily and I slapped his belly playfully and laughed.
We made it through security, whom searched though my purse. I wasn't too happy about that, but it was a small price to pay. I didn't have any more cash in my purse and I only had my ID. After getting through security we were allowed in and seeing how packed the dance floor was we opted to go up to one of the other floors. We found a bar and when I saw the prices my jaw nearly hit the floor. Jonghyun wasn't wrong about the high drink prices. I wasn't paying $23 for a fucking rum and coke. Fuck that noise. I turned to Jonghyun.
"What do you have in those flasks?"
"Oh, lets see..." Jonghyun started putting the flasks on the table. "Those two are whiskey, that one's rum, I got one full of vodka and the other two are soju for Taemin." Taemin grabbed one labeled Soju in Korean and began drinking out of it, thanking his hyung in the process.
"Good Lord..."
"Minho's also got some rum too...and Key brought in some vodka..." This caused Minho and Key to become engrossed in our conversation.
"Did everyone bring something in? Jesus! Why didn't anyone tell me?" I asked, looking over the drink menu, flabbergasted. I tossed the laminated menu back on to the table frustrated that I had given my last $300 to the security guard.
"Jinki didn't warn you?" Key asked, his eyes meeting mine. I raised my eyebrow at the male diva.
"Um...no?" I said.
"What didn't I do?" Jinki asked, looking over at Key, clueless as usual.
"You forgot to tell her about the high drink prices."
"Oh, sorry. Here," Handing me a flask tucked into the belt of his pants before grabbing his wallet and grabbing a hundred out of his wallet. "Get some sodas and water. Whatever cola you want."
"Okay. What's in the flask?"
"Your favorite, bacardi."
"Aw, you do think about me." I gushed playfully teasing his hair which got him to laugh.
"It happens to me mine too." He said, and I got up and went over to the bar and got the drinks. The total coming up to $85 with the bartender shoving the change in her tip jar. I was disgusted that 5 cokes and 5 waters came up to such a ridiculous amount even more disgusted that the bitch of a bartender kept Jinki's money. I had a tray with the drinks on it and I carefully made my way back to the table and put the tray on the table where Taemin grabbed some water, Minho, Jonghyun, Jinki grabbed a glass of coke. Key didn't grab anything, but drank out of his vodka flask. I sat down grabbing a glass of coke and drinking a good portion of it before pouring some of the rum into it to make it nice and strong.
"Was there change?"
"The bartender decided to give herself a fifteen dollar tip." I said, before drinking a good portion of my mixed drink down.
"Seriously?" Key asked flabbergasted.
"Yeah, seriously."
"Well we're going to be blowing through our money if we stay here for the time we originally planned." Jonghyun said, looking down at his drink.
"Yeah really." Minho said, before downing his cocktail as well.
"Well I'm not sitting here drinking the whole time. Let's get up and dance. That's what we came here for anyway." Jinki said, getting up but Taemin shot up first.
"Noona, you wanna dance with me?" Taemin asked, getting out and offering his hand to me.
"Sure Taemin, it's your birthday." I said as I got up and took his hand. I glance back at the guys. "I'll be back you guys..."
Taemin and I hit the main dance floor and it's fuller then it was earlier. Taemin and I make our way through the crowd and I felt someone grab my ass and grind their groin against me. I turned around expecting to find Taemin but instead I find some black guy with some bandana on his head. I slap his hand away. The guy said something but I couldn't hear anything over the music. I pull myself away from him but he grabs me around my waist, but I felt a strong grip on my upper arm pulling me away from the grabby black man.
"Crystal!"
"Taemin! Help!"
"Hey man! Find your fucking own bitch! I laid eyes on her first." The man said as he reached out toward me again, but Taemin stepped between us and pushed me further in on the dance floor. He shook his head and turned away from the man not wanting a fight.
The other man however, had other ideas.
He lunged toward Taemin and took him by surprise, causing dancers to clear out quickly and watch the fight unfold. Fists were thrown by the black man and when I saw blood I slid my shoe off and jumped on the guys back using the heel of the platform shoe on the guy's head. His attack stopped on Taemin, but now I was his target. He launched me off his back knocking me down onto the floor and I saw him rearing his arm back to throw a punch. I braced myself for a hit but was surprised to see Minho and Jinki among some of the other guys standing around grab both the man's arms to subdue him. By now the music had stopped with the fight and both Minho and Jinki were frazzled as the bouncers took control of the guy and kicked him out a nearby exit. Minho grabbed my shoe and pulled me back to our table while Jinki tended to a bloody Taemin in the bathroom.
"What the fuck happened? I can't leave you without a fight breaking out!"
"That guy grabbed me first! I thought it was Taemin! Taemin was trying to protect me. He didn't want to fight, that other guy was on drugs or some shit Minho...the way he tackled Taemin and threw me off his back? The guy was scrawnier than Taemin...you saw him, he was a fucking beast."
"We could've gotten arrested! Why did you jump in on that fight?!?"
"I wasn't about to let Taemin get killed okay?"
"Oh so you're just going to put yourself in harm's way? Okay."
"What the fuck did you expect me to do Minho? Really."
"Not fight, and let security handle it."
"Minho, leave her alone, she's not responsible for some douchebag's actions. She was defending Taemin and herself. I personally like it when a girl can hold their own." Key said, winking at me. Jonghyun rolled his eyes. It was obvious Key was drunk.
"I'm with Minho on this. That was stupid Crystal. You could've gotten killed that guy was clearly on something and who knows what he was capable of."
"Thank you hyung!"
"I’m not apologizing for standing up for myself.”
“Let’s get out of here, perhaps we’ll have better luck at the other place.” Jinki said, as he grabbed my flask and poured the rest of it into my cup. “You might want to drink all of that. You’re going to have to loosen up a bit for where we’re about to go next.”
“Where are you taking us next hyung?”
“Oh you’ll see Taemin.” Jinki said.
I downed the rest of the drink, noticing the alcohol was hitting me pretty well. I leaned against Minho for support as we got escorted to the SUV and we’re on our way to the next destination. A strip club.
The alcohol was now hitting everyone pretty well and the incident at Pacha was forgotten. I continued taking shots of Jonghyun's whiskey and Jinki's bacardi.
Minho hoping to quash the animosity between himself and Taemin, buys Taemin his favorite cake, at a 24 hour grocery store on the way to the strip club. While at the grocery store Jinki grabbed some extra some cash for me since I was too intoxicated to even work the atm. His arm securely around my waist to steady me as he grabbed my card and swiped into the card reader.
"Are you going to be okay?" Jinki asked, looking down at me as he punched the option for English when prompted.
"I'm fucking feeling amazing Jinki..." I said stumbling against him.
"Whoa, whoa...steady..." Jinki said calmly as he steadied me again as he punched the option to receive a receipt a reciept. "I think you've had too much noona."
"Me? Pfft...nah...I'll be fine in a half hour..."
"What's your pin?" Jinki asked, his eyes meeting mine. I rattled off the four digit pin before my eyes fell on his lips. I wondered how his lips would feel against mine and bit my lip. Jinki punched in my pin and glanced at me, a smirk on his lips which now had my full attention.
"200?"
"Hm? Um yes." I said feeling my already hot face flush with embarrassment as I forced myself to make eye contact. The money is dispensed shortly after he pressed the button with my option choice and leaned down to grab the money. He handed me the stack of 20s which I put in my purse. "Thank you." I said thanking Jinki. Our eyes met again and he flashed a smile.
"You look so beautiful tonight Crystal." Jinki said, his hand coming up to stroke the side of my face which I'm sure by now was red from both the alcohol and embarrassment.
"T-thank you, you look amazing too. I can't keep my eyes off of you tonight." I said my hand coming up and patting his chest. His hand grasped mine.
"Stop. If you continue with the compliments I may not be able to control what happens next."
"Big surprise there. Seems everyone's had an issue with control lately." This took Jinki by surprise and I realize I had said too much. "Um...nevermind..."
"What do you mean by that? Have the other guys been giving you issues lately?"
"No...forget I said anything okay Jinki..." Just then an intoxicated Taemin half rushed, half stumbled past us and enveloped Minho, taking him by surprise.
"HYUNG!!! That's my fucking favorite cake!" He grabbed the cake from Minho and plant a big sloppy kiss on Minho's lips who didn't bother fighting Taemin off being pretty intoxicated himself. The sudden display of affection took both Jinki and I by surprise causing Jinki to forget what we were talking about. The kiss was quick and before we knew it, Taemin was taking the cake out to the van where our driver was waiting for us. Jinki escorted me out to the van. I was followed by Minho who sat next to me. I raised my eyebrow at him and he shrugged and blushed.
We arrive at the strip club and drinks are flowing the moment we get there. I pay for Taemin to get a private dance in the back while the rest of the guys are enjoying the ladies stripping. When Taemin came back, he dug right into the cake Minho had gotten for him which led to everyone, including myself, to grab piece of cake.
I watched the women with the guys until it was a little after 3am when the guys were ready to go. Minho stuck close to me for the whole night, caressing me, teasing me unnecessarily. I was convinced I would be able to satisfy my craving I had for sex, Lord know it had been nearly a month since Minho and I had been intimate. Sadly when we got back to the hotel I was shocked to find manager Choi along with Melody waiting for us in the lobby of the hotel.
"Have fun?"
"Yes! Best night of my life!" Taemin shouted in Korean. Luckily there was noone in the lobby at the time. I shot a look at Jinki and Minho and neither seemed to know why both Jin and Melody were waiting for us.
”Good, hope you don't mind an escort up to your rooms. Can't have anyone sneaking around..."
"We're not kids Jin, we are capable of watching ourselves." Key said, his voice full of sass. He had managed to sober up a bit.
"You guys were told not to take Crystal, and not to go to a strip club tonight. Two things you all clearly disobeyed not only me but Edgar on as well. Don't think I don't know about that stunt at Pacha tonight either. Now we're here to make sure nobody does anything they regret."
"Like what exactly? Crystal is not my type." Key said incredulously.
"It's not you I'm worried about." Jin snapped at Key before turning his attention to me. "Crystal. Go to your room with Melody. I'll be up there after I speak to the guys."
"Jin, there's no need. I was going to escort her up..."
"Oh and do what exactly Minho? Don't try to play innocent. Your intentions are nothing but--"
I didn't hear the rest of the conversation because Melody was literally pulling me away. Not that I had the power to stop her, I was blitzed.
"You're wasted huh?"
"Yeah..." I was able to mutter out.
"Well, I don't trust Jin as far as I can throw him, I hardly know the guy but I see the way he looks at you. I don't like it." I cocked my head to the side.
"Whadoyamean?" I slurred, tried to steady myself against the elevator wall and pay attention to what Melody was saying.
"I'm saying I have a feeling he followed you guys tonight. The man's a predator if I ever saw one. Look when we get to your room, let me handle him. I'm not letting him anywhere near you."
"Okay." I said. The next thing I know I'm being led to my room and Melody grabs my key from my purse and lets the both of us.
The next thing I do is fall onto my bed and pass out.
