Mystery Lover Ch. 5
5 ~ ERIKA'S DAY
Taemin and the rest of the group arrived at the Music Center where they will be having their comeback. Like always he usually nervous appearing back on stage but as soon as he heard the music that all changes and he becomes Taemin of SHINee. He was getting ready as he changed out of his regular clothes and into the outfit that he would be wearing tonight.
He looked at himself in the mirror and honestly couldn't believe how he looked. He truthfully understood why Erika like to make fun of how he looked. He couldn't wait to for the end of this comeback so he could cut his hair. He turned back around and could hear the stage manager yelling for them to be ready in the next five minutes as they were next to perform.
Taemin inhaled and then exhaled before he placed the mic over his ear. He followed his group members as they headed up on stage to get ready to perform. Just as the music was about to come on, Taemin looked out into the audience and noticed a sign made for him. He moved his eyes lowered to see that the sign was made from Erika, who was cheering for him. He nervously smiled as he tried to make it seem like something else was going on with his members.
Just that moment the music started to play and it was time for him to perform....

Everyone was now back in the waiting room and Taemin was wiping away sweat from off of his face when his phone lit up in his bag. He reached for it to noticed a message with waiting for him. "You were awesome, hope you win for your next performance. And tell you hyungs that I'm sorry about earlier, it won't happened again. PROMISE." Taemin then noticed an attachment with the message it was a picture of Erika in a sorry position.
He just laughed as he placed the phone away to finish getting out of the outfit.

It was the next day and by now Taemin had already told his hyungs that Erika had apologizes for her attitude and that it won't happen again. They let it slide this one time but next time they wouldn't. As Taemin was walking out from their apartment and headed towards the elevator, he saw Erika come out of her apartment with a sad face.
He jogged over to her and she jumped when she didn't recognize who had come up to her. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"It's nothing," she said, wiping away tears.
"It must be something since you're literally crying, so what's wrong, Erika?" He asked again.
By now they were near the elevator waiting for it to arrive. "My dad had promised that he would be home for my birthday and he's stuck in a meeting in Europe," she answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Erika," Taemin said, trying to comfort her. "What don't we do something for your birthday. Since I'm free we can do something together."
Erika turned to Taemin smiling from ear to ear. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she almost caused him to fall forward. "I would like that, oppa."
She pulled back from him as the door open and in front of them was Minho standing with a bag of bagels. Taemin stepped back as he smiled to his hyung before Minho stepped out and they stepped into the elevator. As the elevator's door closed Taemin mouthed some words to Minho, "Sorry hyung, I'll explain later."

It was Saturday, Erika's birthday and as promised Taemin was going to spend the entire day with her. She had already made plans to visit all kinds of places since it was her birthday. Taemin came out of his room and saw his hyungs sitting on the couch as he was heading over to the front door to put his shoes on. "Taemin, be careful," Kibum warned.
"I know, hyung," He acknowledged. He slipped on his shoes grabbing his mask as he opens the front door to head out. He walks down the hallway towards Erika's apartment. He knocks twice before waiting for her to answer her door. A few minutes later, she came out of the place. She was wearing an oversize sweater that showed some of her tank tops that she had underneath it. She decided to wear jeans and flats since she knew that she would be walking a lot and had her hair tied up in her signature ponytail with her brown curls dangle through the scrunchies.
Taemin stared at her as she closed the door behind her and turned back to look at him. "What? Is there something wrong she asked him?"
Taemin closed his eyes before opening them once again. "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to seeing you without a uniform on, so this is different."
Erika adjusted her handbag over her shoulder she placed her keys inside of it. "I guess there's always a first, huh?" She said smiling.
She then grabbed Taemin's arms as they walked down to the elevator. They headed down the elevators and out the front door to grab a cab. They got into the cab as they headed to their first destination. An amusement park.
Anything that Erika wanted to do Taemin had no choice but to do it since he promised that anything that she chooses to do he would do it as well. He just didn't think she would choose to go on one of the fastest rides at the park. They stood to wait in line for a long time due to ride being very popular. Erika had her arm wrapped around Taemin and she could feel his body shaking.
She hit him on top of his head as he turns his attention down to her. "Are you really sure you want to come on this ride with me. I can go by myself," she said.
Taemin honestly wanted to okay and walk away allowing her to go alone. But he knew that she would be upset with him for doing that so he just shook his head no. "I'm okay, where next anyway so I might as well get on with you."
Erika pinched his cheeks before laughing at him. "Alright but don't scream when things get bad."
Taemin rolled his eyes as he followed her up the steps to the seats that were waiting for him to sit down in. "Like that would happen." He grabbed her wrist and the both of them sat down in the seat as the attendant checked them out before moving to the next person.
Inside Taemin's body his heart racing 10x faster due to being scared of the ride. He looked at Erika who was very excited about the ride starting that she was already yahoo with excitement.
As Taemin saw the way she was acting he was now starting to wonder about their friendship. Was Erika really this crazy when they first met or he just too blind that he had someone that was not a part of the celebrity life and he could be himself around them.
Before he could answer that question, his heart dropped down to his knees as the ride started to move. At that moment, all Taemin could do was close his eyes and pray that the ride ended as soon as it started.
