[FF] MIROTIC - DBSK Changmin

MIROTIC

Written by: Lolita Choi

Starring: Shim Changmin

“Huaaa… Hyung, I can’t and I don’t want to do it…” Changmin whined while pulled Yoochun’s shirt. Yoochun healed his breathe, and there he goes again with his childish side, said his mind while looked at the maknae.

“Then what should we do? Tell me, which part you think you can’t make it?” he asked with a higher pitch, well, although he thought he already knew the reason…

“I’m shy…”

There. His feeling was right.

AARRGHH! Yoochun ran his hand through his hair. Why his little group-mate has to be this innocent??

“Saranghaneun Changmin-ah, this song’s a real good, you know? And plus our dance, I’m sure we could do bestselling wherever we are… You will try it, won’t you?” he persuaded with a little more tender tone. If it was not because everybody has trusted him to teach this little boy how to sing their upcoming single with a proper feeling—considering his track record as a womanizer whom hobby is flirting, he must have been tortured his dearest dongsaeng from the beginning.

Mirotic. That’s the title of the song Changmin refused to sing. Okay, we should admit that the lyrics may be a little bit provocative, but guaranteed, it isn’t any vulgar at all! Yoochun felt helpless. Changmin saw his hyung’s expression. Poor Chunnie Hyung… he thought.

“Okay I will, but just don’t rush me to quickly get it okay?”


“Neon nareul won he (You want me),
Neon naege bbajeo (You’ve fallen for me),
Neon naege micheo (You’re crazy for me),
Neon… neon… (You’re… you’re…)” again, Changmin cannot continue his singing, for the eighth time.

Yoochun almost went crazy. “Changminnie! Gosh… when will you stop fooling around? We haven’t even passed the reff since we started!!”

“Huaa… Hyung-ah, why do the lyrics should be like these?” Changmin protested.

“Because it presents the grown-up us, you know? Why can’t you try to be just a bit ‘naughty’ sometimes? Come on, repeat again after me,
Neon naeui noye (You’re my slave)…”

“Neon naeui noye…” Changmin repeated flatly.

Yoochun exploded, “Shim Changmin!!”

“Uhh… I want to break for a moment Hyung, see ‘ya!!” Changmin rushed out from that empty studio while brought his jacket. He ran to his favorite spot in this whole SM Entertainment building, the rooftop. Just like Sanchai in Meteor Garden drama series, Changmin also loves yelling his thought from up here (he was inspired by Sanchai, actually). He also loves practicing dance, sing, or maybe writing some songs and doing his college homework alone here. It is more focus here, he said.
But this time, seems like someone has preceded him. A very pretty young lady stood there alone while holding to the rooftop’s stainless fence. We could see from her face that her age might be around 22-23 years old. She sang, not a familiar song to Changmin, but he must admit that the song and the young lady’s voice were amazing. Her back-length black hair swung smoothly because of the wind.

As if knew that someone was watching her, the young lady stopped her singing activity and looked to Changmin’s direction.

“An-Annyeong…” Changmin greeted nervously.

She smiled, “Annyeong.”

Pretty… thought Changmin. But then he shook his head continuously. What am I thinking about? Focus on singing, singing, and singing!

The young lady watched Changmin who was still busy shook his head. “What’s wrong?”

“A-Aniyo… Is Noona SME’s singer too?” asked Changmin, shifted the talk.

Then she smiled again, “Yes, back then. You too?”

“Ne.” Changmin answered while took some steps closer. “Noona’s voice’s really good! Do you like practicing here too? How come you don’t sing again? What’s your name, Noona?”

She laughed hearing Changmin’s in-line questions. “Is talking your hobby?”

“Ne, and I love eating too!” Changmin answered quickly while gave her a proud smile.

The young lady tried to hold her laugh which seems to explode right away, “Hmph, you are so innocent… umm…”

“Changmin, Shim Changmin.” He said. “Ne, Chunnie Hyung said that too… Joongie Hyung, Yunho Hyung, Junsu Hyung, everybody asked Chunnie Hyung to teach me how to sing this song with a proper mood, must be because they also thought that I am that innocent too… Is it really obvious, Noona? I mean my innocent?” he asked desperately.

Actually she wanted to laugh again, but instead, she took a look at Changmin softly. “Are you having a trouble on singing? Why? Come on share with me, maybe though I can’t help much, you will feel lighter because you have shared those thoughts of you…”

Changmin looked at the young lady’s face too. He didn’t expect that finally he can speak his mind with a more ‘acceptable’ way, rather than screaming and yelling uncontrollably from this rooftop.

“Noona!” Changmin waved his hand quickly to that lady’s direction. She turned her head. The wind flowed the bottom ruffle from her pretty white midi dress smoothly. Today they had appointment to meet on this rooftop and practice singing. He didn’t know why, but Changmin felt more ‘free’ practicing with her instead of Yoochun, so he forced this lady to accompany him practicing, just to help him singing his hyungs’ part in the song.

“Here is the song’s draft. The flow is like this,” Changmin said while gave the song draft paper and sang the song’s rhythm.

“Oh, okay I get it.” The young lady nodded. “So, shall we try now?”

Changmin nodded certainly. Let’s give it a try!

“Sijakeun dalgumhage pyeongbeomhage naehge kkeul lyeo (The start is sweet, a common attraction),
Eonjaena geu retdeus-ee meonjeo mareul geureowa (Approaching me, you said it would always be this way)…”

Instead of continued the song and sang his part, Changmin shut his mouth.

The young lady gave him a confused look, “Why? Why don’t you sing? It should be your part after me.”

“Your way of singing was very similar to Joongie Hyung’s! That kind of feeling… you really got the passionate feeling of the song! How dare you, it should be me who have to master the song!!” Changmin’s face glum.

She laughed, “Hahaha, then you have to master the song! Don’t lose over me… OK?”

“YEAH! I can do it! HWAITING!!” Changmin yelled spiritfully.

“Okay let’s try again…”

Since then, they always practice in the rooftop everyday. In a short time, Changmin’s singing was getting better and better and he started to get the proper feeling of the song. The recording could be done perfectly. This thing indeed not only made some curiosities but also a relief among his hyungs. And the one who got the compliment was of course, Yoochun.

“Great, Yoochun Hyung! DBSK’s Casanova has made a miracle in turning our ‘super-innocent’ Changminnie this time!” Junsu praised his brother, Yoochun. Yoochun smiled proudly.

“And who said that Yoochun Hyung’s the one that turned me out?” Changmin who suddenly entered the room protested that appraisal.

“Ya! What do you mean kid? Are you trying to tell everyone that I don’t have any part in turned you out to be like this, huh?” Yoochun grumbled while circled his arm around Changmin’s neck and pinched his little brother’s cheek. Yunho, Jaejoong, and Junsu laughed.

“Ouch, ouch! Okay, okay, you have part!” Changmin shouted while got out of Yoochun’s arm. “—but just a super-tiny part.” He continued then run away immediately. Yoochun chased him angrily. They then played run-and-chase for about 10 minutes before went back to the dressing room of that TV station with sweats all over their body.

“Omo~ Minnie, Chunnie, go take a shower in a bathroom beside that toilet first! How come idols have sweats all over them~?” their girlie-boy make-up artist protested when he saw Changmin and Yoochun.

“Later on, Hyung—“ Changmin answered which immediately interrupted by the make-up artist’s head-shake.”Okay, okay, later on, NOONA, there’s something I want to tell my Hyungs first… We still have one hour before the show, right?” Changmin asked and quickly turned to his brothers.

“Hyung-ah! I think… I think… I think I… I think I am falling in love!” Changmin said, spiritful yet shy—weird combo. His hyungs faced him excitedly, finally he shows his interest to a girl, they thought.

“Ah, then I see why he can get this song that fast… It really is not because of you, Yoochun-ah.” Jaejoong commented while gave the pissed off Yoochun an evil smile.

“Yes, Joongie Hyung, it’s all because of noona!” Changmin justified Jaejoong’s comment with a still-powerful-spirit.

“Noona? What’s her name? Where’d you two met? How old is she?” asked Yunho the leader, worried. We’ll be in trouble if the press knew that this kid had an affair with an older woman, he thought.

“Park Jiwon. Her name’s pretty, right? She was a former singer from SME, I think she is in the same age as Joongie Hyung. We met in the office (they called SME as their office).” Changmin explained with sparkling eyes. His hyungs shook their heads. Until now, there was only one time they found Changmin talked about something with his sparkling eyes, and it was when they went home from freely tasted lots of cakes in one of SME’s artist’s cake shop. It was a real obvious that they little brother really liked this woman.

Yunho, Jaejoong, and Junsu turned their faces to Yoochun. He knew all women in SME, therefore, he should be able to give them a short comment whether they should agree or not.

“Park Jiwon? I don’t know her but I think I have heard the name…” Yoochun commented while took a remembrance.

“Had she resign? Which agency she attends now?” Yunho asked.

“Nope, she doesn’t continue singing, she said. But I don’t know why… She seldom come to the office just when she miss it and sing for a moment on ‘my rooftop’.” Changmin explained. His hyungs named the place ‘Changmin’s rooftop’, because it was only Changmin who always go there by himself.

“You guys would love her. Guaranteed.” Changmin added while closed the discussion. He ran—half bounced—towards the bathroom. After his left, his brothers straightly went into a debate.

“If you guys ask me, I’ll say, just let him. It’s his first love, too mean if we screw it just because the woman is older than him.” Junsu said.

“It’s not that it is his first love, but having an affair with an older woman might bring him a negative image, you know?” Yunho cut. As the leader, he was the one who should take the responsibility regarding this group’s image…

“Ya, Yoochunnie! Have you remembered yet?” Jaejoong asked. Yoochun still closed his eyes tightly while remembered. Park Jiwon, Park Jiwon…

“Park Jiwon!” Yoochun shouted. In a zap, every eye turned on him. “What I remember is that she was our sunbae. Last time I heard, about a year before our debut, she was going to have a solo debut but all of a sudden, it was cancelled. Ever since, I never hear anything no more…”

“Is she pretty?” Junsu asked. Silly question that didn’t has to be answered according to Yoochun. Of course she’s pretty!!

“So, what do we have to do?” asked Jaejoong.

“Hello? There’s a technology called the internet… Why don’t you just surf the office’s website? Well, I have to hurry take a bath now. See ‘ya.” advised Yoochun while took a walk outside the artist’s room.

Junsu the gadget freak straightly took his laptop out of his bag. They then opened the SME’s site and successfully got into the archive of pre-debut artists. A year before they debuted, so it should be around 2002-2003, right? Click here, click there, and finally they came up with this Park Jiwon’s personal data.

“Whoa, pretty…” was Junsu’s first comment as soon as he saw Park Jiwon’s photo.

“Scroll right there, Junsu—“ as soon as Yunho instructed Junsu, suddenly their manager came in. Junsu quickly closed his laptop’s lid; they would be in danger if they were busted while surfing on office’s archives.

”Ya! Have you guys ready yet? Where are Yoochun and Changmin?”

“They are bathing, Hyung.” Yunho answered.

“Tell them to hurry; we’ll on air in thirty minutes.” The manager asked which replied with the three’s nodding heads.

After the manager was out, they were straightly going to open Junsu’s laptop once again when…

“Hyung-ah…!” Changmin greeted cheerfully while closed the door behind them. He sat in front Junsu, who quickly closed his laptop again.

“Let this continue tomorrow.” Yunho hopeless while gave Junsu a smooth slap on his shoulder.

“Let ‘what’ continue tomorrow? What were you guys doing? What, Hyung, what??” Changmin asked noisily with his mouth which quickly shut by Jaejoong’s own palm.

“So let us see…” said Yoochun who were seriously involved with Junsu’s laptop while stick his tongue a bit, a sign that he was very spiritful in breaking their ex-sunbae’s mystery the day after at the office. Yunho, Jaejoong and Junsu didn’t mind stacking on each other as long as they still could see the laptop’s 14” screen.

Name : Jiwon Park
Place, Date of Birth : Seoul, 20-04-1981

“Huh, how could Changmin said that she is in the same age to Jae-ya?” commented Yunho.

“Hey hey, see that!” Jaejoong shouted while pointed his finger to the bottom of the article. Suddenly, everybody was stunned. “So this is why her album project was cancelled… Then our Changmin??” they exchanged frightened faces.

Deceased : 13-10-2002 (car accident)


“Jiwon Noona!” called Changmin cheerfully while brought two cans of Diet Coke. They had an appointment to meet today again on this rooftop. Changmin handed her one of the Diet Coke can.

“Jeongmal gamsahamnida, Park Jiwon-ssi…” Changmin said with a deep bow. Jiwon smiled.

“You’re welcome. You are indeed a smarty, Changmin-ah.” Answered Jiwon while ran her hand through Changmin’s hair. Changmin smiled brightly. “There, Changminnie, I have to go. My work is done here… Annyeonghaseyo…” Jiwon gave him a deep bow and straightly turned her body.

Changmin held her hand. “There’s… something I want to tell you.”
Jiwon smiled, “I knew it. I love you too, Changmin. But we are living in two totally different worlds…”

“Andwae! I don’t care whether you are a commoner and I’m a star, they don’t have the right to prohibit me from doing what I want!”

Jiwon stunned and felt like laughing at the same time, “A-Aniyo, you mislead it…”

“Mwo? But Yunho Hyung always said that…” Changmin said confusedly.

“I’ll tell you something, but you have to promise that you won’t shock. Will you?”

Changmin stepped into the dance studio where his dearest brothers were there. He straightly welcomed by Yunho who was waiting for him.

“Minnie, where have you been? There’s something we need to tell you …”
Then they sat on the studio’s floor, rounding. Yunho took the duty of explaining the thing which burdened by the other members with a reason, “You’re the leader, Hyung!”

They never thought that Changmin already knew it too. And now it was him telling a story Jiwon told before.

“I myself was once a shy girl indeed, same as the-2-weeks-ago you. But they all said that I’m all talented and pretty, therefore I decided to enlist as a trainee here. After my long work hard to clear this shyness, they finally offered me a project of a solo album. I was really happy, everyday I kept practicing and prepared everything until midnight, but I never felt tired. I guess ‘I’ didn’t felt tired, but eventually, a body couldn’t lie. A day before the recording day I’ve been waiting for, I past away from a car accident. I was sleepy when I drove my car, could be because my body was inside exhausted. Maybe because I still felt that there was something ‘unfinished’, my soul stayed here. Until the day I met you, and I realized that you are my ‘unfinished business’. We really are similar, so I felt that I had to help you clear that shyness of you and sang the song properly. Now I satisfied already that I had helped you and myself, therefore I am ready to go. And now is your turn to help me, keep your singing, because you are very talented…”

“Why do I feel the goosebumps?” Junsu commented which straightly replied by Yunho’s slap on his leg.

“Stay tough, Minnie…” Jaejoong said, supported his little brother.

Changmin smiled, “It’s okay Hyung, besides, Yunho Hyung always said that we still aren’t allowed dating, right?”

“But this kid is really pathetic; his first love eventually a ghost! Come on…” Yoochun kid him sarcastically.

Changmin stared at him. “Yoochun Hyung, Jiwon Noona is behind you now…” he said with a flat voice.

“AAAA…!! Shim Changmin, Shim Changmin! Don’t you dare…” Yoochun screamed while hid behind Yunho’s shoulder. Changmin laughed, but the others also stared at him sharply like he was a dork.

Changmin realized his hyungs’ looks, “Aigoo, there’s nothing there, Hyung… Jiwon Noona has rest in peace now… I’m just kidding then, just kidding…” he said while laughed loudly. Junsu, Jaejoong, Yunho, dan Yoochun felt relief right away.


Actually, there was the last part of his conversation with Jiwon that Changmin did not tell his hyungs;

“Did you know? Mirotic’s Korean title is ‘Jumoon’ (Magic Spell), and as for me, Noona’s presence is a ‘jumoon’ which has spelled me to be like this, the more confident Changmin. I love you.”

And the last line Jiwon told him is the most precious one for Changmin which he wanted to keep himself, the line that stated that Changmin’s first love was not one-sided, a line that able to keep Changmin smiled even after Jiwon left him…

“I too love you, really love you, Changmin-ah…”
