So, uh the idea of idols altering themselves to make the fans happy just popped into my head and told me to write, so I did.
I've been a fan of SHINee since their debut, and for people who've been in the fandom since the start, I'm sure we all have noticed how the boys changed during these two years.
I did this in under ten minutes at almost three in the morning.

He is the feminine one, with the sharp cheekbones and almond eyes. He's the umma, the fans say. He's the umma, the girl of the group, simply because feminine-looking Taemin-ah was already the maknae.

Every group needs an umma, the fans insist.

So he cooks, becomes the mother, nervous, prattling and controlling.


He has the high cheekbones, and the doe eyes, and the thin lips. He is not the leader or the maknae. He is not the lead singer, and nobody (especially the fans, God forbid) will ever think he's manly---not now, and certainly not in the next three years. So he is the diva, the beauty, the temptress, the temper, the one everyone is afraid to piss off.

And the fans nod, and scream and squeal, and they love it.

They love him for it.


(Somewhere inside, Kim Kibum is still there, lost, buried under the Key the fans have made. Sometimes he checks on him to see how he's doing. Sometimes he'd see a boy, who used to slide his matchboxes down the stair railings and make model airplanes.
And then he can't quite remember how that feels anymore.
Soon enough, he forgets about Kim Kibum entirely. He was just a face, just a face in old pictures that would sometimes surface on the net.)



Because now he was Key, the umma, the diva, the Almighty.

The fans are happy, content, ecstatic. He's in love with Jonghyun, he's in love with Onew, he's in love with Minho, they would say.


He will be whatever they want him to be.
