Juliette Chapter 40 Cover:

They were young and inexperienced. Their parenting skills were questionable; some wondered if ‘the baby can really raise a baby.’ But shining with all of the potential in the world, boy group SHINee proved themselves capable of raising a baby.Through all of the tears, stressful challenges, temper tantrums, and fierce competitions, SHINee showed us what it means to laugh and to love. Three years ago, SHINee touched the Nation’s hearts while opening up theirs, and three years ago, we watched SHINee say goodbye to their roles as parents. Until now…

Just when SHINee didn't think their plates could get anymore full, KBS's hit reality program, Hello Baby, decides that it wants to bring SHINee on for its eighth and final season. That's right, Baby! SHINee is back and ready to take on the challenge of being parents again, but is their new member, Hana, who never got the chance to be on Hello Baby the first time around, ready for what it takes to be an umma? How will this cycle of Hello Baby differ from the first? What new challenges await these six shining idols? But most importantly, what will their new baby be: a boy or a girl?

A month has passed since Key went on his blind date with Apink's Eunji. They've managed to remain friends but Key has struggled to find the courage to tell Jonghyun about what went down during that date. Don't worry - he plans to tell him someday. Well, that day turns out to be the day that Taemin and Naeun decide to visit the SHINee dorm for Chuseok and who just-so-happens to be joining them for that celebration? Eunji! And who else will be there but none other than his notoriously jealous boyfriend, Jonghyun. It's a Love Triangle that Key never imaged himself being in and he's unsure of how Jonghyun will react once he finds out that Eunji will be joining them. It shouldn't be a problem as long as Jonghyun doesn't find out about what happened on that date. He's not going to find out, right?

SHINee definitely has their hands full with a new little bundle of joy but their Comeback Season for Hello Baby won't be the only Comeback that they'll be making this fall. Apparently a full-length album wasn't enough to please SM, so it's been decided that SHINee will be releasing another album - their fifth mini-album. While filming the music video for their title song, Everybody, Hana begins to feel ill. There's an ache in her lower abdomen but those are just period cramps, right? Yet, why is there no blood? Why are these cramps making her throw up? Why has she suddenly turned feverish? Why are the cramps getting worse despite taking pain killers?

Suddenly, after doing a one-take for their music video, Hana takes a turn for the worse! The pain in her stomach is excruciating and she can't stop throwing up. An ambulance is called and rushes her to the hospital, leaving only one question left to be answered: what is wrong with Hana?!

Luckily, Hana is there to lend a helping hand as she comes up with an idea might be able to help Taemin with at least some of his problems but no one must ever know about it.

What idea does Hana propose? Will it actually be helpful or will it cause more problems down the road? After all, how can a plan be helpful if it has to be shrouded in so much secrecy? All Hana and Taemin know is that once their plan is put into action, there will be no going back and the aftermath will leave SHINee's maknaes closer than ever before.
