Too Many Coincidences

Chapter Twenty

-Sabrina’s P.O.V.-

“It is now time for the group singing performances! There is no complex dancing involved although you may dance a bit. I can’t wait to hear what everyone has written yesterday~ I bet it’s great!” YoonA said cheerily and everyone smiled at her comment.

“So! With that, here is Double S from Cheonggu High School! They will be singing their song… ‘Find.’ Take it away boys,” Taecyeon stepped out of the way and a beautiful orchestra started in the beginning of the song. I could tell that they were probably going to win.

‘Song: Find by SS501 some of the English Translation:’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf67FD3Rt4Y

‘Even me, even me
My heart has become desperate
What should I, what should I do?

Too far away, this love is too far away
It's you that my heart definitely can't give up

I'm here to find your laughter
I'm here to catch all the painful tears from your heart
I'll definitely make a way to not forget your transparent love
Surely we'll find our love again’

--

                ‘Wah, HyunJoong oppa has such a soothing and amazing voice~’ I thought throughout the middle of the song. My jaw was dropped down and my eyes were focused on him. Occasionally, he would look in my direction and smile. I giggled inside and clapped as they walked off stage.

“That was amazing…” I said to myself and JongHyun snickered.

“You think that was good? Wait until you hear ours,” he said proudly crossing his arms over his chest.

“Yeah! I can’t wait!” I mocked him and stuck my tongue out.

--

            The next group was JaWoon High School, or Desarae’s school to be exact. She was dressed in a cute dress and the microphone was waiting under to sing. Surprisingly, that girl, MinAh, was at the back while her friend, IU, was up in the front ready to sing. I was eager to hear Desarae sing and how the quiet friend of MinAh would sing as well.

‘Song: You and I by IU- some of the English Translation:’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_iQRO5BdCM

The whispered secrets as I look at the clock
The sincere story in my heart
It's okay if I am hurt
The more I am pushed, the better
Please call out my name

* I'm afraid my heart will be revealed in between my hands
My heart is overwhelmed, it's sad
Please wait a bit more and wait for me
You and I, we can't be right now
I want to push on the clock even more but
In the future, which you will be in
Please call out my name

The times that I first peeped at
You and I, we were together
I like you, who plays with me
If I ask you, you like me too
What is my name?
--

“Wah! Amazing!!” I gasped and JongHyun snickered. “Why are you always being so rude?” I yelled at him and his face turned serious.

The next group to come up was Sohee’s school. I looked towards SeoHyun who was trying her best not to pay attention towards them. On the other hand, YongHwa had no problem controlling his stare. I shook my head in disgust and hoped SeoHyun did not look up.

“Hmph.” I scoffed and slouched in my seat.

“What’s wrong with you now?” JongHyun pulled my elbow.

“I really hate that girl… Sohee.” I mumbled.

“Hate is a very a strong word!” he gasped sarcastically and I returned it with a sarcastic look.

‘My friends tell me that they think you like me
I don't know why but I feel the same way
But what if it's not like that, what if only I think this way like a fool
Because of fears like that I don't know what to do
 

(Whenever I see you) Even if I try to read your thoughts
(Every time I see you) I get a different feeling, I don't know what it is
 

*If you like me hurry and tell me
Why do you keep making me anxious
If you like me just get some courage
I'm waiting, why don't you just come you fool’

“Eck!” I gagged as they finished up the song. To be honest, the song was really good... it’s just that I wasn’t growing on Sohee. Even though she might’ve “changed” a bit... I was still curious about her.

“WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! WHAT HAPPENED HERE?! DID WE JUST SWITCH PERSONALITIES?!” JongHyun’s eyes widened.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to be such a hypocrite… but…. UH! I feel so sorry for SeoHyun…” I kept my voice down low just in case she would hear me. My mind flashed back to last night when Sohee was taking advantage over YongHwa. Bleh.

Suddenly, I felt alone and empty. I looked to my side to see JongHyun and the rest of the boys walking to the back of the stage. Hmm... show time!

“Next! From ChungJu High School... please welcome, Warrior! They will be singing No Other,” Yuri smiled and ran off the stage.

“Uhmm....” I looked to see Siwon nervously standing in the front of the stage. He was looking across the crowd when his eyes were stopped at something. I followed his gaze and saw him grinning at SeoHyun. Ooh... well this will be interesting... I smirked and waited for him to continue. “I would like to dedicate this song to a very very good friend of mine, Seo JooHyun.” He gave a cheeky smile and I saw SeoHyun blush. I bet they’d make a cute couple... YongHwa seems to be ignoring her anyway. Rude, but true in my eyes.

‘Song: No Other by Super Junior- Some of the English Translation~’

There’s no one like you, even if I look around it’s just like that
Where else to look for? A person good like you, a person good like you, a heart good like you, a gift good like you
How lucky, the person who will try hard to protect you is just me
Where else to look for? A guy happy like me, a guy happy like me, a guy who laughs with the greatest happiness like me

Your two warm hands get cold when I’m cold, your heart which used to be strong gets sensitive when I’m hurt
To silently take my hands, to silently hold me, I only wish for those small comforts
You don’t know this heart of mine, which always wants to do more for you

My heart, say it out loud, my free soul
The days left are even more than the time when I came love you with a heart which always felt like the first time

-----------

-SeoHyun’s POV-

I was touched that Siwon was dedicating his songs to me and I respected him for all of that. He didn’t have to do all this for me... I waved at him as they finished up and he grinned. I looked back to see all of the girls’ going backstage to get ready for our upcoming performance.

--

-JongHyun’s POV-

“Next up we have from ChungJu High School... Girls’ Generation! They will be singing their song, My J!” Ha... funny title... I chuckled quietly to myself as the girls came up on stage.

‘Song: My J by Girls Generation- Some of the English Translation~’

When people say that you get prettier when you're in love-
I guess that's really true
I'm always smiling for no reason and without knowing, I resemble you
It's definitely weird

Soft but sometimes thick and clear and slightly bright
I love you My J, My My J My J, I love you
With me-

* When I am together with you I am so happy
Can you see? My heart is together 365 every day
When I see you, I don't know what to do
I'm so obvious that I just start laughing
What do you? I can't live without you, My lovely J!

-------

As the song ended, I watched as SeKyung gave the crowd her beautiful smile and went off stage. Ahh... My SeKyungie... So cute! I let out a small laugh and watched as Sabrina took her seat next to me. Why was I sitting next to her anyway? Oh yeah... we were rushed in here and I couldn’t find SeKyung.

“Ah.... Good job,” I rubbed Sabrina’s head viciously and she flicked it off.

“Well that’s the end of our group performances! Let’s give everyone a hand!” Chansung yelled over the microphone and we all cheered. “We will be evaluating the winners for this round, so that gives you time to work on the solo performances! You have exactly 45 minutes! Good luck!” And with that, we dispersed into separate areas with our schools.

“So are you guys ready?!” HyungJun shouted.

“Yup! We’re going to kick some ! Haha!” Joi replied. I smiled at her remark. She’s always confident in what she does. Of course I was ready; I’m used to performing on stage in front of people. And this crowd was probably the least I’ve had to deal with. I looked around me to see everyone practicing; some of them singing and some of them dancing. I let out a tired sigh and turned my head to see Sabrina standing away from us by herself pacing back and forth. I shrugged and walked over to her.

“I’m guessing you’re nervous, right?” I chuckled as she gave me a glare.

“Anni... I just don’t want to mess up!” she stuck her tongue out at me and walked to another empty spot.

“Well good luck!” I called after her and sat myself next to SeKyung who was watching everyone rehearse. She seemed ready to go as well.

“Annyeong,” I smiled and she giggled.

“Annyeong,” she replied and rubbed my back. Ah. What a beautiful and nice girlfriend I have. I kissed her gently on the cheek and she looked at me with a meaningful stare.

“Saranghae,” she whispered as she snuggled up to my side.

“Saranghae,” I replied and we both waited until we were called back to our seats.

-Sabrina’s P.O.V.-

AHHH!! What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?! I breathed heavily as I paced back and forth in one empty spot. I was very nervous to sing the song that I had written all by myself. I didn’t know why I chose to sing rather than come up with a dance, but I already had written something a long time ago and I thought I was ready for it... apparently not. I started to sing the song quietly to myself when I heard a voice come beside me.

“I’m guessing you’re nervous, right?” I looked up and saw Kim JongHyun chuckling. I scoffed and answered.

“Anni... I just don’t want to mess up!” I stuck my tongue out at him and walked to another free spot... away from him.

“Well good luck!” I could hear from a distance. I rolled my eyes and watched as he sat on the ground beside his girlfriend. For some reason, I couldn’t help but glare at them. I was angry that they didn’t have to worry about performing and were just watching everyone in enjoyment. This isn’t a show, guys! Some people are actually nervous right now.... well..... me mostly. I watched as JongHyun kissed SeKyung’s cheek and she replied with a hug. I want a relationship like that... I sighed and kept practicing over and over again.

----
 

“Girls? You ready?!” I woke up from my daydream and saw one of the instructors giving out instructions. I couldn’t believe we were the second group to go up and do our solo performance. My heart was beating fast.... I was so nervous. “If you don’t mind.... I’d like to put you guys in a certain order so could I have... Lizzy, Victoria, Joi, SeKyung, SeoHyun, and Sabrina line up here? Lizzy you will be first,” YoonA explained and left us at that note.

“Ahh! Good luck Lizzy-ssi!” SeoHyun giggled and Lizzy jumped up and down.

“I’m so excited! Thanks eonnie!” they both hi-fived each other and I looked at her in shock. She’s excited?! How?? I gulped and watched as she was called onto stage.

Out of all of the girls, Lizzy probably looked the cutest in her outfit. Yesterday, we had all decided that the theme for the girls’ outfits was tube tops/tank tops and shorts. Then you could accessorize however you wanted to. I didn’t know why everyone agreed to it, but it was the easiest thing to cope with since everyone should have at least a tank top of some sort... It is summer after all. Surprisingly, most of the girls had tube tops and SeoHyun even let me have her extra one. Although for me, I felt awkward. I wasn’t much a tube top/tank top wearer but it had to do.

-Lizzy’s POV-

As I walked onto the stage, I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. I let out a big smile and got into my position. I was set to dance to Lady Gaga’s Telephone. The rules were that if you were going to dance, you didn’t have to make a song, but you had to choose from a series of songs that were listed, luckily I was able to get a good pop song. As for singing, you had to write your own record. I wasn’t much of a singer, but more of a dancer. The song started and I gave it all I got, I wanted my cousin’s school to win of course! But as I performed, my eyes were only watching Siwon who was smiling at me. I felt so good inside and I got butterflies in my stomach. It wasn’t from performing in front of a lot of people, but from looking at Siwon oppa. Yes, it’s true. I had a deep crush on the dreamy junior boy... and I hope he had one on me too.

-Victoria’s POV-

Once Lizzy finished up, I gave her a thumbs-up and positioned myself on stage. Whoo! I can do this! I cheered in my head and scanned the crowd to see Nichkhun waving at me. I chuckled and waited for the music to start. The song, When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls started and all I could see was Nichkhun cheering me on.

-Joi’s POV-

Yay! Victoria and Lizzy were amazing! Now it’s my turn... as I walked up on stage I heard a familiar voice call out my name.

“Whoo! Go Joi!” I looked forward and saw HyungJun laughing like a maniac. I couldn’t help but let out a little giggle. He was like the little brother I’ve never had. He was so foolish and crazy... it shows how we are so much alike! I got ready as Ke$ha’s Tik Tok started to play. It wasn’t my first pick, but everyone else had chosen the ones I wanted, but I was okay with this! It was a great song to dance to!

-SeKyung’s POV-

The three girls were amazing. I just hoped that I would be as good as them! I smiled as Joi ran past me and I took her place. I kept my eyes on the crowd as Britney Spears’ Circus started. I gave them a small smile as I started to dance. JongHyun was cheering for me in the distance. I kept my energy up as he kept me motivated.

-SeoHyun’s POV-

I was surprised to see SeKyung dance so amazingly. She was most known for acting... not dancing some hardcore hip-hop! My face was in shock as I watched her dance. She was incredible. I think she should become a professional dancer alongside with her acting career. As the crowd cheered for her, I made my way on stage. My gaze focused on YongHwa who was grinning at me. I decided to forgive him of his actions earlier, so I returned a small smile. My chosen song, Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna played and I danced my heart out.

-Sabrina’s POV-

“And now... the last performance of the girls’ team from ChungJu High School... here is... Sabrina Hanks!” Taecyeon shouted into the mic and I winced. I managed to put on a fake smile as I reached the microphone stand that was waiting for me. I gulped and began to talk into it.

“Annyeonghaseyo... I’m Sabrina Hanks and I’ll be singing my song... Catch Me... I tried to put the lyrics in Korean... haha... so here it goes...” I looked to the technician at the back of the stage and gave him the cue. He started my song and I began to sing.

-Song: Catch Me by Demi Lovato- (I know it’s not an original song... but I was too lazy to make one... :P)- Lyrics:

Before I fall

Too fast

Kiss me quick

But make it last

So I can see

How badly this will hurt me

When you say goodbye

Keep it sweet

Keep it slow

Let the future pass

And don't let go

But tonight

I could fall too soon

Under this beautiful moonlight

 

But you're so hypnotizing

You got me laughing while I sing

You got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling

But please don't catch me...

 

See this heart

Won't settle down

Like a child running

Scared from a clown

I'm terrified

Of what you do

My stomach screams

Just when I look at you

Run far away

So I can breathe

Even though you're

Far from suffocating me

I can't set my hopes too high

'Cause every hello ends with a

goodbye

 

But you're so hypnotizing

You got me laughing while I sing

You got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling

But please don't catch me...

 

So now you see

Why I'm scared

I can't open up my heart

without a care

But here I go

It's what I feel

And for the first time in my

life I know it's real

 

But you're so hypnotizing

You got me laughing while I sing

You got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling

So please don't catch me

If this is love please don't break me

I'm giving up so

At the end of my performance I bowed and ran off the stage. Well... now that that’s over... I finally reached my seat and all my friends squealed at my performance. I was happy that they enjoyed it.

“Wah... that was really good Sabrina-ssi!” JongHyun whispered towards me and I grinned.

“Komawa...” I thanked him and watched as the boys left to go get ready.

-JongHyun’s POV-

“Here is the lineup for you guys.... It’ll be Park JungMin, Lee TaeMin, Kim HyungJun, Kim KiBum, Lee Minho, Nichkhun Horvejkul, Siwon, Lee JinKi, Kim JongHyun, and Jung YongHwa. Good luck!” Yuri explained and went back on the stage. JungMin hyung started us off and we cheered him on.

-Siwon’s POV-

The guys before me were all good, but I thought that I was going to be the best. I grinned as I thought of the song that I had also made for SeoHyun and had hoped to win her heart. As Nichkhun finished up, I made my way on stage. I grabbed the mic and winked at SeoHyun. I didn’t have to tell anyone who this was for, this was a secret between me and her, and I hoped that she knew it.

-Song: What If by Super Junior- FULL English Translation-

It seems as though 
the accumulated time is being greedy
Seeing as it hurts more today than yesterday... oh girl
--
It was after I realized that I couldn’t be totally happy 
With that smile towards me, that there was nothing special, baby
--
What if... it seems like you’re going to love me
--
Because it seems like you’re going to come to me if I wait just a little..
--
With these anticipations, I can’t leave you
--
Even though I know that as time accumulates, it becomes pain... oh girl
--
Even though I wanted to believe that that smile was just for me
It probably isn’t, right? But still... Just maybe…
--

What if... I met you first...
--
No, if I didn’t know you
--
These thoughts are useless...
--
For I’m already living in the deeply set times of you
--
Even though love increases as much as time’s weight, 
--
Even though pain is heavy
Still, I  feel like you’ll love me
--
Because it seems like you’re going to come to me if I wait just a little...
--
With these anticipations, I can’t leave you
--
Even though I know that the accumulated time has made today...
Oh girl Oh~ lady

--------

-SeoHyun’s POV-

Wow. That was amazing. As his song ended, I couldn’t help but applaud the loudest out of everybody. I even stood up from my seat. The song touched me so much that I couldn’t even think straight. The song was depressing with a story behind it but pretty at the same time. Why has Siwon changed so much? He used to be the most careless person in the world and now... he’s full of deep secrets and emotions? How? I shook my thoughts from my head and watched as he left the stage.

---------

-Kim JongHyun’s POV-

Next up was me. I waved to everybody as I walked onto stage and I could even see some girls faint... very interesting. I introduced myself and the song I was about to sing, “Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Kim JongHyun and I’m going to sing my own personal song, So Goodbye, this was a song that I had written when I was very young.... I don’t know what made me write this song, haha, but here it is!”

-Song: So Goodbye by Kim JongHyun- Some of the English Translation-

So goodbye don’t cry and smile

Those emotional days

I will treat it as a gift and give you

So goodbye , to the lonely me who once hid in the dark

I need you

I need your love again

Just like waiting for every other day to arrive

Leaving the aching wound and sad recollection of me

The impression of seeing you for the first time

As if the time has stopped, my eye has got only you

Although there is a setback

I won’t regret

Closing my eyes

I could feel you breathing

So I could smile

-----

-YongHwa’s POV-

It was finally my turn.... I waited as JongHyun finished up and I took his place on stage. I held my guitar close to me and cleared my throat. “Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Jung YongHwa and I’ll be singing, The Banmal Song,” I smiled shyly and quickly looked over to SeoHyun. “I’d also like to dedicate this song to the beautiful, Seo JooHyun,” I glanced at her to see her face turning red. I smiled at her cute reaction and began to sing.

-Song: The Banmal Song by Jung YongHwa (CN Blue)- Some of the English Translation-

The day when I first saw you
Your bright smile full of shyness
we’ll get closer after today
every day, I have heart-fluttering expectations
what to say to you
how to get you to laugh
I fear it’ll get awkward when I try to hold your hand
all I can do is smile shyly
 

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other
even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar
instead of saying ‘thank you’
talk to me in a friendlier way

-SeoHyun’s POV-

YongHwa oppa’s song truly made me smile. Once he finished, he winked at me and left the stage. What’s up with everyone making songs for me? I chuckled quietly and brushed it out of my mind. I was just grateful to have such loving friends. But one thing for sure though, is I’ll never forget that cheerful song made for me. I’ll treasure it always... My mind finally realized something... Jung YongHwa will always be my first love and nothing will get in between us.

-Sabrina’s POV-

I was glad that our school had finished doing our solo performances... now we didn’t have to worry about it anymore!

Next up was Desarae’s school. First up to sing was that one girl... MinAh. I rolled my eyes as she literally pranced on stage. She made weird “cutesy” facial expressions as she danced to Katy Perry’s California Girls.

Then came the other girl part of her posse, JiYul. She danced to Beyoncé’s Countdown. She was okay...

After her was three random girls and then IU, MinAh’s other friend. My eyes widened as she came onstage. She looked really sweet. I smiled softly as she began dancing to Valerie by Amy Winehouse. She was actually pretty good.... no wonder MinAh is always mean to her... she’s talented... hehe.

Finally came Desarae, I cheered loudly for her and she gave me a quick thumbs-up. She was also dancing... Was I the only girl that actually sang? I shrugged it off and watched her perform. The song, We Speak No Americano started and I clapped my hands wildly. She had the perfect song! I watched in amazement as she pulled off amazing dance moves and tricks... I think she might win for her whole school. Once it ended, I yelled her name and cheered loudly for my awesome friend.

Next came EunKwang High School... or Sohee’s school... I slumped in my seat as she carefully placed herself at the center stage and gave the que to the technician.  Beyoncé’s Single Ladies  started. Of course, that’s the perfect song for her. My eyes wandered everywhere and never focused on her dancing. It was quite rude of me, but I had to stick up for SeoHyun. I couldn’t bear to see SeoHyun’s heart break on this trip. I was ready to fight for my friend.

Many other schools continued, when I began to fall asleep. My head fell drowsily to its side when it was forcefully pushed off. I looked to the figure to see Kim JongHyun smirking at me.

“Sleepy, huh?” he chuckled.

“Neh...” I sighed and tried to widen up my eyes.

“You can sleep then, I’ll wake you up when it’s over,” he replied kindly.

“Jinjja? Komawa!” I whispered and allowed my eyes to shut.

“But... you’ll miss your HyunJoong ‘oppa’s’ performance,” he snickered.

“WHA-?!” I immediately popped back up and he laughed hysterically. “Yah! That’s not funny! And keep your voice down!” I lectured him as he silently laughed to himself.

My eyes watched as Kim HyunJoong oppa ran across the stage. I waved slightly at him and he grinned. I spazzed inside as he began to dancing to Usher’s Yeah. I clapped along to the beat when he pulled off an amazing backflip and exited off stage. Ahh... dreamy... I smiled and let my eyes droop back to sleep. There were still many people left to perform.
