Time Machine
Waiting.I sat on the grass... The school lawn isn't full of students at this time... I waited for the girls. So far, I'm happy for Hyoyeon and Jessica, they started dating a while back. I'm proud of them. Yoona and Yuri as well.
As for me... I'm still here, waiting.
I ditched my girly outfit now... It's useless, but I can use it by the time I transfer. I wore my usual hoodie and dark pants now. Hidden from the others.
I looked at the lyrics, it seems like tomorrow is the presentation of our song. It was me and Jessica who decided on it. And Jessica told Tiffany.
It's been a long while now... Since I've talked to her...
I put on my headset, and I listened to the song... But slowly, I can feel the tears stream down my face.
"Taeng-yah, we're almost up." Jessica said.
"Yeah, sure." I said, smiling.
Then I saw her... She was there, just behind me. Like a ghost.
She spoke "Well, good luck out there."
"You too." I replied.
We reveled in the silence as time goes by and we went on the stage.
"So... Tiffany, Jessica, and Taeyeon... Please proceed..."
I cleared my throat as the music played... We started to sing...
Alone in this slightly wide room unlike always
It's over, guess it's over
The story that we made went in vain
We fell apart this easily
My voice started to tremble, but I went on...
One mistake, got a one regret
“No one’s perfect”
Even if I tried saying that,
Whatever I do, the wounds can’t heal
My mind suddenly thought of all the memories I shared with her... And how much it hurts...
I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine oh
I need a time machine oh
I closed my eyes as we went on...
The time I’m passing by alone is too slow
This mistake’s punishment is too heavy
The words that you last left
Up to now is replaying continuously
My heart still hurts
Just one mistake, just one regret
It’s selfish but it’s because love you
I felt the pain of the lyrics... But I continued to sing...
I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine
If I can jump through time and space and be able to meet you
Say, even if we come to the same conclusion,
there wouldn’t be any regrets for sure.
I started to tear up... As I remember everything she said... A tear escaped my eye...
Everything about her... Her smile, her face, her personality, her lips against mine, her warmth... All of her...
"You're everything I need, so it's alright."
I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
Before our memories are forgotten
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine
I immediately bowed, and rushed to the backstage, my tears overflowing...
Why does this have to hurt so damn much.
I went home and locked myself in my room...
Everything she did for me, is it even real?
Seoul, South Korea... Three months ago, two weeks after the first day...
"Taeyeon... Why don't we go out for coffee?"
"Sure."
As we walk to the coffee shop, I suddenly though of something.
"Why me?"
"What?"
"Why did you decide to be friends with me?"
"Because I wanted to..."
"But what did you see in me? I'm nothing special."
She faced me.
"You're wrong, I can see that you're an amazing person. You just don't show it to anyone."
She looked at me straight in the eyes, I can see that she wasn't lying, at all.
And I thought that everything will be alright...
