Petty

Written in the Wind of Whimsy

Prompt 6: Petty (max 1000 words)
Kim Jaejoong
536 words

I composed a song,
A song without you.
I composed a song,
Thinking about you.
I composed a song,
Hoping it’s with you.
I composed a song,
Dreaming it’s with you.
I composed a song,
You know I love you.
I composed a song,
We will wait for you.

 

Music was playing in the background, Jaejoong was in front of his computer listening intently to the song he just composed and he has not done the lyrics yet. He could not get to do it because he’s not satisfied with what he had done so far and felt that there was something missing.

His home was quiet and the only sound was the music he was playing. He was wearing a white deep round neck boxer shirt, his bottom red pajama, and his house slippers. He was not wearing any make-up, since he was in his own home, and he was not wearing any earrings nor rings.

Combed his blond hair with his hand before he moved his swivel chair towards his keyboard, and while listening to the song he tried to play a few keys to include to the music. He stopped and swiveled back his chair to his computer and stopped the song and hit the repeat button, and then swiveled back to his keyboard to play again a few keys to match to the song. He did it several times trying to match and fit in notes in-between the parts he thought was missing.

In this song, there will be the three of them singing and he had to think of their voices with the song, and with  a sigh he stopped what he was doing and thought how he missed composing for the five of them.

Remembering the past when they were all five together, working together, playing together, singing together, and dancing together.

He wished he could go back to the past when they were all together. And even not mind the small petty things they argued about. He wished he could have talked more or argued more. Maybe he’d let them get away with a lot of things. If only...

He missed their voices, missed cooking for them, missed their touch, missed their faces. . . he just missed them.

But after the accident that killed two members of their band, and landed the three of them in the hospital and afterwards they all needed a long time recuperating followed by a long time rehabilitating with physical therapies.  It was said that it was a miracle they survived.

They were in the hospital fighting for their lives and could not attend the funeral. And afterwards it took them a long time before the three of them could even visit the cemetery.

Now, the present day, the three of them had to move on without them.

The other two left him to compose this song, a song he wished they could sing for the other two members.

They live in their hearts, forever alive, and for them they will go on with their dream.

He went back to finishing the song, swiveled back towards his computer and hit the stop button and hit the play button again, and then he swiveled back to his keyboard to play again with the music.

Chapter 20: I like that you were consistent with the mood/tone. It's melancholic. Even her thinking what to eat had a wistful note to it. I actually liked that part between them the most.

Just a few things to re-consider. The first line is a set of phrases and it didn't go well with the rest of the sentences. Perhaps you can do without that line and keep us guessing what's going on than dropping the bomb of leaving the military from the beginning. Try reading it without it and the flow is much better plus his thoughts alone give us a hint on what is going on. Why wouldn't a South Korean male artist not be able to stage right? I am not comfortable writing in present tense, although I have fics using this tense but I can say it worked here. You forgot "full" next to "chock". Chock alone gives a different meaning. And "long blink" was repeated more than twice within a few words in between but I have no synonyms for it.

Keep writing :D

Thank you, for the comment.
I've been thinking about it, and don't know how I'd approach it.
So, I will have to leave it as is for the meantime.
