Backstage Princess

 

A week after being thrown away by her own sister, Lee JiEun turned back into a devastated lady. But Jiyeon good works was enough to get her back on track. After countless persuasion and convincing, Lee JiEun has been okay. Sometimes, you could found her waiting hopelessly in front of her sister room, but never once she break down. She promised to stay strong for her sister, her source of strength.

Kim Myungsoo too has been living his own life without disturbing Lee JiEun. Things has get a lot more better than expected. Woohyun has been busy with his coming up match and Jiyeon too has been busy with her dancing groups. It left her alone, at the backyard while thinking hard. A guitar was next to her and she was busy scribbling around with a pencil and a piece of paper.

And suddenly, her inspirations stop. She sighed and tossed the paper to her file, dragging the guitar toward her. She tried to strum the guitar string and tried to search for some more inspiration. Until suddenly she sings to all her heart content.

Someday – IU

I hope this tears will stop running someday

Someday after this darkness clear up

I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears

When I feel that I’m getting tired of looking me exhausted,

I want to give all my dreams I’ve kept hard

very time I feel that I’m lacking in many things more than I have

I lost strength in my legs and drop down

I hope this tears will stop running someday

 

Someday after this darkness clear up

I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears

Everyday I hold out comforting myself “it’ll be alright”

But it makes me afraid little by little

I tell myself to believe in myself, but I don’t

Now I don’t know how longer I can hold out

But wait it’ll come

Although the night is long, the sun comes up

 

Someday my painful heart will get well

I hope it helps me now.

I hope the God will help me

I don’t have enough confidence more and more to overcome myself

I hope this tears will stop running someday

 

Someday after this darkness clear up

I hope the warm sunshine dries these tears

But wait it’ll come

Although the night is long, the sun comes up

 

Someday my painful heart will get well

 

Someday…Someday…

 

“Hello,” She said, her phone suddenly rings, ruining her moments.

“Ms. Lee! I have good news!”

“Mrs. Jung!”

“Pil Suk wanted to talk to you! She misses you so much! Come here, okay!”

Jieun couldn’t believe what she hears. She thought they have grown distant, after weeks avoiding each other. She never thought this day would arrived this fast. She feels like crying, she feels like living in fantasy.

“Mrs. Jung, are you sure?”

“Yes, Ms. Lee.”

“I will come there soon.”

Jieun packed her stuff quickly, leaving a simple note on Woohyun and Jiyeon desks. She rushed excitingly to the hospital. She has learn something quite important from Woohyun, how to ran away from the school during lessons. She escapes quickly and rushed again to the hospital. She ran all the way, without being able to stop herself from grinning.

It was one thing that she didn’t know, Myungsoo was watching her. His lip too form a smile, seeing how happy she has become.

“You have done a good work, bro.” Sunggyu complimented.

He put his hand inside his pocket, acting all cool and arrogant. He nodded.


“Unnie!”Pil Suk cries as she hugs Jieun tightly.

Soon, after Jieun arrival, Pil Suk stood up and calls her. She was crying so badly that her eyes turn swollen. She wrapped her arms around Jieun and cried harder. Jieun gently patted her back and caresses her hair, as she too started to cry. It was such a touching side; Mrs. Jung couldn’t help but to wipe away her tears, exiting the room to give the two siblings some private space.

They finally reunite the two siblings. A faint sobbing could be heard outside the room, as the two finally met each other.

“Unnie, I’m so sorry! I’m very sorry!” Pil Suk sobs.

“It’s okay, Pil Suk-ah. I understand.” Jieun replied.

“Unnie!” they cried even harder.

Jieun took a seat beside Pil Suk’s bed, she couldn’t help but smile. Pil Suk too was smiling widely, despite her weak condition. Well, even it’s been a while since she woke up, doesn’t mean she has perfectly recovered. The doctor will let her go in 3 days and she still needs a full week of rest.

Their conversation begins, talking about how life has been, how they are feelings and many other things. Laughter could be heard constantly, from time to time they keep on laughing about things and stuff. Jieun was smiling and has turned back to her original self, being rather calm. Pil Suk too was grinning widely like an idiot, being as cheerful as always.

“Mrs. Jung!” Jieun called as soon as she exits the room.

“Ms. Lee. It’s nice seeing you finally be happy again.” She smiles faintly.

“Mrs. Jung, she is asleep now. Thank you so much for taking a good care of her.”

“It’s my pleasure, Ms.Lee.”

“Mrs. Jung, I was actually surprises. Why is it so sudden?”

“Oh, Ms. Lee. You should be very grateful to your friend. The seven boys come this morning, those handsome flower boys. They brought her many things and stuff, her favorites. They talks for hours. They asked me to give them some time, so I went outside. And suddenly Pil Suk asks me to call you.”

“Do you mean Hoya-ssi friends?”

“Oh, yes. I see you and him has been in good terms.”

Kim Myungsoo.

“Thank you, Mrs. Jung. I need to go back home now.”

“Take care of yourself, Ms. Lee!”


“Jieun!Jieun! Lee JiEun!” The little dino seems to be excited.

“Calm down, Jiyeon. Your voice is very loud, calm down a bit.” Jieun said calmly.

“I heard the news! Have you two talked for real?”

“I have told you last night, Jiyeon.”

“Oh, really? Tell me more!” Jiyeon said while clapping her hand.

Jieun was very excited when she went home. She couldn’t help but keeps on smiling and sometimes giggling. She called Jiyeon late at night, telling her everything to its details. Tone of excitement fills her voice as she keeps on talking about Pil Suk. But never once did she mention the name of the boy, Kim Myungsoo.

Today, she too has reverted back to her original self. The lady graceful attitude is back. She managed to gather herself all together and get herself back on track. She has turned to a calm and full of manner type of lady today. It’s nice to see her being happy. Smile never stops radiating and her presence was warmth and comfortable one.

 “Do you know where Woohyun is?” Jieun suddenly asked. Her eyes wander around only to spot the empty desk behind her.

“You could find him in the backyard.” Jiyeon said.

“Well, if you could excuse me, I want to talk to him.”

Jieun rushed outside the classroom. She has question in mind and only Nam Woohyun could answer those questions. It would be too complicated to ask Jiyeon, she would nags at her. Nam Woohyun could give her a clearer answer and it would put her mind at peace.

“Woohyun-ah.”Jieun found him sleeping at the backyard.

“Oh, Jieun. I heard about the news. You are very happy, aren’t you?”

“You never know how happy I am.”

Jieun walked toward Woohyun, taking a seat right beside him. She leans forward, resting her head on his broad shoulder. Jieun snuggles closer as she inhales deeply. She could feel the breezes, gently caressing her face and touching her hair. She exhales, letting all her burden go. It was comfortable and nice, it gives her a very nice calm feeling. She shut her eyes closed.

“Nam Woohyun, are you skipping class again?” She asked, being strict and timid.

“Jieun-ah, give me a break.” Woohyun frowns.

“No, Woohyun. Never skips class.”

“Okay then. We have 15 more minutes, just let me rest for the next 15 minutes.”

Jieun was actually Nam Woohyun savior. She was the one who changes him. Nam Woohyun used to be a brat and a bad student. Peoples know that, but Lee JiEun could change him. She forces Woohyun to attend classes. In return, she promises to tutor him. Ever since that time, Woohyun has created a new image.

Jieun blinks a few times, after feeling something heavy was placed on top of her head. It was Woohyun’s head. Seems like he too need some rest.Jieun smiled and rest some more again, shutting her eyes closed.

“You have questions, don’t you?”

“You are a great man, Woohyun. You always know what I am thinking.”

“It’s him, isn’t it?”

“I thought you would know, Woohyun.”

“This time, he is honest Jieun. What happens to your sister wasn’t his fault.”

“Why would you defend him, Woohyun? You and him are enemies. I never thought you would say it.”

“He deserves what he deserves, Jieun. Give it to him.”

“Are you sure, Woohyun?”

“Believe in him this once. I’m not going to blame him because of something he didn’t do.”

Jieun didn’t answer; she gives him a smile and fall to a deep slumber. Woohyun wrapped his arm around her, and get her closer to him. Jieun shrugs him off, although it wasn’t a real problem to her. She and him are just friends, that is what she thought. Or more likely used to think.

“Jieun, aren’t you going back?”

“Let me have some rest, Woohyun.”

“Are you skipping class again?”

“I can’t believe you’re the one to say that.”

Jiyeon shook her head, as she realizes her two friends haven’t come back yet. She giggled a bit, before finally grinning like an idiot. That two people, how could she explain them? Almost lover.

Kim Myungsoo was watching from a far, how Lee JiEun and Nam Woohyun interacts with each other. One of his hands was placed on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. He squeezes it hard and started to wonder. Why would this part of him ache so much? He feels like dying.


 

Jieun wakes up earlier than usual today. She cooked and packs her own lunch after a long time. It’s been a while since she prepares her own breakfast and cooked her own lunch. When Pil Suk is around, she would do it every day. But because lately she has been feeling down, she chooses to buy them from the store below her apartment.

Kim Myungsoo was dazing off today. He keeps on sighing and sometimes yawning. He often frowns and buried his face under his arm on the desk. He is feeling down. He is bored; he needs to think of something. Although his mind were filled with many things.

Lee JiEun and Kim Myungsoo haven’t seen each other quite a while. It’s been two weeks since the last time they met. It’s a relief that those people didn’t doubt them, they think the two are really dating. Although they never appear together, since Lee JiEun was quite shy, well that is what they think. In real life, it’s a whole different situation.

Three knocks and Myungsoo was still dozing off.

“Myungsoo, you really have done a good job.” Sunggyu complimented.

“See, who is coming!” Hoya exclaimed.

Myungsoo didn’t care and choose to ignore them, until suddenly he could feel her presence, standing right in front of him. A box, nicely wrapped was placed on his desk.

“Jieun?” He can’t even believe what he was seeing.

“This is for you, lunch.”

“Is this that kimbab again?” He frowns, taking the box. “You do know that I hate Kimbab, yes? Especially the one you bought for me.”

“Be a little more thankful, Myungsoo. I cooked it myself this time.”

“Okay then, I will try to enjoy it.” Myungsoo tried to keep it cool, although he was grinning like an idiot inside.

Jieun rushed out as soon as she finished handing Myungsoo his favorite or actually most hated food. She took her step slowly in a quick pace; she seems to be in a good mood. She stops before disappearing completely from Myungsoo sight.

“Myungsoo, thank you.” She turns her head, facing him.

“You are welcome, Jieun.” He mumbled.

Before reading, I want to know if Myungsoo and Pilsuk are siblings..? I would've thought that Jieun and Pilsuk are sisters since it fits the description. But they have different surnames.
