Chapter 60

Youngest of Pieces: [WHO- I AM] (8)

 

The flight back to Tokyo in the morning goes fast, making Hannah barely getting any sleep at all. Around two in the morning she had left Kyung Ho with his parents after talking out for two hours. After three hours of sleep she went to the airport with her manager, and after a two hour flight and a long car-ride, Hannah arrives at the set for today’s filming, which today is also at the school. When the car pulls up at the parking next to the school building, Maria is walking up to Hannah with outstretched arms, and Hannah lets the leader embrace her in a hug the moment she has gotten out of the car.

“You are a great sister,” Maria tells her proudly, and Hannah laughs when trying to not cry. “You have done just great.”

She is so tired that she doesn’t know if she should laugh or cry over her night experience. Meeting Kyung Ho’s parents was never imagined like this for her. Maybe she feels a little bad for not meeting them earlier, but it is still a relief in her body that Kyung Ho has talked to his parents and that they have listened to him. They know what he wants to do, maybe they don’t understand it, but they know about it and they won’t try to talk him out of it. There won’t be any more lies for him to tell his family. She is happy for that.

“And you look dreadful,” stylist Yong Hyun sighs when he comes up to them, joining the hug without letting Maria step away first. He looks over at Manager Lee coming out the car over Hannah’s head. “You could have treated this beauty much better, you know.”

Manager Lee is tired too, and he doesn’t have the energy to talk to the diva stylist.

“We should go work our magic on you, honey,” Yong Hyun says to Hannah when she has gotten out of their hugging. He puts his fingers by her cheek and nods for himself. “Still, you are pretty.”

Hannah closes her eyes and puts her arms around Maria to walk next to each other. Yong Hyun puts his arm around their shoulders, walking with them. She is happy they meet up with her like this, happy to have them with her.

Yesterday when Kyung Ho said Hannah did the same thing when she ran away from home, she keeps thinking about it. The very first time Hannah said against her mother, the first time she ever stepped her foot on an airport and the first time she came to Korea – five years ago. She had told her mother about this audition she and her friends had entered online, and that they had moved on to the next audition, which meant they had to go to Korea. Her mother told her ‘no’, telling her she can’t go. But 5 Pieces had to go; this was their only chance. It’s now or never, they told each other. So Hannah went anyway. She had taken her luggage to Emelia some day before, and then pretended to go to school in the morning to not be suspicious; instead she went to the airport with the ladies. Hannah ran away from home. Not until they landed in Korea (18 hours later) she called her mother to say she has left.

Fifteen years old at that time, Hannah knew she would do anything with her friends. Nothing can ever beat the five of them going to Korea like that, all because of an audition for SM Entertainment. Twenty years old now, Hannah knows she will do anything with her friends. She knows they have lived a dream beyond dreaming, and she would never trade it for anything.

Mi Young is talking to her when fixing her make-up for today’s shooting. She talks about how the puppy Ryo has missed her, how he has kept looking at the door before she came. When Hannah’s make-up is done she sits down on the floor to take a picture of the white puppy who sits in front of her when she sits down. He looks so happy, his tongue hanging out and black eyes looking up at her.

“You always get so great on picture,” Hannah smiles and pats him, then laughs when Julia hurries to lie down sideway behind the puppy that is fast to get on his feet to jump on her. Julia laughs and makes the puppy sit down nicely again before she puts her head as close as him as she can to pose for Hannah’s cell phone. Hannah keeps giggling when taking the picture of them, then a picture of Julia trying to kiss the puppy by holding on to him, but Ryo tries to get out of her grip, and they laugh even more at it before Julia and Ryo starts playing around. Hannah uploads the first picture of Julia and Ryo on twitter, smiling unstoppable now.

{Twitter, 5P_HANNAH: You make me smile~ (picture)}

“My teaser is coming out soon,” Julia smiles brightly when sitting up, checking her cell phone for the time, “In … 28 minutes.”

Hannah laughs at the precise time.

“You have to change clothes now,” Yong Hyun comments, interrupting their time on the floor and he grimaces at Hannah when she gets up on her feet with a pout. “That is a bad habit of yours,” he tells her.

Hannah smiles at him. “I would be boring without that.”

“And you get cocky when you are tired,” he laughs at her response, putting his hand on her back to guide her to change clothes.

 

5 Pieces are filming when the music video teaser for Julia’s solo debut is released, but the moment they can they gather around the tablet to not just look at the sweet teaser of the song [I’m Sleepy] but also to read the two articles about it and read the hundreds of comments. Julia can’t be still when they are reading. She is jumping and laughing, and the ladies laugh at how excited she is for this.

“The comments are freaking amazing!” Maria shouts, cheering happily. All of them are happy over the response over the teaser, and over the announcement.

SM Entertainment have announced along to the music video teaser that Julia will be the next member of 5 Pieces to make a solo debut; and that it will be with a single being released next week. The comments surely are amazing. Fans are looking forward to Julia’s debut; they are writing ‘it’s about time! Sweet girl, sweet time~’, ‘5 Pieces solo songs are always the best, the individual power of Pieces’ and ‘U Go Julia!’ The ladies are looking forward to it too.

The ladies then rush back on set to continue filming, continuing to speak in Japanese and have fun with the staff and Carolina keeps having fun by singing Julia’s solo song, which makes Julia even more happy. Hannah is just tired in the beginning of their schedule, and then she gets just as giggling and crazy as her members. Their characters are silly and crazy too, so while acting they have a lot of fun. And the day passes by them quickly.

After dinner, Hannah walks out with Maria and Mi Young for a walk with the puppies. Hannah holds the leash for them both, and they keep talking. Four bodyguards are actually walking with them, keeping a distance most of the time because this is Tokyo, a city where 5 Pieces is kind of getting a big name in. At least they are working for it.

‘5 Pieces – Stories from Japan’ Disc 5 films for the drama-making today. The camera is by the school building but zooms in to film them come walking with the puppies from hundred meters distance, over where the school ground begins on the left side. Maria in her long legs walks on the side from the others, kicking some gravel playfully while Hannah is nicely holding both puppies’ leashes in each hand. When spotting the camera from afar, Hannah asks the puppies if they want to race – obviously they don’t understand – but Maria starts to run and the puppies and Hannah is quickly after her. They race up like crazy up to the camera and while Maria makes a stop there, the puppies’ keeps running excitedly so Hannah just runs by with a laugh, making Maria laugh behind them too.

“You are running away!” Maria laughs, squatting down over how hilarious she finds the sight of Hannah and the puppies continuing to run. Hannah whistles and starts to run out on the ground, hearing screams from a distance from fans but she continues to run around with the puppies playfully.

The camera films Hannah running further away when suddenly a person runs by next to the camera, out after Hannah and the puppies. More shouts are heard from the fans over by the front of the schoolyard when Julia runs over to the puppies, calling their names to join in the fun. Hannah actually lets go of the leashes, and the puppies keeps jumping and running around like crazy dogs. If they run too far, Hannah or Julia calls for them and they turn around to run to whoever called them.

Some of the staff is around there too, even bringing out a basketball which brings Carolina outside too. Because of her injury, she doesn’t jump, but she can walk and her aim in basketball is still good.

After twenty minutes, Hannah is sitting in the shadow from the sun with the puppies, patting them while watching Julia and Carolina playing some random strange basketball with staff and actors playing students in their drama. Takaki Yuya is among them, laughing and playing and calling out for Maria and Emelia to join them too. Emelia shakes her hand for answer, saying that her stomach is still digesting dinner – she does say it in other words, as she doesn’t know ‘digesting’ in Japanese. Fans were screaming when he came out to play with them and managers and stylists are on the side reminding people to not get sweaty.

Of course Carolina is sweaty once they stop playing…

The next day is also spent filming and having fun, though Maria leaves after half the day to go film We Got Married in Korea. In the evening, Julia is the one filming some solo scenes and Hannah first goes to visit to see how it goes before she sits down in the van to wait for what will happen next. While sitting in the van she is going online on her cell phone, first checking twitter before she checks the new BTS clip from the magazine Maria and Hannah did a few days ago. Posing as twins with long blonde hair was fun. She watches the clip on YouTube, on the magazine’s own page there before she goes in on another video because of the requests on the side.

The first one is called 5 Pieces – We are the funniest which begins with pictures of the ladies having funny face-expressions – all from captions of a show to the ladies actually making the funny faces – before clips of different shows with the ladies either doing something funny or says something shows. One that makes Hannah smile is from some interview NG take where 5 Pieces are standing next to each other, one of them says something which is a mistake and the others bursts out laughing and pushes that person away (that person is Carolina…) and then it is another clip of the same interview where Julia makes a mistake and the girls are just smiling, saying professionally they will do it again. At some radio show, the camera filmed Carolina, Hannah and Emelia sitting next to each other and singing along to some song when Carolina overdoes some cuteness, Hannah follows and turns to Emelia to have her do it too but Emelia just stops moving and glares at them so Hannah bows in an apology to the camera while Carolina on her own fools around. And clips of them just laughing and random clips, including one of them on stage when confetti suddenly pops out and Hannah is seen jumping in surprise, and Maria laughs with wide open next to her. The ending of the video is of pictures of 5 Pieces looking funny, with small captions that are supposed to be funny.

On the side she looks through the names of the requested videos to see if there is something else to see. One video catches her eye and without even re-thinking she starts to play it. JjongHan Couple – 1 Month Before Announcement is what the name of the video is, and the first thing that pops up in the video is text, in English, saying ‘April 20, 2013, idol friends SHINee Jonghyun & 5 Pieces Hannah admitted they are a couple. A month earlier, on March 13, the two of them went on Kiss The Radio to talk about their collaboration song for SHINee’s album, a ballad named [It’s OK]. This is just a month before the rumours broke out wildly, but anyone watching this clip must see that they are cuter than cutest with each other, right? Take a look

Hannah has seen the clips from that radio program before, as every fan seem to bring it up when talking about Hannah and Jonghyun. She thought she did great that day, for being the first time on a schedule with Jonghyun (and she didn’t have her members around to help her out) and Super Junior’s Ryeowook was more than happy to joke around a little with them as he knew the truth. Hannah goes through the video, agreeing that she glances maybe a little too much at Jonghyun and when she was talking on the radio, Jonghyun wouldn’t look away from her. Okay, maybe they weren’t that great in the end…

At the end of the video is says ‘Bonus’ and a clip of SHINee during [Dream Girl] promotion comes up and the text starts to describe what it is while the video is soundlessly playing in the background; ‘SHINee was asked to draw their Dream Girl for a show, and Jonghyun drew a girl who very much looks like a mix of European and anime, but when he talks… doesn’t his Dream Girl remind you all of Hannah?

Rosy cheeks, small cherry lips and ddeokbokki-like nose’ is what Jonghyun describes her as in the video, and Hannah just spaces out. What is a ddeokbokki-like nose?

She goes down to watch the comments, and she nods in agreement when a few others have the exact same question as she has. But Jonghyun really said that? She smiles by the thought of Jonghyun’s bad drawing. Does Hannah have small cherry lips? She knows she has small lips, but cherry? Without knowing it she looks up on Google for ‘cherry lips’. That is not Hannah’s lips; she thinks and adds up her own name along it. It is just random pictures of her, not connected to ‘cherry lips’ at all.

What is she doing?

Hannah laughs at herself. Is she trying to see if her boyfriend describes her as his dream girl? It’s silly. She shouldn’t look these things up, and thinking she is stupid for doing it she removes the page to look at her most recent text message from Kyung Ho. He called her before to talk about this woman wanting him to sign a contract. The most shocking thing about his woman is that she is from SM Entertainment; she wants Kyung Ho to come meet some people there and possible sign a contract. That woman has no idea of that Hannah knows this boy – she is new.

Manager Lee laughed so loudly when he heard about it and he then called Manager Lim in Korea, who contacted the company to hear what SM Entertainment is planning with this rookie actor of just age nine. At first he wanted the usual profile-scan and hears what the company has to say before he revealed why he actually was calling. Hannah smiles by the memory.

“They talked about how Kyung Ho had a natural acting in the drama he is in now; he has a character that barely appears much but whenever he appears, all eyes are on him,” Manager Lim was telling her over the phone, “SM thinks he has a bright future; he is extremely young, but he is cute and charming. When I told them that he is your little brother, their attitude changed; he is a goldmine, Hannah. SM knows that more companies want to scout him, but because he knows you, they think you can bring him in.”

Hannah first thought that everything is about money, like it always seems to be, but SM doesn’t only think of money – they think of connections too. She admits it would be fun if Kyung Ho was in SM Entertainment, though he would be there as an actor, she could still make sure he has it alright. Manager Lim said the contract SM wants Kyung Ho to sign is changed because of Hannah too; to the better for him. But she doesn’t want to tell him what to do. So Hannah told Kyung Ho what is going on, and he actually said that two more companies have contacted his teacher. The moment it came out on the market that one company has contacted him, others are in a hurry to do it too. The only thing Hannah actually cares about is that Kyung Ho loves it. He is extremely excited about having people notice him for his acting, and he even asks Hannah to help him with the companies – which ones are good, which ones should he avoid…

He is lucky though. A lot of celebrities have been framed and tricked by fake companies, but all because SM Entertainment is the first one to call him, only the best ones have contacted him. It must mean something, Hannah brightly thinks. He is talented, her brother, and though he is lucky he has worked really hard with all these auditions he has gone to without getting any result. She nods at herself when thinking he is doing so well, and she is interrupted by a knock on the window, her manager waving for her to come out.

It is her turn to film.

{Twitter, 5P_HANNAH: After 8hours of filming indoors, this is how we end up looking when noticing we are going to spend the next hours filming in the rain xD (picture)}

It has been raining the whole day in Tokyo, and when 5 Pieces were going out to film a few scenes in the rain, they took the picture for fun to show their reactions. The ladies are standing next to each other in the picture that has been taken from the side, in front of them is the window with the rain, showing the ladies giving the different reactions that say they are either looking forward to go out in the rain or they look like they will start to cry or scream as they don’t want to go out. It is a funny picture.

Through the whole day they film for the drama, but in the evening the ladies get on the plane to go back to Seoul over the weekend.

The first thing they do is to go to SM Entertainment for a meeting about their up-coming concert. Today is D-50 until the first concert will be here in Seoul, and the ladies are smiling when they see posters for the concert already put up outside. The company has put it on their homepage and on Facebook too, revealing the first four locations for 5 Pieces’ second tour BLACK & WHITE for 2013. Hannah sees that their second concert in Shanghai will be on her birthday – July 28. But it is a two-day concert, so 27-28th will be for the concert. Her first thought is that she hopes there won’t be some birthday celebration for her then; if they are too busy they might forget. And her second thought is rather more an idea, where she decides she will make sure everyone have too much on their mind. But what the meeting is about is the goods for the concert. The logo for the concert has been decided, but what kind of things to be used for it haven’t been completely decided. Stylist Yong Hyun is there too, as it will be clothes on the list.

5 Pieces will be fighters for this concert. They will even make a music video for [WHO- I AM], which will have a main concert along with [Black & White]. Female fighters; tough, confident and y girls who you do not want to fool around with. To make the world become one, we are ... [Black & White] – that is this concert’s slogan. It is a good theme because that is 5 Pieces’ image, and they will keep standing for that.

When the meeting ends the ladies are asked to stay behind a little. Their managers and stylists are there, and Manager Lim takes a seat with some papers, being the one who wants to talk to them.

“I should take the first thing first,” Manager Lim says after clearing his throat loudly, not looking up from his papers.

Manager Song gives Julia and Emelia glare when they are whispering to each other, talking about something completely different when they should listen. Carolina is drawing something on a piece of paper she had asked to get earlier, and if you look closely you can see she is sketching some logo-types – for what, Hannah doesn’t know because that has already been printed and showed. Hannah bites her lip in bad habit, checking her cell phone for the twenty-fourth time this past half hour. She is going to the gym after this, and she doesn’t want her trainer to wait too long. She always looks forward to go to the gym.

“Lee Sooman has sent me a mail, praising 5 Pieces for … a lot of things. You are top selling in Japan, with all your singles and the album you have released; your international singles have been selling wildly since your Eurovision appearance, both in stores and online… And Hannah’s book is close to breaking a record in pre-ordering for any Korean book – or Asian. And now I have just come from talking to him, and since it came out today about your second tour locations, thousand of requests have entered within hours – fans all around the world want you to come to their country and city. It’s big, ladies,” manager Lim says and glances up at them, “Really big.” He looks down at his papers again. “Julia’s solo is getting a lot of attention too, though it hasn’t happened yet. And the magazine Maria and Hannah did the other day has been sold out…”

“Sold out?” Maria laughs happily at the very last comment. “That’s funny.”

Hannah looks at her with a smile. It is funny how Maria comments; she sounds like she is sleeping, and as if Maria read her mind the leader waves her hand and tells their manager to say something useful. The magazine could be sold out for other reasons than that Hannah and Maria were in it.

“The company; Lee Sooman and everyone there at the top, think that you – 5 Pieces – are doing a great job, not just bringing in money but to put your name and k-pop out in the world. You are hard working and you don’t complain-”

“We complain,” Emelia is fast to in.

“Not that horrible,” Manager Lim calmly answers. He seems tired too. “And as a reward for all this hard work and endless schedule-”

“We are giving another vacation?” Carolina shines up though she interrupts him.

He sighs. “No. Not another vacation. Why, do you want one?”

Carolina looks guilty over his reaction and she shakes her head quietly.

“In a few weeks – I am not sure of when, they didn’t tell – you will be given a better apartment here in Seoul. As a reward for being 5 Pieces, the new apartment will have even better security, the location will be better-” Manager Lim stops reading and looks up at the ladies. A part of him had expected to hear shouts of excitement, and all of him had expected them to cut him off somehow. But the silence that occurred… he wasn’t expecting. When looking up he sees all five ladies just sitting there and looking at him. “You can’t believe it?”

“Why are we moving?” Maria asks.

“Yeah, what’s wrong with the place we have now?” Carolina pouts. “I like the one we have now…”

Manager Lim looks shocked. “You don’t want to move to a better place?”

“We have lived there for a year, Appa, and half that time we haven’t even been there,” Maria answers with a light voice, shrugging her shoulders.

“Yes, but this place will be bigger-”

“The place we have now is big,” Hannah comments. “We even have our own room.”

Julia nods next to her and Emelia asks something the same time their manager says the new place isn’t as high as on the seventh floor. Emelia asks what’s wrong with the security they have now, and that makes the other ladies open their mouths too, asking if it has something to do with the bodyguards and such.

“Ladies, ladies,” Manager Lim tries to make them get quiet, and he raises his hand to let them close their mouths. “This isn’t a question. You are moving.”

“Well, I’m not moving,” Maria raises her hands, shaking her head to the side. “I just lined up my shoes perfectly in my room.”

“In the new apartment, you can have your own walk-in-closet filled with shoes,” Manager Lim tells her and Maria’s jaw drops with her hands still in the air. Their stylists drop their jaws too.

“Can we move in there too?” they ask as a joke, but get quiet when seeing the manager’s stare.

“Listen to me, ladies; this is a great apartment. Don’t judge it until you have seen it; and when you have seen it, give it some time if you don’t feel it. I’m sure you will like it,” he tells them.

Hannah pouts. Why do they keep moving around? It feels like they move a lot just because they have gotten an apartment in Japan and whenever they go abroad it is at hotels. Their manager reminds them that it is in a few weeks, so there is no hurry to pack just yet but they should still start to plan at least because 5 Pieces will spend these weeks in Japan.

“And you,” he turns his attention to the stylists, “you will help the ladies to sort out their clothes. Old things must go.”

“What?”

“Why?”

The ladies don’t seem to like the thought. Hannah thinks of all the clothes she wore when she was a big-size, all those baggy clothes that she no longer can wear but some clothes are still really cosy to wear.

“Clothes, shoes, accessories – everything must be sorted out. The things you won’t keep will be given to charity and those who need it,” Manager Lim explains. “5 Pieces need to watch out what you wear; everything is fashion and style today.”

Maria suddenly hits Carolina on the arm. “It’s your entire fault for that.”

“What for?!”

“Those dreadful purple pants you wore, of course.”

Hannah sees their stylist giving a disliking too by the memory of Carolina’s pants, but Carolina looks surprised and says Emelia liked them.

“Emelia wear white leggings to a military shorts and jacket – don’t trust her fashion,” Maria comments.

 

It is late when Hannah is at the gym with Park Hyun. For her to stop loosing weight they have scheduled her to go to the gym two times a week if she sticks to the food-schedule she has been given. Of course she is bad to stick to the food-schedule; in Japan she has found reasons to skip a meal or eat less due to the drama-filming, making the managers as well as her members angry when they finds out, and she tells Park Hyun that the schedule is the reason for it when he asks. He laughs at her in a mocking tone, knowing she could complete the food-schedule if she wanted to. But honestly, the food-schedule is horrible for Hannah. It is five or six meals a day, and it is a special amount she has to eat too, and usually she is still full from the previous meal when the other one comes. It is difficult, but she did promise her fans to not loose more. And she hasn’t! She for once actually doesn’t gain the weight.

Hannah’s body is a big issue for her. If she wants to loose weight, her body doesn’t follow – but if she wants to gain weight, it looses. Why is her body the opposite of her mind?

But Park Hyun helps her to focus on the training rather than the food. Training is always fun. Park Hyun’s speciality is to mix up a mix of different exercises at one visit, to let the body get a variation of movements but it is still intensity from beginning to end. Hannah loves it. But they don’t do it 100% hard today as they have a time at the gym together tomorrow too, where Park Hyun tells Hannah to be prepared to work her off. She looks forward to it.

On the way to the apartment she thinks of the meeting earlier. They are moving again. And they will sort out their clothes. Hannah fears for that. Yong Hyun will throw almost all things she has if he gets the chance; she remembers when he looked through her wardrobe for the London trip. He thinks she is hopeless while Hannah thinks he is hopeless. Not EVERYTHING must be top fashion, especially not the way people dress today, is Hannah’s opinion. She wants to wear black clothes, not always having to wear scary patterns or curse words that others like to wear. Or dress pants with a high waist to a bra-looking top. Hannah seriously does not understand fashion. She must try to hide some of her favourite clothes; pack some boxes, mixing books with clothes would be good.

Manager Lee who is sending her home interrupts her deep thoughts when showing her an article that came out today. Hannah looks confused at first, then looks up at her manager, even more confused for him to show this to her.

“I saw it earlier today, but I forgot to show it,” he tells her with a nod at the article, “You should read the comments.”

The article he has showed her says that solo singer Brian Joo (former Fly to the Sky member) praises Hannah for the song [I CRY]. She scans through the article briefly, reading that Brian shocked fans all around the world when confessing that he once thought of committing suicide. He also talked about that he started to cry when he last year heard 5 Pieces Hannah’s self-written solo song [I CRY] and revealed he understood the song completely and even texted Hannah to praise her about the song.

She remembers that actually. He had texted her the same day the song came out to tell her it is a great song and that it moved him to tears; Hannah had been all shaky when responding that she is touched by his text and she thanked him. He even re-tweeted the song on twitter when the music video came out. She was too shy to comment on that – to thank him again – but liked his tweet for everyone to see.

- “Hannah’s song has touched a lot of people of all ages, gender, nationality and background, it makes me smile to know she has a senior like Brian. But it hurts to know he had those thoughts… It’s too common in Korea.”

- “I’m really thankful that Brian didn’t commit suicide. And I’m thankful that Hannah came out with [I CRY]. I always listen to it when I’m feeling down =(”

- “Brian must be a great senior. He supported her solo song, she went to his musical not long ago and they have both had the thoughts of suicide. Am I the only one thinking they have had deep talks sometime…? They are two talented people, hope they won’t think like that ever again! They are too precious for us fans ^^,”

- “This article makes me cry. I’m happy they both have their members to help them out though.”

- “[I CRY] has been nominated as the most life-changing song! Go vote for Hannah and [I CRY]! This song has not just changed a lot of lives, it has saved lives too!! For all of us who have been brought to tears by the song one way or another, we must unite to show Hannah how much this song means to us, so go vote now! Are you unsure? Go watch this video; (link)”

Hannah wants to both laugh and cry over the comments she reads before she presses the YouTube link in the last comment she read. She doesn’t care her manager is there when the video starts to play, and he smiles because he has already seen it.

The moment the video starts, she knows what it is without even seeing what the name is. It is her performance of [I CRY] from last year’s Asian Music Awards, and she smiles after the beginning when remembering that it was at this performance the audience sang along beautifully with her. She watches the video, seeing herself stand there dressed in white. It looks beautiful actually, and the audience is enormous. When the audience is singing along, the cameras take a shot of the artists sitting there. Maria is teary – Hannah has seen that part so many times because fans keep showing it on tumblr and everywhere – and even G-Dragon is seen focusing on the performance too.

Hannah laughs when the video doesn’t end with the performance’s end. Instead if shows the clip of Hannah at that award show when she before performing this song had won Best Vocal Performance Solo. She remembers so clearly how she was shocked, not even knowing she was nominated for such an award. It was too much. Her reaction was hilarious now when she sees it; everyone around here looked to be expecting it, and started to cheer while Hannah looks like she was going to just drop her jaw and space out. Her members, f(x) and Super Junior congratulated her, and now she sees that Taemin and Jonghyun gave her a hug too. You can actually see her hands shaking when accepting the award – so awkward! – and when she has accepted the award and is going to thank some people the camera films the artists on the side, revealing the whole SM Town family standing up and loudly cheering. Hannah smiles when seeing it now. They all look so silly while she was there on the stage, trying to grasp the situation.

- “That is what I do – I cry for Hannah, and Hannah only. Stay strong and keep being the goddess with your beautiful flaws and perfection that no one else can have. You are beautiful and your smile can turn any storm to the sun. We love you, Hannah!”

- “[I CRY] changed my life completely. I realised that if someone like Hannah could write a song that reflects my heart and perform it like this, I am not alone out there. She is a fighter and I am one too, even after my older brother committed suicide and I have wanted to do it too; life is just too difficult without him. I don’t have to smile every day, but I am trying to be happy because of this song and this wonderful girl. I haven’t gotten the luck to actually see Hannah perform live, but if 5 Pieces come to Norway or nearby Sweden for their concert, I must make sure to get money for that! That is my dream. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

- “Number 1 hit on music programs, 15 times; 3 times Song of the Month + MV of the Month, Mnet 20’s Choice for Online Music, Best Vocal Performance Solo, Outstanding Artist Award, Digital Bonsang, Digital Record of the Year, Best Lyrics – that is [I CRY] on the list.”

- “Unbelievable how great she is, totally stunning from top to toe and that voice can deliver lyrics so great. Perfect!”

- “Every Puzzle out there knows how nervous Hannah was to perform [I CRY], no matter what stage it was. Maria looks so proud over here. We know why, right? This is a beautiful performance, and not just because Hannah is absolutely beautiful on that stage but because we can actually see how her song and performance moves even her members. 5 Pieces is always the best as five, but damn, this girl surely can move the whole world.”

- “I love the way Hannah performs this song. She always is so close to crying but her voice is flawless. <3”

- “Hannah receiving the award must be the absolutely best reaction anyone on earth will ever give! xD The way she is just freaking out on the inside while SM Town is screaming their lungs out like big fan-girls on the side is hilarious. They are such a warm family! And if you watch the full show you see that she receives the award before the performance, so it is understandable to her looking so greatly thankful and teary for the performance. But no matter what is said, Hannah is a goddess and everyone else knows it. That Hannah doesn’t know it unless she is performing with 5 Pieces is just part of her charm ;)”

- “JjongHan moment even here, he looks so happy when she wins O_O He is also Puzzle; it is just beautiful to hear her voice~

“It’s good, right?”

Hannah looks up at her manager with small eyes. “Why are you showing me this?” she asks and he just smiles.

“I showed you an article. You looked up the video on your own,” he tells her, though they both know his intentions were for her to see the video. She doesn’t get it, and since she doesn’t ask him more he can’t keep his mouth shut. “Your song changes lives. They want you to perform it at an event next week.”

Her jaw drops this time. “What?! My promotions for [I CRY] are over! I am NOT doing it. No way. No way at all I’m doing it,” Hannah is fast to answer but then she asks a little quieter; “What about Pieces? Are we all performing?”

“Only you”

“Then I’m not doing it.”

He raises an eyebrow at her but Hannah shakes her head. “It is a big event, and 98% of the students want you there.”

Hannah keeps shaking her head, pouting like a child with her arms crossed over her chest. Manager Lee smiles and parks the car. He knows she will still do it; it is written on her schedule. He just wanted her to know about it.

Upset, she goes inside to go sleep in her bed, pouting the whole time. She thought she only have to perform that song on their concerts now; where she knows the audience is a fan of 5 Pieces because they have paid for it and spends three hours watching. This?

Hannah sighs when lying down. She is too tired to think of it.
