Chapter 79
The OST for the movie was unbelievable awesome! SHINee and Jackie Chan were recording it together and there would be a Korean and a Chinese version. The next day we sat in the studio to record the song. I was really amazed. I never had thought that SHINee's and Jackie's voices would match but they did. First it sounded odd but then I really liked it. They asked me a lot about what I thought about the intonation of the singers and the use of instruments, and my opinion was respected and now and then even used. I couldn't believe that I was working on a song!
The recording lasted the whole day and we were late back in the hotel. Before I went to bed Taemin wanted to know what I had talked about with Jackie yesterday and so I told him. He was quite surprised that he had tried to help me and when I mentioned that they had heard that they were talking about my situation he felt ashamed.
"I'm sorry that we talked about it this public. It'll never happen again", he said totally sorry.
"It's okay", I said ad that was the truth. I would have mind if for example the manager had got to know it –and I feared that he already did- but that Jackie heard it was somehow a good thing. Maybe this had been the reason why we talked to me. I was thankful that he had talked to me.
"Ehm", Taemin stammered. "I think the boys will ask if I know something about the talk you had with Jackie. They were curious and I had to promise them that I would ask you. Can I tell them if they ask again?"
"You promised them to tell so this question to me is irrelevant", I answered.
"No it isn't. I'll break my promise if you don't want the others to know."
"That's sweet, Taemin, but you don't have to. I don't mind that they'll know. I think it'll be good that they know. Maybe they will stop looking at me as if I had a bad illness or something like that." Those words made Taemin laugh.
"I wish you good luck for thinking. And promise me not to think too much. You should prefer to sleep", Taemin said for good night and left me.
In my room in the hotel I took my iPod and lay down on the bed. After some time I changed closed for sleeping and brushed my teeth before I got back to bed. I already had turned off the light but I stood up again to take a sheet of paper. I wanted to collect questions. Those I could complete or erase if I thought they were not good.
There was a long list of questions but more than half of them I out. Some I rewrote but I still noticed that they were not good enough.
Finally I sighed and closed my tired eyes. I put the paper away and turned up the volume of my iPod. Kim Sa Rang let me escape in a dream-world, a wish-world. His music was… special. I let me forget about real life and because of that fact I was thankful for this music.
The last thing before I felt asleep was that I got a text.
It was from Donghae.
But it didn't cause strange feelings and nearly tears.
It caused happiness.
