"Oh, Danny, I don't know what to say!" 

Despite being so ing exhausted, Hye Sun's acting was pretty decent. She tried to put all of her remaining energy into their last performance. Besides, she 'stole' the role of her best friend -who was doing amazing os the role of Rizzo- she should at least do well as a form of compensation. 

Ever since she had gotten the role of Sandy, she found it harder to sleep at night, the stress of learning her lines and trying not to disappoint people with her acting would always be weighing down on her mind. She was a newcomer who had landed the lead role; she had something to prove.

If only she had that presence, the presence that would always make her feels more energetic and happier, the person who would make everything ok. But he was not with her. 

Baekhyun was amazing. The beautiful, angelic sound that could come out his -relatively- small body puzzled everyone. Hye Sun enjoyed just sitting there and listening to his voice during the rehearsals. He was the class clown, he could make people laugh, he could act, sing, dance, put so much emotion into a moving song as well as make people want to dance; he was perfect. He was what Hye Sun wanted to be. Though many have been skeptical of her when she'd gotten the lead role, Baekhyun welcomed her as his 'partner'. 

“There must be a reason that you'd gotten the part, so don't be insecure. You deserve this part, if you didn't you would've never gotten it.”

He became somewhat like a substitute to Sehun whenever Luhan couldn't be there for her. Kind of like an older brother looking after his younger sister. He was like a less influential version of her much needed 'presence'.

Baekhyun could make any song come to life.

“Purely because I've experienced many things,” he'd say. Hye Sun would wonder how he could go through so much, every event moulding him and his personality into this perfect, flawless human being.

But Hye Sun couldn't put emotion into anything to save her life. She'd never had a 'Summer Love' or a prom night where it rained...or a car called Greased Lightning. Had she not been the main role, she would still think that Grease was all about a girl changing herself so she could be with the hottest playboy in school and her best friend who gave up on her dream becauses an imaginary Elvis told her to, with a whole lot of swearing, and rude stuff going on in between. Heck, she only auditioned for Grease because she needed to take up time and make herself otherwise she'd be sitting around, doing nothing and letting her mind wander back to you know who.

At least there was 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'.

'Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry,
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you
I'm Hopelessly Devoted To You'

If anyone had experience for a song like this, it would be Hye Sun.

'But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my love aside 
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly Devoted To You
Hopelessly Devoted To You'

Tears stung her eyes -and most of the people in the audience- when the memories of Sehun came back to her. She was still in love with him. It was just deep underneath all the forced feelings of hate. The feeling was still there, it was only denied. Even 5 months worth of avoiding him -which felt like forever and a day- couldn't change it so quickly.

'I know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you'

Her eyes scanned the audience, many had their handkerchiefs out. A pang of guilt stung her heart, which she otherwise would have disguised as her heart skipping a beat, when her eyes met with a pair of doe orbs. He was looking straight at her from the front row, if she had been close enough she would see herself reflected clearly in his loving eyes.

'But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my heart aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you'

No longer able to deal with the guilt that came from liking Luhan yet loving Sehun, she averted her eyes. Once again she scanned the crowd, thinking herself as shameless and stupid for searching for one particular person.

'My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let him go
Hold on to the end that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you'

Another pang went through her heart, one she could genuinely identify as 'her heart skipping a beat'. As if bringing her back into reality and reminding her of all the pain he'd caused her, a tear rolled down her cheek. The boy who was once returning her gaze looked down, knowing it was all his fault. The audience, however, thought of it as nothing but acting. 

'But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you'

"Yah, you always wear that! Don't you have anything else?" a 14 year old girl exclaimed, tugging at the sleeves of her best friend. 

Though the jumper was about 2 sizes too big -so he "can grow into it!"- the woolen, blue piece of clothing still suited him perfectly. It was getting slightly worn out, dur to the amount of the times he'd washed it. Had he not worn everyday he wouldn't have had to wash it so much which would've resulted in it being in a better condition. It was all very ironic, seeing how he'd only gotten the jumper a few weeks ago. 

"It's my favouite jumper," he informed her, offering a dazzling smile, "because you bought it for me." 

Hye Sun jolted awake, sitting up in the chair that was used for props and stared down at the cool suface of the table she had been lying on. Everyone was backstage after the play, chatting excitedly. As soon as she's gotten off the stage, Hye Sun had knocked out and slept, only to force her eyelids open again. 

This was another reason why her nights were so restless. As soon as her eyelids closed for the night, he would flood into her head. Thoughts of him would seep into her dreams. She tries to stay awake so he wouldn't completely take over her dreaming state, but usually gave up after about 4 hours of trying. She could forbid herself to think of him during the day, but the night times would suffice her unconscious longing to be with him again. 

But pretty soon she could take it no longer. Her eyes were shutting without her knowing -or approval- and it just became like any other night.

Music filled the entire hall, the orchestra made no wrong note. They played the most heart wrenching melody of the most beautiful song. My Heart Will Go On. Hye Sun was obsessed with all things romantic and cute. She couldn't help but sway along to the captivating music, getting fully immersed as she mouth the words she'd learnt off by heart. Though in a different language, she still understood everything due to the emotion emitted through the song -and because of the Korean translations. 

In the corner of her eyes -though she'd thought she'd seen wrong- it seemed as if someone was staring. Hye Sun had felt as if she was being watched ever since the song started. Eventually, she turned her head, saw nothing then turned back...before whipping her head round to the side one more time and meeting a pair of playful eyes. 

Oh Sehun was smiling at her sweetly, and she couldn't help but return the smile. 

He'd been watching her ever since the players picked up their instruments. He knew how much of a hopeless romantic she was and waited to see her reactions to the songs. And he wasn't disappointed. He thought it was the cutest thing on earth, watching her go 'awww' so many times because of a piece of music. If anyone would do something like that in the middle of a concert, it would be Park Hye Sun. 

"Hye Sun! Hye Sun!" For the second time in the past hour, the girl jolted awake again, annoyed at herself for not doing so earlier. Looking around, she noticed the lights had been turned off, everyone else had left and the tables and chairs were stacked neatly in the corner. 

"I've been looking everywhere for you," Luhan said, grabbing her hand and giving it a squeeze. "You were amazing today, let's go." 

With a nod, Hye Sun got up...but froze when she felt a weight around her shoulders. She prayed the piece of clothing draped around her shoulders belonged to Luhan, but the familiar scent told her otherwise. Protecting her previously bare shoulders from the coldness was a worn out, blue, woollen hoodie. 

A/N- OK, Baekhyun's a little irrelevant, but I love him so... ^^ 

I am: unreliable, inconsistent, indecisive and impatient as you will now know because of my updating. i lost all my work the first time I wrote this and wanted to update as soon as possible...so it's not as good as the first version, but I hope it was good enough :)
