Promise, Burned, and Cry

Step by Step I'll Stand by You

SungMin

                Wait. Did she just say Sunny is her friend.

                I mean, she was her best friend.

“And not just that. All of us are three, the other are here. Probably in the same room with us, the name is Im Yoona” she added

“I do not get it, so this all day you have been-“

“She pretend not know me. I know that”  I said

“How come that? Why you not tell me sooner?” I almost shout

“I try to” her voice cracked suddenly “I try to Sungmin, but I can not. I can not tell you because all this day we pretend like we do not each others. It hurts me so much, how the people you are closests to be at the sudden become so hostile towards you. What did I do wrong” she cried

                I hold her before someone could see her crying. For the God’s sake it is just to absurd. She does not say anything or struggle to let go of me, just that I escourt her to a park behind the living room. We sit on the bench there.

“Okay, now tell me anything you want to say. For the better Seohyun, stop pretending like you can hold all this problem alone” I said and satisfied when the girl nodded in agreement

“At first we are friends. I bet you are already know the story from Soojung, I do not need to tell you everything, right? Just when we step here, do you remember the boys who have fight in the living room? The one is Kibum, as you remember, and the other is- is someone who I do not know. But the girl behind him is one of my ex-best friend. She is Im Yoona that I am talking about. I am so shock when found the girls are also here, taking the training” she told, almost in whispered

“Alrght then, but why you did not tell me if you are Sunkyu’s friend? I do not get it, why she pretend like does not know you and vice versa?” I said, hardly try not to be push her

“It’s probably because of me. I did not know how to react when she face me, then she pretending as stranger. It is all my fault, because I am coward. I know that!” Seohyun cried again

                I patted her back, hope she will feel better.

“It is okay, everyone can make a wrong step. Just do not pretend like you do not know them again, okay?” I suggested

“O-okay” she said in whispered

                I give my pinky promise just to be hold by hers.

“Promise?” I asked

“Promise” she answered

“Good girl. Now calm down, because no matter what will be happened, I will always by your side” I said with a smile that she replied back

                She is so cute.   

 

KiBum

                She come to my mind again. Why she always inside my mind? Why I alwys think about her?

                The girl is right beside me, but she is not smiling or laughing like the one in my mind. She is kind of pouting, an action that make her more adorable. Damn, I should stop now.

“What? Do not stare at me like that!” she suddenly shouting

                Except her super high voice, I really like if she just close .

                Now I am the one who is pouting, but I do not let her to know that, so I just pretending like drinking my juice with straw.

“I do not stare at you. I look at your ice cream, it looks good” I lie

“Hah, of course it is. It is mine!” she stuck her tounge out

                Her laughing filled my ear. Right? She is so adorable, right?

“Stingy!” I said and now we are, started to make argument again

                My hand try to get the ice cream who she hold with her another hands. Face to face, we really close, but still, I managed to play kid play with her.

“Gotcha!” I said, my hand on her hand, hold the same ice cream

                And , we are really close. I mean, face to face is just fe centimetre. God, she will see my burned face!

“Ouch! I am sorry!”

                We both turned around and look at the new comer. Who is he? Her ruined my precious time with Sunny!!

“No problem, are you okay?” Sunny asked, worried at the sudden fallen boy behind her

“Oh Thanks God! Finally someone speak in english!!” he said happily, nearly jump I think

                I knitted my eyebrows as I remember who is the boy. He is the Korean boy that rarely I see speak. So that is the reason, because he just understand english?

“May I know your name?” he asked, scartch that, he pleaded with his shining eyes

“Me?” Sunny asked confused

“Yes, both of you! Oh please! I do not know anyone here! I think I am most crazy because no one can speak with me. You are like angel for me. At least I need to know you name!” he said, scartch that, he shout his every words

“Alright, but please stop shouting” Sunny mumbled than offered her hand “My name is Sunk-“

                I widen my eyes when realize what the boy is doing. Instead shaking his hand with Sunny, he pulled Sunny into a hug and patted her back. Introducinghimself happily with shouting his every words. I come the middle and pushed them both, ended with bear hugging from him.

                ! This is embarrassing!

“My name is Donghae! Lee Donghae! Please be nice to me, I-“ he introduce himself

“Stop that, you are hurting us!” I said, can not hold the anger when another is laughing hard “Yah! Sunny, who said you can laugh at this time?!” I protested

“Why? You look so funny. What? Are you blushing right now? Because random hot guy just hug you?” she teased me

“Shut up!” I shout

“Yah, pleas speak in english, I do not know what are you talking about” the baby boy pouted his mouth

I crossed my hands when look at Sunny, forced her to talking with the boy “We do not say anything important Donghae-ssi. Do not worry” she said with smile

“Really? I am sorry, I am just too happy to meet you. Do you know I almost kill myself because no one here understand english, beside the cool girl at the corner that shiver my all hair and my room mate. I really-“ he started again but I cut him

“I am sorry, but we have to go” I said

“Go? No? But- Oh- no! Please, do not leave me alone!” he shout again

                I menatally face palmed my self.

“Do not worry, we are going to meet at closing ceremony” Sunny said

“Promise?” he asked

“Promise” Sunny replied

“Okay, have a nice day!” he waving his hand before blinked various time “Oh, right, goodbye hug!” he said and act before I can react

                He wave his hand again when we are leaving him. Sunny still hold my hand, helping me to walk away from this stupid boy.

“God means it, you are really stunned by the boy!” she laughed

“Stop it Sunny, you are angel in his eyes, do not let he see you are laughting at him” I stated

“Laughing at him? Hell no, he is really adorable. I am laughing at you boy, you do not know how clueless you are” she teased me

“Shut the ing up!” I cursed and leave the girl alone

                I feel my face still burned.

                Geez, she does not know how happy I am because the hugging. Not with the hot guy she stated, I want to kick his if I can. I am happy becuse the hug included three of us, means, she hug me.

                You should stop now, Kim Kibum.

                I slap my cheek.

                Damn, it hurts.

               

Yoona

                I look around to find something is strange. I do not know, I just feel like someone is watching me. It shivered me, but who?

“Excuse me lady, you are stepping on my hat” a blonde girl approach me

                I step back, realize the soft fabric of her hat on my feet. Geez, she looks scary, is she mad? I gulped.

“I am sorry, I d-did not see it” I said, shuttering on my voice

She laughed, such a attractive and killing laughed “Do not worry, I won’t kill you” she joked

                I keep silent at her words. Still, her presence take me down.

“Hmph, I never me you before. What is your name?” asked the girl

“Yoona. My name is Im Yoona” I said

“Yoona, such a good name. My name is Kim Hyoyeon” she introduced herself “I should train now, hope we will meet again. See you later” she bid a good bye

                I nodded and giver her goodbye before say anything. God, she really is cool and beautiful. She will be pass without trouble!

“Yes, she definitely be one of the lucky trainee. As I know, her dance is awesome” someone said, exactly on my ear, make me shiver and jump

“Yah!” I shout

“Chill it girl, I am not a ghost” the boy chuckled “Oh, introducing, my name is Junsu” he said

“Hi, my name is Yoona” I said

“How is day?” he asked

“Hmph, not bad. You?” I asked back

“Also not bad. If I may know, why did you join this trainning?” he asked

“Asking random stranger with random question, huh?” I asked back

He nodded and asked again “So, the reason is?”

                I do not know. Why? Because Kyuhyun is here? Or because Kyuhyun forced me to be here?

                I laughed at my stupid answered.

“I do not really sure, but I think because this is fun” I said

“You said competiting is fun, huh? People will dying as long as they can come here. You are the only trainee who said that” he explained

“Really? So, I take is as the compliment, huh?” I smile

“You can  if you want” he smiled back “Oh, and how about tomorrow show? Will you give your best performance?” he asked

“You know the answer will be yes. But I do not know, I colaborate with my friend and I believe he will show the best of us” I explained when shrugged my shoulders

“It looks fun. I look forward to it” he said and take a look at his watch “Well, I have to prepare for tomorrow. Hope we will meet there. See you later!”

“See you later!” I replied and he leave me

                Kind boy.

 

JunSu

                I smiled at the last girl I asked.

                Well, of the thrity people, there are only eight people who will pass the audition. Does not it cruel? At what will be happened to the rest of twenty two?

                I have been on my room, looking randomly at the twenty nine people face on my bull eyes. There is nothing awesome with them. It is kind of boring actually. But my eyes catch some of them. I smiled when directing a arrow to their photo.

“Kibum. The boy who take the wrong audition” I stated as an arrow poke his face

                Stuck

“Sunny, the same reason with briliant voice”

                Stuck

“Sungmin. Entered as the special trainee from the last audition”

                Stuck

“Seohyun. Attracted the jury from the first audition”

                Stuck

“Kyuhyun. Full of fun, awesome voice, good impression”

                Stuck

“and” I targeted the last arrow at the girl “Yoona” I said as the arrow stuck on her face “What will be going next?” I grinned

 

Yoona

“Hahhaha! What was happened to you?” I laughed as pointed at his blue –almost dark- colored eyes

“With respectful, the shower is loving me. It tried to kiss me” he stated “Stop talking, you partner is hurt here” he said with a pout

“Seriously no. You are really funny. I can not stop myself. But how? How you get that-“ I pointed at his eyes “Loving mark” I laughed again

“Shut up. Of course because of that brat. He really does not have a heart. He open the door without saying anything, make me shock and hit the shower faucets. He just leave me even I shout out my lungs!” he protested

“Ooh, poor little guy. Let mom give you a hug” I and he pushed me

“” he cursed

                Meanwhile, a girl caught my attention. A skinny-tall girl. I rubbed my eyes to confirm the situation. S-Seohyun? Is that Seohyun? I start to panicked.

“Uh, okay now. Stop it and practiced. We start from the first line, okay?” Kyuhyun wake me up and I nodded

                Perhaps only a people who are similar.

 

SungMin

"Okay, as we planned. It is time to settle all the misunderstanding. So now, face them and apologize. Got it?" I repeated

                Seohyun nodded. We are on the first liner, planning to give a show about friendship. Which we dedicated to her ex-best friends. Kind of apologize in public. Hope they will accept and the misunderstanding stop. However, this is not our turn, so we wait with patient.

                I mean, try to be patient.

                -wait at the first couple to go.

                Yoona and Kyuhyun. Did she realize Seohyun here?

 

Yoona

                Geez, I am not wrong. The girl I saw before is really Seohyun. She is right in front of me. Watching my performance at the first liner. How come she is here?

“Yoona, please be serious. You do not want the others to see you are blinking, right? Now, get your part right!” Kyuhyun asked me, whispering at me

                I nodded and start to concern again.

“Oh you know you know you know, I’d never ask you to change. If perfect’s what you are searching for, then just stay the same. So, don’t even bother asking if you look okay, you know I’ll say-“

“When I see your face. There’s not a thing that I would change, cause you are amazing, just the way you are”

“And when you smile. The whole world stops and stares for a while, cause you are amazing, just the way you are. The way you are-”

“The way you are-“ he stopped a while and hold my hand swith eyes staring with me “Cause girl you are amazing, just the way you are” he sang with his sweetest voice ever

                I smile back then he catch me into a hug.

 

KiBum

“Kamsahamnida” applause can be heard and the couple get out from the stage

                Kyuhyun and the girl immediately give a big deep. Born to be Kyuhyun, he is waving his hand and grinned to the audients. Ch, he looks so happy.

“Sunny, let’s go” I asked the girl to take the turned

“Is it our turn?” she asked with confused

“No, but I manage to. Let’s go. I do not want to lose from that brat” I stated

“Such a boy” she mumbled but following me from behind

 

SungMin

“Yah! Let’s go, it is a good time to meet them!” I pulled Seohyun’s hand

                But the latter seems does not want to.

“Sungmin-ah, wait. I-“

                CLICK

                Suddenly the light turn off. We are forced to see the stage, only to see a couple with suit and black short dress step on the stage. My eyes squinted as the recognation of the couple. Sunny and Kibum, why? Their turned still two or three performance again.

                It appears with Kibum’s smirk and then the music . From the sweet performance, the stage change to be the y and hot one. After Kibum’s smirk, Sunny come and they hold each hands together. They start to dance, which is so good to forget. We stuck here until the performance close to the end. Sunny’s voice is awesome, but their dance is attractive.

“What do we do is innocent, just for fun and nothin’s meant. If you don’t like the company, let’s just do it you and me” she sang “you and me. Or three. Or four. On the floor. 123-“

“Seohyun!”

                We turned around. Yoona is there, with the boy who seems not amused at the performance on going.

“Y-Yoona” Seohyun whispered back

“You are here?” Yoona asked

                She nodded. Just that, they did not say anything.

“Geez” I mumbled and look at the other boy “Hey girls, do you want a drink? I think they give us there, I will get for you all” I said

“Yes, I want coke!” the boy said immediately

                What the hell.

“No, you come with me” I whispered and pulled the boy’s hand harshly

“Yah!” he shouted but seems ike the girls does not pay attention at us, I pulled the boy out of them

“Yah! What is happened with you? Why you pulled me?!” he shout

“Beside you do not like the show, I want to give them private time idiot” I explained

“Time? For what? Yah, do you just call me idiot?!” he protested

“Hold this” I give him a drink

                The time is going, the music start to change, I think it is time to go back. I pulled the boy again after grab a drink for the girls. The boy seem startled, I do not if he already know about the friendship thing or not. However, leave them is something bad. From the front door, I can see them do not talk anything. Standing awkwardly back on back. I sighed.

“Hi. How is the performance?” I asked them

                I grinned. That is Sunny performace, they must be shock.

“Good” is their answered

                I smiled at the unision, then pulled Seohyun to the back stage.

“It is our turned anyway. You two, wait here” I explained, eyes glancing at the last couple who back to the back stage

                On the way, we met Sunny. She looks tired when the boy seems happy because the attention he got.

“Hi Sunny, that was cool. Do not forget to watch us okay? There is something we want to show you” I said, not thinking about the audition again, it is all about friendship

                At the childhood name I called, they blinked various time, especially Sunny who is glancing at Seohyun now. I smiled before pull Seohyun to the stage. With a guitar my hand and a piano standing in the corner, I asked Seohyun to come first. On my corner of my eyes, I can see Sunny stand at the back stage and Yoona in front of us. I take the microphone and test my voice.

“12. Okay, it is working” I whispered “Hello guys, this is our last performance, dedicated to our friends all out there, and here” I emphasize my words “for all misunderstanding who broke the sacred friendship. Please enjoy. Are you ready Seohyun?”

                The girl nodded in embarrasment when I tune the guitar. Our last stage is coming.

 

Yoona

“What is happened with the boy, he is strange” Kyuhyun commented when the couple leave us

                I does not react at his comment but staring t the couple who is on stage, bowing deeply to us. Kyuhyun start to mumble again, but seems like I do not care, he stop. My eyes foccus on the stage that Seohyun and Sungmin will have.

“Hello guys, this is our last performance, dedicated to our friends all out there, and here. For all misunderstanding who broke the sacred friendship” he explained, something like I catch his winked “Please enjoy. Are you ready Seohyun?” he added again

                I took a glance at Sunny who is standing back on stage, looking at the couple. She look at me too, but she throw out her face and back to focus on the stage, where Seohyun start to tune her piano.

 

Sunny

                God, this is awkward. They both here. Yoona is watching me when I am watching Seohyun.

                But what is the boy meaning. He said like he does know our friendship and-

 “Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head. You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread. I lose my way but still you seem to understand, Now and forever-“ the boy sang while playing his guitar

                Geez, he looks cool and sweet at the sometime. His voice is really soft.

“I will be your friend”

                I make an O shaped on my lips.

“What is wrong?” Kibum asked me

Seohyun turned, she give her feeling on the piano so it seems real “Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see. I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me. I'll try to show you each and every way I can. Now and forever, I will be your friend”

Then they both sang together “Now I can rest my worries and always be sure. that I will not be alone anymore, if I'd only known you were there all the time all the time”

                I never hear Seohyun sing before and I never expect her voice is like that good. Kibum start to worried when I squeeze his hand, asking for support.

 

KiBum

                I know she hide something. I am not stupid to stay fifty eight days with her without noticing her bizzare behaviour towards the girls, Seo Joohyun and Im Yoona. If I am not mistaken, she always called Joohyun as Seohyun like she ever know the girl before and always mention Yoona whereas we never talked to her before.

                Geez, so that is. My guess work well. They are the two girls who are ever be friend with Sunny.

 

SungMin

                I smiled at my performance. It looks great because everyone clapped so grateful. Damn, so this is the feeling on the stage. I really like it. I pulled the shy girl to stand next to me, counting to give a deep bow and willy-nilly satisfied at my idea to bring them back together.

                We both off the stage. Once again, I smiled at Sunny, who is glancing at Seohyun.

“Thank you for your attention” I said and pulled Seohyun with me

                We can talk later, now, go to Yoona.

 

Yoona

“Geez, their voice is amazing” Kyuhyun can not stop mumbling after the stage is off

“I know” I whispered shortly

“That they are. Let’s go to there” Kyuhyun asked me and patted my back

“Hi” I said

“Hi” they greet

“Yah, you are so great!” Kyuhyun shake Sungmin’s hand and nervously give a Hi to Seohyun

“Thank you” they both replied “-you too. You have a good performance” Sungmin praised

“Thanks” we said

                The boy start to talk again and again when I just look at Seohyun. What should I do? I do not think we will meet here, in this state. Well, it is a good start to apologize to her.

“Hmph, Seohyun. Actually, actually I want to-“ I said

“Hi!” someone cut off my words

“Junsu-ssi!” Sungmin, Seohyun, and I said together

“What is it? Why only me who did not know him?” I heard Kyuhyun whispered

“Hi guys, well, I am glad you still remember me. You all have a good performance! The best so far” he said

“Thank you” we thanked him

“-because that, I want to ask you. Do you come to the party tonight? In the club next to the villa” he explained

“Which party? I do not know” Kyuhyun grinned

“The one that held by committee to celebrate our success” he explained again “would you join?”

“If there is the case, of course we join” Sungmin stated fast but a frowned can be seen by Seohyun

“Count us in!” Kyuhyun said happily

                Now, I frowned. I do not like to join with that kind of party. I have bad impression with that.

“Alright! I wait you there. See you later!” he shout

“So, where we were?” Sungmin asked again after the boy left

“Hmph, nothing?” I asked back, I want to apologize to Seohyun

“No, we talked about something. Let me think. If I am not wrong, we just talk about, why we join this audition before you forced me to get the drinks to the princesses” Kyuhyun stated

“Oh, that is” Sungmin laughed “Well, we are here because I’d love to sing. How about you?”

“Me too! That is my dream to become a singer!” Kyuhyun shout like he just found his mate “and how about you Seohyun?” he nervously said

                Well, something is strange. Is Seohyun the girl that Kyuhyun always talk about? The angel in his night? I pouted at the thought.

“I am forced to be here” Seohyun said

“Oh, do ot be like that. And how about you Yoona?” Sungmin asked

“Same” I stated

“Yeah, girls today” Kyuhyun teased me

                At the same time, I glace at Seohyun. The girl is looking at me, knowing before I want to talk something with her, so I open my mouth again but seems like God does not allow me to speak, Kyuhyun cut out my words.

“Damn it! I lost my watch on your room. We have to go back before the last performance is finished or else someone will notice me in your room” he whispered to me, secretly look at Seohyun who seems curious

“Alright” I answered shortly

                Then Kyuhyun talk something to both of them. I look at Seohyun, the girl does not seem to will talk to me. So I look down and let Kyuhyun pull me back to room. What are you thinking Yoona, Seohyun is still angry with you, no doubt with that.

 

KyuHyun

 “Here” Yoona stated, a little bit blue than before

“What is wrong?” I asked in worried, take my watch that she gave to me

“Nothing” she answered shortly

“Are you sure?” I asked again

                She nodded, stare blankly at me. I sighed as saw her action. Of course no one will believe that. She started again, seal all her problem.

“I am just sleepy” she lied

“Alright then, sleep and have a rest, I will wait you at the living room before go to the club” I said, choose to play at her little drama

“Yea, bye”

                Not bye Yoona, no. It should be see you later.

                I give my biggest smile and wait her until she close her curtain. Then I sit on the bench, look blankly at the grass when the sound of her crying can be heard on my ears. She is stupid, just tell me what is wrong and I will hug you as a friend.
