Karaoke

Change

The four of them met up outside a karaoke place, to celebrate Chorong's discharge from the hospital. Even when they were in the room, the atmostphere was awkward. Ever since that day the incident between Eunji and Naeun happened, this was the first time they were meeting. For Eunji, she still felt very hurt from Naeun's departure, but at the same time she felt like she might have gone a little far, and Naeun might have been too hurt by it. Naeun, on the other hand, blamed herself for leaving Eunji. After hearing Eunji's string of explosion that day, it was not an understatement to say that she was pretty much in agony.

They settled down on the U-shaped sofa. Chorong and Bomi were sitting in the middle, whereas Eunji and Naeun each sat on one end of the sofa, both looking away from each other's direction. The silent and still atmosphere made Bomi rather uncomfortable, so she decided to try to break it. Walking towards the TV, she picked up the microphone and set a song with the karaoke system.

"Ahem ahem. Let's have fun tonight." The three others gave their attention to her. "I'll start first. I chose a song."

Bomi looked straight at Chorong. "This song is for you, Rong."

Chorong's eyes widened at Bomi's sentence. Pointing to herself, she said, "M-Me?"

"Yeah." Without further ado, Bomi started singing "So Long".

Do you remember how you and I were so young and small?
We were always together, do you remember our friends who were jealous of us?

You held my small hand and protected me, always smiling only at me
Baby, we didn’t know back then, we were too young

You came to me, into my heart, as something more than a friend
Next to you, I hid my heart, hiding behind the friend label

Do you think of those days like I do sometimes? Do you remember
The nice breeze, the warm sunlight that shone on us? Do you remember

We resembled each other so much and you were my precious friend
Baby, that’s what I believed but you came to me and it was so strange

You came to me, into my heart, as something more than a friend
Next to you, I hid my heart, hiding behind the friend label

Honestly, I was afraid, I wasn’t used to my trembling heart when I saw you
Actually, I resented you for acting like everything was normal
Why didn’t you know my heart?

Feel me, feel me, tell me, tell me, love me, love me (though it’s too late)
Feel me, feel me, tell me, tell me, love me, love me (though it’s too late)

You came to me, into my heart, as something more than a friend
Next to you, I hid my heart, hiding behind the friend label


Bomi did not know what got into her, she just felt the urge to sing this song. Chorong, in return, decided to sing "Sunday Monday".

Yesterday and today, I saw you but I miss you again
It’ll be the same tomorrow, all week, I only think of you

I turned the calendar and counted our days (our memories)
I saw you every single day, you know what I’m saying

I love you, Sunday Monday and Sunday Monday
Every day, it’s not enough even when I see you every day
Sunday Monday, always with you
Every day, will you hug me as if time has stopped?

When we’re together, time flies by
My once boring diary is now filled up with you (precious memories)
I want to write all about us and show you

I love you, Sunday Monday and Sunday Monday
Every day, it’s not enough even when I see you every day
Sunday Monday, always with you
Every day, will you hug me as if time has stopped?

Always stay by my side like you are now, just smile
I’ll protect you, look at me next to you, hold my hand

I love you, Sunday Monday and Sunday Monday
Every day, just us two

I love you, Sunday Monday and Sunday Monday
Every day, it’s not enough even when I see you every day
Sunday Monday, always with you
Every day, will you hug me as if time has stopped?

I love you, Sunday Monday and Sunday Monday
Every day, it’s not enough even when I see you every day
Sunday Monday, always with you
Every day, will you hug me as if time has stopped?

 

At that moment, both Eunji and Naeun were getting a bit awkward from the love the two were expressing for each other. Throughout the two songs, Naeun had been drinking, and she was actually kind of drunk. Snatching over the microphone, she started passionately singing "Fairytale Love".

 

 

From the beautiful fairy tales from my childhood
The love that I learned for the first time was all about the fluttering feelings

I thought that kind of love would come to me too

Need you, I really didn’t know back then
Need you, I thought we’d last forever
I didn’t know how precious you were and only complained every day
Now I finally know that the pain is greater than that love
Our story has ended like that, becoming a sad memory, my love

This isn’t the love I used to know
I thought it was like what I dreamed of, in the fairytales

I guess I was too young to know love back then

Need you, I really didn’t know back then
Need you, I thought we’d last forever
I didn’t know how precious you were and only complained every day
My love

Now I finally know that you’re so precious
I finally realized that you’re the love that I learned with my heart

Now, as she sang the last two lines, tears were strolling down her face. 

Now I can’t turn things back, it’s too late, you’re not by my side
But our beautiful story is still in my heart, my love

Eunji was crying as well. Though it was just lyrics, both of them knew the truth behind those words.

Looking at the sight before them, Bomi cuddled into Chorong's arms. "Rong, do you know? From the moment we fought till the moment you wake up, I felt like this. It was like I finally knew how precious you are. I felt like things were too late, but yet the times we have shared are just too deeply etched in my mind."

Chorong looked at her girlfriend who was in her arms and smiled. "Bbom ah, you know what? I don't want to remember anymore. Let's just spend our time making more memories. Memories that are even more beautiful."

Their sweet moment was disrupted by Naeun's drunken actions. After finishing her song, she threw the microphone to the ground without turning it off, the microphone emitting a sharp sound non-stop. Then she took off the cardigan she was wearing and almost literally pounced onto Eunji. The sight of Naeun going slightly wild made Eunji tremble slightly while she was under Naeun. The latter tried to force kisses on Eunji, but was fortunately pushed away by the two other girls. Bomi helped the mildly traumatised Eunji up while Chorong harshly pushed Naeun towards the wall. 

"Son Naeun, what do you think you are doing now? Get a grip!" Chorong shouted. She was actually very worried at Naeun's current state. However, she did not get a response. Naeun ignored her and shouted, "Eunji ah, leave that oppa and come back to me!"

"Leave your oppa!"

"Leave."

"I'm sorry.."

"Sorry..."

Naeun just got weaker and weaker each time she said something. She sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. She was crying really badly now. "Eunji ah, I need you.." 
 


A/N: A chapter more filled with lyrics >< ChoMi's expressing-of-feelings time~ <3 Naeun's really suffering, though :/ After this, will 2eun be more awkward? Or will Eunji really leave In Guk?

@akumatsubasa this is no way a patch up but.. maybe Eunji will feel sad for Naeun and realise some stuff??

@sparklinghealthykid yepyep. and yeah :/ both of them are though. Naeun should never have left T_T

@budhakz_marshie I wonder too, lol >< do you like chomi's progress in here? :) hahaha if it's a random suggestion, why not just use it xD

@ckaz99 whether a make up can happen really can't be confirmed judging from the situation now TT

Chapter 31: feels and memories and emotions uwaahh T.T can you believe I commented here so long ago when this was still being written? I'm gonna say that every time I see my name hehe, it's so cool and also just wow how time has flown~ like, this was before Luv era? I was here before Luv era?! I forget it myself haha but enough about me, I'll speak on this story.

It was indeed the sweet and dramatic rollercoaster in the best fanfic way possible! haha it just has the tropes I grew up with and written in a nice way; all in the one fic but nothing's out of place. I especially want to highlight how well some conflicts are resolved, like the minor ones that could've caused argument between Chorong and Bomi in the days the parents opposed them. It stood out to me a lot, how much I love that they know each other so well to the point of knowing what they would do - that Chorong punched the wall and also pleaded without dignity. (Bomi being stern and patting her on the head was adorable hehe.) If something's wrong, even if they didn't tell each other immediately or wanted to hide it, the truth came out not long later - like when Bomi was stuck in her house without a phone. Then suddenly Chorong appeared for another reason so that was solved unexpectedly, but you have no idea I was so relieved! Omg and the text messages that led to punching the wall, that part solved quickly and so relieving for me. hahahaha I like that it's unexpected in those ways. through their warmth and tears, thank you for writing this one <3 I've enjoyed it well again ^^

Chapter 4: At least you could write that Eunji likes Naeun, not Bomi, so that neither of them is set aside... and 2Eun is also so good that we'd all love that
Maybe you do that on the next chapters but I haven't got there yet
