Chapter 41

5 Pieces' Magnae (5)

The moment 5 Pieces finished filming the music video for [Switch] on Thursday they headed to Japan where they spent the night. Early in the morning their Tokyo schedule started. During the day they did short TV interviews but before that they sang their Japanese version of [I Love You] in a morning program. They also did a Christmas greeting for all the Korean, Japanese and International fans (which means they spoke in Korean, Japanese and English). The last thing on their Tokyo schedule is a performance of the Japanese versions of both [I Love You] and [Hey! Hey! Hey!] on the program Music Station. After that, 5 Pieces heads back to Korea, Seoul.

On Saturday, the girls wake up with the thought of Christmas. Christmas is the holiday to spend with your family, but since their families are in Sweden and they are in Korea, this Christmas will be spent like it has been the past few years: with each other and their fans.

“Merry Christmas!” Carolina is laughing the whole morning when the girls are getting ready to leave the apartment. Hannah laughs and says the same back. She is sitting in the kitchen with Maria, the two of them painting their nails red. Hannah gets really proud of it when she is done with her nails.

Whoever they meet during the day, both at the saloon and when they come to the music program, they keep repeating the Christmas greetings. 5 Pieces have fixed a Christmas outfit – both hair and clothes – for their Music Core special performance. Hannah’s hair is wavy and she has a tiny finger sized Santa hat as a barrette. She looks very cute in today’s outfit.

Backstage, it is crazy. Maria says she doesn’t have a Christmas feeling, but she is still the one running and jumping around, singing carols and greeting other singers happily. It’s hard not to do like Maria since a lot of singers are present today. People the girls see often, and not so often.

Hand in hand, Hannah and Julia bow politely when meeting Infinite in the corridor. The two girls walk a little further away to one of the noisy rooms and they knock on the open door. In there, no one hears them so Julia looks inside anyway. A loud voice greets them in the mess of Super Junior members and the girls are welcomed inside.

“Just in time,” Eunhyuk laughs and waves them over, holding on to a cell phone. Hannah knows what he wants to do and pretends to greet the others instead, but after taking a photo with Julia, Eunhyuk pulls Hannah over to take a picture with her too. Hannah makes a cute pose with him for the photo, and Eunhyuk is more than satisfied with the photos with them.

Emelia is running around with her camera backstage, taking photos of and with different friends. For Emelia, Hannah is happily posing when she is being photographed with someone else. The photos of her and Maria are probably the weirdest – Maria is like always making huge varieties of poses and Hannah is just happily following along.

But then their own performance is coming up. For the pre-recording they did [I Love You] in the morning, but with their cute Christmas clothes they will perform the English song [All I Want For Christmas] they sang for SM Town Winter Album. Though they sure joked around and had fun backstage, they did not forget to practice for the performance over and over again once in a while.

(All I want for Christmas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxO1iGGw8t4)

*I~ don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree* Carolina sings on the stage with her undying smile.

Maria sings beautifully next to her, the two of them being alone on the pretty stage:

*I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true~

All I want for Christmas i~s you~~*

Maria is a great singer and she sings out beautifully while the melody is warming up. At the end of her final long tone, the other three members comes out from the back on the stage. All of them sings together.

*I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

(And I) don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree*

[Julia] *I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

[Carolina] Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day*

[Hannah] *I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true*

[All] *All I want for Christmas is you~ [Hannah + Maria] you~ baby*

The audience loves every single moment of the song. Hannah looks at Maria when singing together, and she later sings with Carolina and the two of them are passionately looking at each other while doing the performance. The cuteness is natural by now, though Hannah is still in her bad habit of winking too much since they made the comeback in August. The fans love it though.

After the program, the girls decide to have some fun. It’s snowing outside, so when the girls comes home to the apartment they all leaves their things inside and heads out to the nice weather. They are all in a good mood, singing and jumping around. Emelia has her camera and is taking pictures of the weather and the girls, really putting it to use lately.

“So even if we will spend another Christmas without meatballs and presents, and even if it’s not a meter high snow, it is damn fun,” Maria is talking and throws her feet up with the snow.

“I like it that we don’t buy presents to each other,” Julia mentions with her arm around Hannah’s.

“It’s not like we have time to buy it anyway,” Emelia chuckles. “Carolina tried to sneak in presents last time, which was a big fail.”

They laugh at the memory two years ago when Carolina had hidden the presents and Maria found them in search for some chocolate that their manager had hidden from them to not eat. Such a fail, they all remembers. Since then they didn’t have much time to either buy presents or celebrate Christmas like they do in Sweden, the girls decided to just have fun on Christmas with their schedule. They don’t dislike it since the whole year is so great for them that they don’t really wish much for Christmas.

But the girls are out on the street, and it isn’t very difficult to recognize the five foreign girls who are so well known in the country. Several people the girls walk by turn around and start to whisper ‘isn’t that…’ The girls are happily enjoying the walk though; pretending to not notice how many people recognizes them. Three older boys who are on the way back from being out buying some things their family had forgotten for the day, notices the foreign girls laughing across the street. They all recognize the girls since they are still wearing the make-up from the music program.

“So about tomorrow,” Maria puts her hands together and turns around to look at her members and walk backwards. “What should I wear?”

“We should’ve let Yong Hyun come along,” Hannah jokes to the other girls, “he could’ve gone through the whole wardrobe to help.”

Maria dreams away, wondering what she can wear for tomorrow. In the end they come to conclusion to let their stylist Yong Hyun help them the next day for the Christmas party. They still gives each other ideas of what to wear for the party and talks about who will be there and such.

That makes Hannah think of Honggi. FT Island will be at the party, but Hannah hasn’t talked to Honggi since that day when they were shooting the music video. She doesn’t want to talk to him either. So she keeps smiling with her members instead, having fun while walking around in the snow.

After taking their joyful walk, the girls return to the apartment. Hannah and Julia both get a ride by their manager to the gym after dropping Carolina for her radio program. Maria was going to take a bath and read a book while Emelia was either going to sleep or watch TV – Emelia also goes through her photos to upload some on their blog to send everyone a Christmas greeting filled with smile.

Sunday, the girls do a special Christmas performance on Inkigayo of the song [All I Want For Christmas] before they heads home and starts to prepare for the party. Carolina has her radio first, but the other girls can calmly get ready. Yong Hyun is with them and helps out with what to wear; he will also go to the party, so he is nicely dressed up and styled. It is fun to hang out with him because he is just as girly in his way as Maria is when she is in her princess mood.

Hannah gets dressed in a pair of black tights, a thin black shirt with a white tank top under it and a long silver necklace. Yong Hyun helps her to choose what to wear on her feat, Emelia also helps out so in the end Hannah puts on a pair of black heels. Again she is the first one ready to leave, so she is bored waiting in front of the TV for everyone else to get ready.

Manager Kim gives the girls a ride to the party; Carolina will come later. Hannah isn’t letting her cell phone go, keeping texting with Jonghyun who also will be at the party. When they arrive there are a lot of people there already and Hannah is like a tail for Maria when mingling around. Yong Hyun quickly disappears in the crowd while Julia stays next to Hannah. Emelia leaves to talk to someone else too.

Time passes and Maria is taking on the dance floor. Hannah happily joins her and Julia is with them too along with a lot of other people. Yong Hyun founds his way to the girls too, dancing his way over to them. It doesn’t matter that they have been drinking, Maria always dances crazily and the others are having fun to the music. Instead of thinking they need to dance ily, they just dance how they fee like. It’s a little embarrassing though; both Julia and Hannah are laughing when seeing Maria dancing.

They head to the side to rest before they will dance again, and they all get something more to drink.

“I can see you were first again,” a voice says to the girls and FT Island’s Jaejin comes up to them. He puts an arm around Maria and asks what she is drinking. He gets to taste and decides to get the same thing. The moment he goes to get his own drink, Hannah looks over her shoulder. If Jaejin is there, the other members of FT island are too.

Maria looks also over her shoulder, following Hannah. “What are you going to say to him?” Maria wonders.

“I won’t talk to him,” Hannah says and looks forward again, ignoring to look after Honggi. Maria sighs.

“I do agree with you that he is a jerk, Hannah, but it’s still Honggi.”

Hannah looks at her, not looking interested at all. Maria gives out a sigh again before Jaejin comes back. Hannah finishes her glass before walking off, wondering when Jonghyun will come. On her way through the dancing people, going right and left and slinking through the dancing crowd, someone comes up in front of her. When she is about to go left to walk by, that person also takes left. When Hannah walks in a crowd she always looks down, just like now, so she looks up to see who it is.

Exactly the person who among everyone there is the person Hannah does not want to meet, or see or hear from at all. Honggi is standing in front of her and Hannah takes a step back when looking up at him. She walks in someone when she takes a step back and she turns around to apologize when Honggi takes her hand to pull her to the side. Hannah tries to get out of his grip so Honggi turns around, holding her close to him.

“Give me one minute,” he tells her. Hannah is pouting at him, but decides to go with him. They doesn’t leave the party, they just go to the side where no one will hear them. Hannah is quiet, looking around while waiting for him to talk. “You won’t forgive me for what happened a few days ago, won’t you?”

Hannah gives him a glare.

“Then can we forget it? Pretend it never happened,” Honggi suggests.

“I can’t do that,” Hannah tells him. “I’m tired of trying being your friend Honggi. You have slowly been making it worse time after time, and I can’t take it anymore.”

“What do you mean?” Honggi looks worried.

Hannah looks sadly yet irritated at him. “I can’t be your friend, Honggi. Please don’t talk to me anymore.” She walks away, hurrying over to Maria who is still sitting with Jaejin and also Minhwan is there with them. She gives a brief greeting to Minhwan before looking over her shoulder, not seeing Honggi anywhere she sits down with them.

Hannah is restless though. The others are entertained by how much she drinks, but between the drinking they heads up to dance. When they are again heading off the dance floor, Hannah finally able to not think about Honggi, she see someone that right away makes her body feel even warmer than what it is.

Jonghyun smiles when Hannah comes up to him and he happily puts his arms around her. Everyone around who doesn’t know they are more than friends, wouldn’t see they are more than friends. Even if both Hannah and Jonghyun looks at each other with eyes filled with love, they are still keeping a slightly distance so others won’t misunderstand.

“I saw you dancing,” Jonghyun tells Hannah and puts her hair behind her shoulder.

“Do you want to join me?” Hannah happily asks him and takes his hand. Jonghyun gives a laugh and happily followers her back to the dance floor.
