Chapter 4
Here Comes the LightAfter settling everyone down and hearing about their summer Ms. Song again turned the attention towards Haneul. "Haneul dear, you see, we have this type of initiation ritual where every new student must sing in front of the class. Each student sang when they first entered vocal class in freshman year and it has been mostly the same students. Every once in a while we would get a new student and this sort of tradition naturally started. So come on up dear, the floor is all yours!"
Ms. Song was visibly very excited to hear the new student but Haneul is pretty sure she was always like this.
For Haneul, singing was something she thought herself to be fairly strong in. She's actually quite confident in the field so she gets up without a nervous thought in her mind.
As she walked up to the front of the room, she thought of her favorite artist and a song of the artist's that could display her talents.
"Hi again everyone. I'm going to sing Heaven by Ailee. I hope you all enjoy it!" *Let's go Haneul!*
"Where you are, I will be there too
Where you go, I will go there too
I smile for you every day, I pray for you
With thoughts of you, I fall asleep I open my eyes as I call for you
You protect me by my side and you embrace me
You are my heaven
* You're my only one way
Only for you I am thankful that I am next to you
You're the only one babe
You taught me love in this harsh world I am happy with you alone
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven x2
If we're together we will never cry never never cry
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven x2
Forever, together never gonna be alone"
The few people who were whispering in the beginning went silent. Haneul was singing her heart out, letting her voice convey the emotion of the song. Her voice was strong but soft at the same time. Haneul was mesmerizing every single person in the room with just the first verse.
"I breathe in your arms, we kiss in your arms
When I hear your voice, it feels like I'm dreaming
I can tell from your eyes, I can tell about your love
You are my heaven
* You're my only one way
Only for you I am thankful that I am next to you
You're the only one babe
You taught me love in this harsh world I am happy with you alone
Heaven my only person, yes the person who will protect me
Any sadness, any pain if only I'm with you
I'm not jealous of anyone else hold my two trembling hands
Because the reason I live is you
* You're my only one way
Only for you I am thankful that I am next to you
You're the only one babe
You taught me love in this harsh world I am happy with you alone
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven x2
If we're together we will never cry never never cry
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven x2
Forever, together never gonna be alone
Oh, so alone."
By the end of the song, the whole room was in a trance like state, trying to take in the voice that was just projecting from Haneul's mouth. If you looked around the room, you could even see a couple of jaws hanging low in disbelief.
Haneul just stood in there, waiting for some type of response. But not a sound was heard. After a couple of seconds though, Ms. Song recovered and opened to say, "Wow
