Chapter 17
The Exiled Ice Princess
“Everybody, let’s give it up for......... The Jung Sisters!”
The crowd then cheered and applauded the striking presence of the main guests as they are approaching to the center of the stage.
Everyone knew that Krystal is innately good with the piano and Jessica has an outstanding angelic vocals, and so they wanted to
showcase these abilities to the whole world once again. At least they wanted everyone to believe in that sole intention. However,
the main point of this performance is just for Jessica. This performance is for her to express her feelings to the people that caused
her misery. She wanted to relay the message to the eight girls using the painfully accurate lyrics that their chosen songs are made up of.
As the cheerful noises gradually died down, Krystal moved to the piano and settled calmly while Jessica was left standing at the
center with her microphone positioned in front of her chest.
When Krystal started to soulfully the keys of the piano, Jessica prepared herself and then instinctively positioned the
microphone in front of her mouth right when her cue to start was given.
Oh, how about a round of applause?
Yeah, standing ovation? Ooh, oh yeah
Yeah y-yeah yeah
The memories of her first encounter with Taeyeon flashed before her eyes.
That moment when she grabbed her for a confrontation in that awkwardly spacious and chilly dressing room.
And right on that moment, the lyrics of the song just flowed freely right out of her mouth.
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
She reminisce bitterly at the image of Tayeon crying in front of her as she was expressing her long hidden feelings for her.
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
And baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
Jessica’s eyes are now welling up. Hurt surged in her veins when she recalled that painful moment of Taeyeon’s selfishness.
But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now its time to go, curtains finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But its over now
(But its over now)
Go on and take a bow
Indeed. Jessica thought.
Grab your clothes and get gone
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talking 'bout, Girl, I love you," "You're the one"
This just looks like a rerun
Please, what else is on?
Jessica smirked at Taeyeon’s confession of love to her. Selfish love confession, she corrected herself.
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
And baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now its time to go, curtains finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But its over now
(But its over now)
Go on and take a bow
And here it goes. With all her emotions crumpled for Taeyeon, she nailed the bridge of the song to perfection.
Oh, and the award for the best liar goes to you
(Goes to you)
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech out
How about a round of applause?
A standing ovation?
But you put on quite a show, really had me going
Now its time to go, curtains finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But its over now
(But its over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now
And as a tear is about to fall down, she bowed her head.
The appreciative yet mellow applause from the audience came through, successfully warming and comforting the
hearts of both girls.
And as promised, they will perform two songs. And the next song is for all of them. The song is not just for Taeyeon,
but also for the rest of the girls. For each and every one of them. No matter how painful it is, she had to deliver her message for them.
Her goodbye.
The heartwarming applause of the audience gradually died down when Krystal once again masterfully played with the piano keys.
And on cue, Jessica started, with tears clouding her eyes.
Someday, you're gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
By then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I can't
And a tear fell. Jessica didn’t bother to wipe it off since she knew exactly that more of it is coming. The pain and sadness buried
deep in her heart is finally escaping, bits by bits, and hopefully right after this performance, she can live her life well and start afresh.
I know
You don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long
Won't take long
Yeah, most of you didn’t really see my worth. And I’m hoping that getting over all of you won’t take long.
Jessica bitterly and sadly thought.
Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday
Yeah, it’s better to be around with people who truly accepts you for who you are.
But now
I know you can't tell
I'm down and I'm not doing well
But one day these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry
Sweet goodbye
Indeed. Sweet goodbye.
Through the tears flowing freely on Jessica’s face, her painful yet genuine smile successfully came through.
Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place wo oh oh
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday,
And Jessica promised to herself that from now on, she will be more positive.
Live her life to the fullest and not entertain negativities.
I know someone's gonna be there
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
someday, someday
oh yeah yeah
With tears still flowing, smile not so bright, she successfully finished the song leaving a huge impact to her viewers.
The audience were surely touched by Jessica and Krystal’s emotional performance. Tears welling up in their eyes
as they were clapping with all their hearts to the two beautiful girls in front of them. Such a soulful and full of
emotion performance, indeed. Another Jessica and Krystal signature epic performance.
And with that, they exited the studio with a contented smile.
And in front of the television, another seven pairs of eyes are still continually producing tears even though the performance
ended a few minutes ago.
While the beholder of the 8th pair is now searching for the person she truly loved in the studio where she awhile ago
performed, and sadly never knowing that also just a moment ago before she arrived, that person vacated.
A/N
The lyrics that I have mentioned are from the songs 'Take a Bow' which is performed originally by Rihanna
and the other one is 'Someday' that is originally performed by Nina.
Jessica's covers of these songs are amazing. You should also try to listen to these, esp. Someday.
Thank you all.
