Mi Nam went home after practices, and by the time he got there, Mi Nyu and Aunt Mi Ja were already eating dinner.
"Oh, come here, sit, sit!" Aunt Mi Ja amiably told her nephew.
The whole family ate dinner together.... Nice....
**********
As the siblings were preparing for bedtime, Mi Nam went inside Mi Nyu's room and handed her something.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Tickets to a concert," he replied.
When she read the ticket, she saw the name of the artist.
"Kawada Mami..." she read. "Who's that?"
Mi Nam got his cellphone and showed her a picture of the artist.
"This is Kawada Mami," Mi Nam told her. "She's a Japanese singer."
Mi Nyu looked at the picture hard.
"She's pretty," Mi Nyu said.
"Ya, do you want to listen to some of her songs?" he asked.
Mi Nyu nodded, although she had to confess that she did not quite understand Japanese.
"Me neither," Mi Nam said.
He sat beside her and manipulated his phone.
"Let's watch her concert," he slyly said as he pressed play.
Both of them watched as Mami performed "Triangle."

("Triangle" is the 1st ending song of the anime, Shakugan No Shana 2.... speaking of which, I miss Shana....)
"Wow, I like her voice, Oppa," Mi Nyu said. "I have never heard someone sound like she does."
Mi Nam smirked. He knew that Mami sings that way, but he was not sure if someone else sounded the way she sings.
"Want to hear another song?" he asked her, and she nodded.
He scanned through his playlist and picked another song.
"I love this," Mi Nam said. "Coz it is sad."

("Akai Namida (Red Tears)" is the insert song of Shakugan No Shana movie.)
Mi Nyu watched the concert again and listened.
"Ne, the song is kinda sad..." she said.
This is the English translation of the song.
A city dyed by the sunset sky and your face from the side-
What are you thinking about, what are you looking at, what are you feeling?
For instance, if we can’t see our future ahead
Then I’ll grip your hand and we’ll run endlessly
Recover your smile and dreams and love and joys
It’s not too late even now
Because no one will blame you
For the physical things, that only those are the everything here
The time of dusk hurries by, making my heart forget
Like how I cut up a busy flow and turned it into a photo
You told me that you love this place and red tears fell down your cheeks
I had a feeling that we wouldn’t ever be able to meet again
Your tears, lies, sadness, and regrets, everything is a proof of that I was here with you
I vow in my chest
That our parting is the beginning of a memory that only the two of us know
Someday, we’ll meet again…
As it is, the whispering voice grows afar
And your shadow is swallowed by the setting sun
Tell me that I didn’t spend any time in vain…
Recall your smile, dreams, love, and joys
And they’ll echo eternally
Because we can’t believe
That the physical things, that only those are the everything here...
"Oppa, thank you for the tickets," Mi Nyu told him.
"Ah...you're welcome... but you should thank Shin Woo-hyung for that one," he told her.
"Shin Woo-hyung?" she echoed.
"Ne. Just look at the ticket. VIP passes!" Mi Nam remarked. "Where else could I get such treats but from him?"
Mi Nam felt cool having a very cool best friend.
"His eomma is the event organizer, so no need to analyze why I get to have free tickets," he bragged.
Mi Nyu gripped the tickets in her hand.
"Oppa, I have two tickets...to whom should I give the other one?"
~troinkzzzzz~
"Oh!, the other one is mine, my bad...." Mi Nam said as he got the other one.
Mi Nyu inspected the last ticket in her hand. She definitely should see this for three reasons.
* She became a Kawada Mami fan overnight.
* Mi Nam is coming.
* Shin Woo is coming.
Shin Woo....thoughts of her classmate tugged her heartstrings, and she felt some giddiness inside of her. She knew she liked Tae Kyung, but why was she more excited to feel more for Shin Woo?
"Good night," Mi Nam said as he kissed her hair before leaving.
Mi Nyu continued studying, but could not even continue. This feeling, was this the one they call "crush"?
"Have I...fallen for you, Shin Woo-hyung?" she asked herself.
