FLASHBACK

Tablo hyung convinced me to send a message to Hayi-ah first for a recording at the studio. I have to find the courage first to text her so I went to Kimbap hyung’s room.

“We can never agree on one thing. Lee Hi and I.” I said sounding so hopeless.

“It’s because Lee Hi is Kim Hanbin. Kim Hanbin is Lee Hi.” Answered Bobby Hyung without even bothering to glance at my direction while playing computer games.

“What do you mean?”

“You are so alike. Too passionate. Too hard on yourself. Too competitive. Too perfectionist. You are the same person. You’re like fireworks. If you’re together, you’ll explode.”

“Then that means we’re no good for each other. We’ll only destroy each other.”

“It means, you need to use that great force to create something beautiful. It’s gonna be amazing, you, together. It’s gonna be powerful.”

“You mean, the song?”

“I mean you and Lee Hi. For whatever it is.” he smiled, like his usual smile, when you can no longer tell where his eyes went.

At the studio.

The walls surrounding me are cages

Made to look like heaven

I was given a voice

But the sound I make are all trapped under

It has become an echo until you can no longer hear anything

Upon reading the lyrics she wrote, I can feel the sadness. The desparation. And even if I wanted to help her so much, I also wanted to let her go with Tablo hyung. Or PSY hyung, or even De
