Do You Hear Me? I'm Talking to You

Better Late than Never

 

Min Ho, Min Young and Shin Hye went together at the bar. It was a fancy bar, indeed. A person needs a membership for him/her to be able to go inside so not all people can just go there. Since Min Ho is his cousin and he owns 20% of it, he is able to bring his friends easily. Min Young and Min Ho are busy flirting with each other so Shin Hye was kinda left out. Suddenly he felt a pair of hands in her eyes.

“I can’t see! Who’s this?!”

“Guess who.” Immediately after the guy spoke, Shin Hye was startled and was able to remove his hands.

“Hong Ki-ya!”

“Shin Hye-ya!” Hong Ki gave her a back hug for it’s been a long time since she last saw her friend.

“Ya! I can’t breathe Hong Ki!” She slightly pushed him away, but she was really happy to see him.

Shin Hye and Hong Ki are childhood friends and grade school classmates but his family migrated to the States for awhile because they have a family business to attend there. She only knew that he and Min Ho are cousins when he already went back to Korea to stay for good.

 “Long time no see Shin Hye!” She slightly hit her friend’s back.

“You’re still the same sadistic Shin Hye I know. Kekeke. I’m really happy to see you!”

“Me too, Hong Ki-ya!”

***

Yong Hwa was feeling uneasy because he had talked to Min Ho over the phone earlier and that he’s bringing company.

 

Flashback.

“How’s your date? Did anything happen?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Have you already told her about your feelings?”

“Aniya! I don’t think this is the right time.”

“Then when is it? That’s what you always say! Maybe that’s the reason why she fell for Hyun Joong. He told her straight that he likes her, unlike YOU. I’m sure Shin Hye doesn’t want a guy who doesn’t have the guts to fight for his feelings…”

“We KISSED.”

“MWO?!”

“You heard me.”

“And then??”

“She told me to forget about it.”

“Aish! I don’t know what to do with you two! Anyway, we’ll be watching your performance later.”

“WE?! Who’s that ‘we’ you’re talkin’ about?”

“You’ll find out later. Pick the song that suits your emotions, arasseo?”

“And why would I do that?”

“Because… well… so that you will be able to feel the song more! I’m just giving you some tips!”

“Ara.”

Min Ho hung up first.

End of flashback.

 

“Gwaenchanha, hyung?” the drummer was worried for him.

“Ah, ne. I’m fine Min Hyuk.”

“You look so tensed. Is something bothering you, Yong?” Jong Hyun, the guitarist and vocalist aside from Yong Hwa, also observed his actions.

“Don’t mind me. I’m ok. Really. It’s just that… my friends are coming over to watch us.”

“Jinja? Geureom, we should do our best, hyung! Is Shin Hye eonni here?! I really want to meet her!”

Jung Shin, and the other bandmates, also knew about his feelings for Shin Hye. They already knew that she is the reason if Yong Hwa seemed to act strange. He’ll talk about her during their band rehearsals and the three will be listening. They are also a fan of Shin Hye. Aside from the Glitterati, Yong Hwa has also made friends with Jong Hyun, Jung Shin and Min Hyuk since they are all classmates in college with the same course, Applied Music. Together, they formed a band named ‘Azul’.

It was their turn to perform. Girls in the front row are screaming and giggling when the four came out of the stage.  His eyes are searching someone from the crowd.

Shin Hye is here.

Min Ho and Min Young gave him an encouraging gesture “Hwaiting!” to cheer him up. Shin Hye was there doing the same thing. She wears a big smile on her face.

He let out a sigh before holding the mic.

“Tonight, we will be singing, ‘Just So You Know’ by Jesse McCartney. I hope you will all like it.”

Just So You Know

 

I shouldn't love you but I want to

I just can't turn away

I shouldn't see you but I can't move

I can't look away

 

I shouldn't love you but I want to

I just can't turn away

I shouldn't see you but I can't move

I can't look away

 

And I don't know

How to be fine when I'm not

'Cause I don't know

How to make a feeling stop

 

Just so you know

This feeling's takin' control

Of me and I can't help it

I won't sit around

I can't let him win now

 

Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go

Of you but I don't want to

I just gotta say it all before I go

Just so you know

 

It's gettin' hard to be around you

There's so much I can't say

Do you want me to hide the feelings

And look the other away

 

And I don't know

How to be fine when I'm not

'Cause I don't know

How to make a feeling stop

 

Just so you know

This feeling's takin' control

Of me and I can't help it

I won't sit around

I can't let him win now

 

Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go

Of you but I don't want to

I just gotta say it all before I go

Just so you know

 

This emptiness is killin' me

And I'm wonderin' why I've waited so long

Lookin' back I realize it was always there

Just never spoken

 

I'm waitin' here

Been waitin' here

 

Just so you know

This feeling's takin' control

Of me and I can't help it

I won't sit around

I can't let him win now

 

Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go

Of you but I don't want to

Just gotta say it all before I go

Just so you know, just so you know

 

Thought you should know

I've tried my best to let go

Of you but I don't want to

Just gotta say it all before I go

Just so you know, just so you know

 

 

 

When the audience noticed that his eyes are only looking at one place, they were all shocked to see who it was, no other than Shin Hye, the celebrity. They felt giddy at Yong Hwa’s gestures to her. She was intently listening to his song, every line, every word, as if he composed the song for her.

Are you telling me what you feel Yong Hwa-ya? You’re getting me really confused right now.

“Omo! Isn’t that the model goddess, Park Shin Hye?! She and Yong Hwa oppa look good together! If ever they’re gonna have a fans club, I’ll definitely join them!” you said to fellow fans.

Hong Ki went to the stage and stole the mic from Yong Hwa, in a good way.

“That was a heartfelt performance Yong Hwa-ya! Gamsahamnida! By the way, we got a visitor here! Hello Miss Park Shin Hye!”

She was kinda embarrassed at what Hong Ki did. Surely, he’s not gonna end it like that.

“Shin Hye-ya, can you please sing us a song?”

The crowd is cheering for her madly. “Shin Hye! Shin Hye! Shin Hye!”

She didn’t have a choice. She stood up and went straight to the stage and gives Hong Ki a smile with an expression, ‘We’ll talk later.’

“Ara. I will be singing ‘Love Song’ by Sara Bareilles.” She went to the piano and started playing it.

 

Love Song

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

 

 

Yong Hwa was closely watching her backstage. Just by hearing her voice, it seems to him that all his worries faded away.

“Wow! Chukahae! She’s not just great in pictures, she has the talent as well!” you was really amazed by Shin Hye’s performance while clapping the hands real hard.

“That was wonderful Shin Hye-ya! We all liked it!”

Before Shin Hye could go down the stage, the crowd is shouting for “More! More!”

“How about a duet with Yong Hwa oppa?” you suggested while standing up and encouraging the crowd to agree.

“Yeah! We want a duet!” The audience agreed.

“Yong Hwa! Come here!” Hong Ki even asked him to bring along Yong Hwa’s guitar.

“Shin Hye-ya! They’re asking for it!” Hong Ki was washing his hands. He’s really naughty at times. He also saw how Yong Hwa stares at her.

“Arasseo. But, what will we sing?”

“Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat.” Min Young shouted.

“Yeah! Yong Hwa knows the chords! He used to sing it during practice.” Min Hyuk yelled from the backstage. When Yong Hwa looked at his bandmates, they are all giving him an encouraging look.

“Hwaiting Yong!”

The MinMin couple had it all planned with Hong Ki and the band. And it worked. The couple felt that they should do something so that these two shall have a chance to confess each other’s feelings, even though Shin Hye is already with Hyun Joong.

Hong Ki put two chairs in the stage for Shin Hye and Yong Hwa to sit.

Lucky

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

 

The two sang it with perfect harmony. The audience are spazzing because they can see that the two of them definitely have te chemistry. 

“The song is perfect for them! Kyaa~! Harmony is perfect if combined with love. Kekekeke.” you said while humming with the melody.

 

 

Author's Note: Sorry if this is too long because of the lyrics. But I already want to include them here so that  you will be able to understand why I pick these songs. I hope they all matched together! Kyaaa~! Comments are very much welcome! :)
