Singing Is Not For Me
When life throws EXO at you, RUN!
| Choi ~~~~~/ Cindy's POV |
It's only the first week and I'm already getting haters. Is this what you get for talking to someone famous?
My locker was again filled with hate letters, telling me to stay away from EXO. They didn't bother me at all, I sometimes actually felt sorry for the people who wrote them since they probably spent a lot of time writing letters that didn't affect the reader.
I threw out the letters one by one into the nearest trash can.
Much better, my neat, clean locker is back.
I shut my locker and took the shortest route to the cafeteria.
No one was around, which was a good sign. No trouble.
I passed by a music room and heard someone playing the guitar.
Wow, the person is playing the piece really well.
I lightly pressed my ear against the door and listened carefully to the chords. I could hear a faint voice singing to the tune.
I could only pick up on some words since the person was very quiet.
I wanna hear more... Maybe I'll sneak in and sneak out afterwards.
I slowly pushed the door open and was blasted with music. I got onto the ground and crawled my way behind a cabinet next to the door.
So far so good.
From where I was sitting I could see a male figure sitting next to a window facing the opposite direction of me.
I moved back out of sight, closed my eyes and swayed to the song.
It's beautiful.
ai yi ge ren
ru he si shou dao lao
zen yang mian dui yi qie
wo bu zhi dao
hui yi guo qu
tong ku de xiang si wang bu liao
wei he ni hai lao
bo dong wo xin tiao
ai ni zen me neng liao
jin ye de ni ying gai ming liao
yuan nan liao qing nan liao.
I didn't realise the song had ended until I felt a shadow looming over me.
Oh fruit darts. I'm caught.
I gradually peeped from under my eyelids to the owner of the shadow.
"Err.. Hi?"
I lowered my head in shame getting ready to get yelled at.
"Hello Cindy."
Huh? Why doesn't this person sound angry?
I lifted my head and saw the face of the window boy.
His black hair made his white complexion shiny. He had high cheekbones which made his face thin and his eyes were alluring.
I shook my thoughts *coughcough* about him out of my head.
"Uhh.. Do you know me?"
"I saw you talking to Kris Hyung few days ago, my names Lay. Nice to finally meet you." He took out his hand for me to shake.
"Finally? So I'm famous now?" I raised my eyebrow.
Lay laughed at me and pulling me up.
"Do how did you like my song?" He asked. "Since you've been sitting there for a while now."
"Your really good! And your voi--" My words got caught in my throat. "Wait a minute." I pointed my finger at him. "How did you know I was here for a while?"
"Thanks for the compliment and there's are thing called reflections." He turned and raised his head towards the window. "Nice ninja crawl by the way, very clever."
So I was found out already? I need to brush up on my skills.
"Ha-ha-ha..." I looked down and the ground. "Sorry for disturbing. I should get going now."
"No wait." He tugged on my sleeve. "Can you stay for a bit? Since you've already heard me sing, can you give me feedback? I feel like I'm not doing great, like I'm lacking in some way."
His eyes looked semi sad.
"I would say yes, but I don't have any experience in that area. I just listen to it, I would probably make you sound worse. Sorry." I played with my fingers, not knowing what else to say.
He face brightened. "But that's what I want. I want someone with less knowledge to tell me. My teachers at the company always tell me the same thing but I never get it right." He pulled at his hair as he complained.
"Are you saying I'm dumb?" I joked.
"A-Aniyo!" He frantically waved his hands around. "That's not what I meant."
His face is so funny!
"Bwahahahahaha!! You thought I was serious!" I clutched onto my stomach.
"Huh?" He looked at me dumbfounded.
Hahaha.... Yesh..
I stood up straight. "I'm sorry. Forgive me?" I gave him puppy eyes that he couldn't resist.
"Your only forgiven if you help me." He bargained.
A trap!?
"Ugh, fine. I'll help you." I pulled out a chair and sat down. "What do I do?"
"Tell me what you think I could improve on. Okay?"
I nodded my head.
Lay went and got his guitar from the sill and sat down next to me. He began playing a song I knew very well.
Nae nuneul bol ttae ttokkachi marhal ttae neol cheongmal anaju-go
Shipeosseo
Na imanhamyeon eottae? ni namjaron eottae? ttan aedeulboda
Neoreurakkyeojul keoya neowah hamkke-hal keoya
Eonjena neohanaman bollae
His voice was stunning. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
I love this song, Monday to Sunday, BTOB.
When the chorus of the song came up, I couldn't stop myself and sang the lyrics.
Sunday, Monday to Sunday! bogo tto bogo shipeo
Monday, Sunday to Monday! jakku tto bogo shipeo
Mae-irachimeul nan neowah nuntteu-go shipeo
Ni-ga isseo komawo Monday to Sunday
I bobbed my head to the melody and started the rap.
Now I think it's time girl oh!
Wol, hwah, su, mok, keum, to nun tteumyeon ni saenggakbu-teo
Ilyoirachime-neun neowah hamkke nuntteo
Uri du-reul seoknneundamyeon hwahnsangye Collabo neol wiihae bureul Bravo
When I finished the rap, Lay sang the bridge and we both ended the chorus together.
An cha-khaedo dwaeh dodohamyeon eottae nae-gen an geurae
Keuraeseo kkok yakso-khae neohanaman jigillae
Eonjena neohanaman bollae
Sunday, Monday to Sunday! bogo tto bogo shipeo
Monday, Sunday to Monday! jakku tto bogo shipeo
Mae-irachimeul nan neowah nuntteu-go shipeo ni-ga isseo komawo
Monday to Sunday.
There was a long pause after we were done.
Cheeseburgers... I wasn't meant to sing. I sounded terrible.
I waited for him to say something.
"When did you learn to sing like that?"
Mwoh? Am I hearing things?
"Excuse me? Come again?" I was confused at what he had asked.
"Your voice sounds really nice, when did you learn to sing? You could join a company with that voice." He smiled at me.
"S-singing... I-I never took lessons. Waeyo?"
"You sounds like you've been singing all your life, you must be a natural."
I snorted at his ridiculous comment. "Stop joking around, I know I sounded really bad." Babo, I'm not singing material.
"You don't believe me?" he raised his brow.
"Duh." I knocked his head.
"Then let's make a bet." He thought for a while. "How about the singing contest coming up next month. I bet that you will be one of the top three."
Singing contest... I'll prove him wrong.
"Sure, but what's in it for me?" I propped my elbows on my knees.
"Hmmmm... I'll be your lunch friend for a month?"
"Deal." I shook his hand and agreed to the terms.
"Wanna go get lunch with me?"
"Kay, kaja." I skipped out the door. "Coming?"
"Don't rush me!"
