Getting to know you

Reconciled concert (repost)
What shocked all of us was the sudden ring of the doorbell…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ran to the door, but Butler Kim was way faster. He opened the door to reveal Appa. I lunged forward and gave him a tight hug. He gripped on my hand, asking me to let go. He coughed a little when I let go. We then entered the house, however, I heard a voice of someone else that I don’t recongise. I turned around to find another man and a girl around my age. I nodded slightly with a smile and both of them did the same.

We headed to the living room and I saw a shocked expression on Jaejoong and Omma’s face. “Everyone, this is Mr. Bae my client and his daughter, Bae Seulgi.” Mr. Bae gave us each a polite nod while Seulgi gave a slight bow. Then Appa continued. “This is Jaebin, my daughter and the one beside her is her boyfriend, Donghae. This is my wife and that is Jaejoong, our neighbour and Jaebin partner for a concert.” All of us gave them a smile as they sat down across Donghae Jaejoong and I.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Jaejoong sshi.” Seulgi said. Her voice was very sweet. It’s like those kind which guys would fall head over heels for. Jaejoong nodded and smiled. “Where’s Yoochun?” Appa asked and I looked at Omma. “He said he’s busy today and won’t come home today but he promised to meet Ms Bae here tomorrow.” Omma explained and Appa was not angry, but calm instead.

“Jaebin, call him back immediately.” I nodded and pulled out my phone with Donghae following behind me. We walked to the dining room which was quiet. “Yoochun ah, come back immediately. Appa wants you back.”

“I’m busy I can’t leave now. I can only return tomorrow.”

“There are guests here. Don’t make Appa flare Yoochun-ah.” I said and Yoochun groaned. It means he agrees, but he’s very unwilling. “It seems like your parents are wanting Yoochun to marry Seulgi.” Donghae said as he leaned on the table. I nodded my head. “I think we’d better go back or the situation would get awkward for Jaejoong.” He held my hand and we returned back to our seats.

“What did yoochun say?” Appa asked as I sat down. “He’ll e back soon. He promised.” I said and Appa nodded. It was quite awkward for the 3 of us to sit here. Omma was talking to Seulgi and Appa talking to Mr. Bae. Jaejoong Donghae and I then excused ourselves out of the house. It was really awkward for us. I never thought it would turn out this way.

“I’ll go home now. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” He waved and walked home. “Let’s wait for Oppa before going somewhere else.” Donghae nodded and then we went to sit at the swing waiting for Yoochun to come back. I had my head on his shoulder and it was quite a cold night. Donghae then took off his blazer and draped it round my shoulders, keeping my warm. I wrapped my hands around his waist so he wouldn’t feel cold either.

After around 15 minutes, a car parked in front of our house. I could tell who it is. It was definitely Yoochun. He slammed the door so hard that the glass could break instantly. He marched up the steps to see the both of us. His face was so black that you would rather go to hell. He was rarely like this. “Oppa, Don’t make Appa angry.” I said and he rolled his eyes. Closing the door, slamming it, announcing to the whole world he’s home and he’s angry.

End of Jaebin’s POV

Yoochun’s POV

I slammed the door behind me and headed to the living room. Everyone’s eyes were on me. I scanned the room and found the girl that I had expected to be there. It was Bae Seulgi. The girl who has been crushing on me since Elementary school and the girl I had a crush on since High school. I bowed slightly before sitting on the seat opposite Mr. Bae and Seulgi.

Seulgi looked at me with the same look ever since elementary school. I gave her a slight smile and she blushed looking down. “Seems like they’re getting along well.” Appa said I heard it clearly. “We didn’t speak and you call that well?” I spat and Appa is starting to fume.

“Then bring her out and get to know each other more.” Appa said and I sat there not moving. Seulgi on the other hand stood up and came to my side. “Yoochun sshi, let’s go. Don’t make your father angry anymore.” It was that sweet voice that I have been hearing and have been missing since University ended.

I flung her hand away and stood up, letting her trail behind me as I walked out of the house into the car. She stood at the door, not moving. I rolled down the window and looked at her in the eye for the first time in the night. “Are you getting in or not?” I said and she opened the door lightly and sat down. She seems to be very afraid so her movements are very slow. I leaned towards her and pulled on her safety belt before driving off. “I don’t want your father to be coming to me when you die because you didn’t put on the safety belt.” I said.

“I’m sorry.” She said softly and I just sigh. Why am I so mean to her. I know I like her and all, but I cannot bring myself to confess or show her that I too like her. I drove to the nearest shopping mall. It’s a place where every girl would like and would enjoy. I parked my car and from the start, she has been trailing behind me. She’s not walking beside me, but behind me.

I don’t even know what to do now. At least if we’re walking side by side, maybe we can start talking a bit. But with her trailing behind me, I feel awkward about it. Suddenly, I heard her speak, but not to me. I turned around to see a few guys surround her.

“Hey pretty, want to hang out together?”

“Let’s go have some fun”

“Let me go.” She said.

“Why? Aren’t we good enough to play with you?”

“Why are you bullying this girl here?” I asked and the both of them looked at me, smirking. “It’s none of your business Go away.” He said. I know of the best reason to make him back off. “It’s my business because she’s my girlfriend. You wouldn’t want to mess with me.” I said and pulled her hand so that she would come to me. She hid behind me once she know she’s safe.

“What the hell. I’ll let you off this time but don’t let me see you again.” The 2 guys said and walked off. “Let’s see who would be sorry next time.” I said causing one of the guys to look back at me. When they were out of sight, I turned out to see Seulgi sobbing silently. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” I said pulling her into a hug. She gripped tightly on my shirt and sobbed harder. “Come on let’s go.” I said and brought her back to the car park.

I opened the door for her and she got in before I closed it, jogging to the other side of the car. I got a blanket from the back seat and covered her with it. She smiled weakly and kept quiet, looking out of the window. I thought of what to do since I was partly blamed for this to happen. I then remembered what Junsu told me once. ‘Seulgi loves Hot chocolate from Starbuck. She could forgive you if you buy her a cup of it.’ I smiled and drove to the nearest one. I stopped the car a distant away from it.

“Wait for me for a moment.” I got out and walked towards it, buying 2 cups before returning. I gave her hers and her eyes widened, looking at me. “This…” She said and I just smiled. I Sipped it and it really tasted nice. I have never drank it before as I was so into their coffee rather.

She took a sip of it and smiled. “Thank you.” She said and I just gave her a small smile. We sat there for some time. After finishing the drink, she seems to be feeling much better. “I’m sorry for what happened just now.” I said as I continued driving. “I’m fine. It’s just A little scary.” She smiled at me again. I pulled out something from my pocket. I handed it to Seulgi.

“What’s this?” She asked and from her voice, I can hear she’s quite shock. “Open it.” I said and she did. “This…” She stopped mid way, not knowing how to continue. “Is for you.” I continued her sentence in my point of view. I stopped the car at the park near my house. “Come out.” I said and she did. I leaned against the car while she walked towards the lake. I think she’s too shocked to face me for the moment. She had both her hand clutching onto the box I gave her. It was a bracelet I asked Donghae to help me with. When I heard about the meeting we’re suppose to have tomorrow, I asked Donghae to design something special for me.

When we’re still studying, I have always realize that she will always wear something on her wrist. Junsu asked her about it before. ‘I’ll feel empty with nothing on.’ Was her answer. That’s why I asked Donghae to design a special bracelet for her. It’s the only one in the world. She had her back facing me. I walked closer and closer to her before wrapping my arms around her waist, with my chin on her shoulder. She jerked a bit, but when she realized who it was, she relaxed. “I’m sorry.” I said yet again. She remained quiet, perhaps waiting for me to explain. “I’m sorry for treating you so cold. I’m sorry for being such a coward. I’m sorry to not say I love you.” She turned around with her eyes wide. She blinked a few times before coming back to reality. “What did you just say?” She asked shocked.

“I love you.” I said and leaned forward before we engaged in a passionate kiss where both of us have been waiting for since long ago…

End of Yoochun’s POV

Jaebin’s POV

Yoochun really startled both Donghae and I. “He’s really angry” I said and Donghae held my hand and we began taking a stroll. We stopped at the Ice cream parlor near my house. “Let’s have ice cream.” Donghae suggested and I nodded my head. He got a chocolate ice cream and cookies and cream. I looked at him surprised. “Why didn’t you get yourself something you like?” He likes Vanilla, but he didn’t get it, “There’s vanilla here so it’s alright.” He smiled and we started eating as we walked out of the store. He fed me some of his and so did I. We finally reached the park which both of us know its where we’re headed.

We sat on the bench overlooking the lake. It was very quiet at this time of night. “It’s so nice out here.” I said and Donghae agreed. He pulled out something from his pocket. It’s a hair pin. “Oppa.” I said and he smiled. “Didn’t you say you wanted something like that from me?” he said and I smiled, taking it from him. It was something simple that is bought from the streets stalls. Donghae always gives me expensive presents. I have always wanted something simple and cheap from road side stalls.

“At least I know you like my gifts.” He smiled and I looked at him puzzled. “Gifts?” I asked and he nodded, looking down. I looked down and got what he meant. I was wearing the pair of grey shoes he gave me. “I really love it.” I said and he smiled. He then leaned closer and touched my hair. “I’ll put it on for you.” I smiled and agreed. He clipped it on for me and I rested my head on his shoulder with his arms around mine. We stayed like this for a while before I noticed something. “Oppa, Isn’t that Yoochun?” I said and Donghae sat up looking at where I was pointing. He squinted a little before opening his eyes wide. “That’s Yoochun.” He exclaimed quite loudly.

“Who’s that girl?” I asked finding the dress she was wearing quite familiar. I scanned my memory but I just can’t remember where I’ve seen it. “Her dress looks familiar.” Donghae said as if he was able to read my mind. “I know. But I just can’t remember where I’d seen it.” I said. The both of us sat there in silence thinking of who’s that mysterious girl which stole my brother’s heart.

“It’s SEULGI!” Both of us exclaimed. No wonder both of us had seen the dress before. We just saw it a few moments ago. “Yoochun liked Seulgi all along?” Donghae asked and I myself was also shocked. He seems to dread her more of liking her. From his tone at home and on the phone, it seems like he’s more than unwilling to meet her. Don’t tell me What Jaejoong said was right. Yoochun liked Seulgi ever since so long ago. No wonder he always pushes away dates from models and when I ask him about girls, he would always tell me to focus on myself.

Yoochun is so getting it from me later when we get home. “A penny of your thoughts?” Donghae spoke up, snapping me awake of my thoughts. “It’s nothing Just thinking about what Jaejoong said about Yoochun.” I shrugged and Donghae creased his eyebrows. “What did he say?” He asked.

“He said that before he left for Vienna, He and Yoochun are friends. They’re all Kingkas and They all happen to suspect that Yoochun likes Seulgi, but it turns out they were wrong but now it seems like they’re right.”I said and Donghae immediately smiles and I gave him a weird look. “What’s with the smile?” I asked.

“Now I know why Yoochun wanted that bracelet.” Donghae smiled and leaned back on the bench. “Bracelet?” I asked and he nodded, closing his eyes. Trying to get some rest. I didn’t question him anymore knowing he would be tired. I just s my arms around his waist while resting my head on his shoulder, enjoying the cooling breeze hitting our face.

The next moment, I felt so light all of a sudden. It was like I was flying. I opened my eyes to see Donghae carrying me bridal style. He didn’t seem to notice I was awake till we were about three quarters way home. “How long have you been awake?” He said and I yawned. “Not too long ago. “ I said and he stopped. I was about to get down when he held on me firmly. “I’ll not let you go.” He smiled and pretended to want to drop me and I wrapped my arms around his neck so I won’t fall. Natural reflex. He laughed and I tighten my hold and he choked before I loosen it again. “You’re killing your boyfriend.” He said and I smiled. He carried me all the way home. We saw Yoochun’s car parked outside the house and both of us smiled. Yoochun is so going to get it.

The door opened and I got down. “What happened?” Omma exclaimed, running towards me. Both Donghae and I just looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Nothing happened.” I said and Omma just kept checking my body up and down. “How can you be fine when Donghae carried you back?” She said and both Donghae and I looked at each other and laugh. “Auntie, She’s really fine. I insisted on carrying her back for fun.” He smiled and Omma heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear.”

We then realised everyone is looking at us. Everyone includes Appa, Yoochun, Seulgi, Mr Bae. We gave them an awkward smile and everyone laughed together. All of us then bid Seulgi and Mr Bae good bye. Apparently Yoochun is still acting with everyone excluding Donghae and I that he hates Seulgi to the core.

Donghae and I could only laugh within ourselves since Yoochun wants to play, we’ll play along with him. When Seulgi and Mr Bae left, everyone went in and Donghae and I headed to my room. “You should really eat more.” He said and I gave him a weird look. “You speak as if I don’t eat at all.” I said and laughed. “When I carried you just now, It’s like I’m carrying my Laptop bag. You’re that light.” He said sounding a little mad. “When other ballerinas see me eat, they think I’m crazy. We ballerina’s are not suppose to eat a lot but apparently I don’t care.” I said and sat on my bed, swinging my legs.

“It’s just... It pains me to see you so skinny. It pains me to see you so frail at time. I sometimes feel so useless.” He said with his head down. “Oppa, You’re always protecting me, being by my side. You’re not useless. To me even if you’re just by my side, you’re doing more that needed.” I said, placing my hand on his cheek. He placed a kiss on my forehead before I snuggled closer to him. “Promise me that we’ll never be apart.” I said and he looked down to see my face. “Promise.” I smiled and wrapped my arms round his waist yet again to enjoy our time together.

Then there was a knock on the door. We sat up and I gave the order for the person to come in. How great was it? It’s Yoochun. “You have really nice timing there Yoochun.” I said and rolled my eyes. However, he was beaming from head to toe. Donghae and I looked at each other, speaking with our eyes and both of us got the message what we’re telling each other.

“Hyung, Why are you so happy?” Donghae asked and Yoochun just stayed there quietly, smiling like crazy. “Yoochun, if you don’t speak, then why are you here for?” I asked and Yoochun snapped out of his ‘world’. He cleared his throat before speaking. “Thank you for the bracelet Hae.” Yoochun smiled yet again, but this time his normal charming smile.

“You’re acting really weird today Yoochun.” I said and he just shrug. “Never mind. Enjoy your time alone. And don’t do anything naughty.” Yoochun smirked before leaving the room. What was he up to seriously? Maybe he’s dating Seulgi already that’s why he’s so happy.

“Oppa, It’s already 11pm. Don’t you want to go home?” I asked. He shook his head. “I’ll stay here for the night. Auntie won’t mind.” He smiled and lay down on the bed. “So comfortable.” He said and closed his eyes, covering them with his arm. “Ya!” I exclaimed. If he’s going to sleep here, what am I going to do? I was about to get up when he pulled me back, causing me to land lying down on the bed. He smiled and I gulped my saliva. This doesn’t look good. “Both of us will stay here today.” He smiled and I widen my eyes. “What?” He just continued smiling while I was struggling to get up. “I need to tell Omma you’re sleeping here today or she’ll think otherwise.” I said and he let go. I ran out of my room and heard a chuckle from behind me and Obviously I know who it came from.

I got downstairs looking for omma. I found her sitting in the living room watching television. “Omma, Donghae is sleeping over today.” I said and she nodded her head before I went back upstairs to my room. I place my hand on the door knob for a few second before going in. He was snuggled under the covers, fast asleep.

I walked towards him to find him fake sleeping. I shook him “Ya! Lee Donghae. Take a shower before you sleep.” I said, hauling him off the bed. He opened his eyes and smiled. “I still can’t fool you.” He got off going to Yoochun’s room to borrow some clothes. I went into the toilet to brush up before heading to read my book for a while.

After around 15 minutes, Donghae came back with a towel around his neck in Yoochun’s clothes. He’s ruffling his hair before sitting on the other side of my bed. He was about to lie down when I stopped him. “Don’t you dare.” He was puzzled about what I was talking about. I closed my book and pushed him up. “Don’t you dare lie down with your hair wet.” I said and he sat down properly giving me a puzzled look. “It will spoil your health and your hair so don’t.” I then returned to reading my book.

After an hour, I decide that it’s enough of reading and found Donghae with his hand on the table fast asleep. I was thinking if I should wake him up when he stirred on his own. “Oh. You’re done?” He said and I nodded he smiled and stretched. “Go and sleep on the bed you’ll feel more comfortable.” I said and he nodded, going under the covers and fall asleep straight away.

I was debating with myself what am I going to do when Donghae rubbed his eyes. He was awake again. “Don’t have to worry I won’t do anything to you.” He said and extended one of his hand. I reach out my hand slowly He took it and I lay down beside him. He pulled me close to him so that he’ll give me warmth. It was a really unforgettable day.

End of Jaebin’s POV

Jaejoong’s POV

When I got home, I leaned again the door and slide down to the floor. I gripped on my heart which was hurting like hell. I stood up slowly and wobbled my way to the kitchen trying to get a cup of water. I felt better after drinking it. I sat in front of the piano, trying to play the pain away. Piano is the best remedy for me no matter what.

After around an hour or so of intense piano practising, the door bell rang which snapped me awake from the piano world. I opened the door to see a girl with a suitcase. I couldn’t see her face as she was looking down with her hood over her head. I stood there for a while before she looked up and I got a shock. “Taeyeon” I exclaimed. She’s my cousin. She gave me and hug before trotting her way into my house. She sat on the sofa and took in deep breathes.

“How do you know I live here?” I asked her and she smiled. “Ahjumma told me.” She smiled and it got silent again. “What’s with the luggage bag?” I asked yet again then she smiled and I know what that means. I sigh and brought it upstairs and place it in the guest room which I knew would come in handy. “Oppa, I miss Junsu Oppa.” She said suddenly and I smiled. She has been crushing on Junsu since forever. Junsu likes her as well, but the both of them are too shy to confess.

I pulled out my phone and scroll for the number I’m looking for and I found it. I dialled the number and pulled the phone to my ear and waited for the person to pick up. “Yoboseyo.” He said and I smiled.

“It’s me Jaejoong. Let’s have dinner tomorrow.” I said and he squealed like usual. “Sure.” I had to pull my phone away from my ears for a few seconds before I felt that it was safe to place it back against my ear. “Tomorrow at the restaurant we always go.” The both of us hung up. Taeyeon apparently was nowhere to be found. I then heard the running of water so I assumed she was either bathing or washing up.

I went back to my room and lay on my bed, listening to some music. After around an hour or so, I felt a bounce on my bed and I turned to see Taeyeon looking at me with her horribly big eyes, giving me a shock of my life. “Oppa, I’m hungry.” She said and all I could d was smile and ruffle her hair before heading down stairs making her something light to eat. For girls, I know they care a lot about their figure, so I just made her Salad.

She came down moments later and jumped with joy. It was her favourite Potato salad and she always loved my cooking. She stayed with me in Vienna for a few years since she’s also a student there. Her parents then moved there due to some personal reasons so she moved back with them. “Taeyeon ah, why are you back in Korea? Aren’t your parents in Vienna?” I asked

“They asked me to come back. Saying that They’d be back after, asking me to live with you for the mean time.” She said looking at me and I just smiled. I like her very much. She’s very adorable and very lively. Having her to stay with me will brighten my mood every day. When she’s done, we talked about life the past few years and I heard her Violin skills are so good that even teachers in Vienna can’t stop praising her.

She Majors in both Violin and Singing. She’s known in school to have a very strong and nice voice. I remember that in school, I had to protect her from crazy guys who are always flocking her way. She’s not very tall and believe me, she’s one of the most sought for girl in school. She has like presents everyday and different guys asking to date her every day. School life was quite hectic for her.

“Let’s go out for Dinner tomorrow.” I said and she smiled. “Oh and I have something from morning till around 6pm. Are you fine to be alone at home?” I asked her and she puffed her cheeks. “Can I tag along?” She asked and I thought for a second. “If you won’t find practise for my debut concert boring then you can come along.” She smiled and clapped her hands before we head up for bed. I was really tired. It seems like I never felts so tired in my life when It has something to do with Piano.

The next day, Taeyeon went to practise with me. She could communicate well with Jaebin from the start they were not awkward at all. It seems like Taeyeon’s also interested in joining the concert. Since the concert’s programme booklet is not out yet, I called Dongho to add Taeyeon in for the last song. Taeyeon say she only want to perform for one song. Taeyeon didn’t seem bored for the entire day so maybe she can come here with me every day or she might feel bored staying home alone for the whole day.

It seems like she could talk with Auntie and uncle well and they kind of liked her. When we got home, Taeyeon immediately went to shower. “Wear something nice ok?” I said before she headed to shower and she nodded her head. I actually didn’t have to tell her since she always wore nice things out. She’s someone who doesn’t like to under dress but she tends to over dress at times.

We were ready by 7pm. Junsu’s meeting us, to be exact me, at 7.30pm. I drove there and we made it on time. Actually this dinner is to Surprise both Taeyeon and Junsu. They haven’t seen each other in at least 5 years? Junsu always e mails me asking me about Taeyeon and Taeyeon does the same. They will be a very cute couple together.

“We have a reservation under Kim.” They waitress then led us to a table. Apparently Junsu’s not here yet. “Oppa, Why are there 3 seats when there’s only the 2 of us?” She asked with her head to the side. I just smiled. “You’ll see.” She then puffed her cheeks yet again, waiting for the surprise that she would never expect.

“Sorry I’m late Hyung.” Junsu smiled and his eyes got wider and wider by the second when she saw Taeyeon. “Annyeong, Taeyeon sshi.” Junsu bowed slightly and I can tell he’s blushing. He took the seat beside Taeyeon which I deliberately left for him. “It’s now time to bond.” I said. Taeyeon and Junsu are both very outgoing and lively. But when they’re together, they become so silent that you’ll never get used to it. Always when I’m together with the both of them, I will feel so weird with the way they’re acting.

“May I take your orders?” The waiter suddenly asked, giving all of us a shock. “I’ll like a steak with black pepper sauce medium rare and change the potato to salad. I would also like a bowl of potato salad for this lady here.” Junsu said and Taeyeon blushed. Always Junsu would order for Taeyeon. No matter how awkward they are, Junsu would order it for her. “I would like a grilled dory fish with lemon sauce along with a bowl of minestrone soup.” Junsu then ordered his himself. “I would have a Grilled salmon and Cesar salad.” I said before the waiter taking his leave.

“Junsu, you’re still the same as ever.” I said and he looked down, blushing deeper than he was...
