The Love You Need

ONESHOT Compilations

 

[Seohyun's POV]

Wouldn’t it be sweet to sing for the person you loved the most?

I woke up earlier than the usual. To be honest, I wasn’t even able to sleep that much. Today is the day—the day that I am going to sing for the man who held my heart for the longest time.

Today is a very special day. Today, there is no other place to go to but to the church.

The white flowy dress hung on my wall. It was beautiful. It was once just a dream.

I hum to the tune of my favourite song. I was trying to exercise and tone my voice early in the morning. I stayed in the terrace for a while. It was windy. The sun wasn’t shining that bright. Maybe it would not be a perfect sunny day. But that wouldn’t stop making this day special.

It soon started drizzling. I went back inside my room and closed the sliding door. I watched the rain poured down. It was quite heavy. I sighed for it wasn’t a good weather at all. All my emotions stirred when the dark clouds and heavy rain covered the entire town.

Rain is a sad mood.

But again, I had to remind myself to cheer up because someone would be waiting for me later this afternoon.

I sat back down at the edge of my bed. The bed side table held a picture frame of me and the man I loved the most. He was perfect. He was beyond the man of my dreams.

We were friends since high school. He was a good guy. Everybody knows him in the campus. Well both of us were bookworms, the librarian knows us very well. She was a working student, a scholar I must say. Since Kris and I hung out together at the library most of the times, our friendship expanded.

Yoona was pretty. She was very friendly and kind. She was the next most perfect person I had known after Kris. The books from the library connected the three of us well. We were all bookworms. It was the start of our friendship. We were the happy and geeky ones. The entire school knew us because we always brought home the bacon during off-campus quiz bees and such.

Well, we matured.

Through time and four years of high school of being together, I grew nearly lady. Sometimes, I was conscious enough. Sometimes, I had my entire mood swinging to different directions. Sometimes, I fought with Yoona because she was being a kid for bringing me to a toy shop. She wanted all Rilakkuma stuffs. I was glad that Kris comprehended with her childishness at times.

There were times when Kris and I fought too. He started being arrogant. He stopped having time for me and Yoona. His circle of friends grew wider to the basketball team.

But the three of us remained best of friends. All we had were each other.

So at the end of the day, it would always be us, reconciling and laughing at the trivial matters we failed at.

College. We went to the same school. Different courses, yes. Though schedules were too tight and hectic for us to catch up with each other, we still managed to find some time to hang out together—movies, dinner or just hanging around the library. It never gets old.

Maybe we became too busy.

I started meeting Yoona with only me and her eating at a fast food chain or laughing at a hilarious movie. With only Yoona, I got to know her better.

Well, I met up with Kris whenever he was free. It’s just that Yoona wouldn’t be available always. I got to know Kris more. More than ever. More than I knew him of.

He was a man.

He’s not the same grade school geek I used to study with. He’s not the same high school cream of the crop that I used to insult intelligently. The friendship grew deeper. Maybe I became a lady. Maybe, I started hearing the beat of my heart more than letting my brain think. When Kris asked me to go out for dinner during a Valentine’s Day, that was when I started admitting to myself.

I stopped seeing Kris as a friend or a reading buddy. He’s the man I have only loved ever since I haven’t even known love at all. Our hang outs and whereabouts meant more a lot from then on. But those were the same days that I saw how depressed my man was.

I was blinded by the love I felt for him. I did not notice that he was broken deep down inside. He tried hiding it by being affectionate to me. I could have appreciated that. But whatever the reason was, I could not hate him. He meant so much to me.

“Yoona and I broke up.”

Those were the five words that broke my heart as well. Kris was broken. But my heart was a shattered glass. How innocent my heart was? Kris and Yoona hid all these things from me. They were dating all the while. They were together. So when Yoona stopped hanging out with us. That was the time they broke up. Kris had no one. He relied to me. He wanted to find something to cheer him up back to life.  

“You’re important to me. Right now, with Yoona gone, I have no one but you.”

Kris never stopped being sweet to me. We remained friends. I never admitted my feelings towards him. Why? Because I could see the sadness in his eyes no matter how hard he tried hiding it from me. I wanted to be there for him.

My efforts paid off. Trying to bring back his happiness succeeded.

I was startled by a knock on my door. Reminiscing how everything went before this day was interrupted. I opened the door and the person by the door smiled at me, “Time to get you fixed.”

 

I held the mic. My hands were quite shaking. I hope my knees did not show it. I promised Kris to sing a song for this special day. Wouldn’t it be sweet to sing for the man I love right now?

It was the only way to let him feel how I loved him. He stood from afar. His suit fitted him so well. He looked handsome. He was perfect as he always was. He stared back at me. I smiled at him as he smiled back at me.

[Listen: Cater 2 U - TTS]

“Baby I see you working hard
I want to let you know I'm proud
Let you know that I admire what you do
The more if I need to reassure you,

my life would be purposeless without you
If I want it 
When I ask you
You inspire me to be better
You challenge me for the better
Sit back and let me pour out my love letter

I promise you
I'll keep myself up 
Remain the same chick, you fell in love with
I'll keep it tight, I'll keep my figure right
I'll keep my hair fixed, keep rocking the hottest outfits

If it's love you need, to give it is my joy
All I want to do is cater to you

Let me cater to you
Cause baby this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby you blow me away
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert and so much more
Anything you want just let me cater to you
Inspire me from the heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man;
I put my life in your hands
I got your slippers, your dinner
Your dessert and so much more
Anything you want, I want to cater to you

I give my life, my strength, my will to you.

That's the least I can do
Let me cater to you
Through the good
The bad
The ups and downs

I'll still be here for you
Let me cater to you
Cause you're beautiful(you're beautiful)
I love the way you are (you are)
Fulfill your every desire (desire)
Your wish is my command (command)
I want to cater to my man”

My eyes never left his. His eyes were happy now. His eyes showed nothing but appreciation from all the things I have given to him... as a friend. As a hopeless lover.

The small crowd softly applauded. I bowed a little at them and placed the microphone back to its stand. I looked back at Kris and smiled at him. Tears started beaming, but I hope he couldn’t notice it. I looked to his right. And there was his bride smiling at me as well. Yoona and Kris held hands.

They made such a beautiful couple.

That was my favourite song. The only song I wanted to sing to Kris.

It came true. I was able to sing for the man I loved the most.

He just happened to marry the girl he loved the most.

 

Wouldn’t it be sweet to sing a song for the man you loved the most even on his wedding day?

 

[A/N: I am so sad that AFF's acting up lately. I hope it gets fixed soon. *sigh* I posted y, Free & Single Part II: One Dream just before the AFF's server crashed. That's why I really hope AFF gets fixed soon so it will be up again for you guys to be able to read it (for those who missed reading it...) To The Heartbreakers' subs, the next chapter will be posted soon.]

Chapter 47: OMG!!! I'm crying hard in this early morning.
This is so heartbreaking.
How it could change a lot if they declared their loves years ago and not too scared/ afraid to confess it.
Anyway, this is an open ending, right?
Donghae chose to be with Seohyun, right?
