Smile, YiXing!
A day before their big test in Biology, Tao and IU decided to stay up in the library, just so she could tutor him one last time. Her essay was finished, so was her other homework. She did all these just so she could tutor her dear friend. After an hour of lecture, she gave him a 15-item test, to assess whether Tao did learn something or not. She left her friend answering, as she decided to fetch them some drinks. As she was getting back to the library, she heard her name being called out. Glancing back, she saw Yixing leaning on the doorway, smiling at her.
Approaching she asked, “You called?”
He nodded in reply. “Can you help me?”
“With what?”
“To listen to our new song,” he said, and he handed her the music sheet he just wrote. “Please?” He begged, with his widening smile. IU didn’t know how to answer at first, since she was a little panda waiting for her, but seeing him all dimples and smiles, IU couldn’t help but say yes, as she fell helplessly in his trap. She instantly had a feeling to have defenses against their aegyos.
“Thanks IU,” he said to her politely. “Come seat here,” he instructed her as they settled on the floor, next to each other. Suddenly memories of him and her on school festival came rushing back. Seeing how similar their arrangement was, just like under the big tree before. Her mind quickly flew to her daydreams of that eventful day.
“IU, is something wrong?” He asked, and quickly she got back from reality. She nodded nervously, as she shuffled the papers, pretending that she was reading it, as she was trying to hide her embarrassment. “You sure?”
“Yes,” she mumbled.
“Okay, let’s get started then,” he said, and eventually began playing the guitar.
Girl, I can't explain what I feel.
Oh baby my baby, baby, baby, baby.. yeah.
Making a day feel like a minute
With you, I’m the main character of a movie
As if I’m about to film an action scene to come see you, as if I’ve become a hero
As Yixing was singing the lyrics, IU made herself useful as she read the words of the song. As she had a quick run through, she couldn’t help but feel moved by its sweet words. Though the harmony was sensual, its lyrics was charming. It talked a guy confessing her love for a woman, though at the same time he was saying he was confuse. Other than that, the man in the song was promising to love her and protect her. He was telling her that he’d always make her smile and be there as a friend. He was pursuing her to love him back.
You’re perfect to me, I imagined
How would it be if we were together?
If only you say okay, everything is perfect, oh baby
*I lost my mind, the moment I saw you
Except you, everything get in slow motion
Tell me, if this is love
Sharing and learning countless emotions everyday with you
Fighting, crying and hugging
Tell me, if this is love
Her heart, it was racing so fast as she was hearing him sing this sweet love song. She couldn’t contain her feelings, she was just thinking, one day, she might just combust and come running back to h
