Chapter 8

 

Shin Hye's POV

 

I my laptop and signed into my MSN. I searched for that guy's name.

 

Me : Yah!

 

After sending it, I stared blankly at the screen, waiting for his reply. I sighed. Will he reply to my message? I scared him a bit last time, after all...

 

JYH : I'm here

 

I blinked. Once. Twice. 

 

He replied? Never did I thought that he would actually have guts to reply. I thought he would be scared even only to chat to me? Maybe I was wrong?

 

Yong Hwa's POV

 

I let out a heavy sigh when I saw her message. 

 

She called me? But why?

 

Me : I'm here

 

I was nervous of what reply she'll give me. I'm afraid too...

 

PSH : You have skype?

Me : Why?

PSH : Just give it to me, if you have

 

Skype? For what? DId she miss me? Did she miss seeing my face?

 

Shin Hye's POV

 

Soon after he gave me his skype username, logged into mine and added him to my contact. And I gave him a video call. It didn't take him too long to answer. But he seemed surprised to see me. Well... Why would he be? Was he expecting Seo Hyun?

 

"Oh... Hello there..." He started.

 

"About the album..." I said, "I think I can help you in composing."

 

"Sorry?"

 

"Are you deaf?" I replied.

 

"Huh?"

 

"Yah! Don't you understand human language? I don't get it how can there be someone as stupid as you are!" I scolded.

 

He bit his lower lip, and replied, "So... You'd like to help me composing?"

 

"If you want to do it yourself, it's fine..."

 

"No, no!" He said, "Of course I'd be happy if you'll compose too!"

 

"Umm... Actually I've tried doing some..." I said, shyly. Why? Why am I being shy? Is there any reason to be?

 

"Really? Can I listen to it?" He said enthusiastically. 

 

I grabbed my guitar and the music sheet. And so, I played the song and sang a bit.

 

Geurae useobwa haengbogi oge

Geurae useobwa sarangdo nae pume angige

Jeo haneul byeolcheoreom manheun kkumdeuldo

Yes, smile so happiness will comeYes, smile so the love can come into my embraceEven all the dreams like the stars in the sky

When tears form in my eyesWhen tears flow on my cheeksCry out loudly- the sadness will be shocked and run away

When my heart is crumblingWhen my heart is so in painLaugh loudly- so hope can come find me ]

 

 

I put my guitar aside and discovered that that fool had been staring me all this time. 

 

"What?" I asked.

 

"Huh?"

 

"Why are you looking at me in such way?"

 

Instead of answering, he giggled, showing me his unique toothy grin.

 

"You're amazing, Park Shin Hye..." He replied. And I blushed. What? DId I just say blush? Am I blushing? Did I really blush? Why would I blush?

 

"Ah... I think I should show you my new composition too... SInce you showed me yours..." He said.

 

Ah, luckily he didn't notice my reaction earlier.

 

"So, please listen to mine," said he, "It's called Banmal Song. I haven't finished it yet, so I'll just show you the one that I have done, alright?"

 

He started tuning his guitar and sang along.

 

uri seoro banmal haneun sa iga dwe gireulajik jogeum seotureugo eosaek hande dogomawo yo raneun maltu daeshinjomdeo chinhage mareul hae jullae

uri seoro banmal haneun sa iga dwel geoyahangeol eumsshik cheoncheonhi dagawaijen nae dununeul bara bomyeo mareul hae jullaeneol saranghae

 

Translation

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each otherEven though it’s still awkward and unfamiliarInstead of saying ‘thank you’Talk to me in a friendlier way

Hopefully we can speak banmal to each otherYou walk towards me slowly, step by stepNow look at my two eyes and tell meI love you

Yong Hwa's POV

 

I finished my song and saw her staring at me blankly. 

 

Why?

She didn't like the song?

 

"Yah... Jung Yong Hwa..." She started.

 

"What?"

 

"It was great..." She said with a gentle smile.

 

I blushed. 

 

I was just so happy to be praised by her. This gentle side of her just made me melt. She's a totally different person than the Shin Hye I know.

 

"Th... Thanks..." I said, "and um.... I'd like to ask something..."

 

"What?"

 

"Can we... Can we.... Can we be friends?"
