Hi :)

So the parts in italics are the narration of past events... The bond part is the song's lyrics... And every time you see something written in blue (like now) is the author speaking (it's not part of the story).... I think this is all: please enjoy this story

Inspired to: Heaven - F.T. Island

Requested by: Me ^^

The fans scream out our names, they clap, they’re happy… they don’t see the tears that are falling from my eyes. Even if I’ve sang this song a thousand times, I still can’t help but cry. Thanks God this is the last song. We wave with a smile and go in the backstage.

 

« Are you ok? » Jaejin asks me

« Ne I’m fine » I answer

« Should we stop performing this song? » Jong-hoon asks concerned

« Ani, it’s ok, fans love it and I’m getting used to sing it » I answer. That’s true, now I can sing it perfectly even while crying

« We should let you take a break » Min-hwan says

« No he can’t. if he stops he won’t be able to start again » Jaejin says for me, he knows me too well.

« Everyone, stop it now ok? » Seung-hyun suggests. I have to thank him because I hate to think about the past.

« Ne » we all answer.

« We also have an interview before we can go back to the dorm » Joon-hoon remembers to us

 

We head out and go toward the reporters that are waiting for us.

« Hi guys » the main reporter greets us

« Anyeonghaseyo » we greet back

We start talking about this and that, until he asks a question I really don’t expect: « We saw that you cry every time you sing ‘Heaven’ »

I just nod

« Is there a particular reason behind that song? »

« There is » I answer

« And what is it? » the reporter asks

I can’t answer, I never told it to anyone before

« Can we skip this question? » Joon-hoon asks

« Is it a painful memory? »

« Ne it is » Jaejin answers for me

« But do you guys know? » the reporter asks

« Ne we know »

« Can’t you tell us what it is? »

« Please drop this topic » Min-hwan suggests

« But now you’ve made me curious, and I bet the fans are too… »

« Fine. I’ll tell you. But it might take a while, it’s the first time I talk about it » I answer. I have to face what happened.

I close my eyes, letting myself remember all those memories… then I start talking:

 

« A-anyeonghaseyo » she smiled to us « What can I bring you? »

« First of all, don’t be so formal » Jaejin smiled at her « Secondly I want a cup of really hot tea »

« For me too, but not so hot » Min-hwan said

« Me too » Seung-hyun and Joon-hoon said

« Ok, so four tea, one of which really hot » she said smiling a little « And for you? » she asked me smiling more

« Hot chocolate » I answered coming back from my thoughts

« Ok then. I’ll bring them to you soon » she said and left

« Honki, are you still with us? » the leader asked me

« Ne, mianhae » I answered

« Have you seen that waitress? » Min-hwan asked me with a grin

« Of course he did, didn’t you see that he was already dreaming about her? » Jaejin answered teasing me

« Ya! I wasn’t dreaming about her » I  yelled, but suddenly I realized what I did and I blushed

« But she’s cute, isn’t she? » Seung-hyun asked

« Ne » the other members answered

At that moment she came

« Here is the three hot tea » she said given them to us « The really hot tea » she smiled « And chocolate » she said giving it to me.

I smiled at her. And then suddenly I found my thigh burning: she dropped the chocolate on me!

« Mianhae, really, I’m so sorry » she said starting to dry me.

« A-ani, I’ll do it » I stopped her blushing a little, making the other guys laugh

« I’m really sorry, I’ll bring you another cup » she rushed away

« Poor girl » Jaejin laughed « She must have recognized us »

 

A few minutes after, the girl was back

« Here is another cup » she said putting it on the table. « Are you hurt? » she asked me concerned

« Ani, it doesn’t hurt so much » I answered her.

« I’m so stupid, please forgive me » she said looking down

I was about to answer but Jaejin was faster « What’s your name? »

« It’s Haneul » she answered shyly

« Do you know who we are, Haneul? » he asked

« F.T. Island »

« Then you’re forgiven » Jaejin laughed

« Kamsamida » she bowed « If you need anything, just call me » she added leaving

I decided to really look at her. She wasn’t very tall, she was normal, and she was thin. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. She was actually really pretty and the way she blushed were really cute. But the best thing was her smile: so bright and truthful, it could bring happiness everywhere.

« She’s pretty » I murmured

« Oh, finally you noticed » our drummer teased me

 

….That’s how I met her for the first time…

 

« Anyeoghaseyo » Haneul smiled and then blushed a little when she saw that the person was me

« Hi » I smiled « Where can I sit? »

« Anywhere, it’s all empty today » she said showing the empty café

I went to the table of the last time

« Are you alone today? » she asked giving me the menu

« Ne, I came alone today » I answered « Oh, I don’t need this. I want chocolate again » I smiled

« I’ll bring it immediately » Haneul smiled to me.

I kept looking at her while waiting.

« Here » she came putting the cup on the table.

« Oh, I didn’t asked this » I said pointing at a few biscuits

« They’re to repay you for last time » she answered « If you need anything, I’ll be cleaning around » she smiled and was about to leave when I stopped her

« Can you sit here with me for a while? » I asked a little embarrassed

« Oh, ehm, ne » she said surprised and sat in front of me

After a few minutes of awkwardness I finally spoke: « So how old are you? »

« I’m turning 20 in three  months » Haneul answered

« Oh, I’m 20 too »

« I know, I’m four months younger then you » she smiled cutely

« Oh, of course you know it, you’re a fan » I realized stupidly

« Ne, I am, since the beginning »

« Really? Wow » I smiled truthfully « You know, I’ve never talk to a fan like this, it feels good »

« Ehm, then you should do it more often » she said blushing a little.

We were chatting for an hour when she suddenly exclaimed « Omo, it’s so late! I’m sorry I have to leave! » she bowed and run to change.

I was surprised: it’s 8pm, where does she have to go to?

 

…I went there also the day after…

 

« Anye- Oh hi » she smiled as she saw me entering in the café

« Hi » I smiled back, heading to the table where I was the day before

« As usual? » she asked me

« Ne » I smiled sitting at my place

A few minutes after she came: « I should reserve this table for you » she laughed

« There’s no need to » I said

« That’s right, no one takes anyway » she said

« Because they feel that it’s mine » I joked and she laughed

« Haneul! Come here! » I heard someone yelling

« Ne! » she yelled back « Sorry, the boss is calling » she said to me, bowed and left. “Since it’s around 5pm there are more persons here, she’s going to be busy” I thought sadly.

Back to the dorm, that night, Jaejin questioned me « Where are you vanishing at every break? »

« To a place where I can relax » I answered

« Where? »

« You don’t have to know » I answered looking away

« Where?! » he insisted

« At the café… »

« To see Haneul, right? » he asked

« Ne, I like being with her » I finally admitted

« Ah you’re falling » he teased me

« I’m not! » I replied

« Ok, as you say » he answered me « Anyway good night »

« Night »

 

…I kept seeing her like that every day for two weeks, and she always run away at 8pm. And during that period Jaejin sneaked out from the dorm every night. So I got suspicious and decided to follow him…

 

I saw Jaejin getting on the bus and I followed him with my scooter. He stopped in front of an University. I stopped my scooter and waited. A few after I saw students coming out and my friend approached to a girl. “No, it can’t be”

« Again? » she asked surprised but with a smile. “No, no, she can’t be her”

« Ne again. How were today’s lessons, Haneul? » Jaejin asked her

« Not bad » she answered yawning

« Are you tired? » he asked

« A little… you should go back to sleep, really, I don’t want you to get hurt »

« I won’t. Let’s go » he smiled putting an arm on her shoulders.

“That’s definitely too much” I thought and left, not able to watch them anymore. I went back in my bad, but I could sleep at all. “I’m going to tell Joon-hoon” I decided

Next morning I was awaked by someone yelling. I got up and went to the kitchen: there were all the members

« Where are you going every night?! » the leader was yelling at Jaejin. “Seems like he got caught”

« I just like to walk at night » my roommate answered

« Well, you shouldn’t. You’re not sneaking out anymore from now on » Joon-hoon ordered

« But I have to go » Jaejin complained

« Why? Why is it so important? »

« I have to see someone »

« Who is this person? » the leader asked and, when Jaejin didn’t answered, he said « See, it’s not so important. You stay at the dorm »

« But.. » Jaejin started but Min-hwan stopped him: « Joon-hoon is right, unless it’s really important you should stay here. If something bad happens you know that our leader won’t ever forgive himslef »

« Fine » Jaejin surrendered sadly

 

…I didn’t go to the café for four days, and also Jaejin stayed at the dorm. On the fifth day, after practicing the manager decided to treat us for dinner.

But unfortunately he leaded us to That café…

 

« Annyeonghaseyo » Haneul smiled as usual but as she saw it was us she lowed her head and turned it to the left a little.

« Hi » we all greeted

She motioned us to my usual table and left us the menu

A few after she was back with our orders: « Here » she said putting them in front of us « I have to go now, my turn is finshed. Nana will serve you » she said pointing to another girl and left. “Why is she hiding the left side of her face?” I was wondering.

The answer came a little after, when I saw her heading out: her face was purple because of bruises, and so her left shoulder!

At the same moment Jaejin got up and run after her, but he was too slow and the bus where she got on already left.

He rushed back in and yelled at Joon-hoon: « Did you see that? Uh? Did you see her and her bruises?! »

« Calm down boy. Ne I saw them » the leader answered calmly

« They’re because of you, because you didn’t let me go and protect her. It’s all your fault if she got hit again » Jaejin kept yelling.

« What are you saying? » I asked to him confused

« I met her the night after we came here for the first time. She was waiting for the bus but some men started to hit her. I stopped them and went there all the other nights to protect her, even if she said it wasn’t necessary. And that’s what happened while I wasn’t there » Jaejin explained

« Then tonight we’ll go there together or you will get hurt sooner or later » I stated.

 

A few hours later Jaejin and I were waiting for Haneul.

« Hi » she greeted Jaejin and then she saw me « You too? »

« Of course. So I can help him and none of us will be hurt » I explained

« They’re gone now. » she said

« Haneul » Jaejin said

« Ok » she surrendered

 

…. After a month, I started dating her officially. We spent all our free time together, but Jaejin never stopped coming to help after the school. We never saw those men… We were really happy together. One year passed, we promised to be together forever, to never leave each other. But everything was broken two years ago, on that night…

We were at a concert so we could go and protect Haneul. We made her promise to skip school, at least for that day. We just finished our performance when I got a call…

 

« Hi Baby » I answered seeing Haneul’s ID

« Hello » an unknown voice answered « Are you Haneul’s boyfriend? »

« Yes I am, who are you? » I asked worried

« Please come to the hospital, she’s dying »

« What?! » I yelled « Where?! »

I rushed to the hospital with the other members. We stopped in front of the emergency room. There was a woman.

« Are you here for Haneul? » she asked

« Ne, what happened? » I asked

« I’m her neighbor. She went to school as usual tonight. I knew that someone was after her, but I didn’t worry because you and your friend were always there » she said motioning to me and Jaejin « But tonight I heard her screaming. I run outside and I saw some men hitting her. I called the police but as they saw me they run away… She was all covered by blood… The doctors said that she is in critical conditions…  » she was crying

« But she will survive, right? » I asked

« Right?! » Jaejin asked again when she didn’t answered.

At that moment a doctor came out from the emergency room

« Are you all here for the girl? » he asked

« H-how is she? » I asked

He looked away: « I’m sorry, we couldn’t save her. She had some ribs broken, two of them hurt the lungs and one perforated the heart.. We did all we could, but it was too late » he said with a sad face.

« No, no, you’re lying… She can’t be death » I yelled at him.

At that moment a stretcher came out. I run toward it. On it there was Haneul. She was wearing the white dress that I gave her for her birthday.

 

… She looked like an angel when she tried it and she looked like an angel on that stretcher…

 

« We had to take this off her finger but she refused to separate from it, so we had let her hold it. She was holding it tight even after passing out  » a nurse told me giving me a ring. It’s the one I gave her when we promised to never leave each other.

 

-end of the speach-

 

« Oh, sorry for asking » the reporter says

We talk a little more then he let us go.

At the dorm I lay on my bed and think about what I didn’t said to him:

a few nights after her funeral I was laying on the bed thinking of how much I missed her when I suddenly felt dizzy. I closed my eyes and I saw her

« Haneul » I called her

« Oppa, what are you doing? » she asked in a scolding tone

« What do you mean? »

« You have to eat well and sleep well. You must stop thinking about me »

« I can’t help but think about you, why did you go to school? » I asked

« I had to » she answered

« But… »

« Shh » she whispered « I don’t have much time »

Then she took my hands with hers and said « Hongki, I love you more than anyone else and I will protect you forever. Tomorrow, when you wake up, just stop thinking about me and focus on your dream. You’re going to be successful Oppa, and I’ll always be next to you to cheer you up » she kissed my forehead and vanished

 

I think she was right, now I’m successful and every time something went wrong I just had to hold her ring to feel better.
