38 Banmal Song
So Sweet, So Simple
[Sora's POV]
"That was beautifulll~" Dongwoon says out loud. He makes a high five with Junhyung and then sits down.
I'm still standing, trying to control my expression. I'm blushing now; not because of Gikwang. But because of Yoseob.
He held my hand even though only for seconds. Why?
"Glad you like the song," Gikwang smiles to me. I feel really guilty now. I'm sure he doesn't know that my heart is beating faster because of Yoseob now.
"Next song!" Doojoon warns us with Yoseob is sitting next to him. "I guess it's yours, Gikwang."
I turn to see the screen and he smiles.
"Yes, it's mine," he answers.
He takes the microphone and prepares for the song he picked to sing with me, Banmal Song.
[Gikwang's POV]
Banmal Song is a couple song of Yonghwa and Seohyun in We Got Married. The lyrics of this song fits Sora perfectly; she told me that she never had a boyfriend before.
Even though it's only a deal, but it means I'm her first boyfriend, right?
She takes another microphone and I cough a little before I sing the first verse,
"Maenjeoeum neoreul bodeon nal
Sujupgiman hadeon neoui mwareun misodo
Oneuli jinamyeon gakkaweo jilgeoya
Maeil soelleneun gidaereul hae
Moseun mareul geonne bolkka
Eotteohke hamyeon naega useojeulgga
Soneul geonneboda eosaekhaejilggabwa
Meotjjeokeun useumman useobwa"
The day when I first saw you
Your bright smile full of shyness
We’ll get closer after today
Every day, I have heart-fluttering expectations
What to say to you
How to get you to laugh
I fear it’ll get awkward when I try to hold your hand
All I can do is smile shyly
I look at her. She does change since the first time I met her. I remember the first day I met her; she was really quiet and cold. I thought she hated us.
I'm really thankful that we get closer day after day but I'm still blushing whenever she gives me her sweet smile; I really do love her.
We sing the refrain together, syncing our voices,
"Uri seoro banmalhaneun saiga dwegireul
Ajik jogeum seotureugo osaekhandedo
Komawoyo raneun maltu daeshin
Jom deo chinhage mareul hae jullae
Uri seoro banmal haneun saiga dwelgeoya
Hangeol eumssik cheoncheonhi dagawa
Ijen nae dununeul barabomyeo
Mareul hae jullae
Neol saranghae~"
Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other
Even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar
Instead of saying ‘thank you’
Talk to me in a friendlier way
Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other
You walk towards me slowly, step by step
Now look at my two eyes and tell me
I love you
She smiles to me.
She doesn't talk a lot to me; sometimes she is still really formal. I told her to be easy around me because I love her the way she is. I remember she blushed when I said that to her.
I smile back at her, telling her that she can sing the next verse,
"Neowaui soneul jabdeonnal
Simjangi meomjundeuthan gibonneure
Moseunmal haettneunji gieokchoja anna
Manyang seolleneun gibooningeol"
The day when I held your hand
I felt my heart stop beating
I don’t even remember what I said
All I feel is a flutter in my stomach
Those are what I feel whenever she is close enough to me; my heart skips a beat, I can't think of anything, and I feel butterflies in my stomach. I'm feeling that way now, standing next to her with her voice echoing in my head.
We sing the refrain together once again,
"Uri seoro banmalhaneun saiga dwegireul
Ajik jogeum seotureugo osaekhandedo
Komawoyo raneun maltu daeshin
Jom deo chinhage mareul hae jullae
Uri seoro banmal haneun saiga dwelgeoya
Hangeol eumssik cheoncheonhi dagawa
Ijen nae dununeul barabomyeo
Mareul hae jullae
Neol saranghae~"
Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other
Even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar
Instead of saying ‘thank you’
Talk to me in a friendlier way
Hopefully we can speak banmal to each other
You walk towards me slowly, step by step
Now look at my two eyes and tell me
I love you
She never said that she loves me. I want to hear it but the only thing I know now is I only have less than a week to make sure her feeling for me. A month almost pass and I fall in love with her deeper than before.
Does she feel the same?
We hold our microphone, singing the last refrain of the song, looking at each other,
"Uri seoro saranghaneun saiga dwegireul
Jabeun duson yeongwonhi nohji anheulggeoya
Baraboneun neoui nunbitsoge
Haengbokhan misoman ittgil barae
Uri seoro saranghaneun saiga dwelgeoya
Aggyeojugo pyeonhi gidaemyeon dwe
Neoreul boneun naui du nunbichi
Malhago isseo"
Hopefully we can fall in love with each other
I’ll never let go of your two hands from my grasp
The light of your eyes, gazing at me
I hope there will only be joyful smiles
Hopefully we can fall in love with each other
We can lean on one another and take care of each other
Looking into your eyes, my two eyes
They’re talking to you
I don't know why but she stops at the last line but I continue it,
"Neol saranghae"
I love you
Is something wrong?
[Sora's POV]
I stop at the last line of the song. I know this song; it's a really sweet song for the first time couple. Gikwang is my first lover, if I can say so.
His eyes are looking at me with sincere love, showing me that he really loves me. Since my kidnapping incident, I try to get closer to him, hoping I can return his feeling but the more I get closer to him, the more I doubt my own feeling for him.
"Neol saranghae"
He smiles at me and pats my head, "Why did you stop?"
I shake my head. I don't want him to worry about anything, at least not tonight. It's a fun night and I don't want to ruin it.
"You have a wonderful voice," I compliment him while he hands away the microphones to Dongwoon and Hyunseung for the next song.
"Probably because I sing it from my heart," he holds my hand when we're already sit next to each other.
I blush but there is this weird feeling keeps coming in my mind. I smile at Gikwang; what do I expect more from him?
What do I expect when I already have Gikwang who really loves me truly?
