39 My Boo
So Sweet, So Simple
[Yoseob's POV]
"Hey," Doojoon comes to me. Hyunseung, Junhyung, and Dongwoon are singing a trot song while Sora and Gikwang are watching them.
"Ne?" I stop looking at Sora. She looks really cute when she is smiling like right now.
"You haven't pick a song to sing with Sora," he lowers his voice. "Did something happen between you two?"
I frown. Is it that obvious?
"I just don't know what song to pick," I make an excuse. Well, it's true somehow. There are some titles came up but I don't feel to sing them with her, not now.
"Do you want me to pick it for you?" he moves to choose a song. Before I could stop him, he already submitted a song for me to sing.
"You're next with Yoseob, Sora!" he shouts to Sora, making her turns to see him. She gives him a nod, telling Doojoon that she heard him.
"Wait," I stand up and look at the song he picked.
My Boo.
[Sora's POV]
I clap when the song has finished. Dongwoon hands me over the microphone. It's my turn to sing with Yoseob. I thought he wouldn't sing with me. He didn't sing any song other than Beautiful.
He stands up and takes the microphone from Junhyung. He walks to my side and looks away from me; yes, he is avoiding my eyes.
The melodies start.
I know this song.
My Boo by Usher and Alicia Keys.
I'm not really good with this song since Alicia Keys did rapping in this song. This song is sad yet beautiful; as if it's a conversation between two persons who still love each other yet they don't realize it until they've separated.
I take a glance at Gikwang. I don't know why but he nods at me and I feel better after looked at his eyes, as if he is trying to comfort me.
Before I even realized, Yoseob has started his lines,
"There's always that one person that will always have your heart
You'll never see it comin', 'cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see
Ooh baby, oh, you will always be my boo
(You gotta rock away to this one)
I quickly hold the microphone, knowing it's the female part,
"See, I don't know about y'all, but I know about us and
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know about y'all, but I know about us and
It's the only way we know how to rock"
Ah, I messed the lyrics.
[Yoseob's POV]
I can't help myself to smile when I hear her raps. I was trying to avoid her look because I was afraid that I would blush. It totally would make Gikwang notice my reason of acting like this.
But when I hear her ways of rapping to Alicia Keys' part, I smile. She's cute.
I turn my body, looking at her now. I know she is nervous because she messed her part so I try to make her feel better by looking at her eyes directly,
"Do you remember girl, I was the one who gave you your first kiss
'Cause I remember girl I was the one who said put your lips like this
Even before all the fame and people, screamin' your name
Girl, I was there and you were my baby"
She was staring at the floor before but now she looks to my eyes, holding her microphone close to her chest.
I continue the song, still looking to her with a smile,
"It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in your eyes, my boo
Even though we use to argue it's alright, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo"
She sings her part better now,
"I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine, my boo
And when I see you from time to time I still feel like, my boo
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide, my boo
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my boo"
I move my head, following the rythm of the song, enjoying her beautiful voice. I try to get the right feeling into this song, putting myself as if she was my girlfriend.
"Yes, I remember boy, 'cause after we kissed
I could only think about your lips
Yes, I remember boy, the moment I knew you were the one
I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame and people, screamin' your name
I was there and you were my baby"
She looks at me and I smile at her, trying to tell her with my eyes that she's doing good.
"It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in your eyes, my boo
Even though we used to argue it's alright, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo"
Finally I sing the refrain together with her. It feels really good to hear my voice with hers,
"I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine, my boo
And when I see from time to time I still feel like, my boo
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide, my boo
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my boo"
I spin and make a little dance move, making the situation more relaxed,
"Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, my boo
My oh, my oh, my oh, my oh, my boo"
I slide a little to her side, making we closer now. I feel like it's my stage, my only stage with her,
"It started when we were younger you were mine, my boo
Now another brother's taken over but it's still in your eyes, my boo"
She sings along with me,
"Even though we use to argue it's alright, my boo
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo"
The other members clap for us and sing together with us now,
"I don't know bout y'all, but I know about us and
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know bout y'all, but I know about us and
It's the only way we know how to rock"
I smile, satisfied with our duet. She did her best and I love her voice; sure it's not as good as the female singers I know but I love her voice. She flashes me a smile, thanking me for singing with her.
I take a step backward when I notice Gikwang is glaring at me. I bow and say, "It's good."
"I messed up," she shakes her head.
Ah, I want to tell her how cute she is. I want to kiss her hair, touch her cheek, hold her hands, tell her that she is perfect in my eyes.
But I can't.
[Sora's POV]
I take a seat after My Boo has finished. Yoseob is amazing; he has a really angelic voice. On the top of all, he smiled all along the song, as if he's trying to make sure I would be comfortable as his partner for the song.
His angelic voice. His sincere smile. His caring eyes.
What are you thinking, Sora?
He only thinks of me as his little sister; he told me before. He was the one who said that I and Gikwang will be a great couple.
"Let's pick the last song," Hyunseung tells us. "It's almost two hours now."
"Sora, your turn," Junhyung taps my shoulder.
