05 First Present
So Sweet, So Simple
[Sora's POV]
We're done with the lunch and the manager tells them to go back to the van. They need to attend a TV studio tonight for a variety show. All of us sit exactly the same like before. I wear my seatbelt and look outside again.
"Sora," I turn to face Dongwoon. "Let's chat. Let's get along better."
I look at him silently. He is still smiling, waiting for my respond. The rest of the members are looking at me as well.
"Yes?" I respond.
"Good," Hyunseung says from his seat. "I want to ask first!"
"Hey, I talked to her first," Dongwoon feels unfair.
Hyunseung ignores him, "When is your birthday, Sora ah?"
"Why?" I ask him. I don't tell people my birthday unintentionally.
"You never call our name. I thought maybe because you're older than us. Well, we don't know whether you're younger or older than us. We can't find your profile on internet that included your birthday," he explains.
I never shared my birthday, especially on internet. I don't think it's necessary. Well, it's not something secret though.
"I was born on 1991," I answer. "December 2nd."
"Woohoo~" all of them react.
"You're the youngest here!" Doojoon says. "You're six months younger than Dongwoon."
"Hello, 1991 friend!" Dongwoon grins.
[Gikwang's POV]
She's a year younger than me.
December 2nd, eh?
"Do you have any siblings, Sora?" Dongwoon asks her. Ah, an interesting question.
"An older sister," she answers.
"What does she like? Is she a photographer too?" Junhyung asks.
"She is a human resource development manager," she tells us. She looks at our manager without a word.
"What is your favorite food?" Yoseob is the one who asking now.
She doesn't answer it quickly, "Nothing special."
"Anything," Dongwoon is curious. "Chocolate? Ice cream? Noodle?"
"Chocolate," she answers immediately. "Milk chocolate."
I blurt out my question, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Wow, Gikwang is making a move!" Hyunseung teases me.
"Shh, I just asked something. Don't tell me you don't want to know," I laugh.
We are waiting for her answer.
[Yoseob's POV]
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Gikwang asks.
"Wow, Gikwang is making a move!" Hyunseung teases him.
Well, I want to know that too, but I'm not planning to ask it in all of a sudden.
"Shh, I just asked something. Don't tell me you don't want to know too," Gikwang laughs.
I straighten my body so I can look at her face.
"No," she answers.
I was wondering if she has a boyfriend, isn't her boyfriend distracted by her cold attitude?
Now that she said she doesn't have one, it's kind of fulfilling my wonder.
"Now you may ask us back, Sora," Doojoon tells her.
[Sora's POV]
Why did he ask that private question? I don't have a boyfriend. I never had one. But then again it's not like he knew about me. They don't know me at all.
"Now you may ask us back, Sora," Doojoon says.
I don't want to ask anything. I don't have any interests to ask them but I know it will be rude if I just ignore them so I answer, "Can I ask you to sing a song?"
"Eh?" Gikwang sounds surprised by my request.
"I always listen to your songs in my iPod," I say.
"You listen to us!" Hyunseung looks happy. "What a surprise."
"I listen to BEAST since the first mini album," I explain. It's true.
"Sure, we'll sing for you," Yoseob grins. "I'm the main vocalist!"
"Hey," Gikwang cuts in, "I'm the main dancer!"
"But she wants to listen we sing," Yoseob sticks out his tongue.
"And I'm the main rapper," Junhyung adds in and we laugh together.
"What is your favorite song?" Doojoon asks me.
[Yoseob's POV]
"What is your favorite song?" Doojoon asks her.
"A lot," she says. "I prefer ballad."
"Ballad, eh?" Dongwoon acts as if he is thinking hard.
"What about Oasis?" Hyunseung gives a title. "We always use it when we ask a fan to come up on the stage."
"Ajigeun (Yet)," she says. "I like that song."
I exchange look with Gikwang who is sitting in front of me. He shrugs and smiles, "Sure. We'll sing for you."
"It's been a while since the last time we performed this song," Doojoon coughs a little.
I still remember the lyrics perfectly. All of us take a deep breath and I count to start. Sora is turning her body a little so she can look at us. Our manager takes a peek once in a while because he is driving us back to our apartment.
I can’t remember what I did that day
I was waiting for your call until I ended up doing nothing
I really miss you and in my mind
I can still see the images of you
Friends who don’t know we’ve broken up
Still smile and ask how we’re doing
The word “farewell” is still unfamiliar
So I can’t say anything about it
I still haven’t learn to say goodbye
I still don’t know how sadness feels like
I still don’t get the fact that you left my side
I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
and I guess it’s the beginning
I want to go back, when you and I are laughing in this picture
The loneliness wrapped around my body and I spend the night in tears, Oh sst!
After you’ve left, the sad love has built Falling love spaceship
You’ve lingered in my mind all day and
You’ve left and I can’t do anything about it
Now I want to catch you
But now I can’t love if it’s not you
I miss when I would look at you and you would smile back
No matter how I try we probably can’t be together
The fact I wasn’t a decent man lingers on my mind
and I keep regretting that
I still haven’t learn to say goodbye
I still don’t know how sadness feels like
I still don’t get the fact that you left my side
I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
and I guess it’s the beginning
Never knew it would hurt this much, yeah, you never know
If I knew what your words meant earlier, then it’s a no, no
Rewind the time so I could have held you back
And never let you go
I still haven’t learn to say goodbye
I still don’t know how sadness feels like
I still don’t get the fact that you left my side
I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
So please come back to me
I bow a little.
They are really nice and polite. I'm glad they are.
