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.

 

Doojoon starts his line,
"I never wanted to admit it 
I never thought we would end it like this 
But I gotta say: I still love you"

Gikwang continues,
"Haru jongil mweol haetneunji gi eogi anna 
Ni jeonhwa maneul gidaryeo amu geotdo halsuga eobseo"

I can’t remember what I did that day
I was waiting for your call until I ended up doing nothing
 
It's Hyunseung's part,
"Neomu bogo shipeunde nae nune 
Ajik kkaji ni moseubi seon myeong hande"

I really miss you and in my mind
I can still see the images of you
 
Dongwoon and Doojoon look at each other,
"He eojingeol moreun chingudeuri useumyeo 
Ni soshigeul naege mureo boneunde 
Ibyeoriran mari naegen neomu nat seoreoseo 
Amu mal haji mothaesseo"

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
 
All of us start the refrain,
"Ajigeun ibyeoreul mot baeweoseo 
Ajigeun seupeumeul jal mollaseo 
Ajigeun geudaega nae gyeoteul tteonado"

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
 
Gikwang sings his line,
"Mideo jijiga anha nunmuri heulleo naeriji anha"

I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
 
The rest of us continues the refrain,
"Ajigeun ibyeol norael deureodo 
Seulpeuji anha geojitmal gata"

Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
 
It's my part now,
"Ajigeun geureonde jogeumsshik neukkyeo jyeo
Nunmuri goyeowa ije shijagin gabwa"

But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
and I guess it’s the beginning
 
Junhyung starts his raps,
"Dolligo shipeunde neowa naega utgo itneun picture 
Nae momeul gamssani heojeon hame nunmullo bameul sae, oh sst!
Niga tteona beorin dwi seulpeun sarangi mandeureo beorin 
Falling love spaceship"

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
 
Doojoon starts again,
"Haru jongil ni saenggagi tteona jiranha 
Niga eobtdaneun sashire amu geotdo halsu eobseo na"

You’ve lingered in my mind all day and
You’ve left and I can’t do anything about it
 
Once again Hyunseung sings his part,
"Neoreul japgo shipeunde nan ije 
Neo animyeon dareun sarang halsu eobseo"

Now I want to catch you
But now I can’t love if it’s not you
 
Dongwoon looks at Junhyung who is preparing his part,
"Neoreul bomyeo utdeon ni moseubi geuriweo 
Bogo pado dashin bolsu eobtgetji 
Jalhae juji mothan nae moseubi ma eume geollyeo 
Jakkuman huhwi dwineun de"

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
 
We sing the refrain once again,
"Ajigeun ibyeoreul mot baeweoseo 
Ajigeun seupeumeul jal mollaseo
Ajigeun geudaega nae gyeoteul tteonado"

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
 
It's Gikwang's part again,
"Mideo jijiga anha nunmuri heulleo naeriji anha"

I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
 
We sing in unison again,
"Ajigeun ibyeol norael deureodo 
Seulpeuji anha geojitmal gata"

Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
 
I sing my lines,
"Ajigeun geureonde jogeumsshik neukkyeo jyeo 
Nunmuri goyeowa ije shijagin gabwa"

But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
and I guess it’s the beginning
 
Gikwang closes his eyes and sings,
"Ireohkedo manhi apeul jul mollasseo you never know 
Neowi mameul jogeum deo ppali aratdamyeon, yeah, no, no"

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
 
I closes my eyes to get better focus because it's the hardest part in this song,
"Shigan deureul dwi dollyeo nareul tteonaryeo haneun ni duson nohji anheul tende 
Dashin neol bonaeji anheul tende"

Rewind the time so I could have held you back
And never let you go
 
The last refrain,
"Ajigeun ibyeoreul mot baeweoseo 
Ajigeun seupeumeul jal mollaseo 
Ajigeun geudaega nae gyeoteul tteonado"

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
 
Hyunseung sings his line,
"Mideo jijiga anha nunmuri heulleo naeriji anha"

I still don’t believe it; Tears won’t come out
 
We sing the last part of the refrain,
"Ajigeun ibyeol norael deureodo 
Seulpeuji anha geojitmal gata"

Rather than a sad song, this song sounds like a lie
 
I close my eyes again to sing the last part in this song,
"Ajigeun geureonde jogeumsshik neukkyeo jyeo 
Nunmuri goyeowa naege dashi dorawa"

But I can feel little by little Now my eyes are getting teary
So please come back to me
 
 
[Gikwang's POV]
 
She smiles.
 
She smiles! She is smiling now!
 
Right after Yoseob ended the song.
 
The other members see it too.
 
"You smile! You smile!" Dongwoon looks shocked.
 
"Wow," Junhyung reacts. "It's the first time we see you smile."
 
Just like before, her smile has disappeared after they reacted.
 
"It's a compliment," Doojoon straighten. "Really."
 
"You like it, don't you?" Yoseob stands up a little. "You like it, right?"
 
She nods without a smile now.
 
Junhyung looks at me; he looks guilty.
 
"We like it when you smile, Sora ah," Hyunseung tries to relax the situation. "I hope we can make you smile more often."
 
 
[Sora's POV]
 
It's a beautiful yet sad song.
 
But I like it. I only listened to the song via my iPod, but listening their live performance, even though without music, was totally amazing.
 
They sang it seriously even it's only my request. They did it truthfully.
 
I couldn't hep but smile because of it. Once again, they're surprised by my smile and I turn back my face into the emotionless.
 
"We like it when you smile, Sora ah," Hyunseung says to me. "I hope we can make you smile more often."
 
"Thank you," I say my gratitude. "It's a beautiful song."
 
"That's our first present for you," Gikwang smiles. "Let's say that was our welcoming present for you."

I bow a little.

They are really nice and polite. I'm glad they are.

Chapter 3: Sora's stoic character is really bothering me...she is way too quiet, lol. But it's a nice twist, because I've never read a story with the female character acting so cold and emotionless. I'm guessing she'll warm up to the later on? (-:

Chapter 1: Sora's character is really what I'm up to although I first read this story because of Yoseob. ^.^ ...She seems to be prim and proper and that's what I really like in a leading lady's character...I love your story!
