~~~~~ CHANGWON HIGH: SENIOR TALENT SHOW ~~~~~

I'm so nervous. Today is my first time singing in front of the entire school. I know I have a serious case of stage fright... but I have to do this. I have to let Hakyeon know.. My heart hurts just thinking about what had happened.

I saw him in front of his house with another girl on our one year anniversary. My box of handmade chocolates dropped to the ground and spilled everywhere. How long had he bee seeing this girl? How could he do this to me, to us? Should I tell him that I know and break up with him? My mind was so confused and my heart... broken.

Every minute that passes is a minute closer to my performance. I nervously bow to all my sunbaes who performed before me and they offer words of support and encouragement. Now I'm next, ottokae?

I walk onstage after the MC announced my name and saw everyone's eyes on me like hawks eyeing their prey. I see HIS eyes on me, and they're rounded in shock. I look to the music DJ and he nods for me to start. Here goes nothing. 

Baby you can say goodbye

I look straight into his eyes. His friends Jaehwan and Sanghyuk nudge him. I wonder what he is thinking.

Tell me what you want, I am not afraid
Look into my eyes and tell me so

I want you to say it directly to my face. Don't go sneaking around behind my back. Just tell me.

Don’t try to hide, no need to lie
I just wanna know, why you gotta go

Am I not smart enough? Am I not pretty enough? Why did you cheat on me?

(I Know), I guess you got another girl
(I Know), your love for me has faded away
(You know) Still you can’t seem to let me go

Why? Just make a clean cut. If you want to be with me then be loyal, if you want to be with her then break up with me. Don't make this hard for everyone by wanting everything.

Baby you can say goodbye
Turn away just walk away

I feel tears threatening to come out but I try my best to hold them back.

Baby you can let me go
Cause being with me hurts me more

Just let me go. I can't stand seeing you cheating on me.

All the love you gave me, you can take it back
All your love… just take it back

Take it back. If you don't truly love me, then please take everything back. I don't want it.

I am not gonna shed another tear, just gonna let you go

Then, my best friend Dongwoo walks onstage to sing the rap portion. I'm grateful that he's wiling to do this for me.

Yo, Sorry my sweety
Nal ddeonagandaneun ne ipsuli

Hakyeon stared at me the entire time. Do you know how I feel now?

Oneulddara wae iri weonmangseureoweo boineunji
Neol butjabayahaneunde
Mali naojil anha neon imi meoleojineunde

I send Dongwoo a small smile as he smoothly danced off stage. Bringing the mic up to my lips, I prepare to start singing again.

(I Know) Our memories will fade away

Eventually... eventually they will.

(I Know) You won’t even look my way

Because you'll look at her, an she's all that matters.

(You Know) Deep down inside, I’m holding on

I can't help it. I know this is the end of us, but I can't let go.

Baby you can say goodbye
Turn away, just walk away

My emotions get the best of me and tears freely run down my face. I put my heart and soul into singing the rest of this song.

Baby you can let me go
Cause being with me hurts me more
All the love you gave me, you can take it back
All your love… just take it back
I am not gonna shed another tear, just gonna let you go.

Not being the shy girl anymore, I firmly stare straight into his eyes.

(You) don’t forget about our love

It was beautiful, so please don't forget about it.

(You) the one and only I had was you

You were the only one in my heart.

Every reason for my life was you, my baby

You were my everything. Everything I did revolved around you.

(Why) did you make me believe you

You cruel, heartless person.

(Why) don’t you even deny it

Do you think my heart is made of steel? Do you think I wont be hurt?

Falling apart…. what should I do
This is all that’s left of me

I didn't care what everyone thinks of me anymore. I was at the verge of throwing away all my pride. I was ready to beg for him to stay.

Baby please don’t say goodbye

Don't. Please don't. I don't want this to end.

Tell me that it’s all a dream

When I wake up, you'll still be here. You'll still love me. Our love will still exist.

Baby please don’t let me go
Loving you was everything

My life will be nothing if this ends.

Hoping you’d remember all the time we shared
There’s just nothing to compare
I am not gonna shed another tear, just gotta let you go

At this point, I've made up my mind. I'll do it. I'll let you go. I'll back off so you can live better.

Oh oh oh oh oh
I’m not gonna cry no more
Oh oh oh oh oh
No no no no
Oh oh oh oh oh
Baby I’ll just say goodbye

So I guess this is it. This is my goodbye gift to you. Goodbye... Cha Hakyeon.
