We were quarrelling about what classes we should attend today. This should sound ridiculous since we could attend any class we’d like to without consulting the other, but we make it a habit that we should go wherever the other one goes or in this case, attend the class where the other one attend to.

I guess you’re wondering why we’re in a deciding phase.

Well ,since today is Friday, it means that it’s Performing Arts (PA) Day.

You see, once a day, and I’m quite referring to Fridays or PA Day, students are given the freedom to choose the classes they want to attend to as long as it is related in the field of performing or art.

Students coming from any section or year can attend one class, that’s what we call total freedom~

*bump bump* [A/N: Sorry for the lame sound effects. (^_^)v]

Well, since we’re walking the our way through the hallway and at the same time quarrelling with one another, not really paying that much attention to where we’re walking, it’s not a far-fetched situation that we won’t bump into someone.

“Mianhae. Jeongmal mianhae.”, I said while bowing my head.

“You’re being too formal with me again, Jess.”, a very familiar voice spoke, which made me straighten up as soon as I heard the voice.

“Omo! Heechul oppa!”, I shouted in excitement and involuntarily hugged him.

“Hahaha. Before you ask me any question, I’ll answer them first. *whispers to me* you know, so that I’d look cool.”

“Why am I here? I’m here because of you. What do I mean? I just wanted to see you. Why? Because I missed you. Can you hug me again? Sure you could.”

Then I hugged him again while smiling, the most genuine smile I have ever had.

*cough cough*

Oh. I forgot I was with the girls. Hahaha. Got carried away because of the situation.

“Hahaha. Sorry. Let me introduce you to each other. Girls, this is Heechul oppa. Heechul oppa these are my girls Tiffany, Taeyeon, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Seohyun and Sooyoung.”

They bowed to each other and before anyone could ask anything, I spoke.

“*faces the girls* If you’re going to ask me who he is to me, I’ll explain that to you later. For now, we have to make a decision. Which class? *faces oppa* Oppa, are you planning to stay here any longer? I mean, are you going anywhere else besides here?”

The girls were still deliberating at to what class, so I entertained oppa first.

“Well, no place in mind for the mean time. You still have class, right?”, I nodded in response.

“I’ll just come back next time then. Oh. Can you give me your number so that I can contact you? We can hangout when you’re schedule is free.”

He handed me his phone and I just typed in my number and handed it back to him. I felt my heard my phone ring and saw an unregistered number calling. I guess this is his number, so I saved it.

He gave me one last hug before bidding goodbye.

“Jessie, we decided we attend dance class today. We think we need some exercise.”, Tiffany said.

When we turned to the different direction where the studio was located, we also saw the guys looking at us. They look like they were already standing there for quite some time now.

I looked at Donghae-ssi and smiled at him because ever since he saved me, I had this comfortable feeling towards him. But he didn’t smile back at me, he turned his back on me.

Oh-kay. What was that for? Psh. Maybe he has his period. Hahaha.

The boys fastened their pace to catch up to their friend, so we were left there. We didn’t rush, we just walked slowly, like we usually do until we reached the door if the studio.

We weren’t surprised to see Eunhyuk there, but we were surprised to also see the other guys there. Because I heard and observed that dancing... is not really their “thing”.

As expected, Hyoyeon and Eunhyuk were the ones in front. And the two Casanovas, who seemed to have just lost their way to the room, just charmed the teacher to get away with the dancing.

All throughout the class, I felt this strange feeling like there’s someone looking at me. But everytime I try to search for some pair of eyes eyeing me in the room, I see none. Maybe I’ve just gone paranoid or something.

The dance class ended and we’re given a one hour break. We headed to the cafeteria to buy some refreshments and have something to eat.

Well, I kind of half-expected this, the boys joining us for our break again. Since they already were with us in our class and all.

The girls and I just settled down our bags and were about to leave the table to go buy when the boys told us to don’t worry about it anymore because..

“They’ll just come to us.”, said Siwon, with a wink that seemed to have been intended for a certain individual.

But we refused their offer. We’re never fond of taking advantage of other people’s admiration towards us. Accepting the things they give us oftentimes makes us feel bad. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate it, but accepting them is like taking advantage and it makes us sick.

After the break and making the final decision as to what class we should attend next, we headed to the recording room.

We decided that we take vocal lessons next so that we can warm up our throat and practice our vocals as well.

The recording room was one big room because this was really made to fit a large number of people. They said that it’s because girl groups and boy groups are the new trend, and having this room can help the future groups practice.

And in this class, no one can take the spotlight from my dear friend, Tiffany.

She was asked to sing a English song in front of the class that was comprised of mostly younger students.

“Jessie, what song should I sing?”, she approached me first to consult what song she should sing.

Hmmm. What song would fir her voice? Well, any would fit, but what’s the perfect song?

“Uhuh! You should sing Rolling in the Deep!”, I said ecstatically.

“Nice suggestion, Jessie! Okay, Rolling in the Deep it is!”, she stood up with her killer eyesmile. ( ^ _ ^ )

She started singing and her voice silenced everyone. Then.. there’s this imaginary spotlight that focused on her. It seemed pretty hard to not look at her, now that’s the power of my best friend’s voice. ( ^ . ~ )

As soon as she reached the high note, everyone gasped in amazement and seemed to have stopped breathing and blinking.

She was done singing, and not one sound can be heard inside the room. She suddenly looked so down and disappointed because no one was cheering her.

But I was counting inside my head. Here it comes.. 3..... 2... 1...

“Kyaaaah!!!” “Wooooow!!” “You’re voice is so amazing!!” “I envy you so much!!”

And BOOM! goes everyone’s reaction. There was this loud roar of applause echoing inside the rooms walls. Even the teacher was amazed because of her voice. She just gave them her infamous eyesmile and blushed her way beside me.

“Now students, that’s what you should follow. There’s emotion in singing, there’s power.. there’s.. passion. That’s what you call singing. Internalizing the song and owning it. Great job, Tiffany, as what I expected from you.”

She then continued explaining the importance of understanding and internalizing the song to the quality of the vocals of one person while singing. She said that if you don’t internalize and feel the emotion, you’ll end up lecturing the whole song.

“Ms. Hwang, would it be alright if I ask you to sing up in front again?”

“I’d love to, Mam, but I think we should give others some chance to show their talent.”, she’s rejecting this.. OMO. I feel something bad about this.

And by the looks of this, I mean by the looks of her, she’s trying to turn me  into a victim of forced singing.

“Ooh. Ms. Jung, I know you’re also fluent in English. Mind singing a song for us today?”

“Actually, I--”

“She doesn’t mind.”, Fany cut me off.

I do mind. Ugh. Now I have to sing. ( > . < )

Well, might as well channel out my negative emotions through a song.

As I stood up, the girls and the guys were cheering for me, even the other students inside the room. Aiigoo~ I have to make Tiffany pay for this later.

Someday, you're gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
But then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I can't

I know
You don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long
Won't take long

The first few lyrics tore its way through my skin and to my heart, making me feel the excruciating pain I have experienced lately.

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday

But now
I know you can't tell
I'm down and I'm not doing well
But one day these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry
Sweet goodbye

I closed my eyes, not to internalize and make myself feel the song, but to stop my tears from escaping my eyes. Internalizing it would be like stabbing my chest and ripping my eyelids, it would make my heart hurt and set free my suppressed tears.

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place wo oh oh
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday,

I know someone's gonna be there
Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
someday, someday
oh yeah yeah

I finished the song, though I might say it wasn’t easy. I waited for the right moment to open my eyes, making sure no tear can get exposed. But unfortunately, one drop of the liquid produced by my tear ducts got out.

I just stared at everyone at the room. They didn’t have any reaction, no smile, no frown.. no breathing?

[A/N: I’m just plugging our Black Pearl Yuri’s movie, No Breathing. She’s with Lee Jongguk and Seo In Guk. Watch it!]

Then..

*shout shout shout!* *shout shout shout!*

They were like crazy chimpanzees. They’re reactions were really epic, and I really appreciate it. I went back beside Tiffany and they welcomed me with a group hug. The girls were squeezing me with their hug and at the same time, showering me with their concerned question and praises.

Then Hyoyeon raised her phone and shouted,
 

“I RECORDED IT! AND I’M GOING TO MAKE ROMEO HEAR THIS!”

------------------------------------------------

sorry if this is a bit short. I just got feels for writing this morning, so I starte typing, but the intense heat deactivated my fruitful mind.

WHO IS HEECHUL IN JESSIE'S LIFE? Hmmm. Can you guess?

and

WHO IS ROMEO? Maybe Juliet's star-crossed lover? Or maybe Jessie's lover? Oooh. This is going great! ^O^
