Summary: I walked out and into the spotlight, that very moment I remembered everything, my past, Sungmin, everyone, everything.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE UNNIE <3
In the past, I travel a lot. From Korea to Paris to New York and to somewhere else. I don’t have anybody to miss, anybody to love. Travelling around the world makes me feel free. Even if I am standing on a foreign land and communication has become a problem, I don’t care. I would just find a coffee house, sit down with a cup of hot coffee and play my games. It never once occurred to me that I would have someone I would fall deeply. Apart from travelling, I’ve always liked singing but never once tried going for an audition.
Ryeowook, my best friend asked me to go for an audition. He wants me to join the same company as him. Ryeowook has a good voice so maybe that’s how he got into the company easily. After much persuasion from him, I finally agreed to the audition. Ryeowook took out time from his schedule to help me on my vocals. Throughout all the lessons we had, never once did I see Ryeowook lost his temper. He was very calm and patient in teaching me. During breaks, Ryeowook would occasionally tell me about his personal life. He said he has a small crush on another celebrity and wants to confess but is scared. He even told me his next album would be released in April or June, and he sung a part to me. I felt I melted at his soft yet powerful voice. Ryeowook has always been my pillar of support. He is always there when I need him.
Few days later I was being dragged to the audition. There were plenty of people there, everybody was well prepared. I felt my legs go numb, my stomach twisting and I almost fall to the ground when I felt Ryeowook small arms around my waist. He used his other free hand to hold my hand tightly. I breathed in and felt the sharp pain in my stomach. I look at Ryeowook; he looked at me as if he could read my mind.
‘You are not leaving this audition.’ He said firmly. I sighed and sat down on the chairs and waited for my turn. The room was really quiet; everybody kept their silence and listened to their music to memorize the song lyrics. I felt my stomach twisted again when my number was called. I nervously went in, looking at the judges sitting there, I took another deep breath. I stood right below the spotlight; I held the microphone tightly in my hand. This was my only chance to get into the same company as Ryeowook. I wasn’t on the list of the people selected to enter the company. Ryeowook took my hand eagerly and smiled brightly before pulling me to a empty room.
The room was quiet, big and white. At a glace through, I saw posters of celebrities of this company. There was a guy sitting on the table. He doesn’t look old. He looked young, very young. Ryeowook loosen his grip and went forward to talk to the person in front. I read the name, Lee Sungmin. I mentally noted his name and his face just so I wouldn’t forget him. I looked into his eyes while he looked into mine. Nobody talked until Ryeowook cleared his throat to introduce us. You looked small, soft, adorable, fragile, and huggable. You came to me and gave me a big hug. I didn’t know what to react but hugged you back.
‘Kyu~ I missed you so much~’ I didn’t know what was he talking about. I gave him a look, the confused look. He read me and understood me easily. He smiled and took out photo albums for me. The pictures were him and... me. But how can it be? I don’t even know a guy named Lee Sungmin. He smiled to me again. I tried to think about my past. I felt my head splitting. I calmed down when I felt his arms around me. He was hugging me tightly, he made me feel loved. However, I still don’t know him. He’s like a familiar stranger.
After days of getting to know Sungmin, I came to know he’s a very different boy. He has a sad past, according to him, he has a lover in the past and that person forgot him due to an accident and that person disappeared forever. I didn’t know why but the story felt familiar yet saddening to me. I took his hand and encouraged him, letting him know that person would soon come back to him. He smiled and buried his head in my stomach. I felt my shirt wet from his tears but I didn’t stop him, I held him closer and soothed him. He was planning for me to become a singer. He wants me to become a singer because his lover wanted to be a singer too. He was on his way to his first stage when the accident happened. Sungmin told me he wants me to be safe and be there for my first stage.
The day that I would have my first stage came really quick, fans were all there. There were screaming. I saw the amount of fans screaming for Ryeowook when he went out for his stage. I saw the banners, balloons, light sticks for him. Nothing felt real to me, everything was like a dream to me. I was admiring Ryeowook when suddenly Sungmin came from behind. He passed me a microphone and said I would be up after Ryeowook’s stage. I nodded and continued to admire Ryeowook. From the corner of my eyes I saw Sungmin holding onto a microphone too. After Ryeowook’s song ended, he went towards Ryeowook and they started singing together. I was very amazed at Sungmin, it was the first time I heard him sing. His voice was melodious and nice. The stage ended even before I know it. Ryeowook came to me and smiled to encourage me. Since I can even survive the audition, why can’t I survive this stage? I walked out and into the spotlight, that very moment I remembered everything, my past, Sungmin, everyone, everything.
