{ Chapter Four }
Our way to school was filled with silence. Dong Hae’s finger laces with mine as he placed his head on my shoulder. I tried not to say a word. It is a little bit uncomfortable for us to walk, not that I’m complaining anyway. I want- need to indulge this moment.
His soft hair was brushing gently against my neck, it gave me this ticklish feeling but somehow; it’s comforting. He then suddenly tightens our hold, and he rarely does that. Well, lately he did. I glanced at him but could barely see his face since it was hidden behind his hair. So I decided to reply his hold and just hummed his favorite song.
The loneliness of nights alone,
The search for strength to carry on,
[note// starting from here are your past life]
I still remembered the time when I first reach Seoul. I felt like I was on a thread, I have no one to hold on to. When I get off the train, I stood there in front of the KMX door; staring blankly to peoples that were pacing back and fro from where to where, I don’t have any interest about it. I let my hands slide down to my sling bag, my fingers tapped lightly against the fabric, deliberate movements as if I were playing a violin. Ah, when was the last time I actually caressed those long thin lines of string?
My every hope has seemed to die,
My eyes had no more tears to cry,
I jerked off from the station as the guard blow his whistle like there’s no tomorrow. I jogged out from the massive train station, out from seas of humans. I sat down on the bench near bushes of flower with a can of fruit juice I brought from hometown. I hummed beneath my breath; the memory of music conquered my mind. I could hear the notes clearly now, as the paced picked up, my fingers began tapping out the rhythm of a song I held dearly to my heart. There were words to this music, a song I composed so carefully.
My thin lips parted with a quiver. The lyrics were spilling out on their own now, words that longed to be sung, but my voice cracked. I started coughing and gasping for air with small breaths, tears stung in the corners of my eyes; I couldn’t sing anymore.
Then like the sun shining up above,
You surrounded me with your endless love,
And then I met Dong Hae.
[note// end]
I realize now that we had reached the front gate. Dong Hae lifted his head up, and I noticed that my uniform are wet on the shoulder. He stopped abruptly and then swing around, facing me. I could see that his eyes were red and puffy. He then cupped my cheeks and smiled.
“You sang well,”
He said gracefully and run off to join Eun Hyuk and Sung Min who had waited for him in front of the school gate.
“Gee, I swore I’ll never ever sing again!”
Not that I can sing beautifully after all. Every time I did, my throat hurts like hell and my voice will start to cracks. And then it’ll rains.
Then, I felt a soft knock on my shoulder. I spin around and saw Vic’s shining smile with her totally fucked up eyes; I mean, hey, she’s Chinese and her eyes homaigawd her eyes, almost unseen! But she’s really is cute. Everyone, meet Victoria- She is very flexible.
And she talks to things.
Her brows rose as she heard a horn sound behind her. I pecked between her shoulders and saw a very fine man with brownish mop hair coming out from the elegant black Mercedes. And oh God, he is so goddamn tall! Hella tall is you ask Hee Chul. And then came out this very -hella- pretty girl. She got this long wavy brownish hair. She does look a bit older, probably a senior.
The door closes and- hokay they’re walking towards us.
