Song Drabbles "Eyes On Me" Part A
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
Hangeng prepared for the next song in his concert. He’s very excited with the concert. Everything went well from the beginning. He didn’t want to disappoint the audience out there. He will give his best until the end. One of the staff came and told him to prepare.
Hangeng followed the staff. The staff pointed a platform that will take Hangeng out to the stage from below the stage. Hangeng wiped the sweat on his face and nod, sign that he’s ready. Other staff handed him an umbrella. He took the umbrella and smiled. He’s going to perform “Holding An Umbrella”.
He examined the umbrella. He particularly asked for red umbrella because this umbrella had a lots of memories about someone. Someone very special to his heart. Someone he always missed and loved.
He held the umbrella up to his head. Slowly, the platform took Hangeng up to the stage. Audience went crazy when Hangeng appeared. Hangeng started to sing. Audience started sing along with him. While singing, Hangeng can’t help to think about something else.
“Heechul, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?”
Next morning, Heechul browsed the internet using his laptop. He browsed about Hangeng’s concert. He managed to find a fansite, consists of Hangeng’s pictures. He looked at the pictures one by one. “You looks great, Geng!” said Heechul. Then he saw Hangeng held an umbrella. Heechul chuckled.
“So he still remembered my famous red umbrella, huh?” said Heechul. He browsed another pictures with umbrella. His smile grew wider as he understood the hidden message.
“Yes, my Chinese Prince. I always miss you all the time.”
He saved one of the pictures to his laptop, and started to do some work of the picture. After a while, Heechul finished his work, satisfied with his work. He set the picture as his wallpaper. An edited picture of Hangeng and Heechul holding an umbrella.

I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
Sungmin is a pianist in J’adore Restaurant for almost a year. He played the piano beautifully. All customer of J’adore Restaurant always anticipate his performance. When Sungmin finished his performance, loud applause comes from the customers.
It’s another night of Sungmin’s performance. When he walked to his grand piano, whole restaurant gave him an applaused. Sungmin bowed as he reached his place. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes. Right before he started, his eyes catch an image of a man, sat on the bar. His heart suddenly beat faster.
This man is unique. He came before Sungmin played, and straightly left the restaurant after Sungmin finished play the piano. It started around 3 months ago and always the same. This night is not exceptional, too. Sungmin took a deep breath, and his fingers started to play. Whole restaurant fell into deep silence.
Tonight is different for Sungmin. He dedicated this song to his unique guest. He never had a chance to talk to him. Sungmin hoped that his music can sent his feeling to this mysterious man. So tonight Sungmin can finally talk to him.
When Sungmin ended his performance, whole restaurant explode into loud cheering and applause. Sungmin bowed to his audience and walk off the stage to the bar. He disappointed when he notice that his mysterious guest already left. He sighed and sat on the bar stool. He asked a dry martini to bartender.
As he sipped to his drink, someone poked his shoulder. Sungmin turn around, and found familiar face. It’s his mysterious guest! The different is now the guest held a pink bunny doll. Sungmin stared his guest.
“I hope you don’t mind I give you this doll. But I heard from your colleagues that you like pink bunny doll. So, here’s for you,” said the guest. Sungmin accepted the doll and stared back to his guest. “Thank you,” said Sungmin. He felt his cheek burning.
“My name is Kyuhyun. I admire your piano skills. Everytime I came to watch you play, I realized I fell in love with your performance,” said the man named Kyuhyun. Sungmin blushed harder. He already heard lots of compliment, but compliment from Kyuhyun made his heart beat faster. He doesn’t know what to do. He didn’t know this man. But somehow he felt comfortable with Kyuhyun.
“And then I realized, I fell in love with the pianist himself. So do you want to go on a date with me?” asked Kyuhyun with smile. Sungmin can only nod happily.
“I would love to,” said Sungmin brightly.

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
Kangin decided to spent his last days before he enter the military with fellow member. He already drank with Heechul. Boxing with Sungmin. Go to the gym with Siwon. Ate every food made by Ryeowook. Played Starcraft with Kyuhyun and lost. Practiced “No Other” moves with Eunhyuk. Go to the aquarium with Donghae. Sing silly songs with Yesung. Joke around with Shindong. He even went shopping with Zhou Mi and helped Henry study.
Kangin managed to contact Hangeng in China and Kibum in filming location. Quite emotional when he talked with Hangeng. At first, they teased each other, Kangin enter the military and Hangeng upcoming concert. But the conversation ended with tear as Hangeng said sorry can’t be a good hyung to Kangin, supported him during hard times. “It’s alright Hankyung-hyung. Having your bless from across the sea, it’s enough for me,” said Kangin with shaky voice. They both cried on the phone for 5 minutes before they said goodbye.
With Kibum also emotional one. ”I’m sorry, Kangin-hyung. I couldn’t be there to accompany you. I’m… totally sorry,” said Kibum. To Kangin surprise, he heard Kibum cried. “Kibum-ah, don’t cry. I only leave for 2 years. We can meet again after I finished my service,” said Kangin, tried to hold his tears. “I promise, hyung. After you finished the service, we will go out and drink together,” said Kibum. Kangin can only nod through the phone, afraid that if he spoke another word he will cry.
On July 4th, Kangin wanted to spend his final night with Leeteuk. That’s why he asked Donghae to sleep with Eunhyuk. Leeteuk and Kangin spent their time talked about their activities. They lay on Leeteuk’s bed, held each other close. After hours of talking, they looked at each other without words.
“Teukie-hyung, this is my last night with you,” said Kangin finally. Leeteuk sighed. The words he hated so much finally spoken out. Kangin took Leeteuk’s hand and placed it on his chest. “But it doesn’t mean my love to you ended tonight. This heart still beating for you,” said Kangin softly. Leeteuk didn’t say anything. His heart felt lots of pain. But he knew that this day will come to all Super Junior members. His tears started to fell.
“Hyung, don’t cry. I'm not gonna leave you. Ever!” said Kangin. Leeteuk can only nod while wiped his tears. Kangin smiled and kissed Leeteuk’s eyes, like he tried to stop the tears. Slowly he got up and took his iPOD. “Since tomorrow I will go to military, I want to tell you all my feelings toward you. And I think this song fits me enough,” said Kangin while put earphone to Leeteuk’s ear. Kangin turned on his iPOD.
Leeteuk gasped when he heard the song. He looked up to Kangin, hands cover his mouth. Kangin just smiled, looking at his angel. “Everytime you missed me, just listen to this song, okay? I will play this song in my head when I miss you so much,” Kangin said while he pulled Leeteuk to his arm and hug him tightly. Leeteuk closed his eyes, listening to the song and felt Kangin’s heartbeat. The heartbeat and music really sync to his feeling.
Oh oh only for you. Oh oh only for you…

I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mind on you?
The last period just ended. Ryeowook packed his things as fast as he can and ran out of the class. He went to library. The last period finished late because of some fussy from his teacher that made his class stayed five minutes in class. He just prayed, hope that person hasn’t leave library yet.
When he arrived at the library, he went to his favourite spot. It’s the reading booth in the corner. From this booth, he can see the entire library without being notice, especially by that person who sat across him on the sofa. His senior in school, Kim Jongwoon.
Ryeowook admires Jongwoon for a long time. Jongwoon was known to the entire school as a good singer. He won several national singing competition and even once perform in front of President. That's why everybody in the school called him "Yesung".
Ryeowook started opened his book and worked on his homework. While doing this, he took a quick glance towards Yesung. The said person still reading. Ryeowook smiled and drowned to his work.
After a while, Ryeowook took a glance, but he disappointed. Yesung wasn’t there. He already left without Ryeowook knowing. Ryeowook put his pen and stared blankly to Yesung’s empty spot. He sighed.
”So it is you.”
Ryeowook turned around and saw Yesung stood behind him, smiling. “Excuse me?” asked Ryeowook. Yesung chuckled a bit. He took a seat beside Ryeowook and looked straight to his eyes. “I said, so it is you. The one who always stared at me. You don’t think I didn’t notice at all, right?” said Yesung. Suddenly, Ryeowook felt his cheek burned. “Well, I just… I don’t…” Ryeowook stuttered.
Yesung cupped Ryeowook’s face, made the younger boy to stopped talking. Yesung stared directly to Ryeowook’s eyes. “I always felt that someone watched me from the corner. It took me a whole month to discover who is that person. It turns out you, Kim Ryeowook,” said Yesung. “How do you know my name?” said the surprised Ryeowook. “I secretly caught you looked at me. I asked to the librarian and he told me your name. He also said that you loves to sing,” said Yesung. He pulled his hand from Ryeowook’s face. “Since that day, I looked for any information about you. It’s nice we have the same interest.”
Ryeowook blinked rapidly. “Are you mad that I… stalked you?” he asked carefully. Yesung smiled. “At first, yes. But I thought, there’s always the first time for everything,” said Yesung. “What do you mean?” Ryeowook asked again. “I’m offering you a chance to look at me any time you want. Not from the corner of library, but beside me. How about that?” said Yesung again. “Why?” Ryeowook asked and didn’t believe what he just heard.
Yesung shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe I just get used to be your object of attention,” he said in cheerful tone. Ryeowook blushed so hard and made Yesung smiled. Ryeowook never thought that his dream is finally came true.

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Eunhyuk just finished his dance practice when Donghae came to the practice room. “Eunhyuk-ah, I will wait for you in front of the building,” said Donghae. “Okay. I’ll take a shower first,” answered Eunhyuk. Donghae waved his hand and walked out the door. Eunhyuk gathered his things and bag, switched off the light and closed the door.
Eunhyuk went to the shower room. It took 15 minutes for him to shower. After he finished, he ran to the lobby. He didn’t want to made Donghae wait any longer. He reached the door and he suddenly stopped. He saw Donghae, held his phone and stood in front of the building. Eunhyuk knew it.
Donghae missed his father so much. Since he died, Donghae became vulnerable. He was known as a cry-baby but he cried a lot after his father funeral. He missed the old man and Eunhyuk knew it. Donghae tried to be strong in front of the member.
Donghae kept a picture of his father in his cellphone. When he thought there's no one around, he will secretly looked at the picture, just to ease the pain in his heart. No one knew, except Eunhyuk.
When Eunhyuk first time saw that scene, he was about to slap Donghae's back when he realized that Donghae cried while stared to his phone. Eunhyuk knew that Donghae looked at his father's picture because he once saw the pictures. So Eunhyuk gave Donghae time to remember his father. Like what he did today.
After a while, Donghae rubbed his eyes like he tried to get rid of tears. It's Eunhyuk's sign. He took a few steps back, took a deep breath and called, "Donghae! Are you still there?"
"Yes! What took you so long?" answered Donghae. Now Donghae was standing right in front of the door waiting for Eunhyuk. His expression was happy, like he never cried like Eunhyuk saw earlier. Eunhyuk smiled. "Sorry. My stomach growl," said Eunhyuk grinned. "Ewwhh! Let's go home and don't you dare touch me!" said Donghae started to ran.
"Yah! I already washed my hand!" said Eunhyuk laughing and started to chase Donghae. Both of them ran with happy feeling until they reached the dorm.
