To The Stars And Back (Completed)

43: Awards Night

“Wambyeokhae!” (Perfect!) he offered me a cold frappucino. Mukha namang bayad na kaya tinanggap 'ko.

I just bowed my head to him and didn't say anything. Today's a bad day. I shouldn't celebrate anything.. mamayang gabi na ang MAMA awards, pero hindi na ako excited doon. I sat on a couch samantala siya ay sa swivel niya naupo. He played the song again, he closed his eyes at inangat ng kaonti ang kanang kamay, as if may invisible piano sa harap niya na sumasabay sa beat.

After he takes a sip of his drink, he opens his eyes. “Your voice is perfect for this song! I can listen to it all day!”

Isasandal 'ko sana braso 'ko sa sandalan ng couch nang mapangiwi ako sa sakit ng braso 'ko sa kaliwa. Right. May pilay nga pala ako. Yesterday, Mr. Seo was so furious and i don't know why. Alam 'ko lang ay wala akong kinalaman doon. We're on our way to my next schedule which is the guesting for Minji's show. I just surprised her there. He accidentally pulled my left arm with full force at hindi 'ko alam bakit siya sumakit pero simula no'n ay hindi 'ko magalaw ng maayos ang braso 'ko.

I told Mr. Seo about it, pero ang tingin niya lang ay nag iinarte ako. That i was overreacting with what he did, kesyo hindi naman malakas ang pag kakahatak niya sa akin. I can't even fold my arm properly.

Inalis niya pagkakapatong ng kanan niyang hita sa kaliwa at tumuon ng kaonti sa harap, “Are you okay?”

“Uh.. ne,” (Yes) ngumiti ako sa kaniya. “By the way, this will be a mini album, right?” he nodded. “Is it okay if.. i compose a song pero kasi hindi po ako magaling mag tono. But, is it okay kung idagdag niyo po siya doon?”

His expression changed and looked really interested to what i suggested. Tumango tango siya at parang may iniisip na agad tungkol doon. “I like that one! Do you want to use it as your pre release single? That would be great! Just send me the lyrics and the rest is up to me.”

Mas lumawak ang ngiti 'ko at nag bow uli sa kaniya, “Thank you!”

I've been thinking of writing a song for my members. Although, wala pa ako naiisip na ilalagay doon. Ah, bahala na! Nasa kalahati na ang iniinom 'ko nang may kumatok sa pinto. It slowly opened hanggang sa bumungad ang ulo ni Rain. Napaayos agad ako ng upo at napangiti na makita siya dito.

“Eonni!”

Her eyes widened pagkarinig sa tawag 'ko. Nang tingnan niya ako, her lips parted. I don't know if it's just me, but her facial expression suddenly changed. “Wae yeogi isseo?” (Why are you here?)

“Ah, kkampagetta!” (Ah, i almost forgot!) tumayo ako at tinuro sa kaniya producer 'ko. “He wrote me songs for my new mini album. Surprise sana, e, kaso nandito ka na agad. What brings you here?”

She shifted her gaze to the producer. Her eyes looks enraged but her lips is telling the opposite. She's pursing her lips while staring at him. Suddenly, the atmosphere felt different around the corners of the room.

“Eonni.. wae neo do yeogi isseosoyo?” (Why are you here too?) i asked, again.

Palapit na ako sa kaniya when she stormed off. Mabilis akong sumunod sa kaniya. I left the room without saying anything at pilit maabutan siya.
