Song: Can I Be Him? James Arthur
Tay held his guitar while facing New, Off and Gun. They're at Off's apartment and the three asked Tay to sing them a song.
"Come on Peng"
"I can sing any song right?" Tay asked and his friends immediately nodded.
Tay started strumming his guitar and they looked at Tay intently.
"You walked into the room
And now my heart's been stolen
You took me back in time
To when I was unbroken"
He looked at Newwie as he started singing.
'This song really reminds me of him, of us and of our situation.' Tay thought.
If New didn't meet her, is there a chance of him loving Tay?
"Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
Cause a light came on
When I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again"
Gun leaned in to Off's shoulder and Off immediately wrapped his arm around Gun. This made Tay smile, at least his friends are not suffering like him.
"I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
I know you never saw me
When the lights came on
And I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?"
He looked at Newwie as he sang the last line.
Off and Gun smiled sadly at Tay when they heard the last line, they understood what Tay is trying to say.
" I heard there was someone
But I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine
I'd never let anyone one hurt you, no no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all I've been thinking about
Cause a light came on
When I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again"
New looked at Tay like he's the most amazing person he knows, and it made Tay hoped just a little bit more, that maybe, maybe New will love him back.
But he never will.
"I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights came on
And I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?"
Tay's eyes never left Newwie's.
"Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Can I be the one?
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again?
Oh when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?"
Tay looked at Newwie intently, it's as if he's asking him and he's searching for the answer at Newwie's eyes.
"I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on
and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?"
Tay finished his song with a last strum and no one said a word after that.
"Tay that was amazing" Gun spoke first
"You really think so? Thanks" Tay smiled shyly
"Tay, that song, you're singing it for someone right?" Newwie's asked
Tay just simply nodded.
"For who?" New asked again, curiosity in his voice
"For you, love" Tay thought and that's what he really wants to answer.
"It's a secret Hin"
But it's better to keep it as a secret.
"Can I be him? More like can I be her" Off looked at Tay teasingly.
Tay kicked Off's legs and told him to shut up.
"Can I be her? Huh? Are you inlove with someone Tay?"
"Huh? I'm not, right Gun?" Tay looked at Gun with pleading eyes.
"Of course he's not. Haha" Gun laughed nervously.
"You should've never done that" Gun whispered to Off's ears and he pinched his legs.
"Ouch! Alright I'm sorry" Off whispered back
"Tay"
Tay smiled upon hearing New's voice and how he pronounced Tay's name. He never changed the way he pronounce Tay's name.
And Tay hope they will never change too.
