[Sung Hyo's POV]
Where could Mi Nyu be? It feels like I've walked a thousand miles trying to look for her. Wait... This car looks familiar. I wonder why... Oh? Yes! This is the car I was following where Mi Nyu rode earlier. Yes! But... it's parked in front of a building. Could she be here?
The gate of the building was guarded, well this is where she could be, I guess.
"I'm sorry, Miss. You cannot go inside." One of the guards blocked my way.
"Huh? No, I think my friend's inside. Can I see her?" I asked.
"That's what everyone says."
"No, I mean it. I swear. She's Mi Nyu. Go. Mi. Nyu." I gulped. It can't be a mistake, right?
"We don't know any Go Mi Nyu here. But we have Go Mi Nam inside."
Go Mi Nam? Huh? That's Mi Nyu's twin brother! He's back? As in for real? Wow! Mi Nyu would be delighted to see him! "Mi Nam? Oh, good! Her sister would be glad to see him! Can I see him?"
"Wait, Miss." He turned around. I heard him talking in a walk-y talk-y like something. "Sir, someone's outside looking for Go Mi Nam, should I let her in? She said she's a friend. Okay. Yes sir." Then he looked at me and opened the gates. Oh, I feel like a princess.
"Thank you!"
Seriously, where am I?
I sat on the lobby waiting for someone to pass by. I heard little noise, a girl talking about her pants. Well, that was a very familiar voice.
"Mi Nyu?" I asked in a sudden. I headed to the sound... Now... Is it Mi Nam... a little smaller?
"Sung Hyo?" How should I address this person? She's actually Mi Nyu, I can see that. But why is she dressed like a boy? Wearing a wig? What is going on?
"Mi Nyu? Is that... you? Or are you Mi Nam?"
"Yea, yea. C'mon! You have to sign that contract now." Says the little fat boy dragging her by the pants.
"Contract? Mi Nyu? Wait!" I followed them.
"Let her come with us, Manager Ma. She's my friend, for real." I heard her talking to the guy with her. "Please?" She knelt down and I was able to get ten-feet nearer to them. "Please, please, please."
"Fine. C'mon, we need to hurry." The guy Mi Nyu called 'Manager Ma' hand-signaled me to go with them. Yikes!
"I'll explain to you later, please wait!" Mi Nyu said and I can see she's nervous in some ways she can't tell me. And they entered a room. I'm dying wondering why. Hm...
I sat on a chair there outside. Suddenly, I feel so alone. I tried calling my mom, maybe somehow her head cooled down and take me back home.
'Sorry, the number you are calling is out of service, please try again later' stupid line. It keeps on repeating whenever I dial my mom's number. I tried calling my dad, but it says the same. Are they safe? Where are they?
I called our neighbor.
"Hello, who is this?" Jin Rin, our neighbor back then, answered their phone.
"Oh.. h--hi. It's Sung Hyo." I managed to pull back the tears in my eyes.
"Why have you called? Anything you need?" She asked, I hope she did not recognize my voice shaking.
"I'm just... gonna ask how my parents are. Are they home?"
"I'm sorry, Sung Hyo. But they left today."
"Oh... really? Do you know where did they go?"
"I'm not sure, but this weekend, they'll be leaving for good. Aren't you going with them?" She asked shocked.
"W...what?"
"I said they'll be leaving for good. I don't really know where they are going, but they said they'll be staying in Busan."
"Busan? Why?"
"Your dad's going to work there as a business man with your mom. I don't really understand why. You're going with them?" She asked.
"Thanks, Jin Rin. I--I hope I can come with them. Thank you!" I put down my phone stared. They'll be leaving for good. So staying here is actually bad for them? What kind of daughter am I to actually be able to drag away my parents... I'm a fool to be hoping my mom and dad would take me back with them.
This is crazy, I can't cry here. Somebody might think I'm crazy for real, I have to go. I'll just wait for Mi Nyu in the convent. Stupid tears don't stop flowing down my cheeks.
While walking to get out of the building, I'm texting Mi Nyu 'I'll go first. I'll just wait for you in the convent, see you later. Do good--' Ouch!
Even crazier, why do I keep on bumping every one? Am I this worthless that nobody can see me anymore? Why? WHYYYYYY?
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" The one who bumped me looked at me straight in the eyes. Shoot, am I still in tears? I hurriedly wiped them all away.
"I'm fine." I stood up taking his hand. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, I'll go now. I'm sorry." I totally looked down, I never glanced in his eyes even just a little. He looked taller than I thought when I stood up, he's wearing all-white with blue belt and shoes. Is he actually my fourth angel today? I hurried down the stairs.
"Wait!" Isn't it funny that his voice sounds so familiar too. "Wait!" I stopped. "Your phone." He waved it at me offered it to me.
I was kind of speechless, Sung Hyo, how could you be so careless, huh? "Oh.. tha--thank you." I bowed before him, "Thank you." And I ran to go outside.
[Mi Nyu's POV]
Did I do good? That leader of the group A.N.JELL's pretty scary. Good thing I was able to sing, whew!
When I went outside, Sung Hyo wasn't there anymore. Maybe she got bored, I'll be seeing her in the convent later. Yes, she will be in the convent later.
Manager Ma led the way for me to change clothes now. Signing the contract was creepy, all for Mi Nam.
[Kang Shin Woo's POV]
That was an angelic voice... Maybe Tae-Kyung liked the song, or Mi Nam's voice. Mi Nam truly looked shorter than expected, he even acted so weird. Wow.
I followed TaeKyung, Jeremy's the last to leave the room. I just hope TaeKyung will not take this seriously. Adding a member sure hurt him somehow. But I'm ready to accept that fact. Taekyung's the only problem now. I guess he can accept it someday.
I heard a sound of keys... I looked around. I remembered my car, I lost it the other day. I can't believe what I'm seeing.
"Hi, my famous brother." I froze in death. "I came here to return this to you." He threw my car keys to be, good thing I came back to my senses and caught it.
"Why are you here?" I asked in a still voice.
"Didn't you miss me? Kang Shin Woo, it's been years. Don't you miss your brother?"
"Lee Jong Hyun."
"You probably missed our real name too, right?" He looked too serious, Jong Hyun's my younger brother.
"Don't cause any trouble now, please."
"Do you miss CN Blue?"
"Stop it, Jong Hyun. I said, back off."
"I came for peace, Shin Woo. I don't care if you changed your name or if you actually forgot about CN Blue. Shin woo, I'll be staying in Seoul in the mean time with the band."
"What?" Shocking.
"Yeah, I didn't even expect it too. We'll be having our first mini concert in Seoul. Aren't you happy for us?"
It took time for me to answer. "Yes, yes I'm happy for you, guys. Wish you good luck."
His bright eyes turn to gloomy eyes. "Kang Shin Woo, since you've left... this will be the last time I'm addressing you as my brother. Because since you changed your name, you stopped being my brother. And it feels like I don't know you anymore." He took a step forward. "Nice meeting you, Shin Woo. I'm Lee Jong Hyun." He smiled and offered his right hand to me. Did I hear the right words from his mouth? As his brother, it hurts.
I finally took his hands for a handshake. He's clearly saying that we're different people now. I thought I just needed time, and I'll come back when I'm ready. But I don't think that's gonna happen now.
He let go of my hand and stepped backward, turned around and walked away from me.
Years ago, I was a street singer with a band named CN Blue. My brother, Jong Hyun, was with me in the band together with two other band mates. We started out singing in the streets trying to find our career.
As their lead vocalist and guitarist, I was too much in crave for being popular. Our lead guitarist was Jong Hyun who also do some vocals. We swear all of heavens and hell to be together as a band and some day, we'll be as famous as the other Korean bands. One day, someone called me. The next day, I was with the other band named A.N.JELL. Years passed, we're famous now. My dream came true. But I'm not with the CN Blue as promised anymore.
Moreover, I left my brother. Now he came back, but ended our brotherhood.
"Hey, anything wrong? Where's TaeKyung?" Jeremy tapped me from behind. We started going to wherever TaeKyung is. Be good, Shin Woo.
[Jong Hyun's POV]
As soon as I reached the studio, I got to record the song 'Teardrops in the rain'. There, our manager was waiting together with Jungshin and Minhyuk. I can't tell them I met Shin Woo today... I even sneaked when I sneaked his car out of their house.
I took my guitar and started with the recording...
No one ever sees, no one feels the pain
Teadrops in the rain
I wish upon a star, I wonder where you are
I wish you're coming back to me again
And everything's the same like it used to be
I see the days go by and still I wonder why
I wonder why it has to be this way
Why can't I have you here just like it used to be
I don't know which way to choose
How can I find a way to go on ?
I don't know if I can go on without you oh
Even if my heart's still beating just for you
I really know you are not feeling like I do
And even if the sun is shining over me
How come I still freeze ?
No one ever sees, no one feels the pain
I shed teardrops in the rain
I wish that I could fly, I wonder what you say
I wish you're flying back to me again
Hope everything's the same like it used to be
I don't know which way to choose
How can I find a way to go on
I don't know if I can go on without you, without you
Even if my heart's still beating just for you
I really know you are not feeling like I do
And even if the sun is shining over me
How come I still freeze ?
No one ever sees, no one feels the pain
I shed teardrops in the rain
Oh... I shed teardrops in the rain
Oh... Hey... Teardrops in the rain
Even if my heart's still beating just for you
I really know you are not feeling like I do
And even if the sun is shining over me
How come I still freeze ?
No one ever sees (no one) no one feels the pain (no one)
I shed teardrops in the rain
Teardrops in the rain
Teardrops in the rain
Teardrops in the rain...
"Very good, Jong Hyun!" Our manager exclaimed after. Pulling my tears back was harder than I thought.
"You did great!" Minhyuk said too. So much for praising me, I'm tired.
I just responded with a smile trying to hide the pain. Losing a brother isn't half as much as good as not being with him.
