CHAPTER 35

2/2

"Okay all done!", Sammy was all smiles as she distribute the shot glasses on us and handed the plate as we pick one lime each.

I looked at Jan who's already holding her drink and before I could speak she already raised her index finger and said "just one" at me inaudibly.

Fine. She's not gonna get drunk with one drink.

"Cheers!", Sammy yelled and straight up finished her drink. Gun was already sucking his lime when I turned at him same with Earth while Janhae just finished half of her shot glass and I can no longer paint her face.

I licked some of the salt before I drink mine and fucking shit how strong is this??? I almost belch on its bitter taste, thank heavens for the lime it was a big help.

"Nice right?", Earth said.

I shook my head hastily, my nose still wrinkled, "It's very bitter!"

He laughed at me and handed me another piece of lime, "I'm talking about the song. You Give Me Something by James Morrison."

"Oh. Oh!", I chuckled when I realized now what he said earlier, "Yeah, it's a very nice love song."

"It's actually a harsh love song."

"How did it become harsh when the meaning seems positive?"

He moved closer to me and spoke very softly, "It's because the person in the song doesn't love the other party as much as she loves him, although he's willing to give their relationship a try."

Woah! I didn't know Earth had a masteral in interpreting music lyrics.

I scoffed at him, "You're making this up, aren't you?"

"It's true!"

"Anyone here wants to sing?", the vocalist asked.

"Since you're so good at music why don't you show us what you got?", I mocked at him.

Anyway, some of our colleagues are already screaming his name.

"Oh no, no..", Earth was shaking his head as Janhae was pulling his hand up.

"Go Earth!", Gun shouted his hand cupped around his mouth.

He wasn't able to do anything but to just stand up and agree to give what our colleagues wants. Before I know it, he's already at the stage holding the microphone.

"Hi. Uhm, this is one song I've been listening to a lot lately. It's called Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. Hope you all will like it."

Wow. I was amazed on how talented these musicians are. Does all musician know how to play almost every song? Thinking on how Sing was with his previous band, although I haven't listen to them, compare to the one he have now, this kind of style fits him so much better.

And here goes Earth. Well, he has a modulated speaking voice, it's not a surprise if he possess a fine singing voice. But I didn't know that like Tay, Earth also loves music.

"P'Earth's girlfriend is a one lucky bitch", Jan said to us, all our eyes focused on Earth, "how could he be so good in everything?"

"He have a girlfriend??", I gaped at her.

"Me", she answered pointing at herself.

I chuckled.

Gun was handing me over a salted rim tequila and he pouted at me when I shook my head.
