Loving Wendy

six

" hello Im Wendy from LifeStyle magazine..." Wendy said to the guy at the door of the bar.

" oh hello..welcome. Ill call the manager.." The guy said and ushered her inside.

" good evening Wendy. This is Ji Hoo " the manager said, " he will assist you tonight please call me if you have some questions."

Wendy smiled at Ji Hoo. There was an awkward silence between them.
" hey couz..Im gonna play..." Yonghwa's voice trailed when he saw Wendy with  a dlsr camera hanging on her neck.

" oh Wendy let me introduce Yonghwa. Hes my cousin and he will play on the first part of the evening.." JiHoo said and Yonghwa look at Wendy ans smile.

" hello..its you.. Youre the photographer.." He said.

Wendy smiled back at him noting the guitar that he carry. Then she took some pictures of the bar without customers and waited a few minutes when the people come one by one. Ji Hoo introduced her to the rest of the workers.

She sat in a table for four with Ji Hoo. They didnt speak with each other. When the place is almost full, Ji Hoo excused himself to serve the customers. Wendy was left alone with her thoughts and she remembered what happened earlier.

She bit her lip to keep it from quivering. Her eyes shone and she was almost sobbing.

" hey..are you alright.. Here.." She was startled to find Yonghwa sitting beside her offering her a handkerchief.

She smiled but it didnt reach her eyes and she wipe her face." Thank you..Im ok." She answered and look up at the ceiling to control her tears.

She felt a hand on her neck. She look at Yonghwa with a frown.

" are you sick?" He asked her.

She just shake her head. " I'll be playing 3 songs.. " he said gesturing to his guitar. She nod at him and smiled shyly.

Ji Hoo went to the small stage in front. " ladies and gentleman..may I present Yonghwa Jung.." Yonghwa smiled at Wendy before he went up the stage. He sat on a high chair and started strumming his guitar.

He look over at Wendy and smiled. She smiled back at him. She took some pictures of him and the audience. Then she stepped near the entrance to get a shot of the entirr place.

" hey you can stay here, this one's on the house.." Ji Hoo told her as he escorted her to a side table. He gave her cranberry juice and she thanked him.

She listened to the song. Yonghwa look at her and smiled as he played a cover for a maroon 5 song.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
  I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved
And she will be loved 

Wendy was amazed at the soothing voice she hears and look at Yonghwad face as he sing. He felt her eyes on him and he smiled at her. Noticing that she has stopped crying.

She look at down at her drink and blushed and he smiled again.

He was wondering why she cried earlier. Her eyes shone with still unshed tears as she try to finish her work.

He sang to more songs and then Ji Hoo once again introduced the band that they have for the night.

He walk over to Wendy. " are you finished ?" He asked her.

" no. Not yet. I still have to take pictures of the crew at work and also of the manager. " she explained.

" oh. Ok. We' ll finish by 10:00. We can go home together since we live in the same street." Yonghwa offered. Wendy look at him thinking. She knew that Rein will ask her some questions if she go home early and she wants to avoid that.

" ok. I'll wait if its ok with you. " she answered.

He smiled at her. She was served another cranberrry juice and she thanked Ji Hoo. Yonghwa look at her closely but she didnt say anything else.

He went on and did his job as bartender and mixed some drinks at the bar. Wendy sat at the farthest seat looking at him as he work. Taking pictures every now and then.
