15 Years Of Hiding

Evaluation ³

/ Next Day /

The day has come the very last evaluation for the year and I'm excited actually I don't know why maybe it's because all of us are going to rest for the whole Christmas break, argghh I just don't know.

{ Auditorium }

When we entered the auditorium we saw Coach Maye and Kangta sunbaenim sitting and waiting for us.

We immediately said hello to one of our biggest and most respected senior in the company, of course we bowed 90% it's one of SM's traditions and to show respect as well.

Everyone: hello! Good afternoon!

Kangta: wahh, here they are. Hello, hello

Coach Maye: let's not waste the time, shall we start?

Kangta: yes, I'm excited and I'm looking forward to your performances.

Kangta: ahh, Chaerin-ah. It's been so long since I saw you when was that?

Chaerin: yes

Kangta: ok, haha I feel old now. Alright show me what you got

He smiled at me and I sat down in a high chair and prepared my guitar.

♪ Mine ♪

• Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You were in college, working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember, we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
And we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Do you remember, we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me, for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Hold on and make it last
Hold on, never turn back
(Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
(Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine (hold on)
Do you believe it? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We're gonna make it now (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I can see it (yeah, yeah)
I can see it now •

- End -

As I finished all of my fellow trainees clapped.

Kangta: Chaerin-ah, all I want to say is that you've come a long way. And I know you've been waiting for so long, you've been stuck here for 8 long years. Idols mostly train for the maximum of 5-6 years and then they debut. I never doubted your talent, your singing got more mature which is good playing a guitar while singing is hard but you nailed it so good job, Chae-Chae.

I was touched by Kangta sunbaenim's words.

Chaerin: Thank you, Sunbaenim.

I went back to my seat to watch the others.
