Kyungsoo

I must admit that the moment in the with that strange guy helped me feel more comfortable. It's a blessing in disguise I think.

I look at myself in the full length mirror backstage and gave out a sly smile. I walk on the stage sheepishly with my head facing the ground but with a slight smile. I can't really explain why am I smiling right now maybe because of the guy's shirt I'm wearing right now. Wait, what am I saying? I think I'm out of my mind because nervousness consumes me.

I stand still until I heard the music starts. Waiting for the right time to singthe start. I heave out a sigh and close my eyes. Until...

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in

I keep still my position - my face faving the floor and closed eyes. After I finished the first verse, what I can hear are the fast beating of my heart and a faint clap from the audience. It gives me some sort of confidence and I face the audience with the obvious look of nervousness on my face while continuing the song.

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

Just before the chorus, I noticed that the people are swaying their hands to the rhythym of the song. This gave an urge of encouragement and sang the song more enthusiastically.

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

I'm feeling relieved realizing that I'm nearing the end of the song. I scanned the people now swaying their heads. My heart skipped when I saw the guy who owns the shirt I'm wearing is sitting on the front seats. His eyes are closed, it's like he is absorbing the music or he is just tired and sleepy.

To my shock he smiled intently when he noticed that I'm staring at him. It feels like I will melt in his gaze. My heart is beating as if it was in a marathon contest.

I stuttered in some lines because of my heart racing so fast. I covered it by smiling.

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

May not know

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning

A loud applause is what heard after my performance. I bowed 90 degrees and said thank you. When I am going to the backstage, I saw in my peripheral view that the guy stand up from his seat. I assume he's going to the waiting room and meet me for us to swap shirts. I smiled by the thought of it.

Arghh what's wrong with me today!

I reached the waiting room anticipating his presence but I was wrong he was not there. I gave up searching for him. I was at the hallway heading to where my parents are when a muscular hand grabs me at my arm and pull me forcefully. I look up and saw the face of the guy smirking.

So I decided not to let go maybe he just want to switch our shirts already. I followed as he lead still holding my arm until we have a sharp turn and realized we are in the rest room. As i expected.

When I got in, he suddenly locked the door. "What are you try-?" I was so supposed to asked him but he grab hold my two arms up and pin me. My back touching the back of the door. I see him gazing through my eyes as if he is looking into my soul. I can't utter any word, my tongue failed me. I cannot describe what I feel.

When he realized I'm not trying to get off his arms, he is forming a smirk on his face - that gesture made my heart flatter especially he is right in front me, not only that he is so close to me.
It is then I noticed his red thick lips that made him look sexy especially now his biting lower lip keeping his stare at me.

What am I thinking? Maybe because he is so close to me that my brain isn't functioning well.

His head is slowly moving forward, a few inches from my face. One wrong move I might kiss him accidentally. He continued doing that. He closed his eyes just then it sink to me what we will do. I pushed him as hard as I can. He stumbled backwards, his hips hit the the sink. He squirms in pain.

He looked at me with a sad look on his eyes. What is thinking now?

"I-I am sorry. I did-dn't mean to do that," he said while moving towards me.

"It's o-okay," I stuttered. "I apologize too. I'm sorry if it hurts" I added. I face the floor while saying those.

"By the way, why did you bring me here?" I asked, still in the position.

"I just want to say congratulations for the awesome performance earlier. Nothing more," he replied while brushing his hair using his fingers.

"In a comfort room? Really?" I asked with a little laugh in between words.

"Ahhh. Ehhh. I have to go, I really do. See youa round campus," he said shoving me out from the back of the door. He's tryinh to get out but I grabbed his arm and said "I'm Kyungsoo by the way."

I let go of his arm. He immediately run but he shouted while running
"I *gasp* KNOW. I'M *gasp* KAIII!"

Now he's gone leaving me there. So he is Kai. But wait, his shirt is still on me. Aisshh. So I have to find him here in the campus.
