Write you a song | Han Jisung

17

I couldn't stop smiling. I felt magical. We were having breakfast all together and Jisung just couldn't stop touching me somehow. Right now he was gently squeezing my knee and placing a fork with some scrambled eggs Lee Know made in front of my mouth. I giggled and let him feed me.

"You two are disgusting," Hyunjin said, still half asleep. Everybody at the table laughed.

"No, I'm serious. I'm in the room directly next to them and you don't want to know which sounds woke me up this morning," he said. Heat crept up to my face. Jisung choked on his food. Hyunjin started grinning at our reaction. He wasn't really mad. I think he found it kind of funny. I quickly tried to change the subject.

"What are you guys up to today?" I asked.

"We need to record the new song, guys," Chan said, and everybody started agreeing.

"Wanna come to the studio and watch?" Jisung asked me. I started smiling.

"I would love to if it's okay with you guys," I answered.

Not long after, I was sitting in a studio between Jisung and Chan. Felix was in the booth singing his parts. I was listening closely.

"You know what I think would be cool," I suddenly said. Everybody looked at me. Chan pressed the button so Felix could hear me as well.

"Tell us your idea," Chan said.

"It's like a funky song, right? And Felix is like suddenly hitting this deep rap part. Like the refrain is all happy and stuff and then it gets to his part. What if you guys cut in like someone laughing in between. You know what I mean?" I said.

Chan looked at me puzzled. "Let's try it. Who has a good laugh?" he looked behind him. "Changbin, come on," he finally said.

Changbin laughed a few times, and Chan cut it into the song. It sounded good.

"It needs to be more like a giggle," Han finally said.

"Yes, I thought so too!" I said.

Chan looked at me. "Can you show us?" he said, handing me a pair of headphones.

"Sure," I said, looking at Jisung, who was nodding eagerly. I went into the booth and giggled my girliest giggle. I saw Chan doing something on his laptop.

"You wanna listen to it?" he asked. I nodded, and he played it. It sounded exactly like I imagined. First, the fast refrain, my giggle right after, and then Felix hit with the deep rap verse.

"That's actually cool," Chan said. The boys agreed.

"Do you think what I think?" Jisung asked, and Chan nodded.

I came back out of the booth. "If it's okay with you, we would leave your giggle in," Chan finally said.

I looked surprised at Jisung. "We can't giggle that high. And honestly, it's kind of a love song so it's better if it's a girl," he said. I smiled. "If you think it sounds good," I said, still smiling.

I opened the door to my apartment. Yui immediately came towards me. I smiled at her and walked to my room; she was right behind me.

"So, are you together again?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said, smiling to myself as I started to pack a bag with clothes.

"Are you leaving again?" Yui asked.

"Jisung asked if I could stay another night," I answered.

"Oh, okay," Yui mumbled, "It's just... I miss you. I tried giving you space because you needed it but you are never here anymore."

I stopped in my tracks. I did neglect my friendship with Yui. I sat down on my bed and looked at her. "I'm such a bad friend," I whispered.

Yui sat down next to me. "You're not a bad friend. You were hurting. And I'm glad to see you happy again... I hadn't seen you smile for months... but maybe we could just... hang out sometime?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yes, let's go shopping tomorrow! And I will buy us dinner and we're having a girls' night after that, okay?" I suggested.

Yui started smiling. "I think that would be nice," she said.

"Okay, I'm gonna be home as soon as I wake up tomorrow. We can go to brunch before shopping," I said. Yui smiled even bigger.
