Exchange of hearts - Hambebe AU

Chapter 9

Third Person's POV:

Gwen does not even know why she pinched Sheena the way she used to pinch her first love, Aiah. Was it because she somehow reminded of her with that sad love song, or was it because Sheena's too adorable to subconsciously do it.

Again, Gwen is the type who sets aside her personal issues, emotions-whether it be happy or sad, when it's time to take a stage.

She's like putting an invisible mask of confidence. Her professionalism has just taken over to her crazy thoughts and feelings right now.

She does not need any kind of rituals to be prepared Since singing is her second love. Next to modelling.

She was now holding her microphone then She once again, took a glance at Sheena, gave her a sweet but short smile making the latter frozen to where she stands, with eyes widening in a state of shock.

Gwen closes her eyes, not because she's nervous but she wanted to feel the song. After all it's one of her favorite song to sing to Aiah when they were having picnic dates before.

So she was kinda expecting that she's gonna have flashbacks once again, once she started singing.

****you can actually listen to Bini Gwen's version of this song that's all over tiktok for a much better DELULU moment, DELULU at your own risk haha.****

Song Title: With a Smile by E-heads

🎶🎤🎼

Lift your head, baby don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try

Oh fowt-ah apakalamig ng boses!!! first stanza palang. Sheena was too stunned of Gwen's soft voice fitting so perfectly with a song originally sang by a Boyband.

🎶🎤🎼
Baby, you don't have to worry
'Cause there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
They don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway
Girl, I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by if you smile
You can never be too happy in this life

Mama! Jojowain!!!!! Sheena can't help herself from admiring the older girl's amazing tone of voice as the song continues.

Gwen opened her eyes as she sings the chorus, looking directly to where Sheena was standing. She sees a smile never leaving the younger girl's face. She smiles back and starts staring at Sheena as if she's singing the song to her.

One of the judges noticed and looked at the direction of Sheena, it made the younger look away.

Eeh! Pereng tenge Gwen.. Ano beyyyy. She said to herself while biting her lower lip after looking at a different direction as she noticed that one of the judges was giving her a confusing look.

🎤🎶🎼

Cause in a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song
Tidididi, tidididi, tidididi, didi, didi, dididi
Let me hear you sing it
Tidididi, tidididi, tidididi, didi, didi, dididi

Gwen coudn't find the right words to explain. During that first stanza when she closed her eyes, she did recall the happy moments that she and Aiah shared. She's not too sure if there was pain while reminiscing and singing at the same time. But she's quite surpise to herself that when she opened her eyes to that chorus part, when she started looking at Sheena, when she saw those smiles, she forgot every detail she remembered about her first love a while ago. It's as if the first stanza was a yesterday's feels and the chorus part was her present happy moment.
