Weightless Love (Block B Fanfic)

Part 9

Jaehyo circled around the playground, inhaling the cold, autumn air. With his bags on his shoulders, he placed himself on the swings, sighing as he gently moved back and forth.

Staring down at his feet, he softly hummed the song he had first heard Mi Nyeo sing. As he swung, he occasionally kicked the dirt, sighing yet again after he had finally stopped humming.

He threw his head back, staring up at the scintillating moon surrounded by the tiny specks of stars. The corners of his mouth lifted, creating a small smile.

"It's going to snow soon," He said to himself. "I wonder if she likes the snow."

"You're talking to yourself now?" Said a familiar voice coming from behind him. He slightly turned around to see none other but his wisest friend. Taeil snickered, walking up to him and sitting on the swing adjacent to Jaehyo. "I didn't think you were this crazy."

Jaehyo snorted. "Well, I'm only crazy about the things that make my heart race."

"Like Mi Nyeo?" Jaehyo dropped his head in defeat though didn't answer Taeil's question verbally. "I'll take that as a yes."

"If only I had the chance to actually get to know her." He admitted. 'You do have the chance.' He thought. 'You just have to find her.'

Changing the subject, Taeil spoke. "Se Ra brought a girl to Ms. Kim's. She was really pretty, talented and nice." A light of hope blinked alive inside of Jaehyo.

"What was her name?"

"Mi Cha." Jaehyo beamed, thanking the gods. "I think she'll be there tomorrow morning. Ms. Kim was thinking about hiring her at the restaurant for the customers entertainment. It's quite a bright idea."

"That's a brilliant idea!" The enthusiasm took Taeil aback, surprised how excited Jaehyo seemed. "I'll stop by tomorrow and meet her!"

He shot up from the swing, sighing happily as he stretched. He turned to Taeil and waved.

"I'll see you tomorrow then!" He then skipped away, soon disappearing from the others sight.

"How peculiar," He shook his head, chuckling as he did so. "I wonder if he knows?" Taeil shrugged. Laughing to himself, he stood up and began walking. "This will be very interesting to watch."

Mi Nyeo sighed heavily, contemplating her first performance; should she even go on?

There was a large crowd, today being a busy day for the restaurant she now works for. She has never performed for this huge amount of people.

She felt a warm, comforting hand rub her shoulder. Turning around, she smiled at the woman.

"You'll do fine," Ms. Kim assured. "Now go out there and give it your all!" Mi Nyeo nodded and embraced Ms. Kim softly, thanking her for her words.

Ms. Kim then left to continue running her beloved restaurant, leaving a still nervous Mi Nyeo.

After a few moments, it was now the beginning of her performance.

She graciously walked in the middle of the cluttered crowd of tables filled with people who gave her smiles and cheers. She lightly bowed to them all before sitting down with her guitar in front of the microphone.

"Hello, everyone!" The room then quieted down as she spoke, listening to her words. "My name is Song Mi Cha. I'll be your entertainer for the night!" The restaurant was yet again bombarded with cheers, making a smile form on Mi Nyeo's face. After the crowd died down, she began speaking again. "I'll be singing a song I have written after I had gone through a tough stage in my life. It was so bad that I just felt so wrong to be in the skin I was in and tried running away from it."
