No girls allowed (Jaeyong)

66. Innocent talks

The first answer came this evening when Mr. Jacksonville met Jae in the cafe on the fourth floor of the company building and said he will do an album with him, his solo debut will be scheduled on July right after graduation, they just needed a great song to start with.

Jae has been thinking about the song for some time, he even tried to write some lyrics but it was very hard for him to make lines which would fit without using r-words, so he searched help from Mark, the boy had spent a few evenings songwriting and came up with two songs which Jae took with him tonight.

"My ffiend wfote this fof me," he said sliding the papers through the table.

Mr. Jacksonville took them and read through.

"Not bad, not good either," he said. "We need something better."

Jae lowered his head. He glanced at the night lights behind the windows.

"Today I woke up with a name on my lips

It's love

I would paint the sky in the shade of my love's eyes

It's love," he sang quietly.

"What's this?" Mr. Jacksonville dropping the papers on the table.

"A song Taeyong wfote fof me fof my fifst final showcase last yeaf," whispered Jae.

"Please continue," asked the man and Jae felt each word hurt but he kept singing.

"I would jog and fly to be by my love's side

It's love

My hands can speak and they can hug to show you that

It's love

So time stops

clouds go

I'm waiting

It's you - the one and only show

You heal me thousand pieces

Complete me oh my love..."

The lady behind the bar stopped cleaning the glass and the nuna manager in the corner raised her head from her coffee cup while Jae sang louder.

"You need me as I need a soulmate

And save me cos love is all we've got."

Jae stopped and looked at Mr. Jacksonville.

"It's beautiful, Taeyong wrote it for you? He's so talented in songwriting, guess he could write your album if I ask him."

The man spoke while Jae experienced an unpleasant feeling inside him.

"Not a single f-wofd in the whole song," he whispered.

"I guess we have our single," Mr. Jacksonville smiled but Jae turned to the window.

'I would paint the sky in the shade of my love's eyes - black like night,' whispered Jae in his mind.

Life turned back to nearly normal, Taeil was back at school and immediately received the best grades again causing Kun to look even more frustrated and hurt. Jae started to recored the song, it turned out even better than before. April came closer, the first spring flowers and leaves appeared, Taeil's garden was becoming greener each day, but Jae was still on a 'Hi-bye' phase with Taeyong, and that was it. Doyoung was studying to the final exams harder than ever, he forced Jae to spend hours over his books. One afternoon they were sitting in the library when Jae fell into a very miserable phase again.
