♫“Reminiscing the memories that we have written down on this brick road together. Every time I pass by, I get drawn back to our past, when you were still here…”

♫“…How I wish I have the power to turn back time, longing for that sweet embrace I missed so much. I’m sure you miss me too, yet it seems I’m the one having it the hardest. Trying, just trying to forget about you. Gone were those days you held my hand and wiped my tears. Now I’m all alone…still hoping to see you again~”

“Yah~! Minah! Stop banging the piano like that. It is really annoying and people are staring at us.” My best friend brought me to a halt as her voice sounded off across the whole music shop.

I sighed and gracefully faced her, “Hyekyo, for your information, I am not banging the piano, I’m playing it like Mozart does.”

“Mozart? Don’t even go there, you play like a dog and that is final.” She insulted.

“Uh~ have you ever heard a dog do it?” I made a rebuttal.

“Okay, okay… could we just stop or else we’ll be late for work.” She reminded as she gradually calmed down.

I stood up and fixed my clothes, “Alright.”

We exited the shop side by side. Our cold bodies met with the warm air as we strode along the busy streets of Seoul.

Today is such a wonderful summer day unlike any other. It seems to be different from those that went by. Destiny might offer me something good, hmm I hope so…

“So how is your new apartment Minah?” Heykyo questioned while re-arranging the pile of 2PM albums.

I smiled at her, “It’s going well, but we haven’t unpacked everything yet.”

“Want me to come over and help you and your mom out?” she suggested. I bobbed my head from left to right, “Its okay, we can handle it.”  

“Excuse me, do you still have Taeyang’s SOLAR album?” A customer came up to me. “Yes.” I nodded.

Hyekyo handed the man the wrapped up CD album, “Here you go.”

The man bowed his head, “thank you,” and placed the CD on the counter top. I scanned the barcode encoding the price of the YG artist’s album. He instantly handed me the exact amount of cash as Hyekyo placed it in a plastic bag with the music store’s logo imprinted on it. She handed it over to him and we simultaneously thanked the customer again before he left.

After him leaving I began helping my best friend in re-arranging the other albums. Suddenly she nudged my arm to call my attention, “Oh, look.” She referred to the television set near the counter which was turned on.

“Showbiz news flash.” The woman reporter stated with a nonchalant tone. “Park Yoochun, quits. According to his manager, Park Yoochun forcefully quits as a singer and a songwriter. The reason behind this tragic action was because of his long-time girlfriend who recently broke-up with him. Yoochun was really attached to his ex and this results to him making non-sense songs which dismayed the entertainment agencies like SM, JYP, YG, J.Tune, Pledis, Avex Network to mention a few. No one knows however where this damned star is staying. Even his manager does not know his whereabouts. And in other showbiz news…”    

“Chincha (Really)?” Hyekyo was shocked. “Just because of a girl he quits?” I wondered.

“Maybe it was a really bad break-up which led him into immense depression.” My friend protected the star. “Well, yes but he’s putting away so much.” I replied. “That is life for you.” Hyekyo ended our conversation as she had to entertain a new customer and I went back behind the counter.
