(Un)Happy Anniversary

April Fool's Day

I am OBSESSED with that song I will not even try to explain why so as a result I made a Kaistal oneshot. This is a few days late. I planned on putting it up on the day of their anniversary (I know it's not really their 'real' anniversary but since it was publicly announced on that day last year, it became our anniversary for them),  but I wasn't able to because I didn't get to finish it in time. Sorry.

So, here it is. A few days late but still worth reading. Enjoy Kaistals!

April Fools Day

An American song started playing. Everyone turned their heads to look at the staff who quickly covered her face in embarrassment with her left hand then her right hand took her phone out, killing the music. I saw some of the staff glared at her. I heard that song twice I believed, but I can't remember the title. It's pretty popular in Korea, well, the singer is internationally popular anyway.

When the song stopped from playing, another one came but this time it's from my phone. Technically, it's not a song, just my ringing tone. They looked at me, if I'm not feeling so down today I would have laughed out loud. They glared at her when her phone rang but when it was from EXO Kai, they even smiled.

I looked at the screen and bowed apologetically to all of the staff - Korean and Japanese, before leaving the room. With the phone in my hand, I took long strides to find a less crowded area. I spotted the end of the corridor where a vending machine is standing. My eyes roams at the colorful and highly technologically advanced vending machine but my mind's focused at the voice in my phone.

"I'm really sorry, princess."

"But Jongin, you said we're going. We've been planning this since December." her voice low, almost sounded pleading.

"I know. I know. I wanted to spend our anniversary with you Soojung-ah." I leaned my forehead at the cold surface of the machine, closing my eyes in despair. "Only with you."

Silence.

"Soojung-ah?"

"You promised, Jongin." her voice broke and it breaks my heart.

"Soojung-ah ...."

She cleared her throat, masking her cry. "I need to go. The meeting's about to start."

The call ended even before I got to say 'Saranghe'.

****

I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what's happening?
You and your ass invited
So gon' and get to clappin'
Girl, pop it for a pimp
Pop, pop it for me
Turn around and drop it for a pimp
Drop, drop it for me

That song again. When I accepted the facetime video call, it's playing on the background. It's very cheery and dance-able but I don't have the energy nor the spirit to even smile at the moment.

"Jonginnie!" Jongdae hyung and Baekhyun hyung greeted me cheerfully, waving their hands and turning the phone around, showing everybody. They were eating at one of the restaurants we usually visit. Today we're suppose to go out as a group to celebrate Minseok hyung's birthday but since three of us are out of the country, facetime is the only way to celebrate it together.

"Happy Birthday Minseok hyung." I greeted our fake maknae when his face came at the screen.

"Thanks, Jongin." he said with a smile. The screen suddenly changed and Sehun appeared. "Did you buy the jacket I was telling you about?"
