Little Do You Know

Little do you know, how I’m breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know, I’m still haunted by the memory
Little do you know, I’m trying to pick myself up piece by piece
Little do you know, I need a little more time

Flashback: Trainee Days (2 months after Chaeyoung started her training in YGE)

Jennie's POV

"Chaeyoung-ah, you sang a Jason Mraz song as your audition peace right?" I asked the girl who's lying beside me.

She nodded looking at the night sky "Yes, unnie."

"I want to hear it." I said making her suddenly look at me.

"Why so unnie?" she asked looking at me.

"I haven't seen you perform that song so I want to hear it." I said sitting up.

Chaeyoung sat up "Sure" she grabbed her guitar and placed it on her lap "Just a warning though, it's been so long since I last played this so I might have forgotten some lyrics or chords."

"It's not a problem to me Chaeng." I smiled reassuring her.

"Okay then." She said positioning her fingers on the frets creating a G chord.

Chaeyoung and I are currently at the garden of my parents' house stargazing. All trainees were given a week off before our monthly evaluation starts to prepare ourselves from the stress and the pressure. I brought Chaeyoung here at my parents' house because she has nowhere to go to since her family's in Australia.

She started plucking her guitar doing the song's intro. A couple more plucks and strums, she looked at me and started singing.

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold

As I was watching her, I realized how amazing Chaeyoung is. She's a very talented girl full of passion and dedication who is willing to do everything to reach her dreams.

And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I give my full attention to the girl singing in front of me not trying to miss out each of her every move like how she delicately plucks and strums her guitar creating a very soulful sound; how her voice fits perfectly to the song; like how she managed to take me to a different world just by looking into her poetic eyes; how beautiful the words are leaving her lips; and how she perfected every chord despite saying that she hasn't played the song for ages. Everything about her makes me admire her even more.

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

The whole time Chaeyoung was singing, her eyes never left my eyes. She's looking at me as if I'm the most precious gem that might break anytime soon if not taken care of.

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

I don't know how to explain this but she's making me feel things; things that I'm not familiar of. I'm not sure what it is but I feel like I am safe with these feelings she's making me feel. She's my safe haven.

Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
