Chapter.7 - Succes! -

7. Succes!

That afternoon I spent with my old friend Mi-yung, was realy nice. We spoke about memories from school, and about how we where doing now today. But when I mentioned the future, with my boyfriend she turned all silent. And suddenly I regretted what I had said. I had in fact told her that we would be getting married, and her response was, - Did Hyuk-ji realy agreed on that?, and it left me so startled. Just even hearing that.

I swallowed, - No, I said, - its just my plans, that's all, I admitted and she smiled. - You'r always so cute Ji-na, but I dont want to see you getting hurt again, she said and folded her warm hands around mine. And I smiled. Thank you for always being so nice, Mi-yung. Thank you.

The next place I went, was to a brand new location! Because guess what? A strange boy appeared imeadeately after Woo-hyun hanged up the advertisement, and Ji-na invited me to watch his audition. I was so happy with myself that it worked, and so I went to their new studio.

As I entered the place built for the purpose of rehearsing music, I was so dazzled by everything. I realy realy had faith in them, and I felt so gratefull for being the one to see how they where from the beginning of. I was a part of it, BlackStones.

The guy who wanted to be their bassist, was actually pretty young. My first thought was that he was some runaway kid, but then he started playing. And he played realy good, leaving everyone startled. - My name is Gong Shi-chan, he said and smiled. He seemed very cute, with his light brown hair with long bangs, and this strange smile like he knew a secret we did not.

Ji-na was the only one that was not smiling yet, she seemed to be thinking very hard. - So, Shi-chan.. who is your favourite bassist?, she asked coldly, and I got the feeling that this was the vital question. If he answered wrong he was out, and if not. Then.. - Trapnest's Hong Ri-seung, he said loud and clearly.

Woo-hyun and I looked at each other a bit worisomme, what was she planning now? Ji-na nodded satisfyed, - good, she said, - but you will have to promise me one thing. And then he nodded, and she walked realy close to him. In moments like this I felt something wich heavily recembled awe.

- You will be better than him, she said, - better than he will ever be. Her words sent shivers down my spine, in the moment wich Shi-chan grabbed her hand and eagerly shaked it. - I promise!, he said.

I stayed in the studio and watched them re-hearsing, and just like last time I was left speechless. Blackstones where amazing, and I could not wait to see the whole world realise that too! Ji-na were singing that song she sang before, Glamorous Sky. And even from the beginning Shi-chan matched the rest perfectly, I heard he even became Woo-hyun's roomate.

I hurried to Hyuk-ji's apartment, and stood outside calling him. - I'm here, I said, - where are you?, and then I heard a loud sigh. wich seemed to stabb my heart, - I'm sorry jagi, he whispered, - I.. forgot I had the night shift tonight. Tears rolled down my cheeks, before I even managed to say something. - ... Ji-na?, he continiued, - .. yes?, I whispered. - I got to go, he said and then I pressed the button myself.

- Damn it, I cryed, getting down on my knees. Why was this happening now? Why, Why, Why. And then it started raining, and silly me forgot my umbrella at home. It felt like hours had gone by to nothing, as the taxi finaly arrived outside the apartment building. And suddenly all the seven stairs up felt heavier than usual.

My hair was sticking into my face, as the rain had just recklessly poured down over me. Damn you demonlord, I whispered when I reached the last step. I was so cold, and my whole body was shaking. All I wanted to do now was to fall into a warm bed, and sleep.

But as I opened up the door, I was revielded to the scene of every member of Blackstones, playing cards and drinking by the kitchen table. Laughing like neverbefore. - I'm home, I said monotonically and took of my coat, and my shoes. - Hey Ji-na, wanna join the game?, Woo-hyun asked but I shaked my head as I walked right past them, - sorry, but I feel realy tired, I muttured, and closed the door to my room behind me.

Yet even from in there, I could hear how much fun they had. The clinking from the glasses, and the sound of their new bassist, superiour Shi-chan, winning all their money. And then a knock on my door, and someone entered. Ji-na. - Heey Jindo, she said, - you dont seem to well, did something happend?

I turned around at her, and she met my teary eyes. - Hyuk-ji, I cried, - H-he.. turned, I could nearly not speak trough my tears, - he turned.. me down again. I burried my head into the pillow, and and felt her hand patting my head. - shh, its allright, she whispered, - Let's go visit him tommorow, shall we?, she suggested.

And it actually sounded like a pretty good idea, so I stopped crying. - Would you realy follow me?, I asked hopefull and she nodded, - Of cource, Jindo, it'll be fun. I hugged her and cried a little more, then dried my tears away and joined the rest in the card games.

And guess what? Shi-chan won my money too!
