9. Everything is controlled by the great demon lord!

Back home, I happily returned back to my warm bed, while Ji-na was preparing tea for me in the kitchen. I had never seen her so mad before. It was something about that look on her face, wild and frustrated. Like an animal who'se freedom was stolen. She would have beaten up Hyuk-ji if not me and his new girlfriend would have protested. And that comforted me somehow, to realy see that she cared that much.

I had been such a fool, wich I happend to be time after time. And my heart was crushed into a thousend pieces. Now that was not the first time, realy. And it was certainly not the last time either. But thinking about how miserable I was did not solve anything, and so I decided to move on.

Too be happy whitout him. To accept the fact that I had waisted two years on him, doing exactly what he said I should. Controlling everything, while I did my best to please him. And yet I was not good enough, and that's where the other woman came into the picture.

Now I would be much more better of whitout him, instead focusing on my life with Ji-na. That was the best for everyone, and no matter how much I wanted to be sad and regret the past, she and the rest of Blackstones kept me distracted. Kept a smile on my face.

Blackstones where literaly, turning the city upside down. And it did not take a lot of time untill their fan scare was shooting into the air like fireworks, while I stood by their side watching the sparkling colours fall down into dust. They rocked every scene of the clubs around, and soon their music became very popular.

Then came the day, that lead to me understanding Ji-na much better. It made me learn about how fragile she actually was too, even though I had always looked at her as unbreakable. But she was strong too, you know. And she had held her feelings in for a very long time.

- Ji-na!, I shouted exited. I jumped around the kitchen floor dancing, I was so so happy. - My mom gave me this!, I continiued as I literaly pushed the tickets up to her face. - I can't believe she realy did this to me!, I screamed, - two tickets too Trapnest's concert in Samcheok!, I hugged her tightly, yet she remained silent and un-exited.

- Do you wanna go with me?, I asked her expectfully, and then she pulled of a fake smile and shaked her head. - I'm sorry, Jindo, she said, - But I'm realy busy these days, you know..with Blackstones and everything. I sighed loudly and dramatic, while telling her it was okay. - I'll just ask someone else then.

While Ji-na sat down on the kitchen table, I started pouring limonade into both our glasses, the strawberry patterned ones. And then we just sat there, speaking about things that had happend lately. About how we met, about everything.

Then I got of to work, and, then I got fired. Why was this happening too me? All the time, always I found myself pulled down by bad luck. Everything was controlled by the great demon lord! And there was nothing I could do about that, but to simply hang on and wait for better times.

Momentarly, I seeked for a new jobb. And got a even worser one. At a office, I became an assistant of one of the workers, and spendt all my day running around getting people coffee, and copying documents for them. Ungratefull pigs. And then as I found myself exhausted, I was suddenly invited to a cafe by Woo-hyun and the rest of the Blackstones. Exept for Ji-na, who I believe was out shopping.

As I had taken a seat besides Shi-chan, and taken a deap breath of the mocha-scented air, I quickly started chattering about how miserable my life could be at times. And guess what that resulted in, the boys laughed their asses of by the story of my un-luckyness. Espeacilly after I blamed it upon the demon lord. - Demon lord!?, Woo-hyun exclaimed, and laughed so tears appeared in his eyelids.

- Forget about that, I hissed, making a pouty face. - Anyways, I've got two tickets to Trapnest's concert in Samcheok, and since Ji-na turned it down, I wondered if one of you would join me instead. Suddenly they all looked at each other, and the happy spirit creased like I had just done something awfull. - What?, I muttered annoyed, - why are you all like this, is it some unwritten rule that says you can't go to fellow band's concerts?

- Don't you know?, Woo-hyun asked, his face now serious for once. - Ji-na once had a relationshipp with the bassist of Trapnest, Hong Ri-seung, Shi-chan revielded. - Wait how did you know about that?, Woo-hyun exclaimed, and then Shi-chan laughed nervously, - you tell a lot of stories when your drunk, hyung, he said and smiled cutely. Woo-hyun's eyes widened, and just as he was about to ask what more he had told, I interupted him.

- Wait what?, Ji-na and Ri-seung!?, I shouted, and then Hyuk-shi took the word. - It's a difficult matter for Ji-na, he said, - that's why she would not go. I looked down, and suddenly started to feel realy bad. For when I had made her help me to hang up the poster, for how un-sensible I had been. - She broke his heart, Woo-hyun said breaking the silence that seemingly lasted forever. - Ri-seung used to be the bassist of our group, but he was offered a trainee contract two years ago, and that was when it happend. How awfull, I thought to myself. Ji-na was dealing with this things all by herself. And I was dancing silly around, forcing her to open up old wounds.

As soon as I got home, I went straight into my bedroom. Proceding to take the Trapnest poster down for good. There was no way I could not keep on hurting her like this. - What do you think you'r doing?, she said and I jumped. Turning around she stood watching me from the doorway.

I could not find my words, wich had died somewhere of inside my throat. Like when you blow a light out. - About the concert, she said, - is the ticket still available? she smiled such strangely while she said this, and I slowly nodded to her words.

- I'll go with you then, she said and clapped my shoulder. And just before she left she whispered, - and don't take that down, Jindo. She left me there, with so many questions. And the one that was the biggest of them all were, - why did she suddenly want to go?
