The Trouble Goddess

Hidden Talent

Sunday Morning...

Chae Rim's POV

Aww... Aww... my shoulders hurt. Maybe because of the swinging of the sword yesterday.

I massaged my shoulders as I went downstairs. Baekhyung noticed me."Yah! Rim! Good morning!"
"Morning" I murmured.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Aniyo. It's just my shoulders hurt from yesterday's training."
"Oh! Let me massage them for you!" He said then started massaging my back.
"Morning!" Chanyeol greeted while he's holding his guitar.
"Hyung! Are you going to compose a song?" I said while looking at his guitar.
"Yep. Just a finishing touch actually. Here, take a look." He handed me a copy of the lyrics.
I took the copy and read it. "Sing For You"
Yeol hyung started strumming his guitar and sang the first verse of the song.

**Nae nalgeun gitareul deureo haji motan gobaegeul
hogeun gojipseure samkin yaegireul
norae hana mandeun cheok jigeum malharyeo haeyo
geunyang deureoyo I’ll sing for you***

Then he stopped. He looked at me. "Why don't you join me in singing?"
"Huh? You know that I'm not good in singing." I said.
"Not good? But you just don't sing.  How would you know whether you're good or not?".
I haven't really heard myself singing nor humming. I don't know why but I think music hates me.
I looked at the song and it is really good. It's about a confession of a shy lad to a girl.
"Ne? Would you like to try?" Yeol hyung said.
"I would join too if you like. I really have a nice voice" Baekhyung said.
Chanyeol hyung started playing his guitar again.
Baekhyung started the first verse.

When the second verse began, I also started singing.

I don't know why, but the image of Chen-ssi singing occured in my memories.

The three of us were singing and synchronizing with each other until the end of the song. Chanyeol hyung ended it with his guitar.
"Woah! Chae Rim! I didn't know you have a nice voice!."
"Ne. And you sounded like Huang Zi Chen. I told you! You just don't use it!" Yeol hyung said while clapping his hands.
"You even hit the high notes! So cool!" Baek hyung said.
"I-I thought I don't know how to sing hehe".. I awkwardly laughed.
"From now on, I will be composing songs for us to sing. It would be great. Don't you think?"
"Yep!!! Thay would be fun."

I excused myself and went to the comfort room. I don't know why but it bothers me that I sound like Chen. He even patted my head like an older brother.

One thing is for sure. We are destined to meet. Maybe we are going to collaborate in the future? Haha.  Just a dream though.

"Chae Rim?" Soo hyung knocked the door.
"Ne?" I answered as I opened the door.
"We need to shop groceries for the week. Wanna come?" He said.
"Yep!!! Really!" I shouted with glee.
"Go and change then. Suho hyung will drive us there."
*****

In the grocery, me and Kyungsoo hyung went then and there for our groceries.
"Pick what you need Rim." Soo hyung said as he pushed the cart.
"Ne!" I said and started looking for items. I picked different items such as bathroom tissues, shampoos, soaps and other toiletries that we use.
Then I looked for Soo hyung and he is reading the label of the canned good. I sighed.
Among my brothers, Kyungsoo hyung is the one who is the perfectionist one. He would always try to make the best out of something. When it comes to food, he likes to prepare the healthiest and most nutritious food that he can cook.
"Hmm...it's high in sodium. It's not good for the health." He said and returned the canned good in its place.
I sweatdropped with his comment.
"Oh! What a young lovely couple! Buying groceries together?" An older woman said when she looked at us.
Me and Soo hyung looked at each other and laughed.
"Aniyo, madam. We are siblings." Soo hyung said.
"Oh! Mianhe! I thought you were a couple." She apologized and left.
I just shrugged my shoulders as I looked around the items. It's not the first time though.
Whenever we shop together, some random people would say we are a couple, and that we look good together.
"Oh! Chocolate!" I exclaimed when I saw the chocolate bar.
My eyes sparkled when I saw it. But when I remembered who I am with, I suddenly returned it.
If my other three hyungs are the ones who are here, they would allow me to buy it. But Soo hyung will never do that. Never.
"Chae Rim?"
"Ne?!?" I was surprised.
"Are you done?"
"Ne."
"Okay. Let's go."
"Ne."
He offered his hand and I took it, waving the chocolate goodbye. T.T

After we paid for the groceries, Soo hyung called Suho hyung to pick us up.
"It will take half an hour for Suho hyung to pick us up. Wanna eat ice cream?"
"H-Huh? I-Ice cream? Jinjja, hyung??!??" I couldn't believe my ears.
"I think it's not bad once in a while." He smiled.
"Yehey! Ice cream! Haha!"
We went to an ice cream station inside the supermarket and filled our cones. Then we ate to our hearts' content.
"Delicious, right hyung?" I said while eating ice cream.
"Not bad. But it really is sweet." He looked at me and wiped my mouth. "Aish! So messy!"
"Hehe."
"Suho hyung sad he's already in the parking lot. Kajja?" He said then we went out of the supermarket.

"Suho hyung!"
"Oh! You're here already! Let me help you." Suho hyung took the grocery bags and put them in the compartment.
"Okay! All set!" He said then closed the compartment.
We hopped in the car already. Soo hyung is in the passenger seat while I'm at the back seat. He looked at me and said "Don't forget your seatbelt."
"Ne".

As we travelled through the road, I saw the highest building named "Wu Corporation." So that is where Sehun is going to work someday.

At another point, there is a building named "Zhang Enterprises."
Zhang? As in Lay hyung?

And in the other corner, the name "Huang Royalty Company Inc." with Chen-ssi's face under it.

Then, at the other part is the hotel and resort owned by Minseok's family. "KMS Hotel and Resort."

I am surrounded by people who are wealthy yet very down-to-earth. I'm so blessed that I met them. But, it just struck me that I am not even on their level to be with them.

I sighed.
But I am still lucky and wealthy because of my hyungs. I would rather have them than any wealth in the world.

"Chae Rim?"
"Huh?"
"Isn't that your classmate?"
I looked where Suho hyung was looking and saw Sehun  walking with his brothers out of a luxury restaurant.
"Ah, yeah."
"Who are he with?
"They are his brothers."
"Now I see."

I'm very happy that he is with his hyungs. He might be very happy to see them.
Then a text came.
I looked at my phone and saw Sehun's message.
Convo:
S: Ne, are you busy?
C: Hmm.. I am with my brothers. Waeyo?
S: My brothers are also here. They are looking for you.
C: Why would they look for me though?
S: Ask them yourself.
C: Tss.... Maybe some other time.
S: Okay.
C: Enjoy your time with them. Go Huni!!!
S: Tsss. Whatever.

How cold! But I know how happy he is inside.

Sehunnie! Fighting!!!
