HERMOSA

"Yun sawaddee kha~" Prim greeted Dahyun cheerfully as she went inside the shop. Dahyun was arranging the new stocks on the shelf.

"Waddee kha~" She replied to Prim.

"Today I feel so happy." Prim excitedly exclaim her feelings in the shop.

"Why is that? What happen that you feel so happy?" Dahyun asked as she continued to arrange the stocks.

"Because my long awaited album has arrived last night!"

"Album?"

"Yup! GOT7 album, Flight Log Trilogy, Flight Log: Arrival." She showed her precious album to Dahyun as she lifted it up for her to see.

"GOT7 again." Dahyun chuckled.

"Yes and now I have completed the collection. From Flight Log: Departure, Turbulence and now Arrival." Prim kept talking excitedly about GOT7's albums and Dahyun just listened to her as she usually does.

"Ah right... want to listen to it?" Prim asked for permission though she wasn't actually asking. She already put the CD inside the PC and let the music spin.

"Why ask if you will play it anyway." Dahyun laughed and the song played as they do their work and waited for customers.

The third song has ended and the next song played.

"Hey Yun, you are Korean right?" Dahyun nodded as respond to Prim's questions.

"So, that means you understand the meaning of the song very well right?" Once again Dahyun nodded as respond.

"Then, will you tell me what's the meaning of the current song?"

"Sure." Then, Prim repeat the 4th song and asked for the meaning of each lyrics. She stopped the player after every members' part.

"Oh! This is Jinyoung oppa's part!!! What does it mean?"

"Give me your sign. My longing waiting for you. Come back to me. Give me your sign. Until when will you hesitate? Just come back to me."

"Woah... Continue..."

"Wait, you know every members' voice?"

"Yes of course. I recognize all their voices, not just when they were singing but also when they were just formally talking to people."

"You really are a fans."

"Of course. Wait we had missed a few lines. Now, it's Jaebum's part."

"J-Jaebum?"

Prim stopped the player. "What does his part means?"

"Oh—It's the same as Jinyoung before. My longing waiting for you. Come back to me. Give me your sign. Until when will you hesitate? Just come back to me."

"Really? It's the same lyrics? But why did I heard Jaebum's voice is a lot sadder than Jinyoung? A girl must had left him and he was begging for her to come back. Asking for her to not hesitate and just come back to him. Whoever the girl is, please give him the sign. Ppalli!"

"Did Jaebum personally said that... he was waiting and all you said just now?" Dahyun cautiously asked the question.

Prim chuckled. "No! I was just assuming things. But, I can feel it in his voice. It's like it was true. Like this was not just a song, he definitely has experienced it."

Dahyun looked down on her hand as they fidget with each other.

"Did he, write this song?" Once again, she bravely asked it though inside she was terribly trembling.

"Unfortunately not. It's Youngjae." Prim then continue the song as Dahyun sighed in relief and also continue to translate the lyrics for Prim.

The day has ended and Prim already went home to study for her next week exam. Speaking of next week, Dahyun almost forget that she has to go to GOT7 fan signing event to get Prim their autograph.

"Is it the day after tomorrow?" She switched on her phone and clicked on the calendar.

"Oh, it's the next day of it. Why is the day passed by so quickly?" She sighed out and laid down on her bed.

"I'm not ready to meet him."

Suddenly, Prim's word replayed in her mind.

"A girl must had left him and he was begging for her to come back. Asking for her to not hesitate and just come back to him. Whoever the girl is, please give him the sign."

"Did he really felt that? He should forgot about me by now. He should forget everything. But why—"

-----

There are a lot of people in the fan sign event and Dahyun was one of it. People were squashing each other. Dahyun hated it so much. Too many people and it's too overwhelming here.

When it was her turn to get the sign, she wore the face mask hoping for the member to not recognize her. Until she finally reached in front of Jaebum. Jaebum looked up at her and smiled.

'Did he doesn't recognize me? Wait, isn't it good that he didn't recognize me? Why should I feel disappointed?'

"What's your name?" He asked in English.

"Prim. P-R-I-M." She replied hesitating.

"Okay." Jaebum replied and signed on the notebook Dahyun gave.

"You really not recognize me." She asked in Korean.

"You speak Korean very well, are you Korean?" Jaebum asked also in Korean.

"I am a native Korean." Though she was hesitating, it was so hurt when Jaebum didn't give the reaction she was hoping for. What is it that she was hoping for anyway? She has spent all the years on forgetting her past and hoping for Jaebum to also forget about her, but why now she desperately wanted to be acknowledged by this man?

"Oh, how long have you been staying in Thailand?" Jaebum asked since it was part of this event. Fan service.

"It's already for 3 years."

"Oh... Is it hard to live—"

"You don't remember me?" She cut Jaebum's sentence and asked him, she wanted to know so badly.

"What for?" Jaebum asked nonchalantly and it honestly hurts a lot. Like she was stabbed.

Is this what Jaebum felt back then when she left?

"Miss, please keep going, many people are waiting back there." The staff said and woke Dahyun up from her little nightmare. She looked at the staff and nodded.

"Sorry." She said and left the stage. She didn't even get all members' sign.

She went out of the hall and went to the bathroom. She was crying. A lot.

Tit. Tit. Tit. Tit.

Dahyun woke up in a shock. Thanks to the alarm clock, she managed to wake up from such a painful dream.

She felt that her tears were streaming down. She wiped it away from her cheeks.

"Do I have to be that sad when he didn't remember me? Do I want to be remembered? Or am I hoping for him to remember me?"

"Is it that I never want to leave him from the start?"

Dahyun closed her eyes tightly and sighed out deeply as she felt so shame over her own desire and emotion.

She can't forever deny that she doesn't love Jaebum. She had always been in love with Jaebum.
