Cigarettes

Home

A few more days passed.
The lights were off and a small lamp was the only object that illuminated a portion of the room. Siyeon diligently wrote on her notebook as a cup of brown coffee sat beside it. A bad idea when you're writing something important. But for Siyeon, she didn't care. She could always rewrite the lyrics since she knew what to write. She had always looked in her heart for inspirations. She just had to look in her heart to know what to write, then her hand will automatically glide across the paper with a black pen as her feelings cascaded.

She wanted to let the world know her feelings. Her songs were always a hit, although most of them were ballads about love and romance. Her songs were always made from her heart.

Because Bora was always in her heart.

She felt warm every time the thought of Bora came. She would think of her during composition, during vocal training and during alone time. The woman felt a bit distracted every time she would train the artist on the right way to sing her song, Bora just wouldn't leave her mind.

Bora was the reason for her songs.

Bora was the reason for her passion.

Bora was the reason for her smile.

Bora made her, she pushed her to do what she wanted when she felt like giving up her dream. Her dream which was now true as she was sitting there, in front of her desk, composing and producing different songs for different, famous artists. And it was all thanks to Bora.

Her brain thought of future events in advance and that helped her produce more songs. One for the past, one for the present and several for the future. Though she would always keep it low-key whenever she would distribute the songs to their respective artists.
She also worked with some top producers and singers. Sometimes, all it took was a little push to get the desired, satisfying song. And Siyeon was forever thankful for the opportunities.

She looked at the clock which was ticking a few hours past midnight. She remembered a short interview she had filmed for the explanation of one of her artist's comeback song. She wanted Bora to see it, she wanted everyone to see it. She wanted them to feel her emotions, her passion, her feelings. It was a painful song, and she collaborated with the artist to produce it. They shared their ideas and Siyeon adjusted the song to his likeness without losing its original flavor.

It's original, painful, longing flavor.

She then checked her calendar and smiled at the thought of coming back home.

Home to Bora's arms.

Although Siyeon believed that she was still asleep since she hasn't received any updates from either Yoohyeon or Minji, she still wanted to be by Bora's side.

Approximately two days were left before she could come back home. She then smiled at a photo of Bora, Phil and her. She recalled past memories full of smiles and joy, which was not like now.

Her gaze then landed on a sweater which lay on the plush bed. Her favorite sweater Bora had given to her. It was still her favorite.
Siyeon then closed the notebook as she slipped into the sweater and into the warm covers. Drifting off to sleep as she thought about Bora.

"Unnie said she wanted to go out," Yoohyeon sighed, frustrated at Minji's recent behavior towards her.

"To her parents?" Minji quietly asked.

"To her parents. Then somewhere she can collect her thoughts,"

"The park then,"

"Yeah, the huge park,"

Yoohyeon forced a smile as her phone pinged, her eyes greeted by Siyeon's name on the screen indicating a message from her.
