Yoona’s Pov
“Alright.” The emcee said into her microphone “Let’s see who’s gonna rock the house next…” That was the cue. The music stopped. Eyes were looking around to the next one who will sing in front. “Volunteer?”
There's a moment of silent as she search to who ever wants to volunteer.
“How about let’s hear Yoona sing this time?” I was startled and even a little terrified. I shook my head as quickly as I could indicating that I don’t want to sing, but it was no use because Ms Hwang/Tiffany unnie, that’s what she want me to call her, pulled me up onto the front of everyone.
Everyone in the room applauded and they're cheering me up. I’m so nervous as eyes were all on me.
“Go Yoong!” It was Yuri unnie. One of Ms Jung’s friend.
Maybe you guys were curious on how am I with them. Actually it’s all because of my boss, Jessica unnie. She wants me to meet her friends so I could have more friends she said, but I told her that there no such thing needed because I’m contented of having her, Soojung and the other employee of her who became my friends. But she pursue me of meeting them because, she said they want to meet me also. I was so nervous all the way here but Jessica unnie assured me that they are all good people and she’s right.
Meeting them was nerve wrecking, why?... well because, they aren’t just a simple person, they were actually a top business woman in Seoul a long with my boss. But Jessica unnie is right that they are good people. They entertained me so well and treat me not just a visitor but a friend also. They didn’t let me to be casted out. They say, from now on, I wasn’t just only Jessica unnie’s friend/dongsaeng but also theirs. They say I should treat them normally like how I treated Jessica unnie when we aren’t on the office. They are fun to be with. And I can’t still believe that I’m having fun with these well-known woman.
“Yoong, come on, just one song.” It was Taeyeon unnie this time. She was Tiffany unnie’s girlfriend and the owner of this fancy house.
In a brief moment I immediately got close to all of them. They all aren't just good looking one, even their heart was good too.
“Hey, Yoong don’t be nervous, it’s just us.” Hyoyeon unnie joked.
It was funny on how they love the nickname they gave to me. It was the nickname Jessica unnie gave to me also.
“Come on, Yoona-yah, come on~~~” said Taeyeon unnie.
My hands started to sweat. I got more nervous with the cheering.
I’m stuck and there’s no way I can escape this moment.
“I’ll sing with you.”
Everyone started to cheered when Jessica unnie made her way beside me and took the other microphone on the table where the food is.
Oh, at least this is less nervous that I have someone to sing with me.
She let me choose the song but I was still nervous that I can’t even hold the iPad properly, so she did it for me.
After choosing a song we agreed to sing, (light up the sky by snsd ot8) she gave me an assuring smile which I failed to returned, instead I gave her an unsure smile that made her giggle beside me.
Before I could faint or throw up from fear, the music started and Jessica unnie started singing.
Thinking ‘bout you
Eodijjeum isseonni nan jeongmal dallajin ge eopseo
Meoreojin dwiro cham himdeureotji neol ijeoya haesseunikka
Siganeun musimhi jina uri chueokdo baraega
Meoreojineun du mam I can’t let it go
Hajiman mitja uri hamkkehan gieongmaneun seonmyeonghanikka
I was mesmerized on how beautiful her voice is and I can’t really take my eyes out of her as she sang the lyrics without looking at the screen.
Her part was about to end and mine is about to start.
Well, here it goes. Might as well make the best out of it.
I started singing, softly and carefully and I could barely get the words out. It was all I can do as I read the lyrics on the screen trying to stay in tune
Dasi son jabajwo Just one more time jal doel geoya
Urin seororeul sesang jeil jal aljana
Stay with me day and night
Sarangman chaolla pieonadorok
And light up the sky
The sky
All right I can do this. It’s not too terrible. But I’m still nervous to really belt the song.
Jessica unnie and I kept singing alternating the line of the song. As my eyes met hers I experienced something I never had before. I felt a warm glow flood through my body. And when she smile, my heart started to mess up inside me.
The line came when we need to sang together. With the smile she was giving me right now, it was encouraging me to be confident. I forgotten my nervousness and I’m starting to enjoy myself. Unnie and I sang more boldly, loudly with more self-assurance as we never took our eyes off on each other.
Dasi son jabajwo Just one more time jal doel geoya
Urin seororeul sesang jeil jal aljana
Stay with me day and night
Sarangman chaolla pieonadorok
And light up the sky
(Don’t be afraid, my love)
Baby, light up the sky
(Don’t be afraid, my love)
Baby, light up the sky
When the song was over, everyone in the house applauded and cheered. Both Unnie and I smiled on each other, I'm breathless and a little stunned by what had just happened.
I felt excited and fizzy feeling inside, as if the world had just become a lot more fun.
“You have an awesome voice.” Said Seohyun, after Jessica unnie and I took our previous seat after the impromptu performance.
“I don’t think so.” I said after I gulp the glass shot of soju.
“No kidding, you really have a great voice.” Sooyoung unnie commented and everyone nodded their heads at the same time.
“You’re a little shy but you sounds like you’ve done a lot of singing before.” Sunny unnie stated.
“Oh sure, lots. My showered is very impressed with me.” I said jokingly and everyone cracked up with it.
Throughout the night, we had fun enjoying ourselves to the beat of music. They sang, they dance while I watched them happily. Sometimes I would join them but most of the time I was seated and just cheering them. I made friends with the people I thought it was impossible to, but I actually did. And my night became extremely fun because of these new people I know I’m going to cherish in the future. Well, all thanks to Jessica unnie, the reason of all of this.
