I'll Never Forget.. I Promise Part 1 by crazyazngurl
[i]Note: This is a fanfic I wrote about Taebin and Se7en, Korean gasoos... Se7en‘s real name is Dongwook Choi. The first 10 chapters are written in normal text, but the text begins to appear different from Chapter 11 and on. Please don't mind this! This is fiction, remember! And finally, please enjoy it![/i]
[b][u]I'll Never Forget.. I Promise[/u][/b]
Prologue
I’m afraid of forgetting. No matter how much time has passed, no matter how many people tell me to do it..... I will never forget someone like you. I promise.
Chapter 1
“Betcha can’t catch meee!” Taebin yelled to me as he ran across the field.
“Oh yes I can!” I exclaimed, running towards him. As I was getting closer, I tripped over a rock and yelled out in pain. “OWWWWW! My knee!!!”
Taebin ran towards me immediately and lifted up my leg to examine the wound.
“Aww poor baby, you’re bleeding!” He pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around my scraped knee. Then, he kissed me on the cheek.
“My poor Kim! Does that ease the pain?” he said, smiling at me. His smile was so entrancing.... and it reminded me so much of the first time I met him, 3 years ago. I was in the 7th grade, and he was in the 8th.
*Flashback*
I was standing in the corner feeling lonely. It was our annual school dance, but again for the 2nd year I had nobody to dance with. I could feel tears forming in my eyes but I tried to not cry.
“Would you like to dance?” I heard a voice say. I looked up to see a tall, handsome guy smiling at me. I had seen him in the halls and knew that he was a grade above me. I wondered why he asked me.... I wasn’t even pretty like the other girls who followed him around constantly!
“umm....” I said, not knowing what to say. I thought it was a cruel joke!
“Please? I don’t have anybody else to dance with!” He smiled at me again. He had such a gorgeous smile. I didn’t understand why he lied, though. He had so many beautiful girls who asked him to dance.
“I.... umm.... okay..” I replied, apprehensively. He took my hand and led me to the dance floor. His warm touch made me shiver as he put his arms around my waist. From that day on, he was like my security blanket. He was always there for me and never let anything bad happen to me.
*Back to the present*
“Do you feel better?” He asked as he kissed me again lightly on the cheek. I giggled and forgot about the little pain in my knee. He pulled me up and brought me to a hill to watch the sunset. I laid my head on his lap and smiled as I looked at his face.
“I love you so much Taebin.” I said.
“Really? Aww, that sucks.... cuz I definitely don’t love you!”
He said looking down at me and sticking his tongue out.
“Awww why do you always have to ruin the moment you dork!!” I knew that he really loved me a lot. He always gave up so much for me. Gazing into his eyes, seeing the hues of the setting sun, and just being in his embrace made this one moment feel so perfect...
just so right. I was definitely lucky a lucky girl.
“Taebin, what have you always dreamed of doing when you‘re older?” I asked.
“Hmmm.... well I’ve always loved singing.”
“Eww you fruit!!” I said laughing at him. “Sing me a song, you fruit. Hehehe.” I imagined him having an awful voice, because he was so
strong and manly.... instead, I was in complete shock as he opened
his mouth, singing for me.
“You are so beautiful.... to me....can’t you see? You’re everything I hoped for. You’re everything I needed. You are so beautiful to me.” It was simply amazing. He was a remarkable singer and I
never knew.
“Hey... what if one day we could be a famous group together! We
could duet love songs forever and ever.” We talked for hours about
how fun it would be if we could tour together, just in each other's
arms... singing. When finally we had to go home, I hugged him tightly
and said goodbye. It was so wonderful to have him care for me.
Chapter 2
That day at school, I was trying to find Taebin before first period started because I made him a lunch. I finally found him behind the school but before I walked over to him, I stopped dead in my tracks, listening to his conversation with some girl.
“You’re soo hott, Taebin. You know you’d rather have a girl like me than that stupid little Kim girl. She’s SO not worth your time!” I watched the girl reach up and kiss Taebin on the lips. I didn’t know what to do.... so I ran off angrily.
*Lunch time*
“Kim!! Wait up!” Taebin yelled, trying to catch up with me. I kept walking faster. I still couldn’t believe he kissed that girl! How could he?
“Kim, what’s wrong? Tell me! What did I do?” He kept trying to stop me from running away.
“I KNEW YOU REALLY DIDN’T LOVE ME.... just go on kissing other girls. I don’t care anymore!” I said, crying. Taebin stopped running after me and suddenly I heard chuckling. My goodness... chuckling? What could be funny about that?
“What the....! How is that funny?” I shouted, irritably.
“I can’t.. believe.... you.. HAHA.... thought I was kissing that girl!” He said, trying to catch his breath from laughing so much.
“Well, I saw it plainly with my own eyes!”
“Did you also see me push her away and yell at her?” He said, this time looking me seriously in the eyes. “I can’t believe you’d actually think I’d do that to you, Kim.”
I felt so bad. Why did I just assume things so quickly and run off. I guess it was because I was so insecure that he’d easily leave me one day for someone prettier. Sometimes I felt like I didn’t deserve him.... that I wasn’t worth his love.
“I’m sorry, Taebin. I’m so sorry!!” I hugged him tightly and cried in his arms.
“It’s okay, Kim. I still love you.... even when you’re a slow dork!” He said laughing at me.
*Later that night at home*
“Kim! You have a phone call!” My mom yelled from the kitchen.
“I got it, mom!” I picked up the phone and said “hello?”
“Kim? It’s Mrs. Im, remember? Taebin’s mom.”
“Oh hi Mrs. Im! How are you?”
“Well, I have some bad news.”
“What? What is it, Mrs. Im?”
“After school, Taebin was walking home and some girl’s boyfriend stabbed him several times and beat him up. They are unsure of his condition right now.... you can come to the hospital with me right now if you want.”
I dropped the phone and grabbed my jacket, running out of the house. As I ran to the hospital I was crying, I was so afraid. Could it have been that girl who tried to kiss him? Oh what did it matter.... I just wanted him to be okay!
*At the hospital*
I was so afraid of what I might see if I turned this doorknob. I stared at it, contemplating. What would I see behind this door? I slowly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open to see my dear Taebin, lying there. He was asleep. I held his hand and looked at his face. I couldn’t understand why anybody would want to harm him. He was the sweetest guy ever. I really wanted him to wake up. I wanted him to smile at me and tell me he’s doing okay. His left eye was red and puffy. There was a cut on his cheek. His lip was bleeding. His hair looked ruffed up. It made me wince to look at the pain marked on his face. I put my head in my hands and cried.... I was so concerned... what would happen?
-BEEEEEEP-
I jumped at the sound. What was it? It couldn’t be.... no.... not now!! This just wasn't fair. As millions of thoughts came bouncing through my helpless little mind, I watched with much distress as the nurse rushed in and told me to go out of the room. I sat in the chair outside and was so afraid. Why? Not now.... it can’t be now. The door opened after what felt like an eternity of sitting frozen in time having millions of thoughts go through my mind.
“Excuse me, miss?” the nurse said.
“.... yes?” I answered weakly. I had no idea what to expect for her to say... a part of me had this little glint of hope... maybe. Just maybe. Maybes and what ifs filled my mind when I finally came back to reality, staring into her eyes with hopelessness.
“It seems as if you knew the person in here.... and I suppose I have to tell you that.... well....”
“.....” I looked up at her, and didn’t want to hear what I was about to hear.
“Well, it seems as if he has.... passed away. What happened was --” before I could listen to what happened to him, I ran out of the hospital. I ran and ran and ran. I didn’t know where I was going but I couldn’t stop running. I wanted to run away from this. It was absolutely unfair. The only person who ever cared for me was gone now. How could he leave me so quickly? Why did he? He never gives up.... I didn’t want to believe this. So many thoughts were running through my head and I wanted to go home and cry in my mom’s arms. I felt dizzy and the whole world was spinning. My heart felt like it had given up and I fell to my knees and everything turned black.
Chapter 3
“It was you who saved me.... who loved me true
It was you, baby.... it was you....” I sang.
“Great job, Kim. Your best recording yet. You’re done for the day.” Tom, my manager, said.
I walked out of the studio to grab some lunch when I clumsily ran into someone and fell over.
“OWWWW!!” I said rubbing my head. A hand reached out and pulled me up.
“Are you okay?” the guy I bumped into said.
“Yeah.... er.... sorry for running into you. My bad.”
“No, it’s quite alright. You can pay me back though.” The guy said, grinning at me like a little boy. Even though he looked my age, something about him seemed so boyish.
“Huh? Excuse me?” I said, baffled. Honestly, what kind of person says that?
“I was going to go to lunch and it looks like you were too.... so you can buy me lunch!” He grinned at me again. It made me giggle.
“Haha.... umm.... okay.... I guess I do owe you since I made you drop all your things.” I said, pointing to the broken CD on the ground. I picked it up and saw a big 7 on the cover. I opened it up, not thinking about the fact that it was someone else’s property. It had pictures of him in it.
“What’s.... this?” I said, nosily.
“My new CD!” He said, still with a stupid grin on his face.
“You’re a singer too?” I asked curiously.
“Yeah! You mean.... you didn’t know who I was?”
I felt kind of stupid.... judging from his good looks and CD, he must’ve been pretty famous.
“So.... are you going to quit examining my CD and take me out to lunch or no?”
“Oh.... err.... yeah.” I said, handing him back his CD.
“Thank you very much.... uh.... what’s your name?” He asked me.
“Kim.... and you?”
“Se7en!” I giggled at his name. How silly!
“Alright.... umm.... Se7en. Let’s go.”
*At a restaurant*
“So.... what were you doing in the recording studio? Are you famous too?” He asked me while we ate.
“Umm.... well hopefully I will be one day! I’m recording my CD right now.... so hopefully it comes out well.”
"Do you want to sing together on some of your tracks?" He asked. It seemed so strange that he’d want to sing with me even before knowing if I was good or not.
“Actually, yeah!" It was strange.... I hadn’t really talked to many guys since Taebin died.
“Well, we work in the same company so I’m sure we could do it!”
*After lunch*
“Well, it was great meeting you Kim. I hope to see you around soon again.... and we can do some recording together. I’m sure it would be so much fun performing with you. Thanks for the lunch!” He waved at me and smiled.
“No problem. See ya around, Se7en!”
I know I’ll never fall in love again, but it doesn’t hurt to have a nice friend for once.... right? Taebin.... I lived your dream for you. I’m singing.... for you. If only you were here today.....
Chapter 4
“Kim!!!” I knew it was Se7en so I turned around.
“Kim! How are you? You’re looking marvelous!” I looked down at my outfit. I was wearing sweatpants and a hooded sweatshirt.... what a weirdo!
“Hey Se7en! I’m doing good. Wanna go in and listen to some of my tracks?” I asked. Boy did he look good wearing baggy pants, a jacket, and a hat.
“Sure! Hopefully you don’t suck cuz we might not be able to be friends anymore!” he joked, sticking his tongue out at me. It reminded me of how Taebin had always joked around with me like that. I stared at him.... he was definitely very different from Taebin but sometimes he reminded me of him so much.
“Uh.... Kim.... I was only kidding, girl. Sorry.... I guess it was kinda rude of me to joke around so much even though we haven’t been friends long....” he said. I could tell he was really apologetic and it was so adorable!
“Haha.... naw.... it’s straight. Umm.... well let’s go in. You can meet my manager!”
“Sure.” Se7en was such a gentleman. He opened the door for me and smiled.
“Hey Tom! I’m sure you probably already know Se7en. He came to listen to some of my tracks.” I said.
“Alright.” Tom replied.
Se7en listened to some of my tracks and smiled at me.
“Wow, girl! You ARE good!” His compliment brought a grin to my face. After he listened to some of my tracks, we went out to dinner.
*At dinner*
“So.... tell me about your first love, Kim.” Se7en said as we ate dinner. I looked at him and was hesitant about telling him. It had been many years so maybe it was time to talk about it.
“Well, the first guy to ever talk to me and the first guy to ever tell me I was beautiful was my first love. We loved each other a lot for 4 years when he died. There was a girl who tried to make him like her instead of him liking me.... and he yelled at her. That day, the girl’s new boyfriend stabbed him and beat him up.” It was the first time I had ever said the story out loud. It sounded like such a strange story.... it didn’t even sound like my story. It seemed almost like a hazy dream or a Korean drama I watched and confused with my own life.
“Wowwwww.... that is really really sad.... I am so sorry, girl.” Se7en said, pouting at me.
“Ah, don’t be sorry. It’s alright.” I said, even though it really wasn’t alright. I could never forget someone like him. “Oh well, now that I’ve told you my long first love story, tell me yours.”
“Well, I don’t think it really was love. I liked this girl for a really long time and she always ignored me but finally she noticed me. She pretended to like me but then I found out in the end that she only did it to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.”
“Awwww.... that’s so sad. I’m sorry, Se7en. It seems like so many first love stories are sad.” I said. I felt bad for him.... had he really not loved before? Poor thing.
“Naw, it’s alright. She was real slutty so she probably has like 17 kids with 20 different fathers!” Se7en said and snorted.
“HAHA! Dummy! How can there be more fathers than kids!” I joked at him. He was so cute.
“Because.... uhh.... *counts on fingers*. Oh....” he stuck his tongue out at me again. Often times, I'd feel insecure about talking with guys so I always held myself back from becoming too close.
“Err.... well.... I think maybe it’s time to go home or something....” I said. I could see disappointment spread across his face.
“Oh.... yeah.... lemme take you home....”
“Naw, it’s alright. I can get home by myself. Thanks for dinner Se7en.”
“No problem, Kim. I hope to see you tomorrow!” Se7en waved me goodbye and I went home.
Chapter 5
I was at home sleeping when suddenly my phone rang.
“Hello?” I asked groggily. It was my day off and my manager was calling me. Ah!
“Kim?? Se7en needs your help. It seems that he was supposed to perform with Lexy but her flight was delayed and she wont be back here in time. Can you please fill in? You’re the only person who can do it and do it well!”
“But.... it’s my day off....” I said. But then I remembered how I inconsiderately ended the dinner when he didn’t do anything wrong. “Oh, what the heck. I’ll do it.” I said, enthusiastically.
“Good, Kim! Get dressed and hurry over here. Maybe it’ll be a good way to promote your CD before it comes out.”
“Alright, Tom. See you in half an hour.”
I quickly got dressed and met with Tom and Se7en.
“Kim!!! You’re here! Thanks so much for saving me, girl!” Se7en said, hugging me.
“Yeah.... now YOU owe me!” I said, jokingly. Se7en headed out onto the stage and gave an introduction. I could hear from backstage.
“Good evening everybody! Tonight, we have a very special guest tonight. Hopefully you’ll leave remembering her name! Everybody.... I’d like to introduce KIM!”
I was so nervous that my brain was delayed a few seconds before I walked out on stage. The crowd was absolutely huge! Se7en was definitely very famous!
“Hello everybody! I’m Kim!” I waved and bowed. Suddenly, all the anxiety left my body.
Se7en and I sang many songs together and even danced. I couldn’t believe I remembered all the lyrics and dance steps in such a short period of time. The crowd seemed very pleased and I was very excited about one day having a crowd like this all to myself!
*After the performance*
“Kim! You did FRICKIN’ AWESOME out there, girl!” Se7en high fived me.
“Thanks so much Se7en! You are a fantastic performer. You have SO much energy up there!” I complimented him. I was so amazed by his talent and I felt so lucky to have been able to perform with him for my first performance.
“Everybody’s going out to celebrate tonight. Lexy finally got into town and wants to thank you.... are ya gonna come?” Se7en asked me. He gave me a puppy dog face and I couldn’t resist but to accept his invitation.
*That night*
“Everybody, let’s have a drink to Kim.... the saver of the performance tonight!” Lexy said, holding up her glass of wine. I smiled and everybody put their glass to the middle.
“Yay for Kim!” Se7en cheered. After a few drinks, everybody was ready to go home.
“Kim, thanks again for saving the performance tonight. I’m going to try my best to help you be famous to pay you back.... okay?” Se7en gave me his best smile and I smiled back at him.
“Thanks again, Se7en. I think I benefited more from tonight than you have, though.” I said. Se7en hugged me and waved me goodbye.
I went home and looked at a picture of Taebin. Oh how I missed him so much. Oh how I wished he was here to duet with me. Oh how I’ve longed to be in his arms again. Why.....
Chapter 6
I visited Taebin’s grave and sang him a song. It happened way too fast. I wanted to grow old with him. I wanted to be 70, and look back on my life with him. I wanted to be by his side until the very end. I wanted him to love me while my face sagged to the ground. I wanted to love him while he lost his hair and teeth. I wanted for him to be here still..... to be with me. After visiting his grave, I went to the studio to practice dances for my new singles.
“Kiiiiiimmmmm.... this is a ghost.... here.... to.... KEEL YOU! Dun dun dun!” Se7en popped out of the door into the studio and started to run around me in circles.
“HAHA! Se7en! What are you doing here?” I asked, watching him dance around me like a little boy.
“I was practicing some dances.... I knew it. You like me don’t you. You’re following me, aren’t you? *sigh* I’m sorry to have to reject you so harshly but.... I don’t go for girls with....” Se7en looked at me.
“err.. I don’t go for girls with.... feet.” his eyes darted around and I raised an eyebrow at him.
“Alright.... erm.... anyway. Want to dance with me?” I asked him. I knew he was a remarkable dancer from that performance we had together. It would be great to have him help me.
“No.... I told you.... I don’t like girls with feet!” I laughed at him.
“Okay, Kim.... just this once I’ll make an exception for youu~” He helped me think of dance moves for some of my songs when I heard the door open.
“Se7en oppaaaa!” a girl came running into the room, hugging Se7en. I looked at this girl. She was definitely cute, but I thought Se7en had said he’d never fallen in love.
“Hi Sarah....” Se7en said looking at me. I raised an eyebrow again.
“Kim, this is Sarah. She’s one of my backup dancers. I suppose she wants to practice with us.” Se7en said. Sarah just glanced at me for a minute and rolled her eyes before looking back at Se7en.
“No silly! I’ve come here to bring you lunch.” the girl said, excitedly.
“Umm.... sorry Sarah but it would be rude of me to eat and not offer anything to Kim.” Se7en said looking back at me.
“Oh, it’s alright! I don’t mind.... actually I think I was gonna go home for lunch or something. I guess I’ll see you around, Se7en....” I said. As I left I could hear Se7en behind me, trying to make me come back but I didn’t feel like being around when that girl was. Why did I feel so disappointed?
*RING RING*
“Hello?” I asked.
“Hey Kim.” It was Se7en.
“Oh hey....” I said.
“I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. I don’t really like Sarah but I don’t want to be mean to her. She’s really a very nice person. Why don’t we all go out to lunch? Please?” Se7en asked. Every time he asked me for something or invited me to do something, I could never refrain from accepting. I would stare into his pure brown eyes, gazing at me just pleading and I could never refuse.
“Oh alright. Let’s meet.” I said.... trying to sound excited. I wasn’t looking forward to seeing Sarah again. She was an eccentric maniac or something.
I walked into the restaurant and saw Se7en waving at me and Sarah staring at Se7en intensely. I walked over to their table and sat down.
“Hi Se7en. Hi Sarah.” I smiled and greeted them.
“Hey Kim.... we’ve already ordered but you can order now.” Se7en said. While I was waiting for my food, I watched in disgust as Sarah attempted to feed Se7en.
“Say AH!” Sarah said, holding out a bite of her food. Se7en glanced at me and opened his mouth slightly.
“Now say DELICIOUS!” Sarah said smiling at him and tilting her head. I couldn’t look at this horrible sight for much longer.
“Okay.... anyway. Kim, how’s the album going?” Se7en asked, trying to avoid Sarah’s creepiness.
“Oh, it seems to be going well. I’m looking forward to hopefully having it released by December 30th. If not, sooner!” I replied.... watching Sarah pout from being ignored.
“Yeah, okay. Anyway.... what are we going to do after lunch, Se7en?” Sarah said, batting her eyelashes at him.
“Umm.... actually I think me and Kim have gotta practice dancing.”
“Oh can I come?” Sarah asked, making a puppy face. That was one ugly puppy!!
“Actually, I don’t think other people are authorized to see her moves until her first performance. Other than me and the people who work with her.” Se7en said with a straight face. Boy was he good at lying!!
Se7en dropped Sarah off at the bus stop and drove to the studio with me. While practicing dancing, I realized how much he reminded me that it was okay to have fun and it was okay to smile.
Chapter 7
Today was the release of my 1st album, and tonight was my first performance by myself. I was so nervous but Se7en was backstage with me.
“Kim, don’t worry.... all these people probably watched you perform with me and they’re here cuz they want more! You’re awesome, girl!” I took deep breaths. What if I forgot all my dance moves? At least Se7en would be in some parts of my performance to ease my anxiety.
“Everybody put your hands together for Kim!” the announcer said. I put on a huge smile and jumped out of the curtains. I began singing and thankfully I didn’t forget any of the dance moves. The crowd was cheering.... this time for sure they were cheering for me!
“Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim!” the crowd chanted when I finished the performance and walked off stage.
As soon as I got backstage I felt someone’s strong arms hug me.
“Kim, you did it! Girl you rocked this place!” Se7en said straight in my ear. It tickled and I shivered a little.
“Aww thanks, Se7en! I was so nervous! Thanks for helping me out!” I smiled at him.
“I didn’t do anything.... that was all you, Kim. Man.... you better not start getting better than me!” He laughed at me. I loved his sense of humor and childish sarcastic comments. He always gave me a little smile to cheer me up.
“Kay, so we gotta celebrate! You pick the place, Se7en!”
Se7en drove me to a dance club and I was surprised. I thought about it and I had never really been to one before.
Se7en was an awesome dancer and I felt so inferior dancing with him. I lost track of time while I was with him and we danced all night long. Once we left the club, I looked at the clock in the car and it was 4 a.m. I had never stayed out this late before.
“KIM! I am SO sorry for keeping you out so late! I didn’t mean to.... I mean I just didn’t pay attention to the time!” Se7en said. His face was so cute when he was apologetic.
“It’s okay.... it’s my fault for not paying attention too.” I yawned.
“I’ll take you home right away!” Se7en said. I tried to keep awake but I just fell asleep in the car.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a big huge bed in a big huge room. I looked out the window and saw the sun brightly shining and illuminating the room, blinding my eyes as it tried to focus. When I got out of bed, I looked and I was wearing a baggy t-shirt. There was no way.... he wouldn’t.... would he?
“Se7en....? Se7en....? Hello....?” I called out walking down the long hallway. This house was huge!
“Good morning, Kim! I’m Grace!” a girl said as she walked out of one of the rooms. She looked 5 or 6 years younger than Se7en and me.
“Are you..... Se7en’s sister or something?” I asked.
“Yeah! Don’t think Se7en’s a perv or anything, I’m the person who undressed you. You were wearing a really pretty dress and it would’ve been uncomfortable to sleep in.” She said. I examined her and could see the resemblance. She definitely had the same eyes and lips as Se7en. She also definitely seemed too smart to be his sister, though.
“Okay. Do you know where Se7en is?” I asked.
“In the kitchen.... he’s making breakfast.” Grace replied before walking to another room. I went to the end of the hallway and went down a huge staircase. The wood was really cold on my bare feet. Finally, I found the kitchen and saw Se7en in an apron, cutting onions.
“PUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” I burst out laughing. Se7en turned around and his apron said “Kiss the Cook”
“WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!” I said, rolling on the floor laughing. Se7en pouted and said “I didn’t want to get my pajamas messy.” He was so adorable in pajamas and an apron.
“What are you cooking?” I asked him standing beside him. He was so tall and handsome.
“Some soup. Do you like vegetable soup?” he asked. Did I?! I’d always found it charming when a guy can cook!
“Honestly, I eat anything and everything!” I said, stealing a slice of tomato and eating it plain. Se7en made a funny face at me and I giggled.
“Thanks for taking care of me when I fell asleep, Se7en. I was afraid I might wake up on a street corner in a cardboard box beside some bum.” I said, stirring the soup. It looked so yummy.
“No problem.... but we have to eat breakfast fast and get to the studio to see how many CD’s you sold the first day!” Se7en said. I had forgotten all about my album’s release. He finally finished cooking and it was delicious. I was so amazed at his talent for cooking. Such a multi-talented person Se7en was. I smiled at him, deep in thought when he looked back at me.
"What are you staring at?" He asked wiping his mouth where soup was hiding in the crevice of his lip.
"Nothing." I replied, still smiling at him.
Chapter 8
“Hurry up!” Se7en yelled to me as I tried to get dressed quickly out of my house to go to the studio.
“I’m hurrying!” I said, running out of my house still trying to adjust my clothes. We arrived to the studio and I was so nervous because I wasn’t sure how many albums I’d sell. I wanted to know so bad! We rushed in and greeted Tom.
“Hi Tom!” me and Se7en both said.
“Hey Kim, Hey Se7en.” Tom said with a straight face. He was definitely taunting me so that I couldn’t see the results from the look of his face!
“So......?” I asked, anxiously.
“Well.... it seems that for your first day, you sold.....” I looked at his face and was about to pee in my pants.
“TOM! YOU’RE FIRED!” I yelled furiously.
“Okay Okay Okay!!! You sold over 20,000 albums your first day!!!” It was amazing. I couldn’t believe it. I would’ve been happy with just 1,000 or something. This was huge! Se7en and I were jumping up and down in joy!
“YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB, KIM!” Se7en shouted as we jumped in joy. He hugged me tightly and I could feel tears getting ready to fall. I was overjoyed!
“Girl we have GOT to celebrate with everybody tonight!” Se7en said.
*That night*
I put on a pink dress and decided to dress up for once. I put my hair down, which was rare. I usually wore it conservatively in a ponytail. I put on sparkling ear rings and wore high heels. Which was also, for me, a rarity. I heard a car honk and Se7en was at my house waiting for me.
“Just a minute!” I yelled trying to lock my door and not fall at the same time.
Se7en stared passionately at me and it really scared me because I’d never seen his eyes look so intense.
“Uhh.... sorry I’m looking for Kim? You know that dull lookin’ girl who lives here?” Se7en said sticking his tongue out at me like he usually did.
“Oh yeah and I was looking for the crazy weirdo who was supposed to pick me up. You must be him!” I said, opening the car door.
“So are you ready to PARTAY, Kimmayy?” Se7en asked, turning up one of the tracks from my CD.
“Yeah! Ready as ever!” I said.
“Alright!” We finally arrived and saw everybody from the company.
“Hey look everybody.... it’s Kim! The princess of the day!” yelled Teddy from 1tym. He was always so lively.
“Hi everybody!” I said, waving. Se7en and I sat down. We had a few drinks before everybody was ready to go home.
“Awww, the party’s already over.” Se7en said, pouting at me. I felt so bad for him when he pouted at me.
“It’s okay, we can have an after party! You choose the destination.” I said, smiling at him. His face lit up.
“Alright.... STRIP CLUB IT IS!” Se7en jumped up excitedly.
“Errr.... I don’t think so.” I said poking at him.
“Mkay.... well I have a surprise place to go to!” Se7en said. We went into his car and he wrapped a handkerchief around my eyes.
“Now no peeking okay?” Se7en said. I promised not to peek and I didn’t, but it was tempting. Finally he said, “We’re here!” I uncovered my eyes and looked out the window. It was the beach and I hadn’t been to the beach ever since I dated Taebin. I remembered how beautiful it looked at night. It was such a lovely sight.... the dazzling moon reflected on the serene sounding ocean.
“Wow, Se7en.... it’s so beautiful.” I said, astonished by the picture perfect scene.
“Yeah.... it is gorgeous isn’t it.” Se7en said, leading me to sit on the sand with him.
“I think I finally know my first love story, Kim.” Se7en said to me as I stared out across the ocean.
“There was this cute girl who ran into me one day. She didn’t know that she ran into me at the perfect time. I was still getting over a girl named Caroline. Well, that cute girl never knows it but she’s always the reason I smile. Ever since the first time I saw her, I knew she was the person I needed in my life. I hope that one day that cute girl will know my feelings for her.” Se7en said these words with such passion that I felt like I was going to break down with each word he said. The way he spoke was so poetic.
“Aww.... that’s so cute. I really hope she realizes your feelings soon, Se7en! Why didn’t you tell me that story earlier?” I asked. She sounded like such a good person. I wish I was able to change people like that girl he was talking about could.
“Ahh.... it’s getting a little late, isn’t it? It’s about time we should go home. C’mon, let’s go Kim.” Se7en said. I wondered why he wanted to shorten this moment so quickly. I was having so much fun.
“Umm.... okay....” I said. The car ride home was quiet this time.... not as lively. When we arrived to my house, Se7en didn’t seen as enthusiastic as he usually was.
“Alright.... I’ll see you tomorrow, Kim.”
“Yeah.... see ya!” I waved at him and he gave me a slight smile before driving off. It was so strange for him to behave so unenthusiastically. I suppose he was tired from the long night... but I wish he didn't act so different.
Chapter 9
“Se7en!” I called as I was walking towards the studio for practice.
Se7en turned around and smiled, giving me reassurance that I didn’t do anything wrong last night.
“Hey hun. Wanna practice with me? I wanna give the fans a better show next time to live up to my expectations!” I said, linking my arm with his.
“Ah, I don’t think I can. I promised Sarah I’d practice with her today.” he said, unlinking his arms.
“Umm.... okay.... I suppose I’ll talk to you later then.” I said, rather disappointed. As I opened the door to the studio, I was trampled by Sarah.
“SE7EN OPPAAAAAA!” the girl screamed as she jumped onto Se7en’s neck and kissed him on the cheek.
“Hey, girl.” Se7en said, not seeming as disgusted as he usually was. I turned around and watched Sarah link her arm with his and walk into the studio. I wondered why Se7en was acting so strange today.
*In the studio*
“Oppa, I made you a lunch! We can eat it together after we practice!” Sarah said, trying to find a CD.
“Okay, thanks.” Se7en said, sitting on the floor adjusting his pants. I couldn’t stand it anymore and I walked in.
“Hi, do you think I can practice with you guys?” I asked. Sarah looked up at me giving me an evil stare.
“Umm.... well, I don’t think Sarah wanted anybody else to be here while we practiced. She’s a little shy about her moves until she’s practiced a lot.” Se7en said, not even looking me in the eye. It hurt a lot to see him like this. We had become so close but now he was being so cold to me. I didn’t understand why.
“Oh.... alright. I’m sorry. I’ll go then. Bye.” I waited for Se7en to respond but he didn’t seem to have any reaction to me anymore. I walked out of the studio and went inside another room. Walking up to the microphone, I sang my heart out. I closed my eyes and could feel my face dampening while tears poured like rain down my face. I didn’t care to open my eyes. I wasn’t sure if the words flowing out my mouth were for Taebin or.... someone else. I had never felt my heart beat around anybody but Taebin. I promised him, right after he died that I would never forget him. But.... does loving someone new necessarily mean that I forget? Did Taebin want me to love someone other than him? I couldn’t stop wondering.... what if he was still here. If he saw me with someone new, wouldn’t he be hurt? But.... at the same time, he’d want me to be happy. He’d want me to be free. I sang with all the passion in my body when I felt a warm hand wipe the tears off my face. I opened my eyes and saw Se7en’s bright face staring straight into my eyes. His eyes sent a chill down my spine and my heart began to beat rapidly.
“Kim, I....” Se7en began to speak, his words once again melting my heart. I ran out of there as fast as I could. Why? Why did my heart want to love someone new? I wanted to only be his friend.... I just needed someone to be there for me sometimes but now I was beginning to.... like him. No, I was beginning to truly love him. I didn’t want to love anybody but Taebin. He was my first love. Your first love must last forever and there should never be a second one. I was wronging Taebin! I shouldn’t ever forget him! My heart wasn’t working right or something. It only belonged to Taebin. My heart felt as heavy as it did the night Taebin died. I could feel the world spinning again and I felt so dizzy. I fell onto my knees as the world around me began to darken. It was exactly like the scene where I ran from Taebin's death.
“Kim, are you alright? Are you okay? Can you hear me?” I could hardly make out the words. I opened my eyes and slowly the world came into focus. At first I just saw a figure and finally I saw Se7en’s face close to mine, with concern all over it. I felt relief throughout my body and the tension I had began to slowly heal itself.
“Kim.... Kim!” I looked around me and saw a hospital room. I had never been to the hospital before.... not even the night that I collapsed. My parents found me and just brought me home.
“You’re awake!” Se7en said. He looked very tired. His hand was holding mine and my hand felt sweaty. He obviously had been holding my hand for a long time.
“What.... happened?” I asked. I had the worst headache.
“You passed out and you’ve been asleep for 2 days now.” Se7en said. The way he spoke, with such worry made me feel warm inside. I missed having someone that cared for me.
“Oh no.... why have I been asleep so long?” I asked. The night I collapsed when Taebin died, I only stayed unconscious for a few hours.
“Well.... it seems that your heart is weak. You’ve always had a genetically weak heart but it's as if it’s gotten weaker as you grew older. Not until maybe a few years ago did it begin to be this fragile.” I was so surprised. I didn’t understand. I didn’t have a weak heart.... it was strong. Taebin was in my heart so my heart has to be tough.
“Se7en.... let’s leave.” I said. I didn’t want to feel like a sick person. I didn’t need to stay in the hospital for a single second longer.
“Are you sure? You still need you rest. You still don’t look very healthy. Don’t worry, I’ll still stay here.” Se7en was so kind. I couldn’t understand how he could still be so kind after all the times I’ve run out on him.
“Please.... please let me leave, Se7en.” I said. I really didn’t want to be here.
“Okay, let’s get your clothes and we’ll go.” I got dressed and he helped me into his car. The whole ride home I just stared at his face. Every feature seemed perfectly put together. His lips looked so beautiful as he spoke.
“What are you staring at, you dork?” Suddenly I thought about Taebin. All the times he had called me a dork and made fun of me. I looked out the window and felt tears running down my eyes again.
“Oh.... I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.... I’m so sorry.” Se7en said. Once again, his apologetic face made me feel so guilty. I never admitted to him that those times I had looked away from him were because moments where I had sudden flashbacks of Taebin.
“No, you didn’t do anything wrong.” I felt like a horrible person. Why did he always feel obligated to apologize for everything?
“Thank you so much for taking care of me.” I said to Se7en as I walked into my house. He waved at me and I smiled. His compassion was so inspiring. Nobody had ever cared for me this much except for Taebin. The picture of him I had so carefully engraved in my mind was muddled, as I entered my house and put my purse on the counter, I forced myself to sit down and concentrate. Did he have long hair or short hair? Were his hands rough or soft? Were his eyes big and shiny or strong and hard to see through? I was beginning to become frustrated, spending the whole night staring at the wall trying to remember. Though I had his picture in my drawer, I wanted to remember myself. Why was this picture beginning to become opaque?
Chapter 10
“DORKKKKKKK!” I heard someone scream as I opened my eyes. It was too early for crazy psychos to be on my front door. Rubbing my eyes, I walked towards the door and slowly opened it.
“May I help you?” I asked.
“I have some news so invite me in.” The person said as they came in before I said to. I could tell from the craziness that it was Se7en. I put on my glasses and brought him a glass of water.
“It seems as if you can’t live alone anymore, Kimchee.” Kimchee? What a strange name to call me!
“What do you mean, Seven....nee.”
“Well, the doctors talked to me since you don’t have any relatives around here. You can’t live alone because the risk of you collapsing again and nobody being around is dangerous. It seems like you’ll have to live with me” Se7en said, as he raided my fridge.
“Why YOU?” I asked. It would be kind of awkward living with another singer from the same company. Would people misunderstand? A scandal wasn't something Se7en and I needed at this point in our careers.
“Uhh.... duh. Nobody else would endure living with you crazy dork!” He said, taking a cookie from my cabinet.
“Oh.... okay. Well, I guess that sounds like fun. Living alone is kinda borin’ anyway.” I was actually pleased by the idea. I didn’t like living alone and he always put a smile to my face. I wanted to move out right away, almost.
*The next day*
"Hmm... what shall I help you pack, Kim!" Se7en asked, as we entered the last room needing packing.
“Why don’t you pack the jackets and dresses in my closet and I’ll take care of my personal items.” I said, carrying in some boxes.
“Grr.... why didn’t we just hire people to do this?!” I asked.
“Oh, so you’d rather have complete strangers pack your things than me? WEIRDO!” Se7en said. He was examining my dresses. We packed all the stuff in the room and Se7en fell onto the bed, letting out a sigh.
“BOY! That took a lot of work. Let’s call the movers over here and then go out to lunch.” Se7en suggested.
“Yeah, I’m famished!”
After lunch, Se7en and I went to his house to pack my stuff into my new bedroom.
“Whoa! Everything’s already put in order!” I said, looking around the room. Everything was put into place neatly.” I was so surprised but Se7en didn’t seem surprised.
“Ah, it was probably Grace. She’s like.... crazy about cleaning and stuff like that.” Se7en said. I walked into the hall.
“Grace??” I called out. This house was still unfamiliar and it would take awhile for me to adjust.
“Yes?” Grace said, walking out of one of the rooms. She was carrying a laundry basket. I wondered why she did everything when they were rich enough to hire butlers and maids. I gave her a hug and smiled at her.
“Thank you so much for unpacking my stuff. I want for us to become like blood sisters!” I said. I took of my locket and put it around her. Her personality was definitely very different from Se7en’s.
“Hey, why don’t we all go out to dinner to celebrate?” Se7en asked.
“You are always looking for reasons to celebrate aren’t you, Se7en?? Oh well, let’s go!” I said.
After dinner, we all went home. Before going into the house, Se7en grabbed my arm. I turned around and looked at him.
“Go and change into something relaxing and then come back out here.” He said. I wondered what he was up to. I just followed his directions and slipped on a skirt and a tank top. For some reason, after meeting Se7en I started wearing more dressy clothes. I came out and saw him standing by his car.
“Jump in.” He said, opening the car door. We drove for a few minutes on a familiar road and I looked out to window seeing the ocean. He had brought me to the beach again. He must’ve noticed how much I loved it the last time. He sat in the sand and I sat beside him closely. It was warm but the ocean breeze still made me kind of cold. He took of his jacket and put it over my legs. The stars sparkled brightly tonight and I felt his warm hand across my shoulder.
“That cute girl, Kim.... it was you. When I needed someone like you the most, you ran into me. You have meant so much to me that you don’t even understand. I was so upset that you didn’t realize my feelings for you. I want to be there for you whenever you need someone. I love you, Kim.” I looked into his eyes twinkling with affection. I could feel tears pouring from my eyes.
Chapter 11
“Man I always mess up! I always say things at the wrong times.” Se7en said, getting up
and kicking some sand.
“Now I made somebody cry due to my stupidity!” He said. I felt bad. He confessed his feelings,
so I should too. I wiped a tear and began to speak. I wanted my words to move him like his
words moved me. “I promised someone that I’d never forget about him. I had always thought
that forgetting about someone meant loving someone new, but I was being just as
naive as I would be to just forget him easily. I didn’t realize that you could love
someone and not forget someone else. I denied my feelings for you for too long,
Se7en. I never realized how much you meant to me. For so many years I lived lonely.
I was withering away and wasting my heart. Now I understand that I can love
someone whole-hearted and never ever forget. It has harder to forget than to remember,
and I had always thought it was the other way around. It’s true, Se7en. I love you.”
I stood up as I finished my sentence and wrapped my arms around him. I looked into
his eyes as passionately as he so often looked into mine. I raised my toes and kissed
him on the lips. For that one moment, I felt dizzy. Not the same dizzy as I felt before
passing out, but feeling lightheaded from being overwhelmed with emotions. I felt like
someone kicked me and I would fall to my knees at any moment. Those 2 seconds felt
like a million minutes of pure bliss. I closed my eyes and I felt like my heart would beat
right out of my chest. The lips that looked like the most perfect image were grazing my
own lips. Love tasted like the most luscious, delectable piece of candy I’d ever tasted.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I was back to reality and the world stopped spinning.
I gazed into his eyes and felt entranced.
“Wow.....” Se7en said. Still having his lips puckered. I poked his thick lips and
aughed at him. I laid my head on his lap and stared at his face. His features were
so flawless. Suddenly, I thought about Taebin and how I used to lay on his lap
the same way. How I used to look at his face and be taken aback at his face;
however, strange as it was, my heart didn’t feel heavy with guilt as usual. Maybe
Taebin wanted me to be happy with Se7en. I knew if he was here today, they’d be
great friends. I’m sure he approves of Se7en. He would never do me wrong, as
Taebin never would.
“Se7en.... was this your first kiss?” I asked him. His eyes looked down
on me and I could see up his nostrils. It made me giggle seeing him at this
angle. He blushed slightly and replied.
“Yes....” he said. It was adorable seeing him blush like a little boy.
“It was mine too....” I said. His eyes suddenly got bigger.
“I thought you would’ve kissed your ex-boyfriend. You guys dated for
a long time!”
“Oh I know.... but I guess we never felt the need to kiss on the lips.
We were still awfully young so it was always the cheek.” It always
made me feel happy talking to Se7en. This was the first time I talked to
him in this position, though. I closed my eyes and Se7en began to sing
to me. His singing lulled me to sleep. This moment was so perfect.
Just as that moment I had with Taebin. Se7en was just the guy
I needed now. He was the star I needed to pick me up when I was down.
After Taebin, I felt like I wasn't even alive. I felt like I was just a corpse
waiting for the day I too would leave the world and meet my Taebin
again. Now, the glint of hope I had hoping that Taebin might be alive
was rekindled. The desire to see someone whenever I felt happy or sad
was there once more. This time, it was Se7en. My heart could palpitate
happily now that I had him in my heart too.
Chapter 12
I woke up and I freaked out at first because I wasn't used to the look
of my new room. When I opened my eyes, I smelled pancakes. Oh yay,
pancakes were my favorite!
I put on my slippers and walked slowly down the stairs. The stairs
were so shiny that I was afraid of slipping and falling. As I neared
the kitchen, I could hear Se7en's voice singing.
"LISTEN BABY! Aint no mountain high, aint no valley low, aint no river
wide enough baby!" I peeked into the kitchen and saw him spinning
around while stirring pancake batter. It was absolutely the cutest
thing I had ever seen. I came up behind him and hugged his back. I
began to sing "If you need me call me, no matter where you are. No
matter how far." He looked into my eyes and put some batter on my face
and sang "Don't worry baby!" I poked him in the belly and sang "Just
call my name, I'll be there in a hurry. You don't have to worry!" And
that's when he put the bowl down and began to dance with me. We sang
together,
"Cuz baby there aint no mountain high enough,
Aint no valley low enough, aint no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe!"
"Eww, oh please. Can you just get breakfast DONE already?" Grace said,
walking into the kitchen.
"Haha yeah okay." Se7en said, letting go of my hand. I smiled at him
and got out some plates.
*After breakfast*
"Ah! I'm stuffed! Those were the best pancakes ever!" I said, rubbing
my stomach. I kissed Se7en on the cheek when the phone rang.
-RING RING-
"Hello?" Se7en asked, picking up the phone. I couldn't hear the other
side of the conversation.
"Okay. We'll be right over. No, no it isn't an inconvenience.... we
didn't have anything to do today anyway. Okay, yeah. Alright, bye
Tom." Se7en hung up the phone.
"What did Tom want?" I asked, curiously.
"Well, it seems as if we have a performance tonight. For some reason,
Tom forgot to inform us." Se7en said.
"Oh okay! Are you performing or am I?" I asked.
"Both of us!" Se7en said. I was so excited. This would be the first
time we perform together, knowing each other's feelings.
*That night*
"Tom! I love this dress! Who picked it out?" I asked, spinning around
in a lavender dress with sparkling diamonds on it. It's straps sat
below my shoulder and the bottom cut down from my knee to my ankle in
a triangle.
"Se7en picked it out! You get to pick out his outfit." I was so
surprised. The dress was gorgeous and lavender was my favorite color.
I looked around in Se7en's wardrobe and picked out a suit and a
lavender tie. This was very different than what he usually wore but I
wanted us to match. We looked almost like prom dates. I suddenly felt
sad. I remembered staying at home from prom, crying. I wanted to go
with Taebin so badly but he wasn't alive. Maybe this could fill that
void of missing out on a big event.
"I look funny!" Se7en said, walking out of his dressing room. How
could he not realize how amazingly handsome he looked in his suit? His
shoulders filled the suit so nicely and the lavender tie looked
adorable in contrast with his skin tone.
"Awww.... you look so cute!" I poked at his cheek and laughed.
"Alright, guys. You're being introduced right now so get ready!" Tom
said. "And wow, you guys are lookin' sharp!" Tom added.
"Alright, everybody. Put your hands together for Se7en and Kim!" the
announcer shouted. Crazily, the fans screamed and shouted. Se7en and I
had such a wonderful performance before that I'm sure they were
excited.
"Hi everybody! I'm Se7en." Se7en waved to the crowd and blew a kiss.
He was such a crowd pleaser!
"Hi! I'm Kim!" I said, waving and smiling. Seeing signs with my name on
it brought so much joy to me. My heart began to beat and my hands got
sweaty as the music started.
"Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us, just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I" I didn't focus on the crowd as we sang.
All I could see was Se7en's loving eyes warming me inside. I could
feel tears in my eyes. I always felt so emotional around him. His
voice and his slightest touch made me quiver with sensation. I was
always moved by his every little move. The song ended and I looked up
at him smiling at me and I forgot about the crowd being there. My
brain didn't work anymore and my heart made my body move.
Caught up in the moment hearing Se7en singing, I stepped
closer to him and kissed him right in front of the whole crowd. The
whole crowd went silent for a few seconds as we kissed and suddenly
everyone cheered. Reality finally hit me and I realized we were on
stage in front of so many people plus this was airing live on TV. My goodness!
I'd never done something so senseless before.
Chapter 13
"Oh my god.... I'm so freaking stupid." I said backstage, massaging my temples.
"What are you talking about, Kim? What's there to hide? This was the
cutest way to show everyone our new relationship!" Se7en said,
enthusiastically. I knew he was just a little embarrassed by the way
things went on stage but he could see me in distress so he was kind
and tried to reassure me. How considerate of him, as usual. My head
was pounding.
"Se7en.... can we go home early tonight. Let's not celebrate. Yes, we
did a wonderful job but I don't understand why I got caught in the
moment and KISSED YOU. I'm psycho!" I yelled.
The ride home was so silent. I could feel Se7en's eyes staring at me
often but I didn't bother turning to look at him. Everything was going
so right but for some reason I made it awkward. When we arrived at the
house, I just stared out the window. I didn't feel like moving.... I
just wanted to sit and think.
"Kim.... we're here. If you're really tired, I can carry you up."
Se7en opened my car door and squatted in a position to give a
piggy-back ride.
"I'm fine." I said, walking into the house. I felt bad for being so
cold when everything was my fault but I didn't feel like seeing his
face right now. I fell asleep quickly, as I always did when I cried.
"Kim, you're beautiful" Taebin said, smiling at me and hugging my head
tightly to his chest.
"Taebin, I love you more than anything" I said. I placed my hand on
his head and ruffled his hair. I stared at his face for a long time,
engraving the picture into my mind. Suddenly, I saw him walking away
from me slowly. Even though he was walking away so slowly, I kept
running as fast as I could and I couldn't catch him. I couldn't stop
him from leaving me.
"Taebin! Taebin! Come back to me! I love you!" I screamed at the top
of my lungs, trying to project my voice with all my power. My voice
just didn't seem to carry out to him. As hard as I tried to run and
scream, nothing worked. I kept crying and crying, watching him walk
away from me. For two seconds he turned around and looked at me,
smiling. He waved at me and blew me a kiss. That's when he suddenly
disappeared. I fell to my knees and fainted.
I was panting hard and I opened my eyes to see Se7en wiping my face
with a cloth. I felt so hot and sweaty.
"Kim.... are you feeling better? You have a horrible fever" Se7en said
with a concerned tone. It was a dream.... and it felt so real. Maybe
Taebin was walking away and letting me go. Maybe he was giving me
approval to be with Se7en. Perhaps my voice is too small to talk to
him now, but he can always talk to me. He'll always love me, but he'll
let me love someone else too. This is the way he wanted it to be for
me. I'll never forget him, I promised.... but I can always love
someone new.
"Se7en.... you are the 2nd person to receive my heart, but that
doesn't mean that I don't love you. You know that right?" I said to
him, holding his hand to my beating heart.
"Yes.... but now you have to eat something. You were scaring me
because your face suddenly turned pale and you were sweating
profusely!" He pulled out a tray with soup on it. His voice was very gentle,
filled with compassion. Everything he did warmed my heart.
Chapter 14
Se7en and I lived together happily and normally for 2 years after the
last dream I had of Taebin. I never forgot him, but I never talked
about him out loud anymore. I never dreamt of him again.... but
sometimes I could feel his presence when I sat on a hill or watched
the sunset. I knew he wanted to watch it set with me.
I could hear Pachelbel's Canon on the piano downstairs. I walked down
the stairs and the lights were dim. I saw candles in the living room
and I walked into the room. There was a little table with 2 red
candles and calla lilies in the middle, my favorite flower. On one of
the plates was a broken CD and a ring in the middle. The ring sparkled
and Se7en continued to play the music on the piano. I was so moved.
I'd only dreamt of being proposed to like this. It was like a Korean
drama.... and I felt like the luckiest girl ever. Se7en finally
stopped playing and got on his knee.
"Kim, I love you more than I love my own life. You are the person who
is always in the back of my mind whenever I feel sad or have any
negative feelings. I may always seem cheerful, but it's only because
of you. You are the reason I smile. You are the piece of me I need to
live. You are the only person I need to spend the rest of my life
with. My darling, my beautiful Kim, will you marry me?"
I began to cry. I kissed Se7en on the lips and smiled at him.
"Of course I will!" I said. I put on the ring and it looked so
beautiful. It completely matched me. Grace brought out two bowls of
ice-cream. I was overjoyed and the whole night I just stared into
Se7en's eyes in joy.
Chapter 15
"I, Dongwook Choi, take you Kim Bode, to be my
lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for
better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in
health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do
us part."
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. I closed my eyes, just
as I always did when I kissed Se7en and kissed him on the lips.
Everything disappeared for those couple of seconds. I was used to
feeling this way, now. I opened my eyes and saw Se7en's smiling face
again. He looked absolutely handsome. His outfit reminded me of our
first performance together when I knew that he loved me and he knew
that I loved him. Only this time, he was wearing a pink tie to match
my pink dress. We broke tradition, just as we always did.
"Congratulations!" everybody from the company said as we walked back
down the aisle. I couldn't wait for the party.
*At the party*
"Alright, everybody get ready for the bride and groom to sing their
FIRST SONG together as a married couple!" Tom said. Everybody cheered
and Se7en and I walked on stage.
"My love, there's only you in my life,
The only thing that's right.
My first love, you're every breath that I take,
You're every step I make.
And I, I want to share, all my love with you,
No one else will do.
And your eyes, they tell me how much you care.
Oh yes, you will always be, my endless love." I was entranced in
Se7en's loving smile as we sang. We gave the mics up and listened to
Gummy and Wheesung take away the song and danced. I wanted this moment
to last forever, and it would. He really was my endless love. He
really was my hero, my savior. He was the one who picked me up when I needed him. I would have been just a withering waste of breath. I
would have wasted away my life living in the past. Taebin is probably
smiling down at me right now, watching me in Se7en's arms. Se7en never
hurt me just as Taebin never did. He was the only person I needed in
life to live.
"Se7en, I love you. I'll love you forever and always." I said, looking
up at him with a smile on my face.
"I love you too, Kim. You're my everything." He wiped the tears off my
face.... I was crying, overcome with joy.
"And love, I'll be that fool, for you, I'm sure.
You know I don't mind.
And yes, you'll be the only one.
Cause no one can deny,
This love I have its fine.
I'll give it all to you,
My love, my love, my endless love." Gummy and Wheesung finished up the
song beautifully and everybody clapped. This day was the best day I'd
ever had in my life. I'd never felt so happy before.
"Alright, time for the bride and groom to leave us and run off
somewhere!" Se7en laughed and grabbed my arm and ran with me to the
car.
