Jaejoong stopped playing the moment she entered.
Her face is unfamiliar so he assumed she's one of the new trainees. She's very pretty, he thought.
"Please go on..." she said. He smiled
and noticed how she tried to avoid his eyes. He continued playing the piano
with no particular piece in mind. He just let his fingers glide along the keys.
When he finished he heard her say, "It's
wonderful." When he looked up he saw the sincerity in those words.
"Thank you." he replied. "Do you
play?"
She shook her head. She could have simply said
“No, I don’t play“ but instead she said "No, I never get the chance."
Even she herself was surprised with her own honesty.
"Why don’t you try it now?" he said
showing his wonderful smile that could melt anyone’s heart.
She looked surprised probably because she didn't
expect the question. "N-no.. I'd better not."
He looked at his watch then cursed. "Oh uh..
I have to go..." He stood up ready to leave then hesitated. "What's
your name?" he asked her right before he left.
"S-seohyun..."
"I'm Jaejoong. It's nice meeting you... See
you around, Seohyun-sshi" then he was gone leaving Seohyun staring at the
door for a while.
She moved towards the piano although she has no
plan of playing it. The melody she heard a while ago still lingers in her mind.
It was so beautiful that she was so captivated by the sound of it. She was
about to sit on the chair where Jaejoong was sitting a while ago when she
noticed a phone sitting on top of it. It didn't take a while before she
realized it was Jaejoong's.
------
Jaejoong left the music room in a hurry. They were
practicing some dance routine for their upcoming 4th album. They were having a
short break when he decided to go to the music room and play the piano. He was
in the mood for making a new song so he left without bothering to tell anyone
where he’s going. When he came back every one were just about to leave...
"Jaejoongie where the heck have you
been?" Dong Bang Shin Ki leader U-know Yunho asked him. He's obviously
angry.
"Mianhae…"
He apologized. "I went to the music room and lost track of time."
"Never mind… Practice is over." then he
said to everyone, "Let's go! We have a plane to catch..."
Jaejoong sighed. A flight right after a practice…
If he doesn’t like his job he wouldn’t have lasted this long in the music
industry. But the thing is he loves his job and it makes him so happy knowing
that he was able to touch people’s hearts with his music. Every time he’s on
stage singing he knows that his hard work is all worth it. He also knows that
the other members also feel the same way.
------------
After a few weeks of album promotions in Korea the
five members of Dong Bang Shin Ki are going back to Japan to prepare for their
Tokyo Dome Concert.
They were on their way to Incheon Airport when
Jaejoong noticed he doesn't have his phone with him.
"What's wrong Jaejoong hyung?" Changmin
asked when he noticed Jaejoong desperately looking for something in his bag.
"Have you guys seen my phone?" Jaejoong
asked.
“No, hyung. Why?” Changmin asked
"If you need to call someone you can use
mine." Yoochun offered.
"Forget it hyung. We don’t have time to look
for it." Junsu said wondering why Jaejoong seemed so concerned about his
lost phone when he could just easily buy a new one.
Jaejoong stared at the other four members with a
sorry-please-forgive-me look on his face. They didn’t understand it and they
wish Jaejoong would explain what’s going on. They only knew they need to worry
when Jaejoong suddenly said, "Guys, please don't kill me..."
"And why would we want to do that?"
Yunho asked.
"Because that lost phone is where I keep your
pictures that you definitely doesn't want to go public..." Jaejoong
averted his eyes and acted as if he’s still searching for his phone on his bag
though everyone knew it was useless. He knew the other members are staring at
him with fury in their eyes and he doesn’t want to see it.
------
Seohyun went to inspect the phone making sure it
was Jaejoong's before she decides what to do with it. She was looking through
the pictures when she realized she's not supposed to look at them. One picture
shows Jaejoong with a rubber band around his pouted mouth. With the rubber band
looking like a mustache and micky yoochun, another member of TVXQ behind him,
they looked like a real dork. She thinks they’re cute though and she found
herself smiling. Another picture shows jeajoong probably in the bathroom with
his hair covered in foamy shampoo. Some pictures to her shock were really
scandalous that she almost yelped. Red-faced and embarrassed, she turned the
phone off.
Thinking Jaejoong would probably come back if he
realized his phone was missing, Seohyun waited in the music room for hours. She
played the piano trying to recall the melody she heard jajeoong play moments
ago. She got frustrated with herself when all she could manage to produce are
jumbled notes not even worthy to be called music.
When Seohyun realized Jaejoong isn’t coming back
she went looking for him. She searched the whole building but she couldn't find
him anywhere. Once he realized his phone is missing he would probably call his
phone. Then she suddenly remembered she turned it off. She cursed herself for
her stupidity.
She turned the phone on and dialed 1. A picture of
the Dong Bang Shin Ki leader, U-know Yunho flashed on the screen. She half
expected it would be his girlfriend on his speed dial. Oh well, her father
doesn’t allow his talents to be in a romantic relationship. The line didn’t
connect. She heard a voice saying the person she’s trying to call is out of
coverage area. She tried to call the other 3 members but she got the same
response. She noticed the members were named, ‘my yunho’, ‘my yoochun’, ‘my
junsu’, and ‘my changmin’. What a weird
way of naming people, she thought.
Incheon
Airport
Seoul,
South Korea
The five members of Dong bang Shin Ki are in a
panic just because of a lost phone.
"Yunho hyung, are you sure it's not in your
bag?" Changmin asked knowing their leader has a habit of accidentally
taking things that doesn't belong to him and constantly losing his own stuff.
"I didn't take it, Changmin. I wish I did so
we wouldn’t have to be this worried."
"How can you be so careless hyung?"
Junsu complained.
"I said I'm sorry already. It's not like I wanted
it to happen." Jaejoong already
feels bad and the other members make him feel even worse.
"If you just didn't take those embarrassing
pictures we have nothing to worry now." Yunho said.
Jaejoong wanted to say that he never regrets
taking those pictures but he realized it's not a good thing to say to his
furious members so he decided it is best to just keep his mouth shut. He's
guilty as hell and he hates himself for being so stupid.
"Try calling your phone hyung... maybe it got
mixed up with your other stuff." Changmin said.
"I already did. It's not ringing. The battery
might have died out." Jaejoong replied.
Yoochun is brave enough to mention the worst case
scenario "…or someone might have found it already and turned it off."
"I don't think we have time to look for it
now... Let's just hope whoever finds it returns it without looking at the
pictures." Yunho said.
"Arasso..."
Everyone agreed. They're still worried but Yunho is right. It's almost time for
their flight.
-------
Seohyun went to his father's secretary's office
hoping he knows how to find Jaejoong.
Her father's secretary is a woman in her twenties
who in Seohyun’s opinion doesn’t know how to smile. Seohyun thinks she fits
perfectly well in her father’s office.
"Miss Seohyun, what can I do for you?"
she looked surprised to see Seohyun back
so suddenly. She probably thought Seohyun already left.
"Do you happen to know Youngwoong Jaejoong's
schedule today? I want to return something he left in the music room."
"No, miss, but I'll try calling Dong Bang
Shin Ki's manager."
Seohyun waited for her to finish the call. When
she’s done she said, "Dong Bang Shin Ki is on their way to Tokyo right
now. Their manager stayed behind because he had some urgent matters to attend
to but he’s taking the next flight. I don't think you'll be able to catch him
on the airport. What is it that you need to return to kim jaejoong? I can take
care of it if you want."
Seohyun thought about the scandalous pictures she
found on the phone and decided not to let anyone see it.
"N-no.. I want to give it to him personally.
Thanks anyway." then she left.
---------
Seohyun was on her way back home. While on the car
she thought of the best way to give the phone back to Jaejoong. The secretary
said they’re currently on the plane going to Tokyo.
Then best option for her is to wait for Jaejoong
to come back to Korea then return it to him by then. But then when will they
come back? As far as she knows the last time they went to Japan it took them
more than a year to come back. She's not planning to keep something that makes
her blush just by looking at it. Sending it to Japan is out of the question.
She can't risk the possibility of someone seeing it before it reach Jaejoong.
Going after them is pure stupidity. Who would spend a plane ticket and do all
the trouble to go to Japan just to return a lost phone? Not to mention her
father would be really mad at her.
However, she wondered what Japan would be like. It
seems exciting to be in a different country speaking different language. It's
seems a lot of fun. She wondered when was the last time she had fun and
realized the reality that her life was never been fun. Going to Japan seems so
appealing... She knew her father wouldn't like it if she left so suddenly
without a word. But that's what makes it more exciting. All her life she always
try to do the right thing because she wanted to please her dad but not once did
he ever noticed her efforts. He only seems to notice her when she do something
wrong. Then he would scold her as if she did a very terrible mistake. Only when
her father is angry she believes that somehow he still cared.
When she reached home she already made a decision.
She went to her room to pack her things. Normally she would ask the maids to do
the packing but today nothing is normal. For the first time in her life she
would do something that would surely make her father angry up to the point that
he would probably consider disowning her. The maids will surely talk her out of
it if they found out what she was planning to do. She can't let anyone know. She
sneaked and successfully left the house without getting caught. She hailed a
taxi and asked the driver to take her to Incheon Airport.
Money isn't a problem since her father gave her
lots of those. She's not interested in buying anything in particular though.
The only time she wanted something so badly was when she asked her father
permission to buy a piano which he refused.
Now the problem is how she's going to find those
Dong Bang Shin Ki members when she has no idea where they live in Japan. Her
father's secretary might know if she asked. She dialed his number and called.
"Miss Seohyun?"
"Do you know where Dong Bang Shin Ki is
staying in Japan?" she asked. "Remember the thing Jaejoong-sshi left
in SME? I think it's really important so I'm planning to send it to him
instead." She explained hoping the secretary wouldn't find it odd and
decide to report to her father.
"Are you sure you don't want me to do that
for you?"
"Yes. It's ok. So… can you give me their
address?" she asked.
"Just a moment." She hung up, called her
back after a while then gave her the address. Seohyun said thanks then she hung
up.
When she reached the airport she booked a ticket
right away. It’s only a few minutes left before her flight. She’s scared since
it’s the first time she’s leaving Korea. But a part of her is also excited by
the thought of it. It’s the first time in her 16 years of existence that she
actually felt free.
