You're My Melody Chapter 17: Life Without You

The moment Jaejoong realized Seohyun was nowhere to be found he couldn’t stay still. First he was worried she might be in danger then he became furious. He would have gone searching the whole country if not from his friends who were determined to stop him from doing something crazy.

"Jaejoong calm down.” Yoochun said trying to reason out with his anxious friend. “She would have done it days ago if only you hadn’t stopped her. So there’s really no reason for you to be surprised if she suddenly disappeared”

“At least she left a note,” Junsu said not knowing he isn’t helping at all.

That’s exactly what’s making Jaejoong furious. Seohyun promised him she will stay. She better have a good reason for disappearing and leaving only a single damn note and in case she did have a good reason, Jaejoong wonders if he will ever find out.

----

Mr. Kim Yongjoo first learned about Seohyun from Miss Koda Kumi. Koda Kumi is a Japanese singer who became Jaejoong’s friend after they made collaboration a few years before. One lesson you have to keep in mind is to never ask confidential questions to wrong people. Kumi made that particular mistake. The real problem was that for one thing, she didn’t know that the question was confidential and another thing she had no idea that she was asking the wrong person.

Jaejoong went to ask her for a favor one morning. It was a first since Jaejoong never asked her for anything. He was the sort of person who would give a favor, not ask for it. But that morning Jaejoong surprised her when he asked if she knew a good place to stay.

“Why? You’re moving out?” she asked.

“No. I just… it’s just.. I can’t explain right now.”

“Alright. I’ll try to look for one,” she promised.

“I need to find one before the end of the week. I would also appreciate it if you could find a job for a Korean who only speaks a bit of Japanese.”

“Now, Jaejoong, what’s going on? You don’t speak a bit of Japanese. You speak fluent Japanese.”

“It’s not for me. It’s for a friend. She just needed a job and a place to stay before she moves out at the end of the week.”

“’She’?”

“Well… yeah… Please stop asking questions… I...” Before they could talk more, Yunho come calling for Jaejoong. They have to start shooting a PV.

“I’ll call you if I find one.” She called out before he left.

“Thanks!” Jaejoong replied.

Kumi was sure of one thing. She and Jaejoong are talking about a certain girl who apparently decided to “move out” at the end of the week. Move out of where is a big question. Could it be that she’s currently living with them? The fastest way she could find out is to ask Mr. Kim Yongjoo who fortunately had a spare time at that exact moment while waiting for Tohoshinki members to finish the shoot.

When Mr. Kim Yonjoo heard the story from Koda Kumi he made it his mission to find out everything about this girl. Mr. Kim was wise enough to ask the right person.

Kim Junsu is a person who seldom lies. If he did he was very bad with it that anyone would notice if he was telling the truth or not. Among the five members of Dong Bang Shin Ki, he was the most innocent and Mr. Kim knows that if he needed answers Junsu was the best person to ask. And he wasn’t mistaken.

“Is there someone staying at your apartment?” he asked Junsu.

“You mean Lee Seohyun?” Junsu didn’t notice when Mr. Kim’s expression turned into a surprise after hearing Seohyun’s name.

“Tell me about this girl” Mr. Kim recognized the name. If he could just see her for himself he would be able to clear his suspicions.

“Oh, she’s someone Jaejoong hyung met in Seoul. She had an accident when she came here in Tokyo and she lost her memories. We have no idea how to bring her back to her family so we decided to let her stay with us for a while.”

Mr. Kim learned more from Junsu than how much he actually expected to hear. He decided he have to meet this girl who seems to have the same name as President Lee Soo Man’s daughter.

Jaejoong’s life had been hell since the moment Seohyun left.

He couldn’t get his mind off of her. The other members are complaining because he won’t cook them meals anymore so they always end up eating fastfood meals or if they have time they go to the nearest restaurant and eat decent food.

He also couldn’t get a single melody on his mind so he let Yoochun take over the job of composing songs.

Those were just the small part of it. The biggest part was that he needed to undergo an operation after he injured himself during dance practice. And that was all because he couldn’t damn well get her off his mind.

Mr. Kim pleaded to President Lee Soo Man to cancel the concert for another date. Besides the tickets hasn’t been sold yet. But the president insisted they will hold the concert as planned and no changes will be made. Therefore Jaejoong will just have to bear with it. The president said if his leg won’t heal before the concert, then that’s just too bad. He has to find a way to manage somehow.


Jaejoong expected that much. How he will manage to dance on a broken leg, Jaejoong have no idea.
