{Flashback}
“Taemin-ah,” I called out as my head rested on his shoulders. We were sharing the same scenery, the view of the sun as it slowly set down against the horizon. We were there, again, at our favorite place – the old oak tree which claims the best view of the sun, bidding goodbye to the world to give time for his dearest moon to shine.
“Do you have a dream?” I finally let the words to escape from my mouth, still with a serious tone. My eyes were not actually glued at him, but on the orange sky that was slowly turning purple.
I felt his unsteady breathing on his shoulders as he folded his right leg and rested his right palm on his folded knee. “Dream?” He repeated and let out a short chortle.
I titled my head onto his direction – to stare at his face and looked at him sincerely, showing how serious I was when I asked him that question.
His face then turned humorless as he gazed at the sky with those cute twinkling eyes that were habitually blinking, as always. I rolled my eyes because I was dumb to find the pair attractive, mesmerizing, and fascinating.
“Of course, I do have.” His warm breath brushed my locks as it engulfed the hollow of my ear which made me look at him, eagerly desiring to listen to his stories.
“I dream to be famous, to be well-known.” He said with a smile as his own reverie overwhelmed his consciousness. I saw the desire and determination in his eyes, as if no one could ever stop him from reaching that dream… including me. But I didn’t feel any sadness at all. In fact, I was happy because at least we have the same dream to live. In that way, we would never be away from each other, never ever.
.
But then, the right time came.
The right time to separate ways in spite of the mutual feelings we have for each other.
Because the time has came, for us to live our dreams…
Even without each other.
“Opportunity knocks once but true love chooses to stay and eagerly and patiently waits though waiting means eternity.”
So our names we’ll be forever engraved on our tree, the tree that once ours – the old oak tree.
‘Jaemin & Taemin forever’
Goodbye, My Love,
My First Love,
The one who willingly shared music with me,
Lee Taemin.
{End of Flashback}
.
Six years had passed. Here I was, standing in front of Korea’s people, as the leader of the newest five member girl group, “Wonder Gals.”
After our admirable performance, the hosts called us to start the interview. We could still hear shouts, screams, demands, claps and whistles even though we were already settled on the seats. The hosts even had to plead just for them to stop and start the talk.
“Hey partner, can you believe that we are with the number one girl group of Korea, the Wonder Gals?” The female host fooled around as she smiled at us and to the audience kindly. The interview then started as the audience welcomed us whole-heartedly and my group mates and I with the JYP Entertainment were overwhelmed.
They asked us intriguing and several questions and we gamely answered them. I was smiling all through out the interview, when suddenly, a startling query made my mood shift. The smile on my face instantly faded and was replaced with a not too obvious scowl. The query, however, didn’t leave my mind. It brought chaos instead as it replayed in it.
“Okay, as your fans, we also want to know some personal and trivial stuffs that happened in your childhood or before, when you haven’t entered the business yet. Will you mind to share some stories with us?” The male host asked us gentlemanly yet his eyes suggested how expectant he was and also, the audience to hear our answers.
I was suddenly taken aback. Because, truth to be told, my childhood revolved around him – only to him. And most of my memories, let alone the good memories, happened because of him. He was my happiness back then. I thought that would be for forever, but as time got ahead of me, I realized that I mustn’t limit myself. I found out that I could find happiness with doing other things also, and that’s the journey as I strive hard for my dream. My flight in catching the star…
I just noticed that my group mates were giggling modestly and Eun Suh abruptly threw out a direct question to the hosts. “In short, are you asking for our history in love?” She asked jokingly and gave Ye Rin high five, they both giggled and the three of us joined them.
The hosts’ suddenly felt embarrassed yet they tried to hide it with a timid laugh. “Yeah, somehow,” The male host answered awkwardly with a mortified titter.
“Can we begin with our dear leader?” They looked at me with interest as I gulped the imaginary lump that I had on my throat. I smiled consciously, giving my mind to analyze the numbered things that I must expose to the public.
“Ah. Honestly, I had one.” I admitted simply with a smile. “That was six years ago, such a long time, eh?” I kidded around as I let out a heartily laugh and the hosts joined me as they followed a question up.
“Really? Only one?” They asked me in chorus in which I just nodded vigorously; their eyes were nearly popping out due to disbelief.
“If you don’t mind, did it end badly that’s why you chose to stay single for a long time?” The male hosts asked me with a sad look.
“Aniyo, truth to be told, we were both up for the decision to separate ways, there wasn’t really a commitment but I do believe that it can be called like that for him too,” I paused and smiled gracefully as I placed my locks behind my ears. “We’ve both readied ourselves for the separation and having no boyfriend until now wasn’t really planned. I just want to concentrate with my career now and do our best with our job.” I explained further and stopped, I knew I have said enough.
“Yes, I think that’s the best thing you should do for now. And being single is a lot more fun and enjoying than having relationship.” The female host seemingly agreed with me and I smiled convincingly. The male host, on the other hand, hit me with another related question again.
“But what if the guy from your past comes back? Will you accept him?”
I thought for a while and smiled. “That would depend.” I simply replied and they proceeded with my other group mates.
.
“Our love’s just like music . I believe that you were the low notes, as I reach for the higher notes – you will patiently wait for your turn, for the time that I will be allotting myself to you.
I know you’ll wait. We’ll wait for each other, right?
We’ll hang on until we reach our dreams, until we successfully attain the high notes because we know and we hope that after those notes, the low ones would be played once again for the ending part, for the latter part.
I do believe, Taemin-ah, that we’ll still have each other at the end of this trip…
We will… Our love will surely bind us once more when our right time comes.
We just have to wait.”
.
Another year passed, our success continued until today. We were all happy and contented as we prepare for our debut in United States. Yes, isn’t that great? Our music would be hitting States soon. I could proudly tell myself that I’ve reached my dream then and that’s because of the hard work and perseverance. Thank God, I was able to hang on despite of the ups and downs.
We were heading to the building where we were expected to sign on the new contract for our latest offers. Despite of the tiring day that we had for the rehearsals, the group remained jolly and positive for another project that we’d be working on with a new boy group from SM entertainment that consists of five members. Yes, just like us.
“Jaemin unnie, are you excited?” Hye Hee asked me with her arms looped with mine, as we rode the elevator to make it on the 7th floor where the conference will be held.
“Of course yes.” I answered with a grin. “Wae? Aren’t you excited, too?”
“Honestly, I’m kind of nervous.” I gave her a hug and encouraged her, my dear Hye Hee dongsaeng.
.
Soon enough, we reached the conference hall and settled ourselves with the seats that were surrounding the long rectangular table. The papers were already fixed on the table and were just waiting to be signed. Coincidentally, we arrived first in the location than the other boy group that we were supposed to work with the movie. We haven’t seen them yet but I’ve heard that they’re really good that’s why I was very excited to work with them in the future.
The waiting didn’t take so long. They arrived and asked for apologies for they’ve came late since they were from a pictorial and was extended. There were the bosses and five gorgeous guys that were not far from our age. I scrutinized them secretly as I heard my group mates whispering with each other, I bet they were sharing their thoughts about the boys and their types. It was the matter of ‘that-one-is-mine’ so I let them have it.
As I was scrutinizing them, one of them stunned out. He’s nearly similar to Taemin – from his looks down to his mannerisms and all. He also has that habit of blinking his eyes as he flashes his eyes. Also, the way he smiles was a lot more similar to Taemin’s. Could it be possible? I asked myself in despair.
I acted naturally, as if I don’t have any thoughts in mind. I pretended to talk with my group mates, and that was probably the time when I felt his eyes glued upon me. They were already seating that time; I couldn’t help but to feel conscious with my acts and with my appearance. I sighed secretly in relief when I felt that his eyes were not fixed on me anymore.
I waited with anticipation for the point where we would be introduced to the concerned people inside the hall. I was anticipating to know his name, his real name.
Early enough, the negotiator started calling us by names. She called us the bosses first and then us, then lastly, the boys. I learned that their group name was ‘Shinee.’ She recited each names and we responded by saying ‘present’ and then, she started reciting our names. Upon calling my name, I saw how his expression changed, he was obviously taken aback. With that, my suspicion grew bigger same with my hope.
The four guys were already called, I waited patiently for his.
“Lee Taemin,” She called and he, my suspected Taemin said ‘present.’ I was amazed, flabbergasted and at the same time, I was happy. He has the same voice as my Taemin, only now that it became bigger and manlier than his voice seven years ago.
It’s amazing how fate and destiny brought us back together again.
.
We started acting the script. It was the prom scene in the movie, and we were the couple. The set was so beautiful as if I was in dreamland. The team had made it possible, to create a prom that’s as beautiful and well-arranged as this.
We shooted at a prestigious hotel; the lights were functioning well and in various colors. The tables and seats, in contrast, were covered with fabric of light and warm colors. There was a castle-like stage in front and every one of us was dressed nicely and stunningly. I couldn’t help but remember my first dance which I gladly shared with him.
They let me wear a simple yet elegant white dress that lies down above my knee. The make-up artists didn’t apply much make-up on my face and let my natural beauty shine on its own instead. In addition, they allow my hair to move freely as it rested against my back.
It was so happy, that even it’s for the sake of our movie – I’ll be doing this again with him. I smiled, contented with everything that I have. The concerned staff then called for our attention as soon as we were finished with the make-ups.
We then started filming as the staffs and crews got everything in place. The lights were turned on and we acted just like what the script and our dear director told us. Music filled the whole auditorium as the specific scene that I’ve been waiting for finally arrived.
Taemin, with his white tux and cool hairstyle, walked closer to me as the ball started and the ‘pretending-couples’ started to fill the dance floor.
“So, Ji Hyun, can I have this dance?” He asked me convincingly with a smile. I nodded with a sneer just like what I should in the script and he reached for hand, I willingly took it then he led me to the center. He rested his hands on my waist as I ringed my arms around his neck. We began to sway with the beat of the music as I listened to his heartbeat just like what it says in the Mr. Script.
Even without Mr. Script’s order, I would willingly stare at his face. Even though we were acting, I couldn’t resist but to stare at his soft feature – from his flawless forehead down to his dazzling and mesmerizing eyes, his long and curly lashes, his pointed nose and lastly, down to his inviting lips. I couldn’t help myself but feel so helpless, because I couldn’t claim those lips that moment because Mr. Script said so.
“Ji Hyun-ah,” He whispered my character name sexily near my ears. “Are you happy?” He said with his face centimeters away from mine.
“Of course, I’m always happy whenever you’re around.” I deliberated my lines as I looked deeply unto his eyes and smiled.
“Saranghae,” He confessed softly as he looked sincerely at my eyes, then to my lips. I was very much conscious that time, I know that everything we said was based on the script, but there’s something in me believed that we’re not just acting. I had this hope that he was also true to his lines, just like me with my words. And I felt I was not the only one who hopes for that, I know he also did.
“Saranghanda, Lee Taemin.” I unconsciously uttered. I slipped, yet I don’t care because I felt secured with that genuine smile that I saw in his lips. Soon enough, we found our faces inches away from each other. Our faces continued to descend towards each other’s, ignoring the shouts from the staffs and our directors. We felt it, this was our time and no one could ruin it.
I closed my eyes then, believing that he did the same way after cupping my neck with one of his hands. I could imagine the closing distance between us and waited patiently for his lips to touch mine.
For a moment, time stopped running and my heart stop beating as I let him claim my lips – for the second time in our lifetime.
“Saranghaeyo, Lee Taemin.
I will never regret this, let alone the obvious truth that I still love you and that I’ll forever love you.”
.
We were standing on the airport as they waited for our flight but if you’re going to ask me, I’m waiting for him, waiting for my Taemin.
Yes, Wonder Gals was now bound to hit United States but why am I not fully happy? Is it because I know that I’ll leave someone special behind? I could feel the emptiness in my heart as I held the handle of my luggage tightly when we were already ought to leave. We’ll be trying our luck in the States and we’ll stay there for about a year if we’ll be successful to invade the West.
“Jaemin-ah,” Hye Hee dongsaeng called my attention for we have to ride the plane already. I smiled weakly as she held my hands with hers, pressing them lightly as if telling me to be strong. We’re about to proceed to the plane when someone shouted my name. It was Taemin, my one true love.
“Jaemin-ah!” He rushed to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged back automatically as tears were uncontrollably falling from my eyes.
“Dummy, why are you so late?” I complained as I sobbed against his chest, his hands were on my back to comfort me while his chin was resting on my head.
“Mianhae,” He apologized softly and made me look at him. “Yah, behave there, araseo? Don’t be too hyperactive, okay?” He reminded me as he laid his soft touch under my chin. I just nodded in response, unable to say anything as tears continued to flow.
“Stop crying. Is this your way of saying goodbye?” He stated in a mocking way as he tried his best to mask his fragility, trying to hide the helpless little boy from me. He wiped my tears with his thumb and amazingly, my tears suddenly stopped from falling yet I continued to hiccup.
“Taemin-ah, don’t ever dare to look for a new one for the whole period of time, Aratsi? If you do, you’re dead and you’ll regret to lose me.” I warned him with a killer glare.
“Aish… Didn’t I say that I won’t look for a better one, because I won’t find one at all because for me, you are the best?” He retorted as he playfully pinched my nose.
“Good that you know.” I commented and was suddenly reminded by the flight. “Where’s my favorite line, quickly.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I tiptoed and reached for his level, I quickly brushed mine against his as I cherished the moment. It would take a year to feel those lips again.
“I have to go.” I declared as I merrily waved at him and proceeded where I must proceed – to the airplane. For the second time, we have to undergo separation but sadly, we’re now doubtful if we were ready enough. Maybe because our love grew deeper that’s why we’re kind of hesitant with it. But we knew we’ll surpass separation for we have done this before and for we knew, we would always be meant for each other.
“Goodbye. Have a safe trip. Saranghaeyo.” He shouted even before I could fully enter the hall that leads to the plane. I let him see my genuine smile for the last time of the year and left, holding on with the promise that we made in that old oak tree.
‘Jaemin & Taemin forever’
.
As I was walking my way to the plane, I unexpectedly received a message from him.
“Without you there is no me, without you I don’t know where’d I’ll be.
I believe this quote was made for us, Jaemin-ah.
Strive hard and reach for that dream as I do the same with mine. You should come back here with a triumphant smile, Aratsi? Take good care of yourself for I won’t be around to do that for you.
I’ll badly miss you and I’ll always be here for you. I love you and goodbye, I’ll wait.’
- Taemin
For the last time, I smiled as I uttered the words unconsciously to myself,
“Taemin-ah, you’re forever mine.”
