Do Re Mi Pa Sol Ra Si and Do

by Guiyeoni (translated by Susan)

Chapter 1

Please help me out~~

There are so many thoughts in my head....~~

I can't do anything~~

Please.. make me a dummy~~~

I don't know the meaning of my tears~~

Just make me ignorant to everything~~

"So you're saying.. that the guy singing in front of is that guy you've been trying to kill from a few months ago.."


Right now the only thing I hear..
Is the sound of a voice in the band...
Yoona waved her hand in front of my eyes..


"What?!"

"Is that him?!"

"Yeah! Okay?!!"

For a second the audience stared at us..

Yoona whispered.. "It must be fate.. meeting him in a place like this.. but he's a really good singer. What are you going to do? Are you going to kidnap him after they finish?"

" ......"


Wordlessly, I hit Yoona over the head and continued to listen to the guy's song..


I'm not even happy~~

Why did you give me this head~~ This heart~~

I have to think endlessly~~

With a deep sigh...
The guy who'd finished singing..
Stepped back behind the stage...
With the audience's cheering..
And disappeared...
He seemed happy..


"Hey! He's getting away! You're going to have to grab him!!!"

"Hold on you b***h.. I didn't do anything good that day either.. What if he makes me pay for his dry cleaning bill.."
Without anything to say back.. Yoona took a bite of her bread.


"I didn't know it before because he was wearing a uniform.. But he looks totally different."

"Hey Yoon Jungwon.. it's been.. 5 months since it happened.. How could you now forget his face and still remember? Are you positive?"

"I told you he is!! I remember him.. dammit.. I didn't know he sang. Let's go.. It looks as if it's going to rain."


Listening to my word.. Yoona worriedly looked up at the sky.. Thinking that her bread would get wet. she shoved her bread into her mouth.. And grabbed my hand.. And we started to walk.

.. I think it was about 4 months ago....??
Yeah.. already 4 months...
For no reason..
I wanted some money so I got a job at an amusement park..
I had to wear a green dragon mask over my damn head and had to pass out balloons to customers..

Even now when Yoona wants something from me, she uses a picture of me wearing the damn dragon mask over my head to blackmail me. >_<

At the restaurant inside the amusement park..
There was a group of students wearing school uniforms..
And I neared them with that stupid dragon outfit over my body.

Since it was the spring, the teenagers seemed to have come to the amusement park to go hunting for someone they could meet.

It was a quadruple date with a ratio of 4 guys and 4 girls.
.. how immature..
I'm positive that they'll be younger than me..
Holding 8 balloons and a couple of menus I slapped them onto the table with a 'smack'


"What will you have?"


All the girls with the same exact hair glared at me..


"I asked what will you have?"

It seemed that they were forcing down their anger because of the guys they'd come with. The tallest one said...


"When we're ready.. we'll order.."

"Oh.. Do are you wish~~"


I turned around to go visit Yoona who was probably washing the dishes.
(She backed out on my job and insisted that she do the dishes)


"AHAHAH!! The tail's about to fall off."

" "


I quickly turned around and looked at the tail attached behind me.
When I saw that it was perfectly fine, I breathed out and headed towards the kitchen again.


"Hey~~ dragon lady, can you breathe out fire?? Dragon girl~~ Breathe out some fire, you have a customer.."


I turned back around and headed towards them..
The one who had spoken was the most 'stuck out' out of the 4 guys there.
He had the stem of the balloon in his mouth and was looking at me with bright eyes.


"Did you just say that to me?"

"Yeah."

"Do you know me?"

"No."

"Then why are you saying things like 'your tail's about to fall off' or 'breathe fire' why are you making my temper flare?? "

"Because I pity you, dragon lady."

"Why would you pity ME?"

"Cause you're ugly.."

"How do you know if I'm ugly or not?!"


I was about to rip the dragon head off my head..
The 7 others were staring at me..

The ass who'd made my temper gauge fill up took the stem of the balloon out of him mouth and stuck his tongue at me.

I was already past the stage to become normal again..

And the thing I spotted was a cup of coke that the guy's friend was holding while looking at me with scared eyes.

In a split second I had knocked the guy's coke into the guy..

+FLASH+

One of the guy's friends quickly snapped a picture of me..
The bastard looked at his uniform in shock..

The guy's friends quickly stood up in their seats and headed towards me.

Yoona, who had quickly run out of the washing room, and the unnie who was working at the counter grabbed both my arms and dragged me back behind the employee doors.

Yelling that I had to finish the fight that I had started.. the my employer fired me on the spot and chased me out the back door.

It's been 4 months since that historic day at the amusement park..
I closed my eyes with a sigh and got on the bus.

 

++THAT NIGHT++

Because of a meeting,
Our family had to eat dinner without my dad that day.
This happened during dinner..


"Yoon Jaegwang.. Why don't you go to your father's classes?" My mom asked annoyed.

"Dad always volunteers me!! (TN: Jaekwang does Kendo)

"So.. you're going to let 5 years of it go to waste because you don't want him volunteering you?!"

"You don't know anything, Mom!! You're bad!!!"


My younger brother quickly got out of his seat and ran upstairs.


"Jungwon, what's wrong with Jaegwang?"

"Puberty.."

"Puberty at 18...? Go check up on him."

"I'm eating.."

"Eating is more important to you than your brother??!?! Hurry and go check up on him!!!"

"Damn.. Yoon Jaegwang I'm going to kill you.. "


Why the hell did you run up when you were stuffing your face..
Muttering about my stupid brother, I opened his room.


"Huh..? Where'd he go..?"


..probably not the...
I quickly opened the attic door and what did I see?
From the corner behind a bunch of junk, I saw smoke coming up..


"Freeze!!!!!"

"...nuna.... T_T "


My younger brother quickly threw the cigarette down the side of the house.
I began to push his head around his shoulders..


"Come here.. come here... your busted~~~"

"Dammit~ Why the hell did you come up for?! Couldn't you just eat?!"

"..you think I came up here cause I wanted to?! So you're the one who's been throwing those cigarette butts in my plant pot huh?! What? The next door neighbor climbs over his roof and puts it there?!" (TN: Houses in Korea are all connected so the only thing that separates a house for another house is this little wall that's about 2 feet high.)

"Dammit!! It's true!! I didn't throw it in there!! Let go!! I said let go!!!"

"I can't you ass!! Let's go~ Let's go to mom!!!"

"Nuna.. T_T I love you.... T_T"


I forced my brother who was hugging my legs up and pulled him towards the door with all my strength.
>_< When'd he get so strong?


"AHK!"


With a sudden movement, my brother quickly shoved me and I flew towards the laundry line that and got my neck tangled around a red and yellow line and found myself looking next door.

...
...

On top of the attic of the next house.. our neighbors were staring at me silently and we made eye contact.

My brother quickly ran inside, embarrassed that he was in his boxers.
And I greeted our neighbors for the first time.


"Hi~~ I've never seen you here are you new??"

"Yes we are.. we moved in last week... are you okay..?"


They asked me with worried looks..


"Oh yes.. I'm fine..."

I quickly untangled my head from the lines.


"I'm glad I got to meet new our new neighbors.. I'll see you around.. T_T"


I turned around with my face red from embarrassment..
Grinding my teeth.. I headed towards the attic door.

Wait... Jungwon...?
What did you just see....?

I averted my doubting eyes back to the house next door..
I spotted a guy staring at me with pitying eyes...

It was that guy..
The one at the amusement park who'd made fun of me..
And the guy who had was singing at the college earlier..
All three had the same face..

His dad was staring at me.. and with glances at me his wife was whispering something into his ear.

Another gorgeous young lady who appeared to be his sister was just looking at me without much expression.

The guy continued to stare at me with those damn eyes of his..

AHHHHHHHHK!!!!


"Mom~~ Jaegwang smoked again!!!"

 

++NEXT MORNING++

Touching his bruised head...
And me who didn't bother to wash my hair left the house for some classes..


"Asshole.. how unlucky pig lady.."

"Yoon Jaegwang.. what did you just say?"

"I'm going to tell my friends that you don't wash your hair~~~"

"Do you want to see blood..? Is this why you're acting like this little brother...?"


Glancing at me up and down, my brother grabbed a taxi and quickly got in.


"I'm going to tell mom that you ride taxi's to school! It's not even 5 minutes from here!!!"

"It's my charm you pig!!!"

"You're dead when you get home!!"


As if it were smirking at me.. the taxi disappeared and as if this situation was fun the taxi driver honked his horn a few times.

And until his head became a small dot, Jaegwang was grinning happily at me with his head sticking out the window..
Chapter 2

...Inside my classroom.


"FuQ.. he's so dead... and then!! I got caught on the laundry line..!!"

"You've told me 6 times already... well that dragon guy doesn't know it's you right? Who cares..?"

"But still! He's living next door!! His first impression of me was a girl who got tangled in laundry lines!! And because she got pushed by her brother!!"

"Are you interested in him?"

"NO!!!!"

"Well forget about it then...."


Tch!! Just because it's not your problem.. meanie!!!

Acting as if she didn't care, she kept popping her pimples.


"Hey man!! Today's cleaning day!! Take off the windowsills and clean them!!"
Minchul yelled nearing towards me.

"Hey, why do I have to take off the windowsills?! And why do you keep calling me a man!!! Do you want to die!?!?"

"Our class president told me to tell you to TT0TT !!"

"Fine, I will.. don't chill.."


The past year I've been learning martial arts and what not.. and my classmates found out..
And after that they've been calling me 'man' 'macho' etc....

I glanced over at my friend who was continuing to pop her pimples..
Han Yoona..

After we finished cleaning, we walked out of the school and headed towards the bus stop.

We got on a bus and it sped off. .


"Hey, come out at 12 tonight."

"Why?"

"My brother works at a bar.. you know? But he said he wouldn't be able to do it for a few days so he asked us to fill in for us."

"You do it yourself.."

"It's dangerous for a girl to do it by herself!! Come on please~~!!"

"No. It's not like we'll earn a lot anyways."

"Well be able to sneak drinks~~"

"What time?"


I guess I'll have to sneak over the roof today.
Because of my dad.. I can never stay out late.

After showering I glanced at the clock..

It was 5: 30 already..
I headed towards the kitchen and was about to start the dishes when...

"DING DONG~~ DING DONG~~ DING DONG~~!"

"Who is it? Mom?"


+KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK+


"Yoon Jaegwang? Is that you? You're so dead!!"

Grinding my teeth, I quickly sped towards our front gate.
And what I saw was....
A tray loaded with watermelon slices..
And with bushy hair.. was the guy next door standing in front of me.
The same image as the guy at the amusement park.
The same as the guy at the college...


"....what is this?"

"Mom wants me to give you guys this."


He said handing me the heavy tray.


"We'll have fun eating.. thanks.."

"Ya~~wn~~ I'm tired.."

"Wait.. hold on.. aren't you a student?"

"Yeah.. why?"

"Didn't you... go to school...?"

"Nope."

".........why..?"

"When I woke up it was 2."

"...and that's why you didn't go?"

+Nod+

"Okay.. thanks...bye.."


Yawning loudly, he gave me a look over and ran over into his house.
First my mom... then after 9 Jaegwang came in.. then my mom..
I slowly crept up to the 2nd floor.
And to creep out, I laid my shoes outside the door.


"Yoon Jungwon!!"

"H- huh...?"

"What is all this?"

"Oh.. the people next door gave it to us."

"What's this tray?"

"Oh.. that.. they gave it to us with the watermelon..."

"Really..? Hmm.. weird people... go give it back to them.."

"Huh...???"

"Give it back to them."

"Mom, can't you do it?"

"I'm busy!!!"

"...aw man..."


Muttering to myself.. I tucked the colorful tray under my arm and started out the gate.. Someone slowly crept up to my slowly and grabbed my left wrist.


"What the.. Yoon Jaegwang.. what do you want?"

"Nuna.. are you going next door?"

"Yeah... move.. I don't want to see your face.."

"The nuna next door was really pretty.."

"So...?"

"Hehe~~ I'm good at giving plates back to their owners.. >_< "

"Mom! Jaegwang wants to clean the floor!!"

" TT0TT "


My mom's happy voice, "Really? Good!! Jaegwang, I cleaned the rag go clean the stairs!!"

Ehehehe..

Yoon Jaegwang I'm going to make your life hell~~
With big bright eyes, Jaegwang glared at me..
Before I could hear any verbal attacks against me.. I quickly left the house.
The house next door was similarly shaped as our house.

I pushed the doorbell..

The house was quiet without any response and annoyed I glared at the house.
Rudely I opened the door and went in.
The house was dimly lit..
In the hallways it was off also..
Feeling like some kind of robber, I was going to leave the tray on the counter and quickly leave when I heard something..

A familiar voice..

Although it was in tune and perfect.. something sounded rude about his singing..


"It wasn't water~~ It wasn't juice either~~ Not was it cider~~"


I slowly walked towards the room upstairs where the singing was coming from.
I opened the door slowly...
Wow..... O_O
A room surrounded by CD's.. wow.. I wonder how many CD's this is..
One white desk..
And leaning over the desk writing something down and singing softly..

It was him...

As soon as he saw me, the guy quickly got up and stared at me..


"What..? Who is it..?"

"No. it's just that I came to give you the dishes.. I guess you were singing.."

"I was composing a song." He said proudly.

"..you have a lot of CD's in your room.. if you sell all those.. I think you'll earn a lot of money..."

"I haven't bought a single one." He said this proudly also.

"Then..? Did your parents buy you these?"

"No.. girls did."

"You must have had a lot of girlfriends."


He frowned as if I'd offended him..


"I don't go out with girls."

"Really..? Then.. I guess you're popular.. You must be happy your popular.."

"I'm not interested in anything other than music. If they ask me something, I answer.. If they buy me a present I accept.. I've never seriously liked someone before.. except when I was little."

"Okay.. but I didn't ask."

".........you hear that you're a b***h often don't you..?"

"HAHAHAHAHA!! ...want to die?!"

"No."

"Okay. Whatever, have fun composing.. you have a pretty voice.. I'm leaving.."

"Wait!!!!!!!"


???

He grinned..
With that smile.. how could girls NOT give him presents??
But still.. the crazy fan girls...


"Listen to the song I just composed~~ "

"I'm not very good at knowing songs.."

"That's okay~ I wasn't expecting you to.."

" "


Ignoring my expression..
He started to sing an upbeat song.
And it was the lyrics to his song that shocked me..


"It wasn't water~~ It wasn't juice either~~ Nor was it cider~~

Scary frightening dragon cola~~

After that day, I don't drink cola~~ Everyone has an awful memory..

Wearing a soaking wet uniform, I had to walk around the amusement park all day~~

The worst memory of my life~~ Oh no~~ I hate the amusement park~~ I hate cola~~

The soaking wet uniform is even worse~~ However~~ But~~~

The worst memory of all.... is you~~ Fire breathing Dragon Head~~"


O_O

O_O

O_O

 


Chapter 3

After looking at my stupid expression..
He looked at me with an unreadable expression..


"O_O ......... O_O ......."

"What's wrong?"

"..that song.. it's very.. nice...."

"I know huh? The title's called 'Scary Dragon Head.' "

"It.. it seems like you have a bad memory..."

"Yeah, there was this one b***h, she was the first and last who'd throw coke at me.. How could I forget someone like that ?"

"Oh.. I see... ow~ My head.. I have a headache.. I'm going.."

"You're really bad at acting.."

"Yeah.. sorry about that... "

"I'm not stopping you so you can leave~~"

"I'm so happy I could cry.. bye..."


Ignoring my pounding heart.. I grabbed the doorknob..
That scary guy grabbed my arm..
HUK O_O
I started to sweat..
Is he going to kill me..?


"I've seen those eyes before.."


The dragon mask had holes for the eyes..


"AHAHAH!! I have commonly shaped eyes!!


I tried to force my arm away from him..
He was stronger than he looked..
In a sudden movement, he started to smother his face in my shoulder..


"AHK! What the hell are you doing?!"

"That's not right.. It's the first time I've smelled someone like you.. but why does it seem like I know you.."

"You remember people by the way they smell..?"

"Yeah.."

".... why do you live like that...?"


Instead of answering, he let of my arm..


"I'll leave.. it was fun listening to you sing.."

"Okay.. see you~"


He started singing 'Scary Dragon Head' again..

Afraid that the guy's scary nose would recognize me again, I quickly ran out of his house.

Man.. I was afraid he was going to remember me.. how can someone remember people by the way they smell...?

He isn't normal....

Hmm, but I wonder what shampoo he uses...

He smelt good...

As soon as I walked upstairs into my room..
I saw my brother talking on the phone with the rag thrown across the room.
Okay.. I have to creep out while he's talking on the phone...
Thinking this.. I grabbed my shoes and crept out the attic door.
I could hear Jaegwang's pissed off voice.


"Aish~ Saying that I'll call and not calling is my charm!! Who said that I'm sick of you?! No it's not that!! I have to study!!! Just please hang up~~ TT_TT "


Crazy bastard..

I crept out the door and went out to the attic.. I put on my shoes and when I was about to go climb down the stairs...

A cigarette butt flew into one of my flower pots..
I twisted my head and from the attic next to our house was the guy staring at me..


"..you.. you.. then was it you this whole time?? The one who's been throwing those cigarette butts in my pots!!"


Oh yeah..

I shouldn't yell..
I can't get caught by dad or mom, especially my brother...


"You're right .. it's me.."

"So you have a death wish.. ?"

"I'm really good at tattle telling.."

"Okay... okay.. calm down... uh.. I'll forgive the fact you've been throwing those into my pots okay? Just act as if you haven't seen me.."

"Are you going somewhere?? "

"What are you going to do if I tell you?"

"AHJUMMA!!!"

"AHK! Okay, I'm sorry! Shh, shhh!!! I'm going to meet my friend okay?"

"Why are you crossing over the attic then?"

"My Dad will beat me if he finds out. I have to go.."


He continued to stare at me as if he would never understand me..
It's the same expression he had on when I threw that cola on him..


"I can't tell..?"

"Of course not!!!!"

"My electric guitar's really heavy..."

"So.. what do you want me to do about it? T_T "

"It's hard to carry it from my school to our rehearsal room."

"So what do you want me to do about it?? Huh? What do you want me to do? I'll carry it for you.. happy..?"

"But I practice at home, school and the rehearsal room.."

"Just tell me what you want."

"Carry it for me.. for a week."


He looked at me as if it weren't a big deal..


"I thought you said that you have a lot of girls who like you. Ask one of them."

"They like me though.. so I don't like being near them.."

 

"As a reward.. I'll let you hold my hand.. ^0^ "


If he was in front of me, I'd grab his head and throw him to the ground along with Yoon Jaegwang.

While I was imagining killing him.. he'd taken out another cigarette and was playing with his lighter..


"..I'll hold it for you for a week.. but in favor don't throw those in my plant pots.."

"OKAY~~ okay~~"

"..and I'm going to climb over the attic a lot so act like you haven't seen me!!!"

"OKAY~~ okay~~~"

"Don't even expect me to act happy.."

"OKAY~~ okay~~"


I climbed down the side stairs slowly..
Even though it's only beer.. even though it's only money..
It's worth it...

As I was running down the alley, the guy yelled enough to halt a war..


"My name is Shin Eungyu!!! Bye guitar carrier!! BYE!! BYE~~~~!!!"

I'll deal with you later..
I'll finish what I was going to do to you last time...
Chapter 4

That night...
I slammed down orders and plates of beer pissed about earlier that evening..
Yoona looked at me and asked carefully..


"Wh- What's wrong.. friend..? Are you angry that I called you out this late..? Is that it?"

"Do you think being stabbed or being choked is more painful...? A person wouldn't die from falling off an attic would they..? No right..?"

"Are you crazy..?"

"No."

"Yoona!! Take these boxes and stack them!!"


The owner yelled loudly.. Yoona slowly crept away from me.

(We fooled them into thinking we're 20.)

It was around 3 AM.
I got caught sneaking a few bits of appetizers into my mough..
After getting shot down by glares from her..
Yoona and I walked out of the bar.. finished with our first day of work.


"Hey. The lady wants us to come early tomorrow. Around 10, that's okay with you right?"

"It's too early. If mom or dad comes upstairs, I die."

"Just shove some pillows under your blanket and pretend it's you. You always do that."

"Phew... I don't know.."


After parting ways with Yoona at the alley,
I climbed up the stairs and to the attic..
Crouched over near the corner and smiling brightly was my brother, Jaegwang..

Damn.. I'm in a sht+ load of trouble.

Unlike his usual self, he wasn't wearing a pair of boxers,
Today he was wearing clothes....
If I'm correct, It's because of the unnie next door.


"Jungwon~~ Where are you coming from?!?! >0<" He whispered loudly.

"Sorry about earlier Jaegwang~~ TT_TT"

"I'm scary aren't I?? >_< "

"Yeah, you're really, scary.. so just be quiet and shut your mouth~~"

"Now~~ Should we both yell for mom and dad?? >_< ??"

"What do you want."

"Meet Hyungpal hyung for me."

"You know what? Just yell."


Hyungpal...
Is a guy who takes kendo lessons with Jaegwang...


"Are you su~~~~~~~~~~~re?"

"Yeah. We'll see, after I get a beating, it'll be your turn.."

"You know... dad seemed a bit pissed today.. Earlier today he got in a fight with the kendo instructor across the street... He looked as if he was ready to burn the world down.."

"....he wouldn't kill his out daughter... do you think..?"

"Why don't you just go meet Hyungpal hyung? Do you know how much Hyungpal hyung likes you?"

"If you were a girl. Would YOU meet him?! TToTT!!"

"So no right? Okay! Wait a sec, I'll go get dad.. have fun talking~~ ^o^ "


....
.._

Jaegwang turned around to near the attic door.


"W-wait!! Jaegwang!! Hey! You rude little Fuh-kole!! Just one day alright?! If you make me meet him again, you both are going to die!!!"

"^o^ I love you~~"


If you and Shin Eungyu just left me alone, I'm marry Hyungpal..
With a 'Fa La La' expression on his face, Jaegwang walked inside.
And grinding me teeth, I headed after him..


"Nah~ nah nah~~ nah nah nah~~ Hyungpal and Jungwon sitting in a tree!! K-I-S-S-I-N-G~"


Sitting on the small wall that separate our attic from theirs, and with a small puppy on his lap, Shin Eungyu was teasing me in a sing song voice.


"I'm scary when I get mad. Stop pissing me off."

"Meet me at the gates at Myungwon High. At 3, okay?"

"The rehearsal room is close right? Only for 1 week! You promised.. Aw man~~ T_T"


Leaving him to mutter things to himself, I quickly ran inside our house.
It was the first time in a long while I didn't get to sleep that easily.

 

/Next Day at 2\

I heard my alarm clock ring, and because of working late the day before.. It took me a while to open my eyes.


"What the..!! It's only two!"


The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a memo written in dry marker on the ceiling..


+Jungwon~~ There's a cafe close to Myungwon High called Orange, get there by 4! Hyungpal will take care of you from there~~+

"AHK! Bastard! What is he doing messing on the ceiling again!? I'm going to kill him!!"


After erasing the message, I realized that I was hungry..
So going to the table and eating what was there,
I walked out of the house wearing some sweats.

It's already 2:20..

He probably won't hit me cause I'm late..
Wait, but if it's 4 at Orange.. when am I supposed to hold his guitar?

Damn, why does it have to be close to Myungwon...
Hold on.. the school that Hyungpal goes to..

The school he goes to is...
Myungwon...

Oh damn, whatever..
I guess I'll ask Hyungpal to beat Shin Eungyu up for me EHEHE!!
Yahoo!! Yahoo!!

(Hyungpal is 3rd degree in Judo..)

And with those thoughts in my head, I strutted towards Myungwon.

 


Chapter 5

/The front gates of Myungwon\

When I arrived.. it was a little over 3.
Why the hell isn't he coming out?
Maybe he's mad that I'm late and just left...
He probably wouldn't...
But if he did!! Then I can just say I came but he wasn't coming out~
Before Shin Eungyu could come out, I moved quickly towards Orange.
Right then.. a familiar voice made me sad..


"Is that you Jungwon?! Jungwon?!"

"..uh y-yeah... you don't have to run over here you know..."


Carrying his large body over was Hyungpal...
With his red face he started to say in his large voice..


"Hey! Hey!! Long time no see!!!!!!!!!"

"...uh.. uh.. yeah.. right.. long time no see..."


As if thinking of what to say first, he paused..


"I heard from Jaegwang that you wanted to meet me!! I was so surprised! Can you imagine?! Anyways.. you came out early!! Thanks!!"


One by one.. students coming out of the school stared at us with wide eyes...


"Anyways!! Let's go in!"

"Yeah.. yeah.. I'm hungry, you have to buy me food."

"HAHAH! Of course!! I mean you did come to meet me after all!! I'll buy you more than you need!!"


..after all..? I didn't come to see you..

He casually put his arm on my shoulder...
And I quickly shrugged it off.


"Oh right. Hyungpal.."

"YEAH!!?"

"..can't you talk a little quieter.. Is there a guy, in your school, named Shin Eun-"


Right then..

What the....

From over in a distance I felt someone ride the sun over towards me..
With his hair wet from water..
And running over with a smile I hadn't seen yet..
Was him..
And when he spotted he me.. he froze.


"OH! Carrier's here!!"

"Why are you running here like a mutt that got drenched in water.."


Looking at me and Shin Eungyu was Hyungpal..

And.. one of Shin Eungyu's friend caught up with Eungyu.. panting heavily..
They stopped in front of me.
I'm pretty sure that these two immature dorks were trying to get each other wet.
I'm 100 percent sure.


"Eungyu.. who's this?"


Asked his friend while wiping wet Eungyu's head.


"That girl living next door I told you about. My guitar carrier~"

"Oh! This is her? She's not THAT bad looking.."

 

"Oh yeah? You're THAT bad looking.. "


As if he were shocked by my words..
He was silent for a moment..


"Hey, Shin Eungyu, you know Jungwon?"


Hyungpal asked, and Eungyu answered him with a small frown and a nod.


"Yeah, Donghun, go to the classroom and get my guitar for me will you? I'll introduce you to my nuna~~"

"OKAY!!!"


Without a second to spare, his friend slipped past the gates and into the school.


"Hey.. how do you know Jungwon?!"


With protective eyes, he grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him.
..is this bastard crazy?


"She's my Carrier.. Give her to me."


Shin Eungyu took a hold of my wrist and started to pull.
And to counter that, Hyungpal pulled on my right wrist and yelled..


"There are tons of girls that like you!! She's the only one for me!!!"


For a small while, the two started pulled on my wrist..
It seemed as if they were having a tug-of-war game.. with me as the rope..
And then with my loud voice...


"If you don't let go on the count of three I'll rip you apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Quickly, Hyungpal let go of my wrist..
And I felt myself pulled into Shin Eungyu's arms.

 

Chapter 6

As if he were surprised.. Shin Eungyu froze..
AHK! What do I do.. I think my face is red!!

(During the 19 years she's been alive, she's never been this close to a guy..)

As quickly as I could, I stepped away from him and continued to yell,


"What are you two doing?! Do I look like a rope to you?! Why the hell were you pulling me?! And Kim Hyungpal! You're 3rd degree in Judo! Can't you even give him a punch?! Why the hell did you even LEARN Judo!?!"


Hyungpal stared at me..
And laughing as if I'd said the funniest thing in the world was Shin Eungyu..
After a while..
His face expression did a 180 degree change and with a sincere look, he looked down at me.


"Carrier.. I'd win."

"....."


Unable to think of what to say.. I looked over Shin Eungyu's build and Hyungpal's build.

As is he were embarrassed.. Hyungpal started spitting like crazy and avoided my eyes..


"Are you serious...? Is it true? Kim Hyungpal.. you'd LOSE to him? Huh?! Really?!"

"..dammit.. he started before me, that's why.. I'm still good at fighting though. You know that.."

"Know what? You're a disgrace to my father's Dojo (TN: Or wherever you learn Judo and Kendo)!! Just quit why don't you!!"


As if he were trying to contain his anger.. Hyungpal started rubbing his chin.

Shin Eungyu's friend appeared panting carrying his guitar and his bag.
He took the guitar from his friend and placed into my hand.


"What are you doing..?"

"Let's go. I'm late, Donghun I'll see you tomorrow at school! Hyungpal~~ bye~~~!!"


With an empty bag hanging on his shoulder, he started forward..
I quickly followed after Shin Eungyu.. not wanting to see Hyungpal.

I wanted him to beat Shin Eungyu..

But are guitars usually this heavy?

We passed Myungwon..
And I forced myself to catch up with him..


"It's heavy huh.."

"Do you work out?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you only sang.. you should have just stuck with singing, what were you working out for..?"

"I feel a song starting to form in my head because of you... want me to sing it?"

"No!!"

"No, I want to sing it."

"Don't sing it!! Where the hell is your rehearsal class?"

"The title is called 'The Guitar Carrying Pig~~'"

"I'm going to throw your guitar!!"


Until we reached the rehearsal room.. I had to hear his song called 'The Guitar Carrying Pig' and he didn't stop listening to my threats..

I even thought of throwing his guitar..
But then I realized that our family wasn't that rich..

A while later...
Shin Eungyu stopped in front of a yellow building.


"Is it he~re..?"

"Yeah.. but it hurts where you hit me."

"I hit you to hurt you.."

"HAHA~ Thanks~"

"What?"


While I was thinking if I'd heard correctly.. he pulled me into the building.


"Hey! What are you doing?! I carried it here didn't I? Why are you making me go in?!"

"You have to take it to our practice room!!"

"AISH! Why are you making me?!? My gosh!"


I guess he didn't work out for nothing...
He pulled me into the dimly lit rehearsal room...
I spotted various instruments in the room..

And on the drums was a young woman in her 20's dressed in a funky fashion.
..and I spotted someone lying on the sofa..

Laughing loudly on the phone..
A familiar guy..
With my entry, the two people stopped to look at me..


"....Yoon Jungwon...."


The guy on the sofa said with wide eyes...
Why here of all places... why....

I threw the guitar into Shin Eungyu's arms and pushed past him and down the stairs..

And ignoring the fact that two hours was a long time..
Without stopping..
I ran towards my house...
Chapter 7

I don't know anyone like that....

Yeah..? Then I can do whatever I want to her, right...?

Just beat her until she's just about to die, whatever...

Oooh~~ Kang Heewon, now that I look at you, you're pretty mean~~

I'm leaving.. do what you want.. she's pretty tough.. haha~~


The worst day I remember...
The awful conversations...
Kept coming up in my head as I ran home... and it kept making me dizzy...


Don't be like this...


Why'd you learn martial arts in the first place....?
Yoon Jungwon~~ Be strong!!!!

I flung the door to my house open,
...no one's home...

Ow.. my shoulder hurts...
I searched around in the refrigerator and after filling my stomach,
I laid down on my bed and tried to fall asleep..

And after a short while...

I realized someone strong was tapping (more like hitting) me on the shoulder..


"Oww... owwww~~~!!"


I opened my eyes wide
And with a few band-aids on his face,
Jaegwang was hitting my shoulder..


"Are you crazy?! What are you doing?! Ow!"

"I got hit from Hyungpal because of you!! What did you say to Hyungpal?!"

"That useless loser.... Did he hit you?!"

"Well duh!!!!!!!!!!"


I calmed Jaegwang down a little, and during that time,
I was able to wake up fully...

My whining brother..
Your spiky hair seems sad for some reason...


"I didn't say much, why the hell did you get hit?! Hit him back!"

"How can I hit a sunbae?! Can you!?!?"

"Does he go to your school? No! He doesn't!!"

"Whatever!! My face is my life, but it's all bruised, what am I supposed to depend on now?!"

"Don't you have a mirror in your room?? You look like crap!!"

"Do you know what this face has done for me at school?! Do you think I'm like you?!"

"'YOU'? How old are you huh?!"

"I'm 18! What are you going to do about it?!"

"Oh my gosh, what am I doing arguing with you?? Argh! So immature! Get out of my way!!!"


With all my strength, I pushed him away and started to get dressed..


"Ow.."


Jaegwang said rubbing the shoulder I had hit.


"Don't lock the attic door. I'll be back by 3."

"You're going out AGAIN..??"

"Yeah, I am. What are you going to do about it? When I get paid I'm not going to buy you anything!!"

"You're going get caught someday."

"Mind your own business!!!"


Quietly, I crept towards the attic door.
From downstairs I could hear some thumping..
Are they fixing the kitchen...??

Damn...
Little by little, small showers of rain were falling from the sky.
Heh, even if I make some noise, I probably won't get caught because of the rain.
I quickly went down the stairs..
I don't see him today...
What a relief...

..

..I opened the gate and walked out of our neighborhood alley.
The time right now: 9:45.

In front of me I can hear footsteps..
It was Shin Eungyu walking towards my direction with that walk of his..
With his guitar on one shoulder, he spit his cigarette on the ground tiredly.
He looked up and spotted me..
For a small second, he just stared at me..
Wordlessly, he passed me..
And then...


"Don't cry.."


I stopped walking...


"....what...?"

"I said don't cry."

"What the hell are you talking about..? When did I cry?!"

"Before.."

"Before when?!"

"....before you ran away..."

"You must've seen something wrong!! I didn't cry!!!"

"Okay.. you didn't cry.. but still, don't cry..."


...
...

"The the hell, earlier I just- I just.. dammit! I'm going to be late, see you later~~"

He let out a small grin...
Damn, I'm so embarrassed..
I quickly turned around and started to speed up my walking.

The guy is getting further away..
And I could hear him start to sing softly..


"Even when I lonely or sad~ I don't cry~~ I keep it in, in, in, in- wait.. that's now how it goes... Was there four 'ins'? One.. two.. three...."

(TN: If you're not Korean, you probably won't get this part. But this is the lyrics to Candy. That children's song in Korean.. Here's the original version...

"__ _ _-0-..? ...? 4.. .? .. .. .." )


Is he really a sane person???
I asked myself as I quickened my pace..


+The Bar+

"You b***h, stop sneaking in food. What are you going to do if you get cut??"

"It's so yummy.."


For a while, Yoona and I were just talking, when a young woman stepped in.
Even from far away, there seems to be a spotlight on her..
Long brown hair...
Catlike eyes that I'd love to have my self..

It was Shin Eungyu's nuna.


"Damn, she's so pretty, huh..?"

Yoona asked poking my side.
Next to Shin Eungyu's sister, I saw a tall man and a rich looking,
With not so great looks...

A guy in his mid 20's.
Wordlessly, he sat down at a middle table and held up a menu.


"That unnie lives next door."

"Jaegwang must be pretty happy.. .."

"Yeah!! Hehe, I wonder how sad he'll be when I tell him she has a boyfriend? I'm going to make fun~~"


The rest of the night passed by quickly...
And when we stepped out of the bar,
Large drops of rain was falling heavily from the sky.


"Ahk, what the.. I'm going to go take a taxi home."

"Yeah, look there's one coming. You can get it~"

"What about you?"

"I'll catch the next one. "

"Okay then, I'll call you tomorrow! I'm going, sorry about taking it first!!"


My 'friend' yelled not even bothering to turn around.

As soon as the taxi left, I realized I didn't have 1 cent in my pocket..

TT_TT ......... TT_TT .............. TT_TT.............

Wait.. since when did I care if was raining or not..?
Luckily for me, my house was pretty close...
So, I quickly headed towards my house
And when I'd nearly reached the entrance to our neighborhood..

I spotted a person with a black umbrella,
Twirling it so that the rain drops would slide off quickly..

 

Chapter 8


Black umbrella started to walk closer to me and I tensed..
I started to step back..

And the black umbrella came above my head..
When I lifted my head....


"Hey, Shin Eungyu.... what are you doing....??"


Wordlessly, he started in the direction of his home.


"Haha! What's this? Did you come out because you thought I'd be getting wet? What a cutie!!"

"You're parents are fixing the attic stairs right now, don't go home right now."


.....?....


"Did you come out to tell me that...??"

"+Nod, Nod+

"Oh~~ Thought Mister Shin wasn't interested in girls~~ That was a lie??? ^0^..?"


Shin Eungyu squinted his left eye at me...


"I'm not interested in you.."

"Why'd you come to walk me home, with an umbrella? You know you like me~~"

"No one's at home, and I was bored.

"Ha! Don't make me laugh! If you like me just tell me you do~~! Thought you said you weren't interested in anything but music~~ You liar!!"

"When I look at you, I get all these songs in my head."

"That's good right?"

"No."

"Okay.. ..."


Wordlessly, we headed home.


"Why aren't you asking..?"

"...asking what...?"

"Earlier.. when I went to your rehearsal room.. why I just ran out.."

"...you cried.. and if you cried it's something sad.. so if I ask, it'll hurt you....

"I didn't cry!!!!!!!!!"


He let out a little laugh.


"Okay, you didn't."

"I don't cry... ever.. It'll be harder to see tears on an alien's face than mine..."

"...what if I make you cry..?"

"What?"

"Should I make you cry within ten days..?"

"What if you can't."

"I'll listen to one of your favors.."

"...what if you do...?"

"I don't know, let's see ten days from now."

"You promised!!!"

"Yeah, yeah~"


PUHAHA, you're dead~~
What should I make him buy me..???


"I know you have money~~ Just give it to me when I ask nicely."

"I really don't!! That's all I have~~"


What's this??


I turned my head towards where the voices were coming from.
I saw a guy in their late teens
And a middle schooler with a panicky expression on her face..


"Hey... look.. look at that...over there."


As if he weren't interested, Eungyu continued to walk (<-- it's Eungyu now, eh?)


"..hey, look over there~~ We have to go help her~~~~"

"..why...?"

"What?! You're just going to leave her like that?!"

"I don't care."

"You are so evil."

"Yeah."

"Forget it, go ahead!! Hey!! What are you doing???!"


To save the young girl, I headed towards them.
And Shin Eungyu just continued to walk forward..
Not even bothering to turn around once.
That evil guy.....

It took exactly 8 minutes to knock the guy onto the ground.
On the other hand, the middle schooler kept bowing at me with a straight waist at a 90 degree angle.


"HAHAH!!! It was nothing~~ Don't worry about it!! Don't go around alone at night from now on!!"


When I got home and continued to think.. I kept getting mad..
For a small second, I thought he was pretty cool...
The type of person I hate most in the world, is the type of person who only thinks of himself.

I crept into Yoon Jaegwang's room.
And after writing a message on the ceiling with a dry erase marker..
I fell asleep in my room.


+Muhahaha~~ The hot chick next door has a boyfriend~ Who was really hot!! Hot enough for you to be embarrassed if you stand next to him~~!! HAHA!!+

Ahhh... sleep came quickly...

 

Around 8 the next morning.


"You're all grown up!! Are you going to continue to scribble on the walls?!?!"

"No.."

"Ha! 'The hot chick next door?!?' do you want to get a beating from your dad?!?!"

"I'm sorry...TT_TT.."


Yoon Jaegwang!! You're the biggest tattle teller in the world!!
Son of a Byatch~~
It didn't feel too good being scolded at in the morning..

So as a way of rebelling, I starved breakfast and lunch.
And to hold that asshole Shin Eungyu's guitar, I left the house.

6 more days left... 6 days...
After today 5 days...

Confidently,
I squatted in front of Myungwon and waited for the ass to come out.
I was a little scared that Hyungpal would come out.
He wouldn't hit me, would he?

All of a sudden, I spotted a bunch of different shadows...
A bad feeling washed over me...


"Hey! It's Yoon Jungwon!!!"

"Really??? Hey, lift your head."


FuQ... this voice... well... look who it is...
My shining eyes,
Slowly found the owners of the voices...
And I slowly got up..

 


Chapter 9

"Hey~ You're right!! HAHAHA!!!"

"She's still alive after getting beaten by us~~ HAHAH!!!"


One of the girl's lifted her hand to my face and pushed lightly..


"Get it off."


The kids started giggling loudly..
There were a total of 4. The same members as before...
I wanted to forget... I didn't want to remember....

My heart started beating rapidly..
Because I was scared...??
Ha~! No..
Because I thinking of getting my revenge...


"FuQ, when'd you get so big? Oh~ Guess you worked out or something, huh? Or, you have something to stick up for you this time..? Huh??"


The one that I had the worst memory of, put her face in front of mine...


"Do you want to get hit..?"


As if they surprised by my threat, they blinked their eyes in fake surprise..

 

"AHAHA!! Hey, Jiwon~ Did you hear her? She asked if we want to get hit.. by her!!"

"Maybe the shock she got from Heewon last time was so big, she went crazy, this b***h here."

 

As she finished talking, Byatch #1 raised her hand..
And I quickly grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her back.

 

"Ow!!! Ow!!"


For a second the 3 girls behind her froze.
I don't even want to use their names.

The byatch fell to the floor and continued to pant.
Out of the 3 frozen girls, one of them ran towards me.


"HYAH!"
Yelling at the same time ....
And in no time at all, she was on the floor with Byatch #1.
Byatches # 3 and 4 started to back away.

I made the coldest expression I could make...
And started to walk towards them...
I grabbed for Byatch #3 and pulled her towards me.


"Jiwon!! Hey, what the hell are you doing?!"


A beefy guy asked running up to Byatch #1 who was on the ground behind me.
He was wearing a Myungwon uniform.

They seemed to be a couple.


"WAH!!! Chanhyung!! She- she, twisted my arm!! TT0TT!"

"What?! Who?!"

"Her! That byatch wearing the shorts!!!!"


The guy stood up and headed towards me.
He looked really ugly and funny.
You should start hanging out with Hyungpal you bastard...

At first I thought, 1 guy. Pfft! I can handle that...
But then, I realized that,
One by one, more guys were nearing towards me from the entrance.

They started crowding around me..
There were about 8 in total.. If Hyungpal was here, I would have had a better chance.
There really is not use for Hyungpal!!!

Hiding behind the guys were Byatches #3 and 4.


"Hey, who the hell are you huh? Who are you to hit Jiwon?"


The Chanhyung bastard asked shoving me.


"I didn't hit her. I twisted her arm. What are YOU to shove someone??"


The 8 guys and the 2 girls started laughing at the same time.
Excluding the 2 on the ground.


"Check this chick out. What the hell kinda school you go to? How many years are in ya?"

"Is this Pusan? If you talk like that, do you think I'll be scared?"

"Are you really going to talk back to me?!"


The atmosphere started to get a little more serious...
The bastard grabbed my throat and lifted me.
Rude bastard, you don't choke a girl...


"Chanhyung! Kill her!! Just kill her!!"


Byatch #3 yelled happily.


"Who's going to kill who? .....put her down, don't piss me off..."

 


Chapter 10

Eungyu said as he walked through the guys behind me.
Surprised, the Chanhyung bastard put me down.


"Eungyu, did you just say that to me??"


Wordlessly, Eungyu pulled on my hand..
All the people seemed shocked..


"Hey, Shin Eungyu, do you know this b***h?"

"You're pissing me off, what are you some kind of fighter?"

".........what...........?"


The bastard asked, not knowing how to close his ugly mouth.
Close your mouth you ugly bastard, a fly could fly in.
With a 'nyah-nyah' expression on my face, I passed them.


"Carrier, let's go."

"Okay!!!"


Nyah~ Nyah~~

They wouldn't run up right now and smack me upside the head would they..?
When we were a little distance away,
The Chanhyung bastard yelled..


"If you do this, you're going to make yourself a loser, Shin Eungyu!!!"

"Just try and make me, I'll make you one, before I even start to become one.."

"........."


(TN: And stop!! Yeah that dialogue up there is one I kinda make up, since the one in Korean is something you'll understand if you only know Korean. So for those who want to know how it really goes, here it is...

" __!!!!!"
" ... ........" )


And...
We started on our way again...


"Shin Eungyu!! What school do you go to huh?! You're supposed to be our friend!! And- and you said you didn't have a girlfriend!!"


Byatch #3 yelled.


"She's not my girlfriend. And you!! Stop taking interest in me!!!!"

"......."


Wordlessly, Byatch #3 stared at me...


"Heh, I wouldn't like you if you bought me 500 CD's."


He muttered under his breath, and quickened his pace.
And I quickly chased after him.


"Hey~ Wait for me, Give me your guitar. I'll hold it for you!"

"....no."

"..why? I came here to carry it for you."

"You're hurt.."

"+grin+ I thought you said you're not interested in other people's business!! Why'd you help me in the first place??"

"I don't know.. It just pissed me off.. I don't like getting pissed off."

"Look! These are signs of liking! Admit it~ You like me!!!"


Shin Eungyu looked at me with an expression that said, 'what kind of girl is this' and continued to walk.


"Do you know how high my eyes are..?"

"Why don't you go out with anyone??"

"Because I have to take care of them. It's annoying."

"Then go out with someone older~"

"I'm not interested in girls. What do I do... my hand hurts."


He said shoving his pointer finger in his mouth, and frowning.


"..do you like guys then?? Huh? Is that it?? ^0^"

"Get away from me!!!"


For a few minutes we argued..
And soon enough, we were in front of the rehearsal room.

The building Kang Heewon's in...

The room Kang Heewon's in...


"I'm leaving..."

"Why?"

"We're here aren't we? I'll be on my way."

"Come in! I'll sing you a song ^0^"

"It's okay, I don't need to hear a song. I'm leaving."

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

"I said 'no'!!"


With me yell,
He stared at me with wide eyes..


"We're looking for a female vocalist, do you want to join? You're voice is hella loud!"

"I'm not in the mood to kid around. Eungyu, I'm going."

"Okay."

"Sorry."

"Okay. ^0^"


Right then.....


"My Piggy!!!!!"

 

As I predicted, it was Yoon Jaegwang.
Surrounded by a few of his friends who were laughing along with him...
With a cocky strut, he neared towards me.

With his bag, not with him, and someplace else and,
With his face covered in the bandages and,
With a large ring the size of my eyes on his finger...


"Nuna~~!!!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm just so happy to see you!!"


As if he were something new, like an invention, Eungyu continued to stare at Jaegwang.


"Hyung! What's your nuna's phone number?! Tell me please~~"

"I don't know."

"No way! Of course you do!"

"I swear..."

"Then what's your house number?!"

"My nuna likes a guy that's straight forward. Go take to her face to face."

"Really?! What time should I go over?!"

"Hey! Yoon Jaegwang! Get lost!"

"I can't because of Hyungpal!"

"And didn't I say not to act like you know me on the streets?!??! What are you doing walking around with that huge ring?!"

"Aren't you happy to see me?? TToTT"

"It's embarrassing to look at you!!!!"


Right as I was about to yell at him,
One of his friends pulled him a short distance away and whispered something to him..

And...
With a serious face, he crept towards me..
And with protective eyes, stared at Eungyu.
Quickly he grabbed my wrist,
And started to pull me away.


"Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Retard, you don't know anything do you?"


He slowly grasped onto my wrist tighter, and continued to pull me forward..
When I turned around for a short second,
I saw Eungyu looking at me and Jaegwang with a confused expression on his face.


Ow!! Yoon Jaegwang!!


"Let go of my wrist! Do you want to get hit in public?!"


With his mouth tightly shut,
He started to slow down.
Chapter 11


People on the street avoided us as Jaegwang dragged me home.. and one by one, his friends all went their own ways..

I should have never stopped working out.. TT_TT

Only when we had reached the house,
Did Jaegwang let go of my wrist.


"Yoon Jaegwang! What's wrong with you?!"


As if it were a lot of work pulling me,
His forehead was beaded with sweat.


"Retard!! Don't be alone with him ever again!!"

"Him..? 'Him' who?!"

"That guy that looks really weird!! The one with the guitar!!"

"He looks weird in your opinion? You always say things like that when the person you're talking about is better looking that you~!!"

"You stupid dork! Obsessed with looks!!"

"...it feels weird hearing that from you.."


With an annoyed expression,
Jaegwang opened his mouth when..

From Shin Eungyu's house,
The gorgeous looking woman stepped out... (His nuna)
With two long legs, she passed us..


"She's really pretty isn't she, Jaegwang?"

"Dammit. She's so gorgeous..."

"Wasn't it just a little while ago when you called me 'a dork obsessed with looks'..?"

"We're related aren't we? I'm going to the dojo~ Bye!"


Using the dojo as an excuse, Yoon Jaegwang chased after there gorgeous lady.


"Hey! Aren't you going to tell me why I shouldn't meet himt?!??!"


Instead of answering, he waved his hand twice..
And quickened his pace..
What the hell.. ..

That night, Jaegwang didn't come home..

It's obvious that on the way home, he met one of his old friends, went drinking,
And passed out somewhere..

He couldn't be with Eungyu's nuna...
And he probably wouldn't have kidnapped her..
What if Hyungpal kidnapped him..?!
Wait, never mind.
Like the night before, I crept up to the attic door.

I didn't see Shin Eungyu..

 

+Next day around 1+


"Hey! Get up!! Jungwon! Get up!!"

"Huh....."


It was my mom, staring at me with an annoyed expression..


"Where is Yoon Jaegwang?! And why did he turn off his cell phone?!"

"I don't know, I'm going to sleep..."

"..and what are you doing here?! Why aren't you going to your extra classes after school?! Heesook's daughter always goes!!"

"..Oh, that' because my teacher is pregnant."

"You're teacher's a man.."

"But our sub is a woman."

"Heesook's daughter is in your class!! Why is she going?!"

"...she moved rooms..."

"Go to school!!!!"
