Chapter 30
Brightness, that's all I can see. The sun's warmth warmed the skin on my cheeks as I stood there staring at the giant cross. Wow, that's one big Jesus Christ. I turned around and stared up at the high ceiling with the arches and all. Woooww so pretty. Why am I here though? Maybe I'm waiting for Chrystal! Why would I be waiting for Chrystal at church though? That's such a weird place to meet up...but I guess we're not considered normal anyways. Where is Chrystal anyways then? Still amazed, I look around the church from my spot. The wall colors were a soft cream while the floor was an old wooden color. There were columns in specific places that just made it look even prettier. The glass stained windows made different color schemes on the floors. Can't forget about the giant stained glass behind holy Jesus Christ and the one right infront of me! All the seats are empty and it was just really really quiet. It was sorta scary...except not cause there was sunlight everywhere. Pictures were placed all over the walls...mostly of Jesus and other holy things. They looked...ancient. I still don't understand why I'm here! I looked down at myself and then gasped. How the hell did I not notice what I was wearing before?? I mean, I'm wearing a pretty heavy and ridiculous outfit. Ridiculously PRETTY! Mwhahahaha. White gown with white shoes, oh man, I must look gorgeous. I patted the material and gasped at how soft it was. I had to lift it up to look at my shoes. A veil suddenly covered my eyes but I didn't really wonder how it appeared. I'm in a wedding outfit...in a church...AM I GETTING MARRIED? TO CHRYSTAL? WHAAAT? OUR RELATIONSHIP ISN'T LIKE THAT! NEVEERRRR! There was a sound and I looked around trying to figure out where it came from. The front big door started to creak open slowly. The church started to suddenly fill up, spurts of people appearing at the once empty benches.
"Wow look at Mimi~ she's so prettyyy" Asuka said from one of the front seats. She was sitting next to Yamapi. He looked REALLY handsome.
"Look at my bestfriend. Yeah MY best friend!" Chrystal said from behind me. I spun around and stared at her smiling face. Oh there she is...then what? I'm not getting married to her? OH that's good. Cindy, Wanda, Vicky, and Vi were next to her now smiling at me as well. The minister also appeared. He looked friendly and ASIAN!!! The church suddenly became crowded with my friends and family. My parents sat up in the front along with Nicky, Emma, and even my brother! And he's sitting next to...a girl? Well she's pretty! There's something very wrong with this picture....very very wrong. If it's a wedding, aren't I suppose to be the one to be walking down the aisle?? Not the one to be here waiting! Oh well...I've always had the guy roles in relationships anyways. The door finished creaking open and like...a beam of light came through. It reminded me of Yamapi's drama, the wedding one. Aw man, I'm not getting married to Yamapi! Let's see...who is missing from the audience...that just means that person will be the person I'm marrying!
"Are you getting worried Mimi?" Uknow asked in a concern voice from my left. My eyes got wide and I looked at him. He was standing a little off with rest of DBSK. I blinked...am I going to...oh my god. A big smile appeared on my face as I looked at the door anxiously. I started to get fidgety and excited. I squinted through the veil even though I could see perfectly fine. I guess it's just a habit of my blindness. A shadow started to appear from the front entrance...a familiar outline. The guests started to stand up and clap. Even flowers were being thrown. One step entered the church and my eyes fixed on Hero's face. Yyeeessss it's Hero!! Mwhahahaha! He got closer and closer, a smile appearing on his face. Oh my goddd he looks so freakin sexy. I heard the DBSK members snicker amongst themselves as the crowd was still wild. It got quiet through and they all sat down as Hero reached me. He extended his arm out and I stared at it confused. I smiled as I slowly reached out and held it. He held it tightly and then bowed his head like he was apologizing...what?
"MIMI WAKE UP! WE HAVE TO GO DRESS SHOPPING!" Chrystal yelled loudly as she barged into my room and shook my bed violently. "COME CINDY! HELP ME! WE HAVE TO WAKE MIMI UP!"
"OKAY!" I heard Cindy respond and I felt the bed sink a little and shake some more. I felt a tugging to my blanket and I pulled it closer to me tightly. "MIMI WAKE UPPP" Cindy and Chrystal both said.
I opened my eyes slowly and stared both at Cindy and Chrystal, a little confused. Whaaat? It was a dream? I...want to get married to Hero. What is this, why did they have to wake up from my good dream. They stared down at me and started to laugh. "What?" I mumbled.
"Your face!" Chrystal responded.
"You look so dazed" Cindy added in.
I laughed softly, "Thanks"
"Get up Mimi! We have to go dress shopping" Chrystal repeated.
"I'm not going" I responded right away like I've been trained to say it. They got quiet and I did too. I covered my mouth like as if I did something bad and then I really thought about why I said that. What...am I talking about?
"Yeah you are Mimi! Why wouldn't you go? It's a PARTTYY! There might be alcohol~" Chrystal said.
Cindy laughed, "Not like they'll give her any Chrystal...we're underage and they know it"
"Oh...psh maybe someone can sneak her some" Chrystal said brushing it off. They both stayed quiet as I rolled over so my face was in my pillow. It's like they didn't know what to say next.
"Aw come on Mimi, we don't need guys to have fun at parties!" Cindy said cheerfully.
"Yeah! I can be your date! It's all good!" Chrystal said as she pushed my leg.
I rolled over and sighed, "...Crap...Hero broke up with me...I don't have a date..."
Chrystal and Cindy laughed nervously, "Uh....yeeaahhh..."
"I can find you a date~" Cindy said as she nudged me.
"NO SHE'S GOING WITH ME!" Chrystal said.
"Then what about Tegoshi?" Cindy asked.
"...CHICKS BEFORE DICKS CINDY!" Chrystal replied loudly as if it was an answer. Wait, it is! Yayy she chose me over Tegoshi! Unlike...Cindy who would probably reject me. Awww.
"SO MIMI! WAKE UP AND WE'LL BE PRETTY!" Chrystal said.
I groaned, "I look horrible...my eyes hurt. I don't wanna get up"
"Make up is magical" Chrystal said, "We'll make you look pretty again!"
"Exactly! And we'll cheer you up and everyythinngg will be finneee" Cindy said.
I sighed as I sat up lazily. My hair was obvisouly a mess, I could feel it on my head. A big lump. I looked at myself in the mirror from my bed. I had to squint, my vision had really gotten worse, but I could tell my eyes were puffy and big black lump on my head. Ugghh I need to shower...and get over Hero. Chrystal and Cindy sat on both sides of me and nudged me. They nudged me again when I showed no reaction...and again and again. Soon I had to let out a laugh...afterall they're Chrystal and Cindy.
Me and Cindy let out a sigh as Mimi finally got up from her butt and went into the bathroom. Usually it doesn't take this much effort to wake her up! All Hero's fault!! How could he dump my best friend for some other chick? What a...jerk. We shall beat him up if we ever see him again. NO WE SHALL GO TO KOREA AND BEAT UP HIM! THEN...MEET F.T. ISLAND AND BIG BANG! Yeesss. And eat all the gooooood fooooood. I guess we should just go through today first. Man~ even Mimi played it safe last night at the club. We decided to go to Club VMXCR to celebrate some more. She rejected many guys from dancing with her and completely ignored people who were hitting on her. We tried to encourage her but...she didn't listen to us. If only Hero was like...but no what does he do? He goes and runs off with another girl! Stupid boys. I looked over and....Cindy was gone. Where did she go?! My phone started to ring and I spazzed to find it. I patted around the bed and found it. I guess it fell out of my...pocket?
"Heelllooo?" I answered.
"Hey" Tegoshi replied back in a soft voice.
"Hello?" I asked again.
"Hey" Tegoshi said louder, "It's me?"
"Oh hi!"
Tegoshi laughed, "Who did you think it was other than me?"
I laughed now, "Uhhh...someone elseee"
"Someone elseee that's a boy?" he asked curiously. Aw man...is he getting jealous and...stupid?
"Just kidding!" I said before anything weird happened.
"That's gooood. Are you excited for tonight?" he asked.
I layed back on the bed and stared at the ceiling, "Umm yup. Me, Cindy, and Mimi are about to go dress shopping!"
"Mimi is back?"
"Yeah since last night. We threw a small party for her with Arashi!"
"Arashi?" he asked in a little higher voice, "What did you guys do?"
"We cooked a curry dish and then just had fun together"
"Ooh...I like curry"
I laughed softly, "I know!"
"Aiba called me this morning telling me about the plans for tonight..."
I got confused, "Plans? What?"
"Well. Before the story was just that Ryo and I were going together and meet up with Aiba. We're going there for the charitable cause. But..since Ryo isn't going then it's just going to be me and Aiba" he explained.
I rolled over, "Ryo isn't going to be there? Why?"
There was some noise on the other line, "Uh...because Vicky and Ryo...broke up last night..." he said slowly.
"...What? They did? I haven't heard anything..."
"Oh...well it was very late, so maybe Vicky hasn't told you yet"
"Yeah...I haven't seen her. Wait, then that means that she doesn't have a date...like Mimi"
He was the confused one now, "Mimi doesn't have a date? What about her boyfriend?"
"They broke up..." I said as Mimi came out of the bathroom. I rolled over and smiled at her creepily. It's normal between us! Perfectly normal! She gave me a weird look though as she grabbed her outfit and went back into the bathroom. I didn't understand why, we've changed in front of each other before. It's all normal!
"Oh..." then he gasped, "They can go together! Vicky and Mimi!"
"No! I was going to go with Mimi!" I said.
"I thought you were going with me!" Tegoshi said back.
I paused, "Uh...I'll go with both of you!"
Tegoshi laughed and then continued in a quiet voice, "But I don't want to share you~"
I laughed now, a little embarassed, "Too bad!"
"Oi oi oi who is Tegoshi talking to?" I heard Koyama yelling in the background.
"Chrystal obviously!" Shige said.
Tegoshi laughed, "Be quiet!" and then there was just more commotion. Mimi came back out and smiled at me. She jumped on the bed and grabbed the phone.
"Hi Tegoshi bye Tegoshi! Gonna steal your girlfriend back now!" and she hung up quickly and laughed evily. I laughed at her as well then felt a little bad for Tegoshi. OH well, I'll just see him later tonight.
I patted Mimi's leg, "OH so Tegoshi just told me Vicky is dateless as well..."
She gave me the most confused look ever, "What? Isn't she going with Ryo?"
"They broke up..."
"Like me and Hero?!" she asked...almost sounding excited. Is she joking?
I nodded, "Yes...?"
Mimi nodded slowly as she sucked in her breath, "Maybe...we can go together! Then I won't have to go with you!"
I sat up quickly, blinked, and hit her knee again, "Are you saying you don't want to with me huh? Huh are you?!"
Mimi laughed and she shook her head, "Nooooo"
"Yeah sure. Whatever Mimi!" I said pretending to be angry. Gosh, why can't people just understand I can go with as many people as I want!...even though I won't. Nyhahahah.
It's really hot here...sitting and staring at the camera. The lights shining directly at us. I look at Changmin and Micky. They both had smiles on their faces as they nodded and listen carefully to the interviewer. I guess...I should pretend I'm paying attention as well. So I stared at her face intently, sometimes glancing out into the open studio. She was wearing something she definitely would not be wearing on a normal day. I looke down at my own outfit and rest of the members. Oh I guess we wouldn't be wearing these outfits either. Her skirt was too short and her shirt was too low of a cut. I looked away before I was caught staring..any lower. Mimi wouldn't wear something like that...or hopefully she wouldn't. Or else too many guys would be killed as they crossed the street. I covered myself as I stopped myself from laughing and imagining. Uknow was answering a question and I looked at her again. Her hair is long and curled...clipped back professionally. Make up is medium, her eyes look pretty. Fragrance...good but barely there. Why...am I analyzing her?
"Jaejong?" she said as she stared at me with wide eyes. I stared back with my big eyes.
"Yes?" I asked.
Micky laughed, "She asked you a question! You should answer"
I laughe softly now as I covered my mouth again, "Ah...what did you ask?"
She smiled, "Your necklace. It has a lock on it. Does it resemble something?"
I looked down at my necklace that I've started to wear since last night. It was...Hyun's idea. I told her about Mimi..but left out the point why. I'm not sure if she knows but it's too late to change anyways. She gave me a necklace though...that had a lock on it and told me I couldn't take it off until..."it was time" whatever that meant. I looked at her and the rest of the members who seemed to want an answer.
"Uhh...a friend gave it to me. To resemble lost love" I said with a soft laugh, "Just kidding~"
"Eh?" she asked with a half smile on her face as she leaned in closer. The other members were looking at me with smiles on their faces as well.
I laughed softly now, "Just kidding! Kidding kidding. Not like I could have a girlfriend right now when I'm so busy with work"
"Ahh that's true. How are all your own activities going?" she asked.
"They're going well. Or at least mine is. Everyday I do work as I think about dedicated fans that wil llisten to it later" Xiah said seriously as he looked at the camera.
"Whooo, tricky tricky. Trying to get more fans right now?" Micky said with a laugh as he gently hit Xiah's shoulder. Xiah could only left out an embarassed laugh.
"I'm doing a lot of dancing so I feel...healthy everyday" Uknow said.
The interviewer laughed, "Healthy? Are you not healthy now?"
Uknow still had a smile on his face, "Ah no....I'm sweating a lot...healthy" Changmin chipped in to try and help the awkward situation. It worked out somehow. Even though I enjoy being on TV and geting publicity and such...this is quite boring. I like the ones where we are more active...and possibily get to eat good food for free. Ah food~. Hopefully my day will get better.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE PARTY! Dressing up is pretty fun too, but party yayy! I sat in the kitchen...still waiting for Chrystal and Mimi to come down. I heard a noise at the staircase and Vicky lazily walked down the stairs. She saw me in the kitchen, smiled, and sat down.
"Hi" I said.
"Hii" she answered back with a sigh.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Trouble already this afternoon?"
She nodded as she got up and got a glass of milk. She sat back down as she made an angry face, "Stupid Ryo. He freakin is an idiot. UGHH I hate boys. They should all just like....die. Burn. Die. I'll kill them all" and she drank her milk angrily.
I blinked. "WHAT? Since when? What did he do?" I listened for the next couple of minutes as she explained about her whole situation and what Momo boss said...and then the outcome. Wow...messed up. I can't believe...Ryo listened to him. I hope he's just kidding. Maybe he'll show up at the party and be like 'SURPISE!'...I think Vicky would still be mad at him though. Maann...was just a little stupid rumor.
"So what are you going to do? Are you dateless now? Are you not gonna go like how Mimi kept saying last night and today?!" I asked.
Vicky gave me her weird look, "No! I'm still going. Psh, screw boys. Them and their penises. UGH I NEED TO VENT WITH MIMI!"
I laughed, "You can rant to her at the party..."
"NO! We'll be picking up dope eye contacts with guys at the party. Many chances there" she said.
I laughed again, "Lots of eye sex gonna happen then"
"YEESS" she answered as she finished her drink. "What are you guys up to today?"
"We're going dress shopping...and you?" I asked.
"I wanna go!! Even though I already picked out my dress...oh well! I can...buy more or or help you guys all pick some!" Vicky said happily. I have a feeling she's going to get rid of her sadness buy spending lots of money. Naahh she's not like thaaat. We waited for a little bit longer before Mimi and Chrystal came down the stairs.
“All ready!” Chrystal said as she came down the stairs. Since we were a little short on time, they only grabbed a couple of things to eat and then we were in the car. Vicky decided she wanted to drive today…with our help too look out. Mimi and Chrystal already seemed to knew where we were going. Something about waiting for a day like this to buy these kind of dresses. No idea but we listened to them. It was in the city, a big and very pretty looking dress store. It also looked really expensive. We found a parking spot near by and headed inside. Instantly, we were greeted by a salesperson, probably grabbing us before anyone does. Or maybe she recognized us, that’s more likely. Anyways, she seemed like a nice lady…very classy looking.
“Hello ladies. May I help you today?” she asked.
Mimi smiled, “Uhh we’re looking for dresses”
“Ah, I can help you with that. My name is Amy. Is this for a special occasion?” she asked as she lead us in.
“Umm for a special party” Mimi answered.
“So…more formal I’m guessing?”
“Yeah” Mimi answered and we were brought to the full length dresses. They were veryy pretty. We started to look around as the sales person left us alone for a little bit. We were all amazed by the selection, colors, and style. So many to choose from!
“Ooh I like this one!” Chrystal said as she pulled out one but then sighed, “But I don’t look good in full dresses…”
“I’m…too short” Mimi said but then smiled, “But I guess that’s what heels are for!”
“I want to buy a dress too~” Vicky said.
Mimi laughed, “Didn’t you already buy one?”
Vicky smiled as she pulled one out and put it against herself while she faced the mirror, “Yeeahh but I can always change my mind!”
I pulled out a black one that had my size, “I like this one”
“Oooh I like!” Mimi said, “Try it on Cindyrella!”
“Ookay” I said as I found the dressing room. It was right next to us. I bet it’s because they don’t want us to be dragging these dresses all across the store.
“I want to try on dresses too!” Chrystal said as I heard russle of noises and the door next to mine opened and closed. The dress slid on me easily and it actually felt very comfortable. I stepped out and peered around the corner…the room was empty. I stood and looked at myself in the mirror. I LOOK SO PRETTYYY. The doors behind me opened and Mimi, Chrystal, and Vicky stepped out. They were all wearing dresses too! Somehow, we all managed to pick different styles that all matched our body very well.
“CINDY YOUR BACK IS EXPOSED” Chrystal said as she pointed at me.
I laughed, “No wonder why it felt cold…?”
Vicky laughed too, “It looks pretty on you!”
Mimi went up and stood next to me, “How do I look?!”
“Pretty!” I said, “Are you sure about the color?”
Mimi shrugged, “I’m not sure…too blue?”
“I think so…” I said.
Vicky came up as well, “Am I too silver then?”
I shook my head, “No I like it. It looks nice against your skin color”
Vicky made a weird face, “Uhh thanks?”
Next we examined Chrystal who kept saying she looked short in long dresses but kept complimenting us. We tried on many dresses afterwards and had the hardest time choosing. The sales lady was really patient and also gave us feedback. We found a section for shoes and bags. Vicky was drawn to it instantly and we followed. My phone started to ring and I stepped aside to answer it.
“Hello?” I said.
“Hello. Where are you girls?” Momo boss asked.
“Trying on dresses and now shoes…”
“Why? I’ve already told the stylist to prepare the dresses…”
“Eh? Really?” I asked confused.
He laughed, “Yes. We just have to do custom fitting now which won’t take long since I’m pretty sure these will fit you girls. Then we have to do hair and make up…”
I put the phone down, “Uhh…boss says that our dresses are already prepared. We just have to try them on and do our hair…”
“REALLY? Awwww” Mimi said disappointed.
“What if…we want to buy a dress?” Chrystal asked.
“I don’t think we have time for that today”
“Are our shoes also planned too?” Vicky asked as she gazed at all the shoe choices.
“Are our shoes prepared?” I asked him.
“Yes. Please get home quickly girls” he said seriously.
“Okay. Bye!” and I hung up. “He wants us home like…right now”
“Right noooww? We can’t continue shopping?” Chrystal asked sadly.
Mimi sighed as she got up, “Aw man. I was hoping to have fun spending money…”
“Me too~” Vicky said.
I laughed, “We can spend money another day!”
I hurried them back to the car. The sales lady only seemed a little annoyed and sad that we were leaving. Oh well, we’ll come back another time and buy dresses for whatever occasion we have. I decided I would drive even though Mimi and Chrystal rejected the idea. Too bad! It’s not like I drive like Wanda! Now she’s a little crazy… some times. We reached home in no time and inside the house. Hands grabbed us and we were guided to the middle area of the second floor. Dresses were being shown on models.
“WOAH THEY’RE SO PRETTY” Mimi said as she ran up to one.
Gary laughed, “I know they are right? That one is yours Mimi” he said as he nodded. Mimi’s eyes got wide as she circled it.
“Does it FIT me?” she asked. Gary shrugged and waved his arm and the dress was taken down and Mimi was rushed into her room. Everyone else was like this including me. The lady made me take off my clothes like I wouldn’t listen or something. She help me carefully put on the dress. I felt my back cold again. The dress fit me perfectly…I guess Gary does know our sizes. She smiled at me as she stood back.
“Does anything feel uncomfortable?” she asked.
I shook my head as I moved a little, “Nope! It fits very well”
“Good. It looks very nice on you” she said with a nod, “Let’s show your boss”
“Okay!” I said as she opened the door. I guess I was the first one and I stepped our. Gary stood up and smiled. I stood in the middle and he circled around eyeing the fabric. He gave me the shoes to wear which I did.
“Do the shoes fit?” he asked.
“Yeah. They don’t hurt” I said as I took a couple of steps.
“Good good. Well I think you’re all set. Now go get your hair done” he said.
“Wait! I wanna see the others too” I said before I was rushed to take it off again.
The doors opened and they all came out, including Wanda. They were also made to put on shoes and Gary inspected each of them carefully.
“It’s a little too tight around here” Mimi said around her boob area.
“It’s a little too loose here” Vicky said as she put her hands around her waist area.
“Hmm it feels too long” Chrystal said as she pulled up the length.
Wanda smiled, “I think mine is perfect!”
After listening to all this, we were all made to take off our dresses and have them quickly tailored. They were only small adjustments, and these ladies are professionals. We had completely separate people for our make up and hair. Oh boy…still so many things to do before we’re ready.
I met up with Aiba and Nino infront of our planned spot. Of course we asked Johnny if we were allwed to go to this public ccharity event and he agreed. Not like it interrupted our schedule or anything, plus it made us get more positive publicity. He doesn’t know the fact we’ll meet up with the girls at the party though. I felt a little bad going when Ryo wasn’t…I wonder if he’s angry I’m going? Ah I don’t think he’s like that. He didn’t even really explain his reason for his and Vicky break up. He just came in angry and then Yamapi came in behind him and gave us a be quiet face. Later he gathered us around and told us they broke up. Then he left us wondering what happened. Koyama wanted to ask but we stopped him. Maybe we shouldn’t ask. Ah but Chrystal can just tell me! She would probably know…but then again when I mentioned it she also didn’t seem to know they broke up. Hmm strange.
“Tegoshi?” Aiba asked.
I blinked and looked at him, “Yes?”
He laughed, “Are you nervous or something? You look dazed”
I laughed as I shook my head, “No no. Just wondering how Chrystal will look like”
Nino smiled, “Ehh, wouldn’t they look the same but better?”
Aiba nodded, “Ah I know what you mean. I bet they’ll look older…and very pretty”
I nodded as well, “…Yeah”
“But we look pretty handsome ourself!” Aiba said with a big smile.
I couldn’t help but smile back, “Of course!” I mean…I always look good~.
Aiba was wearing all black and he really did look very handsome. I wore white…I guess we were like opposites! And Nino wore black with blue. We were picked up in a limo which surprised us a little. I mean…it’s just a charity event right? I feel like it’s bigger…but let’s not think about that. The limo seemed rather long without the girls being rowdy in it. Ah I remember faintly being in a limo with the girls…long ago…after the club…and before I completely passed out. Now it was just make up artists who kept fixing me, Nino, and Aiba’s hair. It’s normal to us now…although sometimes it’s just a little annoying. Maybe that one strand of hair just doesn’t want to move! But they keep on trying! The limo stopped aand me and Aiba looked out the window.
“Tegoshi…there are lots of cameras…” Aiba said as he pointed out the tinted window.
I nodded, “I…see…”
Nino laughed, “Ah just go Aiba!”
Aiba sighed and shook his shoulders, “Alright! Let’s go!”
I laughed, “Let’s go!” and the door opened. We both put on smiling faces as we stepped out. Usually we would be greeted with fan cheers and…touches. But this time we’re greeted with camera flashes, clicks, and bajillion talks. It reminds me of the time in Sweden…hmm I want to go back there again. I stood by Aiba’s side and at points we were made to stop to take pictures. Ah~ I really felt like I was on the red carpet! At points me and Aiba were silly and didn’t do classy model poses. It felt good…for some reason…being taken pictures of. So many of them~. Suddenly it got louder and me, Nino, and Aiba looked back. A white limo opened up and my eyes got wide. Chrystal, Mimi, Vicky, Rolanda, and Cindy came out. They looked very different…good different. The cameras were on them and they smiled as they waved. Me and Chrystal locked eyes and she smiled at me and gave me a small wave. Yeah to ME, not to a camera! She was wearing a white dress…it matched me! Ah…how nice. They strolled up to us since we stopped in place. I watched as Cindy stood next to Aiba. They smiled at each other and Aiba put his hand behind her back. They both looked at cameras and smiled together. Ah! So I guess under these conditions I can touch Chrystal in the public! I went up to Chrystal and did the same. She looked at me confused at first then smiled. Soon, we were all taking pictures together. Me and Chrystal picture is recorded to the public~. We made our way to the entrance where the crowd of cameras died out. It was calmer in here and very structured. We were guided to our tables and surprisingly we were sitting at the same one. I sat down in between Chrystal and Mimi. We were all facing the stage…I wonder what’ll appear?
“It’s so cool in here!” Mimi said as she looked around.
Chrystal smiled, “I KNOW! And I thought I would be over dressed…definitely not”
Mimi laughed, “Ooh yeah”
“What’s going to appear on stage?” Aiba asked.
“The Gospellers” Cindy answered with a smile, “I’m excited to hear them live”
Mimi’s eyes got wide, “ME TOO! They sounded so good when I saw a clip of them with…DBSK”
Vicky nodded, “Ooh, I’m excited to hear now!”
There were also some other performances by artists that weren’t announced yet. But the main event was The Gospellers. Amazing acapella group right there…I’m excited to hear as well. Waiters came around giving us drinks…alcoholic and non alcoholic. I watched as Mimi tried to ask for alcohol but the waiter just laughed at her and gave her a strawberry drink. She was still happy though. The charity event started with the hosts going on and introducing themselves and what’s going on. They still kept the other performances unknown. I looked around and saw cameras rolling. It’s going to be broadcasted? Basically…after each performance, the table has to contribute a donation and anyone who wants to donate more under their own name will have to submit a separate slip later. Something about a prize for table with biggest donation at the end of the hour and half. Everyone seemed excited. I looked around and saw famous actors, actresses, singers, producers,…just a lot of famous people. Of course models like the girls I’m sitting with!
“Are you excited Tegoshi~?” Chrystal asked as she drank her water.
I nodded, “Yes!”
Chrystal laughed, “Me too”
The Gospellers appeared and introduced themselves. They talked some more about different causes and why they decided they wanted to do this. Then they began to sing. Their voice filled the whole place and everyone was mesmerized by their synchorization and harmony. It was beautiful to listen to. I looked at Chrystal and she had a big smiile on her face. Then I looked at Mimi who also had a big smile. I guess she doesn’t feel sad anymore that she’s single? I also saw Vicky and she also looked pretty happy. It’s either the magic of the music or…they’re just very good at hiding it. They continued to perform and at one point we had food coming our way too. When they finished, everyone applauded. It seemed like it would never end. They introduced the next performance and Chrystal literally gasped and squeeled. Mimi also did as well.
“FT ISLAND?!” Chrystal said loudly.
“WOOAAHH” Mimi responded. They were silent…out of shock…when they appeared and started to play a slow song. They were singing in English. I watched and smiled as the girls sang along. Of course… they were singing with perfect English pronounciation. For some reason after a couple of songs and we had to donate money, the girls were very VERY eager to give even more money. It’s all too a good cause! I watched as Aiba and Nino laughed at the girls. Ah they are silly~. Chrystal seemed as little sad as FT Island disappeared from the stage…
“NOO FT ISLAND! I WANT TO MEET YOU!” she said in a loud whisper because the audience was starting to quiet down.
“Can we go backstage?!” Mimi asked.
Cindy laughed, “I don’t think so Mimi”
“AWW MAN! WE’LL SNEAK IN MIMI” Chrystal said.
The music started for the next group and Rolanda and Cindy gasped and sat forward. “OH MY GOD BIG BANG” they both said at the same time. Me, Aiba, and Nino looked at each other. Do the girls know all the performers or something? I…never heard of them. Although this song does sound familiar and catchy. Ah…I wonder how it would be if NEWS did a song like this? I can’t really imagine it~. I bet Yamapi would be good for the rapping parts. Vicky also seemed excited and when the slow song came on, they all started to sway to it. Making us sway with them as well. They also laughed at parts as they attempted to rap along in Japanese. It was…funny to listen. Of course…the donation was even larger for this group. The next group to came on got a even bigger applause. They seemed to be very popular! The Gospellers came back out clapping as they introduced them and then they appeared on stage…Dong Bang Shin Ki. Ah~ the middle guy! I saw him…he was…Mimi’s boyfriend…I looked over at Mimi and her eyes were wide. She was staring straight at him. Chrystal nudged me and she was also looking at Mimi. Everyone seemed to be looking at Mimi except for Nino and Aiba. Cindy coughed then looked back at the stage. I watched to see if the guy would look back at Mimi. His gaze never left from the middle of the crowd or the other members. They introduced themselves…right his name is Jaejoong? I thought it was something English…? Ah whatever. They also talked and performed a song with the Gospellers. It was very good. Then they did their own song. I peered over at Mimi in the middle of one song and she didn’t have a smile on her face. She just kept staring at Jaejoong wherever he moved…even when he got off stage and disappeared to the back.
“Is there anyway we can go backstage?” Mimi asked in a rather serious tone.
“Don’t think so…” Cindy answered again.
“Are you sure?” Mimi asked.
Chrystal smiled, “We can ask them politely!”
“Yeah! I want to meet Big Bang!” Rolanda said.
“ME TOO!” Vicky said, “And…say hi to DBSK…”
Chrystal smiled big, “I want to meet FT ISLAND!”
Nino laughed, “Ah you girls are going to cause trouble…”
Cindy had a smirk on her face, “I guess we can…if we just donate more money…~”
Aiba blinked and looked at Cindy, “MORE MONEY? Aren’t you girls going to run out?!”
“Psh it’s all good. We’ll make it back since we’re packed full until college starts…plus it’s for a good cause Aiba!” Cindy said.
Chrystal nodded, “GOOD CAUSE! LET’S GO!”
Vicky laughed, “Wait…I think we should wait till they’re done”
“Oh…okay” Chrystal answered.
Me, Aiba, and Nino looked at each other with our mouths dropped…except for Nino who had more of a smirk. Ah…these girls…even Chrystal!
