Talking Eyes by Mia Lafreve Pedretti (bill gates books to read txt) 📖

I sighed again. "Heroes.." I didn't feel bad, because I've proposed that song and because I knew I wasn't such a good songwriter. "And Don't Give Up." I ended. Yang Soo Ki seemed taken back. Ah jinjia! This so awful..

They stayed silent too long for my taste. I felt even more guilty. I stood up from the bed and sat down next to my bandmates. The ones that were making me worry to death. I sighed. Say something. Anything. But they didn't. I sighed again. Per favore (Please)..say something! I didn't know if she heard my internal pray, but Yang Soo Ki finally spoke. "And did he explain the reason?" I sighed again.

"He said that they're commercial and that I must re-write them. All by myself." I felt so bad just by saying it.

"And what he said about your songs instead?" She asked me.

"Well..He said that they are good. That's all." I shrugged as if it wasn't such a big thing.

"Oh Please! Just say the truth already!" Yang Suk Ki replied didn't falling in my trap.

"Ok Ok!" Sometime she was very pushy. Anyway, I paused before speaking again. "He said that they are mature and have deep meaning in them, or something like that. And that, they're too different from the other songs, who are simple and commercial."

"So, if we want to be taken seriously by the people, we have to leave to you the writing parts from now on, am I correct?" Yun Baek Ki said surprising us.

"Hem, yes." I answered still surprised. "But I think that I'll always need your help. I mean we are a group after all, not a solo-group. I can't take all the responsibility of the songs we wrote. I can't do it all by myself." I expressed what I felt inside. I brushed my hair frustrated.

"But you're not alone." Yang Suk Ki Finally spoke after a few minutes of silence. I was quite worried when she didn't talk to me.

"You're not mad at me?" I asked with a low voice. She closed the distance between she and I. She took a deep breath and then spoke, "Of course I'm mad, but not at you silly."

"No?"

"Of course not." She finally smiled and that get rid of all the tension on my shoulders. "I'm mad at myself. I thought he would have like the songs we wrote, but it comes out that I was wrong."

"Don't be. I mean, we just have to re-write them. At least he didn't put them totally aside."

"You mean, you have to re-write them." Yang Suk Ki said back.

"Well, yes."

She nodded. "Then, there's no other options. We'll have to pass you every songs we write, so you'll give them that deep and mature feeling of yours."

"And you're alright with that?" I asked her.

"Well, yes. As long as me and Yun Baek Kee can sing, for me it's ok." She shrugged.

"You're alright with that too Baek-ha?" I asked her to be sure.

"Yes, I'm alright with that." She nodded and smiled too.

I sighed in relief. "Thank God. I thought you guys would have get mad at me.."

"Noo.." Kim Min Hae waved her hand denying it.

"We know that you are a better songwriter than us." Yun Baek Ki added.

"Yes, she's truly right." Yang Suk Ki nodded agrees. "So,We just have to create the music's ground and you wrote the lyrics on them. Simple." She proposed.

"That's sounds fair enough." I was agree with her, but.. "But i'd like you guys to continue to write songs too. I think that it will keep us united." I didn't want to be left alone either. No good things comes out when you're all alone. Especially from me. Loneliness bring bad thoughts with his self. And I don't need others bad thoughts fill up my mind.

"I think you're right." She wondered on it for a few minutes. "Yes. You're absolutely right. We have to stay unit as much as possible."

"Exactly!"

"Then it's a deal." She concorded. "We'll stay with you when you'll re-write the songs."

"And I'll profit and watch you and learn how to write in the good way the songs." Yang Suk Ki added.

"Me too! Me too!" Yun Baek Kee said.

"I..I'll just watch. I don't think I can write songs." Kim Min Hae said instead. "I'm a drummer, not a songwriter."

"That's alright though." I said looking at her. "The important thing, is to stay together." Then I looked also at the others and they nodded agrees. Oh thank they didn't get mad at me.

"Yumi-ha?" Yang Suk Ki called me.

"De?" I looked at her.

"Why you put on your pajamas? Don't you know that it's just 16:00 pm?"

"Ah..True." I exclaimed looking at myself.

"Always daydreaming aren't you?" She snapped, but still smiled though. I smiled too, because she was right. My head was always in the clouds. Full of thoughts. 

"I'll come to you guys, when I change clothes Okay?"

"Okay." They said in sync exiting the room. With the cameras too.

I changed clothes and put on normals ones. A nice pair of blue shorts and a cute green shirt, rigorously with long sleeves. No one must see this body. I combed my hair and then I stepped out of the room too. I walked into the kitchen to take some snacks and then went into the sitting room, sat down on the carpet next to Yang Suk Ki and the girls and watched tv.

"When will you get to work and re-write the songs?" Yang Suk Ki asked me, never breaking eye contact with the tv's display.

"Tomorrow, now I'm too tired." I answered hypnotized too like her.

"Okay." Were her last words. Later, when we were still watching tv, my phone rang. I grabbed it instantly. It was a message from Ji Yong. Yang Suk Ki noticed it too, but when she saw that it was from Ji Yong, she acted as if she didn't hear anything. Because there were still those damn cameras around us. I secretly checked up the message.

GD *Hey piccola, I just wanted to tell you that I'm busy recording with all my pals. I'll come at night though. Wait for me ok?! Bye!*

I sneakily replied back. YUMI *Okay. Bye!* Then I returned to my favourite drama with Kim So Hyun as lead actor.. Mamma, Che figo!(He's so hot)

AT NIGHT..(22:00 PM)

What a beautiful moonlight. I thought while staring at the moon.

The damn cameras had already left. Grazie al cielo. Me and Yang Suk Ki moved again the dining table under the window, so we could have looked at the moon. Like we were used to. This time, there were also Baeki-ha and Mine-ha. They didn't go to sleep, because they wanted to see me and Ji Yong. They never saw us together as a couple before. So they were all excited. They even had their phones with them, ready to shoot some pictures. I did wanted too, to shoot some selfies of me and Oppa, mostly to proof to myself, that this whole story wasn't just a dream. I had to warn the girls, before they got started with the shooting though.

"I can't wait to see you with Ji Yong-Oppa!" Kim Min Hae squealed, all trembling on the chair.

"Da too! Da too!" Yun Baek Ki agrees too. Yang Suk Ki shook her head smiling.

"You guys are really crazy." She mumbled and I was indeed agree with her.

"Baek-ha, Mine-ha calm down please Eh?!" I tried to calm them down with my voice. "Ji Yong will certainly be tired when he's gonna come. Please don't bother him too much okay?"

"De." They said in stereo.

"Shoot a couple of pictures and that's it."

"DE!"

"You talk as if you aren't excited too, but I know that you are." Yang Suk Ki said looking at me.

"Of course I'm excited too." I said back. Who said I'm not? "But I don't want him to feel burdened. You know, he was already upset with the journalists. I don't want to upset him more."

"Oh..Speaking about that. Would you tell me what happened after the show?" She asked, remembering that I didn't want to tell the story in front of the cameras. But now there wasn't any camera around. So I was free to talk about it. Even if I was starting to get mad. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Then I spoke.

"We were just out of the building, Ji Yong was in the front and Choi Seung Hyun Oppa was behind. I was in the middle of the two." I begun. "People were pushing us here and there. Fans were shouting our name to get our attentions and the journalists were doing the same."

"Waa.." Baeki-ha and Mine-ha exclaimed amazed and a little scared their self.

"Keep talking." Yang Suk Ki invited me to continue.

"Well, above that amount of rowdy voices, one caught my ears. It was a female voice." I said. "I didn't saw her though."

"And what did she said that made you so much upset?" Yang Suk Ki asked me. She truly know me. I couldn't have never hid something from her.

"She said that Ji Yong Oppa pitys me, that's why he's always beside me."

"What a slutty B*tch!" Was the first reaction of Yun Baek Kee.

"Baeki-ha!" Yang Suk Ki scolded her.

"Sorry eoni." She apologized. "But you have to admit, that girl has been indeed bad to Yumi-eoni."

"Ye!" Kim Min Hae nodded agreed with her pal.

"I didn't say she hasn't been bad to her." Yang Suk Ki replied. "But watch out your mouth." She said to the maknae.

"De." Yun Baek Kee nodded.

"But can I, at least use the word damn?"

"Sure."

"Then, damn her!" The youngster exclaimed. Yang Suk Ki sighed but smiled too.

She turned her head towards me again. "And what happened after that? Did you talk back at her? What did you do?"

"Well, one of the journalist near me, ask me what I say to those who hates me. I think he heard her too."

"Ah." They all exclaimed

"And what did you reply eoni?" Yun Baek Kee asked me.

"I just replied that, I had a great time with Uncles Doni&Coni and that their hatred towards me, wouldn't have affected my good mood. Just that." I replied shrugging.

"Good girl." Yang Suk Ki smiled raised her thumb up at me. "You have been polite, but also fierce. Good Job. A real good job!" I smiled too, proud of myself. 

"I wouldn't have reacted the same way as you, eoni." Kim Min Hae admitted.

"Yeah. Definitely!" Yun Baek Kee nodded agree with her. "You've been too kind to her eoni."

"Better be kind than look vulgare and bad mouthed in front of the journalists. And paps too." Yang Suk Ki said at my place. "Don't ever forget that we are popular now. You can't act like you want in front of the cameras."

"Damn it!"

"Exactly."

"We surely have to act politely.." I said. I wasn't quite agree with what Yang Suk Ki said. "But stay always ourselves."

"And how the hell we're supposed to do that?" Kim Min Hae asked me.

"Well.." I wondered for a while. "You must answer to every question the journalist ask you, but always tell the truth. Not the real truth, but the soft and tricky one.." I tried to explain.

"I didn't understand that." She said.

"Me neither eoni." Yun Baek Kee added with a confused look placed on her face

"You're surely brave with speeches. But with explanations...You suck!" Yang Suk Ki stated shaking her head.

I didn't have the time to reply, that someone knocked at our door. "Hey piccola it's me!" It was Ji Yong's voice.

"Waa!" Yun Baek Ki exclaimed all shaking out of excitement.

"Omo! Did Oppa just called eoni..piccola?" Kim Min Hae asked to her. She was excited too.

"I believe he did! Oh My God!"

"Waah! I'm so excited!"

"Ya!" I scolded them. "Act normal! Please!" I begged them. I stood up and went towards the door.

"Prepare your phones. Palliwa!" Yang Suk Ki pressured them.
