Haven't Met You Yet - Chapter 21

Haven't Met You Yet

Recap:

“Err~ I also want don’t want to sit near the window.” she pouted.

“How about Bom? Ask Bom to switch place with her.”

“Bommie Unnie is already asleep. We don’t want to wake her up.”

I guess I don’t have a choice, eh?

:::

“Excuse me,” I mumbled as I try to squeeze myself in order to go to my respective sit near the window.

“What are you doing here?”

Haven't Met You Yet
Chapter 21

Present 2009

As he walked past several rows of seats, he felt like backing out and going back to Chaerin to tell her he had changed his mind and that he want to get his seat back. He stopped just right beside the row where she's sitting, giving him a chance to study her face.

She looked so pale and frail that he had the urged to hug her and make her feel at better. Her eyes were closed but he knew that she is awake for the constant movement she manages to make, another evidence of her unease.

“Excuse me,” he mumbled as he tried to squeeze himself in order to go to his respective sit near the window. The girl slowly opened her eyes.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice so soft that he barely heard it even though he's so near her.

"Chaerin wanted to switch places." he answered. "Is it okay?" when she did not respond he continued, "I can just asked the other boys to trade places with me if you're still mad about..."

"It's okay," waving her hand weakly. "Just don't move too much..."

He settled himself on the seat beside her and looked out of the window.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking we would like to welcome you aboard Tokyo International Airlines flight to Seoul, Korea flight duration is around two hours and 30 minutes and we are expecting a fairly smooth flight today. Once again we thank you for choosing to fly with us and we hope you enjoy your flight."

The plane was about to take off. Jiyong could see Dara becoming more pale than she already is, if that could even be possible, by the minute that he somehow felt so worried about her. "Here..."

"Huh?"

"Here, let's share I'm watching a good movie! I'm sure you'd love it..." It was like an impulseon his part. Like he had this feeling that easing the girl's fear had been history repeating itself, which is very weird knowing that he had only met her a few days back. He wanted to take Dara's mind off from her fear, trying to coax her into just watching the movie and forgetting that they are on an airplane, thousands and thousands of kilometers from the ground.

"I don't want to watch a film..." she mumbled and closed her eyes tightly when she heard the engine of the plane roar louder than before.

"It's really good!" Jiyong tried to perk the interest of the girl once again, retelling the story of the movie he had just watched.

"Well, I think I don't need to watch the movie anymore. You already told me everything..."

"Err~~ but I think you still need to watch it. It's an action film so~~,"

Sandara sighed. "Why did you suddenly become so talkative, you aren't like that before..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Dara's eyes widen and added in a somehow panicky voice, "Why? What did I say?"

"Err~~ you said something about being talkative and.. what was it... again? Arrgghhh.. I forgot! Anyway, what do you mean by that?"

"I-i I don't mean anything... Just leave me alone..."

"Are you afraid of flying?"

Dara hesitated before answering, "Well, not that much but  I feel really nervous. I can manage to be on a plane but I always feel like it's going to have a crashinglanding..."

"Ow.. then try to think of something else. Get your mind to think of something else. Like this, watching a movie.. or maybe reading a book... anything that would make your mind work and push away those thoughts of plane crash incidents... neh?"

"I'm not sure..."

"How about listening to music... go get your ipod and or pmp and listen to music, maybe a rock one so it would drown the little sound you hear from the train..." There wasn't really that much noise considering that the plane they are in now is VIP one. Maybe, Dara is just being paranoid? 

"I don't have my music player with me. My brother borrowed it from me..."

"Is that so? Ahhh... that's a big problem..." then he suddenly remembered that he brought his other music player with him. "Oh, wait a second..." He went back to where his orinal seat, where CL and Young Bae are contently watching the cartoon er~ anime.

"What brought you back dude?" Young Bae asked.

"I just have to get something..." His music player was sitting innocently at the top of the table beside a cup of coffee and a plate of almond rocca cheesecake. He eyed the coffee and the dessert for a bit and decided to put the music player inside his pocket and brought the coffee and the cake with him. "Here you go..."

"What's that?" Dara asked.

"Coffee and cheesecake... Do you want some?"

"I want to sleep, and drinking coffee wouldn't be a good idea at all, if that is the case..."

"Have the cake then..."

She stared at the cheesecake for a few seconds and put her gaze back at him. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yeah.. you can have it... what drink do you want, let's ask the flight attendant..."

"No.. this is fine... Thank you..." she scooped a small amount of cheesecake and put in her mouth, enjoying the delicious taste of the dessert.

Dara caught Jiyong staring at her. Thinking that he wants to have a piece of cake as well, "Hey, we can just share..."

Jiyong coughed a bit, "N-no... it's okay. I've already had my fill before we arrived at the airport. Oh.. here ..." he slipped his hand inside his pocket and handed teh music player to her.

"What's this?"

"A music player..."

"Yeah, right. Why didn't I notice that?" she said sarcastically.

He laughed at her retort and gave in, "Well, I'll lend you it for the duration of our flight."

"Hhhhhmmm..."

"But, it doesn't have much songs in it..."

"It's fine..."

She started browsing through the music files he has in the gadget. She wasn't familiar to most of the songs in there. It doesn't even have the singers... Just files names. She decided to just finish the cake first before starting to listen to the songs. She stole a glance at the guy sitting next to her, seeing how he's so into watching the movie he's recommending to her a moment ago, she pressed the play button and started listening to the first song.

My Heaven... I read the title and the note on the description.

For future album... Possible title track. Japanese Album. My Heaven...

She listened to the song and felt her heart flutter at the words. Even the opening of the song will make any girl's heart stop from beating for a second or two. "Love you girl only you are my heaven" Is this an original composition?, she asked herself. Hearing just his recording a piano instrumental, then it must be.

Dara's POV

It's the truth if I say that you are my eternal lover, I can't ever let go what we had in the past.

Is this their new song? did he compose it? I continued to listen to the song, lost in the poetic words flowing from his lips. He's like talking to someone, like he's longing for someone... "Only you are missing..." he says. "Please don't vanish... don't vanish..." he pleaded.

Hey, hey, listen to me

Finally the message came
There’s only “I’m sorry”, I really don’t understand at all
Just one more time, come to my side, smiling like those times

I want to see you, I want to see you

I couldn't listen to the song anymore. I yanked the earphone away from me which caught his attention.

"Why?" I want to ask myself "why" too... Why am I affected? Why is it that after hearing the song... I felt like he's singing it to me? Aiiissshhh... It isn't me for sure. I snorted at the thought. How could it be me? It's impossible. I felt a tear escape from eye. "Hey... what's wrong?"

"Nothing... I don't like to listen anymore, can we just share?" I asked pointing at the PMP. It'd be better to just watch a movie, than listen to those kind of words... I worked so hard to be able to face him straight and not breakdown in front him. And now, just hearing those lyrics, and his voice singing it, somehow rekindled the betrayal I felt before... No... I don't want to repeat what had happened before. "Is it okay?" I asked.

"Sure!!" He beamed at me before giving me the other ear piece.

Yes, this movie is really better than that song....
