Maybe It's You I Need -Chapter 16
When they got home, both were very especially Gain who records for almost 8 hours but she’s still happy because Jo Kwon was there to cheer her up. Her smile never fades away that day. Exhausted, Gain sat on the couch as soon as they arrived their apartment.
“Yeobo, go to your room now and get some rest. You did a great job recording.” Kwon as said as he put down her bags on the couch
“”I’m too tired to stand up.”
“Come.” He said as he walks towards her and lifts her like his bride. Gain who couldn’t help but smile while clinging her arms on his neck. He opens her bedroom door and place her on her bed carefully.
“Goodnight Yeobo.” He said and gave her a goodnight kiss. But Gain stops him as son as he was about to walk out in her room.
“Can you stay with until I fall asleep?”
“I can do that.” He said and lie down beside her. She cuddled beside Kwon.
“Kwon-ah, you were really good at singing. How come you didn’t tell me that you can sing?” she said; eyes closed
“You didn’t ask anything.”
“I liked it. Can you sing it again for me?”
He looked at her first then he started singing. After singing a few lines, he noticed that she became quiet. He looks at her and saw her in deep sleep. He wants to get up but she’s still hugging him and if he moves he might wake her up. A few minutes later, he too feel asleep while hugging her.
The next day Gain woke up touching the other side of the bed. To her surprise, Kwon was not there beside her. When she checks the time on her clock, it’s almost noon. She overslept due to exhaustion. She then saw a note beside her alarm clock. She’s smiling while reading the note
“Maybe I’m already at my office as soon as you read this. I didn’t wake you up because I know that you’re really tired. Yesterday, Jea noona said that you’ll have rehearsals later in the afternoon. Eat so that you can have energy to practice okay? Too bad I won’t be able to see you at home later. I’ll miss you. Saranghae. Yeobo Fighitng.
PS call me when you wake up”She felt sad too when he mentioned that they won’t be seeing each other for the whole day. She reaches for her phone that is placed in the side table and dialed Kwon’s number.
“Hello?” the person said on the other line
“Yeobo…” she said with aegyo
“Oh... yeobo? Have you eaten your lunch yet? You have schedule this afternoon. Are you preparing already?”
“Not yet. Are you still busy?”
“Kinda. Tiffany and I need to finish this design so we can present this to our client.”
“Do you have to be with her?” she asked with a sad tone
“She’s my partner in this project. Of course we have to do this together.”
“Be careful okay? She might do something weird again?”
“(chuckles) Do I smell jealousy here?”
“I’m not jealous. Who says that I’m jealous?”
“You know you are (laughs) Anyway Yeobo, I have to go now. We have a meeting with our boss. Eat your lunch and take care. Love you. Bye”
She hung up the phone and prepares herself to her schedule.
Things between them works out just fine but they haven’t spend much time together because of their work. They just keep calling and sending messages to each other, telling how much they miss each other. They have been that way for 3 weeks.
Brown Eyed Girls have always a fully packed schedule since they release their new album. Kwon wanted to be with her to support her and her unnies that time but he can’t, the deadline for his project is getting nearer and they have to finish it soon. BEG are everywhere since their comeback. They are either guests on TV programs or performing on stage.
At a fan signing in a mall, a lot of fans lined up holding BEG’s latest album and waiting for their turn to get their CD signed. They kicked it off with a few songs before they started the fan signing. After 1 and half hour of signing CDs, the group thanked all of their fans who came on that event. When the event ended, they were about to walk to their nanny van when Gain saw a familiar face who is like doing a window shopping. He went close to him to make sure that he’s the person she thought he was.
“Doojoon-ah?”
“Noona? What are you doing here?” he said after turning around and saw a petite lady
“We just finished an event. What are you doing here?”
“Just looking around to find some present.”
“Present? For your girlfriend?”
“No no. It’s for Jo Kwon. It’s his birthday tomorrow. I always give him present when it’s his birthday. Even though he already told me several times that I didn’t need to bother giving him a present but still I want to give him something. He didn’t ask any gift from you?”
“He didn’t. Actually, I didn’t know that it’s his birthday tomorrow. Thank you Doojoon-ah. I have to go now. Bye.” She left him feeling disappointed. Not knowing when his boyfriend’s birthday makes her feel sad. She rode their nanny van and stayed quiet for the whole time thinking what present should she give him on his birthday.
It’s almost 11pm when she arrived at their apartment. She knocked on kwon’s bedroom door. Hearing no response, she slowly opened the door and saw him sleeping soundly. She noticed that he didn’t have the time to change clothes. She sat beside him and caresses his face for how she miss spending time with him.
“You must have been having a hard time with your work. I didn’t know that your birthday is tomorrow. I wish I should have known earlier so that I can prepare something for you that you will really like. (sighs)” she said in low tone. She kissed him on his forehead and went back to her room. She reaches her phone and dialed her manager’s number.
“Gain-ah? It’s late why aren’t you sleeping?” the other person on the line said,
“Unnie, I just want to ask my schedule for tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow? Let’s see…” her manager paused for a while to look at their schedule. “You’ll only be recording Star King with the other members. Narsha will have her radio program in the afternoon. That’s all for your schedule tomorrow.”
“That’s all unnie? Thanks! I’ll go to sleep now. Bye.” She suddenly becomes excited. She thought that after her recording she will be able to spend time with Kwon.
Kwon woke up around 7am, as usual Gain left early for her schedule. He saw the calendar that is hanged in his room. An encircled date, August 28, marks that he’s already 23 years old. He looks at his phone and read his new messages greeting him on his birthday. Some are his close officemates especially Doojoon and Tiffany. And he received greetings from his parents. Even though a lot of people greeted him, he feels sad because someone special to him hasn’t greeted him yet.
“Maybe she’s too busy to know my birthday” he thought to himself and prepares himself for work.
As soon as he arrives his office, he was greeted by his officemates and starts his busy day. 4 hours later, Doojoon into his office.
“Yah! Can you just knock first before doing that?” Kwon said; feeling annoyed
“Sorry! Happy Birthday and…… here’s your present.” he said as he give his gift to Kwon
“I told you not to bother buying me presents.”
“I’ve used my money not yours so just accept it okay?”
“(laughs) Thanks! I’ll open it up later.”
“So how’s life having an ‘idol’ girlfriend? You’re all over the news man. And I saw a lot of videos of you two together. You have to tell me everything.”
“It’s complicated. We haven’t seen other and we barely talk face to face for the past few days. Some of her fans approved about our relationship saying that we’re a cute couple and I'm much better than Seungri. But still, there’s more haters telling me that she’s better off with Seungri.”
“That sucks! Don’t mind them. They don’t nothing about what happened.” He said; Kwon told him what Seungri did to Gain a few days back
Just Kwon was about to say something to Doojoon, his phone rang and Gain’s name appeared in his caller id. Kwon couldn’t help to smile when he saw her name on his caller id.
“Yeobo?”
“That’s the signal for me to go. I don’t want to hear you guys saying lovey-dovey words.” Doojoon said and left his office
“Yeobo, you haven’t finished your recording?”
“We’re just taking a break and we’ll be recording again soon. Are you still busy?”
“I’m almost done with the report, why?”
“I don’t have any schedule this afternoon so I’ll be home early today. I’ll cook dinner for you so you have to go home early okay?”
“Really? Wow that’s great.”he said; surprised
“I’ll b expecting you to come home early.”
“(chuckles) I’ll finish this as soon as possible so that I can come home early.. Uhm yeobo, do you what day is today?” he asked curiously
“Today? Hmm… is there anything special occasion today?” she said smiling; playing dumb s if she didn’t know anything
“Nothing. Anyway, I hope you can cook a special meal later. Can’t wait.”
“Yeobo, we have to resume the recording. I’ll see you later okay? Bye.” she said in a hurry
Disappointed, Kwon hung up his phone. Feeling heavy hearted, he laid his back on his chair and closes his eyes. Then he continues his work
It was about 5pm when he left his office. Nothing exciting happen on his special day. His girlfriend didn’t know his birthday is the saddest part. He drove his car and went straight home. After a few minutes of driving, he reached his apartment. when he was about to open the door with his keys, he realized that he left his key on his car leaving him no choice to call Gain to check if she is already home.
“Noona, where are you?”
“I just finished cooking dinner. Are you on your way home now?”
“Actually I’m already here outside the apartment, I forgot my keys in my car. Can you open up?”
“What? You’re already here? Wait… give me 5 minutes.” she hurriedly hung up her phone
“What’s with her? She didn’t need to raise her voice.” He told to himself
More than 5 minutes past, she still hasn’t opened the door.
“Yeobo, open up!”he said then suddenly the door opened slowly.
“Happy Birthday to you…. Happy Birthday you…. “ she kept singing while holding a cake with lighted candles. He looked at her, sweating and exhausted as if trying to catch a breath.
Kwon was dumbfounded when he went inside the apartment. he’s smiling from ear-to-ear as she sang a birthday song.
“Yeobo make a wish.” She said. He then close his ye for a while then blew the candles.
“Yeobo, thank you! I’m really touched. But how did you know that it’s my birthday.” He asked her. And tell him it was because of Doojoon.
"Are you okay? You looked tired. And what did you do to sweat like that?"
His questions were answered when he saw that the living room is decorated with balloons and a self-made Happy Birthday sign. She even prepares several dishes like Crab stew, Samgyeopsal and Budae jjigae.
“Woah! You prepare all of these? Aren’t you tired from your schedule?” you can really tell that he’s amazed while looking around
“Yeah! After my schedule, I asked my manager if we could drop by to the mart to buy some stuff. And made this all for you--” She stopped talking when she felt Kwon gave her a back hug.
“Yeobo, Thank you. Really… Thank you..” he said then she turned around to face him and hugged him back
“I really miss this. It’s been really hard not seeing you for a long time. Can’t we just stay like this for a while?” when she said that Kwon’s hug becomes tighter as if she doesn’t want to let go of her.
After a few minutes, Gain pulled away and leads Kwonnie to the kitchen. Serves him the dishes and eat their dinner. Both were catching on what’s happening between when they are not together. ‘I Miss You’ are the words that didn’t left out in their conversation.
After dinner, they spend the rest of their time in Kwon’s room trying to find out "how much they miss each other."
