The Kpop Otaku's Dream 121 Making Music

She pushes her way pa.s.s me visibly excited, carrying an envelope in her hand.

"d.a.m.n! it's so cold outside!" She says in her sultry voice adding a few other curses words which are NSFW.

I'm kind of slightly thrown at how quick she's made herself comfortable. I really have only met her once before. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that LEE HYORI is in my home.

"So noona, what's the occasion?" I ask as I close the door and make my way inside.

"Aren't you going to offer your guest a drink?" She questions my manners.

"U-Uhm oh pardon me... would you like coffee , tea, water or soda?" I offer her kindly.

"No thanks, I'm here to speak business" She laughs.

'Seriously? She's definitely messing with me'

Rolling my eyes, I decide to not get annoyed and just take a seat across from her and listen to why she's here today.

"Dylan, read this" She says as she hands me a envelope.

Taking it from her, I read the first line and am really tongue-tied. I was expecting her to hand me some legal doc.u.ments not this.

"Noona... this is?" I ask slightly confused.

"What does it look like?" She says back.

"A ... CD?" I say half asking, half confirming.

"What else, could it be?" Hyori laughs.

"What's on it?"

"A demo"

"A demo....hmmm of the song I sent you?" I asked.

She nods her head.

"Kim Eana unnie and Park Geun-tae hyung fell in love with your song" She says excitedly!

'Well they should be, it's technically their song albeit from six years in the future'

Putting the CD into the disk player, the instrumental plays. It's tune of can only be described as an R&B song with jazz and neo soul sounds.

"Want to try singing to it together?" She asks.

I nod and play the song once more.

As the base kicks off, I take a deep breath readying myself. The atmosphere in the room immediately changes as I find myself getting immersed into the music. It reminds you of a sweet date in a coffee shop.

" You are beautiful .... just as you were ...yesterday" I talk-sing with a raspy undertone type manner. Conveying the flirty emotions of a couple still falling in-love.

"No! you're even more beautiful than I can recall

But when I say... something like this... you always

change subjects .....pretending you didn't hear"

Hyori responds in a lighter tone, one of a young girl almost, her voice clear and soothing "

I had really .... sweet dreams yesterday

I don't wanna tell you

Because I'm too shy, and also it's because

I'm not very good at this kind of thing"

Locking eyes, we harmonise into the chorus, "

Dream! That I can never have again...

That was really sweet...

I think you are just like that.

Dream! That I remember

About all day, that was really sweet

That's you..."

As the instrumental just continues to play, we close our eyes enjoying its soothing sound and even long after, our performance. We sit quite content at how it came together, enjoying the emotion its brought out.

"WOW!" Says an female voice coming from behind us.

Irene has changed into a white fleeced jersey and dark blue jeans, tying her hair into a high pony tail which shows off her angular face and pretty eyes. She's really stunning, albeit still lacking in the mature charm that Hyori has.

"Dypa! That was great!" She starts clapping enthusiastically.

What's with her exaggerated enthusiasm? I crinkle my eyebrows unaccustomed to Irene's current disposition.

'where did my Ice princess go?'

Turning to Hyori, I introduce the shorty to her " Noona, this is Joohyun. My wife. Joohyun come and greet Hyori-noona"

"YOU'RE MARRIED!?" Hyori asks shockingly " Aren't you only 21!"

Irene makes her way over and slaps me hard at the back of my head, "No unnie, we aren't.. His just being the idiot he usually is" She says in a soft voice

Poutingly I respond in a mousey tone "You are going to marry me anyway, what's wrong with saying it already"

Irene glares at me forcing me to 'zip' it immediately, "Annyeonghaseyo, Unnie. I'm Bae Joohyun" She greets with a 90 degree bow.

Hyori greets back with a smile, "Annyeonghaseyo Joohyunssi, I'm Lee Hyori"

Joohyun immediately freaks out like a fan girl, hopping up and down.

Seriously, where did my little Ice princess go??
