JOURNAL OF A POPSTAR

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I first had to hand over the registration documents to Hyun-woo before heading to the physics lab, I was scared and devastated, hoping that Mr chain had forgotten all about the project arrangement but It was all In vain.

Once I entered the class, the teacher was there and people where already getting started on something; today was full project day.

" Nice for you to join us miss Min-jin."Mr chain casually replied, he put his hands around his waist and gave me a look that screamed the question of why I was late for his class .

" Sir umm, as the assistant student body president, I had to hand over some files to the principal and help In running some errands." I explained with my head down in shame, Mr chain gave an understanding nod and instructed me to my seat.

"So now since miss Min-jin had decided to come late to my class, her and her partner would show us a little presentation so we would know how to get started."

My heart dropped to my stomach, me and my partner, me and Jimin.

Like as if reading my mind, Jimin shifted away from me, it was supposed to make me feel relieve but I felt really bad.

"Sorry Mr chain, but since am still a new student in Seoul high, can I switch my partner with someone I know like Faye, I had made friends with her and it would do me good in understanding the project." Jimin explained to the physics teacher with matter of factly and mr chain agreed.

So now I was partners with Ian; The school most notorious, bad boy, a rebel infact, this was Kim second version.

he was part of the cool kids, that had a free spirit of not caring any less about work, assignment school or anything and now I had to be forced to work with him.

As I stepped out, I brought out my textbook and began my presentation, Ian just stood quiet by the side, letting me do all the work.

" So like, like poles repel and unlike poles attract, when I place a magnetic material such as this U shape magnet am holding along it's fellow magnetic properties like the N pole, I would just strip this wire to the surface......." I went on with my presentation and I thought I felt Ian scrunt his eyes in interest, it brought me an uneasy alarming feeling, like he was checking me out.

when I told him to help me hand over a wire to conclude my experiment, his body stood so close like he was trying to attack me.

In other to not attract attention, I didn't push him and continued my presentation, I could swear I saw Jimin fist curve in anger at his side.

" Thank you Miss Min-jin." Mr chain addressed, and I finally pushed Ian out of my side, we went straight to our seat and the whole class clapped.

Today was a very long and excruciating day, with me running up and down with duties, I thought taking a break from being cheayoung would help me improve in my academics but even school work was draining me down, I needed to let out my voice, and sing away my pain.

I needed to hear my fans as I let out my emotions with tears in my eyes, I really needed that, but it had to wait until I get my admission to my desired university.

The school bell to end all classes wrang and all the students set off to go to their respective homes, I was left stranded to think how I would make it home without having Yeon-seo to chat and keep me company.

I sighed already at the school gate.

Maybe today won't be that bad, I can go home by myself am not a child.

However It might feel a little lonely.

I thought about asking my brother to follow him but then again he might

already be half way home with his crowd of friends by now." I sighed and then little drops of water touched my skin, I looked up to see a grey sky.

"Just great." I exclaimed, kicking a stone to express my anger and the droplets increased to a heavy shower, I was drained and did not bring my umbrella.

I wasn't given a choice and continued my journey soaked in rain, hearing the dripping on the street pavement, I began to sing a song in despair

(Soft, emotive vocals)

날 떠나가도 돼, 나의 모든 것

You can leave, all of me

가슴 속에 비가 내린다

Rain falls in my heart

너 없는 이 밤은 길기만 해

This night without you feels endless

이 비가 그칠 때, 내 소리 들릴까?

When this rain stops, will you hear my voice?

가슴 속 비는, 나의 슬픔이 되어

The rain in my heart becomes my sorrow

날 울리는 소리, 너를 부른다

The sound that makes me cry, calling out to you

추억은 그림자, 뒤를 따라와

Memories are shadows, following behind

너가 남긴 빈자리, 채워지지 않아

The empty space you left, can't be filled

이 밤이 새벽이 되면, 뭐가 남니?

When this night turns to dawn, what remains?

이 비가 그칠 때, 내 소리 들릴까?

When this rain stops, will you hear my voice?

가슴 속 비는, 나의 슬픔이 되어

The rain in my heart becomes my sorrow

날 울리는 소리, 너를 부른다

The sound that makes me cry, calling out to you

(Vocal runs on "너를 부른다"... fading into the distance).

I sighed a little and tears dripped down my eyes, I couldn't hold it anymore, I was all alone, I let it all out, no one I knew was on the street, I just sobbed as I walked to my destination and then a shadow stood behind me .

I couldn't feel the cold rain on my body again, I was confused and stunned, when looking up, I saw a tall figure holding an umbrella.

" It was Jimin!!!!"
