Chapter 33: Welcome Back!

Chapter 33: Welcome Back!

"Rhianne." Kahi unnie said and she hugged me. "Take care of your health please?"

We went to the hospital. The doctor said that I'm fine, it's just that I'm too tired that's why my breathing became so irregular.

That's one of the reason I guess why my parents don't want me to attend here. I have a weak body. But I'm doing my best to be healthy.

"Don't worry unnie. I'm fine. But I hope, everything will be just with us." I said.

Kahi unnie smiled and I went back to the dorms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After almost a month in Japan, finally GOT7 will arrive soon. I missed them so much. No noise can be heard here. They're the only one making noises.

I was preparing myself and I saw Mark's cap. I wonder who gave this to him. It seems like this cap is so important for him. That's why I took care of this cap. As promised, I wore it every day so I feel that he's with me.

"Unnie!" Jimin shouted.

"Yes?" I asked Jimin and I went out the room.

"I think Mark oppa is starting to introduce your relationship on public." Jimin said.

"What? What relationship? We're just dating." I said.

"Exactly. Look." Jimin showed me a fan post about GOT7's answer during their interview.

"Moving on, Mark, it was rumored that you had 'SOMEWHAT' a feeling for your co-star and new member of 15&, Rhianne. What can you say about it?" a reporter said.

"Rhianne and I are great friends. She is just a jolly person off-cam that's why we were able to be friends with her so easily. Well, what I wanted to mean is she is a likeable person. Not only I, but all of GOT7 members likes her." Mark said.

"But don't worry unnie, fans didn't recognize that easily. Only us who knows you a lot know that there is something behind this statement." Jimin said.

"But are there any comments?" I asked Jimin.

Jimin started to scroll down the page and looked at the comments sections. "I'll read it for you."

"Uhm, where to start?" Jimin said. "Ah this! *ahem**ahem* A fan said, 'I think there's nothing wrong if Mark will like Rhianne. We knew Rhianne before when she was still singing on the streets, she is very approachable and like what Mark said she is really a jolly person'"

"You sing in the streets before?" Jimin asked me.

"Ah, yeah. When I arrived here, I don't know what to do so I sang in streets so I can have money for transportation." I said.

"Oh cool!" Jimin said. "There's another one. 'I love Rhianne unnie! I can still remember the moment I saw her in the streets, she loved kids so much! I'm so happy she's going to debut!'"

There are lots of compliments from me. Even though I sang on the streets for only a week, I was able to create friends.

"Here's another one unnie." Jimin said. "Oooooh. Rhianne is going to debut!! I'm so proud of her. She's so kind. She helped me find my bracelet which was lost when I was watching her perform. Good luck Rhianne!'"

"Oh my gosh unnie. You're already famous before even though you're not yet an idol." Jimin said. "But unnie, there's a comment here. 'Rhianne and Mark? No way. They won't date. Rhianne is not Mark's type. lol.'"

I was ready for that.

"It's fine unnie, you still have a lot of fans." Jimin said.

"I know Jimin. Whatever you do, you'll be liked, and you'll be hated. So just be you." I said.

"You're right." Jimin said.

Our door suddenly opened.

"They're here!" Yerin said.

So GOT7 has arrived.

I suddenly heard clashing of bags on the walls and shouts from Jackson.

"Yah, finally! We're back. It's really tiring." he said.

I went out wearing Mark's cap and welcomed them!

"Welcome back everyone!" I said.

"Yah, oppa, where's my souvenir." Yerin told Jackson.

"Will you let me enter my room first?" Jackson said.

Yerin acted like a child.

"Joke!" Jackson immediately shouted. "Yugyeom, give her our souvenir."

Yugyeom immediately put down his bag and started to get the gift.

"Here's for Yerin!" Yugyeom said as he handed a paper bag. "Here's for Jimin!" and handed another paperbag.

"And here's for Rhianne." JB said.

"Oh, I have one?" I said.

"Of course. A special person will never be forgotten." JB said.

I don't know why but the moment JB told me that, I feel like I'm going to blush. I'm sorry Mark. -_-

I immediately took and looked at it.

It was a cute girl stuffed toy. It looks like Card Captor Sakura. Then there was another one, it's... it's... it's Kuroko No. 2!!!!! The small dog of Tetsuya (from Kuroko's Basketball).

I screamed and I didn't recognize that I was hugging JB already.

"Ow sorry." I said. "Yaaaah! I love this dog!"

"Yah, unnie. I thought you hate dogs?" Yerin said.

"Not this one." I said while hugging Kuroko No. 2. "Kuroko No. 2 is exempted with it."

"Kuroko No. 2?" Jinyoung asked.

"Yeah. His name in the anime is Kuroko No. 2 because he looks like Tetsuya Kuroko." I said.

"Rhianne's really a fan of anime." Jackson said.

"Thank you!" I told Jackson.

"Thank JB for that. He was the one who chose that." Jackson said.

"Oh really?" I said. "Well, thank you JB!"

JB just smiled. Ooh, I almost forgot about Mark.

I looked at Mark and he smiled faintly. GOT7 started to enter the dorm. I whispered something to Mark, "Are you tired?"

He smiled at me, "Do you want to talk?"

I nodded.

"Okay, I'll just put my things." he said. Then he covered my face by his cap I'm wearing. Minutes later, Mark went out and we went to the backstage.

At the backstage...

"Is everything alright?" I asked.

It seemed that Mark is so sad today.

"Are you tired? If you're tired, then let's just go back." I said.

"No, no. I'm fine. It's just that, I got jealous between you and JB earlier." he said.

"Yah. You should not be jealous." I said

"JB was always mentioning you during our tour in Japan. He seems to remember you so much." Mark said.

"Eh? It's just that maybe I'm worth remembering. Haha." I told him. "Uh, by the way, since you're here already, I'm giving this back to you."

I handed him the cap I'm wearing.

"It's fun wearing that. But I'm really not used to with wearing caps." I said.

Mark took it.

"And about that..." he said.

"About what?" I asked.

"About your bracelet." he said.

"Oh yeah, the bracelet? It's with you right?" I said.

Mark didn't answer for a long period. Then he had a deep breathe.

"I'm sorry I lost it."

The moment I heard that, I don't know what to react. I mean, that bracelet isn't really something that important for me but the fact that I treasured it for months, it hurts.

"Oh." that's the only thing I said.

I felt like my smile disappeared.

Rhianne, you should not let Mark know that you're upset.

I tapped Mark's back. "It's fine." I said.

"Isn't it important for you?" he asked.

"It's important of course because someone gave that to me but what can we do? I mean, it's lost already. I should not cry over things that are lost." I said.

"Are you sure you're fine with it?" he asked.

"Yeah. It's fine." I said. "Let's go back to the dorms and you rest first."

I smiled at him and he smiled back faintly.

While walking to the dorms, I can't help but to think for that bracelet.

"Are you sure you're fine with it?" Mark said.

I looked at Mark, "Yah, I already told you it's fine. Why? Do you want me to say that it's not fine?"

"Of course not." Mark said.

"Whenever I tell things, I mean it." I said.

He just smiled at me. We separated ways.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6mix day of debut

"Guys! Aren't we going to support 6mix for their debut today?" I asked Yerin and Jimin.

"Unnie, have you forgotten? We have recording today. We can't be with them." Yerin said.

Oh yeah, I forgot. -_-

I will not be able to meet my friends. They're going to debut now but I can't come to watch them. It's kinda sad. -_-

"Awww. Yeah. I forgot. -_-" I said.

"It seems that lately, you have been forgetting things unnie. Is something bothering you?" Jimin said.

"Bothering me? None. There's nothing." I said.

After that conversation, manager unnie came and we went to the recording studio.

At the recording studio, JB was there.

"JB oppa?" Jimin said.

"Annyeong!" JB said.

"Oh JB!" Manager unnie said. "So you're here already. By the way, JB will be a part of your album too. He'll be singing the duet with Rhianne."

"Oh? Really?" I said.

Honestly, I thought it was going to be Youngjae or Jinyoung. But it was JB.

"Yeah!" JB said. "Let's do our best."

"Of course!" we said.

We started recording.

We're going to sing a revived version of the English Christmas Songs. The album consists of 7 tracks. Here is the list of the songs:

1. All I Want for Christmas is You – the three of us

2. Last Christmas –Jimin

3. Santa Baby – Yerin

4. Christmas Must Be Something More – Rhianne

5. Holy Night – the three of us

6. The Gift – the three of us

Special Track:

Christmas Offering – Rhianne and JB

The group parts were already recorded. We'll just record the solo parts and the special track.

Jimin was the first one who went to the recording place.

"Okay, Jimin! We'll start." the staff said.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shied

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby

Do you recognize me

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying 'I love you', I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kiss me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room and friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A girl on a cover but you tore her apart

Maybe this year

Maybe this year I'll give it to someone special

Cause last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

And last Christmas

And this year

It won't be anything like, anything like

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Jimin was good with that song. It's really a cute one.

"Great job!" the staff said. Then Yerin entered the recording place.

Yerin started the song.

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me

I've been an awful good girl, santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight *coughs* *coughs*

"Cut!" the staff said. Yerin has colds now so it's difficult for her to sing.

"Yerin, let Rhianne sing first and rest for a bit." Manager unnie said.

So I went inside. "Drink a lot of water." I told Yerin.

She nodded.

The music started and I sang.

What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?

Would the song still survive without five golden rings?

Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe?

What would happen if God never let it snow?

What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie?

Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special

Something holy, not superficial

So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives

It's something we all try to ignore

And put a wreath up on your door

So here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to

All the things that we wished they would always do?

What if happiness came in a cardboard box?

Then I think there is something we all forgot

What would happen if presents all went away?

Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special

Something holy, not superficial

So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives

It's something we all try to ignore

And put a wreath up on your door

So here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it

Business and relationships

Hundred mile an hour lives

And it's this time of year

And everybody's here

It seems the last thing on your mind

Is that the day holds something special

Something holy, not superficial?

So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives

It's something we all try to ignore

And put a wreath up on your door

But here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something

Christmas must be something

Christmas must be something more

There's gotta be more

There's gotta be more

After I sang it, JB went inside so we'll record it. Suddenly, GOT7 entered.

I saw Mark looking furiously at JB.

"Okay, everyone! JB and Rhianne don't let them distract you. Let's start the recording."

JB smiled at me, then I smiled at him weakly.

Is there something with JB and Mark?

"Rhianne! Focus." the staff said.

"Are you alright?" JB asked.

"Ah, yeah." I said. I looked back at Mark. He wasn't looking.

The music started to play again.

Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star

While angels sang to lowly shepherds

Three wisemen seeking truth, they traveled from afar

Hoping to find the Child from Heaven falling on their knees

They bow before the humble Prince of peace

We bring an offering of worship to our King

No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing

Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due

O Lord, I bring an offering to You

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love

There is no shadow in Your presence

No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne

Before the Holy One of Heaven, it's only by Your blood

It's only through Your mercy, Lord I come

I bring an offering of worship to my King

No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing

Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due

O Lord, I bring an offering to You

I bring an offering of worship to my King

No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing

Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due

O Lord, I bring an offering to You

We bring an offering to You

We are an offering to You

An offering of praise we sing

An offering to You

We are an offering to You, Jesus

An offering of praise we sing

An offering to You

We are an offering, oh Lord

We are an offering of worship to our King

No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing

Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due

O Lord, we bring an offering to You

O Lord, we bring an offering

Offering to You

We bring an offering to You

We are an offering to You

After the recording, Yerin entered already. "Are you alright?" I asked her.

She nodded. Then she started recording.

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me

I've been an awful good girl, santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible, too, light blue

Well I'll wait up for you, dear, santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight, yeah

Think of all the fun I've missed

Think of all the boys I haven't kissed

Next year I could be just as good

If you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot

I've been an angel all year, santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa, honey, there's one more thing I really do need, the deed

To a platinum mine, santa honey

So hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree

With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

I really do believe in you

Let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing

A ring

And I don't mean on the phone, santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight

After the recording,

"Let's go to back immediately to congratulate 6mix!" Jinyoung said.

"Oh, yeah." I said then someone grabbed my hand.

It was Mark.

"Do you have something to say?" I asked.

"Not here. Let's go a little far." Mark said.

We went a little far from them.

"What's wrong?" I said.

"We're dating right?" he said.

"Yeah." I said. "Why? Is there something wrong?"

"Can I ask you a favor?" he said.

"What?" I asked him.

"Please avoid JB. For me." he said.
