Hi! This is my third post for the day...I'm sooooooo random, didn't I? haha~
I was on the verge of breaking my neck to start chapter 2 when I found this one-shot inside my pen drive...(haven't open it for a long time...lucky I don't lost it!) It really brings out memories, I wrote this one just after I finish college...and it describe my journey back home..going back by bus...have to walk after the gate due to the "disappearing of buses" in order to get to the bus station and all...what with the song Insa kept repeating in my head all along the way...I can be a bit sentimental you know..haha!
The story is pure fiction and I just blend in my journey here and there to add up to the story...also I'm totally hook on the song Insa by TVXQ at the time I wrote the story so it's best to listen to it while you reading it...just look for the song in my playlist on the bottom of the page....^^ There are two version...one by TVXQ and the other is a solo version by Hero Jaejoong, one of the member of TVXQ...I sincerely like TVXQ's version more..their harmony is just...indescribable..haha!
For those who love K-movies might notice that the song Insa is actually the OST for the movie A Millionaire's First Love...a sad love story, mind you...haha!
This one-shot has no title at first so I just going to call it...
UNTITLED
Hi! How are you doing today? The weather’s nice today, right? The sky is so blue, and the cloud is so white. The sun is so hot though. I had a hard time walking under the heat. No need to mention my red face, I already got the oh-my-god-her-face-is-so-red kind of stare from everybody before I arrived here. And that’s not funny at all, in case you’re thinking of laughing right now. I know you won’t though, because you’re just a nice person! Oh, before I forgot, here, for you! Iris, hope you like it! Do you know the meaning of Iris? It’s the happiness of the believer. Cool, right? I know this from the anime, Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna. It’s really awesome! Highly recommended! Ok, I know you’re not that into anime so I better stop here. But it’s really good! I even buy the original DVD! You know how I am when it comes to money yet I’m still willing to buy it. And that just shows how good the story is! Ok, I really have to stop now. Or else you’ll go crazy, right?
In case you’ve forgotten, today’s the last day of exam. And that means a complete freedom! Also, being the last day it is, it’s the last day of school too. Everybody’s got their parents come to pick them up, excluding me. I’m going back by bus. That explains the bags I have here! To tell the truth, this is not much actually; my roommates are having tougher times than me! So I can be considering as lucky. I don’t really mind though. Because I can see you first before I leave! I’m a nice person, right? No need to answer, I know I am! Just kidding~ By the way, my bus is due on 5PM so I need to go earlier than that. It’s just 2PM now, but just in case I forget the time, do remind me, ok!
The exam is so hard! I could feel my head spinning around again and again in the hall. But I’ve tried my best though. No matter how the result will be, I just going to accept it with all my might! Don’t believe me? I don’t believe myself either. But the part where you teach me before, I could answer them well! Really, it’s all thanks to you! I bet if you answer them you’ll definitely get high scores! You’re much smarter than me anyway. Don’t deny it; you know it’s the truth!
Seriously, to think that it’s already the last day, time does moves on so fast right? I feel like I just knew everyone yesterday. And now all of us are moving on different ways. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? But we’re friends, right? Don’t you dare forget me! Or else…hey, take it easy! I’m just kidding! But I won’t forget you. No need to worry, ok! You’re the very best friend I ever had! Do you hate it, when I keep on saying ‘friend’?
To tell the truth, I’m actually afraid to come today, but thinking it’s already the last day, I brave myself! No, not because of you, it’s just that I’m afraid your family will be here too. You see, I’m not the type that can easily talk like this to any people. So, I’m afraid if they are here, too, I won’t be able to talk to you, as freely as now. So I’m quite glad, to be exact. Do you mind? It’ll be great to meet them, but I don’t think I have that courage. You know what I mean, right? You understand, right? Thanks!
I…I really am grateful that I know you. You are my inspiration, and you never fail to amuse me with your practical way of thinking. Seriously, I think it’s funny that we can be close friends yet never really agree with each other! Weird, isn’t it? Yet that really draws us closer. And am I weird if I say I’m actually always looking forward to not agree with you? I think that’s weird. I am a weird person! No, you’re not weird. It’s just me. Me, myself, anime, and I. What does anime have to do here?! I am weird, right? Just bear with it, ok? Good luck.
Lately I’ve been thinking, how I know you’ll go mad if I say this. But still, I want to say it. I don’t want to care of the consequences, now that I’m already here with you. I want to say…sorry. I know you’ll go on saying that it’s not your fault or whatever but still, sorry. Sorry, if I ever hurt you somehow along the way. Sorry, if I ever said something that makes you hurt. Sorry, for not trying to understand you at times. Sorry, for not being able to do anything for you. Sorry, for everything I’ve ever said and done. And sorry, for this, might be our last meeting. I’m going back home today. It’s far, for you and I are separated miles apart. We…might not be able to see each other anymore. I, hate to say this, I really do! Don’t worry; I’m not going to cry. Not in front of you of course! It’s embarrassing. It’s already embarrassing enough to say things like this! It’s so not cool. But I have to. So I’m bearing with it. Try to bear with it too, ok!
Oh no, it’s getting late already. I should have come sooner, right? I try too, but there’s lack of bus today from school to here, even though it’s weekend today. Now that’s one thing weird, right? Seriously, how come there’s lack of bus? And no, I’m not lying if that’s what you’re thinking right now, ok! And here we go again. We never really could stop, for God’s sake. Even at times like now. We really not going to stop, right?
I’m taking my bags now. I…really am going to go now. I am going to move forward. I’m going to move on. Even without you with me, I’ll move on. Regardless of whatever happens, I still going to move on. No, I’m not going to turn back to you, because if I did, I may not be able to leave. I…I’ll work hard. In order to see your smile again, I’ll do everything I could. No matter what it takes, I’ll give it my all. So, please, please hold on. Please work hard too. Until you wake up again from your comatose state, until you recover fully, I will always work hard. If you suddenly go in your sleep, I will never forgive you. Never! So please, hold on. This is my last greeting to you.
And she says it.
I love you.
*****************
She take a small step, with her bags on the shoulders, she opens the door, heads low, moves out, and closes it. She never turns back. For if she did, she might as well see his mother standing, watching her go, eyes brimming with tears.
Out of the hospital, she puts on her mp3, the highest volume. Upon the sound of DBSK’s song Insa played, she can’t hold on anymore. Tears down her rosy cheek, and the song played, over and over again.
Fly away, fly away love, fly away, fly away love…
It's weird for me to write a love story...so just bear with it..(this is my first time writing one!) and I'm not good in this kind of thing anyway...haha!
Insa (Greeting) lyric by TVXQ (somehow got the urge to post it together...haha!)
[Junsu]
Barami momun gu shigan jocha
Naegen nomu mojarangol
Hanbone miso majimak insa
Saranghamnida gudel
[Changmin]
Shigane jichodo sarang-e apado
Gu shigan jocha chuogigo
Majimak insal haneyo
Saranghamnida saranghamnida
[All]
Fly away Fly away LOVE
Fly away Fly away LOVE
Fly away Fly away LOVE
[Junsu]
Neseng-e dan hanbone sarang-a ahnyong
P/s: I really dunno if I'm accurate in the who sings what part. HAHA (Says the one posting the lyric but I'm quite 100% sure -quite??- that it's correct..especially on Junsu's part..haha~)
TRANSLATION
Even that time when the wind stays
Its not enough for me.
I smile one more time and give my final greeting:
I love you.
I am tired now and love hurts
But even if that time is just a memory
I have to give my final greeting.
I love you, I love you.
Fly away Fly away LOVE
Fly away Fly away LOVE
Fly away Fly away LOVE
In the afterlife I will greet my love again

Lawsuit-TVXQ-SM
Hi! Hope you guys in the pink of health! ^^
For those who've been following the k-pop industry must have heard of this issue already...also this is an old article explaining about this but as one of the (perhaps billions..?) fans of this awesome group, I have the urge to post it..pardon me..haha~
[Lawsuite] 090803 Junsu-Jaejoong-Yoochun, Official Statement Released, "We're so tired emotionally and physically"
TVXQ from left: Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu), Micky Yoochun (Park Yoochun), YoungWoong Jaejoong (Kim Jaejoong), ChoiKang Changmin (Shim Changmin) and U-Know Yunho (Jung Yunho)
TVXQ's Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu), YoungWoong Jaejoong (Kim Jaejoong), and Micky Yoochun (Park Yoochun), who filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request against SM Entertainment on July 31st, have finally released their official statement.
The three revealed today that, "For the past five years, the agency has been controlling everything and because of everything we have gone through, we are so worn out mentally and physically."
#1. For the past five years, the agency has been controlling everything and because of everything we have gone through, we are so worn out mentally and physically.
Kim Junsu, Kim Jaejoon, and Park Yoochun debuted in group TVXQ in the early months of 2004 and have been, with the order of SM, traveling back and forth from Korea, Japan and China. They have been completing their schedules by sleeping only 3~4 hours every night every single day except for one week of the year. Because of this, the three members' health has been affected greatly and the amount of stress and mental weariness they received was huge. However, the more SM got TVXQ involved in foreign activities, the more tiring and almost impossible the activities became. The three members finally began to feel like they were no longer SM artistes who were striving to reach their dreams, but mere tools for the agency to get money.But the three still wish to continue with their activities as a singer according to their own visions.
#2 The exclusive contract that was set for 13 years is in fact a 'slave contract'
When they talk of the exclusive contract, they refer to their contract that lasts 13 years. However, when they add the years they will serve in the military, the period will extend to at least 15 years which would mean that they would have to be celebrities under SM's rule for at least ten more years before they could even consider retiring. If they were to cancel their contract before the 13 years were over, they would have to pay a fine that was thrice the amount of all the investments made and twice the amount of how much they earned. As this amount would add up to tens of millions of dollars if they were to cancel their contract, they had no other choice but to stay at SM under the same conditions they are suffering because of right now.
#3 The members did not receive as much as they should have for their hard work
Just because they were tied to such a contract, doesn't mean they received fair treatment from SM for their hard work. They received no money for the contract, and when the division of income is seen for their albums, their contract states that each member can receive 1000,000 won only if they sell more than 500,000 copies of their album. If they do not reach 500,000 copies, they do not receive a single won from the income earned from the album This clause was altered on 2009.2.6 but even after the alteration, the members only receive around 0.4~1% each from the album sales.
#4 The members have tried numerous times to fix the contract, but SM did not listen to their pleas.
Therefore, the three members repeatedly asked for a suspension of their exclusive contract so they could follow their own visions of being a singer, but SM tried to move the spotlight towards the three's cosmetic company, which has nothing to do with this trial. So the three people believed that the least they could do was have the two sides talk and reach a compromise that both sides would agree on and even offered to find a proper place to do so, but not only did SM ignore this, their past and current attitude made it almost impossible for there to be any talks with SM. There was no hope for any talks to happen with the agency and that is why the three members decided to file this lawsuit.
#5 The investment in the cosmetic company was something they did outside of their activities as a celebrity, it has nothing to do with this lawsuit. The focus point is the unlawfulness of the exclusive contract.
SM revealed in their official statement that the three members were filing this lawsuit because of problems that arose because of the cosmetic company. However, the members' investment in the cosmetic company has nothing to do with this lawsuit. The company SM is referring to is the Chinese branch of the company that the three members invested in, and this was purely a personal investment that had nothing to do with their activities as celebrities. No one can say that TVXQ should lose everything they have worked so hard for until now just because of an investment of $1 million in a cosmetic company that is opening in China; that is ridiculous to even consider. The core of what the members see as a problem is the unlawfulness of the exclusive contract. SM must stop trying to move the spotlight to the cosmetic company that has nothing to do with the case.
#6 None of the members want to disband, all they want is to escape from the tirades of their contract.
They realized that many fans feared that a disbandment would arise from this lawsuit. However, this lawsuit should never be linked to the possible disbandment of the group. Only the three members are involved in this process because of a difference in opinion of a method of approach between the members, but there are no strains whatsoever between the members and they all wish to keep their promise to their fans and stay together. If they had even a small chance to fix the unlawful clauses in their contract and pursue their music careers in the way they wanted, they were willing to go through with this process with only the firm belief that all five of them would be able to stand on one stage together in front of their fans even after this ordeal.
#7 They take this as a step to become more mature
The three members are extremely sorry for frightening the fans who care so much about TVXQ with this lawsuit, but they believe this is a step towards a bigger dream. They promise that they will be able to come out of this situation as better people and a better group if they receive support from their fans.

To be frank, (mind you after this are ALL MY PERSONAL OPINION) there are soooooo many articles coming out regarding this matter, what with them disbanding, the other two got personal opinions for not joining in the lawsuit and all...I sincerely think that as a fan, it's best to NOT make any speculations at all and just wait and see what's going to come...to much exposure on the matter will make it go worse, isn't it? As for me, I always read those articles (can't help it, I'm a fan anyway) but NEVER believe any of it...the one I know is the truth for now is the one I post above...no more nor less...I mean, come on, we are all know their bond is strong, so why worry to death? I'll be lying if I say I'm not worried at all...but still, supporting them is the best we can do for now, as a fan, and pray for them, hope that everything will be okay. They have always do their best for us, it's time to repay back the favor. After all, proud of your love? Making a big fuss over it and speculates more will kill the trust, and it'll hurt, both them and us. Literally.
So then, simply, just wait and see. Atashi wa shinjiru, TVXQ, kimi no koto. If justice are really gone from this world, they'll lose the case. Full stop.
Still, you agree with me? Or do you not?
