XXXXIII - Practice Makes Perfect or Does It? - XXXXIII


I woke up extra early, showered and got ready for the day. I made food for everyone and left out the front door, I grabbed my wallet and my headphones. The song already in my head, I got a call from a movie company that is interested in my female voice. I've been practicing all morning, it's going to be tough but I promised I would give it a shot. First, stop the guitar center, then it was the caffe next I had to get ready.

I pulled up to the Guitar Center, I tried the ones I thought that would fit into this song. It's going to be a doozy but I promised the Songwriter I would give it my all, I already knew the show would be awesome. I was to meet with them tomorrow for lunch, I was a bit skeptical but Mr. Smith had already arranged this. I kinda owe him, he pushed me to my limits to see how far I would go with my capabilities especially during music class.

I picked 2 acoustic guitars, 1 bass, 1 electric. I paid to have them delivered right away. I called up Kevin Oppa, I told him I was expecting a delivery and to put them in the music studio near the balcony. Appa and Kevin had built it for me when I became more accustomed to their care.

I grabbed a Thai tea and drove to the Caffe, I smiled when I see the usual customers. I hugged Oppa and made my way into the back, the guitars already set up. I synced my phone to the laptop as the melody the only played, I smiled as soon as I added the right guitar sound. I played for maybe an hour, I took a break and went back in to grab food. This time everyone was here, I snuck behind the deli and grabbed my food. I went back to the the music room and sat behind the drum set there, I put the headphones on and tried various ways to see how it worked out. I didn't like it, I got up and stretched deciding on taking a break.

I left the room, only to walk into a group of boys looking suspicious as hell. "How may I help you nosy brats?" I had asked the 9 of them.

"We heard the drums playing and decided to check it out, we only wanted to see who was making that sick ass beats. We should've known it was you, what are you doing our dear little sister?" Yongha had asked me.

I let out a sigh, "I'm creating a song for a show, I was asked last night. They only sent me the melody and now I'm working on the drums since I already have the acoutsics and bass down. I'll play it once I feel it's ready, I have the lyrics already memorized." I tell them cheekily

I closed the door and stretched, i got back behind the drums and started it all over again. I smiled because I had found the correct sound to make the song sound beautiful. I stretched again and smiled, I took the USB out of my laptop. I was satisfied that I had the full song and I was damn proud. I ran out of the studio as I grabbed the guitar that helped me with this beautiful piece, I saw Mikey. "Call everyone, It's ready!"

I saw him run out and yell in the main dining area, I stood there with my back turned the guitar strap on me. I turned around once I heard everyone gather, "Only two handfuls of you know that I can play musical instruments, I was asked last night to help create a song based off the melody they had sent me. It's for a C-Drama, besides Mr. Smith helping me and my grandfather who owns the actual company the songwriters had sent me the lyrics. Would you like to hear it?" I had asked my brothers, I was smiling so proudly.

I saw everyone nod, I blew out the breath I was holding. I was nervous, I'm talking sweaty palms and all.

[[ I got carried away and I've been watching GO GO SQUID for like the 10th time already, and I think it suits Kai's girl voice well. Plus I kinda fell in love with both of the main characters. ]]

I played the guitar then I turned and press play on the laptop, I looked at them as the lyrics came pouring out of my mouth. I smiled a little embarrassed, I'm not usually like this I had no idea what the hell was wrong with me but I like it. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole song. Right, when I was going to the high note my phone goes off, and I lose my concentration. I let out an exasperated sigh, 'You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I place the guitar on its stand and grab my phone hitting speaker.


K: Yo This is Kai, Who is this?

Unkn. Caller: Kai? Are you at the Caffe? The actors from the show wish to meet you now, they flew to Seoul just to meet the singer of one of the most important songs for the show.

K: Mr. Smith?! Now?! I'm not even presentable! Just come here, I'll have my brothers keep them company.

Mr. Smith: Fine you got 45 minutes, I still need to pick them up from the airport and drive straight there.

K: You are so lucky grandfather asked me the favor and not you, FIne see you in 45 minutes.

I looked down at my wardrobe, "Oh for the love of God," I ran towards the music studio and grabbed my keys. "Guys please behave while I go and get clothes and get ready at home. I should be about 30 minutes tops. Remember I'm trusting you since Mikey, isn't here yet. Taeyang Oppa you're in charge." 

I run out and hop on my bike, peeling out and going to the magic mirror boutique. I grabbed a white dress shirt paired with a baggy grey sweater, black torn jeans, and timberlands. A black face mask I grabbed a red highlighter spray since my hair was back to being black.

I made it home in 10 and hopped into the shower from there, I had the doorman watch my bike since it was still running. I fixed my hair in a hurry, I still had 10 minutes and they should be there. I made it to the Caffe with 5 minutes to spare, I ran in and I wasn't breathing hard its when I noticed the room tilting. I started to fan myself, I could feel the tears start to fall as an anxiety attack started to surface.

I heard the music, but my body tensed up. A face of a girl I did not know, was in front of me. She soothed me until it passed, I bowed in thanks. Everyone was looking at me in worry, "Sir, are you okay?"

I nodded my head, "I'm sorry I get anxiety attacks every so often and they can't be helped, this is the first time music wasn't able to help me. Usually, I would just dance it off, but for some reason, I could only hear your voice and no one else's. So I wish to thank you by giving you lunch on the house for you and your party."

I got up on shaky legs, I tripped and went into a forward roll. I glared to my right, to see the three closed their mouths real quick. I hopped up behind the counter and fixed them food after washing my hands. It's when I noticed Mr. Smith with a handsome guy and the girl from earlier.

"Kai, I want you to meet Li Xian and Yang Zi. They are the ones who will be starring in the show with the song you are preparing." I had explained to Kai and my other two guests. I snickered quietly as I see I have stunned the three.

I only nodded and got up quickly, I pointed to the girl. "You called me sir?! I find that funny, it's been a while since I've been called sir."

"Why can't I call you sir?" I had asked the one they call Kai.

"Well that's easy, I'm female. I'm a Miss, well soon to be Mrs! Ni Hao, I'm Kai It's nice to meet you" I say this as I take off my beanie and face mask.

I giggle because both of them stood quickly and point at me, "Come." I tell them and point them to the V.I.P room, I show them the song and then I start to sing. The guy fainted like Jhope did when I had danced.

I stopped and stood there awkwardly, I didn't know what else to do. I left them in the V.I.P room and went to the balcony, I really wanted this to work for grandfather. But now I don't know, I'm starting to get really frustrated with my voice and the things I like. I walk back in, "Miss, I don't know if I should be apart of the show with my voice." I was starting to doubt myself and I don't know what happens after this.

I walked out the door, I put my face mask on and beanie and just walk. I put shade on so no one could see the tears, fall down my cheeks. I ended up at the park a block away, I texted Mikey to tell Mr. Smith that I was having doubts now that someone I didn't know may not like my music. I sat under the same tree for the third time, I got bored and just walked around the park lost in my thoughts. I didn't even know that I had a bunch of kids follow me till I heard the giggling behind me.

I plopped down on the grass, I took off my shades and pulled off my mask. One of the little girls came and gave me a flower, I smiled down at her and tickled her a little bit. Another kid came and gave me a flower, a few more kids came and gave me a flower each. I smiled and tickled them, I've always liked kids. They made me happy, I am happy that they are so lovable and warm-hearted. "What's with all the flowers?" I had asked them.

They all turned and pointed to the guy from earlier, I gave him a nod. I thanked them and got up dusting myself off. I walked up to him, "Thank you for the flowers, it's cute. My fiancee hasn't even done that for me yet, but I appreciate it." I started to walk back to the Caffe.

"Wait! I know you're probably doubting yourself. I fainted because hearing your sing the song meant for the show, made my heart feel so lighthearted that I forgot to breathe," I tell the girl who I found out her name is Kai. Granddad had said he wanted me & Yang Zi to meet his beautiful granddaughter he has yet to meet. I guess you could say it was love at first sight, her green eyes the color of the greenest grass. Her smile, a hint of a playful smirk. Her features, so playful yet so serious.

"I will tell your grandfather, that we pick you to sing it. The only thing is you will have to sing it live once and then in one of the episodes as well as at the end of the show." I tell her as I give her a smile.

I watched as she walked ahead of me, I got jealous when she walked into a man's arms and he held her close. I called her grandfather telling him what I had discovered and how beautiful she really is.

I wanted her as mine, and I was damn jealous!

I watched the Chinese guy eye my baby girl, I didn't like his vibe at all. I took her inside to see to talk with the talent agent and the Chinese girl. "Baby girl, go talk with them you, will record it after you come back on tour. If you still have doubts just talk to your grandfather, he probably won't be mad at you."

I looked up at Oppa, "Let's go we are going on a trip, grab the 4. Meet me at home, i'll pack my bag and yours. I'm going to mom's, we are going to make a short visit."

I hopped on the bike to see that same guy smirk at me, I get off and turn around walking up to him.

"Hey miss, did you dump your fiancee? I knew you couldn't resist me, A hot piece of..." I didn't even finish what I was saying.

"Same something else and your jaw won't be the only thing I'll break, you don't say that to any female," I yell at the bastard on the ground.

I watch as the girl from earlier start to laugh, "Damn granddad was right, you are just like grandmother!" I say to Kai and pull her in a hug.

I look down at the stupid ass on the floor, "I warned you and look what happened, my cousin is just like me. We don't take shit from anyone, just wait till I tell mom she's going to ring you a new one."

"Hey, Kai, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself further, we're actually your cousins, he's my stepbrother. Our mom is your mom's younger half-sister." I explain to her still laughing at my brother on the ground.

I turn and look at her, "Let me guess, grandfather was testing me if I would stay true to my fiancee. Am I right? Fucking shit, let's go we're going to my mom's. Come on, the dumb ass can find his own way there or he can ask my little brother Mikey, but we're going to ride in style." I tell her and grab her hand leading to her to my bike.

My phone rang while I was pulling away from the curb, YG Appa needed me to come to the office. I rolled my eyes, I pulled over and I called Mikey. Mikey had pulled up, "I need you to take this one to mom, I'm needed at work and tell mom I cracked the one in your car in the jaw for being disrespectful."

Yang Zi hopped off and I told her I would see her later. I put my visor back down and peeled out to YG. I parked in front, I didn't even bother talking of my helmet. It was too bothersome, I walked to the front desk. "Where is he?" That is all I said to the secretary at the front desk. She stammered out in the conference room, I ran up the stairs because I didn't feel like going up the elevator.

I knocked on the conference room door and walked in, I took off my helmet, running my hand through my hair. My face still covered with a face mask, "You called for me sir?!" No Hellos or any other greeting. I bowed respectfully, "Aah there you are Kai, I wish you to meet Bobby. I think it would be very wise for you to collab in the near future perhaps, he can follow you on tour."

I thought for a minute, "Yes sir, whatever you think is best. Uh, bobby is it? This Friday at 7 am meet at the Caffe if you don't come. You will not be going on tour with me, No excuses. I'll be back in Seoul at 5 am, I'll be there already. Oh, don't be surprised at all that shows up. Now if you will excuse me, I have to stop my mom from killing the grandfather I've never met before. One more thing Bobby make sure you come to my mom's farewell party that way you can meet everyone, I'm out Deuces."

"Kai, don't you think you should let him see your face?" I hear YG ask before I stepped out the door.

I looked over my shoulder, "I think I have enough guys chasing me, he can find out Friday. But knowing you, you'll probably tell him by the time I close the door so why ask. Later Appa, see you at dinner same time, if you want to, you can bring the new guy Mino will be there anyways."

"YG, sir. What did he mean he has a lot of guys chasing after him? Does he like men?" I was curious about this Kai Guy, I took a sip of my water.

"Bobby, Kai loves men only. That's only because Kai is a female, trust me you won't regret working with my adopted daughter." I waited for him to sip his water, which ended up getting spat out all over the conference table.
