Chapter 6 – Framboise or Blind Karaoke: part 2
In the previous episode: "He keeps touching my nose all the time." ... "Quoi?" ... "Masao!"
In this episode:
They entered an inconspicuous karaoke bar that had arrows all around it saying "Hide here!". It was an excellent hiding spot. As they entered, they could hear the song Dancing Queen playing. It seemed to have a rather calming effect on Mi Nyu, who immediately stopped yelling 'Masao!'.
"Parfait!" exclaimed Jeremy. "See! I speak français! It makes this place so much better!"
The twins looked at the bubbly blond in confusion as he looked around grinning brightly. Not hearing the awaited explanation to his declaration, Mi Nyu asked him what he meant. He didn't seem to understand the question.
"What do you mean?" he asked pointing a finger at her face.
"Well..." began Mi Nyu, "you said that you spoke French and that it made this place better. We...well...it doesn't really make sense."
"How does it not make sense? It makes perfect sense!" replied the blond, insulted. "Français makes everything meilleur!"
Mi Nam and Mi Nyu were still confused but didn't try asking him to explain himself again. They looked at each other and exchanged a few words while Jeremy was busy staring in awe at a bowl of candy on a table next to him. Mi Nam approached him while Mi Nyu walked away. He was about to say something when Jeremy decided to attack the bowl. Not willing to deal with a crying child, he let him be, even though he was getting dirty stares from the employees. He took out his phone and went directly on Google Translator. It might help me figure out what the hell 'parfait' and 'meilleur' mean, he thought.
"Weren't you raised in England? Why would you like French so much?" asked Mi Nam, after he figured out what the blond had said. It wasn't anything too spectacular. He was slightly disappointed.
"I always thought the French people were really mean and not even nice, but Thierry taught me that they are really friendly! And like to touch noses!" he answered, his mouth full of sweets.
"But I like to touch your nose..." muttered Mi Nam. He looked down and seemed a bit saddened by what Jeremy had said, but the other didn't notice.
"Touch your nose?" asked Mi Nyu, who had just used her brother's money to pay for their karaoke session. She approached Jeremy to test it out, but he suddenly stood up and pushed her against a wall. Not realizing what he had done, he started jumping up and down while clapping his hands in excitement.
"I WANT TO SING SOME LORIEEEEE!" he yelled and ran towards the owner to ask if they had songs from his favourite singer.
Mi Nam helped her sister get back up, then followed Jeremy to stop him. He didn't know who this Lorie person was, but it sounded dangerous. Before he could reach him, the blond was running back crying.
"They don't have ANY of her songs!" he sobbed. "They even laughed at me..."
"Who is Lorie?" asked Mi Nyu. She winced as Jeremy grabbed her roughly by the shoulders and brought his face very close to hers. His grip felt very painful after being pushed so violently against a wall.
"She's the greatest French singer ever!" he exclaimed. His grip loosened as he backed away slightly with a lovely little pout. "Thierry doesn't like her though... He calls her a pute. Then, he laughs and says 'Hon hon, but she iz a goode one'."
"Do they have Britney Spears?" asked Mi Nam, hopeful, as they walked towards their reserved room.
"You really are annoying." said Tae Kyung.
Yoo He Yi was confused to say the least. She was vividly reminded of Katy Perry's song Hot N Cold, but she didn't know why. She couldn't concentrate when the manager of the Café was dragging her by the leg away from her love.
"Tae Kyung Oppa, save me!" she cried. She begged him with her eyes. He didn't move and just kept staring back at her. "TAE KYUNG!" she yelled in frustration. The Café manager was now laughing like a maniac. A smirk appeared on Tae Kyung's face.
"You shouldn't have stolen food." the man replied, sounding indifferent.
Shin Woo, still in place after Mi Nyu's sudden departure only moments ago, rolled his eyes at his band mate's immaturity and stopped the manager in his tracks with a glare. Yeah, he's that badass. Solemnly, he lent a hand to the "poor girl" on the ground. The manager had dropped her when Shin Woo had started glaring at him. He helped her up and rapidly got out of the death grip she had on his hand. He was a gentleman, but it was Yoo He Yi. He didn't feel the need to be excessively nice with her, so he dismissed her and took a step towards the terrified manager. The musician then smiled softly and gave the man some money. It wasn't enough, but the manager was too scared and ran away, gesticulating (A.N. We love that word in English).
Now that that was settled, Shin Woo was ready to set his wrath upon his stupid band mate. He walked to Tae Kyung, who was still smirking. He stood two feet in front of him, crossed his arms, and frowned. Seeing that smirk up close only made him angrier.
"Jerk. How could you do this to Mi Nyu? Why do you always do these things?" snapped the tea-less man (he didn't have a cup of tea to calm him down).
"Don't make this about me!" the leader screeched all red in the face. Shin Woo's accusing tone always made him lose control on his temper. Amongst many other things...
"It is about you, idiot! You're the reason Mi Nyu is so upset! You're always the reason why she comes crying to me. Can't you see what you're doing to her?" At that point, Shin Woo's eyes were stinging from the accumulated tears and he hoped the other wouldn't notice. "Such an innocent soul soiled by your sins! 'Thou shall not cheat'! Haven't you heard of that one? It's in that Bible Mi Nyu talks so much about!"
Tae Kyung didn't know what to answer to that. He had never seen Shin Woo so upset. His eyes were shining with tears and his face had gotten completely red. He said the first thing that came to mind.
"Well...she started it!" exclaimed Tae Kyung. It was much louder than he expected it to be. 'She started it?', he thought. He's going to think I'm a complete idiot! Tae Kyung's face became even redder and he stomped his foot on the ground, frustrated by his own stupidity.
"What?" Shin Woo was now angry and confused. How could she possibly have started this? he asked himself. He didn't comment on it any further, however, after seeing Tae Kyung's reaction after saying it. He seemed so upset. Could there really be something else going on? He wondered. His features softened as Tae Kyung seemed even more upset. He was about to say something to try and calm his band leader down, but was interrupted.
"You stole her away from me!" Tae Kyung yelled, desperately trying to change the subject. He really didn't want Shin Woo to think of him as an idiot and getting him back into an argument seemed like the best way to go. Tae Kyung wiped his eyes rapidly. He WASN'T crying at this point. To his surprise, Shin Woo didn't even try to defend himself by explaining why he was out with her today.
"I deserve her more than you," Shin Woo muttered to himself.
Tae Kyung heard him and saw red. He didn't dare...that bastard.
"I'll prove you wrong," he said, then left.
Shin Woo went to buy a cup of tea...he really needed to calm down. The only person left was a fuming Yoo He Yi. She felt so...so...used.
"How could they do this? I'm Korea's Fairy and they're only Korea's second favourite band!" She cried for a while and finally called her manager when it started to get dark.
At the karaoke bar...
"Moi j'préfère rester toute seule! Sous leurs airs innocents..." sang Jeremy. He had brought his own CD of Lorie in case situations like these occurred. One must always be ready! He knew the song by heart and was able to sing it passionately while listening to the conversation between Mi Nam and Mi Nyu.
"...and then, he kissed her fully on the mouth! Right in front of me! I don't get it. Why is he so mean? Doesn't he love me? I try so much to please him..." whined Mi Nyu.
"What?" interrupted Mi Nam, who didn't like the idea of his sister pleasing anyone.
"I try not to bother him, to conform to the person he wants me to be, to not anger him...it's hard but...I love him. Why is he so pissy?"
Jeremy had had enough. He couldn't bare the thought of his Mi Nyu being played like this by a jerk like Tae Kyung. Even though Jeremy loved his Hyung, he knew he could be really mean. Mi Nyu didn't deserve this.
"I know what you can do!" he exclaimed, stopping his singing completely, to the relief of the audience (Mi Nam was right when he thought Lorie might be dangerous).
Jeremy put both his arms around the twins and exposed his own little master plan.
