If you want to dress up, just dress up. I listened to this song and liked it and wanted to write it. Write your first story I don't want everyone to like me. But I really just want to dress up...
"You....you....you!!!"
A woman's shrill voice sounded above my head. Wake me up from my sweet slumber in my last class.
"If you haven't woken up yet. We won't wait.”
Ah, please wake up. This girl is really complaining.
"Yawn.... I'm awake. Please wait a moment."
I answered, looking up from my desk. Right now, all around me, friends were rushing to pack up their things, as if if they stayed a little longer they might be dragged away to help with work somewhere. I rubbed my (existent) hair a little. Stretch a little more. And yawned again until tears fell. before turning to face the deadly stares of the person next to him I looked at her face silently.
"How long will you look at his face again? You can collect your things now. What kind of language is this man who acts like a jerk?"
This time I didn't say anything. She immediately picked up my bag and threw it in. Luckily I caught it in time or it would have hit me in the face. And because there was nothing to argue about, I immediately lowered my head and packed my school supplies into my bag.
"Oh, it's finished. Let's go," I said, standing up. Put the chairs away before being preached to again by Ms.
“Well, then let's hurry and go. Today you're leaving school early. Do you want to go for a walk before you go back?"
I looked at her face in disbelief. For her to invite her to go for a walk is very strange. Normally, when he saw that school was over, he would drag me into the car and drive home. What mood are you in today that invites me to take a walk? But even though in my heart I thought how abnormal it was, I just answered.
"Okay, but where are you going? There are only a few places to walk around here.”
"And who told you that you wanted to travel around here?" She looked at me suspiciously. Before smiling widely and pulling my wrist to walk out of this classroom...
After she took me to my daily bus, I was in a daze. 'Why do you want to go for a walk first? In the end, I returned home as usual.'
"Put the sign in front of this."
Her voice brought my mind back from the scenery on the side of the road that I had grown accustomed to seeing. The two of us walked out of the car, basking in the heat of the afternoon sun, which even though it had drifted further west, it was still doing its job diligently. She walked ahead of me along the path while looking down at her phone. I walked slowly behind her.
Look at the white back of a high school uniform. Her hair tied into a ponytail swayed back and forth with the rhythm of her steps. Before smiling a little when thinking about the past The girl in front of me still cuts her hair in a short, bowler style, which makes me tease her every day. The figure in front of me now has the proportions of a high school uniform. Even though you can't say that it's a mannequin. or slim But it's not ugly.
Even though before, I was both short and tall. I followed along absentmindedly until my nose nearly collided with her head. The faint scent of shampoo floated seductively against his nose.
"Oh, you're going to stop, why don't you tell us first?"
"Don't be crazy about this. When people stop walking, do we have to tell each other first? Now, let's help look at the map. Why are you walking and walking and he's so confused?"
She said as she held the phone in front of me.
"Don't tell me you led us astray."
I pretended to say as I took the phone into my hand. Um..where are you now?
"I'm not lost...maybe haha."
There are still faces smiling at me. Brought here without telling the destination and the owner himself seems to have never been there.
"Does this mean you're taking us to the observatory?"
I asked because the destination was already listed on my phone.
“Yes, he was playing on the phone and found it. But the observatory has to come at night, right? And he didn't know who to invite who could stay up that late, so he had to invite you."
"Oh, that's really good. I didn't know who to invite, so I invited you."
"Nice, I guess I'll come relax as well."
"So at home, do you mind if you come home this late?"
"No matter what, he already told me he was coming with you."
At home, you can trust me, right? Eh, or did he actually trust this girl to be able to protect herself more?
After walking for a short time, we appeared in front of a clean white building, about the height of a 5-story building. The entrance was a solid automatic door. It looks like there must be an air conditioner installed inside.
“However, if we had just looked at the map from the beginning, we would have been confused for a long time. You don't have to walk around in the sun until your head is black and your face is this red."
I spoke up.
"Yes, you are the most talented father. But right now he can't take it, so I'd like to go in and get some cool air conditioning first."
"Oh, we're free."
Just walking through the door is like going into another world. Cool air flows across the skin. The interior is beautifully decorated in an otherworldly fantasy style. There is a sofa to sit on for visitors. At the counter there is a young man standing to greet you wearing casual clothes. A human-sized poster stands prominently next to the counter. I looked around and really liked this observatory.
"Guys, let's go ask him for information." His eyes lit up. I can't see a handsome man like this.
"Keep your cool a little. You look like you're going to eat him whole.” I muttered, a little annoyed. But she didn't care and hurriedly walked towards the counter.
"Brother, if you want to go up and look at the stars, what do you have to do?"
“This is your first time here, right? First, fill out the registration form here. And there is an entrance fee of 100 baht, but if you are a student, show your student ID and there will be only 70 baht left."
Both she and I rushed to find student ID cards. Where do you usually carry them? After searching for a while, I found the student ID card lying at the bottom of my school bag. I turned to her and found that she still couldn't find me.
"Did you find it? If you don't find it, just pay."
"You'll pay for it, right?"
"That's too bad. Whose is it? We hardly have any money."
"Oh, he brought me here. You must be the one to leave. This is if you don't have him. Do you know that there is a place like this around here?
“Okay, I can give it to you, but try looking in your wallet. Surely not?"
I asked for a hundred baht. It's not a little at all. I turned and smiled dryly at the employee who wasted our time. Before the older woman who had been busy with the computer in front of her for a while looked up and smiled.
"Right now we have a promotion, little one."
She said with a smile before pointing at the poster next to the counter.
'Special promotion for the month of happiness. Just show the items together or in a group and get a 50% discount per person!!!'
Large letters are easy to read and pleasing to the eyes. But I don't know how this content stirs things up in my heart. However, the number fifty stood out and it hit the eyeballs of the person next to me.
"What do we have in common? It's 50%. Find it quickly."
Hey, they're a couple. How can I go about having it? We're not... boyfriend and girlfriend.
“That's what he gave you as a birthday present last time. Are you still using it?"
Oh, you mean that stupid keychain, of course...
"Oh, it's hanging from the pencil case just like you ordered. It couldn't be removed so it hung like that."
"Gee, very good. Bring it."
Hey, don't tell me this girl has it too.
"This is it, my older sister."
She handed me a pencil bag with a doll in the shape of Nong Khai lying down and showing her butt hanging from the pendant that she hung from the small bag in her hand.. which was the exact same doll as mine.
"Okay. I agree to a 50% discount from the full price to 50 baht per person. Would you like some snacks and drinks to eat?"
“Umm, what do you want?” she asked me.
"I don't want it anymore. Please save money for us to go home."
I said as I took out a hundred dollar bill from my pocket. Hand it to the older sister in front of you.
"Thank you for using the service. You can walk up to the elevator on the left. May you be happy with the stars of the night."
"Yes."
We walked to the elevator on the left side as he told us. Once you enter the elevator and press the floor number, The entire elevator fell silent. It's just you and me in this elevator. To break the silence, I decided to ask something that was on my mind.
“Did you buy this keychain again? So give it to us."
".....Um, something like that."
"So, what is it like?"
"...." She didn't answer me but instead picked up the phone and headphones. In which I just stood and stared at the face of the person who refused to answer anything and just ran away by entering the world of music.
Ding!
The elevator opened again. So I gave up thinking about what to do with the person in front of me. and walked out of the elevator The picture before me made me a little stunned. Wide, beautifully decorated balcony There were several reclining chairs occupied by people, couples, groups of friends, and families all lined up. I looked around.
Before he saw an empty space, he pulled the hand of the person next to him to follow. Even though it wasn't dark enough to see the stars yet. But there are quite a few people who come to this place. I had no idea that there would be so many people who liked places like this.
I looked around again before finding an empty seat as far as I could see. before pulling his arm by his side to follow him towards his destination. The two of us walked in silence. No one said anything. Until we arrived at a brown woven chair with a vintage tone. I had her sit down before walking around and sitting in another chair next to it.
"....Ah," she said and handed me one earphone.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked, because it seemed a bit sweet to lie down and look at the stars and listen to music from the same phone. Earphones on each side like this
"Take it. Are you going to lie down and look at the stars alone? You don't have any music in your heart."
I received it and barked my teeth at people who talked a lot. before stuffing that earphone into his own ear The music I heard was in an unfamiliar language. But it's not too difficult to guess. The reason was because the person next to him was a secret fan that only a few people knew about.
Listen 가을이 나에게 남겨준 공허함
(Listen The feeling autumn left
The chilly wind that hints winter is coming soon
I can still feel your warmth So I know fall and winter would be painful)
(The one I loved without a reason Is disappearing Remembering our memories I’ll cherish them My time with you I realized was a treasure
My love, love, you’re leaving me now,)
사랑 사랑 yeah~ Woah~ (yeah, yeah~)
사랑 사랑 yeah~ Oh no~
No oh~ Oh oh~
이제 날 떠나가네 oh woah~
(Love love yeah~ Woah~ (yeah, yeah~)
Love love yeah~ Oh no~
The time spent with you
I realized was special
My love, love, you’re leaving me
No oh~ Oh oh~
You’re leaving me now)....
“The song is nice,” I said, even though I couldn't translate it.
"Well, the meaning is good too," she said, smiling. before turning to look at the sky that had begun to change from bright orange to night. The moon is still just a shadow
The sun slowly disappeared from the sky. Meanwhile, the song they were listening to slowly changed its tune.
"Can you please listen to the same song again?" she asked after the song had changed its tune for just a moment.
"Um, let's do it," I said because of the fact that I thought the song just now was good. Listened again and there were no problems. She clicked on the phone screen before the original song came on. We sat quietly, enjoying the sight of the sky gradually darkening. Before I start speaking
"In a little more than a month we'll be graduating from Mathayom 6. We probably haven't seen each other in a while."
"Um, that's it. I said it too quickly. We've known each other since. Has it been 6 years already?"
“Think about when we first met. At that time, if we hadn't bumped into each other at the bus stop, we wouldn't have known that our houses were so close to each other."
"Oh, we've been together since we almost finished Mathayom 1. I just found out that our houses are close to each other. It's so strange that we've never met before, haha."
“After that we always went home together. At that time, the people in the room were teasing each other so much that where he was, he came and told them to go home together, haha."
"Oh, those guys understand that too....Do you remember one day when we came home very late and you sent him home? I almost had my father hit me on the head with a stick. It was really funny, haha."
"Funny....so funny. We ran away and hid our heads, but you laughed and laughed. It's a good thing your mother came out to stop us in time, otherwise we'd definitely have our heads broken."
"Yes. After that, you became the beloved child of the house."
"You're my beloved child...do you love me?" I don't know what inspired me to speak like this. Maybe it's because of the good atmosphere. Or because of what we talked about...the time will come when we will have to say goodbye to each other soon. Made me decide to say something.
".....I love you. You're....his best friend." She replied after a moment of silence and turned her head back to look at the night sky, refusing to meet my eyes.
"The stars tonight are really beautiful. The music is beautiful, the atmosphere is nice, and I have good friends like you." She smiled at the sky that was filled with twinkling stars.
"Um...really beautiful." I replied, still looking at her face. She probably doesn't know that in my eyes she is as beautiful as the stars in the sky.
She turned her head to look at me again and smiled faintly at me.
"Do you know what the meaning of this song is?"
“How are we supposed to know?” I replied.
"It sings...'The person I love the most has passed away and only memories are left....and when she passed away I realized that the time we spent together was just precious. Where?'” I stared into her eyes. Try to read what she's thinking right now. Her eyes seemed to be filled with trembling.
Some insecurities and feelings that I thought I knew well. Like my eyes when I secretly looked at her often when she wasn't aware. She stared back at me before continuing.
"Like a bright star in the night It's so bright it's almost like you can touch it. And in just a moment it was gone forever. He... doesn't want you to disappear like a star." I tried to interpret what she meant. But before I understood anything She was the one who told me with her own mouth.
"I'm pleased. He likes you...." She said in a low whisper, but I heard it clearly.
"You...really like me..." I repeated blurryly. like a dream Everything seems unclear. Even the person in front of me
“You are like a star to him. Bright when we're dark Pleasant..why are you crying?" When she asked, I realized that before, when everything was blurred, it was because I was crying right now. I wiped away the tears before pulling the person next to me into a tight hug.
“Dao, we...sorry. Listen carefully to what we have to say next...we love stars. I've loved you since I don't know when. All we know is that when we were conscious again, we saw stars in our eyes all the time. I never liked it when Dao messed with other men. Stars are like stars in the sky for us. So far away that I can't reach my hand Even though you can't see it, you know it's always there.
Encourage us every time we are weak. There are many people who want to reach for their own stars. And we were never brave enough to compete with others. All you can do is look away. ...but Dao...we I have to study abroad and may not come back soon. We don't want to hold the star back with our commitments.
Actually, today we are going to tell Dao about this. So I'm sorry. I really can't accept Rak Dao's love." When I finished speaking, I felt a trembling from the person in my arms along with a wet feeling on my back. I can only hold you as tight as I can. It pains me to say this too.
But because I know best that making a promise to Dao will keep her from finding someone better. Including if I meet someone who makes me love more than a star. It will hurt both of us...
“He understands that he doesn't want to be tied to us. He didn't think that he would go to study abroad... I might be happy to meet someone better than me over there. Who knows, haha. But from now on, we'll be apart for a while. He probably really couldn't accept it. Please give him some time." She said in a trembling voice that no matter how you listened, you knew it wasn't okay. But I couldn't do anything..
The two of us left the observatory and went home together. I dropped her off at the front of the house. And at that time, Dao handed me a star-shaped keychain that was similar to mine.
"If the day we meet again...and we still haven't changed our minds Bring this keychain with you. Dao really loves you.” And that's what Dao told me on the day we last met.
I sat and looked at the two star-shaped keychains hanging together for a long time. And a bright yellow card..worthy of a star in your hand.
'Dao & Chain'
It's what's on the card cover. I stopped thinking about the past and stopped thinking about the girl with pigtails that had been stuck in my mind for a long time but I'd never seen again. So many memories seem to be packed into that pair of keychains...
I got up and picked up the card and put the keychain back in the same place before walking out...
No oh~ Oh oh~
이제 날 떠나가네 oh woah~
(No oh~ Oh oh~
You’re leaving me now)
And now you have left me...
