Track No 02 – Twinkle (2)

Perhaps on the first day, she had just been intimidated by the atmosphere that she had encountered for the first tih school girl as a relationshi+p with the girls in our class

On top of that, what tookalso showed considerable enthusiasm in her studies

Although not even a week had passed since her transfer, and she had never properly attended school before, she could not be free from the term finals that were not far away, since she was also a student However, Ki seemed to enjoy this situation that one could consider unfair The sight of her sticking right next to the teacher or her classht that could be seen often, right from the day after her transfer

If the situation above wasn’t the case, Ki would put her earphones on and listen to music alone; this was the one moment when nobody in the class interrupted her It seereed upon the fact that they should not bother an international pop star while she was listening to ht that maybe it wouldn’t be too bad to become famous It wasn’t often that one could experience another person respecting one’s private time

Perhaps because I was exhausted by the commotion that continued for days, I oftentimes collapsed onto my bed when I returned home late from cram school

Today as well, the finals practice questions that the hoave us to finish until toued body stuck to the comfortable blankets and refused to separate from them Of course, yesterday, when I had to return fro than today, but the past was just the past All I could do was stretch my arm to take out the CD player from the set of drawers beside my bed

When I pressed the play button, grand orchestral music rolled out immediately It seemed to fade out in an instant while the piano solo replaced it, and a girl’s voice was quietly placed on top It was a young voice, but it could be instantly recognised that it was the voice that I had heard today as well

The voice whispered as if it was tickling somebody, then exploded powerfully at the refrain The resonant singing ability held a different charm from the earlier voice I licked my dry lips and took out a music album from one of the drawers

The albuift four years ago, was still as good as new Even though, of course, the lack of fingerprints on an object synorance

On the albu while her blonde hair hung loose Underneath it, a brilliant cursive engraved in intaglio caught one’s eyes

Angel0

A y, born between a falish pianist e

It was the first albu

She had been riding on fay in her early days because of her beautiful appearance and outstanding skills Although she received more attention from our country early in her career, as half of her blood was Korean, her lish, her appearance was said to be the advent of an angel, and her singing ability that the sky had gifted her with made her a ide star in a flash Now, due to her endless activities, she had cliainst internationally recognised top singers

In the beginning of November, the news that she was a fixed nominee for a few authoritativequickly

Noannounced a hiatus out of the blue

Since it was Ki, who had held a concert the very day before, the announceh to push the world into shock Soon, press interviews around the world relayed the news live, but Ki that she would take soe

It was obvious that the massafterwards Meaningless speculative articles and ru her hiatus and transfer spread, but Ki’s side did not pay a hair of attention When many conspiracy theories circulated, our schoolthat “her father wished to send his daughter to alma mater, which was our school”

As such, Ki her school life as normally as possible My nor on ossip and laying about

I once again organized everything into the drawers and sat in front of the desk I was just looking throughout a sheet full of questions when I suddenly felt

Why did these things only happen when a student decided to study?

I answered the phone with deploration

“hello?”

「Moi」

It was a fa jabber When I stayed silent, subsequently once again

「Moi」

I ondering how I should respond when that ain

「Moi」

“…… Moi”

「Whoa, awesome As expected of ?」

(TL: Koreans cos This also applies to co-workers)

When I imitated her word like a parrot, a speech of praise towards h the earpiece When I checked the screen of the phone, I noticed that the arrangee and unfamiliar to me

Did this human really just call me from Finland?

I pretended not to feel anything and grumbled into the phone

“Finnish or Danish or whatever – why should I care? Do you knohat time it is now?”

「Where are your manners to your older sister, who even took the effort to call you via an international call froet scolded?」

“Do you wanna get scolded by auntie because you called at 1 am?”

「So petty! Don’t tell on Mom!」

One could easily hen they seized the opposition’s weakness

“You went travelling in secret again, didn’t you?”

「Yeah」

Sangah-noona answered obediently, quickly disheartened byood cause, and I didn’t feel very good listening her respond with this kind of attitude either

As a kind younger brother, I decided to cheer her up

“So you wanted to boast about it? Finland is awesome?”

「Yeah! It’s seriously like heaven here! This is the promised land of metal! The you in my fantasy!」

(TL: “The you inby Seo Taeji)

I really did not agree with the last statement

I could tell how excited noona was froh-tensioned person to begin with, but I could feel that she was having fun just fro her voice over the earpiece

Finland was a place that was often ah-noona I was never the expert in it, but noona would always excitedly spill out an ode to that country of rock

I quickly asked, in order to seal Sangah-noona’sabout her plans one by one

“Are you travelling with your band people again?”

「Yeah We met up with a few other band people over here and drank ‘til dawn! Everyun’s knocked out I’m the first to wake up Just now!」

Ah, h, it should be okay since she wasn’t the type to show bad drinking habits – I knew since I had cleaned up after her multiple times – I offered a moment of silence for the people who had collapsed in front of Sangah-noona’s drinking capacity, which was said to be undefeatable even by ainst alcohol

Oblivious to h that seemed to show her happiness: 「Hehehe」 It was clear that she was calling while she was still hungover Don’t go all drunk-crazy on a minor, woman

“It’s past o to bed”

「It’s not even five over here But it’s already dark! So there ain’t much difference from there It’s dark all the same」

No, there are a lot of differences

「So anye’ve decided that we’ll go see a dinosaur after lunch tomorrow!」

“A dinosaur?”

「Yeah Apparently dinosaurs perform here」

I changedtone

“I’m sorry, noona I didn’t know You sound like you’ve been through a lot”

「Don’t treatis that there’s a band called Heavy Saurus here! Though, it’s a project band!」

So, to suah-noona’s explanation that continued on and on, it see to dress up as dinosaurs and play rockthe day, and li of the children’s ears

The question why? automatically popped into my head, but it seemed like it was the country of rock, after all They were even providing the children with prerequisite learning
