Friends From a Different (1/1)
The days after the practice were pretty much the same. We went home, went out to eat, and went to sleep. Next day would be, change to guy, dance practice, go home, eat, sleep. Two days after the first practice, we went to perform in their concert. We were amazing. Mom called us, she already knew about the whole gender thing. She said we were perfect and can't wait until we go home. Next day, instead of practice, we went to celebrate.We had gone to a club. Super Junior had brought all their friends because Manager Oppa said that concert was the best they ever done and all the seats were sold out! There was Girls' Generation, SHINee, B2ST, f(x), Kara, 2pm, and more people. There were about 50 people there.Me and Haylie were at the side. We couldn't drink; we were still only 19. That's when the most incredible thing happened. As we were sitting in a booth, 3 girls came down to sit with us. Apparently some of them were too young to drink, too. They sat with us. The girl with the black hair and blonde tips looked at us and said, "Hey, you two look familiar. What are your names?" I looked and said, "Lee Minghae and Mingjae. We dance with Super Junior." The girl said, "Oh that's cool. I'm Krystal Jung. I'm in f(x), I came from the States. So did my sister." She pointed at the blonde who said, "Hi, I'm Jessica Jung. I'm from SNSD." Krystal said, "And this is one of my co-members, Luna." Jessica and Krystal Jung were such familiar names. And Luna looked so much alike to Sun Young."Excuse me, Luna? What's your birth name?" she answered quickly. "Park Sun Young!" I screamed, but, nobody at the real party could hear over their screams and the loud music. Everyone in the booth stared at me. I calmed down. I talked to Krystal. In English I said, "Tallie! It's us Kaylie and Haylie Lee. From California!" Krystal and Jessica stared, and then suddenly screamed, too. Luna and Haylie were still in the shadows.I turned to Haylie. "Hayls? Don't you remember Krystal and Jessie? It was 12 years ago. We were only 7 years old and still lived in California. Jessica and Krystal lived across the street and we always went over when Jessie was left alone with Krystal. They only 4 and 9 years old. We ran around their house in our underwear!" Remembering that, Haylie started laughing. Luna was still confused. I turned to Luna.Me and Haylie were born in South Korea. That's why we still have Korean names. We moved to San Francisco when we were 5. Luna had been our mom's co-worker's daughter. We met when they brought us to work on the same day. Ever since then we were best friends. We kept in touch after we moved, but since Granny died when we were 6 we stopped.Luna started to remember she said, "OMO! I've miss you guys. I still got pictures of you two in my closet! No one could replace you guys! You always kept me on my feet, made me stay on the right path, and always were there when I was sad!" She looked like she was going to cry, but Sun Young was never the one to cry even when she broke her arm. She was the strong one.Jessica looked at us. "Why are you two dressed like that? You look like guys! Plus, what was with the names Minghae and Mingjae?" Hayls and I exchanged looks. We told them everything. Luna looked excited after we told them. She said, "Do you mind if ONE guy knows who you are? I'm positive you'll be happy with it!" Before we answered, she pushed her little body through the crowd of people and had some guy’s wrist in her hand. She was literally dragging him!"Do you two remember... KIM KIBUM?!?!?!?!" He looked up. Haylie and I screamed one more time. At first Kibum didn't know who we were. And then after a while, he started screaming, too. We hugged him. He gave us puzzling looks at what we looked like. Luna explained. Kibum was the kid who lived in the apartment over ours in Korea, He was always dancing and singing and trying to rap. He was our best friend in Korea!Haylie said, "Wow. All of our old friends became singers. That's weird!" We all laughed. Kibum, who you all know him as Key from SHINee, said, "So, you're dancers now? Congrats. How's being with Super Junior?" We answered honestly. "It's fun. Except around Leeteuk. He's always Mr. Grumpy!" Kibum laughed. "Didn't you listen to SHINee or any of our songs?" I answered. "To be honest, yes. I love SHINee. But I barely listened to SNSD or f(x). I have some songs, but I never watched the videos. Sorry. "Krystal said, "No hard feelings," and smiled."How did you not notice who I was in the SHINee videos," Kibum asked a little irritated. He's so dramatic! Haylie said, "Admit it. They have to readjust things to make you look good in the videos!" Kibum pouted and crossed his arms. Haylie kissed him on the cheek. "We still love you, Kim Kibum."
