May 15, 2014 (Thursday) [19:30]“…the much anticipated comeback in the music scene has been officially announced. After two years of hiatus, Kim Hyun Joong’s agency has officially announced his comeback concert on the 8th of June. Tickets will be sold online starting 9pm tonight KST. More details about the concert will be revealed later on, so stay tuned…” (turned off the tv) “In less than a month he’ll be back on stage. Hmm.. I should be there then.” I don’t know how or what I felt. I don’t even know why I felt that way.I grabbed my cell phone and called Min Young. She’s my friend at school and a self-proclaimed “TripleS-since-birth”. “Min Youngie..” and before I could even continue .. “Kyaaaaa!!!!! Can’t wait for August to come! Unnie! Let’s buy his tickets, okay?”“figures. I shouldn’t be surprised of her reaction. Min Youngie.. I just called to check if you were still breathing. I thought you already had a heart attack after hearing the news.” I spoke, trying to hold my laughter. “Unnie, I wanted to call you right after that news but I was paralysed. I was already drifting away in my imaginations and then you called, and then I thought I can’t die.. not now. You saved me!” Min Young was talking really fast, as if she was afraid to lose the words from her head before she could even say them. “Aigoo. Our Min Young is so funny. I’m glad you’re still alive. Don’t think about it so much and try to have a good sleep tonight, okay? And you can’t die yet ‘cause I still need to copy your answer for number 5 tomorrow, okay? Good night.” “Unnie~~!” was the only thing she could say. I hung up. May 15, 2014 (Thursday) [20:45]I didn’t realize that I was sitting in front of my laptop for almost an hour now. Now, I’m pretty sure I feel excited about that comeback concert. As 9pm was almost approaching, my heartbeat started to go faster and louder, it wasn’t as if I could control it. The feeling was like getting ready for a roller coaster ride, sitting with the seatbelt on and just waiting for the ride to start. My palms started to sweat and I was becoming nervous and I wasn’t sure why. I know the tickets wouldn’t sell out that fast, on the first night. But. I. Was. Nervous. [21:00]I refreshed the homepage of the site that was selling the concert tickets, and there it was, right before my very teary eyes.W150,000 – VIP SeatingW150,000 – VIP StandingW100,000 – Gold SeatingW90,000 - Silver SeatingW80,000 - Bronze Seating VIP seating.. VIP standing.. A ticket worth a week’s rental .. A could-be once in a lifetime experience..Before I could even move my hand, my cell phone started to ring. “Unnie!! I bought two VIP standing tickets for us. Pay me tomorrow…and oh! The answer for number 5 is ‘5 syllables first line and 7 syllables second line’, just in case I don’t wake up tomorrow. Haha! Kidding. Annyeong!” It was Min Young. She hung up but I was still speechless and empty-headed. I turned on my iPod and lied down on my sofa (which also served as my bed). I stared at the ceiling with nothing in my head, and eventually fell asleep.
