Our Hearts Harmony: Chapter 5 - Fifth Week (A Perfect Harmony)


Narrator: The next day, after practice, Henry was checking his guitar when Kevin requested Gwen to buy some lattes for the two of them. Gwen frowned and went away.


Henry (Jong Hun): You did it on purpose.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): I did. And I want to talk to you, man to man.

Henry (Jong Hun): I love Gwen.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Even before you came, I loved her already. I loved her for long.

Henry (Jong Hun): You think I loved her the first time we saw each other here in this academy? Everybody thinks that way. Nobody even knew I had loved her back then in middle school, when I was in the last section, and she was in the first.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (stunned) ....

Henry (Jong Hun): See? I loved her first.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): But she knew me first.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Kevin...you...

(both guys look at her)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Gwen... I...

Gwen (Shin Hye): Mianhada, Kevin... Mianhada, Henry... (runs away)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): I’m gonna find her.

Henry (Jong Hun): And so do I.

Narrator: Both guys went out of the music room to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found. Kevin was sensible enough to reach for his phone and dial the number of his best friend but she was not answering.


Kevin (Yong Hwa): Please.... please pick up.

(lights lit up at the left side, Shin Hye crouching)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Gwen!

(Shin Hye looks at him, stunned)


Yong Hwa: Gwen... I... (knelts and hugs her)


Gwen (Shin Hye): Kevin... you... You love me?

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Ne... I have loved you for long. I waited for years to confess, to be sure that my feelings are real. And even if we did not debut together, I never forgot you. Saranghae...

Gwen (Shin Hye): Saranghae... I was also in love with you for a long time, but I got scared... I got scared of rejection... I was traumatized with my love for Patrick-oppa... so I was afraid that you’ll not feel the same way too...

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Ani... I love you... I love you so much.


(Both look at each other. Yong Hwa leans forward, and Shin Hye closes her eyes. She is just acting the part, of course, but Yong Hwa, who had been in love with her the first time he saw her, kisses her lips softly, then passionately to show her that he really loved her, and that the kiss was not that of Kevin’s kiss to Gwen, but Yong Hwa’s kiss to Shin Hye. Shin Hye wraps her arms around him.)

(all the while, Kalm Dawn sings “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer in the background. And Jong Hun sees them kissing each other. He shows a sad face and walks out).

Narrator: The next day, the two lovers came in the music room in cloud nine, and they were holding hands. They found Henry sluggishly playing his guitar.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Henry...mianhada...

Henry (Jong Hun): Please leave us for a moment, Kevin.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Just say it while I am here.

Henry (Jong Hun): Araso... I love Gwen too, but I know she will always choose you... So I guess... I guess... I will have to give up. Chukhahae...

(Yong Hwa goes to Jong Hun and pats his shoulder)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Komawo...

Henry (Jong Hun): I will drop my love, but if you hurt her, I will come back to hunt you down.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): No worries, I will not hurt her.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (looks at Jong Hun sadly) Kevin, can you please leave us for a bit? I think he may have something to tell me...

Henry (Jong Hun): What do you mean? That was it!

Kevin (Yong Hwa): I get it. Araso.

(Yong Hwa exits)

Henry (Jong Hun): You are right. I have some explaining to do.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Na do... I am sorry for listening to your fight yesterday...

Henry (Jong Hun): Kwaenchanha... Eventually, you will learn how the two guys in your life got to fall head over heels for you...

Gwen (Shin Hye): I am sorry for hurting your feelings.

Henry (Jong Hun): Kwaenchanha. Maybe he can give you love more than I do... You see that I am a bit of a possessive guy... I might... only hurt you.

(Shin Hye goes to him and wraps her arms around him).

Gwen (Shin Hye): Please still be friends with me, with us... You had taught me so much, in music and in love... Please... please do not leave the group.

Henry (Jong Hun): Who says I am leaving the group?

Gwen (Shin Hye): (takes out her arms) You... you won’t?

Henry (Jong Hun): Ya~~ we are trio. We are professionals. Your relationship with Kevin might be soon a public knowledge, but I know our professionalism is all that is needed to keep the trio up, araso? I am not leaving the group.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Komawo...

Narrator: Five months after Kevin and Gwen got to be lovers, Rain formally introduced the trio to the Korean population. They released their first official single, which was written by Henry and Kevin, a wonderful collaboration by the two. They also appeared in several variety shows, and fans grew by the number, both Korean and international fans.

(lights off.... then on. We see the three, with Shin Hye on the acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Yong Hwa on lead guitar and vocals, and Jong Hun on guitar and back up vocals)


Perfect Harmony
(Peformed By Rags Cast featuring Keke Palmer & Max Schneider)


Gwen (Shin Hye):
When I first saw you
Didn’t know what to think
But something about you is so interesting
I can see me and you
Being best friends
The kind of friends that finish each other’s sentences

Gwen (Shin Hye) lead & Henry (Jong Hun) back up:
When I can’t think of the right words to say
I just sing “oh oh oh)
Come on and harmonize with my melody
We’ll just sing “oh oh oh)
Ain’t it a Perfect Harmony?

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
I would of never though I’d be here with you
To start a friendship that is so brand new
It’s so amazing I have to say
Never met someone that had so much in common with me

Kevin (Yong Hwa) lead & Henry (Jong Hun) back up:
Now I can look into your eyes all day
And just say “oh oh oh)
I wanna harmonize with your melody
We’ll just sing ” oh oh oh)
Ain’t it a Perfect Harmony?

Gwen (Shin Hye):
Sometimes in your lifetime you look and search for...

Gwen (Shin Hye) & Kevin (Yong Hwa):
Someone just to care

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
Look around at it was there

Gwen (Shin Hye) & Kevin (Yong Hwa):
And we didn’t need to go no where

Gwen (Shin Hye) & Kevin (Yong Hwa) lead, Henry (Jong Hun) back up:
When I can’t think of the right words to say
I just sing “oh oh oh)
Come on and harmonize with my melody
We’ll just sing “oh oh oh)
Ain’t it a Perfect Harmony?

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
You got me

Gwen (Shin Hye):
I got you

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
I got you

Gwen (Shin Hye):
You got me

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
You got me

Gwen (Shin Hye):
I got you

Gwen (Shin Hye) & Kevin (Yong Hwa):
A Perfect Harmony

(lights fade...)

Narrator: Like music, hearts do synch when they are meant to be. That... is destiny...serendipity. Kevin and Gwen are not only lovers. They are also... soulmates. Through music their hearts unite into a perfect harmony.

(Lights on. All casts went on stage. As a thank you for all the support they received for the school play, they had a mini concert for all the audiences.)

Our Hearts Harmony: Chapter 4 - Fourth Week (Falling In Love)


Narrator: Kevin audition to be part of Strings Harmony.


(A chair to the right, Yong Hwa enters and sits down. The rest of the stage is dim. He grabs his guitar and plucks some strings.)

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
I always thought you were the best 
I guess I always will. 
I always thought that we were blessed 
And I feel that way still. 
Sometimes we took the hard road 
But we always saw it through. 

If I had only one friend left 
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side 
Sometimes it wasn't fair. 
Sometimes it gave a helping hand 
Sometimes we didn't care.  

'Cause when we were together 
It made the dream come true. 

If I had only one friend left 
I'd want it to be you. 

Someone who understands me 
And knows me inside out. 
Helps keep me together 
And believes without a doubt, 
That I could move a mountain 
Someone to tell it to. 

If I had only one friend left 
I'd want it to be you.

(lights dim, then lights on to the other side of the stage)

Narrator: Rain came in the recording studio and met Gwen and Henry inside. The two bowed politely while greeting the president.

Rain (Jaejoong): I have selected the new member after a week of deliberation. Here he is (beckons the one in the dark to come in).

Gwen (Shin): (smiles and gushes) Kevin!!!!! (runs to him)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Gwen, so glad to see you again!

Rain (Jaejoong): This could be a reunion between you two. Congratulations!

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (faces Rain) Daedanhi kamsahamnida, Sajangnim.

Rain (Jaejoong): I want the three of you to perform impromptu. Right now.

Henry (Jong Hun): (not happy that Kevin and Gwen were together) Ne....

Kevin (Yong Hwa) & Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne!

(The three get to their places with their guitars. Henry looking at the two in jealousy, because the two look at each other)


Rain (Jaejoong): Impress me.

Gwen (Shin Hye): 
Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need it,
Pretending I was better off alone.
But I know that is just a lie.

Kevin (Yong Hwa):
So afraid to take a chance again;
So afraid of what I feel inside.

Kevin (Yong Hwa), Gwen (Shin Hye) & Henry on back vocals (Jong Hun):
But I need to be next to you. (Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you. (Share every breath with you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)

Rain (Jaejoong): (claps) I am impressed! Now, you need to start working today. (fists hands) Hwaiting!

Kevin (Yong Hwa), Gwen (Shin Hye), & Henry (Jong Hun): Hwaiting!

Narrator: Henry was often left at the corners with his guitar because Kevin and Gwen were busy catching up or even practicing notes. He saw Kevin as a threat, because of him being the lead guitarist and vocalist while he became the second lead guitarist even if he also loved playing the guitar. Kevin was a threat to him, to his ambitions to be frontman and his ambitions to win Gwen’s heart. During lunch time, after practices, Henry would often pull Gwen off and told Kevin to eat alone. But Kevin would pull his BFF and told Henry that since the three of them were in a group, they will eat together. Because of that, Henry would silently storm off the music room in anger. Gwen was still so dense, but Kevin realized that Henry liked Gwen, but since he was the newcomer, he thought he would silently give in.


Kevin (Yong Hwa): We...I mean... you should go to him.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Wae~~?

Kevin (Yong Hwa): He’s in a bad mood. You need to cheer him up.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Araso, Kevin...

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (sees her off) I’d back off so you’ll live better...

Narrator: Indeed, Kevin ate alone, and only got to see Gwen by the time practices resumed. After practices, Gwen stated that she wanted to visit her oppa, but she had no idea where the Kalm Down dorm is. Kevin knew where it was, and so does Henry, but Henry knew that Patrick was also a threat to him, so he volunteered to take her there. Kevin looked at Henry in half-resignation, and allowed Gwen to go with him. As Kevin walked away, Gwen looked at her BFF in sadness. 

Narrator: And so, Henry took Gwen to the dorm, where they met Ben, who was practicing his song on the balcony.

Ben (Taecyeon): Annyeong!

Henry (Jong Hun): Annyeonghaseyo!

Gwen (Shin Hye): Annyeong, Oppa!

Ben (Taecyeon): (smiles from ear to ear) Why so serious, my dear little sister? Did Henry eat you? Did he quarrel you?

Gwen (Shin Hye): (flustered) Aniyo, Oppa... Henry is very kind to me...

Ben (Taecyeon): (looks at Jonghun and jokes) Ya~~ we know that I-have-a-cute-smile-so-fall-for-me status of yours, but please do not lure my sister, araso?

Henry (Jonghun): Ne...Sunbaenim... (scratches head)

Ben (Taecyeon): Ah, please have dinner with us. Patrick is cooking some scrumptious food. (rubs belly) Yum yum!

Henry (Jonghun): Ah, kwaenchanhayo... Keureom, I’ll go now...

Ben (Taecyeon) & Gwen (Shin Hye): Annyeong....

(Jong Hun leaves)

Ben (Taecyeon): He likes you.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne?

Ben (Taecyeon): (looks at her weirdly) Aish...you think I am dumb? I am a guy. I know he likes you, and it is pretty obvious. Patrick Starfish likes you too.

Gwen (Shin Hye): I know about Patrick-oppa...but...

Ben (Taecyeon): (smiles) Aigooooooo...my yeodongsaeng is so dense.. But I know one secret of yours.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (confused) Mwo?

Ben (Taecyeon): You like Kevin. 

Gwen (Shin Hye): .... (blushes and shakes head)

Ben (Taecyeon): Ya~~~ I know about that. So stop denying. Why would you keep on talking about him since high school if you do not have a heart for him? 

Gwen (Shin Hye): O...Oppa... I like Kevin...

Ben (Taecyeon): Hehe, I got you to admit!

Gwen (Shin Hye): Keunde, Oppa... I am afraid to tell him how I feel for him... I am afraid of rejection...

Ben (Taecyeon): Ooooooh, my sister is in love! And afraid! Ya... I had told you of the many flings I used to have, and I got rejected anytime. Rejection is normal, but sad... And how come I never knew that you confessed to Patrick in middle school?

Gwen (Shin Hye): MWO????? Otoke????? (cringes)

Ben (Taecyeon): I never knew you liked Patrick until he told me secretly. Ah, you are a lucky girl. You have three guys! (Hugs her)

Gwen (Shin Hye): (frowns) Oppa!

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Annyeonghaseyo?

Ben (Taecyeon): (let go of the hug) Annyeong?

Gwen (Shin Hye): Annyeong, Kevin...

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Sorry for the interruption...

Ben (Taecyeon): Oh, no worries! So, Jimmy-hyung sent you a text to have dinner here? (Yong Hwa nods) Perfect! We can have someone to wash the dishes afterwards, ahahahahah.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Oppa, I’ll help him wash the dishes.

Ben (Taecyeon): Ahahaha, I am just kidding. Besides, it is impolite to let the guests do the household chores.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (cringes at him) Ne...

Ben (Taecyeon): Ah, yes, please get inside Gwen because Michael have something to say...and Kevin, can we to talk?

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Ne... Sunbae...

(Shin Hye exits)


Ben (Taecyeon): You like her, do you?

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (forced to admit) Is...Am I too obvious, Sunbaenim?

Ben (Taecyeon): (smiles) I prefer her to be with you than to be with other guys. 

Kevin (Yong Hwa): But..but she’d rather be with Henry.

Ben (Taecyeon): Chincha? I don’t know about that! Hmmm... Anyway, just go for her. Henry and I are friends, and so are Patrick and me. I only knew recently that she had confessed to Patrick in middle school.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Ne?

Jimmy (Siwon): (gets in the seen) Ahoy! Why so serious you two? And why is Gwen with Michael? (sees the expression of the two).

Ben (Taecyeon): Kevin likes my sister.

Jimmy (Siwon): Keurae? I am not surprised. And honestly, I know.

Ben (Taecyeon): You do?

Jimmy (Siwon): (looks around before going near to them) I know I should not be saying this, but I am suspicious of the way Patrick is dealing with Gwen.

Ben (Taecyeon): Ya, Hyung! Why do you have to harbor a lot of secrets? What is it that you know that I do not know?

Jimmy (Siwon): (beckons the two) I know that Patrick is only flirting with Gwen to get revenge.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): MWO???? (tries to storm in)

Jimmy (Siwon): Chill! (holds Yong Hwa's arm) I will tell you why, Ben. Eversince Sam and Kevin got to be partners, Sam had a thing for my little boy here. Of course, I know. And some little bird told me that she had been spreading some news that Kevin is her boo, and that was what Patrick knew. But of course, Kevin here only thought of her as a little sis, and when they separated in high school, Patrick had been very furious for the breakup without even knowing the real thing. And of course, when I see their interaction the first time I introduced the group to the trainees, I had a feeling that there must be something between him and Gwen. And during that time that Sam came to the studio to confront Gwen, I was about to come in when I heard Sam accused her of stealing Kevin away from her. I saw Patrick drag his sister out of the room and told her that he was only flirting with Gwen to get her attention away from Kevin. I was sorry to listen, but I heard him say to her to audition so that Sam could train at our academy and debut with Kevin one day.

Ben (Taecyeon): (amazed) Whoa! You are Sherlocke Holmes! Where were you when Michael stole my underwear?

Jimmy (Siwon): He did not steal it. (smirks) I did!

Ben (Taecyeon): (hits his groupmate) Babo! Babo!

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Keunde, Hyung... how are you dealing with Patrick-hyung now? Are...are you being distant with him?

Ben (Taecyeon): Of course not, coconut. I am still friends with him, but you need to protect Gwen from him. Protect him from breaking her heart. (does a hwaiting fist) And protect her heart from Henry also.

Jimmy (Siwon): Ohohoh, she is lucky indeed! She has Patrick, she has Henry, she has Kevin!

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (smiles sadly) I am afraid to love her even if I love her much. I don’t want our group to disband just because Henry and I love the same girl.

Jimmy (Siwon): Don’t worry, araso? Time will find a way for the two of you, and Henry has to deal with it.


(Lights off, then on. Wonbin with his guitar and Shin Hye on vocals singing "Falling In Love")


You and me, we got along just fine
But deep inside I know there is more
Right next to you
I know you're the right one
Can't fight this feeling, I'm taking chances now

In my heart I feel that this is something real
I don't wanna let this moment go

(CHORUS 1)
Why oh Why, Do I feel this way?
When I'm with you I feel so alive
Why oh Why, will I hide away
I can't help it
I'm FALLING IN LOVE with you

Never ending nights when I'm alone with you
A lifetime of dreams coming true
Nothing comes close to what we have right now
You're the only one that matters now
In my heart I feel that this is something real
I don't wanna let this moment go

(CHORUS 2)
What if I fall in love?
What if I make you mine?
I wanna know if you'll be there by my side

(CHORUS 3)
You and me, we got along just fine
But deep inside I know there

Our Hearts Harmony: Chapter 3 - Third Week (Because I Miss You)


(Recording studio scene)

Narrator: Kalm Down were in the recording studio. All the while, as Patrick was listening to Ben recording his part, he thought about the matter.


Patrick (Hyun Jin’s voice-over): Hmmm... What a small world. Kevin and Samantha in the same school in middle school. Then Gwen and me. Samantha and Kevin were lovers, but he broke up with her... And Gwen confessed to me back then, but I rejected her. Could it be that all along, without my knowledge and without Samantha’s knowledge, Kevin and Gwen had been dating after he and Sam broke up? I feel sorry for my little sister, and all I have to do as her oppa is to get revenge. It is my duty to seek revenge. And to do that, I will flirt with Gwen and steal her from Kevin to break his heart. That is what I should do!
Narrator: And so started Patrick’s plan of breaking the two apart. After practices (recording studio rolled out, president’s office in next scene), Patrick went to Rain’s office. Patrick can very well get to the president’s office because they were second-degree cousins, and Patrick only became a member of Kalm Down not because he had some great talent, just a strong connection. Rain listened to Patrick’s suggestion, and he readily agreed without knowing why.

(lights off, and lights on to see a classroom setting)

The next thing Gwen and Kevin knew during their training, Gwen was picked to be part of Strings Harmony, which is a duo, but she would be paired with another trainee.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ssaem (to Gyuri, who is teacher), Kevin...will not be my partner?

Music Teacher (Gyuri): (looks at list) Yes. (turns to Yong Hwa, who was disappointed) Kevin, the management wants you to train more. They are also contemplating on whether you should get surgery for your throat.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Sur...gery?

Other students: (groans and murmurs)

Music Teacher (Gyuri): (to Shin Hye) Your partner will be Henry Kang, who had been a trainee for two years now. If you want, you can approach Michael Park of Kalm Down to introduce you to him. They are best friends, you know.

Other students: Aww... Michael-oppa? Gwen is lucky!

Gwen (Shin Hye): N...ne...

Narrator: Gwen looked at the sad Kevin, who congratulated her for going to debut first. She felt sad for him because it had been their dream together to be a duo until they make it to the top.


(Roll out portable classroom setting, with some chairs on stage, music room style.)

Narrator: Gwen entered the music room to see Michael and another guy on the keyboard.


Gwen (Shin Hye): Annyeonghaseyo?

Michael (Won Bin): Annyeong? 

Henry (Jong Hun): Annyeonghaseyo? You must be Gwen Kim.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne... Pangapseumnida.

Henry (Jong Hun): I am Henry Kang. Michael and I are best buddies.

Narrator: Gwen sat beside Henry because Michael told her to.

Michael (Won Bin): (to Gwen) I had seen in your school profile that you also play the guitar.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne. A friend taught me how to play the guitar.

Michael (Won Bin): That is good. You can play the guitar and Henry does the keyboard while you both sing. However, he is also training on playing the guitar.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (turns to Jong Hun) Chongmalyo?

Henry (Jong Hun): (blushing) Ne...

Michael (Won Bin): Our Henry is a really talented chap! He can sing, play the keyboard, and soon the guitars... What else can he not do?

Henry (Jong Hun): To dance.

Michael (Won Bin): (laughs) Ahahah, of course, you are just like us, and we do not dance.

Narrator: The rest of Kalm Down came in, with Ben having a silly smile on his face.

Ben (Taecyeon): (To Jong Hun) Oi, Henry Kang, take care of my sister, araso? (To Gwen), Ya~~ you should really be careful of this Henry Kang. He is a girl-killer and when he gets his smooth moves on you, *whack* you will instantly fall for him!

Gwen (Shin Hye): You are so mean to me, Oppa!

Henry (Jong Hun): (to Shin Hye) That is not true. Ben-hyung is only joking.

Narrator: And she suddenly glanced accidentally at Patrick, who winked at her slyly.
Gwen (Shin Hye’s voice-over): What to do? Why is Patrick-oppa like this?
Narrator: From that day onwards, Gwen and Henry practiced every day. Because they got to be close, Henry fell in love with her even more. But his love for her was deeper than everyone thought.

(Actors acting the scene)

Narrator: However, Henry was often desperate and angry, most especially if Patrick would barge in the music room after practice sessions just to give them coffee, often giving the tastiest Irish latte to Gwen. Gwen felt uneasy but a bit flattered that the crush who rejected her before slowly opened up to her and was being caring.

Not to be outdone, Henry would take Gwen for a ride home, and even pick her up in the mornings for practice. For two years, Gwen would be in a tug-of-war, being hauled here and there by Henry and Patrick, who were vying for her attention. One was doing it for love, one for revenge. It was also difficult for Michael because of his connection with the two.

But all the while, Kevin, who was silently training for a chance to debut, was looking from the side but could not even get near Gwen to fight for what he had been feeling all along.

(setting: Shin Hye and Jong Hun on stage, only with mike, keyboard, and guitar as props, like in a school concert)


Song is “Goodbye, My Love” by 8Eight

Henry (Jong Hun):
I wonder if you’ll simply ask me why it’s a letter
When messages on mini homepages are more common
Firmly, I pick up my pen.. just in case I can’t convey my heart
I feel like I can’t do this any other way
It was really hard. When I loved you,
Nothing happened the way I wanted it to
I keep promising myself to stop bothering you
Even though I wait until death, you won’t come

Gwen (Shin Hye): 
Goodbye, my love. I’ll let you go now.
The remembrances and the memories, I’ll forget them all
I’ll erase and erase and empty out every drop of love
from my heart...

(lights out, lights on, office setting)

Narrator: After the concert, the duo was being called by Rain into his office. The two sat across the president, who looked at them in a stoic manner.


Rain (Jaejoong): I can say I am impressed with your duo, like Sandy and Junior, or even M2M... However... I feel something lacking.

Henry (Jong Hun): What is it?

Rain (Jaejoong): Do you think you need a little kick? Like some spice to enhance the flavor of food? You know? (points at Jong Hun) Since you have been practicing in playing the guitars, I guess we can make the melody of your songs more acoustic.

Henry (Jong Hun): Ne, but Sajangnim, is the keyboard compatible with guitars to make it acoustic? Or are we both going to play the guitar?

Rain (Jaejoong): Ne. You will both be playing the guitar. I will hold an audition for a guitarist, one who can also sing. That will be an advantage for you. The three of you sing, but two will be the main vocals (Gets in discussion mode) You, Henry, play the  guitar and be the back singer. We all know that your voice is really not yet that good to blend with Gwen, so for now you will be the back up first and later on we will see how it goes. Gwen will continue to be the lead vocalist and play the guitar. The third be the lead guitarist, if he or she is better than you and Gwen. At the same time he or she will be second vocalist will play the guitar and  He could be a rhythm guitarist and a lead guitarist. As you know, your group's name is "Strings Harmony" which means harmonious sound from an instrument with strings, and that is the guitar. I want your group to be the first one whose member all play one instrument. I want you show them that a good music with the use of guitar alone is enough to capture their hearts.

Narrator: Henry and Gwen looked at each other, then back at the president.

Gwen (Shin Hye) & Henry (Jong Hun): Ne...algesseumnida... (bow)

(lights off, then up, with bulletin board on stage)

Narrator: Jimmy passed by the campus bulletin board while whistling a tune.


Jimmy (Siwon): (turns) Hmmmm... Mwo? This is gonna be good! (snatches phone and dials. Then speaks) Kevin, I think I have found something that might bring your dreams to reality. Please meet me at...

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (walking towards Siwon) Hyung! I see you.

Jimmy (Siwon): I see you too! Hahaha (hangs up).

Kevin (Yong Hwa): What is it, Hyung?

Jimmy (Siwon): (points at the bulletin board) See?

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (reads) Audition? For a guitarist?

Jimmy (Siwon): Give it a shot. After all, I know you would rather be with Gwen. (smirks)

Kevin (Yong Hwa): (flustered)... Hyung!

Jimmy (Siwon): Aish, you think I was born yesterday...Aigoo... I know you have feelings for her. Stop feeling sorry, and do not think about letting go of things that are important to you. 

Kevin (Yong Hwa): I... I might not get the part.

Jimmy (Siwon): So? At least you tried. Ya~~~, do not be like Samantha, huh? She was bitter and could not get over you even if you cared for her as a sister. And what is she doing now? She is not even chasing after her dream to be a singer because of her bitterness. I don’t know if she just might regret it. So stop hesitating and join! You might get it.

Kevin (Yong Hwa): Ne... 

Narrator: Yong Hwa continued reading the mechanics of the audition, and decided to give it a try.

(out with the bulletin board, in with the music room setup)

Narrator: Meanwhile, Henry was out when Patrick came in, holding two cups of Irish latte. Gwen was busy practicing some songs on the keyboard to even notice.

Patrick (Hyun Jin): Annyeong?

Gwen (Shin Hye): (turns) Patrick-oppa! Annyeonghaseyo?

Patrick (Hyun Jin): (hands a cup to her) Sooooo, how are practices? 

Gwen (Shin Hye): Fine, Oppa. I’m getting good at arranging songs... It used to be Kevin doing it for us.

Patrick (Hyun Jin): Keurae? He must be that talented.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne....

Patrick (Hyun Jin): I wonder why he was not taken in?

Narrator: But in reality, it was all instigated by Patrick.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Mollayo...

Patrick (Hyun Jin): Do you want to go eat lunch with me?

Gwen (Shin Hye): Oppa...I...

Samantha (Hara): Oppa!

Patrick (Hyun Jin): (turns with Shin Hye, sees a frown on Hara’s face) What is my little sister doing here?

Samantha (Hara): Why are you hanging out with Gwen-unni? I don’t want you to be hanging out with someone who stole my boyfriend from me!

Gwen (Shin Hye): (scoffs) Stole who from who? Ya!

Samantha (Hara): (crosses arms) You heard it right, Unni. Because of you, Kevin-oppa left me. Because of you, we are no longer a duo.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (scoffs) Aigoo... Look at this kid. Do you really think I stole Kevin from you? Was I there when he told you that he will not be partners with you? Why? I only met him in high school!

Samantha (Hara): Tsh... Liar! You must have been meeting him in middle school!

Gwen (Shin Hye): Middle school? I never even knew you and Kevin attended the same school to start with!

Narrator: But Patrick was tired, so he apologized to Gwen and pulled his sister out of the room. Samantha was wriggling when he explained to her in secret what he was trying to do: he was only flirting and trying to win Gwen’s attention and steal her away from Kevin, so Kevin could go back to Samantha. The bratty girl smiled and punched her oppa in the arm, thanking him for being a genius. But Patrick did not tell his sister that part of his plan to pull Kevin and Gwen apart was for Gwen to debut with another partner. He told her to audition at JJH so that she could also be a trainee with a chance to debut with Kevin in the future. He was not aware that Rain had other plans.

(the siblings exit, in came Jong Hun)

Henry (Jong Hun): Gwen? Let’s go eat.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Ne... Uh, Henry-oppa, can...can we just buy and eat here?

Henry (Jong Hun): Wae? I’d treat you to a fancy restaurant today.

Gwen (Shin Hye): Uh...chincha? Araso... I was not in the mood to eat, but when you said you’d treat me, I was alive!

Henry (Jong Hun): (pulls her close for a hug) Of course, because I will do things for you.

Gwen (Shin Hye): (pushes him gently) Oppa... Why are you being like this?

Henry (Jong Hun): Just let me...

Gwen (Shin Hye): Huh? Oh... araso...
Henry (Jong Hun’s voice-over): I am opening up my heart to you. I hope you’ll open up for me too.
Narrator: They did not know that Ben saw it all. So it was true. The things that Patrick complained about were true. Ben likes Henry too, but he felt that his sister would rather be with Kevin.


(Lights off, then on focus on Yong Hwa with his guitar to sing "Because I Miss You")


Always under exactly the same sky, always exactly the same day
Other than your not being here, there’s nothing different at all

I just want to smile, want to forget everything
Just like absolutely nothing has happened, smiling to live my days
Miss you, miss you so much, because I miss you so much
Everyday all by myself, calling and calling you

Want to see you, want to see you, because I want to see you so much
Now it’s like I have this habit, keep calling out your name
It’s the same today

I thought I’d let go, not leaving anything behind
No, no, now I still can’t let you go
Miss you, miss you so much, because I miss you so much
Everyday all by myself, calling and calling you

Want to see you, want to see you, because I want to see you so much
Now it’s like I have this habit, keep calling out your name
It’s the same today

Everyday, everyday, it feels like I’m gonna die, what should I do?

Love you, love you, I love you
I hadn’t even spoken the words, I just let you go

Sorry, sorry, do you hear my words
My late confession, can you hear it
I love you
