"~Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song~"
We blasted the song in the car, singing like maniacs and earning looks from the passing cars.
"~ Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song~"
We were off pitch and sounded horrible, but it gave us charm. Oli turns onto her street and goes to park in her driveway.
"It's a good thing I brought clothes—"
"Oh-ho, no babe," Oli says turning off the ignition. "I'm styling you tonight!" She finished with a mischievous grin plastered on her face.
"Oli... I refuse to put on anything that I could possibly be naked with one wrong move..." I lecture, knowing her usual clothing choices for clubs. "I actually brought something I think you'd like." I offered, hoping she'd ease up a bit.
"Mmmm," She hums. "Don't worry, I won't be unreasonable." She rushes into her home leaving me groaning and stomping my way after her.
Oli ended up putting me in a tight, red dress that ended just below mid-thigh. It hugged my semi-hourglass figure and was adorned with her favorite knee-high heeled black boots. I had to say, I looked hot. I've always admired Oli's sense of style but never had the guts to wear it. I was thankful she didn't put me in something worse.
After checking myself once more, I move away from the hanging mirror. "Oli? Are you ready?" I knock on her bathroom door.
"Yeah, one sec..." She yells. I walk back into her room and grab my phone from my purse.

As I played the video, Oli came out of the bathroom.
"Whatcha watchin'," She asked, laughing at the sounds coming from my phone. She looks at me through the mirror on her wall, waiting for my response.
"My friend Taehyung," I say in between laughs. "Since I couldn't do karaoke with them, I asked him to record it for me." Best decision ever.
She comes over and sits next to me on her bed, leaning over my shoulder to watch as well. "Which one is he? Your friend..."
"Rainbow fro, rectangle smile," I smile at his silliness.
"Awe he's cute." She nudges me. "Wow, they're all cute."
"This is my first time seeing them all. I've seen Tae but not any of his friends. I'm guessing they're his roommates...?" I laugh when I see Tae bouncing around and excessively dabbing to New Face.
We continue laughing and watching the video, and when Tae says "Eyyy we want some new face!!" I say it with him.
"He has so much energy," I laugh.
"Sure looks like it," She agrees as he throws his wig off. Once the video ends I text him back.

Oli looks down at the phone and sighs, "You're gonna have to teach me hangul. I can't read anything y'all are saying..."
"I'll teach you," I laugh to her.

"Alright, let's go," I say smiling. Oli gives me a knowing look, which I brush off, and we leave the house.

"Yo!!!!" A voice came from the other line, one that sounded nothing like Leah. The camera shakes, "Leah you need to loosen up!" She shouts.
"I- Hello?" I call out.
"Heyy!!" The camera faces a girl and she yells into the phone.
"Where's Leah?" I ask.
She giggles. "Your voice is pretty, hehe so is your face..."
"Huh?"
"Leah's got a nice friend... Are you her boyfriend?" She tilts her head.
"Boyfriend? Uh no..." I say not completely understanding the meaning of the English word.
"미안해 (sorry)," She says, suddenly switching to Korean. "I don't know much Korean, Leah hasn't taught me a lot yet." We're both quiet, the only thing heard is the blaring music of the club.
"Where is Leah?" I ask her again, this time in English.
She flips the camera, "Being boring!"
Leah sits in a lounge section, swirling the drink in her hand, looking graceful yet bored as ever.
"Ugh," The girl says. "What is up with her? She's normally dancing her ass off." The camera flips again, while in motion.
"Leah..."
"Hm?" Leah says, a bit absently. "Oh, did you call who you needed to?"
"What? Oh yeah! But—why aren't you dancing?"
"I was waiting for you dumb-dumb..."
"Oh haha," The girl says. "Well, that's where I'll be!" Then I'm greeted with Leah's face.
"Liora?"
"Taehyung...?" Leah looks down at the screen, startled by the sound coming from it. "How--Did Oli call you?"
"If you mean that drunk girl from earlier, then yes Oli called me," I chuckled.
"I'm sorry about her," She softly chuckled.
"Oh no, I find her rather hilarious."
"You weren't busy, were you? When she called...?" She asked.
"Nope, today was an off day," I said smiling at the camera. To which she smiles back, the kind of smile that makes your heart skip. One that solidified those unknown feelings.
"Well, I'm glad she called," She said looking off to the side.
"Me too."
