TIMY: Chapter 3

Michael’s POV

After I arrived home, I went straight to my room and took a shower. After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went to my mini studio.

I sit down on the swivel chair and get my phone to call Min.

“Hello Michael?” he said as he answered my call.

“Hyung where are you?” I asked him.

“I'm here in the company, father dragged me here” he said.

I slightly laughed at him. How he hates to be there but well he has no other choice.

“I was about to ask you if you're available, there’s someone who contacted me earlier, he’s a bar manager. He’s asking me if our band could perform tomorrow night. I was planning to have a band practice for our performance” I said to him.

“Sure, business is almost done so I’ll be there. Did you call the others?” he replied.

“Not yet hyung, I will call them after this call” i said.

“Okay, I have to go. See you later.Bye!” he ended the call.

Damn this guy he didn’t even let me talk he just ended it like that.

After calling him, I called the others and gladly everyone is available or should say everyone made themselves available.

While waiting for them, I arranged and prepared the studio. I also checked every instrument and I also checked the microphones. I do some sound checking to check if everything works good.

After one hour they arrived one by one until we were complete.

“Guys suggest some songs for our line up” I said to them.

“Is there any time limit he gave to us?” Jin asked me.

Jin is our keyboardist.

“Yea, half hour” I answered him.

“So it means we need at least 6 or 7 songs” hyung Min said.

Min is our main vocalist.

“What if we made it 7 exactly?” Bumi said.

Bumi is our drummer.

“Okay, 7 then” I said to them.

“So, any song suggestions?” I asked them

“What if this time we choose sweet love songs?” Jae Woon said dreamily.

Jae Woon is our bassist.

“Ouchh!” Jae Woon suddenly screamed, we all looked at him, we saw him rubbing his nape.

“Stop dreaming Jae! As if someone will like an ugly monkey like you!” said Il Woon said after he hit him. Il Woon is our electric guitarist.

This two is starting again. I don’t really understand why everytime they see each other they always bicker like a cat and dog.

“Me an ugly monkey huh? Look at yourself in the mirror, you look like a gorilla or should I King Kong!” Jae said to him.

We all just laughed at them.

“Jae, Wooni, stop it. We need to start planning and practicing. Try to get along with each other. Damn it’s already been 4 years since you know each other but the two of you are still fighting like a dog and a cat” I said to them stopping them before things get out of control.

“Sorry hyung” they said in unison and they both glared at each other.

Damn these two are giving me a headache.

“Okay, first song suggestion?” I asked them.

“For me Beauty and A beat” Jin said.

“Okay next?” I said as I wrote the title on the paper.

“A thousand miles” hyung Min said.

Jae- “Tonight”

Wooni, “Vanilla Twilight”

Bumi, “Fireflies”

“Shooting Star” I also suggested.

“Okay one more song” Min said.

“The scientist” I said again.

“Okay let’s start” Min said.

After almost 5 hours of practice we finally finished arranging the songs. Min and me will alternatively take the lead so we will not strain our vocal chords.

“Guys semester break is almost near. What’s our plan this time?” Jin asked us.

Every semester breaks, it’s been a tradition of our band to travel. We had visited many countries and cities for the past 3 years. This year for sure they will find another country that we never visited yet.

“How about this time we visit the Philippines? I saw a blog about the country and the blogger showed many beautiful tourist attractions there.” Bumi said.

“Nice idea. So what do you say guys?” Min asked us.

Everyone agreed on it. So this time the country is the Philippines, I’ll try to search about it later.

“So guys everything is settled then. Tomorrow don’t forget the time and the place okay? See guys tomorrow and good luck!” I said to them.

Everyone packed their thing and bid goodbye.

I checked around the studio if every socket is unplugged. I switched off the lights and went outside of the studio and closed the door.

I went back to my room and laid back on the bed and drifted off to sleep with the thought of hope that our performance tomorrow will end smoothly.
