Rachel smiled as she pulled out the guitar and watched Mike quickly hale a cab and drive away. She walked up to the driver "Hey, I'll stay in the plaza for a little bit. Here some moment to go get yourself something to eat or coffee. The rest is yours and think of it as a tip" She winked.
As he was handed the money it didn't really register until she left when he realized he was given about fifty dollars in Solul.
After setting herself up by the fountain she started playing her song.
"They tell you a good girl is quiet. And that you should never ask why
Cause it only makes it harder to fit in. And you should be happy, excited
Even if you're just invited. Cause the winners need someone to clap for them"
Although the song originated in the English language is sounded just as good if not better and produced twice the amount of impact. Coupled with Rachel excellent vocals and an altered tone to boost to fit her tone. It turned heads the moment she started singing.
After it ended she was face with a round of applause as a headache hit her but it was light. And a sudden flash of memories hit her but she was able to grasps it.
[A rebirth occurred]
'Is that what that was?'
[Yes, although this one was an unexpected one, it may have been a glitch or something. What flashed should have been events that occurred before rebirth. You are seeing that lost future due to rebirth.]
"is it related to any of the stories"
[No, these two where prepared this one was not]
"….."
"Hey, that was really good can you sing some more" said a youth holding a women hand. They looked like lovebirds on a date.
Rachel smiled but then froze when she got a closer look at the young man, this was Z city. "Ye-Jun?"
The boy dropped his smiled to realized something "Nana" he breathed out and went pale, he looked like he wanted to run away.
"What wrong asked the women who was next to him in a worried tone."
"Well, to put it quiet simply I'm his older sister" Rachel said as her shoulder dropped.
"Really?"
"But I ran away from home when I was fourteen he was only nine at the time." She looked at this younger brother of her. It said it all, that he didn't want to think about the atrocity his family commented.
The women looked at her pale and frighten boyfriend thinking is was weird as to way he was this nervous.
"Don't pressure him" Rachel said to the women softly, as she gave her a strange look "Our situation isn't something a normal person can take in. So please, give him some time to tell you slowly."
After gazing at the women face for a moment, she returned to look at Ye-Jun. "Ye-Jun I plan to take our parents and older brother to court."
Ye-Jun looked up at her finally with a shocked expression, his girlfriend was also shocked and looked between the two.
"It's going to be uncomfortable, but, It's our family's dirty laundry. I'm not asking you to patriciate. I'm just telling so you won't be taken by surprise. I'll also be looking for Min-Joo"
"Why do you?"
"Why, isn't it obvious? Because things need to change. Ye-Jun you where to young to have an opinion or do anything. I don't blame you for those things, you weren't responsible, so don't place guilt yourself.
But for me, I am making a choice so that happened won't happen to another little girl out there. You may have only seen it in our family, but I have no doubt the things our family did is also being done in other families.
So I want to make a change and the only way to do that is to shock the country with something that will make them address a real problem they. I cant do nothing about the past But I can certainly do so about the future." Rachel pulled out her card and gave it to her younger brother's girlfriend because he was unresponsive and looked like he was about to cry.
His girlfriend by the way was extremely worried and wanted to know what was wrong to make her strong before likes.
"If he wants to talk, he can call me." Rachel said as she sat back down and started strumming her guitar. Playing another son.
"You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say. I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet. You shoot me down, but I get up.
I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium
I am titanium"
It was always a powerful song but filled with high levels of emotion and a guitar solo. It sound like a song full of someone in pain trying to cheer themselves up. The Song once again attracted attention this time with a crowd bigger then before.
Ye-Jun and his girlfriend had stepped away but turned around to listen to her song as if in a trance and completely entrapped by the song. Just like the crowd, everyone was reminded of their hardest time.
Rachel still continues to sing even after that as she played another song.
"She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits. She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor. Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it. Maybe we have made her blind. So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
Cause cover girls don't cry after their face is made
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark. You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart. No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart.
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful"
She heard the claps at the end as she packed up some wanted her to continue playing and voiced it out but where unable to get her to keep playing. As she walked back to the driver who saw her come back as he got back into the car. When she put the car into her trunk, she had told him to take off before reporters come.
Just like she suspected reporter did come by the time she got there but they where two late as she had already left. Some people where able to take picture with the new tech Phones they had but where unable to get a clear picture. All reporters could was about a young women who rallied up a very large crowd with a beautiful and powerful voice that couldn't be ignored.
Rachel had the driver drive around the area so that she could stay in her thoughts when she got this feeling of Déjà vu.
"Sir, turn right here"
The man nodded un wonder as he did what she said and walked into what looked like complex of apartments. She realized she was a tab bit far from the city she stepped out of the car.
Why she wasn't sure but she felt like she needed to, this time she was very close to the complex. Suddenly she heard something crack from above making her look up. She something someone falling above and by instant she caught the young girl.
Rachel was surprised as her heart sped up a little bit. Getting a good look at the young she she panicked and ran to her driver.
"We need to get this girl to a hospital"
