Next Day

Venice
.....
Venice: So I finally picked a song.
Monica: Okay Charlie is already over there and he set up the camera's.
Leon was calling me.
Venice: I'm just gonna send him to voicemail.
Monica: You two fighting?
Venice: He just thought I shouldn't be alone with Jin.
Monica: Well it is kind of intimate.
Venice: Come on stop. We are just really good friends.
Monica: Alright haha well good luck with your date.
Venice: Ha ha....you're very funny. Enjoy your date.
Monica: Thanks.
I drove to the studio and met up with Jin.
…
Jin
…
Venice: Hi Jin!!!
Jin: Hello you ready?
Venice: Let's do this.
Jin: Did Leon not want to come?
Venice: Actually me and him have been kind of arguing a lot.
Jin: Oh...wanna tell me about it?
Venice: Actually do you mind if we just sang instead?
Jin: Come on...can't sing when you have something on your mind. It's best to sing when you feel like it.
Venice: Trust me I feel like singing.
Jin: Very well then. Did you pick a song?
Venice: Actually I did!
Jin: What's the song?
Venice: 10,000 hours by Dan and Shay.
Jin: Ohhh great choice. Well then let's begin.
Venice: I'm pumped!
Jin: Okay so we are going to record in the booth first.
Venice: Got it!
Song:
Venice:
Do you love the rain? Does it make you dance
When you're drunk with your friends at a party?
What's your favorite song, does it make you smile?
Do you think of me?
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreaming'?
Everything, I wanna know it all
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
Jin:
Do you miss the road that you grew up on?
Did you get your middle name from your grandma?
When you think about your forever now, do you think of me?
When you close your eyes, tell me, what are you dreaming'?
Everything, I wanna know it all
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, want the good and the bad and everything in between
Ooh, got to cure my curiosity
Ooh, yeah
Jin and Venice:
I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more
Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours (sweet heart of yours)
And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try
If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm gonna love you (ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah
And I
Do you love the rain, does it make you dance?
I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you.
At this moment I knew Venice was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Jin: How was that?
Venice: That was amazing!! You're so talented!
Jin: You are as well. We really should do this more often.
Venice: Yeah we really should.
Later on we both edited and were planning to upload it on our channels.
We heard knocking and Leon came.
Venice: Hi babe.
Leon: Sup guys.
Jin: How have you been?
Leon: I'm okay. Hey can I talk to Venice alone?
Jin: Yeah sure.
I walked out of the room.
Leon: So...
Venice: So what?
Leon: Why haven't you picked up my call?
Venice: You know why...
Leon: I already told you not to hangout with him alone.
Venice: Why not huh!? He's one of my closest friends!
Leon: Because I'm afraid he will steal you from me.
Venice: Listen. Jin doesn't love me and he can never steal me from you. Jin is a friend and nothing more than a friend.
I was around the corner listening.
Leon: I'm sorry I've been so pushy but I just can't believe I ended up with a girl like you.
Venice: Thanks for understanding. Now I'm gonna finish up then we can have a nice dinner.
Leon left.
I came back into the room.
Jin: Hey umm Venice let's wrap up soon okay?
Venice: Oh...okay.
Jin: I'm just gonna edit the video so... go enjoy some time with Leon.
Venice: Oh well thanks!
She came and hugged me.
Venice: We should definitely do this again.
She left.
That's when I realized that she will never be my girl.

December
…
Monica
…..
Me and Charlie went to a movie theater.
Monica: Heh I was thinking since we all did thanksgiving together I was hoping we could all do Christmas together again.
Charlie: That sounds nice. Well what are you thinking we should do?
Monica: They are throwing a fun dinner and dance at the park so I was hoping we could go.
Charlie: Sounds great.
Monica: Also we should do a secret Santa.
Charlie: Okay let's invite people to the place.
Monica: Alright.
…
Jin
…..
Taylor: Thanks for inviting us for a drink.
Lee: Yeah it's nice to get out of the house.
Jin: So what's the plan for Christmas?
Monica: Well actually I was hoping we could go to the park.
Venice: Oh yeah I heard they were doing something for the park.
Taylor: Yeah sounds fun lets go Lee!
Lee: Okay yeah lets do it!
Monica: Not only that I wanted to try a secret santa.
Jin: What's that?
Venice: You don't know what's Santa's secret?
Lee: Yeah I've never heard of that either.
Taylor: What!?
Jin: Well we grew up with just us two together so we never really took Christmas seriously.
Charlie: Geez that kind of sucks. Well Secret Santa is when each of us gets assigned to one of us and we give them a gift.
Venice: But we don't tell the person that we are giving them a gift until Christmas day.
Jin: Sounds fun. Lets try it.
Lee: So how do we decide who gets who?
Monica: We could just put our names in a cup and we draw.
We heard knocking.
Monica: Come in!
Leon: Hi everyone!
Venice: Hi babe!
Lee: Sup man.
Leon: Hey good to see you.
Jin: Hi Leon.
Leon: Sup.
Monica: So Leon we were planning to do Secret Santa you want in?
Leon: Sure. I haven't done one since highschool.
Charlie: Okay here is the cup with our names.
Everyone drew a name.
Venice: This is gonna be so fun!
Monica: Alright everyone we have a week to find a present.
......
Taylor
......
Taylor: Okay let's do this.
Venice: Who did you get?
Taylor: I can't tell you hahaha!
Venice: Fine. Hahaha.
Taylor: So what are you going to do?
Venice: I'm running out of ideas.
Taylor: And we are running out of time.
Venice: Okay well I'm gonna order something online.
Taylor: Hmmm...
Monica and Charlie came.
Taylor: Hi Monica and Charlie!
Charlie: Hi guys.
Monica: So you guys came to the mall as well.
Taylor: Yeah I already know what to get!
Monica: That's great! Hey where's my sister?
Taylor: She went to the food court.
Monica: Okay I'm gonna go talk to her.
Monica left.
Charlie: That's so great, who does have a secret Santa?
Taylor: I need help!
Charlie: Geez what wrong!?
Taylor: I got your girlfriend and I don't know what she likes.
Charlie: Okay relax we got time.
Taylor: So??? What does she like?
Charlie: She's really into camera's and not only that anime. She is also really into movies. Like really into movies.
Taylor: What kind of movies?
Charlie: She's a huge fan of a ton of stuff. But she really enjoys anything about Marvel or superheroes.
Taylor: Really? Didn't think she liked those kinds of movies.
Charlie: She's a huge fan.
Taylor: Thanks I was panicking hehe. How are you doing?
Charlie: I'm doing okay.
Taylor: Do you know what you're gonna get for your secret Santa?
Charlie: I have an idea.
......
Leon
......
I went to the store with Jin.
Leon: Reason why I invited you with me is because I have Lee as my secret Santa. I was hoping you would tell me more about him.
Jin: Oh..yeah sure. Well he enjoys football a lot.
Leon: Oh my god I didn't know that. I love football as well.
Jin: His favorite team is the patriots so...
Leon: Good to know.
Jin: It's good you're here too because I wanna ask you something.
Leon: Sure go ahead.
Jin: I got Venice and I could use your help.
Leon: Wait really?
Jin: You seemed surprised?
Leon: Well you two have been friends for awhile now I would think that you would already know what to get her.
Jin: Yeah but you're her boyfriend so I reckon I take advice from you.
Leon: Oh.... well then...Oh I know she loves ed Sheeran.
Jin: See I didn't know that thanks.
Leon: No problem.
Jin: Hey I just wanted to say thanks.
Leon: For what?
Jin: Not being some overprotective guy.
Leon: Of course. I mean to be honest at first it bothered me but thanks to you she has a friend she can hangout with.
......
Lee
......
Lee: Okay so we've got 1 day left. I have no idea what I'm gonna get Taylor. We've been together for a year already.
Someone was knocking.
Lee: Jin?
Jin came in.
Lee: Whatsupp want a drink?
Jin: Oh yeah sure.
He was looking at his phone and I can tell something was wrong.
Lee: Who was that?
Jin: Um..it's what I wanted to tell you.
Lee: Come on let's talk.
Jin and I sat down.
Lee: What's up?
Jin: I got this call and because of my volleyball videos on YouTube I was asked to be a captain of a volleyball club in Las Vegas.
Lee: Woah...so what did you say?
Jin: Told them I will think about it.
Lee: Well it's a great opportunity. Isn't this your dream?
Jin: I always wanted to pursue a career in volleyball but....
Lee: But you don't want to do it.
Jin: Yeah....
Lee: I know it's hard to move from a comfortable place.
Jin: Anyway so who do you get?
Lee: Well I got Taylor.
Jin: Dang lucky.
Lee: I know I'm planning on getting her this.
I showed Jin and I got her a necklace.
Jin: Damn!!! What the hell?
Lee: It's from her favorite movie.
Jin: Well see you tomorrow at the park.
Lee: Hey about the volleyball thing.
Jin: Yeah?
Lee: I would do it.

Venice
......
Everyone was chatting around the table.
Monica: Guys this Christmas was a huge success!
Lee: I agree!
Charlie: We should do this more often!
Everyone: Agreed!
Lee: This has been very fun.
Venice: So any plans for the new year?
Lee: Oh yeah Jin's new job.
Charlie: What?
Venice: He has a new job?
We heard from the stage an announcer was giving an announcement.
Announcer: Everyone, we have one more performance before Christmas night is over.
We saw Jin arrive with a guitar.
Jin: Merry Christmas Venice from your secret Santa!
Jin:
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to her
'Cause she's just under the upper-hand
And goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in a pipe, she'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to fly
Angels to fly, mm
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed and dry throat
Call girl, no phone
They say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause she's just under the upper-hand
And goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in the pipe, she'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to fly
Now an angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyes and hoping for a better life
This time, now we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
Just straight down the line, oh, mm
Now they say
She's in the class A Team
She's stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
When we're all under the upper-hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
'Cause in the pipe we'll fly to the motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
Angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die
Everyone was cheering and I felt happy but I kept thinking what Lee said.
Jin got off stage and walked towards us.
Jin: So what did you guys thank?
Lee: Good job little bro!
Monica: Very talented!!
Charlie: Good job man!
Leon: That was an amazing man right Venice?
Jin: What did you think?
I felt so happy but....
Venice: Hey Lee was talking to us about a new job.
Jin: You told them?
Lee: You haven't?
Jin: No. I didn't.
Monica: New job?
Jin: Listen I got offered to coach a volleyball club in Vegas.
Taylor: wow.
Charlie: That's amazing.
Monica: What did you say?
Jin: I said I was gonna think about it.
Venice: What?
Jin: Is that a bad thing?
Venice: Yeah...what about us?
Jin: I appreciated everything that you guys have done for me but....
Venice: But what!? You gonna move and just forget us!
Monica: Venice!
Leon: Babe calm down.
Taylor: Maybe we should leave.
Venice: No! I can't believe your actually gonna do this. What about your brother!?, Charlie, Monica, me....
Jin: I said I was just thinking about it!
I was so mad I stormed off.
Monica: Venice!
Monica and Leon chased after me.
Lee: I'm so sorry bro.
Jin: Its okay...
Charlie: Wanna come back to the house?
Jin: no...im gonna head home.
Taylor: You sure?
Jin: yeah....merry Christmas.
