I heard Angelita talking, she seemed to notice that I was listening, when she smiled.
"BTS is on tour, and one of their destinations is here, in Los Angeles!" Angelita told us, I smiled.
"Well, when are they coming?" I asked, actually interested.
"Tonight, and the concert is tomorrow night," Angelita said, "I can't wait, they say, there's going to be a fan sign tomorrow, after the concert." I almost squealed! A BTS concert, in L.A! OMG! Cry sighed. It was almost pool time, but none of us really cared. I began to sing Stand Out Fit In, by ONE OK ROCK.
"I know they don't like me that much
Guess that I don't dress how they want
I just wanna be myself, I can't be someone else
Try to colour inside their lines
Try to live a life by design
I just wanna be myself, I can't be someone else
Someone else
They yell, they preach
I've heard it all before
Be this, be that
I've heard it before
Heard it before
Big boys don't cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out fit in
Good girls don't fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
同じことの繰り返しで
飽き飽きしている日々
ただ自分らしくありたい
ありのままで
Can't be someone else
They yell, they preach
I've heard it all before
Be this, be that
I've heard it before
Heard it before
Big boys don't cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out fit in
Good girls don't fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
I am who I am
No matter what
Never changing
No matter what
No matter what
Big boys don't cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out fit in
Good girls don't fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out fit in
Big boys don't cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out fit in
Good girls don't fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in." I sung. Cry, and Angelita looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"We had no idea you could sing in Japanese." Cry told me.
"I'm Korean, what's the difference?" I asked, "the languages sound the same to me."
"I mean, there's not much of a difference." Angelita answered my question, then Cry and I had sung Strawberry Shortcake by Melanie Martinez.
"Feeling unsure of my naked body
Stand back, watch it taking shape
Wondering why I don't look like Barbie
They say boys like girls with a tiny waist
Now, my mama's preaching to make sure I'm pure
But, I never really cared about that sh*t before
Look around the room to whoever wants me
Got boys acting like they ain't seen skin before
Got sent home to change 'cause my skirt is too short
It's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
That's my bad, that's my bad, no one taught them not to grab
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
Gotta make sure that my legs are shiny
Hot wax melting, burn my skin
People all around me watching closely
'Cause it's how I look and not what I think
Mikey's eyes seem to be glued to her chest
So, I'm stuffing my bra so that mine look the best
It's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
That's my bad, that's my bad, no one taught them not to grab
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
Instead of making me feel bad for the body I got
Just teach him to keep it in his pants and tell him to stop
Sayin' it's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
That's my bad, that's my bad, no one taught them not to grab
Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake." Cry, and I sung. Kelly laughed.
"Indy, you look like a cow." Kelly remarked, laughing. I ran outside, to the courtyard, crying, I began to sing, Jamais Vu, by my brother's group BTS.
"또 져버린 같아
화가 보여
아른대는 game over, over, over
만약 게임이라면
load하면 되겠지만
I guess I gotta deal with this, deal with this
Real world
Ay, uh
차라리 게임이면 좋겠지
너무 아프니까
I need to heal my medic
But I'm another star
완벽하지 못했던 나를 탓해
Brake in my head, brake in my step, always
그저 잘하고 싶었고
웃게 해주고 싶었는데
Please give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야
살려줘 다시 기회를
Please give me a
A remedy, a melody
오직 내게만 남겨질 memory
이쯤에서 그만하면
꺼버리면 모든 편해질까
괜찮지만 괜찮지 않아
익숙하다고 혼잣말했지만
처음인 것처럼 아파
부족한 gamer, 맞아 control 못하지
계속 아파 'cause 시행착오와 오만 가지
노래 가사, 몸짓 하나
한마디 미시감에 무서워지고
도망가려
But 잡네, 그래도 네가
그림자는 커져가도 삶과 equal sign
So remedy your remedy
Please give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야
살려줘 다시 기회를
Please give me a
다시 뛰고, 넘어지고
(Honestly)
수없이 반복된대도
거라고
So give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야
살려줘 다시 기회를
Please give me a remedy (성공인가, 돌아왔어)
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 remedy (집중해서 네게 닿고 말겠어 떨어지고, 넘어지고)
이제 어떻게 해야 (익숙한 아픔이 똑같이 덮쳐)
살려줘 (이번에도 쉽지 않아)
다시 기회를 (관둘 거냐고? No, no never)
I won't give up." I sung, crying. Cry, and Angelita ran outside, to me, with a bit of news.
    "Kelly got sent to Leo's office." Cry told me, I forgot the principal got replaced by his son, Leo.
