Chapter 143 - 143: Best Part
After that, the students presented their presentations for the campus Emperor and Empress.
Kim Eunji had a good time watching them. She even asked for her Leica so she could take photos of them performing.
Nathan smiled as he looked at his wife who was smiling from ear to ear while taking their photos.
She even left her seat and took a comfortable position to take photos at her heart's content.
Seeing that her EL persona had taken over, Nathan could only shook his head and followed her. She was squatting on the floor not minding if what she was doing would ruin her gown.
"Are you having fun?" Nathan placed his arm and wrapped around her tummy as he joined her on the floor.
"What are you doing?" Though she was not directly looking at him, Kim Eunji could see through his peripheral vision what he was doing.
"I can't help it. The empress left the poor emperor alone and sad. The emperor thinks that he should be where his empress is."
His reasoning was quite silly but it had a much a deeper meaning for Nathan.
"I'm sorry. I'll wrap this up, okay?" Kim Eunji even gave him a quick peck on the lips but Nathan had other plans as he grabbed her nape and smashed her lips.
Kim Eunji who was caught off-guard didn't show any resistance and in fact she let herself to melt on his kiss.
Nathan who still had an ounce of self-control remaining on his body managed to let go of her and leaned his forehead on hers.
With the number of times that they had kissed tonight, it was a miracle that he lips didn't become fluffy.
While everyone's eyes were all on the front watching the presentations especially prepared for the newlyweds by the students Nathan's eyes were glued on Kim Eunji the entire time.
So those who tried to seduce Nathan during their performance failed miserably.
When Kim Eunji's performance was close, she felt the nerves all of a sudden.
She was hoping that Nathan would love her performance.
She didn't mind what others would say, what she only mind was his opinion.
Hua Zhang Wei decided to let the next group of performers to wait for a bit to give way for the bouquet and garter tossing event.
The two didn't mind on who would catch them so they tossed them with no pattern.
Surprisingly the one who caught the bouquet was Rin and the one who caught the garter was Kim Jeong Ho.
Everyone cheered them while Kim Eunji and Nathan were hugging.
The next thing they did was their cake cutting.
Nathan and Kim Eunji sliced their wedding cake together and lovingly fed each other at the same time.
Seeing this sweet gesture, the audience got carried away and hit their glasses with their forks as they wanted Nathan and Kim Eunji to kiss.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
Nathan was about to guide Kim Eunji back to their seats but the latter did something else instead.
Kim Eunji walked towards the platform and sat on the waiting chair.
Nathan's interest picked as he saw what his wife was doing.
Then someone handed her guitar and placed the mike stand across her.
Seeing that Kim Eunji was on the platform and was getting ready to perform, everyone including Nathan, took the initiative to sit on their respective seats while the waiters started delivering to their respective tables their share of the cake.
Kim Eunji took time in finding the best comfortable position for her.
"Hey hubby...You're not the only one who prepared some surprises tonight." Kim Eunji winked and then threw a flying kiss towards his direction at the same time.
He then caught it in the air and placed it in his heart. He didn't care if everyone around them would think that his actions were childish.
"Hmmm. I don' know were to start really....but I hope this song...I hope you'll like my song tonight. The song that I'm going to play is Best Part by Daniel Caesar featuring H.E.R. I hope you'll like this."
(A/N: Please do listen to the song. Can't put it due to copyright strike so please bear with me. I don't want to face a lawsuit..)
Kim Eunji then started plucking some chords before she strummed the first keys of the song.
Everyone was surprised because they could tell from the first note that she knew how to play and she could play well.
Kim Eunji readied herself as she was about to sing the first verse. making everyone to gasp when they heard her singing voice for the first time.
Everyone was amazed at how beautiful and clean her starting note was.
Everyone felt like they were being hypnotized by Kim Eunji's beautiful voice.
Nathan had a satisfied smile on his face while looking at her.
He could not describe how happy he was at the moment as his wife chose to dedicate a song for him.
He's proud of himself that he got the chance to love a very amazing and one of a kind woman. But more importantly, he's prouder of her.
Though Kim Eunji was not so vocal when it comes to expressing what she's going through emotionally everyday, Nathan knew all too well that his wife had gone through a lot of difficulties before she gained this confidence to perform in front of everyone.
These difficulties were mostly related to her emotions. Something that majority of us struggled in dealing with everyday.
It's hard to be vulnerable in front of everyone but for Nathan's sake, she's willing to admit to the world that Nathan was her weakness. And she didn't care at all. Because today was their moment. Today was the best part of their lives.
"You're so beautiful wifey." He mouthed at her together with a wink making Eunji to chuckle.
"I know you're my star." He made his own version of the original lyrics.
Those who knew the song and the melody started to hum and sing a long as they raised their hands up together and waved it in the air while they immersed themselves in the beautiful melody of the music.
They even held their breaths when they saw Nathan stood up from his seat and made his way towards his wife.
They felt lime they could not contain their excitement for whatever was about to happen.
"No wifey! It's me who will follow wherever you go. And everyday my life had been a movie because you're with me." He said to her making everyone to hear.
Everyone squeal when Nathan back hugged Kim Eunji in front of everyone. Then to everyone's surprise, Nathan took the microphone from her as he said, "Will you continue playing for me wifey?"
Kim Eunji didn't expect this request from him. Also she had not heard him singing in the past so she was a little bit nervous for her husband.
But Nathan gave her a reassuring look telling her that it's okay. That he'd forever be unbothered towards other people's opinion.
As Kim Eunji smiled back at him, her fingers continued to move. She played some transition chords before playing the real one.
(I had inserted some alterations on the lyrics a bit to make it more suitable for them.)
'It's another sunrise'
Nathan's baritone voice accompanied by Kim Eunji's guitar play filled the entire place. As they heard Nathan's perfect pitch, every girls in the room squealed because of both excitement and happiness.
Gosh! The heavens had been so good to them for letting them hear such wonderful and angelic voices.
'And those two-colored eyes, yes'
Nathan decided to change the lyrics with the one he seemed appropriate to describe Kim Eunji.
'You will always be the one that I'll desire'
A person would be such a fool if he'd say he didn't desire Kim Eunji to be his woman.
'And when she wakes up'
'Of course we will make love'
Kim Eunji blushed when Nathan sang that last line sexily. Seeing her reaction, Nathan's lips curled up a little as he sang the next line.
Kim Eunji decided to join Nathan and sing this second chorus together.
Kim Eunji chose this song to sing and dedicate to him because she felt like the lyrics perfectly fitted for them. She even felt like the lyrics had become more meaningful when Nathan decided to join her and sang it together.
But actually the song could go both as a way of confessing to someone or describing how deeply you had fallen in love with the person and what the person meant to you.
(A/N: Best Part is a very good song with nice melody. If you have the time to listen to it, please do. I fell in love with the song and wanted to have the feeling of being in love and being loved by a significant other. Love must have been the most magical thing in the universe. Others might argue that love is not real. That it's a product of the hormones messing up in our brain but those who experienced it and have been enjoying this sensational feeling would surely say, 'We don't care as long as we don't hurt others.'
Learning how to love and be reciprocated and being cherished by that person is I think the 'Best Part' in a person's life. )
