Characters:
Mina – a die-hard fan and staff
member of rock band The Harlequin.
She’s a twenty-year old something woman who has a crush on the band’s vocalist,
Sean but is painfully shy to admit her feelings that’s why even as a staff of
her crush’s band, she acts stiff around him.
Sean – vocalist of The Harlequin and is a great composer.
He’s trying to write a new material for their next album but is having a
difficult time because of pressure. He’s very professional and treats the staff
with respect.
Brad, Allen and Phil – members of
The Harlequin and Sean’s friends
since their college years at a music school. They also contribute to the song
making process but more on the technical aspects. They sense that Mina likes
Sean because she unconsciously spoil Sean more than the rest of the band.
Story:
Sean throws his compositions into
the trash and seems infuriated that he can’t create any good piece for the past
3 months. Meanwhile, Mina was tasked to clean up the recording room, saw the
pile of trash, read the pieces and kept it in her pocket. Upon returning to her
room, Mina once again read the paper and tried making her own song out of it. She
recorded it in her phone and fell asleep…
The other day, the band finished
their rehearsal when Phil asked for Mina’s help to buy them food and medicine
for Sean’s throat. She hurried outside and the rest of the band noticed that
she forgot her phone. They decided to peek on it and saw Mina’s recordings.
Pleased by Mina’s work, they asked her if they can use the compositions for
their next album. Mina was happy to contribute to her favorite band, but Sean
was happier because he knew the lyrics were the ones he wrote. In other words,
Sean owes Mina for turning his trash into jewels.
One night, Sean called Mina for
an “important talk.” It turns out, Sean wanted to thank Mina by performing an
acoustic version of the song they wrote together. Sean also revealed that the
song is too personal and special for him that it does not fit for the album’s
concept so decided that he’ll not include the song in their list, implying that
he wants to do a separate EP for it. Mina, on the other hand, misunderstood
this and felt like Sean didn’t really liked the song at all. She got angry and
walked out in front of Sean.
Months later, the band is
performing their new album at a huge concert with more than 10,000 fans. Mina
was one of the staff who’s watching from the technical booth and saw the set
list. The place went pitch black when all of a sudden, a light lit at the stage
where Sean was standing. He is holding an acoustic guitar and playing a
familiar rhythm. Mina realized this and starting crying. Before playing the
song, Sean said that this song is “his love letter to fans” which the fans
loved. After the concert, Mina approached Sean and thanked him. In return, Sean
hugged him and the rest of the band followed.
The story ends with the band and
Mina altogether are trying to write a new song only five of them will get to
listen to.
