  Joohyun POV:      I went to my next period class. Music. I pulled out my instruments. My violin, flute, and sheet music for the piano. I could play other instruments too, but according to my instructor these three instruments were my strong points.      We were practicing our set list for our contest. I was the concertmaster, lead flute player, and the piano player for the school's symphony.       As I warmed up I began to think back on when I first started music, as I always did. My mother hired the best piano instructor in Seoul to teach me to play. Then when I was 7 my uncle, who was the conductor for the Seoul Philharmonic taught me to play the violin and the flute.      At that time I wanted to learn more. One day my father held a family reunion. They stayed for a few weeks. My older cousin who was an aspiring musician taught me how to play the guitar and sing in the short time he visited. For a while I wanted to be a singer.      When my mom found out about it she was disappointed. She told me that most people that tried to become singers didn't make it at all, and that my cousin was proof of that. I let go of my dream and did things my parents way. But I did find something else that I loved. When I found out how good I was, I continued it.      I love to draw. Scenery, people, animals, but most of all manga. I loved it a lot. Often times when I was supposed to be studying I would draw.      "Alright students," the conductor, Mr. Cho, yelled interrupting my thoughts. "As you know we have a very important competition coming up. The preliminary is in just a few weeks. Remember just because it's a preliminary doesn't mean we don't play to the best of our abilities."      The class began to settle down as Mr. Cho prepared the music.      "Okay we are going to start with "From the New World" then we're to play "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst, next we'll be playing Serenade of the Strings in C Major, and lastly Moonrise with an accompanied by our pianist."      He was about to start conducting when a girl dark-red hair came in carrying the score sheets.      "Oh I almost forgot," Mr. Cho realized. "Class, this is our new music T.A. Tiffany Hwang."      She was shorter than me but not a lot. She had a really pretty eye smile as well.      "You all can just call me Tiffany," she said. "I'm pretty easy going so don't feel intimidated by me. And if you need help with anything don't be afraid to ask me."      With that the conductor continued to orchestrate the class. Once we finished Mr. Cho asked Tiffany for her opinion.      "Go ahead Tiffany," he encouraged. "I want your honest opinion."      Tiffany became thoughtful for a moment before she finally answered.      "Well I noted a few things. In the first song the violins and flutes were slightly off-key in the first section. Also the trumpets and french horns were playing the same melody and although it says that both should be playing mezzo forte, I feel that the french horns should be a little bit louder."     Tiffany stopped and turned to look at me. She gave me a small smile before she continued her explanation. "Also the last piece the piano playing seems as though it lacks emotion. I'd like it if the pianist gave the solo a little more depth and dynamic so that it matches with the the other parts. She seems to have  the notes and rhythms down, but she seems to be focusing too much on that"      The director smiled. "Very insightful Tiffany. Joohyun, do you mind playing the first few lines of the solo again. This time feel free to add your own dynamics and flare as Tiffany said."      "Yes Mr. Cho."      I began to play the piece again. I knew the music by heart so I didn't bother looking. I just closed my eyes did what ever I thought sounded best and let the piece flow together as it should have. I had finished with the first five lines when Mr. Cho finally cut me off.      "That was very good Joohyun." I blushed a little as he praised me. "We don't have time to go through the set list again, but keep in mind to play like that from now on."      The bell rang and the other students began to put their instruments away. Tiffany came over to me and helped me put away my stuff.      "You play very well," she complimented.      "Thank you, for correcting me that is."      "No problem, you have a lot of talent under those finger tips of yours. Your sound is very mature, similar to that of my old college professor. The only ting I suggest is that you not focus so much on perfection."      "Ok I will," I said. "I'm so glad you are our new T.A. I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you more closely."      She smiled.      "Me too."      She left the music hall. I left shortly after.      I went straight to the lunch room. Yoona, Sooyoung, Yuri, and Tao were already there, but none of them were eating. I was about to get in line to buy lunch when someone turned around and stopped me. I turned around and it was Sehun.      "What are you doing," he questioned.      "Getting lunch," I replied slightly puzzled. "That's normally what people do when they come to the lunch room."      "Not today, we're leaving campus to eat this today. Come on let's go get your friends."      "But I don't have any money with me," I protested.      "Don't worry about that I'll buy you whatever you want," he replied while playfully ruffling my hair.      We walked over to the lunch table where my friends were.      "Unnie Sehun oppa said they're going off campus to eat. Do you mind if we all go out to eat instead?"      Yoona seemed taken aback at first, then she finally answered.      "Sure I don't mind, but where are we going to eat," she asked.      I looked at Sehun who was exchanging glances with Tao.      "Oppa where are we going," I asked.      He gave me a sly grin. "You'll see."      From across the cafeteria we heard a deep familiar voice call out to us. "Sehun Tao hurry up."      "Hold up will you," he yelled back, drawing everyone else's attention on us.      "Come on," he grabbed my hand and dragged me towards Chanyeol and Kai.     Kai POV:      When Sehun told me that Joohyun and her friends would be eating lunch with us I was a little on edge. Yoona and Joohyun were always together.      I never told anyone but I wanted to make up with Yoona. I treated her horribly and I wanted to show her that I still cared.      Sehun exited the cafeteria with Joohyun in tow. Yuri and Tao followed behind them holding hands like longtime lovers. Sooyoung was right behind the couple rolling her eyes.      Then there was Yoona. As soon as she looked at me her eyes filled with  hate. I never knew I had hurt this much. Yoona was never the kind of person to hate anyone, but I seemed to be an exception.      I held out my hand to her and she looked at me as though I had egg on my face.      "What do you want," she hissed.      "I'm taking you to lunch."      "I don't need you to," she snapped. I sighed, slightly fustrated with her. I was trying to be nice.      "Look I know you hate me and I would hate me too and I want to make it up to you. You can yell and complain about it all you want but I'm not gon
