"Eomma-yah" Seohyun held her sore forehead and groaned.  She looked up and saw Jonghyun standing right in front of her, his arms folded at his chest as he glared at her. She just realised how tall he had grown since the last time she checked.

Seohyun straightened up,  still shorter than Jonghyun and said, "Don't you know that you shouldn't stand at the door? You almost broke my nose,  you brat".

Jonghyun raised an eyebrow and gestured at her, "I didn't know doors could break noses but I do know what you have been doing behind my back".

Seohyun stared at Jonghyun for a moment before shaking her head, "I have no idea what you are talking about". She pushed her way through Jonghyun and headed to the kitchen.

Jonghyun trailed behind her,  looking vexed, "DON'T IGNORE ME".

Seohyun went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water before turning around to face Jonghyun once again, "So what is it then?".

She sipped the water as Jonghyun looked like he was going to explode, "YOU ARE DATING JUNG YONGHWA-SHII, THAT'S THE PROBLEM".

 

PUIHHH.

 

Seohyun positively spat all the water in out in surprise at Jonghyun. Jonghyun narrowly evaded it by stepping aside and the water landed on the floor.

"HOW DID YOU - -? " Seohyun spluttered in confusion.

" SO ITS TRUE THEN! OH MY GOD WHAT HAS THE WORLD BECOME OF? DEAR GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME " Jonghyun shut his eyes in despair and started praying loudly.

"It's not like that! "Seohyun exclaimed, trying to prove her innocence.

Jonghyun looked at her and said, "so you aren't dating him then?".

Seohyun stuttered, trying to think of what was correct to say, "We aren't dating but the relationship we have is a bit confusing. It's just for one month.. He forced me! AH ITS COMPLICATED".

"SO YOU ARE DATING HIM THEN! "Jonghyun began wailing.

"HE FORCED ME!" Seohyun argued.

"You can't force someone into a relationship. It isn't Hogwarts here and we don't have love potions. Noona, I thought you hated him" Jonghyun exclaimed.

Seohyun was about to scream that she hated Jung Yonghwa but..  did she? Maybe three months ago she could say loudly that she hated Jung Yonghwa right down to his bones but now..  she couldn't? "Mwo.. It's not like I hate him. Just mild dislike.. " Seohyun hesitated and whispered softly.

Jonghyun buried his face into his palms and started praying out loud, "DEAR GOD, OH DEAR GOD".

Seohyun tried to pull Jonghyun's hands off his face, yelling, "Stop praying, it's not that serious!".

Jonghyun took his hands off his face and said calmly, "I need some air". He strode to the kitchen entrance calmly before breaking down, yelling a chorus of "DEAR GODD" on his way out of the house.

Seohyun sighed and closed her eyes, feeling tired and rather confused about what just happened. How did Jonghyun find out about this stupid one month relationship?

There were approaching footsteps and Yoona padded into the kitchen, looking slightly amused as she pointed at the way to the front door.

"Eonnie, do you by any chance know why Jonghyun oppa just ran out of the house yelling 'Dear God' at the top of his lungs?" Yoona asked innocently.

Seohyun nearly slammed down the glass she was holding onto the counter, stuttering, "No, good night" before dashing out of the kitchen in a hurry.

Yoona folded her arms across her chest and smirked to herself.

Bunch of liers.

Seohyun narrowly managed to escape from the kitchen and stomped her way upstairs. Instead of heading straight to her room, she took another flight of stairs up to the third floor and ended up in front of Yonghwa's room door.

Normally, she would have knocked and politely asked if she could enter. Today however, she felt as though she just ate a ball of fire.

Jung Yonghwa, in her mind, needs to die.

 

Seohyun threw the door open and stomped in, slamming it behind her. The sight that greeted her almost knocked her back flat to the door.

Jung Yonghwa emerged out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel across his waist. His hair was dripping onto the carpet.

His jaw dropped wide open when he saw Seohyun at the door.

"YAH SEO JU HYUN! WHAT ARE YOU--? GET OUT" he yelled at her.

Seohyun was severely taken aback but managed to regain herself. It wasn't like she hasn't seen a half man in her life. Jonghyun always walked around the house with a towel when they lived in their old house. Jung Yonghwa was just another man.

Seohyun walked straight up to Jung Yonghwa, causing him to retreat until he was flat against the wall of his room.

He stuttered for her to stay back, "YAH stop coming closer, get out you ert".

Seohyun stopped when her face was only a few inches away from him and locked her hands onto the walls beside him, effectively caging him.

She leaned in to him and whispered, "What's wrong, Jung Yonghwa? You can openly babble to my dongsaeng that we are dating but you get embarrassed because I am seeing you half ?".

Yonghwa tried to argue, unable to hide the nervousness in his voice, "This is what you are mad about? Yah, can't we discuss about this after I get dressed after without you trying to effectively me?".

Seohyun narrowed her eyes causing Yonghwa to gulp, "Andwae. You make fun of me everyday, Jung Yonghwa. You disturb me when I am working and you constantly plot behind my back with Fany. You forced me to date you and even kissed me in public. Now you even told my dongsaeng that we are dating causing me to lose every single sibling respect I earned. Why should I let you dress up nicely so you can patronise me like you always do?".

Yonghwa replied, "Sibling respect? Yah aren't you exaggerating?".

Seohyun used her right hand and forced by the cheek to face her, "And now you are making fun of me".

Yonghwa sighed and admitted, "Alright, I am sorry. Maybe I went too far this time".

Seohyun glared at him, "Damn right you did. An apology won't be enough".

Yonghwa raised an eyebrow, "If you really want all this beauty.." Yonghwa gestured to his entire body causing Seohyun to involuntarily blush slightly. In reflex, Seohyun hit Yonghwa on the head, hard.

"Alright, I'm sorry" Yonghwa apologised. "What do you want?".

"I want to end this one month relationship" Seohyun said coldly.

Yonghwa didn't even consider but immediately shook his head and replied, "No can't do, sweetheart. Anything but that. I can give you gold and jewellery but not this request".

Seohyun frowned and argued, "Why not? Why are you trying to tie me to this commitment? Why are you doing all this? ".

Yonghwa replied earnestly, "I told you, it's because I like you. I like you so I try to get closer to your friends. I like you so I try to understand you more from your brother. I like you so I want to protect you at all times. I like you so I would do all these things for you".

Seohyun looked surprised by the sudden outburst of words but continued calmly, "but I don't believe in love.  Love is overrated. They say love is everything but what is love? Love can't buy rice, love can't pay bills. What is love worth?".

Yonghwa smiled gently as he chuckled, "You are really a very very bad liar, did anyone ever tell you that?".

"Bo?" Seohyun asked disbelievingly. She wasn't a liar.

"You say love is worthless. You say you do not believe in love and therefore you want to end our relationship but why does your eyes tell me something else?".

Seohyun cocked her head to one side and said, "I don't understand what you are saying".

Yonghwa said," You know what I am saying. Everyday you tell me to leave, get lost, disappear from your life but when I want to turn away from you and leave, I can't".

Seohyun nearly screamed in frustration, "Why can't you? What's so hard? Just leave!.

Yonghwa smiled at her silliness and said, "Because everytime I'm about to turn away, your eyes are screaming for me to stay".

Seohyun glared at him for three seconds before shutting her eyes tightly.

"There," Seohyun gestured. "Leave".

This time, Seohyun was 110% sure he was going to leave. She might never see him again. Maybe tomorrow, she will disappear the same way she appeared. They'll go back to the lives they were meant to live.

 

However, Yonghwa smirked and leaned in. Seohyun felt his hands gently cupped her face between them and something moist on her lips, capturing her lips between it. Her eyes flew open.

Jung Yonghwa however didn't let go of her. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. This kiss was much more intense than the last one because this time, he could actually really feel her kissing him back. He wasn't sure whether it was due to her hands that were making gentle circular motion on his or the feeling of her tongue on his lips.

Seohyun's eyes closed against her will and without realising it, she was kissing him back.

The urgency in the kiss was refreshing to Seohyun, who hasn't kissed anyone except Jung Yonghwa. It was as though he was transmitted how much he wanted her through his kiss.

Her stomach was fluttering as though there were a thousand butterflies inside, waiting to be set free.

And although she might never tell Jung Yonghwa this,

She actually liked it.

 

---

 

 

The next morning, Seohyun woke up feeling rather dazed. Her mind took a whole minute to process what happened last night between her and Yonghwa.

She kissed him.

She couldn't deny it because he didn't just kiss her, she kissed him.

 

Seohyun sat up, her hair rather messy and her clothes disarray. She wrapped her legs around her chest and rocked slowly on the bed.

She wasn't sure anymore how she felt about Jung Yonghwa.

When she first met him, he was the most arrogant person she had every met.

She hated the sight of him, even the way he strut around with his Mercedes annoyed her right down to the bones.

However now, she wasn't sure how she felt towards him anymore. The  hate she initially felt was no longer there but replaced with something stranger.

Last night when he kissed her, she couldn't help but return the kiss despite knowing that she shouldn't. She still remembered his voice whispering at her ear when they finally separated lips. His hot breath blew against her neck as he gasped slightly, "I'm making a bet with you, Seo Ju Hyun. By the end of this one month, you are going to fall in love with me. For now, wait for me on Wednesday, afternoon. I will pick you up at Tiffany's".

After that, everything was mostly a blur. She remembered pushing Yonghwa away, though he had already backed away himself. She couldn't remember the walk back to her room or the bed either.

 

She was too dazed by Jung Yonghwa.

 

Seohyun's fingers involuntarily reached up to touch her lips gently. In one week, she has been kissed twice by Jung Yonghwa.

Before, she couldn't imagine even being friends with that arrogant toad.

What a strange world it was, indeed.

 

---

 

 

The days flew by very quickly when you spent them trying to avoid a person.

She spent five days avoiding Jung Yonghwa, mainly because she didn't know how to face him after their little run in. Jonghyun still gave her dirty looks whenever Yonghwa's name was mentioned and somehow, she could feel Yoona giving her a smirk too.

Perhaps it was just her imagination.

Surprisingly, Yonghwa didn't bother her much like he usually did. He rarely visited the cafe for the five days, having only visited once and stayed for half an hour. According to Yoona, there was a big business deal ongoing so Yonghwa was caught up in work but Seohyun wasn't sure how true that was.

Who knows? Yonghwa could be avoiding her as well.

Seohyun held on to that hope strongly and continued her daily life freely.

 

However, everything went crashing down on Wednesday.

On early Wednesday morning, a certain Jung Yonghwa snuck into Seohyun's room, closing the door soundless behind him. On the bed layed a sound asleep Seohyun, having returned from a late night shift. Yonghwa slowly got onto the queen size bed and layed on his side, propping up his head with his arm. The close view of Seohyun's face allowed him to admire her looks quietly without her glaring, narrowing eyes.

She was beautiful, despite not knowing it.

Yonghwa outstretched his hand and caressed her brown hair, tucking in a loose strand behind her ear. Being careless, Yonghwa accidently Seohyun's face causing her to stir.

The last thought that went through his mind was, "oh ." before Seohyun started screaming.

Yonghwa sat up and immediately used his hand to clamp down on Seohyun's mouth, effectively shutting her up. Seohyun glared at Yonghwa and tried to pull his hand off. Yonghwa however preserve and said, "I am taking my hand off so please stop puncturing my ear drums".

Yonghwa took off his hand and Seohyun sat up, immediately demanded, "What the hell are you doing in my room, on my bed, touching my face, you ert?"

Yonghwa turned slightly red at being address a ert, "Bo? ert? Yah, I will let you know that I am listed in Forbes 50 Golden Bachelors of 2014".

"So what in the world is Mr. Golden Bachelor doing in my bed? " Seohyun demanded.

" I only wanted to remind you that you have a date with me this afternoon" Yonghwa said casually.

Seohyun thought for a moment before she remembered, "Oh right, it's Wednesday today".

Yonghwa looked slightly annoyed at Seohyun, "You forgot?!".

Seohyun shook her head, "I did not, it's because I'm sleepy so my memory is distorted".

Yonghwa layed down suggestively, propping his head up with his arm and said seductively, "Well if you are tired, I can always accompany you to sleep".

Seohyun however stared at Yonghwa in disgust and snapped, "GET OUT, YOU ERT".

Within three seconds, Yonghwa found himself being hauled out of the room by the ear. Yonghwa hit the floor on his bottom as Seohyun said, "ERT". She slammed the door shut and locked it.

Yonghwa got up, rubbing his aching bottom while mumbling, "That woman, living in my house and kicking me out like she's the owner".

 

---

 

Sharp at three o'clock in the afternoon, Seohyun bid goodbye to Tiffany and slung her bag over her shoulders. She was dressed rather nicely that day compared to normal days, making an effort to wear a blouse instead of her casual T-shirt and letting her hair down instead of tying it up. While she dressed up this morning, she couldn't help but silently question herself, "What on earth are you doing Seo Ju Hyun?". She was dressing up for a man for the first time .

Seohyun waited outside the cafe, unconsciously rolling on her heels as she waited anxiously, would Jung Yong Hwa have forgotten ?

Her worries were futile because it wasn't long before Yonghwa's black Mercedes stops right in front of the cafe. Yonghwa gets out of the car and walks up to Seohyun, his hands stuck in his pockets.

"Good afternoon" Yonghwa greets her.

"Good afternoon, Jung Yonghwa-shii", Seohyun greets back formally.

Yonghwa asked excitedly, "Are you ready to go?".

Seohyun nod and Yonghwa opened the passenger door for her, holding it open as Seohyun climbed into the car. Yonghwa got into the car himself and they sped off .

Seohyun asked curiously, "You still haven't told me, where are we going?".

Yonghwa smirked lightly and replied, "You'll see".

 

---

 

Seohyun kept her eyes at her surrounding buildings as they travelled to an unknown destination, determined to find out where he was taking her. Yonghwa however remained casual and asked, "How's work today?".

Seohyun sighed and replied, "One spilled coffee and two broken tea cups, I had to sweep the floor four times today".

"So.. have you ever thought about changing jobs?" Yonghwa asked casually.

Seohyun raised an eyebrow, "Changing jobs? I don't really have much of a choice in career selection, Jung Yonghwa-shii and I would really rather not be washing dishes again".

"I don't mean that, I mean a different profession" Yonghwa explained, "Not washing dishes or serving cakes but maybe involving in business,  art or maybe music".

When Seohyun heard the word 'music', she almost lost her words but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I don't think that is possible, Jung Yonghwa-shii. As much as I would love to earn more money for my family, I know where I stand in capabilities".

"I think you're capable" Yonghwa argued.

Seohyun laughed slightly and murmured, "Of course you do silly, or you wouldn't be dating me".

Yonghwa smiled to himself and turned into a sharp corner, pulling the gear into parking mode. Seohyun looked around and saw a tall building in front of them. Yonghwa got out of the car and opened the car door for her, holding it open as she exited the vehicle. Seohyun stepped out of the car and read the large sign that was stuck to the center of the building, 'DALKONG SCHOOL OF MUSIC'.

"Is that?" Seohyun murmured in disbelief.

Yonghwa nod, "Yes, it is".

 

Seohyun automatically recognised the school of music, how could she not? It was the most famous music school in the whole of Korea where all the musical prodigies attend and normal students fight for places. It was once Seohyun's dream to acquire a scholarship to attend this school. Seohyun turned to Yonghwa and asked, "What are we doing here?".

Yonghwa replied honestly, "I know why you reacted that way towards the pianist that day at the amusement park".

Seohyun kept silent and Yonghwa continued, "I asked your brother because I was curious. I know your dream and I know why you're hurting. I want to help you".

Seohyun shook her head in despair, "No Jung Yonghwa-shii, no. I can't do this and you shouldn't interfere with my business". Seohyun attempted to walk away but Yonghwa caught her by the wrist tightly. Pulling her to face him, Yonghwa pleaded, "I've got Mr. Yoo to meet you for today, it's your only chance to showcase your capabilities and potentially change your entire life. If you get his approval, you can earn a job at the school, you don't have to carry cakes and sell snacks at the convinience store anymore. You know you want this, Seo Ju Hyun. I know you do".

Seohyun closed her eyes and almost screamed in frustration, "Don't you understand ? It doesn't matter whether I want it or not. I can't do it. I can't afford a piano at home, I can't afford losing my jobs for something that might not last, I can't afford to be selfish!".

"Those are excuses and you know it ! You don't need a piano at home if you pass the test, you could practice here. If you get a job here, you will earn more than those two jobs or any part time job you do. There's nothing selfish in chasing your dreams, Seo Ju Hyun. I know you're talented, why won't you admit it?" Yonghwa held Seohyun by the arm and shaked her slightly.

Seohyun avoided looking into Yonghwa's eyes and whispered softly, "I may have been talented 10 years ago, but the Seo Ju Hyun now hasn't touched a piano in 10 years" Seohyun looked at Yonghwa with sad eyes, "This Seo Ju Hyun spent 10 years washing dishes and serving coffee, she doesn't have the confidence to play the piano anymore".

Yonghwa held Seohyun's hands tightly in his, his eyes staring right into hers and said sincerely, "I know you can do it, I believe in you. Even if, and I mean if, Mr. Yoo rejects you, at least you can rest knowing you tried instead of forever living in the doubt of 'what ifs'. But I believe in your talent, Seo Ju Hyun. You can do it".

Seohyun laughed jokingly at his foolishness and said sarcastically, "How can you believe in my talent, when you never seen me play before?".

Yonghwa shrugged, "I see it in you, when you were staring at the pianist the other day. You looked at the piano with such enthusiasm and passion, you didn't need to touch the piano to play the keys. You already did in my eyes".

Seohyun sighed in defeat, "Are you a fool, Jung Yong Hwa-shii?".

"I am just a fool for you. So are you going to do this or not?" Yonghwa gestured to the big building behind him.

Seohyun stared past Jung Yonghwa at the building. It was intimidating with its large size and grey colour. However, what Yonghwa said was true. This was her dream for a long time and she finally has a chance to realise her dream. If she succeeds, more benefits come than the cons.

This was a once in a lifetime chance.

"Are you going to go in with me?" Seohyun asked innocently.

Yonghwa gripped her hands reassuringly, "Every step of the way".

Seohyun looked into his reassuring eyes and nod, "Let's go".

---

 

 

Seohyun followed closely behind Yonghwa as they entered the building. They were greeted by a receptionist at the front desk who greeted them, "Annyeonghasaeyo".

Yonghwa and Seohyun greeted back, "Annyeonghasaeyo".

Yonghwa continued, "I have an appointment with Mr. Yoo, 3:30 pm".

The receptionist checked a clipboard and replied, "Mr. Jung right? Mr. Yoo is expecting you, this way please".

The receptionist lead them into the lift and pressed the button leading to level 14, "Mr. Yoo is currently in Room 140, just exit the lift at level 14 and walk straight till the end of the corridor".

"Thank you" Yonghwa said and together, they entered the lift.

Seohyun kept her eyes on the floor and clutch her bag tightly to her body. Yonghwa spontaneously covered his hand over hers and asked, "Are you nervous?".

Seohyun nod silently, her fingers trembling in Yonghwa's hands. Yonghwa squeezed her hands reassuringly.

 

---

 

 

Yonghwa knocked on the door of music room 140 and entered the room, Seohyun following him from behind. Mr. Yoo was playing the piano by himself and Seohyun immediately recognized the piece as Fantaisie Impromptu by Chopin. He stopped playing when they entered the room and shook hands with Yonghwa.

"It's been a long time since we met, Jung Yonghwa-shii. I must say I was surprised when I received your call" Mr. Yoo said.

Yonghwa shook his hand back, "It's been a busy time but there's someone I wanted you to meet".

Yonghwa gestured to Seohyun who immediately bowed to Mr. Yoo, "Annyeonghasaeyo".

Mr.Yoo eyed Seohyun meticulously and replied, "Annyeonghasaeyo". Turning to Yonghwa, he sad accusingly, "You didn't tell me you were bringing a girl along".

Yonghwa replied, "If I told you, would you have agreed to meet her?".

"No, you know I don't meet random people. I only agreed to meet you out of respect for your father" Mr. Yoo snapped.

"She's really talented" Yonghwa said earnestly when it was rather much of a lie. He has never seen Seohyun play the piano in his entire life. He only trusted Jonghyun's words that Seohyun was good. He prayed that Seohyun was as talented as Jonghyun says. "You are going to regret it if you don't try her out".

Mr. Yoo pointed at the piano, "Play then" he looked at Seohyun. "Prove it".

Seohyun's eyes widen as she stared at the music sheets on the piano. They seemed like a blurr to her right now. Her fingers hasn't touched piano keys for 10 years. She didn't even dared to imagine playing the piano during her free time even though she could.

She gave up on piano.

Now, she was expected to play a piece that was clearly of high level with no practice before.

Her fingers trembled without her knowing.

Yonghwa noticed her trembling fingers and frowned. He wrapped his hand around her trembling one in reassurance.

"This lady hasn't played the piano in 10 years, you must at least give her a few days to practi--" Yonghwa tried to argue but Mr. Yoo cut him off.

"A good pianist can play any given song at any time" Mr. Yoo said in a final tone.

"But she hasn't--".

Seohyun tugged on Yonghwa's hand, effectively stopping him in midsentence. He turned to look at her.

"One hour" Seohyun said.

Yonghwa's jaw positively dropped to the floor.

Seohyun's eyes shined with determination as she said, "Give me one hour to prepare. I know it's no excuse but I haven't touched a piano in 10 years. I almost gave up on it until this gentleman here," Seohyun tugged gently on Yonghwa's hand. "-reminded me how much I really love to play the piano. So I really hope you will give me this chance to play for you and you will give me one hour of your time. I will prove to you that the piano is my destiny".

Mr. Yoo stared at Seohyun. Perhaps he hasn't seen a girl that talked back to him, or he hasn't seen someone who shined with such immense determination. It didn't matter because he replied after a moment of consideration,

"Fine, one hour. I will come back to this room to listen in exactly one hour. If you fail to impress me, then get out of my sight".

With that, Mr. Yoo turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

Yonghwa glared at the doors where Mr. Yoo just left, "Entertainers are so temperamental, this is exactly why I can't stand them!".

Seohyun chuckled and playfully, "Don't forget, you are trying to shape me into an entertainer as well".

"Well, you are different because you are mine" Yonghwa said.

"Cheesy" Seohyun shook her head.

Yonghwa let go of Seohyun's hand and gently pushed her forward towards the piano, "Don't waste any time, you only have one hour".

Seohyun turned and smiled softly at him, "This one hour.. isn't for me to practice".

Yonghwa cocked his head in confusion, "You aren't practicing?".

Seohyun went forward and outstretched her fingers. She ran her fingers over the notes of the piano slowly, absorbing each tune into her mind. She took in the feeling of having those keys under her fingertips again.

Seohyun sat down on the piano seat and once again, ran her notes over the keys of the piano. At the end of her third run, she turned and looked back at the confused Yonghwa.

"It's the time I need to get to know the piano again".

 

 

---

 

 

Jonghyun wasn't lying. She was good.

In fact, good isn't good enough to express how good she was.

After 10 minutes of just running through the notes,  she spent another 30 minutes studying the piece. Yonghwa, not wanting to disturb her,  found a quiet spot at the corner of the room and quietly watched her while answering some emails on his phone.

Seohyun took a deep breath and stared at the piece.  It was difficult definitely. Mr. Yoo wasn't about to let her in easily at all. She studied the piece carefully, adjusting the rhythm in her head.

And then she placed the piece back onto the piano and placed her fingers above the keys,

This was it.

 

She started playing the song, dancing the fingers across the piano as she scanned the legato and staccato notes.  The melody flew through her and she could feel it lifting up her spirits. It was a happy song.

She could feel a strange warmth under her fingertips where her fingers had contact with the piano keys.

Perhaps it's true what her mother said,

'her fingers were meant for the piano'.

 

---

 

Mr. Yoo entered the room exactly one hour later, his hands folded behind his back and his stance just oozing with professionalisme. Yonghwa remained quiet at one side while Seohyun got up to bow towards him. As much as he wanted to get up and stand protectively beside Seo Ju Hyun, this was a war she had to face alone.

"Are you ready to play now?" Mr. Yoo asked.

Seohyun nod, "Yes". She sat down on the piano seat and hovered her fingers over the piano keys. Taking a deep breath, she lowered them on the keys and lifted her eyes to meet the piano sheets.

She began playing the song. Yonghwa looked up when he heard her finally play the song.  He watched as her fingers flew across the keys and how her body swayed with the music. It was as if the music was flowing inside of her rather than the piano. He knew that she was worried about this once in a lifetime chance of being Mr. Yoo's apprentice in music but she didn't seem to let her worry be seen in her music.

She was genuinely happy to play the piano again.

Perhaps this was what it should be like for a musician,  to feel the music inside of you instead of it being a burden to you.

At the end of the song, Seohyun lifted her fingers gracefully from the piano keys and rested them on her lap as if she had done it a million times. She got up and turned to face Mr. Yoo nervously.

Mr.Yoo was expressionless as he asked, "You said this was the first time you played the piano in 10 years?".

Seohyun nod nervously, "Ne".

Mr.Yoo inspected Seohyun's expression throughly and said, "What if, Miss Seo Ju Hyun, I was about to offer you a spot in teaching in my music school as my music apprentice ? Would you accept my offer?".

Seohyun gasped slightly, slightly ajar as she digested the news, "Y-Yes! Yes, I would love to!", a smile spreaded across Seohyun's face.

Yonghwa smiled from one corner as he watched her happy face. Mr. Yoo nod, his face almost still and said, "I'll see you tomorrow at sharp eight o'clock".

"Ne! Thank you!" Seohyun bowed towards Mr. Yoo as he left the room.

Yonghwa got up and clapped slowly for Seohyun. Seohyun covered with her hands and turned to face Yonghwa, happiness was almost leaking from her face. Yonghwa walked slowly towards her and joked, "Congratulations my beautiful pianist girlfriend".

Seohyun laughed heartily and Yonghwa swore he could see her eyes still water from laughing too hard. 

Yonghwa opened his arms wide as he approached her and Seohyun almost flung herself into his arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and embraced her warmly, almost lifting her feet off the ground.

Seohyun whispered at his ear, "Thank you, Yonghwa-shii. Thank you so much".

Yonghwa smiled proudly and pat her hair lovingly.
