“Chagiya? Oh you are beautiful.”

“Gomawo ahjumma.”

Mrs. Jung caresses her hair and places her palm on her cheek.

“Are you being well?”

“Deh.”

“The dress fits her perfectly right Ye Jin?”

“Deh unni. She likes it.”

“Chinca? Ahjussi is the one who picks it for you.”

“Chincayo? It’s so pretty ahjumma. Send my love to ahjussi neh.”

“Deh Shinhye. I will when he some back from Sydney.”

“Deh ahjumma.”

She smiles sweetly.

“Where is Yonghwa unni? It’s been long since he parks the car right?”

“Yeh. Where is this boy go?”

Mrs. Jung turns around looking for Yonghwa and smiles when she sees him.

“Yongie.”

She called when Yonghwa look at her.

Yonghwa smiles a little and went to them. He bows to Mrs. Park and smiles.

“How are you ahjumma?”

“I’m fine handsome boy.”

He shows his toothy grins and rubs his nape which make Shinhye shows a disgusted gestures while seeing him acts cute.

“Let’s go in Ye Jin. We should greet her.”

“Deh unni. Kaja kids.”

They nods and follows their mom’s lead.

                                                                                              ***

“No!”

“What do you mean no Park? Are you arguing with me right now?”

Shinhye lowered her head.

“Sorry.”

“Start the project in another two days time. I’ll get him know tomorrow.”

“But Mr. Lee, do we need to do this together? You know that we quarrel every time right?”

Jonghyun laughs.

“Of course I know. That’s why I appoint you both on this project. It’s too important. Knowing the other, they will do it half-heartedly and starts to romance the next.”

Shinhye sighs. Working together with Jung Yonghwa never occurs in her sane mind.

“What are you thinking of?”

“Ani. I’ll do it.”

Shinhye stands up and bows to her teacher before she excuses herself out.

                                                                              ***

“Omo, you wear that look again. Waeyo Shinnie?”

Shinhye sighs. She brushes her bang from her forehead and hugs her omma.

“I’m in a bad mood again omma. Sing me a song.”

“Aigoo this girl. Aren’t you hungry? You always look for food whenever you come home.”

Shinhye snuggles closer to her mom’s chest.

“Omma, I need to pick my foods. Our new choreo is harder. I need to do a flip when I jump.”

Mrs. Park caresses her back.

“Won’t it be dangerous sweetie?”

“Ani omma. It’s just a simple one.”

“Chinca?”

“Deh.”

“Do it moderately dear. Don’t hurt yourself to be the best.”

“Arasseo.”

She pouts.

“I only need to beat him.”

“That’s a different categories right? Between girls and boys?”

She nods.

“But I need to gather more points than him.”

Mrs. Park sighs.

“Do you want me to make you some salads now?”

She shakes her head.

“I just need you right now to gain my energy back. Just sit here omma. Don’t go anywhere.”

Mrs. Park chuckles and caresses Shinhye’s hair.

“Deh.”

                                                                                              ***

“Yongie, send me to the boutique.”

“I’m busy noona.”

“Yah, you are just playing with the guitar since you come back. What makes you busy?”

“This makes me busy. I’m practicing for the competition.”

“Yongie ya, it’s just for 10 minutes from home. You can continue practicing after that.”

Yonghwa sighs and put down his guitar.

“Don’t make me stay.”

Yunhee smiles.

“I won’t. Gomawo darling.”

He sighs again looking at his guitar.

“Palli Yongie.”

“Deh.”

                                                                                              ***

“What?”

Jonghyun laughs.

“I had expected this from you too.”

“Mr. Lee.”

“Are you going to reject this?”

Yonghwa sighs.

“Please Yong. Do it for hyung.”

“Mr. Lee, I can’t work with her.”

Jonghyun chuckles.

“You two are the best. That’s why I appoint you both for this project. It’s national.”

“Can I think about it first?”

Jonghyun shakes his head.

“You won’t think even if you say you wanna think first. Hyung knows you too much Yonghwa.”

“I’ll do it. When will we have to start it?”

“Tomorrow. Thanks Yong.”

“I’ll leave first Mr. Lee.”

“Deh.”

Jonghyun answers with a smile.

                                                                                              ***

Yonghwa sighs when he saw Shinhye’s face in the classroom.

“You know about the project right?”

Shinhye nods.

“I’ll see what we should do and let’s do it separately before we combine it. There is no need for us to meet and discuss together right.”

“Right Jung. As if I’m dying to look at you face.”

Wearing a cold expression, Yonghwa shrugs his shoulder.

“Good then. I don’t want either.”

He walks again to his seat and sit down.

“Yong.”

Yonghwa raises his hand at Hongki.

Hongki waves at Shinhye and sit beside Yonghwa.

“I heard you goes home by bus on Tuesday.”

Yonghwa raises one of his eyebrows.

“Someone doesn’t dare to face me; that is why she shows it to my car.”

He laughs.

Hongki turns to Shinhye who was chatting with her friend and shakes his head before he looks at Yonghwa.

“Shinhye again?”

Yonghwa chuckles.

“Who else will do that childish act to me?”

“Aigoo. So, what about you cut off her ballet shoes?”

Yonghwa shrugs his shoulder and smiles.

“That’s childish too Yong.”

Hongki laughs and take out his books.

                                                                                              ***

“You do this and I’ll do the arrangement of lyrics and the ending.”

“That’s it?”

Yonghwa nods.

“I’ve asked Mr. Lee and he said doing this will do. Ah, and we need to look for the history of soprano too. So, you do that?”

Shinhye nods.

Yonghwa chuckles.

“You are not arguing?”

“There is nothing to argue. It’s Mr. Lee’s ”

“Good. I’m going.”

Shinhye continues her rehearsal when Yonghwa went out.

“You talk to Yonghwa?”

Shinhye furrows her eyebrows.

“Am I restricted from talking to him?”

Jinyoung shakes her head.

“I thought you hate each other.”

“I am. But we need to talk. It’s regarding the new project.”

Jinyoung nods.

“Wae? Are you mad at me? Because I talk to him?”

“Ani Shin. He doesn’t like me. I don’t want to put any hope.”

Shinhye sighs.

“Look for someone that deserves you Jinyoungie.”

Jinyoung nods and starts stretching her legs.

                                                                              ***

“Yong.”

Yonghwa stops walking and turn to the voice.

“Wae Hongki ah?”

“I’ll help you when you perform.”

“You said that you can’t.”

“Deh. but the concert is cancelled. Thank God.”

“Chinca?”

Yonghwa gives Hongki a quick hug.

“Thanks dude.”

“Welcome. I’ll meet you at 2.00 pm neh.”

“Deh. I’ll bring the sheets.”

Hongki nods and pats Yonghwa’s shoulder.

                                                                                              ***

Yonghwa was writing the melody of the song on the music sheets when Yunhee walks in and sit on the bed.

“Why do you hate her so much?”

He wrinkles his forehead.

“Why are you asking me this out of the blue?”

“Ani. I’m just curious.”

He looks at Yunhee who was playing with his guitar.

“Did mom tell you to ask me?”

Yunhee shakes her head.

“I’m just curious Yong. You and Shinnie were not in good term since kids.”

“Molla noona. I just don’t like her.”

“Just like that?”

He nods.

“Weird.”

Yonghwa chuckles.

“Don’t you know? Love and hatred both are blind.”

“Yah, you aren’t supposed to talk about it when you hate someone.”

“Noona, I’m born to dominate, not to be underestimate.”

“Did she underestimate you?”

He shrugs.

“Yah.”

“I just can’t come to like her. I’ve tried not to hate her since our family is close, but I just can’t.”

Yunhee sighs.

“I just hope you will stop hating each other someday.”

Yonghwa shrugs again and continues his work.

“I’m going out, do you want anything?”

“Aren’t mom in?”

“She is. I’m going out to date. If you want anything I’ll buy it for you.”

Yonghwa chuckles.

“Just don’t make Mr. Lee bored looking at you.”

“Yah, don’t keep calling him Mr. Lee. He will be your hyung.”

“Wait until he is.”

“Yah.”

Yunhee starts to pouts. Yonghwa smiles and pinch his noona’s cheek.

“Joking noona. Have fun.”

“Arasseo.”

                                                                                              ***

“What are you doing baby girl?”

“Appa, can you help me looking for popular soprano’s singers? It’s for my project.”

Mr. Park laughs.

“I’m not into music dear. Furthermore when it is a classical.”

“It’s not classic appa. Aishh forget it.”

Mr. Park laughs.

“Don’t frown. You will get wrinkle early.”

Shinhye pouts.

“Aishh appa.”

“Arasseo. I’m sorry. So, what is the project for?”

“It’s for the national. Our university is one of the representatives.”

“Waah chinca? Great.”

Shinhye smiles.

“Deh appa. But the thing that wasn’t great at all is I have to do it with him.”

“Him? Yonghwa?”

Mr. Park glances at his wife and earns a nod from her. He then turn to his pouting daughter.

“Why do you have to do it with him?”

“Mr. Lee said that we are the only one that fits for this project as we aren’t in good term.”

Mr. Park laughs.

“Appa!”

“Deh sorry. Kenchana, just do it like you always do it with you other friends. Treat him like them.”

Shinhye shakes her head.

“No, I can’t do that. Treating Jung as one of my friend is a no no.”

Mr. Park hold on her shoulder.

“So, how can you succeed in this project? You have to to the discussing and stuffs right?”

“Ani. We had separated our tasks and he will do the last arrangement.”

“Chinca? It’s not a group work when you do it separately.”

Shinhye sighs.

“But that is the best that we should do. If I do it on front of him, I really can’t complete my tasks.”

Mr. Park laughs.

“Do it as you want baby girl.”

“Thank you appa. I’ll continue my research.”

“Deh, I’ll leave you alone.”

Mr. Park kisses Shinhye’s hair and walks to his wife.

“She doesn’t melt by your words too I guess?”

Mr. Park smiles and nods.
