CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
Prove Them WrongAfter three weeks of rigorous practice, the annual school play is ready to commence. Everybody especially Noo Ri was beginning to get nervous. As the auditorium starts to get filled with spectators, Noo Ri can't help but long for Si Hoo's presence. He always does a good job of easing her nerves and making her feel happy for the past few weeks.
"We will start the program in 10 minutes" Miss Kwon's student assistant informs the cast. Her reminder immediately stopped them from wandering about and head straight to their posts. Before proceeding to their places, Jae Min and Ma Ri decided to pay Noo Ri a quick visit at her dressing room before.
"Hermia, are you ready?" Ma Ri tried to cheer Noo Ri up as she opens the door.
"OMO, her hands are trembling." Jae Min points out. "Has he come to check you out?"
Noo Ri shook her head "I haven't seem him all day, actually. I'm beginning to worry where he is."
"You shouldn't worry about him or anyone at this point, Noo Ri. I'm sure he'll be cheering on for you." Ma Ri reminded her politely.
"Ma Ri-ah, we better get going. The show's going to start in less than five minutes."
"Jae Min's right. You guys go ahead. I need a few more minutes alone. Thanks for dropping by!"
"FIGHTING!" they all said together.
As Noo Ri was vocalizing in front of the mirror, someone knocks at her door. "Come in," she said without looking to see who it was. Surprisingly, it was Si Hoo who arrived holding a white rose in his hand. "For you, my sweet, lovely Hermia..." Noo Ri turns around and sees him putting the stem of rose on a vase.
Seeing her nervous state, he approaches her with a warm smile on his face, "Nervous?"
"TOTALLY"
Si Hoo began massaging her shoulders "Don't be." he paused and whispered to her ear "I'll be cheering for you from the mezzanine..."
Noo Ri smiled in relief "Thanks for the rose. I should be going now." But before he let her go, Si Hoo carefully plants a kiss on her forehead "Break a leg, Miss Seo Noo Ri." The way he uttered her name gave Noo Ri the right amount of boost to do her best and nail her role.

It was actually Miss Kwon who was the most nervous that night. At the backstage, she would paced back and forth as the play goes on. It was going well so far. The crowd was laughing along with the appropriate lines and she could perfectly hear the voices of the actors as they uttered their lines. She felt most amazed by her female lead, Seo Noo Ri. "I did make the right choice of making her the female lead. Thank you for proving me right,
