The next day, everybody was shocked to see a mature looking Mari.

Sulli: what happened to you? Were you tired of being the princess?

Mari: I woke up from fantasy, hope you will too.

Sulli: what did you say?

Mari: wake from the fantasy that I am a competitor, I’m not.

Sulli: well… I thought you were… I’m sorry.

Mari: it doesn’t matter anymore, let’s start a new friendship.

Sulli: really? Thank you!

During lunch break

Siwon: have you seen the bulletin board?

Kibum: no not yet, why?

Hyukjae: there’s an open audition today.

Ryeowook: I think, Mari, you should join in too.

Mari: why me?

Leeteuk: me? Why of all people, me? Aigoo! Ask yourself!

Siwon: because of Kyu sam.

Mari: you know what, I like him…

Kibum: Ryeowook, as we’ve expected.

Ryeowook: I have calculated it already.

Hyukjae: why are you so intelligent?

Ryeowook: it’s in the genes.

Leeteuk: why don’t you join the audition?

Mari: that’s not a good idea... I have a good idea.

Hyukjae: what better idea can you give?

Mari: why don’t I join the auditions?

All: whatever Mari!

Mari was waiting for her name to be called, when a cold gush of air had touched her skin and blew her hair. She felt a certain feeling that can be equated as happiness.

Soon, her name was called and she went to the stage to sing, one of the judges is Kyuhyun sam, he is also playing the piano.

Ms. Han: Ms. Choi what are you going to sing for us?

Mari: I’ll sing All Love is a Lie by Lyn.

Mr. Jung: please go on.

Kyuhyun played the piano, Mari’s voice and Kyuhyun’s piano; they blended so well, that Mari and Kyuhyun both cried. Soon enough, Kyuhyun sang with her, and their voices were as sweet as the birds chirping, as beautiful as the rainbow, as clean ad as cold as the snow, but why is there a cello accompanying them? But it just made their song better, now they’re voices become one, now they are making good music together. After she sang, it was standing ovation,

Mr. Gu: Ms. Choi, you are our lead star in this concert, same as you, Mr. Cho.

Mari: thank you sir, ma’am!

 

At the concert:

Kyu sam: let’s work hard on this!

Mari: yes sir!

Kyu sam: I love you… (silently)

Mari: huh?

Kyuhyun: I said I love you.

Mari: I don’t believe in fairy tales anymore but I know that this is real.

Kyuhyun: After you graduate will you be my girlfriend?

Mari: it’s 6 months from now, it’s too long! You might change your mind! But to abide with the rules, okay.

After the concert:

Kyu sam: we made beautiful music together.

Mari: I know.

After 6 months:

After the graduation ceremony:

Kyu sam: now, will you make more beautiful music with me?

Mari: I can’t decide right now.

Kyu sam: why not?

Mari: coz I’ve decided it already. I… Choi Mari will not live in fantasy anymore; hence will be living because I will make beautiful music with love through… Cho Kyuhyun!

Kyuhyun: let’s make that beautiful music last forever. Saranghae!

Mari: nado saranghae Oppa!

Her friends saw them

Ryeowook: as I’ve calculated!

Siwon: we knew it very well!

Kibum: good luck!

Leeteuk: I can’t cry

Hyukjae: wow! Ryeowook, you’re really smart! And you two are really sweet!
