Yuri's POV

Woah, im finally back to Korea!
My birth country, i missed you!

Pushing my trolley with luggages out of the arrival terminal,
my face was plastered with a huge smile.

"I MISS KOREAAAA" 

I exasperated with my hands spreaded open widely,
earning weird glares from the people around me.

They must be thinking that im someone who is mentally unsound.
But who cares?
I miss Korea, it has been six years since i was in Korea.
Thinking back, these six years really got past so fast that i wasn't even aware of it till i've completed my studies.

Looking around the arrival terminal for my family,
it turned out that none was here except for the butlers.

to be me huh?
My family were always busy but at least, 
they gave me money to pursue my dreams.
Here i am, back in Korea with a degree from a reputable school in LA.

"Agasshi"
"Welcome back"

I nodded coldly and passed my trolley to them.
I've always hated those butlers, servants, maids or whatever you call them.
I don't know why but there is always this dislike in me for them.

"Where is appa and omma?"

"They are having a meeting in Shanghai, agasshi"

"Oppa?"

Yes, Kwon Yuri 20.
Im the daughter of the Kwon Hotels.
It was a huge chain hotel company that is well-known, worldwide.
That's how huge and influential my family is.

But nope,
it is not any kind of family business whereby my grandfather passed it over to my dad.
It was my dad himself who started everything with nothing.

I've went to LA six years ago to further my studies.
I was deeply in love with classical music and dance then which made me have the sudden urge to fly over to LA to further my interest.
Here i am, back in Korea after the whole gruesome six years of school.

The butlers shrugged,
head not daring to be lifted to face me.

I sighed.
Just as i let out a sad sigh,
someone tapped on my shoulder but when i turned,
there was no one.
And it continued for a few times before i got really annoyed.
Was about to shout at that fool for annoying me but all the annoyance went off when this handsome man stood infront of me.

Immediately, i dropped my bag and wrapped my arms around his neck.
My lips too, curved into a huge grin.

"Oppa!"
"I thought you weren't coming" 

I pouted sadly.
He immediately came over and pinched my chubby cheeks with a laugh.

"Why would i not be here?"
"i promised you on our last Skype call that i would be here"
"Didn't I?"

"But i came out and there were only them"

I said to oppa, pointing to the butlers with my index finger.

"I didn't tell them i was coming too"
"I camped at the airport since last night"

"Wae?"

"I've forgotten about your landing time!"

I giggled at my dorky oppa.
Because our parents were too busy to look after us,
oppa was the one who had always been there for me, 
protecting me and such.

"Lets go for a buffet!"
"Its been so long!" 

I smiled and threw him an 'okay' sign with my hand before turning to the butlers.

"Im going out with oppa"
"Just bring my luggages home and leave it in my room"

"Neh, agasshi"

The butlers replied immediately with a bow at me and oppa.
Well, we're the prince and princess of the household.
Why wouldn't we receive such respect?

At a luxurious buffet restaurant, 
oppa and I were seated by the window seat.
It had the most awesome view ever.

"How was your stay over at LA?"

Oppa was munching his steak away,
preparing to order another few.

"How hungry are you oppa!"

"Extremely hungry since i've camped in the airport last night"
"Not even leaving for a meal!"

"YAH OPPA!"

Oppa chuckled and winked at me playfully as he put down his knife and fork.

"Okay, let's be serious"
"So tell oppa about your experience back in LA!"
"Omma and appa had never allowed me to fly there and visit you"
"They wanted me to help out with their business, so"
"Oh well!"
"For today, i secretly escaped the work and sneaked into the airport"
"And guess what?"
"No one found me!"

To be honest, i can't stop laughing at my brother's cheekiness.
It's what that lit up my life whenever im bored or sad.

"You're the best, oppa!"

"I know right"

"Geez"

"So tell me about your experience in LA!"

"Whats there to talk about other than studying and practicing?"
"I had all kinds of dance training on even days of the week and for odd days"
"It will be the violin practice"

"I thought you were going for all string instruments?"

"My lecturer told to me to pick one as my major"
"Because having all isn't that ideal afterall"
"So i've picked violin"

"Woah"
"So i'll get to listen to some sawing sound every night?"

Oppa sure loves to tease me.

"YAH OPPA!"
"Wae geurae!"

"Okay, im just kidding!"

"I've gotten a distinction for my violin and dance alright!"
"Thats why im back!"

"Alright i know oppa's little sister is the best!"
"So, what are you going to do after you're back?"

"I've a class to teach tomorrow"
"Night class"

"Wow, that's fast!"
"I didnt expect it to be that fast!"

I chuckled a little.

"Can't help it because your sister is too outstanding that everyone wants her"

Oppa rolled his eyes playfully at me.

"Can you at least be a little humble?"

"What?"
"I've learnt everything from you!"

"So now, all is my fault?"

"Of course!"
"Anyway, oppa i met a girl in LA when i was going for different concert performance"
"Even had a few collaboration with her"

"And so?"
"Are you going to tell me she are violin playing?"

"NO!"
"She is good oppa!"
"Really really good!"

"Okay okay!"
"Relax, i was just kidding right?"
"So you've fallen in love with her?"

"Err.."
"Just this little bit?"

I showed my brother a meeky smile,
with my fingers showing him how little it was.

"Hmm.."
"I think it's more than that?"

"Oppa!"
"Stop teasing me or i'll really walk out on you now!"

"Okay fine"
"No teasing"
"So where is she now?"

"I think she has returned to Korea now since she will be having a solo violin concert in a weeks time"
"Im so going to buy the tickets when it is being release for sales"

"Who is it exactly that made you fall head over heels for her?"

"I doubt you know her, oppa"
"Her name is Tiffany Hwang Miyoung"

"Oh"
"Guess i really dont know who is she"

"Of course you don't!"
"But she is a really quiet violinist but a lot of other musicians had recognised her talent in it"
"I've tried talking to her a few times but she only answered to my questions and not a single word more"

"Hmm.."

Tiffany's POV

Korea.
Such a distant yet familar place.

Im back here again after two years.
That day i left is the two years of today.

How have you been, Jessi?
Leaving that night, without biding you a single goodbye.

Im sure you're attached now,
right?

You're what every guy wants.
Smart, pretty, kind and sweet.

Strut casually in the airport,
out of the arrival terminal with my beloved violin slung over my shoulders,
pulling the pink luggage behind me.

I missed you Jessi.
Im sorry to have shouted at you that night.
And leaving you that night just because our quarrel.

I knew, we could have avoided the quarrel.
It was all my fault.
I know, it was.

I shouldn't have shouted at you.
I can't have everyone to have the same interest as me.
Im being too selfish.

But here i am,
back in Korea.
Do we still stand a chance back together?

Where are you now, Jessi?
You didn't even drop me a call when i left.
Im sure you're still angry over me right?

Im sorry to have my number changed when i flew to LA, Jessi.
I've lost my phone as soon as i've reached LA.
It really made my mood worsened a lot because all our past photos were then gone.
I missed you yet i couldn't even find myself a picture to reminisce the times we were happy together.

Walking out of the airport,
i got on the van that was waiting for me outside.
Yes, it is my manager.

"Hey, welcome back"

Kim Hyunwon, my manager that i've gotten a year ago after being casted by a famous music company.
Now that im being casted, im sort of the star of the classical music in LA and Korea.
Im not too sure about other countries, but im pretty sure of this two though.

"Thanks"

I got up the van and immediately fished out my ipad,
plugged in my earphones and there,
im in my own world of music.

While reading through the news, i felt a tap on my shoulder.
Getting my earphones off me, Hyunwoo oppa threw me an smile.

"Fany-ah"

"Hmm?"

"Is there any place you wanna go?"
"Since we're back in Korea early"
"And your rehearsal starts only a few days later"
"If you have anywhere you wanna go, oppa can accompany you"

I shook my head with my famous eye smile.

"It's okay oppa"
"Just drop me back at my house"
"I'll go out on my own if i want to"

Hyunwoo oppa frowned.

"But it is dangerous for you to be out alone"
"What if your fans can recognise you?"

I let out a chuckle.

"Oppa!"
"Im a classical musician"
"Not many people out there are a fan of classical music"
"Why would they recognise me?"

"Well, im just afraid Fany"
"The company-"

"I'll keep myself safe, for your sake"
"And the company's sake" 

I know, Hyunwoo oppa detest the trouble the company always get him into because of me.
Even if its me buying a meal outside and got snapped by the paparazzi and went onto the news,
the company would go after Hyunwoo oppa like it's some kind of huge crime.

"Thanks Fany"
"I trust you"

"No problem"

An hour or so later,
Hyunwoo oppa dropped me outside my house.
The Hwang's mansion that I've left two years ago without a word.

I wonder what would my parents say if they see me back in the house.
Probably no one would be in the house given their busy schedule.

Im Tiffany Hwang Miyoung.
But i prefer to be called as Tiffany Hwang and not my Korean name for some unnamed reasons.
My family business line would be law.
I've a really smart elder sister, name Stephanie Hwang Mieun.
My parents loved her a lot for her intelligence and now, she's the heir of my parents' law firm.

Sounds great huh?
But thanks to my sister, im able to study whatever i want.
Like this, violin.

I can't describe how much im in love with my violin.
It is just that i simply can't live without it.
As years got past, i've grew attached to my violin.

Believe it or not,
the current violin and the violin that i've been carrying to and fro for performances,
are my one and only first violin.

It stayed for years with me.
Feelings are there.
I can't possibly throw my baby aside and buy a new better one, isn't it?

Walking into the quiet mansion,
i knew.
I knew that no one was there.
Tugging my luggage back up in my room and leaving it there,
i put on a military cap and scarf before leaving the cold quiet mansion again.

Walking down the busy streets of Seoul, 
watching old couples, young couples or even kiddy little couples together.
It made me feel so sour inside.

If i didn't shout at Jessi that day,
we would have been like them.

Got past a musical instrument shop,
immediately like a magnet, i was attracted to it.
Pushing the door open, a bell rang at the top of the door.

"Welcome!" 

The staff there were really warm and welcoming.
It was cold out there, since Christmas is approaching in two weeks time.

I was walking around,
browsing through the violins and an violin caught my attention.

••••••••••••••
flashback;;
••••••••••••••

–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–
"Hey Jessi"
"Can we go in and take a look?"

I was walking along the streets of our neighbourhood in Seoul.
Any instrument shop would have caught my attention and without hesitating,
i would be sure to enter and browse through the shop,
especially the violins.

I've wanted to buy a violin after i've grown my interest in it.
But there was this violin, that i couldn't afford at that age and my parents refused to buy it for me.
They regarded violin as a useless interest.

"Sure Tiff"

Jessi was being so sweet.
She was a science lover and not once a music lover.
But nevertheless, she had always accompanied me to shop through the instruments shop,
and never once let out a yawn of boredom.

"See anything you like, Tiff?"

I nodded with a shy smile as i pointed over to the violin that was hung high up in the store.

"Do you want to buy it?"

I shook my head sadly.

"It's expensive"
"My parents don't want to buy it for me"

"How about i'll buy it for you?"

Jessi was about to call for the sales assistant when i managed to pull her hand back in time.

"Are you crazy?"
"Spending your parents of a whooping 5,000,000 won for me?"
"On a stupid violin?!"

Jessi frowned as she lowered her hand and held onto my hand tightly.

"It is not a stupid violin as long as you love it Tiff"
"Besides, it is just 5,000,000 won isnt it?"
"I'll be able to earn back more than 5,000,000 won for them in future"

"Thats in future Jessi"
"I know how strict your parents are"
"If they were to find out, you're gonna have a hard time"

Despite that, Jessi smiled to me.

"Worth it if it's for you"
"Isn't it?"

"No!"
"That's pure dumbness!"
"It's okay, let's go for dinner now"

I told Jessi not to buy it for me.
A whooping 5,000,000 won is like around $5000USD.
That was far too much.
In the end, i had her dragged out of the store before her impulse take over her.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"
"It might be gone the next time you want to buy it"

I shook my head firmly although my heart is calling out for the instrument badly.

"There will be better ones in future"
–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–

•••••••••••••••••••••••
end of flashback;;
•••••••••••••••••••••••

An elderly old man then approached me with his heartwarming smile.
It made me feel like, being served by such a warm elderly old man was a blessing.

"Im sorry, but this violin has been reserved"
"Are you looking for any particular model or brand?"

I shook my head and smile.

"Im just looking around"

"Oh, you know"
"Christmas is around the corner and our shop has came up with a new service in liase with this happy season"

"Yup?"

"If you buy any instrument from our shop and wants to present it as a gift"
"We can have it engraved some words or characters for you"
"And have it coated in silver or gold"
"For free"

"Sounds like a great idea, haraborji"
"But im so sorry, i still don't want to buy a new violin yet"
"I can't bear to part with my current one"

The old man nodded his head and smiled at me.

"I understand'
"A real musician will not easily abandon his or her instrument for a new and better one"
"Feel free to browse around though"
"You might find something you like"

"Thank you"

I replied the elderly with my eye smile before walking around the shop.
I was standing outside a classroom in that shop when i overheard the conversation inside.

"Why are you so stupid?!"
"I've taught you numerous times yet you still can't get it and even broke the strings of your violin!"

The voice were filled with anger and frustration.
I took a peep into the room and saw a girl with light brown coloured hair,
heads down with a bleeding finger.

It seems like her teacher was kinda unsatisfied with her performance.
Tiffany sighed silently and shook her head sadly.

"I've had enough of you, Kim Taeyeon!"
"Im leaving, go get yourself a new violin teacher!"

I gasped at the teacher's remark.
No matter how slow a student can get, how can she scold her student like that?
To be honest, i was a little mad at the teacher.

I stomped into the room and glared at that teacher.

"How could you scold your student like this?!"
"She might be slow, but you as the teacher should teach her patiently and not demoralise her confidence like that?!"
"Did you know how long it takes to build up the tiny bit of confidence and how easy it is to break them down in a few seconds?!"
"Or even with just that few words coming out of your mouth?!"

The teacher's mouth dropped open, wide and big.

"You've totally ruined the reputation of a violin teacher!"
"Or as an overall, a music teacher!"
"You've totally forgotten about the ethnics of being one!"

"Excuse me, young lady!"
"Who are you to speak that way to me?!"
"Do you know where you stand?!"

"Of course i do!"
"I hate to see people like you, being all so mighty and such just because you know how to play the violin"
"Violinist are for people full of grace"
"Look at you!"
"Not a single bit of grace i've seen!"

"Is that so?!"
"Do you want to have a challenge to see who is better at violin playing?!"

I chuckled at her ignorance.

"My dearest teacher, i don't think you would want to know who am i"
"Neither would you want to hear me play"
"But then, if you need a job as a violin teacher again, do not hesitate to contact me"

I said to her, in a sacarstic manner as i chucked a namecard of mine into her pocket.
Looking at her face, i wanted to laugh out loud.
It was burning red with anger.

"So, i don't think the student wants to learn from you anymore"
"I don't think you would wanna stay here any longer, right?"

The teacher was so fuming mad that she stormed off within seconds.
Turning my head to Taeyeon, i smiled and took out a plaster and tissues from my bag.

Sitting down beside her,
i can sense the sadness inside her.

"Hey, Taeyeon-sshi"
"Don't mind what she had said alright?"
"It is okay to be slow, but as long as you're trying"
"You're fine"

I said to Taeyeon, cleaning the blood off her bleeding fingers before taping the plaster around it.

"Here, you're good to go"

Taeyeon sat there, watching me with a lost expression.

"What's wrong?"
"Are you still hurt somewhere else?"

I was concerned for this girl called Taeyeon.
She looked really pitiful.

Then within seconds,
tears started pouring out of her eyes.

"What's wrong?"
"Why are you crying?"

"You.."
"You've chased.. my teacher away.."
"Who is going.. to teach me.."
"I want.. to learn.. violin..!" 
"I cant.. afford another.. one.."
"Appa.. doesn't want to.. pay for.. my violin.. lesson.." 

Taeyeon whined and sobbed bitterly.
I had to admit i was feeling kinda guilty.
Thought for a moment, i went out of the room and came back with a new pack of violin strings,
as well as the strings cutter and winder.

I sat down quietly and changed the strings for her violin.
From the first touch, i knew her violin was old.
But nevertheless, she had it kept so nicely and well maintained.

"Where did you get your violin?"

"I bought.. it.."
"With my allowance.. from the.. second-hand.. instrument.. shop.." 

I smiled and shook my head at her silliness.

"Come on Taeyeon-sshi"
"Stop crying, i'll teach you violin for free"
"Okay?"

Hearing those words,
Taeyeon's eyes immediately lit up with happiness.

"Really?!"

"Yup"

For some reasons, i felt a little guilty towards Jessi.
I've just agreed to teach someone just like that.
When i've neglected Jessi so so much and didn't even want to teach her when she wanted to.
Just because she promised me, promised that she would try to understand my interest and do it with me,
she wanted to pick up violin but i refused to teach.
But now?

"So come on up now, alright?"
"Stop crying, i'll be here the same time tomorrow to teach you"

"Thank you so much!"

Taeyeon looked really thankful and happy as she picked up her violin with care,
and slowly slit it into her worn out violin case,
leaving Tiffany in the room smiling to herself at Taeyeon's cuteness.

Just then, 
the elderly old man came into the room with a worried expression.

"What is wrong?"
"That teacher doesn't want to teach here anymore"

Tiffany nodded guiltily.

"I told her off haraborji"
"I don't think she is suited to even be a music teacher"

"Why?"

"She scolded a student because of she couldn't learn as fast as she should be"
"It doesnt matter if it is a light scolding haraborji, she scolded her stupid and such"
"I don't it is appropriate, as a teacher"

Haraborji nodded his head sadly.

"But we don't have any more teachers for the moment"
"And what will happen to all her current students?"
"It is really hard to find a teacher during this season"

I thought for it for a moment and smile.

"I'll help you haraborji"
"But you have to keep searching for a new teacher"
"As long as you've found a new teacher, i'll leave"
"Since it was my fault that she had left"

"Really?!"

I nodded.

"Tiffany Hwang imnida" 

I stretched out my hand for a handsake,
to my formal introduction.

"Tiffany Hwang..?"
"Are you Tiffany Hwang.. Mi-"

"It's okay, Tiffany Hwang will do, haraborji"

"Oh my god!"
"You're the talented violinist!"
"What an honor!"

"Shh.."
"Haraborji, i would appreciate you not to tell anyone"
"Because i can't risk my job"
"My company will come after me if they knew what i am doing now"

Haraborji nodded understandingly and smile.

"Arasso"
"I'll see you soon"
"Tomorrow, i guess?"
"Okay, i'll be here!"

•••••••••••••
next day;;
•••••••••••••

Jessica's POV

Walking down the building with a bunch of files in my hands,
and an opened one with my eyes fixed on the words.
Next, a satisfied grin was plastered over my face as I knocked on the door before entering it.

"Sooyoung"
"Look at this"

I entered the room,
only to see a messy table and a few cups of emptied instant noodles.

"If only Seohyun sees this"
"You're in for a lecture"
"And for goodness sake, it is only early in the morning!"
"Look at the number of emptied cups you have here!"

Sooyoung rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Now you're here to question me on my eating habits?"
"Look at Yoona, she's not too far off from me either!"

Turning to the other side of the room,
i chuckled.

Yoona's head was on the table with her hands still holding onto the chopsticks but had fallen asleep.

"Sleepyhead" 

I muttered with a smile.

"So what brings you here, our mighty forensic hero?"

"Stop it Soo"
"Im not whatever forensic hero"
"And here are the reports as well as the pathologist's"

Sooyoung quickly grabbed it over from Jessica's hands and read it.
Within minutes, Sooyoung put up a thumbs up sign.

"You're good"
"Why are you so smart?"

"Why do i have to explain my smartness?

I simply couldn't understand why are they always asking the same question after my every prediction of a new case.

"The deceased victim really got drove over by the driver"
"But it just simply went under the vehicle and not over the wheels"
"That explains why the deceased victim weren't crushed"
"However, the body had third and second degree of burns from the hot engine underneath it"
"Look at that"

I pointed to the photos taken by the pathologist and attached to the file.
Within a look, Sooyoung slammed the file shut.

"That was gross"
"I almost threw up my noodles"
"And if i did, what a waste it would be"

"Gosh, Sooyoung"
"If only one day, one day you can stop talking about food"
"The pigs will fly, you know that?"

"Shut up"
"You're jealous because you can't eat as much as i can"
"Look at that pig there"
"She slept right immediately after her 3 cups of instant noodles!"

"You two are not much difference Soo"
"So get over with it"

"Fine"
"So have you found out who the driver was?"

"Our search had been narrowed down to a few thanks to those evidences"
"We are sure it's within one of them"
"It is now your turn to investigate and produce the justice everyone was waiting for"

"Right"
"Thanks"

"Anyway, have you submitted the previous case to have that sick guy arrested?"

Sooyoung chuckled.

"I think you would be better off"
"Being the prosecutor than me Sica"
"Of course i did!"
"And for your info, he had been arrested and i think"
"Serving his very first or second daily of an eight year jail sentence?"

"Great"
"Serve him right"

"By the way, are you going for a shopping or what?"

I threw her a puzzled look and shook my head.

"Hell no"
"Why ask?"

"Oh, the bags under your eyes"
"I thought you're going to use it for shopping later"
"Recycle bags, you know"

"YAH CHOI SOOYOUNG!"
"I was working hard for you last night!"

Sooyoung burst into laughters and held her hand up.

"Alright alright"
"I was just kidding okay?"
"Learn from Yoona, look"
"She was working hard last night and now she's catching her sleep"

"Yeah right"
"Anyway, you go and have lunch with Yoona later"
"Count me out, alright?"

"Why?"
"Secret date huh?"

I hissed at Sooyoung annoyed.
Her jokes are really getting on my nerves.

"Im going to get something that i've ordered!"

"Okay fine fine!"
"Go go go"
"Im not stopping you!"

Right after that,
i've went out of Sooyoung's office and went back to my laboratory to grab my handbag.

••••••••••••••
flashback;;
••••••••••••••

–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–
My phone was ringing while i was summing up all the laboratory machine test reports.
Picking it up and fiddling with the papers noisily,
I put my papers down when i've heard who is the person calling from.

"Yoboseyo"

"Anyeonghaseyo"
"Im calling from Gracelin Handcrafted"

"Oh, right"
"What's wrong?"

I slowly put down the papers as i sat down on the tall stool.

"The order you've made 6 months ago"
"It is ready for collection now"
"Sorry for calling at such a late timing because we only had time now"

"Oh sure"
"It's fine no problem since im still at work"
"How about tomorrow afternoon?"
"I'll collect it tomorrow afternoon"

"Tomorrow afternoon sounds great"
"And just a gentle reminder, please remember to bring the remaining half of 3,250,000 won of payment"

"Okay sure"
"I'll see you"

It is done.
Like finally, but would i even have a chance to gift it to Tiff?
Will she accepts it?
Doubts after doubts, questions after questions.
–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–

•••••••••••••••••••••••
end of flashback;;
•••••••••••••••••••••••

Arriving at the store, 
I took a deep breath before walking into the shop.

"Welcome!"

I bowed slightly to the sales assistant and proceeded to counter straight away.

"Hey, im here to collect my violin"

"Oh, you're here"
"Give me a minute, i'll get it for you"

While waiting, there was this familiar music being played.
Of course, by the violin.
It reminded me of Tiff..
The person playing it sounded far too much like Tiff.
But how can it be?
She flew off to LA already..

Walking over to the source of sound,
i took a peep at the close room door.
It was her.
Really her.
The person i've been wanting to see, hug and touch for the past two years.

The girl must be really special that Tiff is teaching her.
Tiff, it must be great to have found someone with the same interest as you and being together.
Right?

Guess this violin that im collecting has got no worth now.
Probably i'll gift it to you in future if i get the chance to?

••••••••••••••
flashback;;
••••••••••••••

–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–
"Tiff, can you please teach me how to play too?"

"Jessi, you don't even have a violin"
"Plus, you're not at all interested in it"
"Why do you have to insist on learning it?"

"Can't you lend me yours?"

I pouted sadly.

"I can, but i see no meaning in teaching when you're not interested in it"

But you told me..
And i promised that i'll try hard.
You're denying me now?
–«»––«»––«»––«»––«»–

•••••••••••••••••••••••
end of flashback;;
•••••••••••••••••••••••

"Here is your violin"
"Please double check it before making your last payment"

"Thanks"

I opened up the violin with a heavy heart.
Bringing it up under the light and observed the fine handcrafted violin.
Over the side of the violin, i even had a requested to engrave 'Tiffany Hwang 티파니 황' on it.
Of course, with a layer of silver coating.

I knew Tiff didn't like anyone to call her by her Korean name.
That's why i didn't include it.

"I think it is good"
"Thanks, here"

I said as i put the violin back and passed the sales person my credit card.

"Hey Jessi"
"Can we go in and take a look?"

I was walking along the streets of our neighbourhood in Seoul.
Any instrument shop would have caught my attention and without hesitating,
i would be sure to enter and browse through the shop,
especially the violins.

I've wanted to buy a violin after i've grown my interest in it.
But there was this violin, that i couldn't afford at that age and my parents refused to buy it for me.
They regarded violin as a useless interest.

"Sure Tiff"

Jessi was being so sweet.
She was a science lover and not once a music lover.
But nevertheless, she had always accompanied me to shop through the instruments shop,
and never once let out a yawn of boredom.

"See anything you like, Tiff?"

I nodded with a shy smile as i pointed over to the violin that was hung high up in the store.

"Do you want to buy it?"

I shook my head sadly.

"It's expensive"
"My parents don't want to buy it for me"

"How about i'll buy it for you?"

Jessi was about to call for the sales assistant when i managed to pull her hand back in time.

"Are you crazy?"
"Spending your parents of a whooping 5,000,000 won for me?"
"On a stupid violin?!"

Jessi frowned as she lowered her hand and held onto my hand tightly.

"It is not a stupid violin as long as you love it Tiff"
"Besides, it is just 5,000,000 won isnt it?"
"I'll be able to earn back more than 5,000,000 won for them in future"

"Thats in future Jessi"
"I know how strict your parents are"
"If they were to find out, you're gonna have a hard time"

Despite that, Jessi smiled to me.

"Worth it if it's for you"
"Isn't it?"

"No!"
"That's pure dumbness!"
"It's okay, let's go for dinner now"

I told Jessi not to buy it for me.
A whooping 5,000,000 won is like around $5000USD.
That was far too much.
In the end, i had her dragged out of the store before her impulse take over her.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"
"It might be gone the next time you want to buy it"

I shook my head firmly although my heart is calling out for the instrument badly.

"There will be better ones in future"

Tiffany's POV

"Look Taeyeon"
"You have to play it this way, a little slower"
"This note means you have to play it slower"

Taeyeon was nodding her head at my instructions attentively while i played the same melody for her again and again,
hoping that she will be able to get the gist of the whole note.

While i was playing, 
there was this voice that caught my attention.
It was her, isn't it?

That sweet angelic voice.

"I think it is good"
"Thanks, here"

Is it really her?
I set my violin down and turned to the door.

"Fany!"
"Where you going?"

Taeyeon called out to me.

"Just a minute Taeyeon"

I ran out of the room,
but it was too late.

The figure whom i've always wanted to see had left.
I was sure it was Jessi.

"Haraborji"
"Who was that just now?"

"Who?"
"Ah, you mean that agasshi"
"She came here 6 months ago and ordered a handcrafted violin"
"She wasn't really sure what does she want"
"So instead, she had it described to us really well and told us that it was a violin someone important to her wanted it"
"But they couldn't afford and now, she has a own money and wants to buy it yet she can't find it anymore"

"What is her name?"

"Jessica.. Jung?"

It is her..
Jessi, you didnt forget me, did you?
The violin, it was us.

"Can i have her contact number haraborji?"
"Please?"

"Im sorry, but that defies the rule of our sales"
"We can't disclose our customer's particulars"
"Telling you her name is already inappropriate"

I let out a disappointed sigh.

"Will she be coming back?"

"I don't think so"
"She has her own regular violin store to patronise"

I was disappointed.
Utterly disappointed.

"Haraborji.."
"If it comes a day when she returns"
"Can you pass her my number and tell her it is someone really important to her"
"Tell her to call me"

"Sure"

Jessi, don't make me lose you again like this.
I missed you, just by that spilt second.
My heart tells me it is you.

Please.

Taeyeon's POV

Fany is so sweet.
To teach me violin for free and she is really patient!

YEEEHAAAAA.

She had even gifted me a free violin case and it looks pretty!
Pweettyyy!

"Can you pass her my number and tell her it is someone really important to her"
"Tell her to call me"

Who is that that is so important to her?!
I want Fany to myself!
I love Fany Fany!
Love at first sight!

"Fany, what happened?"

Fany entered the classroom with a dejected view.

"Taeyeon, im sorry"
"But i think the lesson for today will stop now"
"Im not feeling very well now"

Fany was picking up her bag and packing up her violin.
Slinging it over her shoulders, Fany walked out of the classroom and store listlessly.

A/N: Conversations are in BLUE, flashbacks conversations are in TURQUOISE while the conversations being overheard will be in LIGHT BLUE.
Okay, here's the second chapter updated.
Next chapter will have the meeting of Yuri and Jessica.
Don't rush me and the story will look perfect because i want them to slowly and naturally meet each other.

Taeyeon is a little childish in this story.
Because she's too dorky.
Now what?

Taeyeon love Tiffany at first sight.
Yuri fell in love with Tiffany in LA after several collaboration.

What is going to happen then?
