He realized that she finished the song. Upon the ending of the piece, he opened his eyes slowly and glanced at her. He clapped his hand for a moment while smiling. “Can I say that I am your number 1 fan already?“ He laughed and shook his head. “Anyway, how was your first few days in the academy?” He tilted his head as he asked her.
Jieun looked down at her lap as he clapped, she was never used to people listening or liking anything she did apart from her parents. She looked back up and smiled at how nice he was being to her. “I like here, a lot already.“ She smiled and nodded, more to herself than to him. “I-I’m a second year student on the science program. H-How about you?” She hadn’t spoken this much to anyone and so, her stuttering started to appear again.
His mind suddenly went blank. “Ohh. I think I forgot.” He laughed at himself, how silly, he thought. “I am a 3rd year Student. Science program also.” He smiled sheepishly. “I am really glad to know that you are liking it here. It’s an honor to see you in here, to be very honest.” He chuckled. “And, if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to approach me.”
