Myungsoo was really lucky to have this chance to hear her play again. “Thank you, in advance.“ He said lowly and continues to listen attentively. He closes his eyes to feel the song, how smooth and how lonely the song sounds like. He found himself smiling, uncertain why. He didn’t care if she doesn’t play the song like the original one. What matters is, he is enjoying it.She smiles a bit as he thanked her and continued to play, glancing quickly at him to find that his eyes were closed and gazed at his face, turning back to the piano only when she missed a note and puffed out her heated cheeks, focusing on the song. She too, closed her eyes, playing the song right until the end.
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.
He clapped his hand because of joy and enjoyment. He tapped his chin while thinking of a song to request. “Hmm, any song that you like or that you are comfortable with?“ He said while squinting his eyes. “I just really want to hear you play, that’s all.” He smiled afterwards.
She let out a nervous laugh and placed her hands gently on the piano keys. “I like playing Yiruma.“ She heated up a bit at his last comment, nodding a bit as she slowly began to play Kiss The Rain, her fingers missing a few notes out of nerves as she played.

He chuckled lowly. “No worries. You liked the macaroons?“ He puffed his cheeks. “Anyway, can you let me hear another song?” He showed her his puppy eyes, begging for that little request.
She nodded a little “I loved them" She goes to shake her head, too shy and nervous to play knowing that someone would be there watching and listening but one look at his puppy eyes made her nod, sighing a little in defeat as she puffed her cheeks out. “W-What song?“
He clapped his hand because of joy and enjoyment. He tapped his chin while thinking of a song to request. "Hmm, any song that you like or that you are comfortable with?” He said while squinting his eyes. “I just really want to hear you play, that’s all.” He smiled afterwards.
“I hope I can hear more of your piano skills some other time?” He grinned and he stepped inside the room, pulling her with him. He sat in the chair and smiled widely at her. "Nice to meet you, Jieun!“ He extended his hand to hers, waiting for a hand-shake.
"S-Sure..I guess..” She widened her eyes a little at the pull and sat next to him on the chair, staring down at his hand for a moment before slipping her small cool hand into his, shaking it briefly before retracting her hand again. “T-Thanks for the macaroons.“
He chuckled lowly. "No worries. You liked the macaroons?” He puffed his cheeks. “Anyway, can you let me hear another song?” He showed her his puppy eyes, begging for that little request.
“N-No!” He said in a bit high pitch. “I-I am sorry for that.. I mean, you can stay and play a little bit more? You play so well.“ He offered a warm smile to the other one. He let out a sigh before he decided to introduce himself. “I am Myungsoo, heard of my name before?” He tilted his head and let his eyes wander and recognize her face. He can’t remember seeing her face before. He was certain that this was the first time that they met. “And you are?“ He glanced down at her name plate and read it. “Ms. Song Jieun? J-Jieun?”
Her eyes widened at his almost-yell, flinching a little out of habit at the loud noise. She smiled shyly at his comments of her being able to play well and dipped her head to offer her thanks. “M-Myungsoo?“ She remembered back the box of macaroons she had found on her bed and smiled as she had finally been able to meet him in person. Nodding once more she offered back a warm smile. “N-Neh, I’m J-Jieun.”
“I hope I can hear more of your piano skills some other time?” He grinned and he stepped inside the room, pulling her with him. He sat in the chair and smiled widely at her. "Nice to meet you, Jieun!“ He extended his hand to hers, waiting for a hand-shake.
He opened the door discreetly, trying his best not to make noise. He popped his head and sneaked inside the room and saw a figure of a lady playing the piano. He then leaned his body against the door while watching the lady. “Must be bored or maybe feeling a bit sappy, this poor lady.” He stayed in his position as he doesn’t want to disturb the other student.
Jieun continued to play until the song had finished, her fingers gently pressing on the last note to make it last longer, opening her eyes as she gazed down at her hands. She stay sitting there for a few moments before fixing her hair, a figure catching the corner of her eye. She stood up quickly, stumbling a little and bowed, her cheeks heating up in embarrassment at the fact that someone had heard her play. She bowed once more and played with her fingers, keeping her gaze low.
“S-Sorry.”Jieun bit her lip, she had no idea who he was or why he was there but she assumed that she wasn’t supposed to be in the room. She gazed up slowly at the taller male, his dark hair and eyes contrasting with his pale skin as she took in his looks. She blinked slowly and lowered her gaze again.
“I-I’ll be leaving now.”
“N-No!” He said in a bit high pitch. “I-I am sorry for that.. I mean, you can stay and play a little bit more? You play so well.” He offered a warm smile to the other one. He let out a sigh before he decided to introduce himself. “I am Myungsoo, heard of my name before?” He tilted his head and let his eyes wander and recognize her face. He can’t remember seeing her face before. He was certain that this was the first time that they met. “And you are?” He glanced down at her name plate and read it. “Ms. Song Jieun? J-Jieun?”
Jieun had a free morning that day so she decided to roam the grounds of Gawngju High, she was determined to try hard in this school, it was her only chance to break out of her poor life she was unfortunately born in to. She thought about her parents and how much hard work they must be doing day…
Myungsoo was strolling around the campus, hoping he will bump into a student today and will gain new friendships. He was roaming around the hallway, thinking of nothing. His mind was blank while walking, letting his feet lead him somewhere. He knew he was in between somewhere and nowhere.
Upon strolling, his ears caught a sweet melody. Seems like a sound from a grand piano. Being a student who almost memorized the area, he assumed that the sound was coming from the music room. “Interesting.” He whispered to himself lowly and walked towards the room.
He opened the door discreetly, trying his best not to make noise. He popped his head and sneaked inside the room and saw a figure of a lady playing the piano. He then leaned his body against the door while watching the lady. “Must be bored or maybe feeling a bit sappy, this poor lady.” He stayed in his position as he doesn’t want to disturb the other student.
