The jazz player finished up soon after - having played and sung for over 2 hours - and his biggest fans were not slow to show their appreciation of his skills and efforts, which he was clearly glad to hear.  Ciara and he had exchanged contact details and he stopped by their table, briefly, to chat, before goodbyes were exchanged and he left them to their drinks.

'Lovely guy - super talented.  Speaking of talent, I hope you congratulated Seon-jae on his playing tonight, Hye-won?'

Ciara sat back and looked between them, a smirk of devilment on her face.  Hye-won's mouth was getting away from her but she sucked her cheeks in for a moment, before answering: 'sure I did, Ciara.  You told me his playing was...great.'

'Yeah, that's what I said...great.'

Seon-jae looked from 1 to the other - in bemused amusement - knowing full well that there was more going on here, than musical appreciation.  He caught Hye-won's eye and she wordlessly told him - I'll tell you when we are alone - and that was fine for him, for now.  Dieter seemed delighted that Hye-won looked so well and told her a few times, even seeking Seon-jae's opinion: 'yes, really, you look completely healthy...wonderful, doesn't she, Seon-jae?'

Seon-jae looked at his soul-mate and saw exactly what Dieter was seeing - a healthy gloss to hair, eyes, teeth, skin, her whole make-up just glowing with vitality - and he answered Dieter in a far-away voice, completely engrossed in his love: 'really...wonderful.'  Too good for me, for sure.

Hye-won looked back at him, seeing the adoration in his eyes and felt captivated by it.  That look of love does for me every single time.  In-seo saw how it was between the 2 and distracted Dieter by saying something to him and the couple just relaxed into each other's adoring gaze, as the world shrank away.  

Not long after - drinks finished - everyone made a move towards the bedrooms, Ciara teasing In-seo as they walked to the lifts: 'fab as you were, darling, I'll be glad to be back singing with my bestie, right, girl?' and they were all still laughing at her cute nonsense when the lift arrived.

The others exited the lift on the second floor but Hye-won's and Seon-jae's double room was on the sixth, so they waved their friends off, with promises to meet at breakfast and a quick wink from Ciara to Hye-won that Seon-jae clearly saw

As soon as the doors closed, he advanced on her, enclosing her in the corner, his wide shoulders shielding her from view of the CCTV cameras: 'my love, is Ciara trying to suggest that we are going to be doing more than reading before bed-time?' his low tone and extreme closeness playing havoc with her pulse.

'I don't know...why...do you have plans for me that I should know about?'

She revelled in the knowledge of how sexy he found her - especially dressed like this - and she let it show - in her confident stance, insouciant air, teasing smile, upward tilt of her chin, magnetic stare - and he revelled in her sexy playing.  With a muttered too sexy, he dropped his head to claim his kiss...just as the lift doors opened to admit 2 more guests, so he had to content himself with a quick grin, as he composed himself.
