She walked in through the entry door and all eyes fell upon her. She wore a wine red dress that fell just below her heels, her shoulders exposed. It was a gift from Suryeon, probably the most beautiful gift she had ever received. Her hair was half up-half down, the style that suited her best, and she wore matching silver diamond earrings and a necklace. To say she was a visionary was an understatement.

Clark Lee had decided to throw a party to celebrate the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra concert and had invited the members of Hera Club and had specially invited Rona and Eunbyeol, hearing they were both in the running to be Cheong A Arts Center's resident musician. He wanted to meet them both personally and Rona was excited to meet him in person.

She made her way to her table where the other Hera Club kids were waiting for her. She stood next to Jeni and greeted her and Minhyuk, pretending not to notice the other two at first. She casually made eye contact with Eunbyeol who was glaring at her fiercely and next to her was Seokhoon who was also looking at her but with no emotion. He quickly looked away when their gaze met.

"I thought this table was reserved for only the children of Hera Club," Eunbyeol sniffed. "Not children of former members."

Rona rolled her eyes. She already started.

"Watch your mouth," Jeni snapped. "Ahjumma was a member of Hera Club before."

"Was." Eunbyeol repeated, smirking.

Rona would have choked her but she was used to it by now. Making digs at her mother's death, which Eunbyeol herself was involved in anyways, seemed to be this girl's favorite pastime.

She ignored her and steered the conversation away as contributing to it would only result in her hands around Eunbyeol's neck.

"It's great Clark Lee is giving us a chance to be in the musical," she said. Clark was now involved in the competition to find Cheong A's resident musician and he had suggested they do a musical to allow the contestants to demonstrate who had the best range of expressions while singing.

"I know, right?" Minhyuk added. "I can't believe Clark chose me for the male lead part."

Rona smiled at him; she was playing the female lead and had lots of scenes with him, which had strengthened their friendship.

She could see Seokhoon's hand tense out of the corner of her eye and had to hold back a smirk.

"It doesn't matter who gets what part," Eunbyeol cut in with a haughty voice. "What matters is performance and acting ability. Something only the best trained can master in a competition like this."

"It's good you know you have competition," Rona shot back. "One would think it's already decided that you're the winner by the way you speak."

"What does that mean?" Eunbyeol flared, her shoulders tensing.

"Make sure your mother doesn't try anything," Rona stepped forward. "It would feel horrible to participate in an unfair competition."

"Watch your mouth," Eunbyeol snapped. "My mother would never rig the competition for me. Everyone knows I can win with my own talent."

"How?" Rona tilted her head innocently. "By taking drugs before every performance? Even though you usually end up having hallucinations and lose your mind?"

"Shut up," Eunbyeol warned, her eyes becoming dangerous.

"I'd hate for what happened last time to repeat," Rona leaned closer, whispering now. "You almost killed me when you took drugs last time, Ha Eunbyeol. Do me a favor and don't do it again. What will happen if you kill me for real this time?"
