Following the secretary's lead, he led them into the concert hall, giving them a quick tour of the place before escorting them to the main hall. When they arrived, on stage were the orchestra, the conductor and the Director waiting for them. Their managers took the lead and introduced Seokhoon and Rona to the conductor, orchestra master and Director. "It is a pleasure to welcome Mr Seokhoon and Mrs Rona to our company. It is indeed an honour to be working alongside two of the rising stars in the classical world." The director announced loudly.
"Thank you for the kind welcome, on behalf of my wife and I, we are both looking forward to working with all of you. Rona and I are still younglings in the classical world, so we hope to learn for each and every single one of you. Please don't hesitate to correct us when you think we are making errors, we wish to continue to sharpen and hone our craft." After Seokkhoon's words, everyone applauded. Rona turned to bow to every single person, she tried her best to make eye contact with as many people as possible. Seokhoon shook the conductor's hand, "I look forward to performing beside you, sir."
Soon rehearsals were on the way, Seokhoon and Rona had a total of 4 songs each to perform, they would be performing 2 songs together. Rona went first, since she had warmed up her voice at home, it did not take long before she signaled the conductor that she was ready to begin. Seokhoon was sitting in the first row of the concert hall, watching Rona. When Rona began to sing, her voice rang out - clear and yet strong, she sang with emotions, treating the reherseral like the real thing. Seokhoon smiled as he listened to her sing, Rona was always beautiful to him but there was indeed something special whenever Rona performed on stage. Something just switched, with her voice, her presence on stage, Rona was a beautiful angel. One of Rona's nicknames was the Angel, many people felt they were transported to a tranquil place whenever Rona began to sing.
After Rona finished her two songs, the director who was sitting beside Seokhoon stood up and applauded her. Rona bowed in thanks, Seokhoon caught a tiny wink she threw at him. She went over to the conductor and exchanged a few words before she made her way down the stage. Now it was Seokhoon's turn, before he went up the stage, he quickly kissed his wife on the cheeks and whispered 'I love you'. Seokhoon had already warmed up his fingers in the morning, he did a quick warm up routine after which he signaled he was ready to start.
Seokhoon began playing, Rona's eyes were fixed on her husband, when she saw the way his fingers moved and how each note was so clear it reminded her again that her husband was a truly gifted pianist. Seokhoon always worked hard every day, practicing and making sure he memorised all the music. Seokhoon's slender fingers grazed the white piano keys, Rona thoughts suddenly drifted to the other things Seokhoon finger's have done to her. She began to feel herself blush, she quickly shook herself stopping the thoughts.
Seokhoon was soon finished with his rehearsal, Rona joined him back on stage. No words were needed to be exchanged between the two, Rona closed her eyes and folded her hands over her chest, she took a breath and her first note was the same first note as Seokhoon's piano. Seokhoon knew what her signal was, when she would start singing. He coordinated with the conductor when to begin playing. It was evident to the Director that the two of them really worked well together, perhaps it is a good idea to make them perform as a duo more often. Rona's voice paired with Seokhoon's soft but steady playing married together, they were a fantastic pair.
After the final song, the orchestra stood up and applauded the two, the two holding hands bowed and thanked the orchestra, the conductor and later turned to face the director who was standing applauding them. The two spend the next 20 minutes or so going through the tiny details of the music, exchanging notes and advice with the orchestra. After a 2 hour rehearsal, they said their goodbyes to the staff and left the concert hall with their manager.
