14th December, Brussels Centre for Fine Arts
The finals were here for Seokhoon. After Rona's finals they decided to go out and celebrate with a nice dinner for all four of them. Afterwards, Rona told Seokhoon to focus on his finals, after that they could spend time as a couple once it was all over.
The order for the finalists were also similar to the Voice category, it was decided based on the scores from the semi finals. Seokhoon was the 9th person to perform (meaning he scored the 5th best). He was wearing a formal suit with a bow tie. The finalists for the piano category had to play two pieces consecutively. They would first present their new work piece followed by a classical piece of their choosing. They would be someone known as a page-turner, who would assist them in turning their music score for them.

Rona was nervously waiting in the audience for Seokhoon's turn. She knew he was always constant in his playing, as long as he played well, she believed that he would place into the top 6. After a long wait, it was finally Seokhoon's turn.
He walked onto the stage, bowed to the conductor and the audience and sat down. Seokhoon first played the piece that he wrote. As he began to play, Rona knew what his piece was about. She could feel love coming from the piece, somehow instinctively she knew he wrote about her. As he continued to play, her heart began to swell. If it was possible, she had fallen even deeper in love with this man. Rona knew that apart from music and his family, Seokhoon always had Rona first in his thoughts. Rona was in awe and yet inspired by Seokhoon the more she heard him play. After he finished his new work, he moved to the 2nd segment of his performance which was a classical piece.
Almost an hour or more after Seokhoon began, he was near the end. The important thing about the final was that musicians really needed not only good concentration but stamina as they played for an hour or more. Seokhoon started to train for longer periods of playing almost a month before the competition actually began.
Luckily, Seokhoon had a habit of exercising on a daily basis as well as practising for about 2 hours straight. So such a duration by now was fairly easy for Seokhoon to handle. He started off strong but he also ended in perfect condition. After he had ended, the three in the audience stood up and cheered Seokhoon's performance.
I think he will do well.
I agree, he will definitely either be placed from 5hth through to 3rd.
Rona smiled as the Professors discussed what Seokhoon's rank possibly would be. She also had a good feeling, Seokhoon was going to be 5th or higher. After another 4 hours more, all the finalists were finished and it was time to announce the top 6.
Rona felt probably more nervous for Seokhoon compared to when she was waiting for her result. The 6th place and 5th place were announced, Rona was really worried that the higher the order went the lower the chances Seokhoon had of placing. Just then Seokhoon's name was called, he had placed 4th! Rona jumped for joy, and Prof James sighed in relief. He really hoped that Seokhoon had placed and thank goodness he did. Looks like Seokhoon and Rona were a great pair, both had placed at the same position.
This really shows what is in it for Seokhoon and Rona's future. They were definitely rising stars, now they just had to keep the momentum going.
