He had lost the count of his attempts; wondering if his fingers were the problem or the music sheets he had found that morning.

"Hush, Hongjoong.
Close your eyes now.
Buckwheats will be waiting,
For you to go and dance with them.
Hush Hongjoong..." Hongjoong sang to himself with his eyes closed.

He took a deep breath and tried again.

"AUGH!"

But the result was the same.
He hit the keys aggressively which made a loud sound that echoed in the room.

"What does that piano ever did to you, Dear?"
Seonghwa asked from where he was standing the whole time, watching Hongjoong from the doorway.

"It's been a ling time since i played-"

It took him a few moments to realize who he had responded to.

he sprang from the chair and bowed. "Good morning Mr. Park. Sorry i didn't notice you."

Seonghwa bowed too. "No I'm sorry for disturbing you. I just heard the piano and suddenly found myself here..."

An awkward silence filled the room. Hongjoong was so embarrassed that he decided to remain in his bowed position.

"Are you okay Mr. Kim?"

"What...?" He slowly remembered how Seonghwa addressed him a few moments ago.

"What?"

"What did you just...?"

"What did i?" Seonghwa began to feel worried as if he done something wrong.

"Dear."

"WHAT?" He almost shouted.

"You called me..." now he was looking straight into Seonghwa's eyes.

"Oh! Aaaaah!" He felt relieved and embarrassed at the same time as he found out what Hongjoong was talking about.

"My mother used to say that to me whenever i got pissed at my piano lessons." Seonghwa scratched his head.

That awkward silence again...

"Do you-"
"Where did-"

"Ah sorry. you go first." Seonghwa said.

"Yes...umm...do you mind playing something? Since you mentioned you used to take piano lessons." Hongjoong asked and stared at him, waiting for his reply.

There was still a pile of documents that he had to read, on the other hand, San was supposed to come back that day, basically he was on his duty.

But...how could he refuse?
