The Penthouse I

Episode 2.0 Beat

"Cheon Seo Jin, I'm done...running away." Yoon Hee said.

"Get out of my office right now."

Oh Yoon Hee attacked Seo Jin using the trophy and pointed it to her neck each of their daughters were shocked.

"You will never beat me. The fake winner, Cheon Seo Jin. You're just a darned thief." Yoon Hee said.

"Mom, I'll go get the guards." Ha Eun Byeol said.

"There's no need. Have you lost your mind? What are you doing in front of the kids? I see you still like joking around with the trophy like that. You haven't changed a bit." Seo Jin said and pushed the trophy.

"Do you think I'm joking right now? Even after seeing this?" Yoon Hee said while showing her neck.

FLASHBACK...

Seo Jin slit Yoon Hee's neck with the trophy.

END OF FLASHBACK...

"I guess you want your daughter to take lessons from me. But I'm fully booked. And I don't intend on getting involved with you again. If you understood, can you leave now?" Seo Jin said.

"Who said I'll let my daughter take lessons from you? Who knows what you'll do to my precious daughter?" Yoon Hee said laughing.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ro Na said.

"No matter how exceptional your lessons are, to me, you're nothing. My daughter Ro Na will be accepted fairly based on her talent. As long as you don't interfere." Yoon Hee said.

"You're just a delusional woman with an inferiority complex. Get out now before I call the police for obstruction of business." Seo Jin said.

"I'll be back...to take back my trophy. I came...to tell you that. Let's go, Ro Na." As Yoon Hee put the trophy in the piano harshly and they left.

"Mom, who is that lady? How can she be so rude?" Eun Byeol said.

"We went to the same high school. She's just upset I refused to teach her daughter. She was like that since high school. She's become even more twisted. It's okay. Things like this happen all the time." Seo Jin said.

"Will that lady's daughter apply for Cheong Ah Arts High School too?"

"That will never happen! She's not talented enough. She's just being cocky. Eun Byeol, you can enter Cheong Ah Arts High School...in first place, right?"

"First place?"

"You need to come in first place...to sing a solo at the entrance ceremony. Your grandpa will be there, and I also invited famous singers from abroad for you. I'm sure Seok Kyung did well on her midterms. You need to do better in the performance test to beat her."

"I will beat her. I want to beat her like crazy too."

"I tried my best to make you the best. Do you know how many kids grow up without receiving any support? Your grandpa is the director of Cheong Ah Arts High School. You were born with a free pass to enter...the most prestigious university. Do you know how big of a privilege that is?"

"I do." Eun Byeol said nervously.

"You must practice. Sing, and keep singing until you make it work. Memorize the whole music sheet inside your head. Sing until you fall asleep and even in your dreams. If Seok Kyung sings 100 times, you need to sing 200 times. That's how you will beat her. Start practicing."
