Seyong frown at the sight of Hyo Jin with Miss Jean. "What are you doing here? Following me?" he challenge.

"What the hell is up with this dude? Following you? Excuse me? Do I look that pathetic to you? I got better things to do too" Hyo Jin respond to Seyong accusations.

Miss Jean clapped her hand "This is amusing, since you guys know each other, it'll be easier for me to cooperate with both of you"

Amusing? if she know the real situation, this is not trivial matter. This is far from amusing to me.

"Ugh! Can't the romeo role play by other person teacher? Of all people in this school... why must it be him?"Hyo Jin questioned, pointing her finger in Seyong's direction.

Miss Jean shake her head, "Starting today, only the two of you will have private practice time with me, afterschool, every day except weekends, understand? Then on the last few days before festival we have practice with the other casts." Miss Jean drummed her finger lightly against the piano behind her.

"Romeo, can you play this? It'll be great advantage if you can play it." Miss Jean give head-up at Seyong.

"Yes, but please miss Jean, don't call me that. It's embarassing for me and chessy" Seyong grimace as he approach the piano.

Of course he can play that, I wondered, why a part of me want to punch Seyong and the other part wanted to caressed his well-kept black hair. No girl, he called you bitch yesterday.

Seyong started to pressed some of the key note and he began. Hyo Jin guess was true. Seyong did play River flows in you.

Seyong piano play always soothe Hyo Jin, for a little while Hyo Jin was swayed by the song.

Effortlessly, she moved and her hand automatically placed against the black and white key. She's playing it with Seyong.

Seyong on the other hand, smiled, completely forgotten about the early fight he had with Hyo Jin.

They played the piece together, this is us Seyong, I fall in love with you over again Hyo Jin felt blissful, leaning her head against Seyong's shoulder.

"When we're together, the world only belong to us"

Miss Jean grins at the sight before her. This is love, they love each other yet denied it, but why?

It finally comes to an end. Just then, both Seyong and Hyo Jin just realised that they we're sitting together. Too close for comfort. Hyo Jin flinched and back away, her cheeks as red as tomato.

Miss Jean got confused by the two's action. Just now they're completely fall in love with each other, what just happened? she thought and such a perfect time, the bell rang.

Hyo Jin grabbed her bag, bow to Miss Jean and rushed out of the auditorium.

Miss Jean patted Seyong's shoulder, who didn't made any move, he just stare at the piano before him.

"Don't hid it anymore Romeo, Juliet is yours, no matter how hard you tried to get rid of her. You couldn't be married to Cinderella" Miss Jean consolate, she then amble toward the exit.

"Don't forget to switch off the lights when you left Seyong" she said aloud and left, leaving Seyong alone.

"My heart, why at times like this you treat me like a total fool? I just had a fight with her and even call her names which in million years she don't deserve any of it" he mumur.

Seyong eyes shed tears, tears that haunted all his night.

I'm still deeply in love with you Hyo Jin, everynight, I couldn't easily ease myself with sleep, I regreted whatever I said to you, I tried to stop loving you, to vanished you from my mind. But whenever I see you, I fall over again, you extended your hand to me, to help me stand... but I refused to accept it, leaving me lying down, couldn't stand on my own. I'm the foolest here, not you, I'm sorry Hyo Jin.....

Hyo Jin's heart is thumping wild. "I wish.. that last note wasn't the end," she mumbled.

Later that day, another Gunwoo's habit, calling Hyo Jin and Hyo Jin still ignored it. Not bother to answer the latter calls.

She keep on re-viewing her pictures together with Seyong and she cry herself to sleep.

The next mornig, Gunwoo noticed Hyo Jin's puffy eyes "Ya- are you crying?" he questioned. Hyo Jin shake her head in denial.

"Don't lie to me Lee Hyo Jin, did anything happened yesterday?"

Hyo Jin heaved a sighed. The school felt so far to her, yesterday incident keep on replaying itself in her mind.

When the school is on reached, she went straight to her locker to take some of her textbooks. She opened the locker door and there lie before her a piece of paper;

'Let me love you for one more day'
