Some days passed and here I am getting ready as usual. But what wasn't not usual is hoe I was picking my outfits. I usually go with the first thing that is comfortable for a long day at uni. But now I wanted to look prettier everyday.

I found myself putting on some light makeup and styling my hair beautifully. I don't know if I am doing this for Seokjin or just for myself. But either way, I do like it.

I feel guilty for not practicing as much lately and even abandoned most of my studies. My mind is just thinking about what is going on on the third floor of that building. But thank God that Seokjin keeps reminding me to study as well as helping me find out that weird mystery.

He mentioned at previous dates that he wants our relationship to be official. I really liked how serious he is but I asked him if we can delay that a bit. Maybe after graduation. I kinda still have trust issues and a bit scared.

Thankfully Seokjin was understanding and was willing to give me the time I needed.

I remember that I mentioned to him about that graduated student and his story about that fire in that room.

" Of course I heard about that fire. They said It was terrifying. Some students were burned there and they couldn't rescue them " Seokjin told me that day.

Everytime I remember what he told me I get goosebumps everywhere. Still what goes on the third floor keeps happening with other students. Did anyone have dreams like mine?

I didn't realize that I reached the campus and was standing in front of the old building till I heard a meow. I looked to where it was coming and saw a white cat. Was it the same one from before? It can't be ... They all look the same anyway.

I looked the other way and saw that Mr Chung was smiling at me. Everything seems normal at mornings. What if Mr Chung is a demon that changes back to his demonic form at midnight??
Oooh...I should stop watching horror movies , I am going insane.

I just went to my lectures. The day seemed boring without Seokjin. I tired focusing so I wouldn't feel how time passes, and I think it worked. The lectures ended and practice time was near.

I noticed that I didn't eat anything so I went to the cafeteria to get me a snack. Professor Ghim was there drinking her coffee. She smiled at me warmly as I got my sandwich. I went to greet her as she was so friendly to every student here. She offered me to have a seat with her and I accepted her offer happily. Seokjin wouldn't come until it was practice time so no one would suspect us dating. So I can have some time with professor Ghim.

" Everything is good? How is practice going?" She asked me still smiling.

" It's going well so far " I answered nodding.

" That's really good. Since most of the students are afraid of practicing here after noon. So it's good to see you around here at such  time for practice. I really love how you love music that much" she said sipping her coffee.

" Yes! I don't give up!" I said giggling.

" Nice nice" she said smiling at me.

I thought of asking her about the building and what goes on around it. But I hesitates and it seemed like she noticed.

" Is there something you wanna say?" She asked

" Nothing...just about the building mystery. I heard that you requested to change the college location before? Was that right?" I asked hesitating a bit.

" That place ... No secrets live there, do they? Nothing but spirits" she chuckled.

" Who knows?"

She finished her coffee and took her stuff and her bag as she stood up.
" That building is not suitable for students . Too much rumors and no one knows what is right " she said and noticed Seokjin walking towards us.

" Here is out best assistant. It's practice time isn't it?" She asked smiling as she greeted him.

He slightly bowed to her and smiled.
" Our student is always here for practice. She does miss any session at all!" Seokjin said proudly.

Professor Ghim looked at me amazed. " What a hardworking artist you are, Sara! Your future gonna be bright , just trust yourself okay?" She said cheering me up.

" Thank you professor " I said happily . Her words are really amazing and encouraging.

I turned back to Seokjin when professor Ghim walked away. He was staring at me smile and I couldn't help but stare back at his eyes.

Seokjin quickly looked away so no one would notice . I was the one who asked that our relationship would be a secret. But why do I wish everyone would know about it?

" How much would you pay for exciting news?" He asked distracting me from my thoughts and that was smart of him.

I smiled at hím and asked. " News about what?"

" Is there anything else that is exciting in this place?" He asked quickly.

I thought maybe he wanted to surprise me?? Did he talk with my mother about our engagement? My birthday is soon , it will be on our graduation ceremony too!

I acted dumb and asked again.
" I don't know. Don't make me guess just say it"

" I finally....was able to take permission from Prof Lee! We can go check the old storage! Don't you remember what that man said?? About that old piano?! So tomorrow we can go check it ourselves!!" He said excitedly.

As what he said was really important but it was not what I wanted at that moment. Am I becoming that clingy?? I thought my intrests we're not like other girls. But that is not right...all girls are the same. No 'special' ones. We are all unique and can think of whatever we want.

" Really? How did you do that?? How did you convince her?" I asked him.

Seokjin looked at me and I think he figured out what was going on in my head as he smirked
" I told her that I wanted to make some analysis about the performance of old instruments over time and how long would they last. It was not easy at all. That woman is not easy to convince...I mean professor Lee "

" You're right..."

" Yeah...she didn't agree at first...I had to ask her a lot . I know it may get me into trouble but I made sure she wouldn't join us there. "

" Do you think we can ask professor Ghim to help us?" I asked.

" Maybe we can...let's just see that tomorrow " he nodded.

We walked together into the building and up the staircase. Walking beside Seokjin made me forgot everything that happens at the third floor . Feeling safe and happy when I am with him.

The third floor was all lighten. We got inside room 303 and prepared the piano and my music note.

I looked at Seokjin and saw him zooning out.

" What are you thinking about?" I asked

" About that old piano at the old storage room. It witnessed that fire ...I just want to know more..." He said

" I really want know what caused that fire" I said

" I learned from some relatives that the police sealed the room and investigated it for years . But finally ended the case with the cause if a cigarette. That doesnt make any sense at all" he said

I remembered what he said about the students who died in the fire.
" Do you know which room was that?" I asked.

He simply answered
" This room...303. let's begin the practice!"
