Chapter 17: Our Song

"Hi, good morning everyone" Jongseong greeted the staff present in the online meeting. "First of all, I would like to apologize. I won't be in the office these few days as I'll be working from home. But you can freely contact me and I'll be there. Secondly, I'm sorry for disappearing suddenly the other day"

"Is your injury bad?" One of the staff asked.

Jongseong smiled and showed his bandaged arms. He was wearing a short sleeve shirt so they could see his bandaged arms.

"Nothing serious, don't worry" he said. "Everyone else is okay right? No one was injured?"

"No. We're fine. Although sadly the dinner ended early and we couldn't see Lee Mujin perform" another staff member said.

"Don't worry, we can always invite him for another event" Jongseong said.

"The hotel apologized for the accident happen and said they will compensate for any lost" the secretary, Ms. Lim informed.

Haneul glanced at Jongseong who was in the meeting at the table in the library. She was sitting on the floor in the sitting area, laptop in front of her. She was listening to the meeting as she did her work.

Jongseong leaned in his seat after he ended the third meeting of the day. He exhaled, tired.

"Haneul?" He called but no one answered.

Jongseong got up and went to her. Haneul dozed off, her head on the table with her arms supporting them. A smile appeared on his face as he watched her. He got into a comfortable position and sat there, watching her. Her hair sprawled over her shoulder, the long strands falling top of the table. He carefully reached his hand and began stroking her hair, making sure her hair wouldn't tickle her face. Haneul hummed. The sound made his heart skip a beat. He never felt so happy to hear someone breathing or feeling alive. Not until he met Haneul. And now everything has changed.

"Gosh, you're beautiful Haneul" he whispered.

Suddenly her eyes fluttered open. Her eyes widened at how close both of them were. He gulped. 'Damn it!'

"Hey" she called. Her husky voice could make him go insane.

He quickly moved away. Haneul stretched her stiff body and got up. "You want some coffee? I'm going to make some"

"Yea...sure" he went to the table again.

Haneul came back a few moments later with two mugs of coffee for them. She sipped on them a bit. Something caught her eyes. She put down her mug and went to the side of the room with Jongseong watching. Haneul sat down at the grand piano there. Slowly, she ran her hands across the keyboard before beginning to play. It wasn't difficult; the song was soft and elegant and flowed effortlessly. Her lips turned into a soft smile, in which Jongseong had to slap himself conscious for staring at her so much.

"Come here" she waved him over. Jongseong went to join her at the piano.

"Aish" she pulled him to sit beside her.

"I don't know that you can play" he said. "Don't you?" She asked as she randomly played a melody. He shook his head.

"I mean aren't we forced to learn to play instruments?" she chuckled. "Given our family background"

Jongseong smirked. "I'm stubborn. I never want to learn what I don't want. You too" he looked at her. "Should stop doing things you don't want to"

Hearing him, she couldn't reply nor could she look at him. Deep down, she knew he was right. She always knew she should stop doing things she dont want to do. She should stop listening to people if it burdened her. But it was hard.

"Hey, I know this song!" His face lit up when the random melody she played sounded familiar. "Wait here" he ran out of the room and later came back with a guitar.

"Yass finally I got to hear you playing that" she exclaimed. "I saw it the night I slept in your room"

"Tsk you can just ask me to play it for you" he took his place on the alcove bed beside the window. He was focusing on tuning the guitar. He didn't realize his words made her blush.

She cleared her throat. "I need to record this" she took out her phone to record him.

"Ayy put that down. I bring this here to play it with you. You play the piano and I'm playing this"

"Hmm alright then" she put the phone aside and made sure both of them could be seen.

"It's 'Ghost' by Justin Bieber right?" He asked again. She eagerly nodded. "It's my favorite song"

"It's a sad song, why would you like it?" He teased her. "Shut it! Of course you need some sadness in life, not everything is rainbow all the time"

"Alright alright understood" he got ready to play.

They looked at each other with him counting down before they began playing. The room filled with melody of both guitar and piano as they played together, harmonizing perfectly. And soon both of their expressions turned into a smile. They were enjoying their music and having fun. Both wish that moment was eternity.

The song came to an end.

"Wow!" she turned to him with a wide smile. He chuckled. 'God she's cute!'

"We should do this often, Jongseong! You're pretty cool playing that guitar" "Tsk I know that" he said that but his face flushed pink.

"Ayy you're enjoying it!" She continued to poke fun on him. "Jongseong is so cool! I'm gonna be his no. 1 fan!"

He couldn't stop smiling widely. "Yah stop it!" He covered his ear that had already turned red.

She burst into laughter as she managed to tease him.
