A Second Chance

chapter thirty

A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I was sick for the past weeks and studying for finals! But I'm decently better now and ready to go! :) please don't forget to vote! And thank you so much, I've finally reached over 100 followers!! I appreciate and love you all!!

Ae Cha was also decently wealthy.

I walked up to the gate, "how come I feel like I'm the only person in school with a shabby place?" I looked around and found the button.

bzz!

"How can I help you?" A voice came from the speaker "hi, I'm a friend of Ae Cha. We're here to practice" I showed her the case I had, assuming they can see me.

The gate opened, "thank y...."

bzz!

"..ou" I sighed and walked up to the door and before I could even knock, the door open to a maid. "I am the top maid of the household, I will be taking you to Ae Cha."

"Alr—" she stopped me "remove your outside shoes please" she pointed to my shoes "oh, alright" I removed them and in a snap of her fingers, a butler came this time with a pair of shoes.

He set them on the floor for me and I slipped them on. "This way" the maid guided me to Ae Cha's room, she knocked on it.

"Come in~!" The maid opened the door, it was bright in her room, her curtains were wide open and everything was white and pink. Ae Cha was wearing a fancy girl outfit, which was very stunning.

"Ji Hyun!" She hugged me tightly "Ae Cha" you gave her a pat on her back "come, come! You can set your case down" and I did, and she lead me to a small table in her room.

"I have some tea and snacks set for us" she smiled at me "oh wow. Never had this type of welcoming" I returned the smile to her, Ae Cha laughed.

I grabbed a cookie and bit into it, "mmm, these are delicious" I complimented her "thank you, they're homemade from the store" she smiled happily.

Huh...?

I finished the cookie up, "so this was what I was thinking" Ae Cha went through the mess of papers that was on her bed "let's do something different, something that the school won't expect from us!"

"An American song!" She shoved the music paper in my face "American song?" I questioned and took it from her hand "Until I Found You" I read, and read the music.

"And we can both sing!" "Oh, yeah.. I'm not really a great singer, Ae Cha" I pointed out "it's alright. I'll show you, I really wanna include you in this" she's so sweet.

"Fine then. But if I make your ears bleed, not my fault."

"Is your English okay though?" "Well my papa, would travel back and forth from Korea to America a lot, and he'd teach me enough English" I looked back at the music sheet.

Can I really do this? My English isn't too bad. But isn't the best.

No, I can do it! If I die, at least I have no regrets!!

"Let's do this!" I yelled determined Ae Cha grabbed her microphone. "Alright!" We were both pumped up, I took out my violin from its case and Ae Cha brought me a stand for my music sheet.

"Would you like to review the music notes?"she offered "I think I got it. If not, then I'll learn them" I gave her a reassured smile.

"Mina, you can start it" the head maid started the background music from the radio "ahem ahem," she cleared her throat. "Georgia, wrap me all up in your... I want you" my eyes widened.

She's really good... I can tell her voice is angelic.

My violin followed the notes but stayed on her timing.

"I'll never let you go again..." she sung "... like I did" I was getting mesmerized by her singing.

"I said I would never fall, unless it's you I fall in to~"

And my mind went straight to Seung Ho, I played the wrong note, it went quiet. "Are you alright, Ji Hyun?" Ae Cha asked "oh... I'm sorry, I got distracted" I smiled nervously.

"It's alright. You did really well for your first try" Ae Cha complimented "but you should try keeping up with my timing as best as you can" she suggested, I nodded.

"You can keep those sheets to practice" "thank you" I thanked her.

After that we focused on my vocals, and let's say they did make Ae Cha's ears hurt.

"I'll see you tomorrow! Practice a lot!" I said my goodbyes to Ae Cha, I bit my under lip.

I was passing by a store, and it caught my attention. "Ooo~ cheesecake" I entered the store, "hi, what can I get you?" She smiled at me "I would have a normal cheesecake, I'll be taking it home" I handed her the cash.

She took it and gave back my change. I accidentally bumped my arm into someone, and my coins fell onto the ground.

"I'm sorry!" I started picking up my coins, and looked up. Those eyes, those hazel eyes from that night.

"Oh it's you again," it was the women from before. She offered a hand and I took it, "it's you" she pointed out before I did "didn't expect to see you here" I replied "a popular cheesecake store in the neighborhood" "right..." I cleared my throat.

"Again, I'm very sorry for bumping into you" I apologized again, she gave me a soft smile. "It's quite alright" something caught her attention, I looked at what she was staring at.

"Ah, music sheets" I showed her "Until I Found You?" She read "yeah, practicing it with a friend" "I've listened to it. It's a great song" she mentioned "is that so? I'll give it a try."

"Miss, your cheesecake" I heard the employee, I took it. "Would I be seeing you around here often?" The women asked me "I don't live around here. But I do come here around here quite often, so maybe" she gave me a nod before I left.

I got home and took out my earbuds, I connected it to my phone and put on Until I Found You.

I walked around the house, listening to the song.

Just hearing the background music during practice was great. But hearing them sing, it all fits together. 

And I kept it on a repeat.
