Instrument 201, by 9am, class has already begun. Seunghee patiently awaits the performance of the boy of his dreams, excitedly sitting on her seat. Areum can see the twinkle in her eyes. If he sees this, he will surely be affirmative of her feelings.

"Okay! Get ready boys. Of course, we'll start alphabetically," the professor exclaims.

A-B-C-D... Seunghee has sung the alphabet song in her mind for a hundred times already. She sighs. Why does his surname have to start with letter Y? She shrugs at the thought.

A number of promising guys has performed, including Seungcheol and Jisoo. And there's only Jeonghan left in their group. He sits steadily but nervously. There is only one person in the audience in his eyes. The girl sitting at the farthermost corner of the room with beaming eyes as she watches the performers one by one. He has never been this nervous before. It's different this time because she's acquainted with him already. She can tell him what she thinks about his talent after his act. And it matters to him, everything that she will say.

Finally, it's Jeonghan's turn. Seunghee prays silently that he does well. And he hopes that she likes his performance.

He walks across the room, sits infront of the class grabbing an acoustic guitar. And without further ado, he strums the tune.

"Naega jom isanghae malsuga jeogeojyeo
Chingudeuri da geokjeonghae Yeah Yeah~
Ne apeman seomyeon simjangi ttwieoseo
Haengdongi seotulleoseo mianhae
Ajikdo jojeori an dwae
Na gatgo nolji jom mallae
Wae jakku Front haneun geonde
Moreugetda moreugetda
Eotteokedeun doegetji
Geunikka nae mareun
Neoreul da algo sipeo
Neoreul noraehae U Hoo
Neoreul noraehae U Hoo
Ipsuri mallado
Hal mareun haeyagesseo Baby
Akkyeo neol akkyeo neol
Hyeongijeung nal jeongdoro akkinda"

Seunghee falls in love all over again. He makes her heart flutter with everything he does. Seeing him playing the guitar and hearing his soft-toned voice just transports her to dream world. She hasn't heard him sing solo since 5th grade, and this day is the first time in nine years.

After his song, Jeonghan directs his vision to the girl he sang for. It doesn't matter to him if he becomes obvious, all he needs to see is her reaction. And there he's fulfilled. She's clapping her hands together gently with a tender smile on her face. He needs not to see more. He's already seen the greatest price he can receive.

After a few nights, it's Sunday and finally, Jeonghan's birthday.

Seunghee wakes up with an excited smile on her face. "Happy birthday Jeonghan," she mutters. "See you later," she adds taking to herself leaning on the wall beside her bed. If anyone sees her, they might think she's gone crazy. With hair grumbled in her sleep, smiling to herself and even talking alone, she really must have it tough.

But it's the other way around. She rises up her bed in a very energetic manner. Volumes up the music on her player and starts dancing freely. And even starts singing to the song.

"Sumi kwakkwak makhijanha
Ireohge mandeun geon neoyeossjanha
Amu maldo hal suga eopseo
Ireon gibun cheoeumingeol
Dareun yeojawan dalla ppeonhan sarangeun silheo
Naega deo manhi johahaedo
Sanggwaneopseo neoman isseumyeon dwae
Dareun namjawan dalla ije geuman badajwo
You'll be my baby baby baby neo
Dareun namja malgo neo neo"

After finishing the song, she slams down her bed and picks up a small box at her bedside table. She looks at it and smiles like a lovesick to herself.
