When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Seventy Four: When The Nightmare Ends

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Six and a half years later…

Seunghee has been a respected piano teacher/tutor to children from six to twelve years old. She’s also working as a composer, writer and producer at currently one of the top music studios in South Korea, Cube entertainment. She’s been working ever since she graduated, fully concentrating on sharpening and perfecting her talents and skills and ultimately succeeding in her career.

As she prospers in her profession and career, nothing has changed with her matters of the heart. The last guy in her life is Taehyung. And that ended more than eight years ago, shortly after they started dating. She just couldn’t be happy with him. She couldn’t be happy with any other guy. No matter what Taehyung did for her, it wasn’t enough. Cuz the mere sight of him makes her reminisce someone else. Someone far more precious than him. Someone she’s bound to treasure even more. And it constantly puts her to damnation. And this probably is her lifelong punishment.

She walks down the corridors of the Cube office, yet for another producing day for an upcoming girl group. She enters the recording room and the younger ones politely greet her.

“Anyounghaseyo Oh-nim!” a couple of teenage girls greet.

She smiles back and greets in return, “Anyounghaseyo.”

The vocal trainer and arranger, is already sitting down in front of the booth, readying the technical aspects of the recording.

“Anyounghaseyo, Kim-nim,” she greets her senior.

“Anyounghaseyo, let’s start right away. We’re behind schedule,” Mr. Kim replies.

“Okay,” she says and sits on her designated seat.

The upcoming group is recording for their first mini album to be out a few months later. Seunghee writes all the songs in the album and also produces it all. She has been working on this project for the past year already and it’s about time the group debut.

After a few hours, the recording has ended. Walking by the corridors of the building, she picks up her phone from her bag with someone calling.

“Hansol? Where are you?” she says. “Alright, I’ll meet you up at the entrance.”

She gracefully walks down the aisles, going out of the building. And there she meets the guy waiting for her. An all grown up Hansol, who looks most gorgeously handsome in his mid-twenties. He coolly stares at her as she approaches and the moment she’s near, offers his arm for her to hold onto. She instantly loops her arm with it as they walk on together.

“You’re really leaving tonight?” Seunghee asks.

“Yah, I can’t postpone this flight the third time noona,” Hansol answers.

They walk past the exit and off to his car, waiting just outside the lobby. They hop in, with Hansol on the driver’s seat. They’ve put the seat belts on and are ready to go for lunch. Hansol faces Seunghee with a serious look on his face.

“But if you tell me to stay, and just accept me, I’ll put everything on hold and-”

But Seunghee cuts him before he can even finish, “Nope. I will never tell you to do that. So go on and leave. Make your dreams come true.”

Hansol pauses for a bit staring back at her. She only grins at him and caresses the side of his face saying, “Go.”

After a moment, they quit the drama and face front, all set for the lunch awaiting them at their reserved restaurant.
