[Kim JongWoon]

I don’t know why JunKi hyung would force me to go with them to the dinner with the Hans. I don’t think it’s to let me know that I don’t deserve her—because I know that he already knew that I'm aware of that. I guess he’s just letting me see her—he even told his parents not to mention that I'm friends with Rin. I wanted to see her but I didn’t want to go to her house—which I had no choice since I got dragged out of the house and in to his car. Although it was the first time going in that house, I wasn’t as surprise as JunKi hyung had expected—he said his jaw literally dropped down after seeing it—in all honesty, I really didn’t care. And like what I always hear when I talk to Rin on the phone, classical music can be heard. I didn’t have any idea why the lady would hug me either. But like Rin, her beauty and grace can be felt. I sat there quietly—I only talk when I was asked—until Geng went in the room. I remember JunKi told me how intimidating this guy can be… I wonder what he’ll think when we actually talk. I mean, he did smile hugely when he notice that I'm here. Rin, too, was pretty funny when she saw me there. Although we really didn’t talk to each other the whole dinner, I could just look at her. She went to the garden later that night and ChilHyun hyung-nim were there—I know he had no idea that I was there, at least until she told him. I sat back to there I was sitting and my phone vibrates. I took it out and I have a message that says “Oppa, you look so handsome! I almost didn’t recognize you~” with hearts and drooling emoticons at the end. I chuckled to myself. It was Rin—who else? The chairman called for Rin to join us—and hyung-nim was behind her when they enter. “Yes?” she asked—although the look on her face tells that she knew why she was called.

“I heard from your mother that you started playing the piano again… would you play for us?” the chairman said.

“It… it was just one time” she said in somewhat uneasy way, then sighed, I guess it was obvious that she can’t win with him, “Okay… just this once” she said and sat at the grand piano. We all watch her but it seems like I was the only one who notice that the expression on her eyes change. She took a deep breath and gave me a glance with a soft smile. She started playing. It was soft… yet sad melody. What’s this song? I’ve never heard of it… maybe it’s new? I mean she composed it. She suddenly opened her mouth and started singing… I’ve heard her play the piano/keyboards a lot of time but this is actually the first time I'm hearing her sing… and the song she’s singing? It was the song I wrote for her. I know I sat there frozen. I hear her sing… I hear her play… but I couldn’t move an inch. My face started feeling hot. My tears started swelling up and I know it’s just a matter of seconds before it fell out of my eyes. She got in the chorus—with her voice and amazing melody she did on the piano—my tears fell. I wiped it but I noticed that I’ve been wiping my eyes more than I could watch her. My heart is aching right now… and I know she does feel the same too—that’s why the expression on her eyes changes when she sat. Now that she knew what I feel for her… I know she already realize that this song is for her. I looked at her before the song was completely finished. There was a visible tear fell on her eye… or maybe I was the only one who noticed it since as soon as it was over, they started talking about how great the song was. “Are you okay?” the chairman asked me—I guess I couldn’t hide how my eyes were so red

“Yes… I—uh… it was just a beautiful song and—” I replied

“JongWoon-ie is always like that… he gets touched easily” HyeJin omoni said with a gentle smile on her face. It’s not because I'm touched… it because it made me sad. I saw Rin looking at me with a dreadfully sad smile… I am aware that I’m doing the same. I knew JunKi was paying close attention to us the whole time. Rin’s phone started ringing

“Excuse me, I need to take this call” she said and left the room. In less than two weeks will be their birthday… and the chairman invited even me to attend. Rin went back in the room about 15minutes later with a slight smile on her beautiful face.
