(Mina's POV)

What a delightful concert! I'm really lucky to have Jihyo as a friend!

But let's start from the beginning. Some time ago, Jihyo went to visit me and she told me about a concert she wanted to organize.

"The Muses and I would like to play our latest compositions. And I must say that their quality has improved thanks to your lyre," she concluded with a smile.

I smiled back at the compliment, "This sounds like a good idea to me."

"Of course you're invited," she said.

"Thank you, I wouldn't miss it for any reason," I answered politely, showing her my gummy smile.

So they organized this concert and yesterday evening I wore my most beautiful tunic, and went to the theatre.

Jihyo was already there, radiant with happiness and busy talking to a goddess that I had never met before, but that I immediately recognized.

"Oh, Mina, here you are!" she exclaimed upon seeing me, smiling brightly.

"Good evening," I told them with a little bow.

"Mina, I'd like you to meet Tzuyu," Jihyo introduced me to the other goddess.

Yes, it's rather strange that we have never met until now since she's my half-sister, but my mother and I use to have a very quiet life. My mother doesn't tend to Olympic parties and stuff like that, and so I actually don't know most of the Olympic gods.

Tzuyu is very beautiful, taller than me, lean and has two jet-black eyes that pierced me. It looked as if she was trying to read my soul.

She shook my hand with an open smile, "Jihyo spends most of her time talking about you."

I blushed a little at that. "Whatever she's told you, don't believe her," I answered while Jihyo snorted.

"She's told me you are quite intelligent."

"That's it, don't believe her!" I replied and she looked at me, perplexed. I'm not exactly sure if that was a joke or not. Anyway, Tzuyu is obviously very intelligent but I feel she's a bit sullen and scary.

Soon the concert began. I must say that Jihyo's new music is wonderful, even better than the usual one. The way the lyre's sweet sound melted with the aulos and the singing voices, especially Jihyo's – it was just perfect. The Muse who played the aulos, Nayeon, was particularly inspired and I watched her, enchanted by her silky pink hair and cherry plump lips, by the way she frowns while she plays.

A most delightful evening indeed.

(Tzuyu's POV)

Music is not my favorite art but really, Jihyo's music could melt a stone. Yesterday's concert was a great success and we all went home with a peaceful and happy soul. Jihyo was so elated that she could barely restrain herself, all smiles and shimmering eyes.

I also met my umpteenth half-sister, Mina, who is also Jihyo's best friend. The first thing I thought when she was introduced to me was that I had never seen anyone with so many moles before. She also has dark wavy hair that falls just a little below her shoulders and is shorter than me, slender and looks kinda fragile. Though I must admit, Mina is beautiful and has this soft features plus the prominent mole on her nose made her face even more attractive. Oh and don't get me started on how adorable her gummy smile is.

I suddenly remember the conversation I had with her.

"Jihyo spends most of her time talking about you," I observed. And actually, Jihyo always rewards our sister's intelligence, wit and kind heart.

"Whatever she's told you, don't believe her!" she answered, her eyes laughing.

"She's told me that you're quite intelligent."

"That's it, don't believe her!" she answered with an embarrassed smile and I looked at her, not knowing if she was joking or not. From what Jihyo has told me about Mina's self-esteem, she was probably not.

Anyway, she probably enjoyed the concert more than the rest of us; from how she looked at Nayeon and how Nayeon looked back at her, I believe that love is in the air.

And tomorrow, I'll delight myself with the Gods' assembly. Speaking of which, we really have to find a moderator, otherwise, we in the Council will slaughter each other one day. I'm still quite surprised on how we managed until now.

Curious on what I'm talking about? You will find out, soon.
