"let's welcome our newest member, cha jiwoo!" i stepped into the music room, everyone's eyes falling on me immediately. mostly comprising of female students, a few of them raised their brows at my entrance, whispers spreading soon after. i gulped, taking stand at the front of the room to introduce myself.

"hi, i'm cha jiwoo and i'm looking forward to-"

"-how can you start the introductions without me," a new voice cut me out, rushing into the room, but when our eyes met, we both took a step back. he raised his arm to point at me with a look of horror on his face. "what in the holy name of music are you doing here?" the tall brunette cried out, his eyes moving to jinwoo next.

"she's our new member taehyung, say hello," jinwoo answered, sending me a small smile for reassurance.

'taehyung' pursed his lips for a moment. the whole room was silent now as if the club members already knew what was going to come next: laughter. taehyung pressed a hand against his chest as laughter erupted from his mouth. it was a deep, powerful sound that echoed in the room and for a moment, the snarky brunette that i had encountered near the freshers' fair seemed like a cute little child.

"and what kind of musical talent does she possess to be even considered for a place in this club?" he questioned in-between his laughter.

cute little child? i take that back. scoffing at his explicit impertinence, i took a big step towards him. "if i do have this 'musical talent', what are you going to do about it?" cocking my head to the side, i raised my brows at the boy in front of me. he held my confident gaze for a few seconds then looked down, clicking his tongue.

"well, then we'll have no reason to reject your application form."

i bit the inside of my mouth in determination and grabbed the guitar that was lying against the chair. taking a seat, i steadied my breathing and placed the instrument on my lap. taehyung took the nearest chair and from the corner of my eyes i could see jinwoo also sitting down, a curious smile across his lips.

my fingers grazed the strings as i decided what song to play. a drama soundtrack came to mind and i smiled, letting my eyes slip close as i let my body take control.

"when i look back the road we've taken,

i never knew we'd be like this

young, wild and free didn't know..."

at the sound of my voice, the eyes of everyone in the room went wide, including taehyung and jinwoo. they really expected me to only play the guitar... but fortunately for me, my singing voice was actually one trait about myself that i was extremely proud and fond of.

"now our life is like a tornado,

emotions like a volcano

thought i was there not even close..."

i put a smooth end to the song after the first chorus and put the guitar down slowly. jinwoo immediately stood up and soon a chorus of applause lingered in the air. i bowed in appreciation then looked straight at taehyung, whose mouth was ajar. "so i'll take that look as acceptance into the music club." i pressed my lips together to suppress the smirk that was aching to form on my face and excused myself from the room to answer a phone call.

"jiwoo, where the heck are you?" yumi's concerned voice whispered.

i bit my tongue at the memory of us having promised to study together. "listen," i laughed nervously, pressing the phone tight against my ear. "i joined the music club..."

there were a few seconds of silence before yumi let out a sigh, the sound of shuffling and then footsteps. "meet me outside the school gates." she ended the call as the students from the music club exited the room.

the girls who had looked at me in disgust were now showing me big smiles of respect. "you're a really good singer, jiwoo," one of them complimented, brushing her hair back from her shoulders. she raised her brows expectantly as if waiting for some form of gratitude but i simply showed her my best smile and walked back into the room.

jinwoo was clearing up the instruments while taehyung was still sat on the same chair, watching him. "i still don't think it's a good idea having her in the club," he muttered. "you've heard about her reputation! what can a kid who knows nothing but studying do in a music club?"

they weren't aware of my presence yet and although i wanted to kick taehyung's butt, i bit my lip. jinwoo would have something better to say about me, right?

"she can play the guitar and her voice is incredible, what more confirmation do you want?" distraught, jinwoo looked up at the ceiling. "she seems like a good person," he added, turning to face taehyung, and that's when his eyes caught me. i sent him a thin smile and then cleared my throat.

"thank you for today, jinwoo and see you on monday." i waved at the dark-haired boy, completely ignoring taehyung and then left the room to meet yumi.

she was stood next to the gates, hands in her pockets. "hey," i nudged her shoulders, looking down at my shoes.

yumi made a sound of acknowledgement and then took a step towards me. "did you really join the music club?" i lifted my head to meet her sharp gaze and nodded. "even though you know how badly your parents will react to it if they find out?"

"then we'll just have to make sure they don't find out," i laughed nervously, squeezing the straps of my backpack. yumi watched me closely for a few seconds and then dropped her hands with a sigh.

"are you sure about this?" she asked.

licking my lips, i nodded again. "i know it's hard to understand right now, but i really enjoyed it today. i want to give it a chance."

yumi narrowed her eyes at me and then wrapped her arms around my neck. "i can't believe you ditched studying with me for the music club," she laughed, pouting at me as i tried to release myself from her grasp.

"you did what, jiwoo?" we both froze at the sound of my mother's voice. "the... music club, you joined the music club?" she repeated, her voice shaking at the end of the sentence.

yumi let go of me quickly and i squeezed my eyes shut. taking the longest possible time to turn around and face my mother, i prepared myself for the worst.

"get in the car, now."
