I'm glad we had that class or I would never have the chance to get to know him better.

I woke up early today because it's gonna be so embarrassing for me if I overslept and be late for our meet-up at 1 PM. I tend to do that a lot, I usually wake up around noon if it's the weekend.

     Our first performance in music class is finally done but we still need five performances before we are completely done with it. We sang the song Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. I played the guitar and it didn't take me long enough to learn how to play it.

     Today is Saturday, we decided to practice for our next performance this upcoming week at Seonghwa's house again since we really can't do it at my place during the weekends. My parents are most likely to interview someone if they are in our house.

     I checked the time from my phone and went outside the building to see Seonghwa sitting on the bench in front of our buildings. I walked towards him and he looked up once he saw me.

     "Hey," I greeted as he greeted me back with a smile. I got taken back when I saw him smiled at me. Smile, I barely see him do that. Whenever I looked at him, a serious face is what I always see. 

     He stood up from the bench towering over me.

     "오래 기다리셨어요? [Have you been waiting long?]" I asked looking up to meet his eyes, curiosity eating me up.

     "아니 (Ani)," he kept his answer short while shaking his head still keeping eye contact. "가자 (Gaja)," he then led me towards their building as I followed behind him.

     After a few minutes, we reached their house on the sixth floor. Our house is not that far from their house, our building is just right next to their building.

     When we arrived at their house, we wasted no time and started sharing our ideas. Choosing a song that suits our vocals the best for our next performance took us a while, unlike the last time.

     "성화야! (Seonghwa-ya!)" I heard a voice of a girl calling for the guy whose room I was in.

     Before he even opened his mouth a beautiful girl appeared in front of Seonghwa's room looking for him. I never met her last time when I was in their house. I've seen her in their family pictures but this was my first time meeting her sister in person. His sister really looks like him. Wait... should I say he looks like her because she is older than him?

     A shocked expression was clear on her face when she noticed that a visitor was with his brother.

     "안녕하세요 (Annyeonghaseyo)," standing up I greeted, taking a bow.

     "안녕하세요, 승민입니다 (Annyeonghaseyo, Seungmin imnida), Seonghwa's older sister."
