Come Rain or Shine

Break a leg

*Flashback to those good memories*

Chaeyoung is nervous upon landing on the third floor. She prepared everything the past 2 weeks, she did her research on the previous department's musical operas through the library, she took references from Broadway and west end as well for her pieces. Chaeyoung watched all the performances, she dedicated her weekend just to study the pieces. It's a different type of music that she's been working on. It's musical, it has to have a real deep feeling in it. After watching some movies, plays, musicals, theatres, she decided to write a piece for it.

Chaeyoung knocks on the door. It's on the 54 building, 3rd floor, the biggest room on the floor, the Theatre Committee room. Chaeyoung gulps her saliva down as she opens the door. She could see almost 7 people in the room staring at the door. It's a rehearsal room as well.

Mina is smiling to herself, looking at the girl through the mirror.

"Son Chaeyoung, come in"

Chaeyoung then brings her body inside the room, feeling heavy as those eyes still look at her, she can't stop bowing to her seniors.

"Hello, Sunbaenim. My name is Son Chaeyoung, freshman of Composition major. Nice to meet you all, Sunbaenim"

Chaeyoung bow 90 degrees.

"What is a freshman doing here, Myoui Mina?" Jihyo whispers to Mina's ear.

"Chaeyoung here is a composer. And she's here to show us what she can help with our next play" Mina explained to everybody.

All of their eyes are widened now.

"Are you crazy, Mina?" Jihyo is whispering again.

"I know what I am doing, Hyo. I have guts" Mina replied in a soft tone.

"I know she's a freshman, but how about we allow her to brag about her music then? We might not know, right? I mean we all know that the composition major sets this great standard for their students. It would be wasted if we let them join SOUNDREAM, right?" Mina gives her rationale to others, all nods to her.

"I will invite the professors," She adds.

Chaeyoung is so nervous now actually. People are staring coldly at her. Or maybe it's just her feeling, maybe because she's scared.

Mina, the one who invited her here is on the call, calling the professors.

The annual department musical opera production is the heart and the pride of the College of Music. All the best people from music majors are there to present the best spectacles. Not only the student but the teachers have the pride to keep the good quality.

"Alright, the F4 would be here. So let's wait for them"

Chaeyoung once again gulps down.

F4 of the Music Department. Dean Jun Namgil, Professor Jo Jungsuk, Professor Eugene Song, and Professor So Jiseob. The 4 of them are the best lecturers here. Dean Jun is her professor in the composition department. Dean Jun interviewed Chaeyoung back when she applied for a composition major. He is acknowledged for his straight face, he didn't show his emotion upon Chaeyoung's assignment. Chaeyoung thought she would never be accepted that day. And now she got to meet Dean Jun again. She's so nervous.

She just sits on the piano chair and stares at the blank space.

"Don't be nervous, Chaeyoung-ssi" Mina comes at her and brings her water.

Chaeyoung takes the water, she takes a deep breath.

"I was also a freshman when I joined this production. My professor scouted me, the seniors look they had on you back then, I got that too. But I proved them wrong. I might be a freshman, but I am so good"
