3rd Day - 20:00 - Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 4

a/n: if you want, you can listen to the piece when you play the piano! it's an amazing piece. my tiny ass hands could never...

"Yes, I understand," Jumin spoke with one of his security guards who were opening the car door for him. He just finished the last meeting for the day with his father and Jaehee. While listening to the security guards' orders, his father spoke to Jumin.

Jumin simply nods, feeling his concentration slip from his fingers.

It's been a long day for Jumin. His day started out with a random woman in his room. After that incident, he wasn't able to release the tension off his shoulders.

Even though it's not too late in the day, he still hasn't had dinner because the meeting was extended for a few hours. The only thing that kept him going was his father granting him permission to bring Elizabeth the 3rd to work. She was currently asleep inside the car.

As his father left with Choi Glam, the security guard continued to talk with Jumin regarding tomorrow's schedule. In the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of someone vaguely familiar. He observed the woman go into a building nearby.

"If you will excuse me for a second." Jumin bowed his way out of the security guard's conversation to follow the woman.

"Mr. Han, where are you—"

"I'll be right back. Please wait for me."

'Breathe, Jihye. Breathe'

You anxiously reached for the ends of your hair, twirling them nervously. Your eyes jolted back and forth, feeling your heart race a mile a second.

Your nerves are eating you alive again.

From the backstage, you could hear the loud whispers of the audience. You'd saw nothing like this. It was a packed house tonight.

You were only performing as a soloist for tonight. You along with other famous pianists arranged a fun concert for their fans as a special gift. There will be no orchestra playing with you.

Maybe that's why you're nervous?

Although you have been playing professionally for almost a year now, you still can't defeat your nerves.

"We'll be ready in one!" one of the backstage crew whispered loudly, as you nod. The other pianists all looked at each other with confidence. They were more experienced in this field since they've all been playing professionally for at least 10 years now. You were the only newbie in this department.

"Remember the script, everyone? We'll start by introducing ourselves and our first piece. Good luck out there!" another backstage crew member reminded.

The double door slowly opened as you were the first to step into the spotlight.
