"At the age of 21 Jinsoul, a young bright woman studies music at a conservatoire in Seoul. Jinsoul has dark black hair, a sharp jawline and an unspoken beauty about her. It was as if she was a Disney princess with that statue and face of hers. No one knew what she really was like since she never really spoke

Her first study is the piano and is known in the whole city for her playing. She started at the age of four then after a few years of playing her teachers and parents knew that she was phenomenal at the instrument. As a young prodigy she would travel far and wide playing in many concert venues or competitions which she won every time. Her technique was amazing so was her musicality and from then on a great musician bloomed."

Sooyoung read out an article from the latest news

"I guess they were right about most things" Jinsoul raised her brows

"More like they made you seem so cool but really you're an awkward dork. This is why you should talk more after concerts or to those news reporters" the bobbed hair girl answered

Sooyoung is a cellist that was also a well known prodigy a few years ago. She goes to the same conservatoire as Jinsoul and has been friends with her since childhood. They met each other at a competition back when they were 9 in Munich, they were the only Koreans there and couldn't really communicate in English nor German, so they immediately bonded in the waiting room talking about their favourite composers or their music institutions. In that competition the girls drew and kept on meeting ever since.
Not only was she great at cello she was also great at collecting a fan base with her so called 'ladies' that would give her presents and support her at all of her events. Besides from practicing a lot she liked to work out in her spare time so she loved to show off her abs and how the gym was 'second nature' to her.

"The reason why I don't talk because I'm scared I'll mess up in front of camera not people at school. They were pretty off about my personality but oh well" Jinsoul laughed

"More like the complete opposite of you! Anyways we're gonna be late for some Chopin let's get going soloist" Sooyoung grabbed her cello whilst Jinsoul was hurriedly looking around for her music

"Come on Soul it's not like you need the music anyways!"

"Just in case you never know what could happen"

"Such as?"

"Memory slips"

"When did that last happen to you?"

"Uh....never but you know"

"Let's get going" the cellist grabbed the girl by the arm and off they went to rehearsal

This rehearsal was the first time Jinsoul played with this string orchestra. She heard them play once since Sooyoung was Principal cello but couldn't remember what they were playing or how they played. She knew they were good and heard many praises but she was most worried about the socialising bit. She hates meeting new people since all they would do was talk about how she played in her last concert blah blah blah and most of them were old hags.

"Don't worry they're good players and most of them are young not like some old granny" Sooyoung spoke before they walked in the place.

They were rehearsing in one of their school main halls that had a massive stage and a beautiful grand Fazioli. The conductor was one of the girls good old time friends, Jo Haseul.

"Jinsoul it's been so long!" Haseul opened her arms for a hug

"It has. How have you been after high school?"

"I did some work in Hong Kong a while back and met the love of my life there!"

"Woah never knew you had it in you" the pianist joked

"Her name is Wong Kahei and she plays the clarinet"

"Right, I'm guessing you guys met at some orchestra you were conducting for"

"Yup! I was conducting for a children's orchestra course for a few days and it just so happens that her younger brother was playing the bassoon in it. She came in for a few days helping the clarinets for sectionals and we talked between the breaks. You get the whole idea and imagine what can happen next"

"That's so sweet Haseul. I'm so happy for you"

Sooyoung had already unpacked her cello and stepped on stage where we are

"Yeah she never stops talking about the damn woman as well" she added

"She is an angel from heaven that just struck my heart strings" She had love eyes talking about her

"Ew" the other two responded

"Anyways let's start playing shall we?"

All the string players were all ready but in able to start the rehearsal they would need to tune. The concert master got up with their violin and looked at Jinsoul dead in the eyes.

"Could we have an A?" They asked

The pianist immediately plays a D minor Chord

"Cellos?" The leader asked and so on with the whole orchestra

Once everyone was ready Haseul gave all the players a smile, raised her baton and the stringed players began the introduction to Frédéric Chopin's Piano Concerto in E minor.

Chopin was one of Jinsoul's favourite composers since she loved the musicians that wrote from his time period. They were all so lyrical and filled with emotion and it really shows through their compositions.
Another reason why she found Chopin's music so great was that it was always a challenge to learn and Jinsoul loves

After the introduction in comes the soloist entry and she glides her fingers across the keyboard perfectly. She could feel the musicians in the room really connecting with her and wished time never stopped. She took a glance at Sooyoung and the Cellist was following her which made Jimsoul glad because that means she was leading well. After a play through of the first movement Haseul would point things out in the music that the players didn't convey, timing errors and of course bow markings with the help of each principal of sections.
After a few more run throughs Haseul said it was enough for the day to all the players and just like that the rehearsal was done.

"Jinsoul, Sooyoung!" The conductor called out whilst they were packing up

"Yes?" They both replied

"I have a job offer for both of you!
You guys can take this offer or not but the music school that ViVi teaches in need some masterclasses for chamber music and was wondering if you girls can hold it" Haseul explains "you'll get paid of course

"Well what school is it?" Sooyoung asked

"Seoul's School of Music for young musicians" She answered

The girls had wide eyes when she said that

"Damn time to get me some coin!" The cellist exclaimed

"This will be so good for us Sooyoung oh my god!" The pianist jumped up and down

"I remember watching a few students play since they held a concert a while back I was invited to. I specifically remember this cutie that played the flute and boy do I have my eyes on her"
Sooyoung said

"They're high schoolers!"

"She's 18 I'm 21 that's legal"

"Remember Sooyoung you're there to work" Haseul warned "Well the school would have a slot for you guys in three weeks time. I hope you would have some stuff prepared for this two week class and remember that mentoring kids is hard"

"Count us in" Jinsoul Reached out for a handshake
