Come Rain or Shine

Crack under pressure

Mina tried to forget a piece of information Jihyo gave to her at the gravesite. Now that Mina knows Chaeyoung whereabout, Mina somehow feels relieved, knowing that she's still here in South Korea. Mina always thought that Chaeyoung was back in Seattle, or maybe with his brother in Germany, or somewhere Mina couldn't even reach. But turns out she's only in Gangneung. She must be at her mother's place. Mina remembered that Chaeyoung's mom said that the house has the best acoustic. It would be perfect for a musician like Chaeyoung. The place is also a little bit secluded, which suits a sentimental songwriter like Son Chaeyoung.

For Mina, it's enough knowing that she's alive and still writes songs.

Even though Jihyo said something about Chan, Mina didn't forget that she left Chaeyoung not because of Chan or something. It was all because of Chaeyoung's cowardice. Chaeyoung can't even expose her reason for leaving Mina years ago. Mina still remembered how hurt it was. The last time, Mina even begged her to stay, but Chaeyoung's silence frustrated her in the end. Mina finally left the relationship for good. Mina is still holding onto that feeling. Mina refused to forget about those little things. Mina was ready to move on whatever it was the reason behind if only Chaeyoung said it to her.

Alright, thinking about that makes Mina somehow clench both fists so tight. The only thing she needs still is an explanation from her. Mina realized that deep down inside she was still thinking about her, but then she buried herself again in her works to subside her mind from thinking about her.

This new semester she managed her lecturers at Hanyang University, not to mention she's busy with Music Factory as well with some idol trainees coming in. Sometimes she feels that she's not busy enough that she finds new hobbies. Things she does to get her mind busy. And indeed she's busy as fuck this semester. Sujin lets her mom do her things because Sujin knows from her childhood days that work is the only thing that makes Mina happy besides being her mom.

Back in Hanyang, she has classes every Thursday and Friday morning, she teaches Sight Singing and Ear Training and Vocal Music Major subjects. Seeing her students make her recharge, Mina feels that she gets the energy to see her students practice and practice to be professional performers. Reminding those heydays of hers.

Mina was done with her Vocal Music Major class, she wanted to grab a quick lunch in the professor's cafeteria, and then she would head to Music Factory after.

She walks down the hallway, lots of her students greet and bow to her, Mina greets them back and nods at them. She stops for a while as someone walks out of the classroom and gets in her way.

The latter, a middle-aged man, then saying sorry at her for obstructing her way.

"Dean Jun?" Mina then calls him first. She's surprised.

The latter then look at her face first, squinted his eyes a little, "Myoi Mina?" He said surprisedly

"Right, I am, Dean Jun"

Dean Jun's dropping her jaw down while wowing at her.

"How are you? Wha......what are you doing here, Mina?"

"I am........... I am teaching here!"

"No way! No way! Department of Voice?"

Mina nods.

"Under Professor Shin?"

Mina nods again.

"Wow, Shin Jungrok is my best friend. Whoa, what a small world!"

"What are you doing here Dean Jun, are you teaching here as well?"

"No no, I am done with teaching actually, so don't call me Dean please, I am not even a Dean anymore. I was just a guest lecturer here" Dean Jun is still amazed that he could meet Mina here.
