"Tan"

A loud sound came from the piano as Seungmin pressed it. Like he offended the piano and the piano roared at him.

He looked down, embarrassed.

He bowed with series of 'sorrys' to everyone.

Everyone just cooed at his curiousity and the way he just pressed the key with baby mind. So pure, innocent.

"Ani Seungminnnie. No need to apologize. Instead I like these type of students who are curious and just do something in intention of learning something new." Wonpil said tapping on his shoulder.

"You are already my favourite student. Lucky you, no one becomes my favorite so.....easily" Wonpil winked at him.

Seungmin just shyly, bowed. Cheeks pink.

"Let's start, I guess you are too eager"
Wonpil said in teasing tone.

Seungmin rubbed the back of his neck shyly and nodded.

Wonpil showed him the basics.

"See first these are the main keys 'C','D', 'E' 'F', 'G', 'A', 'B'."

Wonpil showed him each key with pressing them so show the different frequencies of the keys.

Seungmin nodded to everything. But in real he barely understood it.

"Okay now you play them"

Seungmin gulped tensing because he barely understood but just nodded. He thought he would make a fool of himself if he said he didn't understand.

He forwarded his hands. Hands trembling, mind blank. But one thought in mind – he Didn't want to embarrass himself.

He played the keys. One.by one.

God I am dead. Please save me.

"Wow Seungminnnie you catches very well. I can see how invested you are."

Really. Did I play it well? He maybe complimenting me to make me feel at ease. I played bad.

"You have already caught your pace on piano. Your beats were surprisingly were surprisingly measured properly making the rhythm fluent. Now let's play DO–RE–MI–FA–SOL–LA–DI–SO."

Seungmin nodded lowly.

He saw this time.neatly with full concentration.

"Now play"

Wonpil smiled.

Seungmin raised his hands–– now confident, raw.

He played the rhythm slowly, hesitantly.

Each key beat fascinating him. He enjoyed playing it again, again.

It seemed that the world around was fading as he immersed himself in the  rhythmic dream.

Each beat increasing its frequency and then just the eighth key going down.

He kept playing it simultaneously.

He finally stopped playing it after tenth time.

He looked up, smiling brightly at Wonpil.

"Wow minnie you learned it quickly than other do. Good job Baby boy."

Seungmin just shyly thanked him in tiny.

"Now practice it, I'll be back in a few okay."

Seungmin nodded and continued playing. He didn't look up because he didn't want to have eye contact with anyone and be awkward.

He continued playing a smile on his face while playing the piano––totally enjoying it.

He got very excited now that he could play the keys properly. He increased his pace.

DO–RE–MI–FA–SOL–LA–DI–SO×2

DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-DI-SO×4

DO.RE.MI.FA.SOL.LA.DI.SO×10

He stopped after playing so many times and just looked up in satisfaction.

There’s when he froze again.

His heart skipped a beat again

He was looking again.

Even when revising his guitar notes, he is still watching him.

With the same eyes, but this time they were......admiring.

Seungmin doesn't know or he was dreaming. But that guy was.....smiling ...a little. Not reaching his ears. Just lips curled up a little, a very little but still he did.

Seungmin looked behind him, maybe someone was behind him, but he was the last person in front of the other wall.

He was looking at him. But why? What's so good to look at him?

"Ok everyone gather up and assemble beside Seungmin" Wonpil said clapping his hands ordering everyone.

"Since you all are beginners too, freshly joined now you all will play DO–RE–MI in your own instrument together just like a band, nae. I don't think it's difficult is it.*everyone nods. Ok then play. "

Wonpil came to SeungMin "minnie you can play right?" Seungmin nodded biting his lips.

"Ok then starts buddies"

"Seungminnie annyeong, Nega Hwang Hyunjin imida." Seungmin bowed accepting his handshake. "I wanted to talk to you since you entered"

Seungmin just laughed awkwardly, saying 'me too" in small.

Seungmin looked at the other person who was none other than him.

That guy too looked at him. He looked like he wanted to speak but something was holding him back.

He cleared his throat.

"Lee Minho." He said.....short, cold, uninterested. Seungmin again nodded but didn't just kept quiet.

"Annyeong Minho hyung nice to meet you" SeungMin said flushed, flashing his dandy smile.

Minho's eyes widened at the partiality and his ears turned red when Seungmin gave him that smile, only him till he entered the class.

"Ok let's start playing. 1...2...3.."
Minho said trying to avoid his flustered state.





I hope I didn't offend any pianists. I am a beginner.
