The next day...

It was finally the assembly time for all students.

It was being held at the huge stadium part of the campus.

It was during the assembly time that the freshmen and newbies were going to perform and showcase their own talents.

Jisoo was on the backstage already in her outfit.

She breathed in and out to calm herself down and to lessen her nervousness.

She tried remembering all the discussions that Yoon Gi gave to her last night about using her abdomen in singing.

"You can do it Jisoo! Hwaiting!" Jinyoung who was now all ready cheered her up.

"Thank you Jinyoung. Luckily this is performed by group. If not, I'd really collapse at the stage."

"Yeah I know right. We're just a bunch of newbies anyway. Good luck to us."

Then the performance started...

Yoon Gi as usual arrived just in time.

He found a seat near all other teachers and watched the performance with anticipation.

Jisoo was his latest trainee who was going to perform right now.

Then the singing started, Jisoo sang her part and saw Yoon Gi among all the audiences.

She smiled at him, and he didn't smiled back.

He was always expressionless and still but that doesn't stop her from smiling at him in the mid-performance.

Then the next performance of Jisoo happened..

All the lights transformed colors.

Yoon Gi suddenly felt uneasy and took a sip from his water bottle.

Every movement of Jisoo sent shivers down his spine.

Heol... Why is it so hot in here?He tried flapping his polo for air.

After the performances...

Yoon Gi went to his studio to get some documents.

As soon as he locked the door and was about to leave, he almost dropped his documents on the floor the moment he saw Jisoo.

"That scared me. What are you doing here?" Yoon Gi asked her, his cold glare never left her.

"I just wanted to say thank you Mr. Min. Without you, I wouldn't be able to reach this point. I look forward to be trained under you... Here, I hope you accept this note of appreciation of mine this time." Jisoo smiled as she handed him a note embroidered with cute designs and ribbons.

The moment Jisoo left, Yoon Gi looked at the note.

weird but cute...He thought.

That night...

Yoon Gi was now in his studio waiting for Jisoo to arrive until finally she did.

They were now sitting across each other on the couch.

"Drink this. It's a congratulatory gift from me. You did a great job awhile ago." Yoon Gi offered.

Jisoo felt at awe as she saw a teapot and two teacups on the table.

"Ah. Thank you so much Mr. Min."

"Actually I also need to thank you Jisoo."

"For what?"

"For being patient and enduring with my personality. To be honest, you're the only trainee left under me, some students would even beg not to be under my trainings anymore."

"Umm.. let me ask you this question Mr. Min. Is this really your personality? I mean.. didn't you ever smile? Are you really that cold? maybe that's the reason why students must've avoided you."

"I don't know. This has always been me. Sometimes I hate myself for being like this. I have a lot of thoughts going on in my head. I'm the type of person who can't compose my own thoughts. The type of person who is inexpressive even though I felt a lot of happiness but I'm still tough-looking on the outside."

"Maybe one day you will be able to share to me what's in your head. I can always listen you know."

There was a moment of silence as Yoon Gi stared at Jisoo.

Jisoo just flashed her smile at him.

And the unexpected thing happened.

A smile escaped from Yoon Gi's lips.

"Woah! You finally smiled Mr. Min!" Jisoo said in amazement.

Yoon Gi stopped smiling again and looked at his watch.

"Maybe we need to postpone your training for tonight. You must be very tired. Let's go, I'll walk you home."

"Eh? But..." Yoon Gi stood up without hearing more further from Jisoo and went out, Jisoo had no choice but to follow after him.

Pinch me. Is this real? Why is Mr. Min being too good to me now unlike yesterday...She thought.
