“Morning Ri In… You look like you are in a good mood today”
“Do I?” Ri In asked in a smile, she had never felt so happy in a while now.
“Morning Junsu!”
“Morning…” Junsu said in his usual cold tone without even looking at Ri In.
Ri In doesn’t feel as happy anymore, Junsu still treats her in his usual cold attitude. She uttered a sigh and start chewing on her breakfast.

[Song played: Timeless (piano version)]
“Where are you taking me?”
Out of the blues, Junsu dragged Ri In without even telling her where they were going. Melody of a piano being played was heard closer and closer and Ri In knew they were heading to the music room. But why dragged her along?
They reached the music room and Ri In took slow steps entering the room. She saw Yunho, Changmin and Jaejoong standing at one corner while Yoochun was playing the piano gracefully, looking like he was indulge into the music.
{Maybe that’s the reason Yoona likes him…} Ri In thought.
[Song end]
As Yoochun played to the last note, Ri In claps in applause for the wonderful song. Yoochun stood up and gave a light bow. Yunho tapped Ri In’s shoulder, which cause her attention to switch to him.
“Here…” Yunho handed a paper to Ri In. She scanned through and saw it was lyrics to a song.
“Timeless…?” Ri In read the title above, still questioning why they handed this to her.
“Ri In… the reason we ask you here is to ask you to sing a duet with Junsu for the upcoming school festival?” Jaejoong asked.
“ME?! I can’t…” Ri In struggle to hand back the paper to Jaejoong but Junsu took it and hand it back to her.
“I am sure you can do it…”
“How can you be sure I can do it? How do you even know if I can sing well?” Ri In argued, looking directly at Junsu.
“I… I just know okay!!” Junsu replied. He doesn’t know why but he felt he should keep it a secret that he knew she was the girl he met when he was young.
“Why don’t you give it a try? You already heard the melody… There is no harm to it.” Yoochun said, trying to persuade Ri In.
Ri In wanted to reject but seeing how they are setting their hopes on her, she decide to give it a shot.
Seeing Ri In’s nod in agreement, smiles appeared on the boys face, especially Junsu. Junsu pulled Ri In to stand beside him but he put back on his cold expression when Ri In looked at him.
“Follow my lead…” Junsu whispered to Ri In and she nodded.
[Song played: Timeless (Acoustic version)]
Yoochun played the piano in a more mild melody and Junsu starts singing his part. Ri In looks at her paper and when it was her turn to sing, she gave it her all and let the melody surround her.
{Wow… Junsu was right to pick her… She is good.} Jaejoong thought, while watching them sing.
[Song end]
Ri In was surprised that she managed to sing it till the end. Being indulge into the music, she didn’t realize she was making eye contact with Junsu the whole way singing the song. She suddenly felt her face hot as she was blushing so she looked away from Junsu. Junsu too clear his throat and switches his gaze to his gang.
“No question at all. Ri In… It is decided then.” Changmin said.
Ri In just lowered her head shyly. She still doubt she would be able to do it when the time comes but Junsu said they would do lots of practice to ensure it goes well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junsu was on his way to Ri In’s room when he heard singing coming from her room. He opened the door slightly and peeked in, seeing Ri In sitting on her bed looking at the lyrics and practicing hard on the song. He closed back the door and gave a few knocks.
“Come in…” Ri In turned her attention to the door and hid the lyric behind her. She was surprised to see Junsu was the one that came in.
“Erm… My mom asks me to call you down for dinner.” Junsu said, his hand rubbing the back of his head, looking like he was nervous to speak.
“Oh… Okay, I will be right down.”
Junsu saw Ri In hands placed behind her and knew she was hiding the lyric. He headed to the door about to exit when he spoke up with his back facing her.
“You don’t have to practice so hard… You can sing well… I have faith in you.”
“Huh?” Ri In’s heart skips a beat after Junsu finished. She was shocked at what she heard, but Junsu had already walked out. Was he concern about her? She leaned backward and rested on the bed. She took out the lyric reaching it high facing the ceiling and stared at it. A smile made its way to her face.
