When Yura woke up in the morning, Ihyun had already left, citing a breakfast meeting. She realized that, since getting married, she had never properly taken care of Ihyun’s morning routine. This fact dawned on her only after coming to her in-laws’ house.
Although she worried if something serious had happened, Mihee reassured her, saying Ihyun was always a person of few words about his comings and goings, and even she rarely witnessed him leaving for work properly. Thanks to Mihee, Yura went to work with a much lighter heart and welcomed a delightful guest early in the morning.
“Hello? I’m Jin Yura, the team leader.”
“Hello.”
Violinist Yun Gaeun, with her exotic appearance, greeted her with a shy nod.
Her face seemed young enough to be a high school student, making it hard to believe she was an adult. Minwoo Song, who didn’t meet Yura’s eyes, stepped forward and apologized.
“Please understand. This friend is quite shy.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
While handing over a fragrant herbal tea, Yura cautiously mentioned their plans for the future.
“First, we are considering the second half of this year. Could you tell us about the schedule for violinist Yun Gaeun’s performances?”
“Here is the current schedule of ongoing performances.”
As Yura looked at the schedule handed over by Minwoo, Gaeun, who had avoided eye contact since they met, spoke up.
“Um…”
Although Gaeun seemed to have a reserved personality, after speaking, she couldn’t continue immediately. Yura smiled, appearing calm, patiently waiting.
“Yes, please feel free to speak.”
“Osejin, the pianist.”
“Yes?”
“Is he going to perform?”
As soon as she arrived at the company, the concerns of the team members were about the possibility of Osejin’s performance. Although Baek Jinho publicly mentioned the termination of the contract, as it hadn’t progressed concretely, Yura couldn’t give a definite answer. In the current situation, considering the information disclosed by the media, she responded.
“Currently, we are considering canceling the performance at Songlim.”
“Then, am I going to perform instead?”
Yura expected this concern from Gaeun, and it didn’t catch her off guard. Performing instead of Osejin in such a situation would undoubtedly be burdensome for the parties involved. The news of Osejin’s second-half performance had already been reported in the media, making the situation even more challenging.
She didn’t want to burden the gentle and introverted Gaeun. Considering that they were contemplating the difficulty of recruiting artists in this situation, the team members, including Yura, were concerned about more than just reclaiming the top spot; they might have to give up even the second spot.
However, Yura didn’t want to make Gaeun feel pressured. With experience and the ability to handle any situation skillfully, Yura carefully chose her words.
“You don’t have to worry. We will adjust the schedule according to your preferences.”
“Well, I want to avoid that time.”
“Yes, we will adjust the schedule to your liking.”
Yun Gaeun’s face, which seemed a bit dark, finally brightened. It was ambiguous whether it was due to her introverted nature or worry about the issue. Regardless, she expressed gratitude for the non-rejection and discussed the schedule.
“Um, do you have a preferred schedule?”
“As you can see, Gaeun’s schedule extends until September. We’re thinking of taking a break and planning a performance around the end of the year.”
Minwoo Song replied.
“How long do you expect the break to be?”
“We’re thinking about two months.”
Yura, while examining the schedule, contemplated the event performances they had planned for the second half of the year.
“Well, how about shortening the break a bit and having the performance in November, avoiding the end of the year? We want the performance to end before the year-end.”
Observing Yura’s careful words, Minwoo recalled the typical year-end performances. Every art center had planned performances with various themes for families or lovers, satisfying audience demands. Performances targeting family or romantic audiences filled the theaters during the year-end.
“Ah, there is a planned performance at the end of the year.”
“Of course, we are also preparing for performances targeting the end of the year. However, it seems that year-end performances are mainly focused on family or romantic audiences, making it challenging to fill the seats.”
Minwoo fully agreed with Yura’s words. Traditional classical performances weren’t popular among the general public. Moreover, during the year-end, the flow of attending performances changed depending on who you were with.
If they didn’t plan to perform mainly different and familiar things, avoiding the end of the year would be appropriate. Especially considering Gaeun’s preference for perfect classical performances, it was clear that audience preferences were distinctly divided.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
