Boring.
Inside the concert hall, where beautiful piano melodies flowed, Taesang’s gaze toward the stage was dry and indifferent.
He played because he was told to play, and he participated in the competition because he was told to. It’s not that he hated the piano, but it wasn’t something he particularly enjoyed.
However, there was only one reason Taesang didn’t quit playing the piano.
The child who used to hand him bread with a bright smile. He wanted to see that child, who was as lovely as her actions, again.
Of course, there was no certainty. He just had a vague hope that if he continued playing the piano, he might meet her again someday.
Taesang threw a bored glance at the audience. Rather than the predictable hand movements, it seemed better to watch the people.
Expressions of enthusiastic support, eyes glancing at watches, heads nodding to the rhythm.
As his gaze wandered aimlessly, a familiar face caught his eye. Taesang momentarily doubted his own eyes.
It was Handa Jeong, the girl who used to look at him and engage in various antics without realizing he was there. She twisted her body when bored, tapped her toes, and sometimes even watched the stage.

Even after watching for a while, it wasn’t boring. Instead, it was so cute that laughter kept bubbling up.
After my turn, I should go meet her. Will she remember me? He hoped so.
Filled with anticipation, Dajeong discreetly got up from her seat. It seemed strange that she was sneaking out of the audience while looking around.
She didn’t seem to have told her parents.
Worry gnawed at Taesang’s heart. He quickly stood up from his seat. Just in case he missed her, his footsteps up the stairs quickened.
The lobby of the main building was warm with the hot summer air. Taesang unbuttoned his concert attire and looked around busily.
Where is she…?
At the end of his wandering gaze, the swaying hem of a pink dress appeared. Dajeong, who had somehow left the main entrance, was descending the external stairs.
Taesang followed Dajeong with a puzzled expression.
Here…

Construction materials scattered around, a large truck that seemed to have stopped, the construction work in progress—Star Hall was undergoing a major renovation. It didn’t seem like a place where outsiders could enter, let alone sneak in.
Taesang quickly entered the lobby. Blocking the entrance to the concert hall, he caught Dajeong’s surprised gaze. She didn’t recognize who he was.
Offering his hand to go back, Dajeong unexpectedly uttered a different remark.
“I’m not looking for anyone. So, I want to hang out here.”
Although she wore a carefree expression, there was something lonely about her.
If I stay with her, will it bring even a little comfort? Just as Dajeong had done for me, can I also provide comfort to Dajeong?
A strange excitement, or a swelling emotion. Taesang, captivated by unknown feelings, did something he wouldn’t normally do.
“Yeah. Then, let’s stay here.”
With that one word, Dajeong’s face lit up brightly. It seemed like a good idea to suggest staying together. Taesang opened the large door to the concert hall wide.
Seats covered with sheets, scattered metal objects, and a grand piano visible in the distance.
Dajeong seemed eager to play the piano. However, she thought she shouldn’t play because her skills were not good enough.

Taesang led Dajeong onto the stage.
Throughout the duet, they couldn’t stop laughing with joy.
“I played this piece all the way to the end for the first time!”
Looking at the smiling face, Taesang unknowingly smiled too.
It was strange. When he was with Dajeong, the corners of his mouth kept lifting. Something warm seemed to emanate from his chest, as if basking in the sunlight of a spring day.
Could we play the piano together again? He hoped so.
Lost in such thoughts, suddenly, the ceiling bulb made a sharp noise and shattered.
Smoke emanating from the empty hole seemed ominous. Taesang grabbed Dajeong’s hand and quickly ran up the stairs.
Reaching the entrance and trying to grab the handle, the large door didn’t budge. Taesang quickly looked around. There were no windows, and no other entrances.
If we go to the second floor…

There would surely be a door leading outside on the second floor of the concert hall. Taesang quickly fetched a ladder and leaned it against the outer wall of the second floor.
“Can’t I come with you?”
Dajeong was afraid to stay alone.
It would be good if they could go together, but the ladder was a bit short. Even if she climbed all the way up, she would have to cross the railing like a tightrope walker at the end.
If she slipped even a little, it wouldn’t end well. Taesang quickly told Dajeong to wait and climbed the ladder.
“But…”
“Just stay here quietly!”
“Ah!”
The moment he turned around, he accidentally pushed Dajeong’s chest with his shoulder. Dajeong, standing at the edge of the stairs, lost her balance and quickly fell backward.
Taesang desperately reached out, but there was nothing to catch but empty space.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
