"Yerin, wake up!", a rough and manly yet warm voice approached Yerin as she got up from her bed. "Good morning, Mr Lee! What time is it?", she greeted the man, standing beside her bed, wearing a grey suit.

"There are exactly thirty minutes left for your first day of high school to begin.", he replied with a warm smile on his face as he bowed to her and left the room.

"What?! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!", she exclaimed. "I did but you were all sound asleep. Here is your breakfast.", he replied. "No time. Let me get ready quickly.", she said as she grabbed a loaf of bread and went to get ready.

"Yay! Finally, I'm a highschool student!", she exclaimed as they both got in the car. "You seem like you will explode at any moment. What are you? Five?", Mr Lee mocked at her.

"Can't you at least pretend to be more uprising and cheerful? I know that this year you will be thirty three but then also.", she tamed him.

"It is not about being old, it is about being more matured.", he stated. "Yes sure, rusty man.", she replied with her arms crossed.

"Right on time.", Mr Lee said as they reached the school. "Then see you later!", she waved at him as she entered the huge school building. "The smell of being in high school.", she murmured to herself.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! They are gonna start the concert at the auditorium soon!", one of the girls from the crowd screamed as they were heading towards the auditorium. "Them? Sounds fun.", Yerin mumbled to herself as she also decided to follow the crowd.

The hall was full of screaming audience. It looked as if some kind of an idol was about to make their entry. All she could hear in those screams was the word FULL.

"Full? How ridiculous!", she giggled. "Hey! Watch your mouth.", Yerin turned around to discover a girl staring at her with dead eyes.

"Excuse me? Big world, independent people. My choice whatever I have to say.", Yerin said as she glared back at her. "You're right! Big world, independent people but that doesn't give you the right to insult our boys!", she yelled at Yerin.

"Our boys? Who are you? Their mom?", Yerin mocked at her. "Watch your mouth. In this school, no one can say a single word against FULL.", the other girl standing beside warned Yerin.

"What-", she enquired as she was interrupted by the increasing volume of the screams as the curtains of the stage was gradually pulled up. She could see three boys, each of them were carrying a different type of instrument in their hands.

They kind of came off different. It arose as if they were encircled by their own set of spotlights. "Hello Everyone! We're FULL!", one of them introduced themselves.

"How have you all been? Can't believe we're seniors now! We three are thrilled to help out our pretty, handsome and amazing juniors.", he proceeded.

"There have been many requests on our official page and we are overwhelmed by your love.

It is certainly a shame that we won't be able to play all the songs.

So, here we are in front of you with the top three most requested songs.", the other one said. "The first song, Life Goes On by none other than BTS!", they exclaimed.

It appeared as if they had used a spell in the entire hall. All the students were dazzled with joy and excitement.

"1 2 3 4 start!", the one holding the drumsticks instructed. The melody of the music circulated in the entire hall. It was beautiful.

Yerin couldn't stop herself but swing along with every beat of the music. She could have never been happier than at this moment.

Without her realizing she was already humming out loud as if nobody else was there. She felt thrilled for the first time in her life.

All these years, all she had ever done was what her mother had told her to do.

Up until now, she had no idea that few jumbled notes could ever make her swing in the air. "Are you guys having fun?!", one of them exclaimed as he grabbed a bottle of water.

"Yes!", the audience replied. "Here's the second song, View by Shinee!", he continued. All the songs they sang were mesmerizing. It was fun. "Now, the final song, Regulus by Onewe!", they exclaimed.

"𝑇𝒉𝑒 π‘›π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’ π‘œπ‘“ 𝑑𝒉𝑒 π‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘Ÿ π‘€π’‰π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ 𝐼 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠

It seemed as if the ratio of girls in the audience was more than that of boys. Everyone was wearing a warm smile on their face but no one would've ever imagined what was about to happen.

The one who seemed like the lead vocalist forgot the chord of the music. He was playing the guitar. He seemed to be panicking.

The other members were trying to calm him down. They seemed to be in a puzzle. The audience also seemed as if they were in a substantial disappointment.

At that time, Yerin could have never thought that the decision made by her could have changed her whole world.
