"You think I play the piano because I like it, right?" Seoji asked, which confused Jungkook.
"I didn't do it because I liked it, I did it because my late mother really liked the sound of the piano when I was little," Seoji said to Jungkook, which made Jungkook not believe those words because when Jungkook first saw Seoji's piano playing, it looked so extraordinary to him.
"Since my mother left, there was nothing I liked until one day my mother came into my dream asking me to play the music she used to play in front of me. When my fingers started to touch the piano notes, for some reason my longing for my mother just flowed out" Seoji told his past sincerely to Jungkook in front of him who was still faithfully listening to his chatter
"and finally! I love the piano again now. Because when I start playing it, I feel my mother's feelings with me" he said and smiled
"I hope that can happen to you too, don't give up before trying, the all-rounder Jeon Jungkook!" he said again encouraging Jungkook before stepping back into the classroom.
Seoji, who was walking away from where Jungkook was standing, looked back.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let's go in. The lesson will start soon," Seoji said, making Jungkook stop thinking about Seoji's words. Then Jungkook followed Seoji.
They walked side by side, occasionally chatting, which unknowingly brought smiles and small laughs to both of them.
*************
After the incident in the park, Seoji and Jungkook's relationship improved. They grew closer, and they could talk about trivial matters, small things, or even breaking news happening in their city or country.
As they spent each day together, it was safe to say that Seoji and Jungkook had become good friends. The incident in the park also opened Jungkook's mind even more, and he began auditioning for various music companies.
Jungkook is very diligent in following all the existing auditions until he doesn't realize that time has brought him to the final grade at his school, now he is a senior student who is only waiting for his graduation ceremony, he studies and sings diligently every day, not forgetting that there is Seoji as a good friend who supports Jungkook in every practice and always respects Jungkook's decisions, not only Seoji, but also Yugyeom, Mingyu, and Jangjun who are the same as Jungkook who are now diligent in achieving their dreams.
Unlike Jungkook and the others, Seoji only accompanies them in discussions and occasionally gives them opinions or criticism.
