Some were swaying their hands in the air to the beat of the music, some where shouting, some were taking pictures and videos with their phones, and those in the back were flashing flashlights in air.

Jin-Ae's heart was overflowing with happiness. She felt free; something she'd only feel when she singing, she felt the music calling to her, as she smiled and swayed. Suddenly she had a flashback....

Jin-Ae's Flashback: 10 years ago

"Mom does every song has a meaning behind it?" a naive seven year old Jin-Ae asked her mother who was teaching her the piano.

"Of course Jin-Ae, because a song tells a story and a story has a meaning." her mother chuckled patting her daughter's head.

"What do you mean mom?" Jin-Ae curiously asked.

"A song about love tells a story about love, if it's sad that means it was a heartbreaking love story, if it's happy then that means it was a beautiful love story. Those stories have meanings."

"Mom but how do I know what the meaning is?"

"First you have to figure out what the story is Jin-Ae," her mother explained.

"And how do I do that?" Jin-Ae smiled innocently.

"That's easy listen to the words in the song, not with your ears but with your heart. Then you'll know what the story is." her mom shared while looking at Jin-Ae's delightful expression as she pointed a finger towards her heart.

"But how will I know if it's a happy or sad story." Jin-Ae frowned.

"Just feel, feel the song. Use your heart; at hearing the words ask yourself how does it make you feel. Only then will you know the story it's telling, the feeling it's giving and the meaning behind it and after finding the meaning listen to what it's saying to you." her mother described.

She smiled and tucked Jin-Ae's loose hair behind her ears. After thinking about what her mother told her Jin-Ae stood up from the piano seat and faced her mom.

"Mom, why do I have to use my heart?"

Her mother gently held Jin-Ae's hands in her palms then spoke, "Silly girl, because our heart can never lie. When writing a song, we write what lies deep inside our heart; when we sing, we sing with our heart; when we listen, we listen with our heart."

PRESENT DAY

Jin-Ae opened her eyes, tears running down her face. Realizing that she was crying, she squeezed through the crowd behind her and ran towards the exit. Leaving the crowded noisy theater she headed towards the vending machine across from where she was standing.

Jin-Ae purchased a sneakers and subconsciously started walking towards the rooftop of the school.

Meanwhile in the theater

The boys were finished with their song. They waved at everyone who were loudly cheering their names as they headed towards the backstage.

"Hide in the moonlight," Yoon-Gi cheerfully sounded as Tae-Hyung playfully danced along.

"Is it just me or are their screams getting louder every time," Jungkook sarcastically asked, laughing towards Yoon-Gi and Tae-Hyung's rendering.

"Please, stay alive," Tae-Hyung vocalized still in a hyped up mood.

"I can't wait for the end of the year contest, I heard that their going to announce the theme at Friday's freshman orientation." Yoon-Gi announced excitingly.

"oh, yeah?" Jungkook queried as he threw his black backpack over his shoulder.

"Mhm," Yoon-Gi nodded.

"We can talk about that another time, I'm hungry," Tae-Hyung complained as both him and Yoon-Gi grabbed their backpacks and headed towards the exit with Jungkook.

Abruptly Jungkook's phone started ringing and he answered, "Hello."

"Hey, I heard you sang today." a girl replied. "Did you do well?" she then asked.

"Yeah, why?" Jungkook flirtatiously smiled.

"I have a surprise for you, meet me at the school's rooftop in ten if you're curious," the girl spoke, then hung up.

"You guys go without me, I have something to do, I'll see you at the dorm later," Jungkook excused as he fist bumped them and walked away heading to the rooftop leaving them in front of the theater.

"How much do you want to bet it's a girl," Yoon-Gi snarled leaning his head towards Tae-Hyung, as they both watched him walk away.

"Nothing, It's definitely a girl." Tae-Hyung claimed turning to face Yoon-Gi, "Where should we eat?" Tae-Hyung then asked placing his palm over his growling stomach.

"How about croissants at that new café behind the school." Yoon-Gi implied.

Licking his lips as if he was already tasting the food Tae-Hyung swiftly nodded his head saying, "Sounds good, we can bring back some for JK."

They then both turned and walked in the opposite direction of Jungkook heading towards the café.

10 minutes later: On the rooftop of the school

The rooftop door opened as Jungkook walked out seeing the girl waiting for him. She was wearing a white blouse with a short black ripped jeans. Her brown hair was let loose hanging all the way to the white belt on her jeans.

"Did you wait long?," he smiled.

She walked up to him thrust him against the wall, and kissed him. Although he was surprised as to what was happening; Jungkook gave in to the feeling of her body upon his, and her lips pressed against his lips. Before he knew it, his hands were placed on her waist and he was kissing her back.

Abruptly a plant pot broke. Jungkook quickly looked to see what caused the noise, only to see Jin-Ae standing there looking like she had been caught committing a crime.

After a few seconds of awkwardness Jin-Ae spoke out, "uh sorry for interrupting your, uh... little, session there but uh ,can you please do that some were other than on the exit?" she pointed at the door Jungkook was backed up on.

"Why don't you find the other exit?" Jungkook irritatingly commanded as he took a quick glance at the door and then continued to kiss the girl in the white blouse.

Jin-Ae scoffed.

"You do realize that other than this door and the other door on the other side of this roof, which is locked with a padlock by the way; the only other exit is to jump of the roof right?"

Jungkook broke off from the kiss at hearing her words and turned towards her.

"Then jump." he insisted walking towards her.

"What did you say?" Jin-Ae questioned wondering if she heard wrong.

Still slowly walking towards her Jungkook repeated, "You heard me, jump."
