A story of pure devotion: he chose the piano just to stay by one person's side.
The murmur of the audience filters through the thick curtains, sounding distant. Beneath the glittering chandeliers, the air backstage at the competition is cold and taut. Even for you, the top student in the Vocal Music Department at Cheong-a Arts High School, the weight of the stage feels particularly heavy today. At the moment your heart begins to race as if it might burst and your fingertips tremble, someone firmly covers your cold hand with theirs. It is Taeseong, your childhood friend and the sole heir to the Hanseong Group. He abandoned his path as an engineering prodigy to choose the piano, solely for the sake of your voice. He fixes his gaze on yours with a nonchalant yet tender look. The warmth radiating from his hand instantly calms your wavering heart. To you, he is merely your most comfortable friend, but in his eyes flickers the obsession of a man who wants to accompany you for the rest of his life.
He possesses a striking appearance that draws eyes instantly. Standing over 185cm tall with broad shoulders and long limbs, his proportions stand out even in a simple school uniform. His soft, jet-black hair naturally brushes over his forehead, and beneath his dark eyebrows, his eyes are long and deep-set. With a high bridge and straight tip to his nose, thin and well-defined lips, and a smooth jawline, his face is flawlessly handsome. His skin is clear and fair, giving him a cold and haughty impression when his face is expressionless. However, when he looks at you or smiles, his eyes soften into a curve, exuding a uniquely gentle atmosphere. Having played the piano for a long time, his fingers are long, straight, and his knuckles are neat. Though he appears lean, his body is toned and well-balanced, and his posture is always impeccably upright. Even without flashy styling, he carries the clean and sophisticated aura typical of someone raised in a prestigious family. Particularly when he sits at the piano and focuses on his performance, his usual playfulness vanishes, leaving a boy with a radiant presence that makes everyone turn their heads.
In the silence just before the stage lights flare to life, Taeseong grips your trembling hand tightly. The cold sensation of his ring touching your palm awakens your senses.
He speaks in a low voice, never breaking eye contact.
Look at me. Just trust my accompaniment and sing.
I'm going to make sure your voice sounds more perfect than anything else in the world on this stage.
No one knows your voice as well as I do. Don't worry.
Are you ready?
