In one of thergest theaters in New York City, an orchestra is ying a masterpiece grandly. However, the conductor was not satisfied with their training results, so he told them to rest before starting again.


    The conductor approached Kaylee, who was still sitting on the piano chair while watching the song''s music sheet. Just like the conductor, Avan, Kaylee felt that something was missing from this song.


    "Roe, what do you think of our recital just now?"


    "I think it''s pretty amazing," answered Kaylee politely. "But... I feel that something is missing."


    Avan snapped his fingers delightedly that his pianist was thinking the same thing as him.


    "Exactly. I also feel it, but I can''t find any w at all. The strings sound perfect, and there was no fals voice, so were the brass yers. Their breathing matches the rhythm of the strings'' melody, and the tempo also stable. So what''s the missing piece?"


    Kaylee also thought the same thing and did not know the fault of this masterpiece entitled Wonderful Day.


    After scrutinizing every note in her sheet book, Kaylee still couldn''t find what was missing. She was still too busy looking for this unknown something missing, so she didn''t realize that someone had arrived and entered the practice room secretly.


    "All right, it''s half-past seven now. Let''s repeat this song one more time." all musicians approved the suggestion of the conductor, and each one returned to their respective seats.


    After the string yers were ready with their instruments as well as the brass yers, the conductor raised his hands. After turning to Kaylee to give a signal, Avan lowered his hands, followed by a majestic brass sound as the song''s opening.


    As Kaylee expected, all the NYA yers were professional yers and were the best in their respective fields. The way they yed the instruments and the stable tempo were so perfect that it''s hard to find fault.


    But… Kaylee still felt something was missing. She even was not satisfied with herself ying the piano.


    Really… what''s wrong with all of them? Or perhaps, there''s something wrong with the song?


    After ying Wonderful Day, whichsted nearly thirty minutes, the conductor decided to end their practice.


    Each of them tidied up their own instruments except Kaylee because she didn''t have to fix the piano as it would be staying in this room. Instead, Kaylee looked back at the sheet music scores with a probing and questioningly looked.


    She was too engrossed in her search to notice that her group members were whispering about someone to catch the conductor''s attention. Avan was puzzled by the sight of his orchestra members staring at a corner of this practice room.


    When the man in histe thirties turned his head towards the target, his pair of eyes were wide opened.


    Isn''t that person Den ck? What are the RSH pianists doing here? Did hee here to spy on their practice?


    After all, it''s December, and in three months there will be apetition for the position of the best orchestra in the country.


    He did not expect that the RSH orchestra was ying dirty so openly.


    But why did that man look closely at his pianist? He couldn''t possibly want to recruit his best pianist in the world, right?


    "Pst... pst..." Avan called Kaylee in a low voice like a whisper to break the girl''s reverie. "Roe... Roe!"


    Only when Avan called her a little bit louder, Kaylee tilted her head in confusion.


    "Yes, sir Avan?"


    "Take a look there. We have uninvited spies."


    Ha? An uninvited spy?


    Kaylee shifted her gaze in the conductor''s direction, and her face flushed when she saw Den smile at her while waving once to greet her.


    Den''s small gesture made all of the NYA members, including Avan, gasped in shock. The whispers grew louder as if they didn''t care whether Den and Kaylee would hear them or not.


    "The man greets Roe."


    "Is it possible he came because of Roe?"


    "You think they are dating?"


    Kaylee suddenly felt her body being showered with dozens of curious eyes staring at her.


    Nervous and trying her best to put on an expressionless face, Kaylee closed her sheet book and put it in her bag.


    "Sir Avan, thank you for today, and see you next week." Kaylee immediately walked over to Den and promptly invited the man to get out of this practice room.


    Den could barely contain hisughter when he saw the blush all over Kaylee''s face.


    As soon as the two of them exited the room and the practice room door closed tightly, the atmosphere inside became excited.


    "They are dating?!"


    "Geez! Who would have thought the silent Ice Queen Roe ended up hooking up a man one day?"


    "Hmph! They are like Romeo and Juliet." quipped Avan, seemed not to like seeing Roe''s closeness to his rival''s pianist.


    "Aiya, sir Avan. Our two orchestra groups are not hostile to each other until they bleed. Don''t pray that the two of them have a tragic romance like that fictional character."


    Well, the truth was that Avan doesn''t mind if Den and Roe were seeing each other. But he was annoyed that the rival''s pianist had listened to their practice.


    The man must haveughed at their unsatisfactory performance, which made Avan very upset, especially when he realized that Den ck tried to hold back hisughter.


    Little did he know, Den was holding back hisughter because of his innocent lover''s funny behavior and notughing at his orchestra group y.


    As soon as the two arrived at the theater''s main door, Kaylee stopped walking and turned towards Den.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that you arrive?"


    "I don''t want to interfere with your practice. Besides, I love watching you y the piano."


    Here wee, another praise attack that made her heart jumped out of its ce. Kaylee lowered her head in a shy manner, making Den want to tease her by also lowering his head to see her face.


    "You don''t need to feel embarrassed every time you hear mypliment. Because I like you more and fell in love all over again every time I see you."


    Kaylee bit her lip as she nced at Den, who smiled broadly at her, making the poor bunny unable to breathe.


    She did not know that this man could smile broadly like this. Isn''t this guy usually very stingy with a smile?


    But as soon as this man smiled at her, Kaylee felt that someone had stolen her breath.


    "Come on, let''s go before it gets toote," urged Den while holding her hand.


    She didn''t know why, but it seemed that man couldn''t live without holding her hand, and for some reason, Kaylee was getting used to his touch, so she didn''t mind every time he grasped her hand without her permission.


    It''s just… is it normal for an ordinary friend to hold hands? Could it be that this man thought of her as his lover?


    Kaylee wanted to ask, but she was afraid to hear the answer. No. She didn''t even know what kind of answer she wanted to hear.


    Kaylee was oblivious of what her heart wanted, but she knew she had absolutely nothing against him touching her skin. Whether when holding hands, or when the man gently stroked the top of her head, or when the man kissed the back of her hand, Kaylee couldn''t find herself hating all the man''s gentle touch.


    Den invited her to have a quick dinner at one of the restaurants, and it was after ordering their food that Kaylee opened her mouth to speak.


    Only, she couldn''t ask about their ambiguous rtionship, so she decided to ask another question.


    "Did you hear our practice?"


    "I did."


    "What do you think?"


    "You want to ask my opinion regarding your orchestra group y or your performance?"


    "Eh? Didn''t I y together with the group?"


    "It is true. But my eyes and ears only see and hear your y."


    Kaylee nearly choked on her saliva and tried to clear her throat a few times to calm her beating heart.


    "Have you been looking for sweet words on the intetely? You''re getting better at uttering those cheesy lines," muttered Kaylee while lowering her head.


    Den chuckled at this. "I just say what''s on my mind. I don''t find it cheesy. But, if you do ask for my opinion regarding your group, something is missing from your performance."


    Exactly. That''s what Kaylee thought and wanted to know what other people like Den thought about their recital rehearsal. Kaylee wanted to ask, but she didn''t know if Den was willing to give a suggestion to his rival group.


    However, Den proved her wrong. The man startled her by continuing his sentence.


    "You are too perfect, and you have no soul in your performance. Even you were overthinking in the middle of y so that the sound you produce sounded dull."


    "…" This is the first time someone has criticized her ying.


    What would Kaylee''s reaction be like?
