25 - ☆: her improvement.

Yerim came to the Music club like usual, this time they were learning about drum instruments. She attentively watches how to play it, Jay is the one who teaches the instrument in front of the club members and he will call someone randomly to play and show if they are understood.

"Moon Yerim."

Her name being called by Jay, got her nervous because she's new and still needs a lot of teaching. She takes a sit in front of the drum and tries to remember the step Jay taught earlier.

"You can do it, Yerim."

Whispered Jay slowly to calm her down. Yerim then played it exactly like how Jay taught and finished it after done. She looked into everyone that suddenly quiet after she finished playing the drum.

'Did I do something wrong?'

Thinking her. Applause suddenly came from everyone, turn out they were impressed after hearing Yerim play the drum which came from someone new like her.

"Yerim, are you sure you're new?"

Asked Jay playfully as he was also impressed by how Yerim went with it well. Yerim smiled widely as she received a compliment from the club members, the way she was being treated in the Taekwondo club and Music club was totally different.

"Thank you," said Yerim as she was thankful to see everyone in the Music club appreciated her even though it was just a simple thing. After 2 hours, the club session ended as everyone had already shown their improvement in playing musical instruments.

Yerim ready herself to leave as everyone also left, but then Jay called her before she could leave. "Yerim." she turned around to look at him. "What?" asked her simply.

"Don't you want to stay? I see you improved a lot. I thought you wanted to learn more?"

Asked Jay, he basically wants to spend more time with Yerim by using those excuses. It feels bad to reject it but if she received more than every one of the club members in studying music from Jay, it's kinda not fair for them.

"I'm sorry Jay, but let's be fair. I don't want to receive more than everyone behind them. Some of them are also new too like me."

"I'll teach them too later, you don't have to worry." he rarely can see Yerim these days, that's why he sounds a bit desperate.

"No, I'm sorry Jay."

A bit self-proud of Yerim as she now can say no to someone, unlike before who always kept saying yes. However, Yerim can see how Jay's reaction turns sad but she has to do so because she doesn't want to disturb Jay anymore.

"How about your tutor? Have you found one already?" ask him. Yerim nodded right away.

"I've found one already, I'm understood right away whenever he teaches me."

"Oh, I guess that person is smart then."

Replied Jay without knowing that person was Jungwon. "If nothing important, then I'll leave. Thank you for teaching me today." Yerim walks away even though there's still a lot Jay wants to talk about with her.

Tomorrow morning, Yerim comes to the school while she still feels really sleepy, yesterday after coming back from a club session. She studied mathematics by herself since she didn't study it with Jungwon that day, and that's why she still had to study it by herself.

Yerim also studies it until she falls asleep on her table while sitting until morning. This morning she kept yawning all the way to the class. As she arrived, she saw Minji talking with others as if there's something happened.

"Yerim!" Yerim then walks closer to them with her sleepy eyes.

"Why?"

"They said the school will make a hiking trip next month, that will include our class and some of the seniors too. But it's not confirmed yet, they only heard that," explains Minji.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Yerim just replies to anything because she doesn't get it why are people excited over it? Everyone then continues to talk about it while Yerim walks away to her table, she's found a Jelly being put again like usual on her table with a note.

"If someone makes a terrible mistake to you, will you be able to forgive them?"

This was written on the note. "What do you mean by terrible mistake though?" muttered Yerim her forehead frowning as she was too exhausted to be thinking about anything this time.

"I see those notes too, this person slowly becoming weird to me," said Minji that suddenly talking from beside her.

"I know right, Is this person going to expect me to like them if they give me Jelly every day?" Yerim sigh.

She started to get sick of eating Jelly because of this person. Even seeing the Jelly in the store makes her go yuck as she always got Jelly from an anonymous person, if this still going further, Jelly would probably no longer be her favorite.
