Seven.
They all sat quietly around the table except for Jokwon who was giving instructions to the staff members.
Soon, speakers, a microphone and an electric keyboard were put in place.
"Ah! Ahh!", Jokwon tested the mic, but a loud shrill like feedback escaped from the speakers. Gain gave him a distasteful look.
Jokwon smiled innocently at them, "I'm sorry Yeobo".
"Are we set?", he then asked the sound technicians who nodded in response.
"Alright! Without further ado, Kim Bumsoo", he happily announced. They all applauded as the singer approached the small stage.
Hwangbo could not believe her eyes. She stared blankly at the stage.
"Good evening", Bumsoo's voice was smooth as silk as he greeted everyone. "This is a new song from my new album. I hope you like it."
Music soon filled the garden. Jokwon took Gain to the center, and they danced to the slow music. Half way through the song, Jokwon forced Hwangbo to dance taking no for an answer. Followed by Gain, who danced with Hyunjoong.
They all stopped to applaud the ballad singer when the song ended.
"Thank you. Is there a song you guys would like to hear now?", Bumsoo asked.
"Bogoshipda!!", Gain and Jokwon shrieked in unison.
When the pianist hit the first notes, Hwangbo stood frozen. It was like she started to shrivel. She felt like running away or sinking back into her shell. The memories of them wreaked havoc in her brain, popping like mushrooms everywhere. Nothing else seemed clear except for the memory of him and the old piano when he finally memorized the whole song for her. She blindly walked back to her seat, but she stepped on a rock and almost lost her balance. Someone broke her fall. When she looked up, it was him. She was wrapped in his embrace again, and it felt warm and fuzzy. But the nostalgia was too powerful. She tried to push him away, but he was too strong, so much stronger than she'd anticipated.
"Isn't this Noona's favorite song?" Jokwon asked. "Dance with her, Hyung!", he urged Hyunjoong.
