Chapter One
Jun's eyes had not moved nor blinked as she continued to stare at the poster in front of her. She could feel her heartbeat racing with excitement the moment she read through the name written on the poster.
"What have you been staring at for so long?" Jun felt a pat on her shoulder but her eyes remained on the poster not at all noticing the presence of another. A little surprised at how Jun reacted, her friend Melissa too looked to the poster that hung on the their school noticeboard.
Immediately Melissa understood why Jun acted the way she did. With excitement she called in disbelief, "No way, Tsukimori Len is having a concert here in this city?!"
Finally Jun's eyes looked to her friend as an expression of indescribable joy covered her face, "I know. As a world class violinist he has only ever performed in Europe."
"What brought him here then?" Melissa asked.
A mysterious smile appeared on Jun's face, "Don't you know? Apparently Len was a graduate from this college. This city was his home town"
"No way!" Stunned by the shocking news Melissa exclaimed. "You are telling me that the world's number one violinist is a graduate from our little pathetic music college?"
Hearing what her friend said, Jun smiled and defended softly, "Our school is not that bad. It is a traditional and noble school that has been established for over a century." Pausing a shade of pink painted Jun's face as she whispered, 'Most of all, Len was once a student here too…"
"You're right," Melissa nodded. "If the world's number one violinist was once a student here, then this makes this music college more valuable. But if that was true, then why don't they ever promote it? It would bring so many more students and money into the school!"
Jun's eyes turned back to the poster again and sighed. "Everything that relates to Tsukimori Len had always been such a mystery. Although he is so famous and well known, his photographs were never published. No video recordings were ever allowed in all his concerts and all his CDs had no profile on him."
"I guess that's the selling point." Melissa agreed. "If no one knew what Tsukimori Len looks like or how old he is, that mysteriousness about him will make people want to pay more to go to his concerts."
Jun gave another sigh as her eyes looked to the price of the concert tickets displayed on the poster. "But I guess it would be so worth the money to be able to go to his concert. After all it was his music that rescued me when I was in the lowest time of my life."
Jun's mother passed away in a car accident when Jun was in high school Jun had once wanted to become a piano teacher like her mother, but because of the sudden loss of her mother, Jun had thought of giving up her dream. However it was not until she overheard Tsukimori Len's violin over the radio that she felt alive once again. Len's music was not just any music, it was something that captured and rescued Jun. It gave her dream back to her. Immediately she bought his CD and played it over and over again. Whenever she was depressed and sad, his violin would always touch her heart and lift her once again.
"So, how are you planning to pay for the tickets?" Melissa asked.
"I guess I can work for longer hours at the restaurant that I am currently working at." Jun obviously had already thought through the plan.
"Cool, I guess I have to start saving money too. We have to go together! I want to see what this mysterious man actually looks like. Hope we did not pay all this money to go see an old ugly bald man."
"Melissa, we are there for his music!" Jun giggled at her friend's comment. Yes, no matter what the cost is, she will save the money to buy the concert ticket of her most admired musician.
"Jun, can you bring these orders to table four?"
"Sure." Jun quickly picked up the tray of food placed on the counter. As she had planned for, working extra hours at her part time job is starting to help her save money for the concert ticket.
"Thank you Jun, here is your pay for the extra hours you have worked here." Jun's manager smiled and passed her an envelope. Jun felt her heart pumping as she held the envelope tightly in her hand. Finally she can afford to go to Len's concert. Nothing can stop her now!
After leaving the restaurant and heading towards the train station, Jun felt someone following her. With fear Jun walked faster and terror increased when she heard the footstep behind her coming rapidly towards her.
Before Jun could scream for help a man in a black beanie and biker's jacket rushed up to her and grabbed her handbag off her. In shock Jun tried to grasp the handbag back but it became a useless attempt as the man swung his elbow and pushed Jun hard towards a pole.
With the force Jun felt her head smashed against the concrete pole and by the time she regained her consciousness the robber was long gone with her handbag. Struggling onto her feet she felt drowsiness overlapped her as she sat back down onto the ground.
"Are you alright? Miss?"
Jun heard a voice asked in concern as a man rushed up to her. Slowly opening her eyes again she saw a young man about the age of mid to late twenties looking at her with worries.
"I…I," Jun tried to explain to the kind stranger what had just happened. However surprised she could not put her words together she felt extreme drowsiness overwhelmed her as she knew no more.
Opening her eyes again she was surprised to find herself in the hospital from the smell of disinfectants and medication and the white blankets that covered her. She frowned when she sensed a stabbing pain on her forehead. As a reflex she lifted her hand to feel her forehead and found that there were bandages around her head.
"How are you feeling?"
Jun turned to the voice and found the same kind young man that she saw before she last had consciousness.
"I am in the hospital? What had happened?" Jun asked as she tried to sit up.
"You had a concussion when you injured your head, luckily the cut on your forehead wasn't too bad so you only needed a few stitches." The young man explained warmly.
"Thank…thank you." Jun said quickly when she realised an unknown stranger had just brought her to the hospital. She did not know what to say when she had two distinctive treatments in one night from two strangers.
"No big deal, I work here anyway. Luckily I found you just when I was on my way home from work." The young man replied in politeness. "Another good news is you will be able to return home when you are ready."
"Thank…thank you." Jun said quickly again.
The young man replied her with another smile as he picked up the folder next to her bed. "Sorry, just for paperwork's sake, can I grab a few details off you?"
Jun nodded as she answered his questions. Taking a peek at the man in front of her she noticed the lab boat he was wearing and the ID badge with it. Jun understood immediately what he meant by him working here in the hospital. Jun blushed immediately when she realised how beautiful he actually was. His long thick eyelashes and eyes of magical colours, even those lips were just perfect. It was like any girl's dream to be rescued by a handsome stranger.
"Can you describe as clear as possible how you were injured?" Not noticing her focus the handsome young doctor continued to ask the questions frsom his paperwork.
"I…I was robbed…" Jun quickly pulled her focus back and replied.
"Robbery?" The young doctor looked up at Jun immediately in concern. "Did the robber hurt you in any other way?"
Tears came up immediately in Jun's eyes when she remembered her days of extra hard work to be able to buy Len's concert tickets became wasted. Now there was no way she could ever afford to go to his concert. That was what could hurt her the most.
"It's alright, take your time. If you wish to report the incident to the police I can accompany you." The young doctor comforted mistaking the reason she was upset.
Jun shook her head as she quickly dried her tears, "No, it's not that. I was upset over something else."
The young doctor did not say anything but watched with care. Gently he passed her a box of tissues. "Where do you live? I will take you home. It is not safe for ladies to travel home alone in this hour."
"No it's fine. I can not possibly bother you any more. Most of all you are still working." Jun declined quickly in politeness.
At this time the door opened and a nurse walked in. When she saw the young doctor, she called in surprise, "Doctor Ryo, how come you are still here? I thought you were finally off duty after your last long thirty-six hour shift?"
The young doctor laughed and shrugged his shoulders, "This lady here was hurt when I was leaving so I brought her back to help treat her."
"You could have just left her with the other doctors on call. You have not had a rest for over forty hours now. Go home and rest immediately!" The nurse teased and rushed him like a caring mother.
Although not knowing what was going on, by now Jun had figured that this young doctor had stayed awake for over forty hours now because of her. Quickly turning to the young doctor she apologised, "I am so sorry to have kept you here. I could not possibly bother you any longer. Please go home and rest."
"Alright, alright. Since I have done this much already, I will take you home and make sure you are safe then I will go home, how about that?" Passing the folder to the nurse he instructed. "I have confirmed that the patient is fine to go. Can you check her out?"
The nurse sighed and shook her head. Turning to Jun she smiled warmly, "Please come with me."
Jun's eyes opened a little with surprise at the same time feeling her heart so moved when she saw the young doctor really waited for her at the foyer.
"All done? I will take you home now." His smile was still so warm like sunshine. Gradually Jun felt her whole mind and heart was taken and drowned in his bright beautiful smile. For the first time Jun felt that his smile had also healed the wound inside her heart like Tsukimori Len's music had.
"Here you go.' The young doctor said as he stopped the car in front of her house. Turning to Jun he wrote down on a piece of paper a phone number and passed it to Jun. "Here is my mobile number, if you have decided to report to the police about the theft give me a call, I will help in any way I can."
Jun held the piece of paper tightly in her hand and felt her heart pumping fast like a little girl in love. "Thank…thank you doctor…"
"It's Ryo. Just call me Ryo." He continued for her. Passing her another bag he instructed, 'Here are the bandages and pain-killers for the stitches on your forehead. Two weeks later you can come in for another check up but I think you will be fine."
Jun nodded and knew although to him he was just looking after his patient but to her it was the warmest treatment she had ever received from anyone. Jun stood outside her door as she watched him drove off in his car. Jun breathed out a deep breath and realised with a smile that she had fallen in love.
"Jun?!"
Suddenly the front door swung open as a middle-aged man rushed out in haste. When he saw the bandages around her forehead he asked in shock. "What happened? Where have you been?!"
"Dad," Jun smiled with apology. "Had a little accident. Met a robbery."
"Robbery?!" Jun's father was in even more shock. "I told you it was not safe to work that late in the restaurant! I have already lost your mother and if anything else happens to you…"
"I am fine dad…" Jun comforted quickly.
With a sigh Jun's dad held onto his head as he whispered to himself. "I knew it will not be safe to leave you here alone…"
"Dad?"
"Remember the project that my company had invested more than two hundred million dollars in?" Jun's dad asked as the both of them seated down in the living room.
Jun nodded in acknowledgment and waited for her father to continue.
"Well, my manager had been appointed to be the project manager for the assignment, and he had asked me to become his right hand man in assisting him in this project."
"Wow! That is great news right?! You have always wanted this kind of opportunity!" Jun held her father's hand in excitement.
"I know but," Jun's father paused and let out a sigh. "I have to be overseas for two years minimum."
"That means…?"
Jun's father nodded. "I can not leave you here alone especially after what had happened to you tonight. At the same time my company had mentioned that I am not allowed to bring family with me."
"I will be fine!" Jun said quickly. "I am an adult now, I can take care of myself!" She would hate to see her father giving up such an opportunity for her.
"No, Jun. I was already worried about your wellbeing and now after what had happened to you tonight, there is no way I am going to let you stay here in this house by yourself. Luckily my manager had already made me an offer to let you stay at his place while we are both away."
"Your manager's place? You don't think that's kind of weird?" Jun asked reluctantly.
"No, I believe you will love it there. It is quite close to your school and most of all they also have a grand piano in the house for you to practise on."
"Grand piano?" Jun was surprised.
"Yes, apparently his wife was a piano teacher too like your mother. She had mentioned having you around will be so much of a help since she only had sons to accompany her." Jun's father explained softly, "I have also mentioned to him how well you have looked after me ever since your mother passed away. If it was not for you Jun, I couldn't have moved on…"
Jun blushed after her father said that. With a smile she hugged her father tight. "You have helped me move on too dad."
"I will come back to visit as much as I can, I promise I will write too."
"After telling me you can not go to the concert any more, you have decided to move out?" Melissa teased when she saw Jun showed up today at school with two extra bags.
Jun blushed hearing such tease from her friend. "No, you know how much I wanted to go to the concert, but if it's not for the robbery I would have bought the tickets already…"
Melissa smiled and helped Jun carry one of her bags, "So your father wants you to move into his manager's house while they are away. I remembered you mentioned that they have two sons right?" Pausing, Melissa leaned close and whispered. "Are you kind of excited that there might be romances happening with you and your new house mates?"
"Melissa!" Jun complained again as she felt her cheeks burning hot with embarrassment. "It is not going to happen! Besides I have already found my dream prince…" Jun's voice became soft and thin towards the end of her sentence.
"Oh yeah, the young handsome doctor that saved you right? Is he really that cute?" Melissa asked with interest.
Jun lowered her head and nodded, the admirations and stars in her eyes says it all.
"Oh wow, I wish that will happen to me…" Melissa gave a sigh. "So now you have his number are you going to call him?"
"But…but you don't think it's weird if I called? Do you think he will think I am a very aggressive girl?" Jun asked quickly.
"If he gave you the number, he wanted you to call. Why else would he give you his mobile number? It is a pretty personal number you know." Melissa encouraged.
Jun felt her heart rejoiced when she heard what Melissa said. So…he actually wanted her to keep in contact with him like Melissa said?
"Anyway, so who is picking you up to take you to the new house?" Melissa asked as the both of them waited at the front gate because Jun's father mentioned that his manager's son would pick her up from school to take her back to the new house.
"I think the elder son is coming, I hope he can find me all right. After all we have never met." Jun replied as she looked again towards the cars that drove into the street.
"I am sure he can find you, you are the only person here with two huge bags." Melissa teased again.
While they were talking, a black Rover stopped just in front of the school gate. Jun felt her heart gave a huge thump when she saw the car. This car, the number plate, she had seen them before!
Jun felt her heart rate increased rapidly when she saw a young handsome man walked out of the car towards them. When he saw her, his eyes also widened a little in surprise as he came up quickly and greeted with the warm smile that Jun had missed so much.
"Jun? It is you that is moving in with us?" His tone also showed happiness to find out the unbelievable coincidence.
"Dr…Dr Ryo!" Jun greeted quickly still feeling her heart pumping like crazy.
"Wow, you are right about him, Jun." Melissa also felt her heartbeat racing like a little girl. If it takes a robbery to meet a prince, she is willing too!
"Right about what?" Ryo asked not understanding Melissa's inside meaning.
"No…nothing!" Melissa quickly replied. "Nice to meet you, I am Jun's friend Melissa."
"Nice to meet you." He greeted with politeness. His eyes then landed on the two big bags next to Jun, "Only two bags of luggage?"
"Yes, yes…" Jun quickly picked them up. However as if it was less than a chore, Ryo took them from her as he swung them onto his shoulders.
"Alright, shall we go?" Ryo asked and turning to Melissa, he asked. "Would you like to come too?"
"I would love to but I can't." Melissa replied. She is not that stupid to tag around and stick out as the sore thumb. Although envious of Jun's luck, but she is truly happy for her friend.
"Good luck!" Melissa whispered in her friend's ear while Ryo placed the luggage in the trunk.
"Melissa!" Jun blushed and complained. However when she looked up once again at Ryo's beautiful face, she could not stop that smile of hers from appearing.
"Well, welcome to our humble home." Ryo said after he led Jun into the house.
"Thank…thank you." Jun lowered her head and said quickly.
Seeing her reaction Ryo smiled warmly, "Don't be so nervous and stiff. Just make yourself at home."
Jun nodded again quickly as she followed Ryo into the living room. Immediately her eyes landed on the black Steinway grand piano. Noticing her focus Ryo added, "Oh yeah, feel free to play the piano whenever you want. You need it for school as well right?"
Jun looked up at Ryo and asked softly, "Do…do you play the piano too?"
Ryo smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Unfortunately the only song I can play is 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars."
Jun chuckled at Ryo's words, "Maybe one day you could perform for me."
Ryo laughed too at her words, "Alright, all jokes aside. I will show you around the house and to your room."
Jun nodded and once again quickly followed Ryo's tall figure up the stairs. Pointing to the room to his right, Ryo explained. "This is my room, and opposite to my room is my brother's room. Further down the corridor is my parent's room."
"Oh, should I go say hello to the rest of your family?" Jun asked quickly.
"They are both not home at the moment," Ryo continued walking as he replied. "Because of work, they spend most of the time overseas."
Jun stopped walking immediately as her face turned red and her heartbeat increased rapidly with the news. Does…does this mean in the house at the moment is just the two of them?! How…how should she act? Is it really day and night just Ryo and her?! She was of course joyous to find that she was moving into her dream prince 's house, but she did not expect it to be just the two of them!
"What's the matter?" Ryo obviously did not notice the thoughts going on inside Jun's head and asked.
"No...nothing." Jun replied almost immediately.
"Oh, don't worry." Ryo replied her another warm smile. "I have already asked the hospital to put me on day shifts so you won't be home alone at night. I will be home too to accompany you."
Jun felt all the blood in her started to boil and rushed to her face. What Ryo just said was making it worse! However totally unlike her Ryo was calm and normal obviously meaning what he literally means.
"I am sorry that you just have to put up with me for the next few days until my mother and brother comes home. You might soon be annoyed with my company." Ryo joked.
"Of course not!" Jun replied immediately. There is no way she will ever get tired and annoyed of Ryo. However realising how straight she was, Jun lowered her head quickly in embarrassment. Luckily Ryo did not notice and continued to walk on.
Opening the door next to his own room, he turned to Jun, "Here is your room and I will leave your bags here."
"Thank you," Jun said once again.
"You thank me too much, no need to be so polite with me." Ryo smiled. "When you are ready come downstairs, we need to figure out what to have for dinner since my mother is not here."
"Oh, I can cook something if you like." Jun volunteered quickly.
"Can you?"
"Of course. I always cook at home for my dad." Jun smiled and replied.
"Great! I haven't had home cooking for so long." Ryo cheered. "I will show you to the kitchen."
"That was incredible. You cook one hundred times better than my mother." Ryo praised after a heartfelt meal.
"You are flattering me…" Jun blushed but felt her heart so sweet. Ryo probably did not realise how much effort she put into preparing this meal for him. His every word of praise soothes her heart.
"No, I'm serious! You know, my mother hardly cooks because she said as a professional pianist; she has to look after her fingers well. What kind of excuse was that?"
Jun started laughing hearing what Ryo said. "She is right though. Fingers are truly a valuable asset to a musician."
"Than you shouldn't have cooked! You are a professional pianist too right?" Ryo reminded her quickly.
"I am not that professional…" Jun justified quickly.
"Of course you are." With a warm encouraging smile Ryo asked, "Can I ask you to play a piece for me?"
Blood rushed to Jun's face immediately as she blushed with shyness, "I thought you promised to perform for me first?"
Ryo started laughing and gestured her to the living room. "Alright, after I have embarrassed myself with the only song I know, would you kindly play one song for me too?"
Jun chuckled again finding Ryo extremely easy to talk to. More and more she finds her heart attached to this wonderful friendly handsome prince of hers.
Once they entered the living room, Jun's eyes immediately landed on the collection of CDs on the CD rack. With joy she ran forward as if she has found the best treasure ever. Turning back to Ryo she asked in excitement.
"I didn't know you are a fan of Tsukimori Len too! You have his entire collection here!"
A funny look appeared on Ryo's face when he heard that, "Well, I am not exactly a fan of him, my parents were the ones who bought the CDs."
"Oh, ok…" Jun nodded in acknowledgment. "If your mother is a professional musician, it is not surprising for her to have Tsukimori Len's entire collection here. Indeed his music is magical."
"I see that you are a loyal fan…" Ryo said when he saw how Jun's face brightened up immediately when she talks about him. Pausing, a serious look appeared on Ryo's face as he asked carefully. "Have…have you ever seen what he looked like?"
Surprised how come Ryo had become so serious all of a sudden, Jun shook her head and replied. "Of course not. He never revealed any video or photographs of his concerts…"
"Oh…ok." With a look of relief Ryo replied.
"Why did you ask?" Jun blinked at Ryo's abnormal reaction.
"Uh, nothing…" Smile reappeared on Ryo's face as he teased. "Just wondering since you are such a fan, whether you will be disappointed if you found out he was actually a bald old man."
Jun started laughing again when she heard Ryo saying the exact same thing as Melissa had said. "It doesn't matter what he looks like. It's his music that I love." Then with a sigh, a sad look appeared on Jun's face. "Unfortunately I couldn't make it to his concerts here in this city. The money I have saved for it was stolen, and now it's too late to buy the tickets because they have all been sold out…"
"Well, I wouldn't be too disappointed if I were you." Ryo comforted.
"How come?"
A mysterious smile came onto Ryo's handsome face. "You will see."
"So, how has the first week been? Any romance started between you and your handsome prince?" Melissa teased Jun while they were having lunch at the student's cafeteria.
"Of course not! We…we are just normal housemates!" Jun justified quickly although joy and embarrassment cannot be hidden on her face.
"So how are the rest of the family treating you? Is his brother as good looking as him? Can you introduce me to him if he is still available?" Melissa teased again.
"Ugh…well," Jun didn't know if she should say it or not. "I haven't exactly met the rest of his family yet…"
"You haven't? How come?"
"Well, you see…they are all overseas at the moment…" Jun explained as her voice became thin towards the end.
"What?!" Melissa stood up in shock. "You have been living alone with him this whole time and you didn't tell me?!"
"Sh…shhh.!!" Jun quickly calmed her friend down especially when she sensed the focuses from other students on them.
After Melissa finally sat back down Jun explained quickly in a defending manner. "It is totally not like what you think."
"You think I am going to believe you now?" Melissa said with unbelieving eyes.
Before Jun was going to explain more, her mobile phone started to ring. Quickly she grabbed her phone from her bag and Jun's heart thumped hard when she saw the name on the caller ID.
"Ryo calling…?" Melissa took a look too and asked on purpose. "Aren't you going to answer it?"
Jun blushed and quickly answered the call, "Hello?"
On the other side of the phone, Ryo's bright but deep voice came through. "Hi Jun, it's me, Ryo."
"Yes, I know…" Jun thought inside her as she felt her heart pumping fast.
"An emergency patient had just come in so I might be stuck in a six hour operation this afternoon." Ryo explained. "Don't bother to prepare dinner for me, I will just eat here at the hospital."
"Oh…ok. You sure you have enough to eat?" Jun asked warmly already like a caring wife.
"Yeah, I will be fine." Ryo replied. "Make sure you lock all the windows and doors, don't let any strangers in the house ok? I will come home as soon as I can."
"Ok." Jun nodded as she felt her heart so warm with Ryo's caring words.
"Doctor Ryo! What are you doing out here? We are all waiting for you to start!" Jun overheard someone calling from Ryo's end.
"Oops, I think I better go. Bye." Ryo laughed and hung up.
"Bye…" Jun replied although she could no longer hear Ryo's voice. With a sigh Jun put away her phone. She is so doomed, she realised she is too deep in. Already she felt like a wife who felt so lost when the husband had to work overtime.
"Hubby not coming home for dinner?" Melissa asked.
"He…he is not my hubby!" Jun complained with embarrassment immediately.
"You are going to be alright by yourself tonight? Do you want me to come over?" Finally putting on a straight face Melissa asked seriously.
"I will be fine, thanks." Jun replied. Of course she will be fine, it's not like she is going anywhere tonight. Most of all, she has the entire collection of Tsukimori Len's music to accompany her.
Gently wrapping the food with glad wrap, Jun prepared delicious food for Ryo anyway although he said he didn't needed it. Making sure the kitchen was all neat and tidy, Jun headed straight to the living room.
Joyously she placed one of Tsukimori Len's CD in the CD player and when the beautiful music came out with the surround system, Jun felt she was in heaven. Like Ryo had said, it is really like attending a live concert.
When the CD started to play her favourite piece, slowly Jun's fingers moved to the music as if she was the person playing the piano accompanying Len's violin. Turning off the CD player, Jun walked over to the grand piano and started playing the same piece that she had just heard. She had long been familiarised with all Len's songs, and dreamt many times to be his piano accompany. Closing her eyes she allowed her fingers to move on the keyboard freely as she played one piece after another as if she was in a real concert.
Yes, just like a real concert already she could hear Tsukimori Len playing right next to her. The wonderful music that is so full of senses and feelings, the music that only Tsukimori Len could express.
Slowly opening her eyes she saw Ryo standing next to the piano playing the violin next to her. Jun smiled mockingly to herself, she must be too much into her imagination to have overlapped Ryo's face with Tsukimori Len's violin playing to see such an illusion. However immediately she became alert, wait a second, she could not possibly have lost her mind to such an extent?! Looking up again Ryo really was standing next to her with a violin in his hands!
"Ryo?! You…you are home?!" Jun stopped immediately and stood up in embarrassment.
However unlike how Ryo usually acts, there was no smile on his face as he looked coldly at Jun and asked instead with a frown. "Why did you stop? You must never stop half way through a performance."
Jun was taken back immediately with Ryo's reaction. There was such authority from those beautiful eyes of his. Most of all, Jun was most stunned to find that Ryo actually plays the violin!! Not just any kind of playing, but exactly the same as Tsukimori Len!!
"Continue." Ryo ordered.
Jun sat back down immediately and continued to play as Ryo had commanded. However she could not help but notice how great a violinist Ryo actually was! It is at a professional level and yet he lied about himself not knowing music at all.
Finally after she thought she had performed her duty when the song ended, Ryo looked to Jun again and asked coldly, "What other songs do you know off by heart?"
"If…if it's Tsukimori Len's songs, I know…all of them…" Jun replied hesitantly still trying to figure out why Ryo had changed all of a sudden.
A little surprise showed through Ryo's eyes as he commanded again, "Alright, play the next one."
"But…" Jun interrupted as she did not know why Ryo is acting this way.
"But what?" The frown appeared again on Ryo's face.
"No…nothing!" Jun lowered her head and replied quickly. After knowing Ryo for this whole time, she had never seen him frown like this!
As she started to play, although doubtful of Ryo's actions but she must admit his violin playing to be magical. Although hesitant in the beginning, gradually Jun realised how much she was actually enjoying this. The two of them played as if they had been performing together for a long time already. There was such a bond that Ryo obviously also noticed too as he continued to perform together with Jun.
Magically no matter which song Jun started to play, Ryo always knew how to play the violin part of the song remarkably as well! Finally after the fifth song they played together, Jun heard applause coming from behind Ryo. Shocked with the presence of a third person in the room, Jun stood up immediately from the piano and saw a most beautiful elegant lady standing there smiling at them.
"Bravo, it was beautiful." She praised.
However Jun was not at all joyous of the praise as her heart sank into the deep abyss when she found Ryo came home with a beautiful girl.
Not noticing the despair in her heart, the beautiful lady came up and shook Jun's hand as she greeted. "Hi, you must be Jun."
"Yes…and you are?" Jun replied not knowing why this lady knew about her? Did Ryo tell her about it?
Before the beautiful lady replied, they heard someone opened the front door with the keys and walked in. When the person saw Jun and the other two people in the room, he stopped in surprise but soon a bight smile appeared as he came up immediately.
"You guys are back already? How come you didn't ask me to pick you up from the airport?"
Jun couldn't believe her eyes with the strangest scene before her. The person that just walked in looked exactly the same as the Ryo standing next to her. However the smile, the tone of voice was for sure what belongs only to Ryo! If the person that just walked in the door was Ryo then who is this guy standing next to her?!
Seeing how Jun's face had turned blue and white, Ryo laughed nervously as he walked up to Jun.
"So, I guess you guys have already met." He pointed to the beautiful lady, "This is my mother…"
Hearing such an introduction, immediately indescribable joy reappeared inside Jun's heart. So…this beautiful lady is not Ryo's girlfriend! "Nice to meet you!" Jun greeted quickly at the same stunned with how young and beautiful Ryo's mother looked!
"I have heard that you are a pianist too, and just now from hearing you and Len playing together, you are truly gifted." Ryo's mother smiled as she looked to her other son standing next to the piano.
"Len…?" Jun could sense the danger when she heard that name. Looking over to Ryo she saw him smiling with tease.
"Oh, let me introduce to you Jun." Ryo came up and stood next to his exact look alike. "This is my twin brother Len, world's most famous violinist." Ryo smiled even more when he saw Jun's face turning even whiter with the shocking news. "Yeah, like I said, because of his work, he spends most of the time overseas and my mother is the piano accompany for him."
Is…is this a joke? Her most admired musician is actually the twin brother of her dream prince? Most of all, she had never expected to be living under the same roof with Tsukimori Len!! As if he was find Jun's reaction absolutely interesting, Ryo added rubbing in, "Well, surprise!! I guess Tsukimori Len wasn't bald after all!"
"Bald…?" Upon the term, Len frowned.
"No…nothing!" Jun interrupted quickly in shock. Well, indeed, now Melissa can be relaxed that buying an expensive ticket to Tsukimori Len's concert was not going to be a waste. Because not only was Len not bald, but indeed, he was actually a charmer, just like his twin brother Ryo. Secretly sighing inside, Jun really hoped her stay here with this family in the next year will go safely…
