"Only one hope,Only one soul.

Only one smile,Only one you."

That's pretty much the summary of whatever Hoseok has taught me and what everyone's life should be about.Today finally the time has come to show Hoseok that I learnt whatever he taught me.I will show it to him.

The day of the piano competition is finally here.I have been practicing my ass off the past few weeks.I have chosen a really complicated piece to play.Because it is the last day of my training and I want to go all out.Even though I'm nervous about it,that's what I want to do.And I don't care what anyone else thinks.That's what I will do.Hoseok supported me.

"Our last contestant is Im Eunji.Let is welcome her!"The host announced.

I was walking up and down in the backstage,waiting for my name to be called.Hoseok was here a minute ago,giving me strength but now he went back to his seat.I took a deep breath,held the sunflower necklace that Hoseok gave me two years ago and then walked onto the stage and bowed to everyone.Everyone clapped.

After I looked up,I saw so many people.Everyone was looking at me.I suddenly felt nervous.What if I mess up badly?I quickly held my necklace again which didn't match the elegant pink dress Hoseok made me wear at all but I didn't care.The necklace was giving me strength.I scanned through the audience to spot Hoseok.There I saw him,at the very back with the other members of BTS,wearing his mask.He smiled under his mask and gave me a 'fighting' sign.I smiled back at him and slowly went and sat in front of the piano.

I knew Hoseok was pretending to be okay but he was as nervous as I am.It's a big day for both of us.

I took a deep breath in front of the piano.I have to do this.

For Hoseok.

For my life.

And most importantly,

For me.

I slowly started playing the piano.After I pressed a few keys,magic happened.I got lost in the music.I didn't care that there were hundreds of people in front of me,watching me.I didn't care that I had to prove anything.I didn't care about the competition.I didn't care that I was on a very fancy stage.The only thing I cared about was the beauty of the music.

The whole room got silent.The only sound was coming from my piano.As if everyone had held their breath while I played Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.2.I closed my eyes at one point and completely got immersed into the music.At this rate,I didn't care whatever happened around me.

After more than four minutes of playing I pressed the last key and opened my eyes.I was brought to reality when I heard clapping.I turned and saw everyone in the audience is clapping for me.I got up and bowed to them.I could fulfill this performance without panicking or getting way too nervous.I could successfully end it.I'm proud of myself right now.I looked up and saw Hoseok standing up and clapping for me.He looked so happy and proud.Right what I wanted to see.I made him proud.Everything brought tears to my eyes.

I went to backstage while crying.I was the last contestant.Now it's time for the judges to discuss and announce the winners.At that time I wanted to go and talk to Hoseok but contestants were not allowed to go anywhere and neither could anyone come to see them.I couldn't even call Hoseok because my phone was with him.I guess I can talk to him after the award giving is over.

After like ten minutes the judges came on stage and gave a small speech about how every contestant did a phenomenal job.Everyone played beautifully.And I agree.After that they slowly started calling the runner ups names.I didn't expect to get a prize,so I just stood in the backstage thinking about how much confidence this gave me.Now nothing in my life can bring me down.I love myself.Honestly and completely.Coming to this point was really hard and sad but I managed to do it.

And I thought about how happy and proud Hoseok would be.I smiled thinking it.

"And the winner of today's competition is Im Eunji,who made the judges tear up with her performance!"

Well..congrats to her.I thought and went back to thinking about Hoseok.Every other contestant in the backstage turned to me.One of the patted me on my shoulder and that brought me back to my senses.

Did the judges say MY name?They said it,didn't they?How the hell..am I the winner?What???!!Wait,shouldn't I go to the stage?

"Im Eunji?"The judges called again,confused.

I widened my eyes and almost ran to the stage to the judges and almost tripped on my fancy ass dress.Damn..I'm so embarrassing.

But I still couldn't believe it.

I WON?

I?

I still couldn't believe when the judges were handing me the prices.Everyone was giving me a standing ovation.I looked at Hoseok and BTS.They were cheering loudly and jumping.Normally I would be embarrassed but now seeing that brought a wider smile on my face.After getting the awards I was handed the mic to say something.I didn't know what I should say,I didn't even dream of winning so I didn't know what to say.But as soon as I held the mic I looked straight at Hoseok and I immediately knew what to say.I took a deep breath and started.

"Do you know what do you need when your life is at the rock bottom?A little bit hope and self love.No..that's not my words.Those are the words of my hope that came to me when I was done with everything.That hope saved me.He came into my life like a ray of sunshine.I always act annoyed when I'm with him,tease him but I never said how much thankful I am to him.Because of him I'm alive.Because of him I'm happy and I'm at this position.Because of him I can confidently say that I love myself."

I stopped to breath and tears were running down my face slowly.I didn't move my gaze from Hoseok.He didn't move his gaze away from me either.

I started again,"I never said it,and I didn't plan on saying this so dramatically in front of so many people.But after being with you for so long,I learnt a bit of drama.So here,infront of all these people I would like to thank you Hoseok.Thank you so much for coming into my life,for filling it with brightness,hope and love.Thank you for being there always.Thank you for being my hope,my angel,my personal therapist,my sunshine and my friend."

My voice broke,"I'm so lucky that you came in my life.Thank you for giving hope and love to not only me and so many other people in this world."

I ended my speech there and wiped my tears.Hoseok was still frozen.I didn't know what he felt.After receiving the awards I went to the backstage and everyone congratulated me.I thanked them and all I wanted to do was get out from there and go find Hoseok and BTS members.

While I was on my way to the BTS members I spotted someone who I didn't at all expect standing in the corridor and waiting for me.I stopped as soon as I saw him.

"Eunji-ah?"He called.

"Dad?"I asked,surprised.What is he doing here?And how did he even know I was here?

"Congratulations on your win,Eunji-ah..I'm proud of you,"He said and handed me the bouquet he brought me.My hands were already full of stuff but I somehow accepted it.I didn't meet him the last year.I only talked a few times on the phone.He had been going to rehab to give up on gambling.He has also gotten a job,so did my step mom.They don't ask me for money anymore.Before I could ask anything dad said,

"Your friend,Hoseok asked me to come here.He wanted me to see how well you are doing."

At this rate I'm not even surprised about this.I don't feel surprised about anything Hoseok does.

"Eunji,I wanted to say sorry to you.I was always a bad father.I made you give up on your dreams.I am so sorry for that.When I saw you play tonight I saw how big of a mistake it was.No,I'm not saying all these because I want your money again.I'm saying this because I'm really sorry."

I didn't reply.

"I want to redeem my mistakes.I want to have a normal relationship with you.You are my daughter.And my family.So please forgive me and probably come to visit sometimes.That would be enough for me."

I didn't reply.He looked at me for awhile waiting for me to reply but when he saw I wouldn't he sighed.

"I know you can't forgive me yet.But please do come home sometimes okay?And one last thing..Eunji-ah I'm proud of you.And can you tell Hoseok that I'm really thankful to him for staying with you and supporting you when I was being a bad father?"

I still didn't reply.

Dad sighed,"I will go now,okay?Take care."He said and turned around.

"I will tell him that..and..I will come and visit sometimes,"I said.

Dad turned to me and pattedy head while smiling.I smiled at him too.

It's a new beginning.And dad sounded serious.So why not give it a try?

After finally getting to the BTS members,they all congratulated me and kept telling me how awesome I looked.They had a huge bouquet for me but I had nowhere to hold it.My hands already were full.I looked around,"Where's Hoseok?"

They all stopped talking and looked at each other.

That seemed suspicious.I narrowed my eyes,"Where is he?"

"Umm.."Namjoon started,"He.."

"And?"

"Well.."

"CAN YOU TELL ALREADY?"I shouted,scaring them.

"Well..he got emotional after your speech,"Yoongi said.

"Very emotional,"Taehyung said in the middle.

Yoongi glared at him for talking when he's talking but said,"So he went out to get some fresh air."

"Alright,where?"

"He asked us to keep you busy till he pulls himself together,"Seokjin said.

"What?"

"Yes..So we are not letting you go,noona,"Jimin said.

"Uh Huh?"I asked while smiling.

They all smiled,"Yeah!"

I immediately changed my expression to the scariest one I could probably do,"WHERE IS HE?"

That scared all of them.

Seokjin was so scared that he ended up spilling all of it out,"He is at the bridge nearby,by our van."

I smiled,"Thanks Oppa."

I said and I dumped all the bouquets and trophies and everything that were in my hands on them and then started running to the exit,which was apparently really hard with my fancy and flown dress.

"Noona,where are you going?"Jungkook shouted.

I turned back while running and shouted back,

"I'm going to replace the sad and emotional Hoseok with the bright and happy one!"
