What Inspired Your Love for Music?
My love for music was deeply inspired by my dad, who was a music teacher. He used to tell me about the magical feeling of love, comparing it to fireworks exploding in the heart. His passion for music and the story of how he met my mom ignited my own love for music.
The Unexpected Arrival of Love
At 16, I experienced the unexpected arrival of love when Luke, one of my dad’s guitar students, confessed his feelings for me. Despite not feeling the same way initially, Luke’s persistent efforts to win my heart and his genuine gestures gradually made me reconsider my feelings.
Trying to Let Go of Love
After a brief pause, I mustered the strength to share my feelings with Luke. However, as tears welled up in his eyes, I realized that breaking his heart would be too painful. I needed a new plan to end things without hurting him.
A new plan was necessary to find my boyfriend a new girlfriend. However, finding the perfect girl for Luke proved to be a tough mission. I introduced him to several girls, but none seemed to spark even the slightest interest in him.
Despite numerous failures, I was about to give up hope when the solution seemed to fall from the sky. A new exchange student from South Korea, Moon, caught my attention. She had a beautiful voice and seemed perfect for Luke. Little did I know that my plan would take an unexpected turn.
A New Plan to Find the Perfect Match
With my master plan in motion, I organized a rehearsal in my garage for that same night. Just as the tension was mounting, Moon made her grand entrance, and something magical unfolded between her and Luke. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it became clear that they were meant for each other.
Over the next few weeks, I did everything to bring my new friend and boyfriend even closer. However, despite all my efforts, neither was making the first move. Determined to give it one final shot, I orchestrated an irresistibly romantic date at Rochester High Falls, hoping to spark a connection between them.
However, my interference disrupted their big moment, and I realized that it was time to tell the truth. I confessed that I orchestrated the entire thing and gave them my wholehearted blessing, acknowledging that they were meant for each other. I stepped aside, allowing them to enjoy the rest of their date and witnessing them share their first kiss.
The Bittersweet Taste of Loneliness
Loneliness began to consume me, despite the happiness I felt for Luke and Moon. I confided my fears in my dad, expressing my worry about never experiencing the fireworks of love. He reassured me that love, like music, has its own tempo and that my moment would come when least expected. However, the fear of heartbreak lingered, reminding me of the imperfections in love.
Facing Loneliness
As I decided to take a break from pursuing love, I focused on school, friends, and my passion for music. For months, life went smoothly, and I began to believe that maybe my dad was right about love finding me when I least expected it.
Discovering Love When Least Expected
As fate would have it, a new exchange student from Italy, Camilo, entered my life, igniting a powerful and unexpected attraction. Despite facing challenges and humiliation, I refused to give up on the pursuit of love, determined to find my own fireworks.
