oh god.......remember in run on one of the major issues they had was mijoo felt seongyeom always put up a wall, and he never realized/felt he was doing so? and then how he was always second place in his races but when he was running to her he ran a time that would have gotten him first place?

his teacher tells him he seems shy, that he puts up a wall between himself and the listener; he tells his teacher he’s never played for anyone else, just himself cause he loves playing the piano; he loses a major competition and that night he comes back home and they fight and he ends up playing happy birthday on the piano for her to get her to come back to the apartment
