My Beloved

The finale is about to begin. The lights are glittering and the stage is decorated grandly. The auditorium is filled with people. 

People are talking and screaming in excitement. They have sparkling banners in their hands and led lights. They are talking about who will get the first place and who will leave empty handed. The judges seem excited as well. They also don't know the results. 

From the backstage, the participants could hear the audience screaming. The more they screamed, the more nervous the participants became. Their knees were getting cold and felt sick on their stomachs. 

The program began. The emcee went to the stage and made the crowd over-excited. After her inauguration speech, the participants went to the stage one by one and performed for the last time.

When it was time for Jared to go to the stage, he looked at Han Luo. She was whispering something to Zenna. They were in hyper spirit. He pressed his lips and went to the stage.

Mo Yuan silently looked at his direction. He noticed Jared's every move.

Han Luo already told him that Jared wanted her as a partner in the finale. However, she declined saying that she had another plan in her mind. 

After his performance, everyone started to think that he was going to win this time. 

Jared is a confident, energetic, and hard-working dancer who puts effort into his performance. He loves dancing and it can be told from his expression when he dances. He takes dancing seriously and he respects dancing. His performance is always the best among the bests. He is a professional dancer at such a young age because of his quality. 

If he wins, no one will be disappointed because he deserves it.

The last performance was Han Mo Yuan's. He wore a white shirt, baby pink colored tuxedo and pants, and a pair of white shoes. His hair was brushed on the left side. On his tuxedo, there was a white rose. 

There was a grand piano in front of him. He started to play Ständchen (Serenade), S. 560, No. 7 (After Franz Schubert) of Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist Franz Liszt. 

In front of the stage, a round stage had lifted and a girl came to view. The screen behind her back became baby pink and the white lights fell on her.

She wore a baby pink ballet dress and her hair was tied as a bun. The dress glowed in the dark and a white rose was attached in the middle of her chest. The lower part of the dress was fluffy and had many layers. The upper was glittering with golden powder. There were small baby pink butterflies attached to her bun. They sparkled as the lights were pointed at her. 

Everyone cheered as they saw Han Luo, the child goddess came to the stage at last. While she danced like a fairy, golden glitters fell from above. 

There were only two people on the stage. As the melody reached everyone's heart, they were spell-bounded by Han Luo's dancing. Though the audiences thought that they were blood related, they still thought that those two had some kind of romantic bond.

They had a strong inner-connection and those who were watching them could tell just by looking. To them, they thought that they were lovers who were enjoying each other's company. 

After their performance ended, Mo Yuan stood up and walked toward Han Luo. They held each other's hands and bowed together. 

There was only silence in the dark auditorium. Everyone was looking at them in awe. The one who broke the spell first was a judge. She stood up and started to clap. Only after that, others also stood up and the sound of applause filled the whole auditorium. 

The emcee entered the stage and stood in between Han Luo and Mo Yuan. They let go of each other's hand and kept a respective space between the beautiful emcee and them.

The emcee said, "It was a wonderful performance. I thought I was in a dream with my lover. Whose idea is it to perform together?"

Mo Yuan replied, "It was my idea. I asked her if she was interested in performing with me and she agreed."

A judge asked, "Are you guys close?"

"We are," Mo Yuan's reply was short.

"How close are you?" The emcee couldn't help but ask. Like the judges, she also knew that these two weren't related by blood.

Han Luo cheerfully answered, "We have known each other since childhood. Big brother Yuan is my cousin's best friend and his mother is my mother's best friend."

"What a coincidence!" The emcee exclaimed. She didn't expect such a connection; neither did the judges and the audiences. 

A young judge hesitated before asking, "Are you guys… in a… relationship?"

Mo Yuan didn't answer. He let Han Luo handle it.

Han Luo tilted her head. She blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"

Her expression and question were both simple and innocent. It made all those adults feel embarrassed since they were thinking something dirty. They realized that those children had nothing indecent in their minds.

Mo Yuan and Han Luo went backstage. 

"That was a brilliant performance!" Zenna excitedly said. "I should have guessed when I saw your costume!"

Mo Yuan had already gone to this sea while Han Luo and Zenna were talking.

Jared was sitting where the girls were talking. He asked, "Is that why you didn't want to perform with me?"

Han Luo looked at him and answered, "Yes, that's right. Big brother Yuan asked me first and I promised to dance with him. Since we wanted to give everyone a surprise, I didn't tell you back then. If you had asked me earlier than him, I would have danced with you."

Her answer was clear cut and pierced through Jared's heart. He asked himself, 'Does it mean I lost my chance because I was always late?'

Zenna looked at him pitifully.. She could tell that he had his eyes for her for a long time.
