Elena, then, took a glance at her room and mumbled, "I also need to check whether my piano skills from the past life also transferred to these fingers or not. It's not like I was a master who could play with my eyes closed. But, I don't have the keyboard here..."
*Knock*Knock*
Right then, the door was knocked twice, and the voice of her mom was heard from the other side, "Jun-ah, I'm leaving for the store. I already prepared the lunch. Don't forget to keep it in the fridge after it cools down and reheat later."
Upon hearing her mom, Elena's eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the door, surprising her mom.
As soon as Sa-Eun saw Elena, making those green eyes of hers big, she immediately understood she was about to make a request. She quickly asked, "What is it? Do you need me to buy anything while returning?"
If it were Elena from before, she would have asked directly to bring Piano while she was returning from the store, but she didn't expect the present Elena to make a weird request.
"Mom, can I come with you to the store?" asked Elena, unknowingly maintaining her expression of widening her eyes.
Upon hearing her, Sa-Eun was taken aback, "Why?"
"No reason. I was just bored, sitting at home and watching TV, all day," replied Elena.
Believing her, Sa-Eun nodded, "Fine. Change your clothes. I'll wait."
As Elena closed the door, Sa-Eun sighed in relief, "This is good. Now, I no longer need to feel anxious all day. Maybe I should take this chance and keep her busy at the store, letting her forget about chasing that impossible dream."
Meanwhile, as Elena changed her outfit to a new one, she took a look in the mirror, and sighed, "It's been three months since I came to this world, yet it's very difficult adjusting to this pretty face… well, it is not that I had an average face back then… I had a good number of followers, but this one is something I would want to have in any life. A natural face without any job done. But these eyes… are a bit… It feels exotic, but at the same time, it also feels very uncomfortable. It's as if I'm feeling cold and hot at the same time… I wonder how long it would take to shake off this feeling."
"Jun-ah… How long will you take…"
"Coming, Mom."
Taking one last look at the mirror, she grabbed her chin with a smile, tilting her head slightly, "But then again, I do have a natural S-line figure…" Her hands roamed around the curves of her body before they were frozen.
Elena suddenly shivered for a second, "That's so embarrassing… let's not do that again…"
Half an hour later, Elena stepped out of the car and looked at the music store before her, which was a little bit different than her memories, especially the size of the store. The store had another floor, where she could see a grand piano through the transparent glass.
'E&D? I wonder what that means… Is it perhaps me and Dajun?'
"Jun-ah, what are you staring at…" A voice was heard from beside.
Elena shook her head, "Nothing, Mom. Just amazed that you renovated and even expanded the store.
"Well, your grandfather paid for the renovations and expansion..."
Upon hearing her mom, Elena looked at her in surprise, "Grandpa paid for it? I remember you mentioned that grandpa helped you with the apartment. Since when did he have that much amount…"
"This is from your dad's father. He's very happy after getting to know Dajun, who finally debuted…"
Elena felt a bit sore when she heard that. It is a common thing in almost every girl's family. If a boy becomes an idol, they get blessings. And if a girl wants to become an Idol, all kinds of judgments come from these geezers…
But Elena has no time to focus on those things.
Without making any comment on that, she silently followed her mom into the store and saw that the store was busy with customers, and a lot of teenagers hovered around a specific section to take an album.
"Mom, Which Idol group does that section belong to?" Elena asked as she pointed at the crowd.
Following her direction where her finger pointed, Sa-Eun replied, "That's Angels on Earth's latest comeback."
"AOE?" As soon as she heard the name, a lot of memories flowed through her head, and Elena, who also knew about them in the past life, fell into thoughts, 'Good thing is that they are sticking around even after ten years, and it also looks like I had a very close relationship with them.'
Meanwhile, both of them walked towards the counter, where a handsome boy part-timer was busy with billing.
"Sajangnim (Boss), good morning," greeted the part-timer with a bow as soon as he saw Sa-Eun.
Sa-Eun greeted back in return, and then, as the customer left, she introduced Elena, who was standing next to her, silently.
"Jae-min-ah, this is my daughter, Elena." Then, she turned towards Elena and introduced the part-timer, "This is Na Jae-min."
Removing her mask, Elena looked into his eyes for a brief period before offering a handshake, instead of the usual bow, forgetting that she was no longer a twenty-five-year-old, "Hey there, nice to meet you."
But by the time she realized the mistake, the part-timer already bowed a little and shook her hands, and greeted in return, although with a trace of surprise.
Jaemin was slightly taken aback when he saw Elena and even more surprised by her green eyes, which kinda became off-putting to him.
Thinking that it's a weird taste of a pretty girl, wearing green contact lenses, Jaemin decided to ignore the situation and turned towards Sa-Eun, "Sajangnim (Boss), a new shipment arrived this early morning, but there's no space to place them."
"New shipment?" A frown appeared on Sa-Eun as she mumbled, "But, we weren't expecting anything until next week…" Then, she suddenly slapped her forehead lightly, "That's right. I forgot about Clover's recent comeback because of AOE's hype…"
"I will handle the job at the counter. Meanwhile, quickly, make a list of unpopular albums we failed to sell in the past month, and make sure to empty one section.
Then, transfer the albums of Resonance to the one that was emptied and replace them with new ones. We need the albums of Clover to stick together and…"
She then glanced at Elena, who was looking around, and called her as she got an idea, "Jun-ah."
"Yes?"
"Can you help out Jaemin with the work?"
"Sure, mom." As a part of the plan to try out instruments, Elena agreed to help, not knowing that this little help would bring a troublesome sibling into her life.
