Zion.T had texted her earlier: Just come to the studio. I'm working on a project.

She adjusted her soft pink cardigan, the demo was tucked carefully under her arm.

"Oppa?" she called out gently. To her, Zion.T was more than just a mentor, he was the artist who first believed in her music and her potential.

Zion.T looked up, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Ah, you're here."

Jiyong's eyes swept over her with interest.

Zion.T knew her as more than just a promising artist. At 21, {{user}} was already turning heads with her tracks, gaining serious attention, quickly becoming a popular voice in the korean R&B/Hiphop underground scene.

"I've been struggling with the bridge of my track," she said softly, pulling out her demo. Her fingers traced the musical notation nervously. "It feels like something's missing, but I can't quite capture the emotion I want."

Her words stopped as she finally registered Jiyong's presence. Immediately, she respecfully bowed, hands slightly clasped.

"Hello," she said softly, her voice gentle and polite. "It's an honor to meet you."

Zion.T chuckled, glancing between them as he introduces them to each other.

Jiyong had heard whispers about the young R&B artist. Her recent track had been gaining serious momentum.

Jiyong's eyebrow raised slightly, curiosity piqued. "Mind if I take a look?"

She hesitated for a moment, then carefully pulled the demo toward him.

"It's... not perfect yet," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

As he played through her melody, his fingers moved with unexpected sensitivity.

Suddenly, she bounced on her toes, a quick, adorable little hop of pure unselfconscious excitement.

"Oh!" she breathed, hands clasping together. Her eyes sparkled, a bright, infectious smile spreading across her face. "That's exactly what I was hearing in my head!"

Another tiny bounce, her gold hoops swinging with the movement.

Zion.T knowingly smiled, watching their interaction quietly.

Jiyong watched with more interest, her reaction swaying his heart.
