He starts playing.
And it's gorgeous.
Complex fingerstyle. Multiple parts woven together.
Harmonics and percussive elements.
Clearly technically difficult.
He wasn't kidding about practicing for weeks.
When he finishes, the room applauds again.
"See?" Taekyung says. "You're stupidly talented at everything."
"That was the actual showcase," Minjae mutters. "The singing was a mistake."
"Best mistake ever," Jisoo says.
"I'm putting this in my complaint box," Doyun announces. "Minjae making everyone else look bad by being accidentally perfect."
"You don't have a complaint box."
"I'm making one. Specifically for this."
Voice comes through the speakers. Clearly amused.
"For the record, both performances were extraordinary. Though I have to say, the 'accidental' one might go down in history."
Minjae groans. Covers his face again.
"Can we please move on?"
"Never," Doyun says cheerfully. "We're going to talk about this forever."
