The Day I Kissed An Older Man

The price remained the same. Melody was able to learn some new things, while the dance studio was able to establish a brand too.
Melody glanced indifferently at Carmen, who-despite pleading with her-betrayed a sense of profound humiliation. It was a rather absurd situation.
"Your expression tells me you're not genuinely sorry. Since you have a passion for dancing, you're more than welcome to continue here, but I hope you won't cause any more trouble over insignificant things again."
Carmen raised her head abruptly and glared at Melody. She knew that Melody refused to let her off the hook because of Lucas. Melody wanted that man for herself and would not spare any cost to keep it that way. Alas, those actions only brought turmoil to their family one after another.
"What are you staring at?" Lucas frowned, positioning himself in front of Melody. He hated it when people looked at Melody with disdain.
"She agreed to let you stay, but if you can't do as she asks, then I'll be glad to have you leave."
Carmen lowered her gaze angrily under Lucas's disapproving stare. "I'll comply."
After Lucas escorted Melody out, the studio went from being silent to resuming its usual lively atmosphere. Everyone gathered in groups and discussed Melody's recent dance performance.
"I never would have expected her to dance so gracefully! She was so captivating!"
"Yeah! I thought our instructor was exaggerating when praising her talent, but I've come to accept that I can never reach her skill level even after dancing for several years! The gap between my ability and hers is simply too wide to bridge."
"Speaking of people like us, even you-know-who is still no match for her despite winning so many awards!" another dancer glanced sneakily at Carmen. "Talent makes all the difference."
That was some consolation for them, if it was consolation in the first place. Despite lacking natural talent, they might just be able to compensate for it through hard work. There were few naturally gifted individuals in the world, so with enough dedication, it might still be possible to overcome their shortcomings through diligent practice.
"Well, guess we shouldn't say bad stuff about Melody in front of her next time. You probably noticed already that Lucas tends to defend her a lot. They love each other a lot, and now that we've spent so much time with her, I'm starting to think Melody isn't as terrible as the Internet made her to be."
Having concluded their conversation, they left to continue practicing the new dance routine they learned earlier. Only Carmen remained, clenching her fists silently.
"Melody, you'll pay for this," she muttered under her breath. In her opinion, her dignity should not have been trampled upon by all those people. Just because she did not have a strong backer like Lucas did not mean that they could treat her badly. Melody had simply merely relied on Lucas's influence to assert dominance outside.
