Taking a deep breath I raised my hand holding the violin bow....my heart whispering to me "I'll do my best this time" and then I started to play one of my most favourite piece Ludwig Van Beethoven's The Violin Sonata No. 9.... I slowly closed my eyes listening to those strings next to my ear. Amazing isn't it? I asked myself.
....
"Wow that was awesomeee Arin! Everyone was in a daze you know, even me, I felt like I was living in my world of fantasies..." said Sarah, the soul friend whom I trusted the most...Offering a smile I said " Thank you so much" and looked up at the sky wondering how beautiful it was. She looked at me to know what I was thinking about and then looked up as if she knew my thoughts..."Indeed the beautiful summer sky.." she exclaimed...
"I feel like he is still watching us and smiling..." I said while still looking at the mesmerizing evening sky..."Arin... LETS GO AND HAVE SOME PARTY TONIGHT!" I got startled by her sudden excited tone. "Yea sure, and who is going to join you this time?" I asked jokingly and patted her shoulder... "Hehehe... well you know..." She blushed and looked away... "Lucky you for the wonderful life that you have I am happy for you" with these words I waved her goodbye and walked straight towards my car just as I was going to open the door I heard her say "Hey Arin I think you too have a lucky life, I really do" I giggled as she said that. "See you tonight..." I shouted and drove away...
A Lucky Life... Is not that easy Sarah... my life....has always been different from the rest and I still don't know how I am alive...I smiled as I thought of a person who is always in my mind.... "Han Darien..." I whisper to myself... it has been 10 years since that incident happened and I still blame myself for it... I still blame myself for everything that happened... "only if I knew it a little earlier .."
...
*Klink*
"Cheers!!" everyone in the room raised their glasses and chaos ensued while it made me feel uncomfortable but still I was used to it... "Moon Arin~ how have you been?" exclaimed by my old friend Kim Yo-Jung "I'm good... What about you?" I asked... he smiled a little and said "Well I hopefully survive each day from these deadful working days" he looked at me "Normally if you ask I'm fine too~" I smiled at him hearing his words...
We all enjoyed the night and then everyone started to get drunk excluding me..."Arrinn~ isss stilll nott drunk while Eeveryone *hic* is drunk~~~" Sarah spoke with her drunk voice making me chuckle because of her cuteness...I looked at the time it was already late and so I started to move out from her house...I looked at the beautiful night sky and all those sparkling stars I took a deep breath and began to sing...
♪City of stars~
🎶 Are you shining just for me?~
♪City of stars~
🎶 There's so much that I can't see~
♪Who knows?
🎶 Is this the start of something wonderful and new?
🎶 Or one more dream that I cannot make true?
"Or is it you who is shinning just for me?" I whispered and sighed again... Why do you always make me like this? that pain in my heart is never erased... what can I do to make myself feel better? Its all my fault... "I shouldn't have let you go that day..." I screamed and then I could feel my hot tears rushing down my face...I rubbed it and then...I started to think... What if you are still there? what if you are not dead? why do I still have hopes that you're still there somewhere... playing the piano with your smile on... Why?...
The Next Day...
"Arin... We have a performance in London the day after tomorrow so I hope you get ready soon." said by my manager... I nodded and walked away to my house... packing my things I touched my old things... and smiled a little... "I'll miss you all... Well... bye bye." I said with a little smile and walked away from there heading to the airport...
....
I walked out of the place where we stayed the night and took a deep breath.. as we slowly started to move away from the place we encountered many other groups... I didn't pay much attention to them...
... In The Show...
So here we have a special group Mr. Gong's group "Eternals of Strings" and a special guest meet "The King of Chords"
I could hear the big round of applause echoing in the ball room..
"Here we have Eternals of Strings playing the beautiful violin piece Corelli Concerto Grosso Op. 6 No. 8" the announcer exclaimed and we started to prepare ourselves to go to the stage everyone was nervous but still... professionals never show their nervousness is all I know... I sat on the chair with my two friends Geong-il and Hyeji I sighed as I looked at the audience and started to play...
...
"Wow That was a great performance the beautiful song made our hearts clear thats amazing!" the announcer said and we walked to our seats back again... then... the announcer again spoke "After the brilliant performance from the Eternals of Strings group we now invite our special guest who is well known for his beautiful also amazing piano skills the "KING OF CHORDS!!! " Everyone clapped their hands louder than before... he must be really famous in London...then we heard footsteps coming since the lights were off we couldn't see him but just hear the sounds of his footsteps I sat on my seat and curiously looked for him in the dark I could barely see the piano and then suddenly I hear the sound of the piano it was beautiful...as if I have heard it before... As .. if ...
.... the most beautiful part came...my tears started to flow....only one person knows this song...."Han Darien.... it... it can't be..." I stood up but the manager with his whispering voice scolded me "Hey! why are you standing like that?! sit downn!!" I lowered my head and sat down again... but... all I want is to see his face... my eyes.... I could feel my eyes glowing... up little by little because of hopes... and then .. there comes the light... revealing...."Who ... is he?" it wasn't Darien... but someone else... but.... how can another person know this song?.... it it... can't be... Darien only wrote it for me ....
...
"Thank you for your wonderful performance um... may we know about your song? and about you?" the announcer said...
The person took the mic and faced the audience... he took a deep breath and said... "Well... It feels amazing... that so many people are here to listen to the classical music... but... the song I played today...is... written by me...I wrote this song 10 years ago...only two people knew about this song...The first person... was me... and.... the second person...*smiles* was someone who I cherish and love the most..." he spoke in his soft voice... as I couldn't stop my tears from falling...then the announcer interupted the silence" may we know about the person?"
He said "Yes....." it was silent for a bit until he again spoke..."It was the month of December the month she liked the most...she used to be an assasin and...used to kill people who were NOT innocent...she would always say to me that...boys should act brave playing piano makes you look like you are really soft... I would always smile at her statement... but one day when I heard her playing the violin... I fell in love with her more...yes... I was in love with her from the start... but the sweet side of hers when she plays the violin... it feels like she hid her most beautiful side... I would always get mesmerized when I hear her play the violin.... then one day... I told her.... that... I'll make a song which will be based on you... it will have all the feelings that I get for you...and she would smile at me...Her most beautiful smile...and yes... I could make her listen to this song....but then.... something happened.... which made me loose something..." he stopped a while... and then the announcer asked " What is it?"...I lost... my face because of a serious accident...car accident...The people who I went with in the car were sadly sent to god....they were my brothers and sisters...only I and my cousin sister survived....the doctors said that I needed to do surgery and so my parents agreed to it... and... I had the surgery without me knowing about it... since... I was in a coma...I lost all the contacts with my friends and....also her...." he was silent for a moment and then.... he said.... the most beautiful words that I was eagerly waiting for to hear...." By the Way.... my name is.... Han Darien... "
Without realising what I was doing I screamed " HAN DARIEN!!!! YOU SCUMBAG!!!!! " Everyone looked at me including him and then the lights turned to me....I smiled and looked at him... I could feel in his eyes... that he was....surprised yet happy to see me...He slowly walked down the stage while I also rushed down the seats and when.... we faced each other.... we both smiled to each other "I--" both saying at the same time and then we chuckled... "How...." I looked at him as to let him know that he can proceed his next words.... "How have you been?" I smiled as I could feel sweetness in his words..."Good... but today... Wonderful...." He looked at me and smiled... then walked closer to me until we were inches apart from each other... "I missed you so much..." his soft voice made me uncontrollable and without wasting
my time.... I kissed him.... while he kissed me back.... I could feel.... the feelings when you kiss your loved ones you feel like as if all your surrounding stops... feeling only you and him....having the most beautiful moment....and the feeling of all the love which was waiting for these past 10 years... I could feel it in this kiss....
I wish to never let you go.....
"I wish we could be As we are now and forever..."
