2022, Apr 7 - Yoongi (The Brown Piano)

(A/N: in the video, some Yoongi are real Yoongi while some Yoongi represents Jungkook.)

[Places: Road, near construction site, music store]

I stopped at the sound of a clumsy piano performance. In the dead of night, a fire in a metal drum made crackling sounds in the middle of the empty construction site. I recognized the tune as one I'd been playing not long ago but made little of it.

I walked along carelessly with my eyes close. I was drank, staggering and stumbling. With the heat from the fire, the sound of the piano, the night air, and the effect of alcohol all melted away.

I came to at the sound of loud honking, The car had just barely missed me. The dazzling lights of the headlamps, the wind stirred up by the car, and the remaining buzz of the alcohol all made me feel giddy. I heard the driver curse. I was about to hurl some back when I realized I couldn't hear the piano anymore. No piano, only the crackling of the blazing fire, the whinning wind, and the sound of cars zipping by.

Why had it stopped? Who was playing?

A flame jumped out of the drum crack and flew up into the dark sky. I looked blankly at the flame turning to pitch-black ash and falling to the ground.

My face flushed from the heat of the fire. At that moment, I heard a loud bang, as if someone had slammed down on the piano keys with his fists. I looked back instinctively. My blood surged through my body. The nightmare I'd had in my childhood. It was the same sound I'd heard in that nightmare.

I started running towards the music shop. I wasn't in control, my body just moved on it's own. I felt as if I've done this countless times. I wasn't sure what it was, but it seemed like I'd forgotten something priceless.

Someone was sitting in front of a piano in the music shop with a broken window. It'd been several years, but I recognized his face immediately. I turned my eyes away. I didn't want to get involved with someone else's life. I didn't want to try to console someone who was lonely. I didn't want to be important for someone. I wasn't sure I could protect that someone till the end. I wasn't confident I could stand by that someone till the end. I didn't want to hurt that someone. I didn't want to get hurt. It's hard enough for us to try to save ourselves when the last moment comes. Let alone someone else.

I bent my steps. I was going to turn away and leave without looking back. But I was approaching the piano before I knew it. I pointed out the wrong note.

Jungkook looked up at me. "Hyung..."

It was the first time we'd seen each other since I'd dropped out of school.
