Ch 9- People Who Make Me Sad
Yukiko's Pov
"Yuki aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Mom placed the plates down on the table. "I can't." I put on my shoes at the front door, "why not?" I sighed, "I have to finish a school project this morning." I slung my backpack over my shoulders, placing my hand on the door knob ready to open the door. "Wait, at least eat a toast, breakfast is the most important meal." Mom gave me a toast with honey spread, she waved as I went out the door. I walked to school, just a couple miles away from where I live. I finished my toast and entered the school, heading to my homeroom to grab my project.
I placed my project on my desk, we have to make a history timeline about the Jeon Dynasty. I was the only one in the classroom, skimming through my book and wrote down information. I never thought school would be so creepy when you're alone, or like in those horror movies because I thought I heard a little girl's laugh again. I looked up from the poster and stare out the hallway, with the lightly dim lights. The sun wasn't up all the way, so it's a bit dark outside.
I ignored whatever I heard and continue my work, "hehe, Yuki~" ignore it Yukiko, it's just your mind that is playing. "Yuuukiiikooo~ come find me again," the child like voice provoked me in a singing voice, I shut my eyes tightly. "C'mon Yuki, you won't regret it just follow me." I slowly open my eyes, seeing a little girl in front of me. She wore a blue dress, with long black hair looking silky, big eyes but held mischievous in her eyes, and was about a meter tall. "I'm not going anywhere with you," I looked away doing my project, "You're just my imagination or hallucination or what ever you are! Just leave me alone!" Then she disappeared just like that.
I exhaled rubbing the temples of my head, "this is giving me a headache." I continue to massage my temple when I heard music playing, or more like a piano piece. Please don't tell me I'm hallucinating again, I shook my head when I heard the piano stop playing. I was just hallucinating, I went back to my project when the sun ray peeked through the window. I stared out the window seeing the sun slowly rise, with an illuminating blazing orange. I felt the warmth of the sun hit my face heating it up, this feels nice. The warmth of comfort from the heat of the sun, not having to worry about what I'm seeing I wish it could stay like this.
Nice, warm, and quiet. A piano was playing, making me open my eyes again. The piece was beautiful but there was no emotion to it. "YUKI! SHUT IT OUT YOU CAN'T HEAR WHAT THE PIANO IS PLAYING! THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR MOM WILL FEEL HOW YOUR DAD WILL FEEL! Your dad wouldn't want you to continue music or even listen to music because of your mom!" Mami-chan appeared in front of me furious.
She did this weird thing with her hands shutting the sound of the piano out, but it didn't work I could still hear it playing. Mami-chan groaned stomping her foot. I stood up from my seat walking out of the classroom, I follow the sound of where the piano is playing. From my left is where it's coming from.
I thought Mami-chan would follow me but I guess not. I had a feeling of happiness rush over me, when she wasn't stopping me where I can actually hear music again. I came across a four way hallway stopping in the middle of the point, listening to the direction it was coming from. Right, I turned right and down the hall to the last room.
I walked to the door, it was the music room. The lights were off except the light providing from the sun, a boy in a school uniform sat there playing on the grand piano. His is hair is black, his fingers roaming over the keys, I can't see his face but just the side profile. He stared ahead of him, often looking down to the keys so he wouldn't mess up. His eyes held no emotion like he's bored, but the piano holds emotion. Before it had no emotion, when I entered the room it has this emotion I couldn't explain.
He must be somewhat emotional but at the same time he doesn't want to. I can hear it in the piano, his emotion was there but soon disappeared like a reply of mixed emotions. What is going through his mind? "People Who Make Me Sad by Kim KyungHo." The piano keys messed up, making me stand in shock. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." I apologized quietly when his face showed shock, anger and then calm. "What are you doing here, you shouldn't be here?" His voice had a tint of anger but calmness. I looked at him, "what about you then? You shouldn't be here too."
He chuckled, "don't be smart with me, go back to homeroom Jap." I furrowed my eyebrows, "I just... I want hear the piano again." I looked down with a crack in my voice, fiddling with my fingers behind my back. He sighed, "I guess you can sit with me at the bench. It's still early before school starts c'mon." I looked up with my eyes slightly wide open. "Thanks." I broke a smile but I saw Mami-chan standing by the piano with anger in her eyes. We had a staring contest, I felt a rush of fear run over my body. Maybe he's right, I shouldn't be here.
"Hey Jap, you're here already just sit." He patted the seat next to him, I looked at Mami-chan before making my way to him. She came up in a flash to stop me, "don't you dare take a step forward. Turn around and forget this place!" Mami-chan warned but disappeared when my hand was in a grasp in someone else's hand, pulling me in to hit a firm chest. "Ow, snap out of it are going to sit or not?" He sighed frustratingly rubbing his chest, "damn is your head made out of rocks?" He mumbled walking to the bench of the piano, with my wrist in hands. "Um, your hand." He looked down at our hands, he didn't let go for a moment and released it slowly.
We sat there in front of the piano keys, "you don't have emotion when you play," I blurted out loud, he scoffed, "what do you know? You don't play nor are you me, you don't know how I feel." He ruffled his hair, I looked at the keys having a rush of fear take over me. But in my heart it's warm and comforting with slow steady beats, pounding like a metronome. "You're right I don't play anymore, but I used to. I'm not you either so I don't know how you feel, but I can feel your emotion through the piano." My voice was hoarse and scratchy but I could care less, my voice wasn't fully healed.
He was quiet, "You don't play anymore?" He asked, I shook my head still staring at the black and white keys. "Why?" I finally looked at him, a look of shock in his face but soon soften. He lift his hands to wipe away the tears I didn't know that fell. I turned my face away wiping my own tears, "sorry, I didn't know I was crying." I took a deep breath. "Why?" He asked again, "why did you stop playing?" I bit the inside of my mouth.
"Because, because it's torture. It haunts me, blames me, hurts me more than I know. I miss playing but I can't play." I closed my eyes, feeling the tear drops fall on my hand. "Why can't you?" I heard him shift in his seat, "my... my dad died because of me, in a car accident. The last music playing in the car was our favorite song my dad and I loved. And because of that song my mom probably hates me." I covered my face with my hands. The piano played again, I lift my face from my hands looking at him through my blurry tears. He didn't ask anymore questions and I was thankful.
This time I can really feel the emotion, and see his emotion. He played it so beautifully, "People Who Make Me Sad, what do you know heh." I chuckled wiping the remaining tears away. "Sorry." He gave an airy chuckle, "don't apologize, this is for you." He gave a quick glance at me then looked away with a smile, my eyes widen, for me? Why? Students started coming in so we decide to stop and step out of the music room. He walked ahead of me, I grabbed his hand stopping him. He looked down at our hands and looked at me with a questioning face.
"Can we... do this again... tomorrow morning?" I stared in his eyes, and he nodded. I pulled my hands away with a smile, we walked out of the music room together. "I'm Yoongi by the way." He shoved his hands in his front pockets as we walked to homeroom. "I'm Yukiko." I whisper under neath my breatj, "heh, I know." We finally entered in our homeroom, seeing Namjoon and Taehyung sitting at their desk. "Hyung, mute girl!" Taehyung jumped out of his seat.
"Stop calling her mute girl, she isn't a mute." Yoongi used his index finger to push Taehyung's head back on the forehead. I walked back to my desk as Taehyung is complaining to Yoongi. "Where did you and Yoongi hyung go?" Namjoon asked once I took a seat. "Music room." I shortly replied, "oh" was all he said. "Your voice seems to be getting better." I nodded my head, "yeah, I can't wait to have my voice back and sing." I smiled unknowingly when I looked up to see Namjoon smile.
It seemed like Namjoon could read my mind as I said 'what?' "You smiled, it suits you by the way. Keep smiling... beautiful." He looked away with a smile, showing a deep dimple. His comment made me blush smiling to myself. Wait, why are you blushing suddenly Yuki? It was just a compliment. After lunch I waved bye to guys, something I didn't know today was that I'm more happier after what happened this morning. I walked to the nurses office to see Nurse Kim. "Good afternoon Miss Tsuneko." I smiled, "good afternoon."
I took a seat in front of Nurse Kim, I got used to Nurse Kim he was like a brother I never had. "My someone seems happy today. Did a guy confess to you?" I shot him a look, "it's not like that!" I couldn't shout, but my voice came out raspy as I raised me voice. "I'm just joking, you didn't need to get defensive. So something good happen then?" He pulled out the records of my progress as I nodded my head.
"Tell me, maybe this can be our session for today." I smiled again but turned into a frown, I didn't tell Nurse Kim about my hallucination, with Mami-chan and that unknown little girl that follows me everywhere. "Why the frown, you can tell oppa anything." I punched his arm as we chuckled, I'm not sure if I should tell him. If I tell him they're going to tell mom, I think mom should be the first to know. This is getting serious, Mami-chan is constantly coming at me, I'm having nightmares and painful headaches.
"I think I'm seeing things." I sternly spoke looking into Nurse kim's eyes.

TBC!
So today.... My friends came over today for a hangout at my place and later found out that my friend closed my door all the way locking me out of my ROOM! Literally woke everyone one of my fam to wake up and help me open the door. My door only has one door knob that can only be opened from the inside.
What a useless door, no one bothered to fix my door knob. -_-
