Melody Of the Night [HIATUS]

¨Sir, someone wants to talk to you on the phone." One of his secretary interrupted, earning a glare from Mr.Kim.

"Excuse me, it was nice talking to you, Seon-yul." Mr.Kim said and left the class. 

That was weird... but Mr.Kim do seem like a nice man though... Seon-yul thought as she watched Mr.Kim and his two secretaries walking down the hall. Then, her mind wondered back to Baekhyun again, thinking about him made her sad. Forcing herself to pay attention to the teacher, Seon-yul frowned and looked at the white board.


 

The school day slowly passed by. Sitting at her desk with a stack of paper piled in front, Seon-yul’s mind wondered to Baekhyun. The girl is worried about the date with him tomorrow since he seemed more cold and distant.

Flash back:

"Cheer up baby, I'm calling to ask if you are free the day after tomorrow, I was thinking we should go on a date. It's been a long time since we spend time with each other." Baekhyun said flatly.

"Sure, I'm free, so after school then I guess?" Seon-yul replied sadly, clearly noticing the bored tone in his voice.

"Yeah. Well I got to go I'll talk to you later." Baekhyun said.

"Okay, love you." 

"Okay, bye" He ended the call.

The feeling of pain and sadness swelled up from Seon-yul's heart. She actually told him she loves him and he just responded with an 'okay'.

What if he is planning to break up with me? Seon-yul thought uneasily, she didn't want to lose him, she was still in love with him... Finally, Seon-yul stopped her wild thoughts and turned her attention to the papers in front of her. Sighing, she scanned over the paper and lazily organized the mess. Suddenly, in the pile, she spotted an important looking envelope under some music scores. 

Carefully holding the cerulean envelope in her hands, Seon-yul looked at the front of it. 

Gifted Music Program Invitation

Rim Seon-yul. Room 502. 

The girl stared at the letter in confusion, what is the Gifted Music Program? Before she got a chance to find out, Mr. Lau started speaking.

"Ahem. Attention everyone, this will be the end of the class today. Don't forget the project that is due on Monday. You are dismissed." Mr. Lau said loudly. Everyone immediately packed up and exited the classroom. Seon-yul wanted to read the letter, but she remembered the musical  is going to start in half an hour. Glancing at the clock, she quickly stuffed the envelope into her purse and hurried out the room.

Walking down the wide hall way of the university, she wished Baekhyun could have came with her to the musical with her, it will be so lonely watching the play by herself... 

A moment later, Seon-yul couldn't help but notice the two loud boys walking in front of her. The two seemed to be too engaged in their conversation to realize that they were passing by classrooms that were still working. 

"Dude, did you hear about the new Music program?"

"What program?"

"The one funded by the director of this school, I heard it's super hard to get in." 

"Really? Do you know anyone who's going yet?"

"No, I heard they're only picking one or two super talented students in music class."

"Don't you know piano? Why don't you try out?"

"Me? No way, I am not that good, plus, there are no applications or tryouts. I heard the school will invite the students or something..."

The two boys walked on, Seon-yul really wanted to keep listening, but she had to turn at the corner. Once she got out of the university building, Seon-yul headed for the bus stop. On the way there, Seon-yul couldn't stop thinking about what the two boys had said back there. She had so many questions in her mind right now. 

 

The bus soon arrived, Seon-yul got on and found an empty seat near the back. She walked over and sat down by the window with her violin in her hand. Since there was nothing to do, Seon-yul decided to take a look at the letter she received. Gently ripping the envelope open, she took out a dark blue card from inside. 

The dark blue cover was blank, and there was elegant hand writing on the inside. This letter ended up being from Mr.Kim, it talked about inviting Seon-yul to join this special international music program because of her talent and potential. Seon-yul realized this must be what those boys were talking about back there.

Before making a decision, Seon-yul decided to ask for her parent's opinion, this program is in Seoul which is kind of far from her home in Busan. Taking the fastest train would take about 3 hours. Although this is a great opportunity, this is still a big decision to make. 

 

Soon, the bus stopped in front of the busy building of the musical theater. Seon-yul got off at the stop and headed towards the building. When she was lining up to buy the tickets, a handsome boy caught her attention. Instead of lining up like everyone else, he simply walked up to the counter and said something to the worker. A moment later, he was let in. 

"What?" Seon-yul said in surprise. Two women standing behind her heard her and laughed. 

"Don't get mad dear, he was the son of the director of band today, and I heard this band is very professional." One plump lady said.

"Oh, people say the piano player is very good, and young too." A taller lady added.

"Really? But still, that boy shouldn't have cut through the line just because he is the son of that director. Those rich people..." Seon-yul complained and sighed. She really hated this system of the 'rich privilege', how powerful or rich people receive special treatments. 

Instead of bribing the rich who already have the money, companies should help the poor who doesn't have enough. This world is hopeless, she thought.

 

Once she was seated inside the dark theater, she once again noticed that beautiful boy. He stood up from the seat in the VIP row and walked towards the backstage entrance. 

Where is he going? Doesn't he already have a nice spot in the VIP section? 

Seon-yul wondered as she continued gazing at him. One of the workers blocked him from the backstage door, but the boy said something and immediately, the worker bowed down in apology. 

What? They're letting him in? Seon-yul looked at them in shock, she began feeling a bit mad at the situation in front of her. Shaking her head in disbelief, she looked away and focused on the stage which was covered by red curtains. Soon, all lights were shut off and the curtains slowly opened, accompanied by the lovely sound of music. The band was playing live by the side of the room. Just like the two ladies had mentioned, it sounded fantastic. 

Watching the play and enjoying the music, Seon-yul suddenly tensed up during the piano solo part. The tune was sad, matching the performance on stage, it wasn't like anything Seon-yul has experienced before. Strangely, the music sounded familiar to Seon-yul... She had just played the piece this morning, it was the music sheets that anonymous strange had left her. The name of the piece was... Moonlight Sonata, by Beethoven!

 

The audiences clapped in satisfaction as the performance ended, the red curtain was pulled closed once again. The band also started evacuating from the room. Seon-yul didn't notice, but the young talented piano player was the boy whom she had disliked, the son of the director of band. 

Although Seon-yul didn't see the piano boy, he had spotted her out of all the audiences. He felt so happy and surprised to see her here. He hoped she enjoyed his performance on the grand piano. He also felt so close to her, he sees her everyday after all. Taking glances at the lovely girl, the boy noticed an envelope falling from her purse, Seon-yul herself didn't know though, she just continued walking toward the exit. 

Exiting the building, Seon-yul saw Mr.Kim passing by in a luxurious car down the road, she caught glimpse of a familiar looking young boy in there with Mr.Kim. She didn't pay much attention to them and headed for the school where she practiced her violin. 

 

Seon-yul passed the back garden of the art building of her old high school and headed upstairs to the music room. Opening the door, the first thing she looked at was her usual spot by the window, and just as expected, there was something there for her.

Seon-yul happily hopped over and picked the item up, it was a lollipop today underneath the lollipop was a familiar envelope. Seon-yul realized this envelope was the one she received from Mr.Kim. Surprised to see it here, she quickly looked into her purse. The invitation was not there, Seon-yul picked up the lollipop and placed it in her purse before taking the envelope and studying it. 

Same colour, same content, no doubt this was Seon-yul's. The confused girl stood there dumbfounded, she had so many questions in her mind.

Who could have known about this place? Who could have known the envelope belonged to me?

Feeling extremely creeped out, Seon-yul quickly put the envelope away and began playing her violin to ease up a little. 

Soon, she entered the trance and lost track of time. She played, and played. As usual, the boy out on the branches listened and admired the beautiful melody of the night.

 

The next morning, Seon-yul woke up in uneasiness, she felt upset about the date with Baekhyun today... She couldn't help but imagine the worst case scenarios.

Since the date was right after school, she decided to dress up nicely and apply a thin layer of makeup. Her parents weren't home, they already left for work. And because of the time she arrived home last night, she never got to tell them about the invitation to the music program she received from Mr. Kim.

This day flew by quick when Seon-yul wished for the opposite. When school was over, the anxious girl slowly packed her things up and headed for the coffee shop which Baekhyun said they'd meet at. From far away, Seon-yul spotted the figure standing by the shop entrance, it was no doubt Baekhyun. He waved at Seon-yul when he saw her, she waved back and hurried over. It's been for ages since she saw him and hugged him. Well, she did see him with the other girl last night... 

"Hi, sunshine! You kept me waiting." Baekhyun said and flashed a bright smile. Seon-yul smiled back and felt more at ease when she saw Baekhyun's cheerful eyes.

"Sorry for being late, by a minute." She laughed and pointed at her watch. Baekhyun stuck his tongue out at her and grabbed her hand.

"So, you want something to drink?" Baekhyun asked, looking inside the shop.

"Yeah, I'm actually kind of thirsty right now." Seon-yul replied and the two went inside the shop. Seon-yul and Baekhyun both bought something to drink and they headed out.

Walking down a small narrow path side by side, the two chatted and laughed. Seon-yul's worries were all gone. In fact, she is having a great time right now. With their fingers intertwined together, the surroundings began grow darker and quieter, the street became an alleyway. Everything around them seemed isolated. 

"Should we start heading back now? It's getting dark." Seon-yul suggested. 

Something flashed in Baekhyun's eyes as he shook his head, "Our fun had just started..." 

Without any warning, Baekhyun leaned in for a forceful kiss on Seon-yul's lips, causing her to flinch in shock. His tongue invaded and he gently bit Seon-yul's lip. The startled girl whimpered in process and tried to push him away. Finally breaking the contact, she covered his mouth and stared at him in shock. 

"Baekhyun..." She managed to say.

The male once again closed the distance between them as the look of lust filled his face. He cupped her face and leaned in for another kiss, then, his hand began travelling down from her back, onto her hips. 

Seon-yul pushed him away and looked at him in fear. "No. Baekhyun, stop it!" She protested and moved away from him.

"No? Seon-yul my baby bear, you'll love it, come on..." Baekhyun whispered in a seductive voice and walked towards her.
