The Devil's Piano | seongjoong ✔️

"I can't, I can't do this anymore, fuck this," said the boy frustrated, tired of being abused by his drunk father and irresponsible mother. He can hear them yelling at each other. He had enough of it.

"Do you guys even care about how's Seonghwa feels after the unfairness treatment you both did to him for a long time?!" now his older sister joins the argument.

He jumped out of the window with a backpack full of clothes, food, and water. He decided not to sleep in the house for a day or two to get out of this chaotic situation he experienced almost every day ever since he was twelve years old. He put on some earphones and shuffles through his playlist to pick the right song he had in the mood to listen to.

As he kept walking he realized that he's in a part of the town where it looks like an abandoned area and there are no people around. He lay down on the grass, put his backpack next to him, and enjoy the peaceful moment. He plans to stay in a friend's house after this.

"Oh hey there kitty," He said while smiling at a black cat that has yellow piercing eyes. He pets it for some time. He sighs before saying "I wish I could be free like you and not having a toxic relationship with my family, the only family that cares about me is my sister, if I lose her I would've just killed myself for that matter you know?" he talks to the cat as if the cat could understand in what he's saying.

He texted his friend saying that he's going to stay there for a night and his friend replies "Yeah I know your situation, just come here if you already feel like it," he sighs again and closes his eyes.

After an hour or so it's already afternoon, and the boy wakes up because he heard a noise coming from the right side of where he is now sitting.

"Is that...a piano sound?" He's so confused as to why would there still be a functioned piano in this abandoned area. "Should I check it out?" He thought to himself. He wants to go in the sound's direction but at the same time, he doesn't because it's going to be nighttime. "Fuck it I'm curious, it's not like I have a good life to live anyways if I go back to mom and dad's house."

He then arrived at an abandoned house. "This is definitely where the sound is coming from," He goes into the house and tries to be quiet as possible, as the sound started to get louder and louder,  he peeks through a corner. Seonghwa sees a boy, maybe the same age as him playing the piano in a living room. The piano was pretty loud so the boy who was playing the piano couldn't hear anything besides the piano, or so he thought. He thought about going up to him but changed his mind because it's pretty sketchy to go up to strangers like that so he decided to leave the house.

"Wait, don't leave yet, we just met, don't we?" The boy chuckle in a mischievous way.
