The Autumn I Met You | Jun x Yerin

Chapter 13 🍂:: The day I got flashbacks

Jun plays the first few notes on the piano. Wonwoo and Sinb relieved from the audience. Yerin keeping her eyes on him. Watching his every move, listening to every note.

"He's back..." Sinb sighs happily. "Wen Junhui..." Woozi watches him from the audience. "The Jun I remembered from years ago... he is back." Eunha says to herself.

As Jun plays, words he tell himself go in and out of his mind. "I...I can hear the notes." Jun tells himself surprised. Then remembering what Yerin told him in his practices. "How do you want to play this piece?" Jun smiles to himself, then everything around him went black.

As his mother appeared next to him. "A real musician only follows the score, only the score." He hears his mothers voice. "There is no chances of winning unless you do so." Then hearing his Mom whispering in his ear. "You want to get first place right? For me to get better don't you." Another flashback appears in his mind.

Jun, Wonwoo and Sinb were in school talking. "My Mom is coming to see me perform!" Jun tells them excited. "She has gotten better already? Thats good!" Wonwoo responds. "She'll be so proud of you." Sinb tells Jun. "I hope so."

Another flashback appears in Jun's mind. The day he performed the piano in front of his Mom. Bringing back horrid memories.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? A friend of Jun's Mom asks her as she slapped Jun across the face. "YOU CALL THAT A PERFORMANCE?" Jun's Mom questioned Jun.

"I TOLD YOU TO REVIEW THE SCORE MANY TIMES. ALL OVER AGAIN. AND YOU HAVEN'T DID YOU?" She scolds Jun all over again. Grabbing onto her cane smacking Jun in the head.

"YOU IDIOT. YOU FAILURE." She throws insults at Jun. "MISTAKES LIKE THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU'RE DROWNING IN YOUR EMOTIONS." Jun's Mom smacks his hand, letting go of the piano sheets being tossed onto the ground.

As a drop of blood falls from Jun's face. He picks up the piano sheets on the ground and throws it as his Mom. "I did this for you, to make you proud of me. When I wanted to go out with Sinb and Wonwoo. And everytime you hit me. I put myself together to continue practicing. Getting first place in competitions. And still you aren't happy...WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE!?" Jun screams at his Mom. After that she passed.

"Those were the last words I said to her" Jun looks up at the audience and states at the seat his Mom last sat in. Suddenly seeing a figure of his Mom next to him. "This is your punishment..." Jun looks back at the keys, as the sound of the piano starts fading away. Speeding up the tempo of the song. Hitting the notes hard.

Yerin clenched her fist around the seat in front of her. Woozi watches surprised, "What..What happened?" Woozi asks himself. "Rumours has it that he can't hear his own playing." Eunha informs Woozi next to her.

"Focus...focus..." Jun tells himself anxious. "This is your punishment..."
