The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky. It was beautifully loud from the music room. The boy was playing with his wound-covered hand. The sun is brightly shining and the sky was clear. 

He keeps playing and playing the same piece. And nobody can ever disturb him from it.

"No! this is not it, I can't do it!" The boy yells and slammed his hand on the keys. 

Every time he hears the piano, he can only remember his mom. He remembered the fact that before his mother left him, she was also playing the piano. The same piece, and the same wound-covered hand. His mother could only say that she's leaving. 

His head was full of his past that his head was ringing. So why? Why was he trying so hard to play the piano piece? 

And a knock was heard on the door. 

"Who is it?"

"You don't need to know, what you need to know is how to disinfect those wounds on your hand." She said while opening the door and walking to the window in the room. 

"Go away, I don't even know you. You are ruining my time, didn't you heard that this music room is off-limits? This school is a fucking art school, get another room."

"Oh boy that was exhausting. Don't you know who I am? I'm Kang Y/N. I can expel you if I want. But then again, you'll be a pitiful unknown pianist if I ever expel you."

"Talk about being a bad person. I still don't know you, I heard you in those rumors the other kids were talking about. I don't know you personally and go on expel me, it can only tire you out."

"Well--"

The boy lean closer to Kang Y/N and touched her eye to wipe off the tears that were falling.

"And next time you are trying to be mean, get those tears off your face. The show shouldn't be ruined."

He left the room and Kang Y/N can only think about what the boy said.
