Chapter 1: Serendipity
It's 2010,
               You arrive at The London College of Music with your best friend. You're wearing a white dress with a black blazer over it. As usual, you are running late but quite like 007 you manage to sneak in. It’s a relatively quiet, dusty hall with a small but posh audience. You make your way backstage but your friend is requested to wait among the audience. You are studying for a bachelor's degree at The London School of Economics, but here in secret to audition for Music Uni as a pianist. There's a man who walks past you, oozing with confidence, he takes a seat at the piano. He plays an original composition in F minor, which he titled I NEED U. You close your eyes to hear the beautiful, intricate melody he plays, the effects of which linger in the air, sending chills down your spine.
               As he finishes, the quiet hall bursts into applause. He stands and bows gracefully. When the applause finally dies down, you hear your name called. You walk on stage and turn to your friend in the audience, Taehyung who's cheering you on loudly (in the upper 2nd octave naturally ;) You see a beautiful Steinway piano before you, sitting down you begin to play Anneliese (you stop thinking of TaeTae unfortunately and delve into the piece with all your heart.)
              
His POV:
               I'm here to cheer my friend on. I'm sure it'll be a magnificent performance as always. The composition is mind-blowing, I wonder what goes on in the mind of prodigies. Wow! Naturally, the whole audience stands to applaud him. My buddy walks off coolly but I can see him blushing. The other contestants were sub-par, they didn't feel it, they just played mechanically without Passion. Besides, can anyone ever equal my buddy?
               The next performance is about to commence. This beautiful Japanese girl walked onto the stage and smiled ever so charmingly at someone in the audience, she then played a piece that would stir the hearts of angels.
               I go to somewhere I haven’t been and just watch people and colours. That’s my inspiration. Today, listening to her play a Strange Fire came over me almost like an EPIPHANY!  *infired, he began to jot something down*
              
Back to you:
               You pour your heart into this performance, into the music. You feel the Steinway keys speak to you, almost like they're saying "Thank you for your meaningful, melodious music. Thank you for your love." Just as you hit the last note, the crowd rise to give you a standing ovation, followed by loud cheers. You turn to see the judges on their feet and a grinning Taehyung... Still bewildered you make your way to TaeTae. He's holds you tight and says, "I'm so proud of you. Congratulations, you are definitely getting in. You truly deserve this. You are the most beautiful flower, more than anyone else in this world." You blush coyly, "That was from your heart" he says as he lays his hand on your chest, over your beating heart. TaeTae usually has a rather calming effect, butt he made your race even more.
               "Want some coffee or Tae?" asks TaeTae, your response is a cute angry grunt. He pets you, whilst grinning even more. As you walk out, you see the f minor pianist with suave. He has an air of coolness. His glossy skin was as white as Sugar. He seemed nonchalant but at the same time so present and aware. By his side stands a tall NamJa with Blonde hair, glorious features and piercing electric blue eyes. He's dressed in a rich white shirt with pressed black pants. His mannerisms are that of a sophisticated, refined gentleman. He's seems very intelligent and erudite. He's the embodiment of perfection from his polished black shoes to his neatly styled slick hair. His charming smile and sincerity knew no bounds. Time slows down as the Namja eyes' meet your gaze and for a moment you are convinced he could see inside your soul. TaeTae gently taps you, and you awaken from your trance. Who knew a mere stranger could have such a Strong effect on you...?
               TaeTae observed the whole scene and thinks on his feet. Next thing you know he's dragging you over to talk to them. He then casually starts up a conversation with the pianist who introduces himself as "Suga…" TaeTae impresses Suga with all the musical prowess he's gained from listening to you over the years. Meanwhile the mysterious gentleman pulls you aside and introduces himself-
                "I'm Kim NamJoon. I am a professional writer, it's a pleasure to meet you, I watched your enthralling take on Annaliese. It's a rare thing you find in life, something very special, like the calico, three-striped cat. Your music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life. I'm Enchanted!"
                "Enchantee, I'm Meghna Mizuki." You stretched out your hand, and feel a strong, firm but gentle handshake, he truly has an iron hand in a velvet glove. "Ah, Mizuki, you really are a beautiful moon… Your music befits the fairies; I have a feeling they dance around you when you play. Your music is something that will have extraordinary meaning in people's lives." He was so genuine; he touched your core. "I don't know but I'm glad my music meant something to you, the piano is everything to me, my piano keys are the lock that open my soul, I don't mean to sound so poetic but it just is-" "So, you don't just play like an angel, you talk like one too."
                You blush severely, and look away just to notice TaeTae and Suga listening to your conversation with Namjoon. "When did they stop talking? How long have they been listening in?" these thoughts race through your head as you blush furiously.
              
                You look over to see a put together Namjoon suddenly unnerved. Suga then Breaks The Silence "Would y'all like to (Nam)join us for coffee? Starbucks is just down the road, and I need an Iced Americano" "We were just going there!" exclaims TaeTae. So, the four of you exit the auditorium and walk down the road, enjoying the chill Joonie (June;) air. Y'all enter London's Starbucks and you can smell a warm inviting coffee with your Nam(e) on it. Namjoon takes your coat, and gently looks at you in your lovely white dress. The waiter Taekes your orders.
                Suga says, "It's such a prestigious institute. The standard of the musicians is quite high, but I think we were brilliant." You were initially worried he might see you as a rival, but that quickly fades away as he opens up to you,
"In the corner of my memory, a brown piano settled on one side, in the corner of my childhood house. I remember that moment, it was way taller than my height. The brown piano that guided me. I yearned for it. When I touched you with my small finger, I felt so nice. I played the piano wherever my hands took me. I didn't know the significance back then.
Back then I was content with just looking at the piano. I'm just a self-taught pianist. I don't know much. The musicians were all so technically precise” “That's such a touching story... I guess the piano was your First Love. You were incredible today. You've perfected your hand positions and posture all by yourself. I have great respect for self-taught musicians, truly. Suga, you are beautiful." "Thanks, that means something coming from you."
               Your orders arrive Suga and TaeTae blissfully enjoy their drinks, you turn to a quiet Namjoon and say, "So tell me a little about yourself" "I am writer, and I'm doing my final year at uni." You lean in closer, and he continues, "I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. My dad's a businessman and mom's a realtor. I have siblings, I love my sister "Kim Geong Min" very much. I would like to ask you, What excites you and makes your heart beat?" You tell him about your hometown in Japan, "I've grown up in England and loved every second of it but Japan will always have a special place in my heart. My Hometown Osaka is one of the best places on Earth, from the Shitenoji Temple and the Castles to the excellent street food. I'm studying for a bachelor's in Economics at the London School of Economics, I've played piano since I was little. It's My Everything. The piano has been with me through it all, it knows my secrets..." He's touched by your sentiments and shows great respect for them. "TaeTae has been my best friend since we were little, we gotten up to so many crazy antics together, my partner in crime ;) " TaeTae replies with a nod of agreement as he slurps down the last bit of his drink. NamJoon listens intently through it all and when the bill arrives, he insists on paying for your drink, ignoring all your protests. On exiting Starbucks y'all exchange phone numbers, when Suga turns to TaeTae and you, "Suga is my stage name, I'm Min Yoongi to my friends, and just Yoongi to you ;)" he says winking in your direction. "Yeah, don't scare her off" jokes NamJoon, Yoongi rolls his eyes. NamJoon then delicately kisses your hand and bids you goodbye.
