Ha-neul was a beautiful young lady, never really expecting to find anyone to love. Until, obviously, as this story is a love story, someone came along to change her mind.
Ha-neul had gone to a vibe cafe late at night, without any of her friends. She honestly felt like she needed some alone time from those weirdos.
Ha-neul was just sitting in silence, waiting and wondering if anyone would come along, but she pushed it out of her mind, because she personally though thinking about it was stupid.
As she did not like to express her feelings often. Not around her friends, best friend, and even family. She didn't want to lower her walls for anyone.
"Want a drink?" Asked the young bar tender. She looked up. Her dark, but yet, bright grey panther eyes stared into his calm, gentle snowy, pale blue, leopard eyes.
"Just water," she said flatly. The boy looked at her. "Nothing else?" She shook her head no. "How about a clown? I put up quite the performance." Ha-neul just eyed the bartender like he was weird- which he was.
"I take it as a no. You don't like to talk a lot, do you?"
"No, I do, but.. I'm just not in the right mindset right now. I guess a little circus could help." Ha-neul offered a light smile. "I'm pleased to perform. My names Azure. Yours?"
"Ha-neul."
"Interesting name. Anyway, I won't do this in front of everyone, but I'd only do it in front of you. I'm a little too scared to do this in front of a crowd, so yeah."
"It's fine, you can do whatever. What're you planning to do, anyway?" Azure looked like he was going to be sent to hell after this.
"I could.. write you a uh.. poem? That good?"
"I like poems," Ha-neul replied. Then Azure got writing.
"Okay, well, it's not a poem, but it's a song. There's no lyrics, but there's music. Want to hear it? It could be like our little private song," Azure winked.
Ha-neul offered a smile. "Yeah, sure. By the way, you can just call me 'Neul,'" Azure smiled. They were starting to get informal.
"Alright, m'lady. I'll perform the song now, I guess," Azure headed to the grand piano the café had. Sadly, he had to perform it in front of people.
"Wait, don't you have stage fright? You don't have to perform now." Neul stated.
Azure just shook his head like she misunderstood something. "You don't get it, even if I was scared to perform, if you'd ask me to, I'd do it anyway. It helps build my confidence at the same time too, I guess."
Neul was in somewhat of a shock. How could he perform for someone he just met? Or how could it seem like he'd do anything for this person- even if he just met her.
He went up on the stage, and started playing the piano.
"I'll call this one 'River Flows In You,'" then he smiled at her as he was playing. The beautiful melody was honestly too much to bare. The way Neul noticed how his hands danced across the piano keyboard, dancing to the song.
SEVEN YEARS LATER
Neul's 25th official birthday. She and Azure had obviously been dating for a while now. They went sightseeing in many countries and cities.
Everywhere they went, he played their song in each city, in each country, in each state, to remind them that this was their song.
Until Neul's birthday came to be her worst one.
She stopped dancing to their song when she realized she was dancing alone.
The next morning, alone in bed, without anyone to see the first thing, she got up from the bed, solemnly.
Why didn't he had told her he was sick? Was he scared? Was he stupid? She would never know. Nobody ever knows the real truth. Why? Because the people who held those secrets died with it.
TWO YEARS LATER (SHE'S 27 NOW)
She was cleaning in the house, until she heard a piano playing. She could've sworn her friends didn't come over. She checked the living room.
The same song that was a small secret shared between them, and them alone, started playing on the haunted piano.
She thought this was a fairytale, a dream come true. She'd never though she'd hear it again, she must've thought it was a fluke.
Then she started dancing the way they used to,
A smile crept on to her face, the first one in two years.
Yes, to her, it really was a dream come true.
It was like someone else's fears, we're making her happy.
And so, this is Ha-neul's and Azure's fairytale.
Spread the word, spread the tale.
Everyone has a story and it deserves to be shared.
No matter how big, not matter how small, a story is a story, the way it was written, the way it was told,
It would never leave you feeling cold.
Life is a fairytale made by you
Make sure it is shared
Include your hopes, dreams, and lovers too.
Include all your dares
All of this is true
