VIVA LA VIDA
VIVA LA VIDA







On a bustling night,

After the unsettling family conflict that had taken over her life. Amid arguments and strife, Yiseul decided to part ways with her mom in an attempt to alleviate some of the tension in her household. Not even having any idea of where to stay.

Just then she realizes just how fucked up her life is. Her eyes watered and at the same time the rain came flushing down
"Oh damn you! Mother nature!"

--

Walking to the convenience store she bought a few snacks with the only money left out of her bag, with teary eyes and a soaked-down body leaving a puddle of water where she walked gets weird looks from others.

She accidentally bumped into a stranger and her snacks fell from the impact and the weak hold from the girl. "Omg I'm sorry I was daydreaming I didn't see you-" the stranger stopped talking, startled to see the girl at her weakness. A quick worry washed through the man "Are you okay--"

The sudden question made her shed a quick tear "Damnit I don't know! I don't even know the reason I exist in this fucking messed-up world!"

After the sudden outburst, she silently apologised for taking out her anger on the man "Sorry I don't know what has taken over me" She quickly walked away after picking up her snacks.

--

Her legs brought her to the middle of the street, and the girl walked soullessly through the rain, cries could be heard from the girl "How could everything never go my way" the girl sobs, her voice muffled by the piece of bread she bought earlier at the convenience store "I should've just killed myself earlier"

She stops walking and screams "AAAAAA EOMMA APPAA YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST!"

She felt the huge weight drowning her as she walked. Yes, she had bought the guitar, but as time passed by she was starting to regret doing this all for a hobby. She sniffles and laughs a little just then she realizes she hadn't brought enough money to stay the night.

She continues to sob, looking down at her shadow and is quickly taken aback when the once single shadow comes out as two. She turned and saw the bright moon multiplied, as confused as she was, her once watery eyes saw a glimpse of a bright shining sign from a shop that felt out of place

"La Vida?" She mumbled

The shop was unlike any she had seen before. Its neon sign, flickering in a way that felt out of place for 2023, she could see different instruments laid out.

It's a music shop!

beckoned her to step inside. It was as if time itself had paused in this shop.

Yiseul entered the store as she opened the door a soft guitar could be heard strumming to a violin stick, she was amazed by the innovative idea. She looked around.

The walls were adorned with posters of '90s bands, and the air was filled with the nostalgic feel of that era. The store felt like a portal to another time.

Yiseul was startled when she was greeted by the shop's owner who appeared out of nowhere.

"Welcome! To La Vida music shop, nice to meet you. How did you find this shop? I'm sure it was hard to find" The owner speaks with some kind of foreign accent and accentuates the 'welcome' in English

"what do you mean?" She asks cluelessly. The owner just blinked awkwardly

"Well, I was right in front of it, and the bright sign caught my attention." Yiseul confusedly answer

A silent awkwardness passes between them, and then the owner breaks it

"Anyway how can I help you today, you want to buy instruments? I've got every instrument you could think of....."

The owner starts advertising his shops and not gonna lie they look truly grand. All the different types of instruments are scattered throughout the store and are placed nicely.

But she remembered about the heavy instrument and decided to take this chance to sell it for more money and maybe invest in it

"There is one thing you can help me with.." Her gaze remained fixed on the pretty guitar sad to let it go but it was for her good.

"Can I sell my guitar?"
