Finding Freedom

Adjusting

After everyone finished eating, you got up to help clean up. After cleaning up, you were going to your room. "Y/n, can you come here real quick." You turned back around and looked at Jin."Yes?" He gestured for you to sit down. "First off, are you okay? That was a lot that you shared earlier." You look at your hands."Yeah. The orphanage was the good part of my life so far. It's what happened after that scares me to tell yall." He nods his head."And that's okay. We are here to talk if you want or need to. So while you were picking phone cases, I went and bought you a phone and went and got you a tag so no one thinks you're stray." He quoted around stray. "I had Yoongi set up the phone for you. All our phone numbers are on there already. There's an emergency button on the side that you open the case to reach." You listened closely. "Here's your bracelet with the tag and the phone. If you need help with anything, ask, okay?" You nod "Thanks jinnie." You get red at the nickname and walk away quickly.

While you were walking past some of the rooms, putting Yuns contact in to your phone, one of them opened and out walked a shirtless Tae. You didn't notice and bumped into him. He grabbed your waist to prevent you from stumbling. "Sorry, I wasn't paying att-" You looked up to see he had no shirt on. "It's okay, Y/n. Wanna hang out?" You feel the red creeping up your face. "Um, yeah, that sounds good." He smiles."Come on." he sticks his hand out for you to take. Once you took his hand, he led you into his room.

This was your first time in his room. Everything in the room suited him. He pulled a shirt on and then pulled you to a small couch like the one in your room. "So what are we gonna do?" He looks at you with a little grin. "I am going to teach you to play piano." You scrunch your face sarcastically. "Me. Play piano? That's funny." He laughs. "No, I'm serious. I want to teach you to play." You look at him. You just look. "What if I'm hard to teach? You'll just give up on me." He looks at you with a half smile."Now why would I do that, love?" You pause remembering the orphanage.

(Mrs.Choi is standing behind you while you attempted to play, but even after 5 lessons, you couldn't get it. "I'm sorry, I just can't remember the notes." You feel a sharp pain on your hands again just like the ones you would get when you played the wrong note. Your hands were red, and your eyes filled with tears."Try again." She gave up on you after a month. You learned on your own after a year, but you weren't the best.)

"What if I told you I already know how to play kinda." He raised an eyebrow. "oooo show me." You pause. "Do you have any sheet music?" He looks around and grabs some off a nearby table and leads you to the piano in the corner of the room. "It's not easy. Do you think you can do this one?" You look at the sheet thoroughly. "This one seems quite easy, actually. I'll take a go at it. But i might not be that good i haven't played in a while." You rested your body in the chair and set your fingers against the keyboard. You open your eyes and look at the notes, and let your fingers move with the notes on the paper. You feel a sense of love wash over you. You remember why you wanted to learn so badly. It's because piano music has always been so special to you. You feel the music flowing through you as you play.

Taehyung POV

I see her visibly relax as she gets ready to play. She thinks this piece will be easy. I hope she's right. I can't get it yet. I pull out my phone and record so I can watch and show the others later. She exhales and starts to play. I hear the first set of notes she plays them perfectly. When she gets to the mid chorus, my jaw dropped, and she hasn't missed a single note. I can't even do that yet this is her first time seeing the music and she's aceing it. As the song comes to an end, I see her smiling widely. She's having fun. All I can think is that I'm so happy that she's happy. When she stopped, she turned and looked at me, wanting to know what I thought, I supposed.

Y/n POV

I turned to look at him to see what he thought. His mouth was slightly open, and he looked shocked. "Was it bad. Sorry, it's been a whi-. " You were cut off by him cupping your face. "Bad. Love that was freaking perfect. I can't even play that song as well as you did, and I've been trying for a week." He puts his hands in the air and makes quote gestures."Might not be that good. That was friken awesome." You smile."It was not that good, but thank you." His jaw dropped. "Not that good look listen it was actually perfect." he pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Why did you record me? That's embarrassing." He drops his hands to his side and looks at you funny."It's not embarrassing when you play like that, I'm being serious listen."
