The sun streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting vibrant hues of red, blue, and gold across the pews. The air was filled with the soft murmurs of the people settling into their seats. At the front of the church, the choir stood poised, their robes a pristine white, a striking contrast against the dark wood of the altar behind them.
In the center of the choir stood a pretty boy with wide bambi eyes and cute buttoned nose, his heart pounding in his chest. Though his fingers were lightly gripping the hymnal, his thoughts were fixed to the tune he had spent weeks practicing.
The choir director raised his hand, and the church fell into a respectful silence. As the organist's fingers pressed the first keys, a rich, resonant chord filled the hall. Jungkook, the pretty boy, took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.
And when he began to sing, his voice soared, clear and pure, weaving through the notes with effortless grace. The hymn, a familiar and beloved piece, seemed to come alive through him, each word resonating with heartfelt emotion.
~ When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me. ~The people listened in rapt attention, the powerful combination of his voice and the music stirring something deep within them. His warm voice rang out, filling every corner of the church, his eyes shining with a quiet intensity. He felt a sense of peace and purpose, knowing that in this moment, he was exactly where he was meant to be.
As the hymn reached its crescendo, his voice lifted higher, echoing through the vaulted ceiling, mingling with the vibrant light from the stained-glass windows. For a moment, time seemed to stand still, the beauty of his voice transcending the walls of the church and touching the hearts of all who listened.
Once the prayer session concluded, a gentle stir began to ripple through the parish. People rose from their seats with reverence, their movements a symphony of quiet footsteps and rustling clothing.
Some made their way towards the exit, their expressions serene as they carried the essence of the service with them. Others lingered in corners, exchanging warm embraces and soft-spoken words, catching up on the happenings of their lives.
