I felt the weight of overwhelming emotions pressing down on me. The keys under my fingertips seemed heavier, each note carrying a burden of its own. With each melancholic melody that flowed from my hands, the room filled not just with music but with a sense of sorrow and longing. The sound echoed around me, wrapping me in a cocoon of emotions that were hard to bear. Despite the heaviness, I continued to play, letting the music be a channel for all the overwhelming feelings within me. In that moment, the piano became my refuge, a place where I could pour out all the sadness and find solace in the haunting tunes I played.

"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"

As the final notes of the song gently fade away, a bittersweet ache settled in my chest. The haunting melody lingered in the backyard, wrapping me in a cocoon of melancholy. Each note felt like a tear slowly falling, carrying with it a wave of emotions that I couldn't quite put into words. The music speaks to a part of my soul that resonates with longing and heartache, creating a moment of deep introspection and reflection.

The sounds of clapping and cheers made me come back to my senses as I opened my eyes. A tear dropped down to my lap, that's when I noticed I was crying. My shaky hand made its way to my cheeks where I felt the wetness of my tears. My eyes were blurry, warm tears rolling down my cheeks continuously which I hadn't noticed before. I became a crying mess. I wiped my tears but it wasn't stopping. Looking at the other side I took a deep breath calming myself.

Wiping my tears for the last time, I looked towards the crowd, I got up as the couple approached me.

"OMG Wow y/n, your voice is still so enchanting" Jung suk said with joy clearly seen on his face.

"Your voice is like a dream, and when you sang the song, it felt like magic. Your talent is truly mesmerizing, and you brought so much emotion to the song. Today it felt like you're putting your each and every emotion into it. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift with us. Thank you so much y/n" IU said with moistened eyes not letting Jung suk say any further.

I nodded gulping. I looked at Taehyung and found him already looking at me. I blinked continuously not wanting to cry anymore.

It didn't last long when I glanced behind Taehyung. My eyes widened and lips parted in utter shock. My heart beat fast and breath heavy. I was horrified.
