the pianist

There it was again. The beautiful sound of a piano playing. But who played it? Who had the delicate smooth fingers that made the piano cry out the notes with such intensity?

Chan never got his questions answered. Whenever he was about to practice his violin, he'd hear a delicate piece just a few rooms away from him.

Chan would rush to the room but by the time he reached the piano room, no one was there. He always wondered who it was.

"Just camp out there. Pretend to be on your phone and wait for the person to enter and play the piano." Minho says as he taps a rhythm with his fingers.

"I don't want to be seen as a creepy stalker or anything." Chan says.

"Who's a creepy stalker?" Jisung asks as he sits down next to Minho, placing the lunch tray on the table.

"Chan." Minho says and continues his tapping.

"I'm not a creepy stalker! I just want to know who plays the piano in room 218." Chan clears up.

Jisung nods and takes a bite of his sandwich.

"Dude, you can check the login sheet." He says with a mouthful of food.

Chan raises an eyebrow at him.

"Oh that's right! The login sheet." Minho says pretending to know what the other was talking about, and steals one of Jisungs fries.

"What?" Chan asks.

"The piano is a common instrument so a lot of students play it. They have to sign up in order to get the room for themselves. And since there's a lot of students, they have to fill in a login sheet with their name, start and end time so others can check." Jisung clarifies.

"Do you know what piece they play?" Minho asks and continues to take Jisungs fries.

"Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement." Chan answers. He remembered looking the piece up when he first heard it.

Hearing the intensity of the music. The insane tempo one plays with their fingers. The hours of practice Chan can only imagine the person does to play the piece.

"But they stop halfway. It seems like they haven't gotten far in the piece." Chan adds.

"It is a difficult piece." Jisung says.

A difficult piece that the person can play so well.

After school, Chan went to the practice hallway. Hearing the faint music of different instruments playing.

He passes by the violin room and goes straight to the piano room. He sees no one there yet.

He looks to the right of the wall and see a clipboard hanging.

He quickly scans the board, checking the time. Checking who was in before he practices.

He found a time that somewhat lined up with his.

Start time 2:30. End time 3:30. Name: Seo Changbin.

"Seo Changbin?" Chan whispers.

"Oh hey Chan." The mentioned turns around and sees Felix along with Seungmin and Jeongin.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Chan asks.

"Just finished practice. You?" Seungmin asks.

"Oh just hanging around before practice." Chan answers trying to seem casual.

"You're finding that mystery person who plays the piano, huh?" Felix asks.

"Did you find out who?" Jeongin asks.
