baek jayeon pov

it's done, a smile prints on my face as the hundreds cheer. i hope the crowd is proud and filled with satisfaction. i will work even harder, until i am finished on the this planet.

i walk away slowly but a boy who seems to be out of words is staring at me, boo seungkwan? i have never expected him to be here. his mom is always forcing him to study for hours, who would've thought.

boo seungkwan is the school genius and everyone knows who he is, he his famous around the the new school i transferred to after my discharge.

my name is baek jayeon, i suffer from ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. it is a nerve disease and it attacks the nerve cells that control voluntary movement. sometimes i can't move my hands or feet so i have been in and out of a hospital since the fourth grade when i was diagnosed.

i have been fighting it, but i have been discharged from the hospital since a recent accident. the doctors prescribe me medicine and i have transferred to a new school and also been living with my grandma, my only close family left.

i am an only child, my aunts, uncles and cousins live on the other side of the world so it would be hard for me to just hop on a plane and see them.

i wont be here for long though, after that accident, the doctors told me that if i don't get surgery i'll only have such little time left. i have decided to leave this world because a person like me has no reason to live on anymore

i'll make these last few months here worth it, maybe i'll try to fall in love. i miss my parents and it's time to see them again soon, i'll even be able to get to play the piano for them up there.

tears fall from my eyes as i find my way back stage. my grandma embraces me in a hug ignoring my sorrowfulness. "you did great honey." my grandmas says leaving a mark on my heart.

it hurts to be leaving her soon, never knew that i would be leaving before my grandmother. she has been bugging me to the surgery but what is the point, all i have is the piano but even if i go, my name stays here.

"grandma lets go." i have no interest in winning these competitions, i just play them with my heart and feelings, i want to show the world what i have left to offer.

i walk from backstage to the front doors stepping out into the world of unfortunate events and colorless scores.
