Tin Whistle (NAMJIN)

// 6 //

Seokjin

The chest appeared to be made of ancient wood which made me even more intrigued by it because that kind of wood sold for a lot of fortune years ago.

I kneeled down beside it, my pants now black from all the places I've gone to. I daintily put the key inside the lock and turned it, the lock clicked open. I was in pure shock for I didn't expect it would open.

I hastily opened it and I was even more astounded - if it was possible, when a tin whistle could be seen inside it. I gingerly took it and inspected it.

The tin whistle looked old and it was very dusty. I cleaned it properly with a damp towel and raced back to my room, the excitement blurring out the worry I had with every little noise I created.

I locked myself back in my room and attempted to play the tin whistle. The tunes were slightly off for I have never played this instrument before and I cringed at the unpleasant sound it made.

But it didn't stop me from playing with it. I quickly pulled out a book from my drawer on how to play simple tunes with wind instruments.

I was extremely grateful it did not take long for me to play a decent music with it and I silently thanked mother for encouraging me to play with wind instruments all this time.

I stood up as I began to play a tune. I couldn't contain my happiness anymore as I danced round and round my spacious room as I played. From the corner of my eyes, I thought I saw something moving but I chose to do ignore it.

However, the more I took no acknowledgement of it, the more it seemed to show its presence. I finally turned to see what it was and was really astonished when I saw them.

The china ornaments started to twirl, it's as if they were dancing along to the tunes I played. I abruptly stopped playing. But then I could clearly see they were no longer moving.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on me and the ornaments were as still as rocks. I was certain I'd witnessed them moving though.

Weirded out, I decided to call it a night and finally hit the sack. Worried that I was hallucinating since I have not been getting much sleep today. I placed the tin whistle somewhere nobody else except for me could see it.

After washing myself, I laid on the bed, eyes fluttering slowly until they gradually felt heavy and completely shut.

Next morning, Seokjin awoke with an amazing feeling. It was obvious that he had forgotten about what happened the day before. His door, now unlocked and everyone in the mansion treated Seokjin like nothing happened yesterday.

It only made him forget about it even more, it was not exactly a bad thing as Seokjin never liked being sad. He was just pumped up to play with the tin whistle again.

When Seokjin played with the tin whistle, he was in a state of euphoria, absolutely unaware that nobody was paying attention to the lovely tunes he played. Not that he cared, it's not like anyone ever shared happiness with him when he did something at the palace.

He became even more unconscious of the things around him as his hands flew over each holes of the instrument much faster this time.

Seokjin skipped along the garden, his brain entirely unmindful of where his feet were bringing him to. He was joyfully playing music with the instrument until the tune suddenly went off.
