The corner of my memory

A brown piano settled on one side

In the corner of my childhood house

A brown piano settled on one side

The piano I remember in my childhood.

When I went back to check on my childhood house that's in Daegu, I couldn't find it. It's gone.

It was there, where did it go?

I remember that moment

Way taller than my height

The young me let my tiny fingers run on the piano, listening to the beautiful melody it creates.

I feel so nice, mom, I feel so nice.

After that, I became addicted to the melody it makes.

I became addicted to the feeling of euphoria whenever I play the piano.

I didn't know it would be the last

You say, don't leave like this

Do you remember the days we used to spent together?

You said, you would be with me forever.

But now, where are you?

I will get to meet you again

No matter what form

Greet me happily then

This dark road, deserted and cold.

I walked on the road, confused.

This place seemed oddly familiar to me.

I saw an instrument shop with a brown piano in the middle.

The piano feels familiar, but it wasn't my piano.

I remember back then when I met you that

I had completely forgotten, when I was around 14

The awkwardness was only for a moment, I touched you again

Even though I was gone for a lone time

Without repulsion

You accepted me

Without you there's nothing

After the dawn, two of us

We welcomed the morning together

Don't let go of my hand forever, I won't let go of you again either

I picked up a stone from the floor and threw it at the glass door, activating the alarm.

I sat down in front of the familiar piano, and started playing a random melody.
