I gently touched the piano keys with my fingertip, leaving my finger smudged in the dust. As soft as I could I pressed my finger to the keys. The piano let out a different sound than the songs Yoongi used to play. Today I heard that he had been expelled. Namjoon and Hoseok didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything because I was too scared to hear the answer.

Two weeks ago, before the teacher had come to the secret location, there was only me and Yoongi here. There was an open inspection that day, and I didn't want to stay in class, so I ran here. When I came in, he didn't even look back, just played the piano as I lay on the desks to take a nap. In theory, Yoongi and the piano exist as two separate things, but it was hard to see them apart. I don't know why, but hearing his playing made me want to cry. When I felt the tears would fall soon, I hastily turned onto my back. Just then, the door opened with an explosive bang. The piano stopped. I was slapped so hard I fell to the ground. I huddled onto the ground, listening to the barrage of angry words thrown at e, only for it to suddenly stop. I turned and saw that Yoongi had punched the teacher back, then sheltered me with his whole body. Past his shoulders, I could see the anger on that teachers face.

I pressed the piano keys again, trying to play a tune Yoongi used to play. Had he really been expelled? Will I ever see him again? He has said before that getting a beating was an everyday routine for him. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have hit that teacher.

If it wasn't for me, Yoongi would still be here playing the piano.
