Seventeen Imagines III

#21 "Do Remi"

Whenever I sat in front of the piano, I always remembered that girl who named "Do Remi"; her cute face, her gentle laugh and her shining eyes are vivid on my memories. When I visioned her once, three words came from my lips, "I miss you."

5 years ago, Dino, Vernon and I used to hang out at a certain convenience store after our classes. There, we've met a girl standing behind the counter. She's 3 years older than us so we called her "Nuna" (older sis).

"So how was your school today?" She asked while scanning the bar codes of our ice creams.

"Very tiring, nuna" Dino was always the first one to complain. Next was me.

"Math hates me a lot," I sighed.

"My snack was strawberry pie," Vernon answered differently.

Remi nuna showed her empathy by soothing my back. Maybe she found me easy to approach because I was the talkative one among our group. "Awww, cheer up guys. Here, ice creams will help." She gave us our ice creams and the three of us combined our extra allowances to pay them.

"Thank you nuna," Dino said.

"Sure sure," nuna chuckled.

It wasn't exaggerated if I'll say that Remi nuna was our strength giver. If one of us had problems because of school activities, our childish quarrel or small matters from our households, nuna was always there to listen and to give advice.

One time, I had a fight with my sister just because I forgot to wash our dishes before going to school. I'd cry a lot and even think of running away from home. Before I stupidly do, I went to the convenience store and had a talk with Remi nuna.

"I hate her so much," I shared.

"I see," nuna nodded her head. "Seungkwan."

"Hmmm?"

"Do you know the first basic tune in piano?"

That time, I wondered why she suddenly talked about piano. Still, I answered, "Doremi?"

"Just like my name, right?" She laughed and soon I also did.

"Do Remi," I repeated.

"Among you guys, I could see that you are the most emotional one. Vernon tends to think freely while Dino forgot everything after he let it all out."

I remained silent as I listened.

"So, if you feel really stressed out, why don't you think of my name?"
