THE VIOLINIST AND HIS PIANIST. / KTH

twenty five

they wouldn't let me

visit him in the hospital.

for the first time,

i yelled at mrs. lim,

but she said

i couldn't do anything

about it.

she told me my piece

in the recital was crucial. 

my turn would

be coming up

any second now.

as i listened to the

beautiful music

and as the audience

cheered and howled,

i couldn't help but feel

torment and anguish.

i was not in the mood

to be playing

such a wonderful song

without my partner.

i had asked to quit,

but mrs. lim

declined this request,

telling me to play

my part,

even though

my duet partner

wasn't there.

i wonder how the violinist

is doing.

taehyung,

are you okay?

i missed him

being here

with me.
