Piano

Piano - English

Jaehwan never stopped playing the melody. A melody that was very attached to his memory, a melody that became the accompaniment of the mother's death that night.

Jaehwan still remembers how the man played the melody, right after the man stabbed his mother and let her die on the cold floor. Clinking for clinking, hypnotized Jaehwan until he couldn't even blink.

Jaehwan wants to know who that guy is. He wants to find the killer.

And the only way to find him is to play the same melody.

For years Jaehwan played the melody, wherever he found the piano he would play the melody. The Melody of the Revocation of Life, that's the name Jaehwan gives every time someone asks what song he plays.

Until one day, a man approached him when Jaehwan was playing the melody at the music shop where he worked. "Who are you?" he asked Jaehwan.

"Me? I'm just a street pianist," Jaehwan answered.

"Then where did you learn the melody?"

"From the person who killed my mother years ago."

The man fell silent, he then turned and would leave when Jaehwan said, "Finally I found you."

The man was shocked, he turned and looked at Jaehwan who was also staring at him. Jaehwan left, he stepped slowly toward the man. "I recognize your back, sir," Jaehwan said, "you killed my mother."

"That has passed twenty years ago, what did you expect? Put me in jail?"

Jaehwan sighed, he smiled and replied, "I just want to say thank you because you killed my mother. Thanks to you, I was free from her torment." Jaehwan bowed, he said, "Thank you."

The man fell silent, he then smiled and answered, "Glad to help you."
