The scribbles of the pen could be heard among the whispers. The noise of the turning pages were like loud rings in the ears. Everyone looked tense, especially the guy seated at the front. He was rubbing his temples with one hand while signing paper with the other. With one final sigh he announced,
"The negotiation with the chairman didn't work, we will have few clubs disbanded."
The room filled with pin drop silence. It was a low blow for everyone but the most frustrated one was the President himself. It wasn't just about clubs, many students link too much with their groups and disbanding it was somewhat parallel to breaking a bond and it felt terrible.
"President, I will take the disband forms and visit all the Clubs. So you can carry out other tasks." Jungkook said taking away the forms from President RM. If anyone who knew the weight of hard work, it was their president.
"That's big help, thank you!" President said and continued on with his duty. Jungkook left immediately to full fill his task, he was in the corridor when a young boy or rather his fellow committee member stopped him.
"Ah! Hi! again." The boy said with his heart smile.
"Hello." Jungkook replied standing in front of the staircase leading to the 7th floor.
"If you don't mind, can you please let me go to the Music Club?" The said boy clasped his hands and pleaded.
It was the only club left to inform, Jungkook was a diligent boy, he would see his duties till the end. But he gave the other boy the last form and received another one of those heart smiles.
"Ah! Thank you so much bunny boy!!" The boy dashed through the stairs to the 7th floor.
"Bunny boy?" Jungkook muttered under his breath.
. . .
He clenched the paper tight in his hand, and gulped down the lump that kept forming in his throat. His heart was banging loud in the ears when he reached for the door.
You can do this!
His brain supplied, but his heart would always betray him last second. V didn't know why but every time he saw the boy in front of the piano, his heart would feel full. He didn't know how to describe it but it would hit him like a strong wave on the shore.
It took everything in him to push open the door but it was just an empty room.
For a moment V was confused, he stepped inside and searched for him but there was no one --just the lonely piano. He stared at the keys for long that he almost forgot his reason to visit the club.
Did he already go back?
with defeated heart, V returned. He thought of just placing the paper on the piano but that would take his reason to visit the club. It was an opportunity he had been waiting for a year.
. . .
There were barely any students left on the school ground. V got his bag and stepped outside the school. He was still thinking of the Pianist when a voice broke his thoughts.
"V!! Finally! I started doubting that you already left."
"Jimin? Why are you still here?"
"What do you mean why? Didn't I tell you that I would wait for your club to end."
It was already past 6, if it weren't for V contemplating whether to enter the Music room or not, he would have arrived early and Jimin wouldn't have to wait too long. V felt a little bad but he quickly wrapped his arm around his shoulder as they both walked back home.
"Yeah lets go!"
. . .
It was the self study period in their class and V was taking care of a baby, yes a baby.
Jimin stayed up all night to write the letter for Jungkook. He was determined to give him but a mere glance of his face made him lose all his courage.
He's too cute, There's no way he's single!
V was having the day of his life, teasing his friend so openly was a bliss. After laughing till his heart content, V got up from his seat and dragged Jimin by his arm. They reached in front of their neighbor class. Jimin immediately spotted Jungkook, adorably jotting down his notes. His eyes were so clear and determined and once again, Jimin lost his strength in his legs. He was about to run away but V grabbed him while jiming fought back. Two kept tugging back and forth before loosing their balance. They almost fell and bumped into someone else. Two immediately straightened up and bowed to apologize but they only heard a laugh,
"Ah! Are you falling for me? Hahahaha" it was their Senior, the most popular and the most handsome guy of the entire school but he had terrible sense of humor. He laughed throughout the hallway, he was with with his friend and both went back to their route. V widened his eyes at the back of the Senior which was getting smaller by the second. It was him!
"Do you know who he is?" V unconsciously asked.
Jimin traced his gaze and saw the two seniors whom they bumped just seconds ago.
"Ah! you mean Senior Jin. Well everybody knows him, he's really famous for being handsome."
"No! the other one."
Jimin looked again to confirm but they had already turned left from the hallway.
"Sorry, I didn't see him."
They were still standing in the hallway when the bell for next class rang, they missed a golden opportunity that day.
After all the classes ended, Jimin begged V to take the letter with him to the student council room. And like before the only conversation he had with jungkook were greetings.
That guy is too shy to even talk to people, I don't know if he can handle a love letter, Jimin.
V sighed as he stared at the fidelity in his hand. But more than that he sighed at himself, he still had to take the form to the music club.
"Did you give Music Club the form?"
That was new. The bunny boy initiated the conversation. V ignored the work part, it was still something. Maybe he can give the letter after all.
"I'm going to deliver it right now!" V stood up from his seat and held the pages in his hand.
"Before that, I hope you accept this." V almost shoved the paper in his hand and fled form the place
"Wait--!"
Before Jungkook could say anything , V had sprinted away.
"Why are you returning me the form? " Jungkook muttered under his breath.
. . .
V was disappointed again on seeing the empty room, just as he was about to leave, he felt a ruffle in his hair.
"Don't tell me you come here to confess your love" It was the senior Jin again with his terrible jokes. V jolted and bowed,
"Sorry for bumping into to you earlier."
"Just don't fall for me again, hahaha" Jin laughed as he stepped inside the Music Room.
V raised his head and his hunch was right, He also came.
Just like a soulless doll, he sat again in front of the empty piano. That scene always stirred something inside him.
"Why don't you come inside?" Jin invited his junior inside the music room.
After gulping, he really did step inside. But this time it was different. The moment he crossed the door line, the overflowing sensation filled him up. He felt like he was drowning in the ocean of unshed tears. Each passing step was heavier than the previous, the beads of sweat were visible on his face. All of these emotions came from one place, the pianist.
The Music Room was so much more than just a club room and pianist was a core of it.
V felt terrible about giving him the piece of paper in his hand. But he was already in the lion's den.
Pianist finally looked at him when V placed the paper on the piano.
"I'm sorry for this!" V blurted out and ran out of the room.
He had finally delivered the letter!
