Episode 12. gift for gift

“Today, I will present a piano piece to Helen, who is more attractive than any other lady.”

“Jiiiiiin…” … .”

Helen could no longer speak.

Enjoying your ears after a delicious meal is an old romance of the nobility.

Today I plan to open up all my knowledge and abilities for Helen.

We have already spoken to the restaurant.

I naturally got up from my seat.

Helen’s eyes were incredibly bright.

I am grateful to my mother who gave me the stepping stone to create this event.

My mother, a pianist, always believed that men should be able to play at least one instrument.

My talent also played a role.

He was born with absolute pitch.

This was combined with exceptionally outstanding intellect and added effort.

It was when my father was working in Russia.

There was even a time when a music professor at Moscow State University said he wanted to provide me with a full, free scholarship.

I felt Chopin’s coldness, Beethoven’s passion, and Mozart’s romance in me.

They even praised him as being as dreamy and lyrical as Tchaikovsky.

That guy did a good job of appealing to me about something I didn’t even know.

When I looked at the score, I felt a desire to create.

I just expressed what I felt.

But my mother refused.

I explained that the reason was that it did not suit my personality.

I followed my mother’s opinion.

It was especially difficult to make a living as a creator in the classical music world.

Only by following in the footsteps of heroes can you achieve a decent reputation.

I sat down on the piano chair.

Just by looking at it, it is a fairly high-end grand piano.

The wider the space, the more powerful the sound will be.

“I dedicate this song to the woman who stole my heart.”

He spoke in a quiet voice into the microphone.

It is a classy place.

Many men and women in suits looked at me.

Expectation and discomfort coexisted.

The same thing happened when I entered the restaurant. They told me I needed to prove my skills, so I took a video with my smartphone and sent it to them.

It was a video filmed in the school music room.

After confirmation, I said OK without a second thought.

Go!

I took a deep breath and used the Natural Free Five Elements Divine Technique.

Ding~♪

A clear and beautiful sound rang out.

The sound was different.

My energy was conveyed in sound waves.

and… … .

My music has begun.

Ta-dang~ Ta-da ting ting~♬

Fingers danced cheerfully on the keys.

It is one of a collection of New Age style piano pieces that I composed in the past.

Exactly 7 minutes and 30 seconds long.

The title is First Romance.

The background is as cold as Chopin’s Winter Lake.

I painted the morning of a lonely person.

The morning of someone who no one visits is always quiet and desolate.

A clear and lonely sound wave spread.

The skill of delicately crossing the vocal range is a bonus.

The fingers moving busily across the keyboard and the rhythmic gestures are disciplined and regular.

“ah!”

“oh!!!”

Low groans erupted from all directions.

A heart-wrenching feeling of loneliness rose up and overtook them.

Because you have added inner strength, you will feel the emotional whirlpool several times deeper.

It is the supernormal ability of the Natural Free Five Elements Divine Gong.

Human joys and sorrows also flowed within the laws of nature.

“… … .”

Everyone in the restaurant paid attention to me.

I could feel their eyes on me even while I was playing.

But my eyes were already drawn to Helen, who was filled with emotion.

First love is an illusion.

I met her on the side of the road on a cool, windy day.

Love at first sight.

My heart beat like it had never been before.

At that time, my eyes were only looking at her out of surprise and admiration.

The piano melody expressed surprise and trembling emotions.

Tiding, tiding, tiding~♪

There was an inflection.

The heart of a young man who began his first love was portrayed as is.

It was cheerful, soft, and strong.

At the same time, I was careful that my first love, her, might get scared and run away.

Follow me, tiding, tiding, tiding~♬

Yeon-joo goes back to the moment when he promised to go on a date with her.

A light piano sound that seemed to fly through the sky took over the space.

Smiles began to spread on people’s faces.

The eyes became hazy and wet.

Everyone will be feeling the excitement of first love again, which they have all felt at least once.

It seems that emotions that were once just imagination have been properly conveyed.

I imagine that first love will have this rhythm.

This is the amazing power of music.

Inner strength was added there.

“ha… … .”

“ah… … .”

Eventually, astonishment erupted from all directions.

I was already the main character of this space.

Follow along, follow along, follow along, follow along~♪♬

This led to the beginning of passionate love.

A time when hot young men and women meet and set everything on fire.

The intense piano melody was pushed to its limit.

I burned all my passion generously.

My fingers swept across the piano keys like a storm.

“!!!”

Judging from the movements of his body, his hands seemed to have a lot of strength.

A feeling of unbearable heat must have risen up to my throat.

A space of love created by my extreme imagination.

People reached the point of melting due to the passion of love that was hotter than anger.

Of course, the same goes for Helen.

He just looked at me with his hands clasped.

Ting~ Ting~♩

And the last introduction.

The melody depicting a couple holding hands and walking down a dark street swept through every corner of the restaurant.

Gently, carefully, warmer than any other warmth in the world.

It’s a love I haven’t tasted yet, but imagination makes everything possible.

Ding… … ♪

The long song of 7 minutes and 30 seconds ended.

“… … .”

There was no sound.

Absolute silence filled the space.

Stillness, silence, and emotional energy were immersed in silence.

All of their emotions seemed to be floating naked in the still space.

Sigh.

I got up from my seat.

Now all work is done.

I walked towards Helen, who had a blank expression on her face.

That moment.

“Waaaaaaaaaa!”

Suddenly, everyone at the table stood up at once.

There was a shout.

Clap clap clap clap clap.

A loud applause broke the silence.

People expressed their emotions as if they had heard a great musician play.

“Wheeeeee~! “Wheeeeeeeeek!”

“bravo! Very very excellent!”

“Amazing Fantastic!!!”

“Encore! Encore!”

It was a more intense reaction than expected.

People dining at the restaurant all gave a standing ovation, shouting and whistling for an encore.

People went wild, forgetting about dignity and respect.

And my Helen!

He stared at me with an expression that said he couldn’t be more ecstatic.

“Do you like the gift?”

He smiled lightly.

Helen’s eyes sparkle like stars.

“I’m touched… … . and… … .”

Helen got up and came over.

“A gift for a gift.”

Helen suddenly hugs me.

Her red lips are just like that… … .

Huh!!!

I now know why they call hot women’s lips sweet.

The first kiss of my life!

I just melted.

She was a woman who lived with hotter lava than I had imagined.

Even my soul burned brightly.

My hand automatically wrapped gently around Helen’s back.
