《The Pianist || MYG || ✔》40

"I want to play Hungarian Dance No. 5," Daisy said, with confidence.
"Brahms?" Yoongi said, his eyebrows raising in surprise, "That is not an easy piece, Daisy. The tempo for one is difficult to keep consistent unless you're very in sync with your partner. If I were to describe it, it's like... Organised chaos,"
Daisy smiled, "Exactly. That's what we are- were. To me, the song gives me the impression of being trapped, running and running and not able to find an exit. It gets my blood pumping, and makes me feel..." She paused, "Alive. It makes me feel alive,"
Yoongi sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "Well if that's the piece you want to play, I guess we should look into the arrangements and decide who's playing what,"
Daisy smiled and he nodded, "Alright. And what piece do you want to play?"
As if she had lost of her new found confidence, Daisy paused.
"Fur Elise?" Yoongi asked, "I think you're ready to play it-"
"No," She interrupted him, "I don't want to play a classical piece. I know I'm supposed to, but I want to play something else; something that means something to me,"
Yoongi pursed his lips, "You know that the concert is a competition, right? And it had stop musicians and headmasters of music schools around the world attending? To a lot of people, the one chance they get to perform is their only chance to have their dreams come true?"
Daisy nodded, and Yoongi continued.
"Every single performer will be playing a classical piece from one of the famous names in musical history; like Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky. In fact, the scouts will expect it. And you want to play a more modern piece?"

With a sigh, Daisy nodded. However, she looked determined.
Yoongi grinned, "Then do it. Music is timeless, and if the piece has enough story to make the listener feel the intended emotion, then why can't you play whatever you want? Show them that the piano is a versatile instrument, and all it needs is a talented person to sit and play,"
Daisy smiled, getting to her feet. Yoongi was sure she had spent a lot of time carefully thinking about what song she was going to play, so he decided to trust her. She had just proved that she was more than capable of playing to a high standard, and he fully believed that even if she wasn't playing a classical piece, she had just as much chance of securing herself a high position in the competition.
Besides, even if she didn't she was opening with a classical piece anyway, and they would be sure to see her talent then.
"Maybe I'll close with a more modern piece as well," Yoongi mused, "What have you chosen to play?"
"Spring Day, by Jimin," She said, a flush on her cheeks, "I know that everyone might think that it's because I'm his fan, but the lyrics to me are really meaningful, and I thought that maybe I could dedicate it to my mother,"
Yoongi smiled softly, "Yeah, that songs perfect. You know what, I think that maybe we should leave it here today. You go home and start practising Spring Day, and I'll go and start arranging Hungarian Dance,"
Daisy nodded and gathered her things, quickly wishing him a farewell and rushing out of the room.
Yoongi sat down on the stool with a sigh. He would have to try and listen to the song to get used to it before she played it for him. She obviously wasn't to know the true meaning behind that particular piece, and he didn't blame her for that, but the song always made him cry.

Jimin had composed the song completely by himself. He refused any input from anybody; his producers or co-writers. Even the CEO of his company suggested some changes, but Jimin refused. They wanted him to write about missing an old girlfriend, or longing for love, but he would not change anything.
The song was a hit, of course, but it wasn't like his usual songs.
He had written the song about Isabella. Once she passed, he had locked himself up for days, just as Yoongi did, but he was being productive.
Yoongi hadn't realised at the time that it wasn't just him who was suffering from the loss of Isabella. All his friends were in pain as well; they loved her too. Jimin had decided to turn his pain into music, just as Yoongi had taught him to when he had first started out.
When Hoseok first played him the song, Yoongi had broken down. It was so beautiful, so painful and so raw and honest. Jimin had exposed his feelings to everybody by singing this song, and in doing so, he had gracefully let go of his pain and let go of Isabella.
With a sigh, he pulled out his phone and started a call to his friend.
"Hey, Hyung! What's up?" Jimin answered on the second ring, and Yoongi had to laugh. He was probably playing games on his break.
"Are you keeping your promise to come and watch Daisy at the concert?" He asked, "Make sure you don't have any schedule on that day,"
"Of course, Hyung, get me a ticket would you? I'll let the manager know. How's it going with her?"
"Really well, actually," Yoongi replied, pressing a single finger down on the keys of the piano in front of him, "We're going to do the opening performance together. As a duet,"
"Really? You've never performed with anybody before!"
Yoongi smiled, "I know. I promised to do my first performance with Izzy, but..." He trailed off, clearing his throat, "I think doing it with Daisy is a good idea. Hey, do you know she's chosen her piece for the competition? She told me just now,"
"Can I know what it is, or is it a surprise?"
"She wants to play Spring Day,"
There was silence on the end of the line, and finally he spoke, "Is that okay?"
"Yeah," Yoongi smiled, "I think she'll do it justice,"
"Then good," Jimin replied, "I can't wait to hear her interpretation of such an important song,"
"I'll see you there, then?"
"Yeah, Hyung. I'll see you there,"

Digital Haven
The modern world fell into a deep depression, and few options remained for the suffering lower class. The global economy crumbled under a growing energy crisis and overpopulation led to the creation of a virtual frontier known as Teurilia, the first full immersion virtual reality. Teurilia introduced a world of adventure and exploration leaning on human nature for greed and power. The world, built to be a realistic role-playing game offered players nearly unlimited freedom and became wildly popular around the world within weeks of its initial release. Originally intended to be a temporary relief from the real world, the world’s governments soon realized the potential of virtual existence with the release of technology to permanently transfer consciousness from physical bodies into virtual ones. Supported by economists of the world and political power from the United Nations, Teurilia received limitless funding to support the migration of millions of new citizens.

A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant?

My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel

Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard
Edward was reincarnated into the world of Harry Potter, an act which excites him giving the fact that this was one of his favorite books. So, he embarks on the path of wizardry in the hope of discovering the way it works, the laws or theories that govern it; he wanted to find its essence. He tries to find the answer to questions like What is the soul. Why can wizards use magic, while muggles cannot? Do bloodlines truly exist? And if so, what use is it to wizards? Could it be the reason that some wizards are born with exceptional talents like Parselmouth or Metamorphmagus? When Edward finally uncovers the answers to these questions he pondered on, he suddenly thought to himself: "Since the world of Harry Potter is real, what about all the other anime, movies, games, and books that I read from my past life? And if they are indeed real, how I can I get there?" This story is an Infinite Stream novel where the mc travels through different anime and movie worlds acquiring various magical abilities and knowledge to become a supreme wizard that stands on the top of countless dimensions and universes. Warnings: The MC will spend a great deal of time in the Harry Potter World before going to other worlds.I have not decided whether the [Curse Child] is canon or not. I do not care what JK Rowling said. This is a pseudo-science explanation of magic, so take it with a grain of salt. I am an amateur writer with not-so-good grammar, so any constructive criticism is appreciated. This is a wish-fulfillment and Gary Stu-type novel so read at your convenience. If this is not your kind of thing, then move along and do not complain about it later. Although this fanfic will be a Harem, the mc will not have a thousand women. Most likely, I will write so that he has a certain relationship with some female characters, then he will leave her in her own universe. Only a few will follow him in his journey. Also, a few men will be in his group. THIS IS NOT A YAOI. Disclaimer: All the characters--except the one created by me--belong to JK Rowling.
