Chapter 113 113. Pesky Disease

I was walking towards the sound not knowing why, Right now I just didn't want to think anything.

My idea of graduating early and helping my mother is now in a scramble. There is no way I can buy another book, So I will definitely fail the exam.

Now I just wanted something to distract me, And this sweet melody of music was looking like the best option for it.

So I just walked like a robot towards the sound, Which brought me to the secluded place of our college campus.

There is an old building, Which used to be a music department before they shifted to the other side of campus and the college didn't know what to do with this space. They were still deciding to make this building look abandoned for now.

"Who could be here at this time?"

I was standing in front of the entrance of the room hesitating to go inside.

After all, I saw lots of horror movies. The rule I made to survive is not to follow the strange sound, But I think I broke that rule by coming here.

Still, I had little critical thinking left and wanted to go back and try to search the book but a weird pull in my heart telling me to go in.

A strong feeling that there is something inside this building that was meant for me, This feeling was so strong and vivid that I for a while couldn't process it.

Finally, I couldn't resist the urge. A curiosity won against logic and I entered the building.

"*Cough* *Cough* Did no one clean this place? This is still college property."

As I entered this building, The old musty air inhaled by me made me cough hard. I am used to dirty places but it was still too much even for me.

I don't understand how can someone "abandon" a big place like this? In my neighbourhood at least 2-3 schools can be open with this much space.

This is a waste of space and the facility did nothing with this place, I mean at least they had to maintain it so as to prevent others from thinking it was an abandoned place.

"Is music coming from the 2nd floor?"

I ignored the mess downstairs and searched for the source of the music but I wasn't able to find anything, So I guessed it had to be coming from the upper floor.

The logical part of me just wanted to drop this idea and try to find my book, But I also know that there is a high chance I might not be able to find it.

So I went with my emotional feelings thinking, I slowly climbed the dusty stairs and reached the second floor.

To my surprise, this floor was very clean as if someone just cleaned it a few hours ago. This confused me, As the ground floor was that dirty and yet this floor was this clean.

"There seems to be no one here."

I only stuck out my head to look at the hallway of the 1st floor, I looked at the left side and then right, but Still, I couldn't find anyone.

After waiting for a few more seconds I finally gathered enough courage and came out of the space stairs and explored the 1st floor cautiously.

"Music coming from this room?"

I searched most of the room, Until I stopped in front of the room at the end of the corner, I carefully checked and confirmed that this music was coming from there.

*Beep* *Beep* 

My heart was beating fast as I was contemplating whether to open this door or not. A single drop of sweat slid down from my forehead as my trembling hand held the door handle with a lot of internal struggle.

There was an unknown unexpected surge of anxiety that filled my heart. I don't know why I was so nervous but my body was shaking slightly as my throat became dry.

"*Phew* What is wrong with me? I want to see who is playing this piano beautifully."

I gathered enough courage and prepared myself, Reminding myself that I just wanted to see the one who was playing the piano.

As for why I wanted that? I had no idea. It's just that this music played when I needed it most to distract myself, So I just came here.

So I didn't hesitate and opened the door.

*Creak* 

As I did that, To my regret the sharp rusty hinges sound of the door opening interrupted the beautiful melody that was being played inside the room.

"That.- I am so sorry I didn't know it will make this much-"

I was startled when this loud sound interrupted the music, I felt very bad for destroying the beauty of that melody.

Hearing the music stops, I was afraid and quickly started apologising. It just hit me how many powerful people's kids were studying in this college.

Now if another party will be angry, I will be fucked up, No wonder I was feeling that nervous, My instincts were trying to prevent me from doing something stupid which I just did.

But as I was apologising, My eyes landed on the figure seating behind the large black piano, and then I couldn't take my eyes off him.

The words I wanted to say were swallowed back by me as I lost seeing him.

I saw a young figure seated on the chair calmly.

His white clothes are whiter than snow, not stained with specks of dust with a clear and flawless face, long eyebrows like willows, and a body like a jade tree, all of which exude nobility and elegance.

At this time, He was on the chair in front of a piano with closed eyes, His fingers were still hovering over the black and white keys, Then he slowly opened his eyes.

There was a trace of confusion in the dark and deep eyes as he looked straight at me.

*Thump* 

Cupid released his arrow, Which directly penetrated my heart. For a second I even forgot to breathe as I lost looking at him.

He was sitting there like some higher noble as his sharp dark eyes were staring at me. His aura was also quite overwhelming to me.

I felt nervous to even stand in front of him and yet I couldn't stop looking at him.

I knew I had fallen, There is no doubt, I also got infected with that pesky disease called love.

"Who are you?"

That man looked at me with only confusion without any anger at me for disturbing his art.

*Thump* Thump* 

Deers were running through my heart as he asked that question. I was afraid that my heart might break free from my chest and come out if this goes on.

I wanted to answer him but no words come out, This feeling was frustrating and annoying but I couldn't do anything other than make a joke of myself in front of him 

"Hello? Are you deaf or what?"

That man asked me again. This time he was a little more annoyed and angry as he frowned and asked me again.

But I didn't know what he said at all. All my attention was on his face, Especially when he frowned at his sword-like eyebrows that pretty much rouch each other making him look super cute.

"Do you want to stay here while I practise?"

I was just staring at him without blinking at all, Everything else was meaningless in my eyes now.

But what he said quickly caught my attention. He asked me if I wanted to stay here in this secluded place alone with him.

I wouldn't know how to answer it. It was happening all too fast, I wasn't able to process anything right now, All my thoughts were on him.

I know this is weird, This is stupid and it was too quick but I felt like I could do anything for this boy in front of me.

It's just that I am not confident enough to reply to him as I wanted.

"C-c-can I?"

There I said it, I had to use all my willpower but I was finally able to utter these words to him.

But now I said it I became worried, 'What I just did? It was inappropriate to stay alone in the room with a lone man. What was I thinking about saying something like this?'

I started to become more and more anxious. This man in front of me was somehow able to have this much effect on me and I don't even know his name.

"So you are not deaf, Good for you, You can stay here if you want, I mean I am not forcing you or anything but after that, you have to clean the ground floor, Do we have a deal?"

'Wait!? Did he just agree?'

I was waiting to get rejected by him but to my surprise, He agreed.

Though he asked me to clean the ground floor it was a little price to pay for being able to see him for awhile 

"Okay, It's a deal."

So I agreed eagerly, This is all I can ask for, Maybe this composition of my fate for giving me all that crap.

When I said that, This man who stole my heart just walked casually and looked at the piano keys before his slender long finger started dancing on it swiftly like a dragonfly on the water.

"Thing ding thig tan"

A sweet melody once again resumed as I sat in the corner making myself lose this feeling to forget my problem for a while.

(A/N : After this arc, I will focus on Nathan totally. What do you guys think of that?

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ????.)
