79 – Long Day, Long Night (4)

Ding-

The sound of the keys ringing makes me think of so many things.

I bury my mind for a while in the sound that changes as I head to the right and left,

Finally, slowly closing my eyes, I pulled out a sheet music from my memory.

There were quite a few songs that harmonized piano and violin performances, and there was one song I especially liked.

Irene handled the violin much better than I thought.

Maybe if she had been born in the era I was in, she would have sounded like a great violinist.

A song that allows her to use her own technique, and also harmonizes with her accompaniment.

Saint-Saëns, Seoju and Rondo Capriccioso.

The playing time was not too long, about 9 minutes.

As far as Irene’s skills go… She’s a song that can be brought to life with just a little practice.

You could say it was a very romantic song.

Because it started with a lyrical and romantic prelude and contained the passion of Spain and the beauty of Italy.

If you can successfully complete this performance,

Wouldn’t that alone allow us to aim at the progress of our relationship one more time?

Erase thoughts. It’s been a while since I’ve played the piano, so I slowly loosened my hands and started pressing her keys.

This is an instrumental song that originally features a violin.

In the first place, it was a song made for violin and orchestra, so the piano was naturally buried.

By the way, can I just let that go?

I didn’t want her attention drawn to Irene.

Of course, as she said, I should stand on stage with her, but I guess… I’m jealous too.

The performance gets intense. An early lyrical prelude? Take it away.

Experience accumulated over ten years adds fortissimo to the modest Jeonju. Harder, harder.

Allegro ma non tropo, there was a note in the sheet music that said not to play too hard.

Perhaps the piano is so prominent that the violin is buried, but what does that matter?

I was fully aware of the risk that the song might be ruined.

However, there was a reason why I was able to be unique among so many pianists.

Because it is possible. Even if the song changed, I was able to save enough.

The mood of the song changes. Rondo, which contains the passionate atmosphere unique to Spain, is repeated.

This part… I didn’t feel like I needed to change anything.

The afterglow that swallowed up the presence of the violin in Jeonju will continue.

Then Capriccioso.

This was the part that I thought was the climax of the song.

A part that can be played fantastically with freedom and excitement.

At this point, I was thinking of eating the violin.

To the extent that no one can keep their eyes on the violin,

Irene might not like that, but what does it matter?

The song gradually started to become more upbeat. The elegance and romantic atmosphere of the first part was ultimately for this last part.

Calmly attracting people, so that they are swallowed up by the song at the end and completely immersed in the lingering sound.

If played well, it could be said to be a truly terrifying song. Like a swamp, it draws people in and completely engulfs them in the atmosphere.

…It was quite a flashy song to congratulate someone. However, celebration was not the only purpose.

I didn’t know if it would create a pretty good situation for using a hand mirror.

Isn’t a hand mirror an appropriate tool for arranging disheveled hair after playing the violin?

It was confirmed that Romanga was also attending this time, and as it was the crown prince’s birthday party, no halfway person would attend.

Ding-

As I tapped the last note of the sheet music, I quietly opened my mouth to the presence I felt in the distance.

“I know you are listening.”

If you’re going to hide, wouldn’t it be better to hide properly?

Carefully covering the piano keys with a lid, he spoke, and the door opened wide, with Irene’s face slightly peeking out through the gap.

“…Did you know everything?”

“I knew it from when I started playing the piano.”

“As an escort driver, I don’t like that kind of attitude. You may need to study manners a little more.”

With a calm attitude, Irene, who opened her eyes slightly coldly, replied. It was something that reminded me of the first time we met.

Didn’t he give me a book to study etiquette back then? The book is still stuck in a corner of the bookshelf.

As I smiled at that thought, Irene looked at me and opened her mouth with her eyes narrowed.

“By the way, is that the song we are going to play this time?”

“Isn’t it okay? Of course, the violin will be a little different.”

“…Well.”

Slightly worried, she came to my side and looked at the sheet music on the piano.

If you think about it, you might ask where you got these sheet music.

She I wonder if she is thinking on her own.

If someone later asked me where this song came from, I was going to say that I was an unknown bard.

I could have said I made it, but that’s a bit of an act of conscience.

“Not bad.”

She expressed her words that she liked her very much, and continued her words while slowly examining her sheet music.

“I think it will take a lot of practice.”

“That is enough.”

In the first place, I had no intention of making Irene stand out. She would be fine as long as the gap between her and me widened.

She may not know what she thinks, but she has no intention of conceding. As she examines her sheet music,

I got up from the long chair and took the violin I had put in the corner and handed it to Irene.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s been quite a while, isn’t it? I mean playing the violin.”

“It’s only been a few months. I don’t know if I can do it well.”

While saying that, Irene, who held the violin skillfully, eventually began to slowly pluck the strings of her violin.

And the moment the bow moved, I laughed at the melody ringing in my ears.

It seems like I just showed you the sheet music, but the way he plays a song by Saint-Saëns, albeit clumsily… Honestly, isn’t it a foul play?

The pure white hair flowed down to match the black dress.

Then I saw two slightly closed eyes holding a lifted, shiny violin.

The violin was an elegant instrument. Did she earn the title of ‘Queen of Musical Instruments’ for nothing?

A colorful and splendid melody emanating from its petite body,

The way he handles such an instrument well was a strong enough temptation to take away his gaze the moment he touched it.

And her outstanding playing skills and sense that she was born with.

It was never easy to play the sheet music as soon as you saw it.

No matter how docile and restrained the performer is, a person who hasn’t played for several months can play the song as soon as he sees the sheet music.

If I faced her as a pianist instead of her Evan Fried, wouldn’t I have been able to maintain a pretty good relationship with her.

However, it was all a useless delusion, so I quietly listened to her performance and started looking for things to fix.

There was a lot to fix, and this night was also long. So, it was understandable that Irene’s expression darkened as she glanced into my eyes.

GiGeek-

When the violin performance was cut off with a sharp sound, Irene cleared her throat and gave me a strange look.

As if he was afraid of what I would say next, his gaze at me slowly turned downward.

However, it can’t be helped. No matter how much she hates to stand out,

At least I’ll have to make sure she doesn’t get embarrassed.

“My lady.”

“There was a little…Mistake. That’s right, it’s something I’m aware of, so take it slow-“

“Lopena will do better than that.”

It was time to be a little stricter.

Performance was a work that was accompanied by physical fatigue rather than mental fatigue.

Even if you go round only 2 or 3 times, the body will be completely tired,

She was Irene with pretty good stamina, but after a few performances, she was completely exhausted.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Irene look disheveled like this.

Looking at her like that, she smiled lightly, and before long her face hardened at the thought I remembered.

…I think this is the first time I’ve seen something like that.

“Are you okay?”

Of course, I was worried at the same time.

Although she doesn’t suffer from her heavy workload like she used to, I still felt sorry for the fact that her cow made her do this as she performed her various duties as a master.

But Irene just shook her head instead of answering my words. Maybe I pushed her too hard.

After staring at the drooping figure for a long time, he sighed and slowly headed behind Irene.

The violin tended to put a lot of strain on her shoulders and neck. Because you have to use your shoulder and neck muscles to support the instrument.

Relaxing the muscles was a pretty important part for the performer,

That’s why I was always on the side of receiving care from a professional masseuse.

But there are no professional masseuses now.

“Excuse me for a second.”

It was a small movement, but a lot of thoughts were put into each movement.

Is it okay if I do this? Could it be that Irene is saying something?

And lastly, I thought maybe I couldn’t stand it.

My hands trembled dangerously in the air for a moment.

Irene’s hair fell down on her desk, exposing the white nape of her neck.

The soft little hairs sticking out from under her hair caught her eyes, and she let out an excited breath.

I was just trying to rub it. Because she doesn’t have to think strangely.

My heart was pounding as if I was really tired, and I didn’t show any reaction even though I came back.

At this point, she’d probably ask what she was doing, but when I said I’d excuse her, she just kept silent.

What does this mean? I thought a lot, but

I put my hand on the nape of her new white, thin neck, trying to erase her thoughts.

“Yes.”

All in all, Irene let out a small moan as soon as her hand touched her neck.

Her body trembled for the moment, but then she slowly opened her mouth to reassure Irene.

“Evan…?”

“It’s okay. I am just trying to free her neck.”

The nape of her neck, which was slightly stiff, began to slowly loosen up.

It meant that she believed in me, and it also meant that I could now have this level of contact with Irene.

It took four years to get here. Four years, she breathed in quietly, energizing her hand a little by the nape of her neck.

It was a very thin neck. When I covered it with my two hands, it completely covered my throat.

It was soft, and as soon as I touched it lightly, I slowly brushed the nape of my neck where the cervical vertebrae were touched.

“It tickles me…”

A weak voice came to my ears.

Honestly, I didn’t need to sweep it up… But wouldn’t it be more correct to think that it filled up a little selfishness.

Slowly clearing his mind, he lightly ran his fingers behind his ear.

And with your thumb, press down softly and without pain.

“Huh.”

I closed my eyes tightly at the moaning sound that burst out immediately.

Well, it seems that I have found the fruit of my patience here. All the senses in my body reacted sharply.

Time? Blocked. If I open my eyes here, I’ll lose even the slightest bit of patience I’m holding on to.

I fully focused on the sense of touch. Every time the tip of your finger passes, it trembles,

I lightly pressed the tip that rose at the end of the soft skin.

Irene’s shoulders shook for a moment when her fingers touched the reddish end of her body.

With her hand covering her mouth, Irene gasped, struggling to stop her leaking sound.

Of course, it was the cervical spine that I touched with my finger.

“You seem to have gathered a lot.”

Wouldn’t it have been better to do this right away? As I gently pressed the side of her neck, Irene clenched her fists as if in pain.

When I thought that her neck was good enough, I moved my hand and grabbed Irene’s shoulder.

Not painful enough, enough to loosen her muscles.

“Eh, Evan. Wait. Uhh, it hurts wait for a sec-“

Unlike before, Irene grabbed her shoulder and let out an excited breath.

The tips of her ears turned red, and Irene, who wiped her completely red face before long, looked at me with her narrow eyes.

I touched the nape of her neck that I had touched, and before long, I opened her mouth, wiping the sweat from her blushing cheeks.

“…Do you like it?”

“Yes?”

“I asked if I liked it because I was just doing my body like that.”

I felt as if I was at a loss for words at those words. I have to answer,

Because it feels like the eyes that have suddenly opened are piercing my heart. He just kept his mouth shut and stared blankly at her.

Seeing that her shoulders were exposed because of her slightly lowered dress, she let out a small smile and trimmed her dress.

“…Perverted.”

At that cold gaze, all I could do was smile bitterly.

-Huh…

The moment she heard that sound, Pena’s body stiffened as she headed towards Irene without much thought.

What did she hear now? Suddenly, the thoughts running through my head were cut off.

My lips parted slightly at the accident that turned white in an instant.

“My lady…?”

There must have been a lady beyond this door. And, she also knew that the lady’s escort was with her.

The moment she recalled the relationship between the lady she served and her escort driver, Lopena closed her mouth and opened her eyes wide.

‘Oh my God.’

-Eh, Evan. Wait a minute. Uhh, it hurts wait for a sec-

A panting voice mixed with strange breathing sounds, surely she is the voice of the lady he serves.

My cheeks were dyed red. If you hear a voice like that when you’re alone

Lofena was well aware that such things meant one thing.

And in this situation, it is never good to go into the room yourself.

He remembered the insensitive expression his young lady always had.

And imagine that such a young lady is collapsing and making that noise.

I couldn’t figure out how to treat the two of them.

It seems like just yesterday that we worried about only holding hands, but when did we become like that?

Slowly, as she leaned against the wall, Pena’s body slowly collapsed toward the floor.

What kind of face should I look at the lady from tomorrow?

Although her moaning soon stopped, Lopena couldn’t even dare to knock on her door.

She just sat there for a long time until the door opened.
