This would be a driving factor to give him points. Yet just looking at the piano in front of him he felt at ease, he had a slight smile on his face once he sat down in front of the piano.
At least 2 people could be seen with a smile on the judge's side, the biggest was from Kang Ji-Hyun, she just had big expectations of Daeho and she knew he played the piano.
The first time she heard his piano music she marveled, liked it and she was from the picky side, and for her, to like a piece of music it really had to have its greatness, so now watching him moving to the piano had excited her.
Meanwhile, Jennifer just smiled, she knew that he played piano, and thinking about the surprise he had told her, she too was expectant for this.
Daeho straightened his back and his fingers began pressing on the keys. Very orderly, and the melody coming out was slightly suffocating even for him who was playing.
Daeho cherry colored lips gently opened and his eyes transmitted a sense of melancholy, and sadness as if lost.
''At some point, I used to wish I would disappear from this world
The whole world seemed so dark and I cried every night
Will I feel better if I just disappeared?
I was so afraid of everyone's eyes on me.''
Just this little bit of the song and the judge side, the 5 of them began leaning forward, their behavior completely different, especially the slightly older woman on one side.
''During those beautifully beautiful days, I was in pain
I hated myself for not being able to receive love
My mom and my dad, they're only looking at me
It's not how I really feel but I keep getting farther away.
What do I do? (x4)''
Daeho was completely on his world and after the last ''What do I do'' he took a mouthful of air, it was starting to become harder to sing, emotions just threatening to burst out, more like the tears that he was trying to hold back.
This song was just that, emotional and everyone who listened to it would look back to their past.
''The saying time is medicine was really true for me
As the days went by, I really got better
But sometimes, when I'm too happy, I'm afraid I'll be in pain again
I'm afraid that someone will take away this happiness
Those beautifully beautiful memories were so painful
I was hurting and hurting but the pain wouldn't go away
My friends, all these people, they're only looking at me
This isn't how I really am but I keep getting farther away.''
It became too hard to even hold back it anymore and drops of water began dripping down the corners of his eyes. No one could understand what he felt, after all this wasn't just the sadness of the past Daeho but the combination of both, the one lost and the one who is feeling out of place. Maybe there were people who would see the change, but it wouldn't change anything, he wasn't the same. Nothing was the same and for the 20year old Daeho who came to this world, it just was at times painful, feeling out of place, dealing with his troubling teenage feelings at times.
And most of all having to lie to ''his'' mother now. It was painful. Yes, he was happy but the remorse of taking someone dear to the other Daeho was constantly in his mind. After all, he could be representing both but the Daeho soul that traveled to this parallel world was the 90%.
His voice began falling in quality in a sense because of him crying but it added emotion to it.
''But still, maybe I can be
A bright light in this world
Maybe after all of that pain
I can shortly shine a light
So I couldn't give up
I couldn't fall asleep peacefully for a single night
Because maybe if I keep trying to get up like this
I will find myself.
How painful must it have been?
How painful must it have been?
How high must my hopes have been?''
Although with difficulty Daeho had managed to finish the song and end the song he just buried himself in his arms on the piano keys.
No sound could be heard inside the room, you could see people with red eyes in the judges' section, they themselves just listening to the lyrics of the song and felt the raging and sincere emotions of Daeho's singing fell to their own internal drama.
This song had a charm to it, maybe it was a bad charm because of how melancholic people became and how it just made people travel back but it was without a doubt one music that would live. Daeho knew this because he had heard this music many times and although he didn't particularly sing it in his life he still knew just how the song hit people's hearts. Maybe Bolbalgan didn't exist in this parallel world for this song to be seen in the system.
But these thoughts at the moment weren't in his head, he was there crying with the familiar keys of the piano, not the same keys since the last time he cried had been on the worn keys of the piano he had at home. Cried rivers of tears because the person he treasured the most had been gone. Memories of his adoptive mother came surfing down. In a sense, the personality of his mother now was the same or accurately similar to his adoptive mother, but they looked completely different. And maybe that is the reason why he felt guilt and thought he was stealing from the previous Daeho.
But he didn't want her to disappear too, maybe the person he had grown attached to the most was his mother now because of the similarity, and maybe that had been the major part of why he was trying so hard to accomplish the dream he shared with the former Daeho.
After all, He had promised his adoptive mother on the other side at some point that he would become the top and achieve and build a legacy. Why he had promised this? Simply because his mother was a well known agent, that had faced many trials although she persisted and loved her job, her carrier came to an end because of a greedy star she had thought was innocent and because of the star mistake, the company had blown every blame on her. He remembered all this because this had happened because she missed a day because of a piano contest he had.
Because of that, he promised to become the very top and shout out that he had become the very best because of her.
Daeho lifted his face looking at the ceiling with regret. ' In the end, I died not to accomplish the promised. But I have a second chance.'
