《The Pianist || MYG || ✔》9
Advertisement
Yoongi sat through Hoseoks lecture again, but this time he decided he was going to pay attention.
He could see Daisy a few rows back from the front. She was by herself, and was furiously taking notes on absolutely everything Hoseok said. Either that, or she was immersed in writing something else.
She seemed tired to Yoongi, as if she hadn't slept for a while, but he knew how that felt.
As he watched her, he could see that she was the complete opposite of a lot of the girls in the lecture hall. She was wearing a plain t-shirt, and her black hair was pulled back into a rough pony tail, with a few strands lose around her face. She kept flicking the hair out of her eyes irritably, and it made him wonder why she wasn't more careful when she tied it back.
She had tanned skin, that he was sure would be glowing beautifully if she didn't look so stressed. Her fingers were long and elegant, but she herself was clearly very clumsy and and not elegant at all.
She was the complete opposite of his love. Isabella had grace, and charm. She cared about her appearance, even though she looked beautiful no matter what; but she made an effort in everything she did. Most importantly, she had passion.
Daisy looked like she was beginning to lack the will to live. He could relate to her, on that aspect.
Once Hoseoks lecture was over, she got up and headed to her music room, and Yoongi moved towards his friend, who was packing up his bag.
"Hoseok, I don't think I can do it," He said honestly, "She doesn't want to play,"
His friend sighed, "Yoongi, you can do it," He insisted, "I know you can,"

Hoseok continued to shove things into his bag, before throwing it over his shoulder and grabbing his coat. Yoongi frowned.
"Leaving?"
"I have to be somewhere," His friend said, rooting around in his coat pocket for his car keys, "Depending on how it goes, I'll pick you up from work and we can go for dinner. It is Friday, after all,"
"Where are you going? You're just going to leave me with her?"
"I'm going... Somewhere," Hoseok said, patting Yoongis shoulder, "I'll let you know later. Bye, Yoongz,"
Yoongi sighed and watched Hoseok leave the hall, before he picked up his own jacket and headed up towards the exit. However, as he passed the row where Daisy had been sitting, he saw something laying on the floor under her seat. He picked his way through the chairs and and bent at the waist, reaching under for it.
He hummed when he saw it was a sketchbook with Daisys name on the front. He opened the front page and realised that Daisy was not taking notes. She was drawing. Yoongi was surprised at how beautifully she drew, and how precise each stroke of the pen or pencil was. It was a lot like her playing, with how perfect it was, but it had something that her playing did not.
Passion.
Yoongi had discovered her passion.
He flicked through the pages with his eyebrows raised in shock, and stopped when he came to a familiar face.
"Huh," He muttered, staring at the lovingly crafted image, "Who would have thought?"
He shut the sketchbook and headed back out of the row and towards the music rooms.
Daisy didn't even turn around as Yoongi entered the room; she just continued to play, somewhat lifelessly. She was playing a piece that Yoongi was very familiar with, and that held a lot of memories for him. It was what he had played on stage the night he had met his love.

"Debussy," He said, and Daisy grunted a little as the tempo increased.
"This is a very passionate piece for someone who doesn't want to play," He pointed out.
"Who said I don't want to play?" Daisy snapped back, "If I didn't want to, I wouldn't,"
Yoongi was silent as he watched her fingers move over the keys. They weren't dancing, they were like zombies; they could move but they were stiff and unfeeling. She was once again slouched over the piano, and it made his eye twitch with irritation.
"Stop," He said, unable to watch her play any longer, "Stop, Daisy, take your hands off the keys,"
Daisy made a frustrated sound and swiveled around on the stool, "What now?"
"I can't listen to you destroy that piece any longer," Yoongi grunted, "It's painful to hear and watch,"
"I play it exactly how it's supposed to be played!" Daisy cried, "What is wrong with you people?!"
"You dont," Yoongi replied, annoyed, "You play it like a lifeless, cold zombie, and you ruin each and every piece you play with your lack of passion,"
Daisy got to her feet angrily, and Yoongi met her head on, equally angry.
"Why do you play, Daisy?!" He asked loudly, "Why do you touch the keys?!"
"Because I'm a pianist!" She growled back, her eyebrows low over her deep brown eyes in a frown.
"You're not a pianist," Yoongi snapped, "You are just able to play. Why do you play?"
Daisy turned her back on him and he reached out, grabbing her wrist and turning her back to face him again.
"Why do you play?!" He repeated, trying not to yell in her face.
Daisy yanked her arm free of Yoongis grip, "Because my Dad makes me!" She screamed at him, "He won't let me quit!"
Both of them stared at each other in shock for a moment, before Daisy took a step backwards.
She turned and grabbed her bag, throwing the door open and running out as fast as her legs could carry her.
Yoongi was still standing in shock when he realised that he still had her sketch book in his hand. He sighed, his eyes fixated on the piano keys in front of him. He felt a sudden sadness in his heart. Nobody should be forced to do something they hated, especially if it was an instrument. How would someone ever appreciate music, if they despised creating it?
It hurt his heart to hear that Daisy didn't want to play because she was forced into it.
He had already lost the love of his life, and the ability to play. If he wasn't able to listen to music, he would have nothing. Music was all he knew, and the only thing that brought him any resemblance of pleasure anymore.
It was at that moment, that he decided that he had to help this poor girl. Because if he didn't her life would be devoid of music, and that was something that he did not want to happen for her.

AN: The piece that Daisy was playing is in the video at the top :) I'll start putting the relevant music in the top for you to listen to while you read :)
And the picture that Yoongi was looking at that she drew... is this one: (sorry for the bad quality i just took a picture and posted it)

Accompany the adventure of Garrod Seafair as he travels the galaxy and makes his way through all the mess the Jedi caused over the course of the years! -------------------------------------------------- This is a just for fun project that I'm doing to pass some time, I was inspired to do it after reading a really good fanfiction that someone started to write in another platform, I basically used his same idea of initial settings, that being the Jedi temple, and I used part of his System but with some modifications. Read his fanfiction as well if you can, its name is "Force user supplementary system", he published it in webnovel.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

Isekai trash story
You know why you clicked on a story with this title #anime is trash and so am I The main character dies of a heart attack and awakens in another world, alone and in a cave with the body of a newborn baby. However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
