Love?

Jun's Pov

I heard a soulful melody coming from a room of a wealthy family's house. The music was so soothing and heartwarming that it compelled me to follow the direction of the music.

I changed myself into a cold breeze of winter and went inside the room from the open window.

The young man in front of me was playing the guitar without a pick, his eyes were closed

Suddenly the soulful melody changed into rimless music. The young boy in front of me had cut his hand while playing the strings and was bleeding too. He still had closed his eyes and from his expression, it was clear that he was lost in a fight between heart and brain. He was so lost, that he didn't realise that his fingers were bleeding as he continuously played the guitar.

When a droplet of blood dripped on his bare feet, He immediately opened his eyes.

"Oh my... " He quaked as soon as he saw the blood-stained fingers

You need to feel love to sing love

He again closed his eyes and wondered about yesterday's incident.

Yesterday, During the audition for the upcoming school program, Jun without thinking choose to play a love song for the audition

A guy came to him and said it was his turn to give an audition on the stage. Jun felt nervous as it was the first time he was going to play a love song on stage.

Jun stepped one by one on the stairs and got on the stage. There weren't many people, only judges and some staff were there. However, Jun's legs were severing and his heart was beating fast.

Jun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, [I will do my best] he said to himself and opened his eyes. He set his pick on the guitar

"Hello, My name is Jun. I am going to sing Don't Break My heart "

Judges smiled at Jun and the spotlight was flashed on Jun.

"Don't break my heart…." He began to sing. Jun's pick was dancing so perfectly on the guitar that he looked like a professional guitarist.

"Can't live without you…" Jun slowly opened his eyes, and the Judge's expression was telling him that they weren't satisfied at all. all of them were listening to him carefully. Their eyes were giving the sign that they were satisfied by the music played by him on guitar but their lips down their faces were telling him that they were not satisfied by his singing.

"Stop... Stop…" One of the Judges stopped Jun. Jun had stopped.

"Jun, You are excellent at playing the guitar but at singing, there is some problem"

"My voice is not good," Jun said in shock as he had been said by people that he has an excellent voice

"No kid, that's not what we meat!" another judge added

"Your voice is marvels but the song that your singing was lacking something"

"Something?" Jun responded as he didn't know what the Judges were indicating.

"Feelings, Don't break my heart is a love song and in your singing, we can't find love at all." another Judge added

"Have you ever fallen in love with someone?" Female Judge said who was silent before

"No"

"That's the problem. When you sing a love song you need to feel love as if you aren't singing, you are saying those words to your lover"

Jun's all confidence vanished away, although the Judges were giving their suggestions. He wasn't accepting it.

"You need to feel love to sing love," Judge said.

You need to feel love to sing love

"Augh, how will I do that?" Jun came back to reality. He looked at the cut and said, " I can't afford love in this life." Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked the phone and responded, "Hello"

"Jun" hearing the soft voice, Jun knew that this was his mom's call from foreign.

"Hello mom"

"How are you dear?"

"I am fine , mom and you?"

"I am fine too, remember you asked for a book"

"Umm "

"Uncle Lorence had found it. He said that he has got only one left, so go to Uncle Lorence's shop." His mom said and hung up. Jun didn't waste any time, he immediately grabbed his wallet and headed for the shop.

Jun's mom is a caring and loving mother. Although she works in the U.S, she tries her best to fulfil her son's wish. Like today, She phoned every relative to find a book that Jun had desired.

*****

The shop was in another city. After an hour of travelling by bus, Jun reached his destination.

"Finally I am here, " He said as he stepped inside. Lorence, who was busy placing books on the shelves, Noticed Jun entering his shop. He keeps the pile of books on the nearby table and walks to the counter.

"My My My Look who is here," He said as he approached Jun

"Your nephew," Jun said with a joyful full voice.

"Come sit here" Lorence offered Jun to sit beside him on the chair

"Sorry I can't I have to go after taking the book," Jun said

"About that.." Lorence scratch his neck as there was a problem. Jun's happy mood was turning into disappointment.

"Someone already took the book"

"Uncle, how could you?" Jun hit the floor with his one foot

"Calm down Jun, I know someone who has the same book that you want" Lorence forward a glass of water to Jun as he observed anger in Jun's eyes. Jun took the glass and drank a sip of water. In a few seconds, his anger vanished away.

"I have shared the location. Check your phone" Jun checks his phone and yes, the location was there.

"Okay then I will see you later," Jun said and began to walk out.

"Okay.. and also don't pay for the book!" Lorence said from behind.

Jun followed the GPS direction on this phone and after a couple of minutes of walking, he made it to the shop.
