Episode 5. Destiny rather than coincidence (5)
Jeong Hee-seong couldn’t take his eyes off Do-hyeon, as if he were possessed by the devil.
Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
Do-hyeon kindly opened the book and gave it to me, but I couldn’t read a single line due to Do-hyeon’s acting, which I started without even having time to read. Nevertheless, I could clearly see who the character Do-hyeon was playing was.
Dohyeon, with his back elegantly straightened, is holding a candle. The hand holding the candle, the angle of the chin, and the upright neck are all exuding elegance.
Although they are heading somewhere, their eyes are strangely blurry.
Corpse-like eyes slither like snakes. Although both hands are white, red blood is reflected in Do-hyeon’s eyes.
“There are still traces here.”
I put down the candle and made a motion to wash my hands. A look of puzzlement appears on Do-hyeon’s face.
The movement of washing hands gradually became faster.
Puzzle soon turns into fear.
“Huh, huh!”
A scream resembling death pierced my ears like a sharp awl.
Jeong Hee-seong even stopped breathing for a moment due to the despair that was crushing his heart. But Do-hyeon’s acting wasn’t over.
Dohyeon seemed to be in the grip of madness as his hands continued to turn red.
however.
“Erase, cursed traces! “Didn’t I tell you!”
The indescribable desperation contained in the tormented voices as they clutched both hands made me feel sorry for the madness rather than fearful.
That moment.
The corners of Dohyeon’s mouth gently rose.
A ghost whispers in the woman’s ear.
It is a ghost of her past.
“Ah, yes. Now is the time to take action. Hell is dark. Oh my, your majesty, oh my! As a soldier, what are you afraid of? We have power. “You don’t have to be afraid of anything.”
Do-hyeon speaks sweetly, as if comforting a child who is scared by looking into the sky.
However, despite her elegant and beautiful smile, I could not relax my mind due to the strange tension flowing through the air.
“however… .”
The subtly scattered voices were eerie.
The elegant smile suddenly became grotesquely distorted. Jeong Hee-seong reflexively flinched as goosebumps ran down her spine.
“Who would have thought? “Who would have thought that there would be so much blood in that old king’s body?”
Dohyeon laughed as if it was funny.
‘… crazy.’
Jeong Hee-seong had no idea what he was seeing. It felt more realistic that the little boy was possessed by the devil.
He was a child who had a deadpan expression more often than when he smiled, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his emotions when dealing with childish topics.
What on earth are the various emotions Do-hyeon is giving off right now?
Jeong Hee-seong was completely overwhelmed by Do-hyeon’s emotions.
Meanwhile, Do-hyeon, who was overcome with fear and looking at the blood on his hands, changed once again and screamed as if he were having a fit.
“Stop it, my king. Stop it! “If you’re so scared, you’ll ruin everything!”
Gagging.
Dohyeon suddenly grabbed his neck. He groped around his neck with both hands as if someone was strangling him. His pale face looked like someone who had really been strangled.
Dohyeon, who had been taking a step back, sat down.
When Do-hyeon’s eyes fell on the floor and wandered around fumbling around, Jeong Hee-seong felt like there was a fishy smell coming from somewhere.
My eyes became cloudy.
“My hands still smell bloody. Even if you apply all the perfumes of Arabia, they will not be able to make these little hands smell sweet!”
Her voice full of pain and her movements of scraping the floor no longer showed the queen’s dignity. She jumped into the fire out of greed, leaving only a foolish human being charred to death.
Dohyeon slowly raised his head.
Jeong Hee-seong trembled slightly. Without realizing it, I grabbed the blanket tightly.
Lady Macbeth.
This silence was Lady Macbeth’s last peace before destruction.
Lady Macbeth, who was running away in fear, maintained a strange calm in the face of the approaching hell.
“Your Majesty, hurry and wash your hands and put on your pajamas. Don’t look so pale. I repeat, Banquo is buried. He cannot come out of the grave.”
Do-hyeon staggered to his feet and stretched out his hand to the invisible figure.
“Your Majesty, come here. “Let’s go to the bedroom.”
But something threatened to shatter the peace.
“ah! “Someone is knocking on the door.”
It was her ghost that I could not shake off until the very end.
Do-hyeon becomes increasingly anxious. Before the ghost attacks me again, before the distant fear takes over my body.
Previously.
“Now, now, now! Please give me your hand. You can’t undo what has already happened. Come on, let’s go. To the bedroom, to the bedroom, to the bedroom!” One)
Dohyeon walked somewhere. And just like that, he fell down as if he was lying down on the bed.
I will get out of this hell before then.
Jeong Hee-seong jumped up from his seat without realizing it.
“Dohyun!”
A startled Jeong Hee-seong ran to Do-hyeon.
That’s smoke.
I knew it was acting.
But I didn’t want to see what happened next.
Do-hyeon raised his head at Jeong Hee-seong’s call. When Jeong Hee-seong saw Do-hyeon’s face, her tension eased and she sank down in her seat.
“Why, what’s wrong?”
The boy’s bewildered face did not belong to the woman who had just been giving off the damp smell of death. That felt strangely reassuring, so Jeong Hee-seong hugged her Do-hyeon tightly.
Do-hyeon, who was suddenly hugged by Jeong Hee-seong, rolled his eyes.
“… “You were surprised.”
“Are you that surprised? sorry.”
“Acting is Lady Macbeth. Besides, even if you choose… .”
I didn’t notice it earlier because I was concentrating on Dohyun’s acting, but thinking about it again, I was shocked.
“Isn’t it fun? . “It’s my favorite book.”
When Jeong Hee-seong shook his head at those words, Do-hyeon secretly laughed.
“The scene was not intentional. “I just unfolded it and that part came out.”
“You really… Ugh, that’s it. “I can’t hit this.”
Jeong Hee-seong, who said that, wrapped his arms around Do-hyeon as if he was holding something very precious. Jeong Hee-seong thought.
This is a kid who really breaks my heart in many ways.
No matter how random the part was, it was acting like that.
Jeong Hee-seong sighed and thought back to a question that suddenly occurred to him.
Random part?
One of Jeong Hee-seong’s eyebrows rose.
“Are you sure you memorize the whole book?”
Jeong Hee-seong grabbed hold of Do-hyeon’s shoulder and answered, regretting the warmth that had disappeared from Do-hyeon’s embrace.
“It’s just because I read it often.”
Dohyeon’s face looked carefree.
“Then did you memorize the lines for all the other scenes?”
“I didn’t memorize it on purpose, but that’s right.”
This little boy was a series of surprises no matter how he looked.
“Have you ever been called a genius?”
“well. Kaylee said I was smart… I do not know.”
Jeong Hee-seong realized what those words meant.
‘Probably, I haven’t had a chance to compare myself with others.’
Jeong Hee-seong quickly calmed down.
Whether he was a genius, gifted, or ordinary, Dohyun was Dohyeon. Such things are only a small part of the truth.
“More than that, how was it?”
Jeong Hee-seong shook off his thoughts about Do-hyeon’s genius and answered.
“What do you think? I thought my heart was falling out. “I’ve never seen someone as good at acting as you.”
“really?”
Dohyeon, unable to hide his joy and his cheeks turning red with excitement, came to his senses and shook his head.
“No, not that one.”
Jeong Hee-seong paused at Do-hyeon’s words.
He was such a naughty little boy.
If you come face to face with something like this, there really is nothing you can do, right?
“It was cool?”
“Brother, that’s not it.”
“You won.”
Dohyeon opened his eyes round at those words.
“How can I endure it when you’re acting like that right in front of me?”
Jeong Hee-seong’s heart was still pounding hard. It wasn’t just that Do-hyeon was worried that something would really go wrong.
Is there anyone who wouldn’t be nervous as he acts as if this moment is his last and as if he is only 8 years old and burning the flame of life?
From the moment Do-hyeon slumped his shoulders, Jeong Hee-seong’s hands began to itch.
The entire time Do-hyeon was acting, I couldn’t even take my eyes off him and my fingers were shaking. Just like playing.
I was completely caught up in this kid.
Hee-seong Jeong admitted defeat.
“I lost.”
Dohyeon smiled brightly at those words. It was a smile filled only with joy, without a hint of shade.
Jeong Hee-seong, who was dazed for a moment by the brilliant smile he saw for the first time, soon looked at Do-hyeon and smiled.
Jeong Hee-seong released his arms around Do-hyeon and stood up, putting his hands in Do-hyeon’s armpits and lifting him up.
He placed Do-hyeon, whose body was floating and stiff, on his bed, walked to the closet, and opened the closet door.
A white case was visible between the clothes hanging on the hanger.
Even though he thought he had put it down, it was his violin that he eventually brought here.
Jeong Hee-seong looked at the case with confused eyes for a moment, then stretched out his hand and took it out.
Do-hyeon, who realized what Jeong Hee-seong was doing, turned his cheeks red with joy and excitement.
When I opened the case, I saw a friend who had been with him for a very long time.
As I carefully picked it up with trembling hands, a sense of longing and stability came flooding in as the body fit perfectly in my hands.
‘I did this…’ ‘How did I live with it?’
Jeong Hee-seong’s hands skillfully placed the four ropes so that they hung on the upper part of the rope hanger frame.
The strings passed over the bridge, fingerboard, and ebony nuts and were wound tightly with a string spool. I hung the bow hair on the string frame and took out the rosin and rubbed it on the bow hair.
And with careful movements, I drew the A string. Because I hadn’t used it for a long time, I repeated drawing and tuning, drawing and tuning to pitches that didn’t fit.
When all four strings are tuned like that.
The bow crossed the strings following the unstoppable hand.
Even though it was tuned without using a tuner, the pitch was stable. It was natural.
Because I never forgot the tone of the strings even for a moment.
My hands, which had been restless for a year, did not move as I expected. It felt awkward and stiff, like an unoiled machine.
Nevertheless, Hee-seong Jeong could not stop.
Once the dam that blocks the sea breaks, it cannot handle the pouring water. Jeong Hee-seong was a broken dam.
Following his touch, the performance began.
There was no title.
He was just playing his feelings right now.
The unstable pitch gradually regained strength following the unstoppable movement of his bow.
‘Yes, this is what it sounded like.’
Jeong Hee-seong closed his eyes. It felt like his heart would explode if he didn’t pour out his feelings now.
He continued playing desperately.
Dohyeon couldn’t come to his senses from the sharp tone.
Dohyeon didn’t know much about music. Because the young boy’s world was very narrow and limited.
However, a clear image was conveyed through Jeong Hee-seong’s performance to the extent that Do-hyeon could understand it.
A desire to play.
The will to pour everything out in this moment.
Jeong Hee-seong understood Do-hyeon, and Do-hyeon also understood Jeong Hee-seong.
Something beyond simple communication occurred between the two.
As Jeong Hee-seong continued to play, the corner of his left eye became distorted.
Dohyeon was embarrassed, clutching his heart and not knowing what to do as he experienced this sensation for the first time.
The performance reaches its peak,
Dohyeon’s eyes opened wide.
Something of a clear sky color flowing like a calm lake flowed out of me.
And at the same time, something the color of a sunset, like an intense firework, was flowing out of Jeong Hee-seong.
The moment when the two energies start to fluctuate and mix.
【found! Strange souls!】
