A Harmonious Serenade

JiU x GN! Reader | Fluff | Warnings: None

"Stop stressing about the music recital, you'll do great, like you always do!" JiU stated.

"I can't help it, darling. I've worked so hard to get here that I do not want to screw this up." Y/N said as they put the sheet music down in front of them.

JiU noticed their tense expression as they studied the notes carefully, she sighed at the sight.

"Ever the perfectionist, are you?" JiU spoke with a smile. She hugged Y/N from behind, placing a kiss on their cheek before looking into their eyes with nothing but sincerity as she spoke "You'll do great. You always do. Nothing in this world can stop you now. You've constantly picked yourself up off the ground and worked your butt off just to fulfill your dreams, and here you are. You are a talented soul and you deserve to be heard, whether you mess up or not. One mistake does not erase all the talent you have."

At her words, Y/N smiled and leaned in to her touch.

JiU always had a calming aura around her that Y/N loved. JiU brought the peace needed in Y/N's studio whenever they played the piano.

JiU's presence alone was enough to calm Y/N down, and she was happy to be there for Y/N whenever they needed her.

"I love you."

"I love you too, my dear."

The day of the recital was the day you were excited for, yet also dreaded.

The energy that ran through the backstage didn't seem to help with the nerves. Everyone was running around, transferring things or people from one place to another, either speaking calmly or yelling. This was indeed no place that Y/N could take a breather at, so they retreated to the waiting room.

"SURPRISE!" Y/N heard the familiar voice of the girl they so loved.

Y/N immediately hugged JiU, trying so hard to calm down.

"Woah, what's wrong, darling? What is it?" JiU asked, as she cupped your face and looked you in the eye with worry in hers.

"Everything's so hectic, you know how I have to be completely relaxed in order to complete a piece, right? The energy outside isn't exactly helping. What if I get anxious right before I have to be pulled on stage and I mess up? I don't want to mess up! I practiced day and night for this, and I-" JiU placed a finger on Y/N's lips, silencing them.

"Baby, when you get anxious, just look at me, or squeeze my hand before you go on stage. I'll be here for you, okay? So, don't be anxious." JiU said as she leaned her forehead against yours. "You'll do a great job. The piece has basically became muscle memory for you at this point. You might even be able to play the whole piece without having to look at the notes nor the keys. You'll do great out there." You smiled at your girlfriend. She always knew the right words to say to calm you down.

She got on her tiptoes and placed a gentle kiss on your lips. As she pulled away, she held your hands in hers and walked you back outside.

The energy of the backstage began to affect you again, and just as you were about to go back in the waiting room, JiU pulled you into a hug and squeezed you tightly.

"Y/N, you're up in 5 minutes." Said one of the staff.

JiU pulled away to give you a smile "You can do this."

You squeezed her hand before nervously walking on stage. The spotlight greeted you once you hit the stage and so did the numerous faces of the people in the audience.

You took a quick bow before sitting yourself in front of the piano.

Looking at the notes in front of you, you felt overwhelmed. Your heart began to race as you positioned your hands. Doubts began to fill your mind as your hands started to play the piano in front of you.

You began overthinking "Is this the right note? Am I reading this right? Is my sweating obvious? Is my nervousness obvious? Did I just make a mistake?!"

Suddenly, just as you were about to stop playing and get up and leave without finishing the piece, your eyes met JiU's who was looking at you with a proud expression. Her hands were clasped together tightly as her eyes remained on you.

There was a spark in her eyes as she admired the melody you created from the piano. Her smile only grew when she noticed you visibly relaxing as you continued the piece.

In that moment, it felt like it was just the two of you in this auditorium. It felt as if you were playing a love song specifically created for the woman whose presence made you forget about everyone else in the room. It felt as if you were serenading her with a classic love song like "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Elvis Presley or "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by Frankie Valli, which all speak the truth of your love for JiU.

It was a slow burn, but you always had your eyes on each other from the start. You both never wanted anyone else but each other. You knew that the ending of that slow burn would be a satisfying confession in which the two would kiss and everyone would rejoice as the story ended.

Right now was either the sequel or the story after. However, you felt as if your slow burn didn't need a sequel as no one could get in the way of the love you both felt for each other. It was the story after that, that was never told because it was known from the start that the stars aligned in your favor, fate decided that you two belonged together, and therefore, could never be broken apart.

You two felt your hearts connect through the music that flooded the air.

You didn't even notice the looks of awe the audience was giving as you stared at what seemed like nothing as you played the piano.

How could one be this talented?

You didn't know how you did it as well.

All you knew was JiU, the woman that you devoted every piece of music you either played or made.

No.

Not JiU.

Min Ji. Kim Min Ji.
