Long Week Pt. 1

Tayku-ah, everyone, sorry for leaving without telling anyone and for being gone so long. Just, I had forgotten about Oppa’s thing he had to go to. Again, sorry. Very, very sorry. I’ll make it up to everyone, I really will. I can’t reply to the emails at the moment. But, CutieFruitie, ask away. I love questions, and I’m happy to tell you about myself. ^^ Anyway, on to what I’m here for. It’s been about a week so I think I might have to do separate post to tell everything in full detail.

Okay! So I don’t confuse anyone I’ll try to use real names. Because if I said ‘Oppa’ for everyone I call Oppa… I think it would get very confusing.

As Tayku already knows Youngwoon(my older twin brother) got to go play at some mini concerto. Well, I had forgotten it was this week up until Mom told me to start packing. Which is why I didn’t tell anyone. The drive up there was long and boring and I forgot my laptop and Youngwoon wouldn’t let me use his. So I read. All the way there. It was some place in Georgia… My mind can’t think of a name though. Northern Georgia… Does that help any? Ah, anyway. We stopped at the hotel. VERY boring first day. Then we woke up and Youngwoon was dressed so cutely. I really could have pinched his cheeks. He had on a suit with a little tie and those shiny cufflink things. He asked me to do his hair. So dependent on his little sister. So I styled it to the side which made him look even cuter. Tayku-ah, you would have squealed. Then we had to go to a rehearsal. Or was it breakfast? I’m not sure, when we got to the actual building everyone was sitting on the stage eating breakfast. Me being like I am, I dove in when asked if I wanted to join. Eventually they practiced but… still, isn’t that a bit… I don’t know.

I left half-way through. Didn’t want to taint the actual performance I would see later. I took my hard-earned money and did something I never do. I spent it on myself. I bought a few things for other people, but the most important thing is, I bought a new handphone. Tay, I’ll send you the number later.

I  met someone… but that’ll be later too.

Hours later~~~  We take our seats close to the front of the stage. The lights dim and a big man comes from behind the curtain. Blah, blah, blah… I didn’t pay attention to him. Then the first act. It was a big band(?) with almost every kind of instrument. I spotted Oppa in the middle and to the left. They played something classical. I’m sure it was by Bach as I’ve never been a big fan. Well, I don’t know everything he’s made. Not like my Mozart. It ended. Everyone stood and bowed. We all applauded. More acts… I can’t remember them all. Ah, but, I’m happy, ‘Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major’ was played. One of my favorites. Then solo cello performance. Ah~ It was beautiful. It was a short skinny girl and she really… I don’t have words for it. I almost had tears. I think all the instrumentalist had solos. More people… I was happy and excited and so many emotions. Close to the end was Youngwoon. He walked to the center of the stage and bowed. He gave a big smile to Mom and Dad and me. He set his violin next to his chin(?) and brought the bow up. There was a pause. I think he was taking a breath. Then he started. He played Chausson Poeme. If you know anything about it you know it’s difficult. It’s in E flat minor. So sad though. And when he struck the last note… everyone stood and applauded and… I was wiping my eyes and trying to clap at the same time. I looked up just in time to see Youngwoon wiping his eyes too(우.우)

There’s something I didn’t know though. Oppa has fans. No really, fans? But, that’s for later too.

On with the story. After everyone settled down Youngwoon set the violin again. I was startled at first. I had forgotten he had two solos. My mind is really too bad. Youngwoon gave an impish grin to everyone. Then I remembered, this was one of his own pieces. The only one he’s ever written. It started out slow and soft but as the seconds rolled on it started to have a hint of speed to it. Then, without warning it exploded into a grand play of the higher notes dipping into the lower notes and rising again. He strained a part in the middle to give it some depth. Again without warning he ascended quickly. It ended with him just stopping. He gave that impish grin again as he lowered the violin to his side and bowed. I don’t remember the other performers. No, I remember the piano was last. A nice happy song to end the night, although she did hit a few wrong keys.  ㅜ.ㅜ

That’s enough for today… ^^ My descriptions are… not good. ^^ So much more to say, but it can wait.
