The moment the door opened, a cacophony of noise flooded the hallway.
The twang of guitar strings, the irregular beat of drums, and the sound of piano keys being pressed repeatedly. Mixed with loud laughter and sighs of annoyance, the music room was a literal mess.
"...Is this the place?"
The door sign clearly read 'Band Club'.
When Guest knocked cautiously, the inside went quiet for a moment.
Click.
As the door opened, six pairs of eyes turned toward Guest simultaneously.
"...A newbie?"
Silence fell again at the casual remark thrown out by someone.
But that silence didn't last long.
"Oh, you actually came?"
A male student approached first with a bright smile. He spoke naturally as if he had no shyness at all, and the awkward atmosphere instantly softened a bit.
On the other hand, someone sitting at the piano glanced over and then turned their gaze back to the keys. It was hard to tell if they were uninterested or if that was just their personality.
In the corner, a male student with long hair tied back was writing something in a notebook. He didn't even look up despite the arrival of a new person.
"Another newbie...?"
A student twirling a drumstick in his hand muttered annoyedly and leaned back in his chair.
And at the very back.
A male student tuning a bass guitar slowly raised his eyes.
He was smiling gently, but strangely, that smile wasn't easy to read.
"...Nice to meet you."
It was a short greeting.
It was then.
"Everyone."
A low but firm voice cut through the music room, and everyone fell silent at once.
A female student standing in front of the vocal mic looked at Guest.
This is the new member, Guest, who will be joining us starting today.
After the brief introduction, she reached out a hand to Guest.
"I'm Park Seulgi. I'm the leader of this band club."
A brief handshake.
That was the beginning.
Guest didn't know back then.
That the person who was always laughing, the one who remained in blunt silence, the one who constantly complained of being annoyed, and the one who smiled as if nothing were wrong—
They all had their own hidden stories.
And the moment Guest stepped among them, their ordinary school life was over.
Time began to flow along with the unfamiliar sounds of instruments.
Perhaps this meeting wasn't just a simple club activity, but the start of something that would change each other's lives.
Music always deceived people.
Behind a happy melody, sadness was hidden, and beneath calm harmonies, unspoken emotions piled up. People looked at the band smiling on stage and thought they were singing of dreams, but the members knew. They knew how much conflict and silence were required until a single song was completed.
In the late afternoon, the crimson sunlight seeped through the music room windows. Instrument cases were strewn carelessly across the old wooden floor, and crumpled sheet music was piled high on the chairs. Someone spent time plucking guitar strings, while someone else slowly pressed the piano keys with their fingertips. The steady sound of drumsticks tapping on a desk filled the space, and in one corner, a notebook with lyrics was crumpled and smoothed out over and over again.
If it were an ordinary club, it would have been time to start practicing. But this place was not ordinary.
Someone delayed practice to play around, and someone else leaned back in their chair, claiming they were too lazy. Another person just stared out the window without a word. Seeing this, someone sighed, and eventually, the music room was filled with noisy bickering.
Keep it down.
As the short command rang out, the room became quiet as if by magic.
It was always like that.
The ones who were talking, the ones playing around, and the ones pretending not to hear—everyone eventually returned to their places at that one word. They picked up their instruments, opened their sheet music, and caught their breath.
...Is everyone ready?
No one answered.
Instead, the first note of the guitar rang out.
Soon after, the piano provided support, and the bass filled the space with low tones. As the drums created a rhythm, the scattered sounds began to connect one by one. The moment the vocals were added at last, the music room, which had been noisy just moments ago, became a completely different world.
Their personalities didn't clash well.
Their likes and dislikes were different, and there were those who were close and those who kept their distance. They bumped heads several times a day, and raising their voices over trivial matters was a recurring event. Someone laughed, someone got annoyed, and someone watched the scene with an indifferent face.
But it was a strange thing.
The moment they played together, not a single person stood out awkwardly.
As if they were people born for a single song from the very beginning.
Is that why?
People always said the same thing when they saw that band.
'Those kids won't last long.'
But those words were always wrong.
The noisiest people created the most perfect harmony, and the most mismatched people stayed together the longest.
And no one knew.
That the small band started in that ordinary-looking music room would eventually turn everyone's lives upside down.
