a thread feat. @bunbunlovesdonuts​: adagio seo.
the clamouring thoughts within his head only quieten in the depth of strung music, tunes hanging on the filaments that do not lack fervour albeit sentimental. the absence of sheets before him indicates professionalism, one which is unbeknownst to the audience has been honed for more than half a century. the appended dilapidation is a suspension of disbelief, at times, but he digresses. lithe fingers that hypnotise the ballroom as he was invited not only as the night’s entertainer, but also a guest. he is to finish within the last three songs, but he might play an additional note as the host has been kind enough to lend him a place to silence his thoughts for a moment. fleeting wraiths still pass by, almost endearing with how hard they try to perturb. still, in the serenity he resides, colouring the otherwise tedious event with a flair that many would deem as none if not talents.
ah, well. that is an effortless deduction. talents would be dust if not harnessed. this last piece is also a practiced one, attuned within the momentum. and he can feel the fixated gazes on him, almost typical. it etches a sense of pride, knowing their interests might be tethered to his... hopefully, performance. he’s used to the unsolicited attention, however, considering the kind of chiseled looks that he wears. a façade of harmless silhouettes, sharpened jawline to accompany the pretence. this one occasion is rather welcome, and he’s accustomed to the glances, even after finishing what’s he’s dutifully tasked for the night. as the dark grows wearier, he ends the orchestrated solo with a familiar harmony, rounding up an applause when he finally rises to his feet.
and of course, the almost expected, overextended attention that remains on him after the crowd disperses. a stranger. the approach is rather casual, sure, but hansol knows he has existed long enough to detect the intents of others. he smiles, pliant, as he takes a flute of champagne from the passing waitress, awaiting the man’s appeal to take up his time for the moment’s reprieve.
