Require to live? Why does it ring a bell inside her mind?
Where has she heard of it?
Kaylee could not hold back her curiosity, and without realizing it, she started mumbling a melody and tapping her finger on the edge of the yellow folder.
Whatever she does cannot escape Declan's hawk gaze.
Does this kid recognize the song?
Declan heard Kaylee's faint murmuring sound, and his eyes noticed a finger tapping on his music sheet.
Not only a soul player, but this young man can sing songs on a music sheet without holding a piano?
Not long after that, Declan noticed a frown on Nicholas's forehead, and the young man immediately put the folder on his desk, then spread the paper on the table.
Declan hid his lopsided smile when he saw the young man's behavior who wanted to see the music sheet thoroughly.
Kaylee herself felt her heart flutter because she knew this song so well.
She knew what the song was like but never heard it thoroughly.
The first time Kaylee heard this song was when her friends invited her to watch a movie when she was a new student at M University.
The movie showed many violent scenes and explicates how the antagonist serial killer mutilates his victims.
Scenes that were not very suitable for young audiences, but this movie recommendation was aimed at all ages.
As a result, this movie was only shown in the cinema for only a week. Many criticisms and reproaches from the public making the cinema had to revoke it.
But there was something very memorable about the movie that caught Kaylee's attention.
Kaylee didn't know the movie's plot story because she closed her eyes every time there was a scene that was so gory.
But the soundtrack on a scene so intrigued her that she couldn't help but memorize it. The music made her as if she was attending a concert rather than in the cinema with her friends.
When her friends discussed how horrified they were or what their comments wanted to be nauseous considering the violent scenes that were so sadistic, Kaylee recalled the musical melody that caught her attention.
The contents of the soundtrack only lasted less than a minute, but it was enough for her to remember. She was a music prodigy, after all. Kaylee still remembered the song's melody and chords until now as if it were her daily song.
Unfortunately, she never listened to the song wholly because it didn't exist on the internet or any Black Moon album.
And now… she's had the chance to see all of her all-time favorite songs! Kaylee was eager to bring this music sheet home and play it on the piano.
But...
How come Declan Black has Black Moon's music sheet?
Kaylee glanced at Declan, who still had a flat face towards her.
"You… How can you hold Black Moon's music sheet? I've been looking everywhere and asking other musicians, but I can't find it. How did you find it?"
"I did not find it." was the short answer. "I wrote it."
Kaylee blinked her eyes several times as if she heard it wrong.
Is this person playing with her? How could Declan Black write this song? How could this be…
Kaylee suddenly fell silent when she realized something.
Declan Black.
Black Moon.
Black??
Kaylee gasped as she realized the single most important point here.
"You... You are Black Moon!?" no one knows whether Kaylee's eyes could be bigger than they are now or not. If they could, maybe her face would be filled with eyes so that it looks like a one-eyed monster.
"That's me," confirmed Declan making Kaylee's knee went to jelly.
Declan Black is Black Moon? Black Moon is Declan Black?
What…
What…
What...
What great news!!
Kaylee soon changed her attitude toward the man and smiled widely… the widest smile she has ever shown at the man.
Declan wished to tell Nick to keep this little secret a secret because he did not want his pseudonym to be exposed. He didn't even want Nicholas to know about it, but because Nick was his savior, the kid had a place in his heart.
Plus, it seems that Nick was a fan of Black Moon after learning that this young man knows one of his songs.
"I would appreciate it if…" however, he couldn't continue his word when Kaylee cut him off.
"Is it true that you are Black Moon? The person who composed Require to Kill and made the album called Mysterious One from New York?"
"…"
"Does this mean that I've been on the campus where Black Moon is all this time?" shrieked Kaylee, completely forgotten her role as Nick.
Declan became confused by the change in the youth's behavior in front of him. Why did this child become so excited after finding out that he was Black Moon?
"Mister Larson,"
"I will do it."
"What…"
"I'm going to take an additional class from you. Thank you for having me, Mister Black."
"That…"
"By the way, why are the song titles different? Shouldn't the title be Require to Kill? Why does it say Require to Live here?"
"…" Declan sighed while shaking his head. He had absolutely no idea that Nicholas Larson was so talkative that he couldn't finish his sentence.
"The correct title is Require to Live. But the producers decided to change it at the last minute and didn't show the whole song."
"Ah, I see. I noticed that the first part was made tenser with so many chords popping up, but in the second part of the theme to the end, the melodic pattern started to change for the better. Require to Live. I think it suits better than the other one."
Kaylee stroked the title on the paper as if the writing was something very precious, while her gentle smile showing two cute dimples made Declan blinked his eyes.
Wait a minute! Why did he see fluffy pink around the boy??
And why he skipped a beat toward that sweet, gentle smile??
He should go to psychiatrist after this.
