Chapter 1 : Waking Up

●♥●♥●♥●♥●♥●♥●

A distant voice that Atsumu knew very well called his name over and over again
"TSUMU! TSUMU, WAKE UP!!"
It was his brother, Samu
He desperately wanted to open his eyes, but something stopped him
Another voice came up
"Don't worry. Ambulance is on the way here"
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(Ah..he must've been my muse)
His raw, crisp, beautiful high pitched voice still embedded in Atsumu's head and heart
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(I really need to wake up now)
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(open up my eyes!)
BAM!
A sudden bursts of light blinds Atsumu's eyes in instant
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
hahh, hahh
But the view surrounding him was not what he thought it would be
He's laying on what he felt as a stretcher
The blinding lights turned out to be lights inside an ambulance
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
TSUMU!!
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
Sir, my brother has woken up!
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
w-where..
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
please take off the mask for a moment sir, my brother wants to say something-
Random People
Random People
please stay calm, sir
Random People
Random People
we're arriving at hospital
Random People
Random People
*checks on Atsumu's vitals*
Random People
Random People
he seems good but we need to wait for doctor
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
stay with me, Tsumu!
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
it's okay, I'm right here with you
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*nods and lost his consciousness again*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
TSUMU!!!
10 hours later
V.I.P. ICU Room
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*opens his eyes*
Atsumu tries to move his arms but the stings from needles of IV drips on his left arm stops him
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(my head hurts..)
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*blinking his eyes a few times to check his surroundings*
Dim lights and closed curtains around his bed
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(welp, guess I'm on a hospital room)
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
*wakes up from the sounds of rustling bed sheets*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
*opens the curtains*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
Tsumu, Thank God..
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
you finally woke up
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*smirks*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
h-hey...
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I need to call the doctor now
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
n-no!
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*cough-cough*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
*rushing to pour a glass of water for Tsumu*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
*puts a straw to help him*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
here, here, drink this first
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
*helps Tsumu to sit straight*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*drinks few sips*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
how are you feeling?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
the doctor said that you had anemia and you're very much sleep deprived
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
plus, he said that maybe there was something that triggered your..trauma
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
so do you want me to call the doctor now?
Atsumu puts on a faint smile and answers with his now raspy and deep voice
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
not now
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I'm fine..just a little dizzy
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
well, where is the boy?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
what boy?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
you know..
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
the orange haired boy
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
the short one with angelic voice
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
ah, him!
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
what about him?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
w-wait a second..
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
what did you say?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
angelic?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
yes..
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
you know..
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I finally knew what you meant by finding a muse
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
Samu...
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I finally found my muse
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
WHAT??!!
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
your voice is too loud
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
you got his number right?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
he was the one who saved me, right?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
no way....
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
don't tell me
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
dude, I'm so sorry..
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I didn't know
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
it was so hectic, the moment the ambulance arrived I forgot to even thank him-
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*sighs*
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I'm sorry, Tsumu
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I didn't know
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I was so panic
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
hahaha, it's okay
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
don't give me that sad face, Samu
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
it doesn't fit you at all, haha
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
don't force your smile, Tsumu
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
and..are you sure that he's your muse?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*takes a deep breath*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
yup
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
100000% positive
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
crystal clear
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
it's such a huge shame I didn't get his contact
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
but..I do believe if we're fated to be together
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
we'll meet again
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
and..your goal is fulfilled right?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
what goal?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
now I have many inspirations to write new songs
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
but you can't meet him again
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
who said I can't?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I will make those songs for him
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
maybe someday my melody will reach out to him
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
are you ready?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
hahah, so the old Atsumu is back?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
yup, just wait and "The Jackals" revival is coming soon

Miya Atsumu

Miya Atsumu

The studio door opens again
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu

Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke

Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke

Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu

Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu

Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu

But suddenly the whole studio room went silent
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
guys??
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
what? 3 songs?
Suna Rintarou
Suna Rintarou
*sighs*
Suna Rintarou
Suna Rintarou
that explained months worth hiatus
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
I didn't know you made 3 songs, Tsumu...
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
is it a bad thing?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
you can choose one of them if it's too much
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
absolutely no
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
it seems like you're in your peak
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
how can we waste this chance?
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
what exactly happened past few months?
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
did you really go to meditate on a secluded mountain?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
hahahaha, of course not
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
it's just that..
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*blushing*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I...met my muse!
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*smiles widely*
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro

Suna Rintarou
Suna Rintarou
hmm, the tea is exceptionally good this morning
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
we can continue this chit chat later
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
can you play the demo, now?
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
we must practice them as soon as possible
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
got it, senpai
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*turns on his phone*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*search for the demo on his playlist*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
this is the first song
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*plays his first song*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
it's called "Suffocating"
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
prepare your ears guys, it's a heavy metal one
🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
"The Jackals" are known for its experimental works, so even if they never tried playing metal songs before, it doesn't surprise other members
The sounds of roaring drums and electric guitar filled the room instantly
🎵I was drowned!🎶
🎵Suffocating from my own greediness, my selfishness🎶
🎵How can I atone for my sins?🎶
🎵I lost sense of direction in this cruel labyrinth🎶
🎵Someone...out there...🎶
🎵Take me out, hear me out🎶
🎵Resuscitate me!🎶
🎵Safe me!🎶
🎵I'm suffocated, ahhh!!!🎶
🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
The demo finally came to stop
Aran is the first one to break the silence
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
wow...
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
*wipes away his tears*
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
even tho it's a metal
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
but surprisingly, it was..heartwrenching
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro
never knew you could write a song like that
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
thanks..
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
you guys probably knew that this was written based on these past few months of hell
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
is it okay?
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
it's new but it's decent
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
okay..
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
don't be sad, you know how difficult it is to get a compliment from Kita senpai..you must be a master to get that privilege
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
I know, I'm not worrying about that, dude
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
(it's just that..what if...after the past long hiatus, I actually lost my talent??!)
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
don't worry, it's truly a decent song
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
we can arrange it later to match our style
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
so..can we move on to the next song?
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
u-uh, sure!
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*plays the second demo*
🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
it's called "Debris"
This time, the song progressed into ballad sounds, dominated by 4/4 rhytm from piano
🎵Ruins of my castle🎶
🎵Shattered bricks of its tower🎶
🎵Broken pieces of my family's soul🎶
🎵As they saw the castle they loved has fallen down🎶
🎵How long I've been drown?🎶
🎵I plucked the remaining debris🎶
🎵Oh, how these debris carried hope🎶
🎵These debris carried the love my family offered🎶
🎵And now you came, maybe these debris🎶
🎵Could become a home for us🎶
The demo stopped
All of them went silent
Suna Rintarou
Suna Rintarou
guys, no comment?
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
*turned his head away from them and quietly wiping tears on his cheeks*
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
*faces them again with his usual poker face*
Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
what do you think, guys?
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu

Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*smiles*
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu

Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu

Miya Atsumu

Suna Rintarou
Suna Rintarou
*rolling his eyes*
Aran Ojiro
Aran Ojiro

Kita Shinsuke
Kita Shinsuke
okay, let's move on to the last song
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
*plays the last demo*
🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵
The last demo turned out to be upbeat pop rock song with colour of hope
Miya Osamu
Miya Osamu
Geez, Sumu, I can't handle your mood swing
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
hushh, just listen to it
Miya Atsumu
Miya Atsumu
this is around the time I met my muse
🎵Like a new born deer🎶
🎵My weak legs were forced to run🎶
🎵With nothing but the hope of my family🎶
🎵I tried to be alive again🎶
🎵But this time, baby, this timee🎶
🎵I found you in the middle🎶
🎵You who came to me like a wind of July🎶
🎵Strings of your voice woke me up from my nightmare🎶
🎵Please hold me and don't let me go🎶
The demo stopped
Suna Rintarou
