Chapter 1: The First Connection

Chapter Text

Sunlight streams through the window. There are instruments scattered on the ground.

Junhan sits all the way in the back of the classroom. His fingers twist the pegs as he tunes his guitar. His headphones are half on. He's lost in his own world.

He doesn't even realize it but someone else just entered the room as he started playing. His eyes glance up at his music sheet. His fingers moved across the strings. The pick moves slightly, occasionally changing strings.

Music fills the room.

Eventually, he finishes the song.

He hears someone clapping so he immediately looks up.

There is O.de, his real name is Seungmin but no one really calls him that. He's one of the only students who play the synthesizer.

"You sound really good." O.de says with a smile.

Junhan tries to smile back but it just feels awkward. "Thanks."

O.de chuckles slightly as he heads towards the closet that's near the entrance. He grabs a sheet protector before putting his music sheet in it.

O.de glances back at Junhan. "Do you often come here to practice alone?"

Junhan hesitates, but responds anyway. "Yeah, usually.." He said quietly.

O.de smiles then walks over to Junhan, sitting next to Junhan.

Junhan doesn't react but he could feel his body freezing. The smell of O.de cologne combined with the sweet smile of his.

The two talk a bit about music, favorite songs, and instruments.

Junhan nods most of the time, it's mainly just O.de talking.

He notices the way O.de's uniform is slightly wrinkled, the way he has his hair covering his forehead and a bit of his eyes, the soft laughter of his. It all makes him slightly drawn to O.de.
