Time changes the hatred inside

Part 3 || flustering concert

Lovers rock by TV Girl

Lee's pov

I step out of the shower, only putting pants on for now because I amazingly forgot a shirt, how does that even happen. I hang the damp towel on the drying rack after drying off my hair. As I walk out the bathroom, I hear someone singing. It's pretty good singing, and before I know it I hear someone playing guitar too.

The sound is coming from down the hallway connecting the bathroom and bedroom. Its muffled, yet unmistakable, I pause with my hand leaning against the doorframe, listening. 

Is Haejun singing? The guitar strums clean, a little too good to be someone just messing around. My first instinct was that Haejun just turned on a speaker and some music. But the singing and guitar is too alive for that. Real.

 I walk towards the sound, still shirtless and my hair still dripping a bit. The hallway feels colder than expected. Maybe it's just the contrast from the bathroom or the fact that Haejuns singing, and it's actually.. calming. I never would have thought how delicate his singing is compared to his somewhat low raspy voice from earlier. I finally enter the bedroom after listening to him for a short while. His backs facing me, he's sitting criss-cross on the floor near his bed, swaying slowly to the melody of the music. 

I don't mind bothering him before I walk over to my dresser. While opening it, it makes a small creak noise. It catches Haejun's attention, he looks at me frozen in shock and, maybe blushing abit? Oh this is gonna be fun.

 I raise my eyebrow at him, slow and deliberate, resting my hand on the drawer like I have all the time in the world. " Didn't mean to interrupt your little concert there" I say, voice still rough from the shower. "Sounded good.", he's still very obviously flustered, "I- uh.. didn't know you were back yet." I grab a shirt, swinging it to rest on my shoulder instead of putting it on. " Well don't let me stop you. You know, I was kinda enjoying the show, cutie." I hear his breath hitch just a bit. I'm only doing this to get to his head and because I really have nothing better to do.

He gives a breath of a nervous laugh, scratching the back of his neck. " right. yeah. I just.. got bored." " mhm" I step closer, just one pace, enough to feel it shift the air between us. " Are you always this charming when you're bored?" He opens his mouth, but no words. This is fun.

 I hold his gaze for one more moment before shrugging and turning away towards my dresser and pulling on my shirt. " You can keep playing, you know. Didn't mean to distract you." I say less flirty than earlier. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Haejun staring, still sitting there, slightly red in the face, pretending he wasn't. 

He lets out a breath. " You didn't.. I just didn't know you were-" 

" I said it sounded good," I cut gently, walking past him towards the closed door. I see his eyes still following me, still red. " You good there rockstar?" That gets him. His jaw tenses, but he laughs brushing it off saying a rushed im fine. I calmly walk out the room, leaving him on his toes, it's funny.
