Hello Again

She was glad to have spotted a room held for vocal lessons. She heard the tunes of the piano as soon as she opened the door a little and as quietly as possible, she hasn't heard the piece before. She thought that was the end of it but it was actually just an intro and then, she heard the voice of the one that's playing. It was a guy singing his heart out, she listened well to the lyrics of the song and it broke her heart a little.

What she didn't expect was that she unconsciously leaned forward to hear better and accidentally opened the door wider, causing her to fall and distract the one singing.

The guy who was playing before stopped and turned to her. "Oh! What are you doing there?" He asked as he stood to help her out.

"Thanks and uh, sorry." She said, not looking up as she dusted herself, embarassed with the situation. "I was just---" She paused as she looked up and finally noticed the guy in front of her. "Aren't you... Baekhyun-ssi?"

He was staring at her, almost in a daze but quickly snapped out of it as he finally heard her. "Ah, yeah. Hello again." He smiled brightly at her, his mask though was covering his face once more but she could see it in his eyesmile. He was wearing a bonnet this time and his hair was covered really well that she could only see his eyebrows and eyes, she immediately recognized him because of it. He was in a black long sleeves and fitted jeans with a rubber shoes on, he looked casual. "What are you doing here?" He asked once again, tilting his head to the side.

"Oh. I was just looking around. Heechul kind of left me and so I decided to just tour around." She answered. She didn't know why she left out the fact that she's a producer now of BY entertainment. "You have a really nice voice." She complimented him with a smile on her lips.

She saw the tip of his ears go red and she chuckled. "Thanks. So, you were listening huh? I didn't know you were a friend of Heechul-hyung?"

"You know him?" She gave him a curious glance before surveying the place they were in. There were other instruments inside the room but the piano was placed on a corner that was near the door.

"Yeah, he's cool." He said and she heard that it held affection for her--- their friend. "Oh, uhmm, come in." He gestured for her to do so as he caught her glancing the content of the room."Have a look around, it isn't everyday that you could just waltz in here. But since, I'm the only one inside, I give you permission." He jokingly said.

She nodded and walked to the piano. "Why didn't you sing at the karaoke bar the other night? You have a great voice."

"I'm... I didn't really like the attention it would bring." He finally said as he followed behind her.

"Really? Well, it really is nerve wracking when you get on the stage." She said as she stroked the keys of the piano.

"It is kinda scary. I wouldn't want to make a mistake." He replied and then took a seat. He turned to her and patted the space next to him. "Sit."

"What am I, your dog?" She joked and they both laughed, but she sat anyway. "Can you sing once again?"

He seemed to contemplate it. "How about this... you play and then I'll do it after you since I heard you sing before and you heard me sing earlier, we're even right?"

She was the one to think through but decided to just go along. "Fine." She said and then started playing the notes of the song Gemini that came to mind. It was a beautiful song and she really liked it, that's probably why she chose it. She sang her heart out, not just because he did so previously but because she was always like that when she sang. She wanted the listener to feel the message of the song.

She heard him clapping after she was done. "Waa~ You're even amazing up close. It was beautiful." He said the words sincerely and as she stared back at him, she couldn't keep up their eye contact because of the intense way he was looking at her.

"Thanks." She mumbled and sat straight. "You're next then." She pointed at the piano.

She saw his eyes twinkle at her before focusing on the piano. "What would you like to hear?"

"Hmm... Just something that comes to your mind right now is okay." He saw him think for a short time before she heard him play the keys. Like the one he did before, he sang his heart out even if it was a little up beat.

He looked at her as he was finishing the song, with the line saying, you're beautiful. She felt her heart flutter and she quickly pushed the complicated feelings away.

"What's the title of the song?" She stuttered as she asked him, daring to look at his eyes.

"Beautiful." He said it as if he was breathless while looking at her intently.

She couldn't keep the eye contact any longer and avoided his eyes. "The lyrics are beautiful as well." She smiled, it actually fitted their situation but she didn't dare say it.

"Yeah, this was what I wanted to convey to you the next time that I would meet you which is right now." A small gasp left her mouth and she looked to him in shock, her face burning up as well. He was being straightforward with her and she wasn't used to that with him.

She was left speechless and so he continued. He put his elbow on the piano and his body faced her. "I'm not usually so blunt with my feelings but because I wouldn't know when I'd be able to see you again. I was really regretting the moment I left the karaoke bar and I didn't get the chance to ask for your number. You were in my mind for the past few days, thinking that I missed the chance and I wouldn't see you anymore... but you're here now."

She was thinking of him as well. She didn't know why but the moment they had talked at the bar, she felt immediately comfortable around him, she liked his presence. "You... were thinking of me?" She blinked, mentally slapping herself. "Wait. Let me get this straight... you like me? Why?"

"Can't I?" He snickered. "I like you because I like you. But we really don't have to go too fast. Let's start of as friends..."

"Aren't you moving fast right now?" She chuckled at him. "But I guess we can be friends." After thinking about it, she really did want to get to know him more.

"For now." He declared and that really made her laugh.

"So demanding." She elbowed him playfully, both of them laughing this time. She squinted her eyes at him. "This feels like a playboy move."

His eyes widened at her and raised both of his hands in surrender. "You caught me..." She could see a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I'm kidding, no. I'm not a player, that's just being disrespectful to your partner... and my mom would shave my precious hair if I did." Earning another laugh from her as she saw his expression.
