((This will definitely be a bit Americanized and I'm sorry about that and the fact that some characters may be a little ooc because let's face it the characters in this story are TERRIBLE at interacting with eachother like regular fucking human beings, and listen I might be a fucking dweeb I at least know how to interact with others normally))
"..w...what kind of music.. d.. do you like?"
Hooni rapped his knuckles together as he stood next to Jaehoon in a CD shop.
If they were both being completely honest, they really didn't fit in with the stores general target audience but they didn't really mind.
At least Jaehoon didn't.
Hooni on the other mind was a sweaty mess of nerves. He thought he was way inferior to all the other well dressed teenagers and adults in the store. He wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
Jaehoon looked down at Hooni,
"I..Im not a big fan of any particular music. If I had to choose anything it'd be simple classical music. It helps me focus while I do my work."
Figures that Jaehoon wouldn't have a specific choice in music. He was always so caught up studying that he didn't have much time for anything. The man studied on the toilet for Pete's sake.
Hooni looked at the ground and nodded softly to himself, he was an idiot for asking such an important question.
"But," Jaehoon spoke up again, "If I had to choose anything with lyrics, it would have to be death metal."
Hooni's head snapped up to look at Jaehoon who was currently looking through CD's looking for a particular album.
Was he joking?
Jaehoon could probably sense Hooni's disbelief so he choked out another answer,
"I-I don't have much time to listen to music though.. so I'm not that invested in any particular bands." He looked away in what seemed to be embarrassment.
Hooni smiled a bit, he was totally still in disbelief that his friend liked death metal, but he liked that he learned a new fact.
"W..would you recommend anything to me?" Hooni looked down at his shitty dirty sneakers.
Jaehoon rose an eyebrow as he looked back down at Hooni.
"......"
Hooni tensed up after realizing eyes were on him and he quickly backtracked.
"Y-You don't have to!! I didn't mean to-"
"Cadeva by Midian."
Hooni blinked.
"Huh?"
"Cadeva by Midian.....You might like the lyrics."
Jaehoon stepped away to look at the next aisle, not finding the album he was looking for, leaving Hooni standing there like an idiot.
Hooni felt his face heat up.
It was thoughtful of Jaehoon to recommend a song, not throw a random title at him, but instead think of a song that Hooni would enjoy even if it was just for the lyrics themselves.
His heart swelled with joy.

Hooni sat distraught at the loud music playing in his cheap earbuds. He was practically spacing out as he listened to the screaming and rapid drums.
This wasn't his type of music, at all, but he appreciated that he got one step closer to getting to know Jaehoon and his interests.
After all they were friends.
