Chapter 6 - 친구(CHIN-GU)[Friend]

It's the next day and so far I've created a cool beat for the song. It seems very intense, quick, and catchy. The point of this song should be that it can stay in people's heads so that they will be able to remember me. The beat was a mixture of dubstep and soft rock, a strange combination but I was surprised it sounded great. I got up and stretched my stiff back. My shoulder felt a lot better, but I didn't want to risk having it getting worse by practicing.

"Sobo-san really like dogs. Did you know that Kai-chan?"I asked my dog with the red collar."I helped her early this morning to make food. We should visit her one day."

At that moment there was a knock on my door, and all the dogs started running towards it, barking non-senseical barks. I shook my head, it's probably one of the boys again. I sighed and opened it up to see a very tired looking Yoongi. I stepped aside to let him in and his face completely lit up when he saw the little creatures beneath him. He takes off his shoes and hands me a piece of paper.

"Hi Yoongi, what'cha need?"I ask, leading him to the couch while placing the note on my side table.

"It's just too loud in our dorm right now. Everyone is in there and I can't get any sleep."he sighs."Is it alright if I..."

"It's a secret then."I chuckle."Try anything funny and I kick you out alright."

"Would you really kick me out?"he smirks.

"Um...Yeah. I've only talked to you like, what once before this."I say, 'tsking' at him."But I know some things about you so, I trust you enough to be in my dorm."

 "Are you a fan?"he asks with his eyes closed.

"Yes I am Yoongi-oppa."I confess."Just go to sleep."

He didn't respond, only keeping a neutral facial expression. I shook my head and put in my headphones into the launchpad so I could tweak some of my beats for the lyrics. I guess I couldn't record any vocals since Yoongi was sleeping right next to me. I should move to my bedroom. I grab my microphone and launchpad as well as my laptop, shutting the door to my bedroom. With that, I start singing my song.

I played around with the pitches and speed. It looked like I would need to have a long dance segment between each chorus. I shook my head and took some notes on my laptop. I had a rich deep voice but my high notes sound so pitched. I shook my head again and closed my laptop on my desk. I got up and went to the kitchen to go make something.

"Why'd you stop singing?"Yoongi asked, making me jump in surprise."Did you forget I was here."

"Sorry, yeah for a moment. You were so quiet."I argue, trying to hide my embarrassment. 

"I was sleeping."he yawns.

"But you were listening to me sing."

"I was listening to you sing while I was sleeping. Easy explanation."he shrugs acting as if it were obvious.

"Alright, it's four. Do you want a snack or something? I'm making tea right now if you want some."I offer, seeing his get up and walk over to me.

"Sure, let me help."he says."You have so many snacks."

"Well, I was given them at my first photo shoot, even though my manager scolded me since she thought I would gain weight."I chuckle, shifting some tea leaves into a cup."It's pretty hard for me though. To gain weight I mean."

"Even if you gained weight I doubt it'd matter."he said, taking some chips and popcorn.

"Really coming from someone who's fit, this is hard to believe."I tease, poking his arm.

"I'm just saying you'd still be pretty if you gained weight."he says quietly.

I pause pouring the hot water into the cups to look at Yoongi. We hold our gaze for only a moment before looking away, although I could see a hint of a blush on his face. I could feel my own cheek heat up too. 

"I mean...Damn, I can't focus when you show so much ageyo."he grunts, patting my head and heading back to the couch."You're spilling some water."

"Wha- Ow. My god Yoongi-oppa."I hiss, feeling the hot water hit my palm."Tch. Tea's ready anyway."

I carry the cups back to the living room and turn on the TV. Although I didn't pay attention to it much, since Yoongi kept looking at my headphones for some reason.

'What the hell. Is this a kink for him or something or does he just like em'?'

Lloyd hopped onto my lap and snuggled into my shirt."What do you want? This food can kill you you know. Just go over there and hang out with your sisters."

Lloyd just stays huddled into my sweater while I sigh and put my tea on the coffee table, before laying down and running my fingers through her fur.

"Hey Yoongi-oppa, do you know how to play an instrument?"

"Hmm? Yes, I know how to play the piano."he says, moving over close to me since I was lying down."What about you?"

"I've never had the time. I was always busy learning languages. when I was little."I sigh, sinking my head into the cushion."I always thought it was cool when someone could play an instrument because it seems magical you know. The way someone could read those dots on a sheet of paper and move their fingers in a specific way looks like it's from another world..."

"I can see why some people think of it that way..." He looks at my coffee table to see my laptop that was still open."You were working on your debut song right."

"Yep, do you wanna hear it?"

He nods. I sit up and roll Lloyd onto the cushion next to me as I get closer to Yoongi.

"The audio isn't the best since I recorded it in here. But I think it sounds alright."I remind, putting in my headphone jack and handing them to Yoongi."Okay here it is."

Yoongi slips on the headphones and I start playing my music. I tried not to look at his reactions as he heard it so I pretended I was just eating some food. But my gaze locked onto him, watching his fingers tap along with the beat and how he mouthed the lyrics under his breath. Once it finished he took off the headphones and just sat there staring that the screen until it faded to black.

"So...was it good?"I ask.

"...Did you...write it yourself?"

"Yeah just yesterday. I know it's a bit crappy since I'm still new to all of this but-"

"I think it's beautiful. The meaning is very...sad but it contrasts with the beat. I like it."he smiles."It's a great debut song."

"Thank you."

"I mean the lyrics are great and everything too. Where did you get the inspiration?"he seemed so interested.

'Of course he would be he's an idol too.'

"Just past event you know."

His eyebrows furrow slightly. Yoongi's eyes then glance at the clock to find out it was already approaching 7 o'clock.

"I should get going. They get mad if I stay out too long. Thank you for having me."

"Okay anytime."

'Thank god. I'm not ready to be interrogated at the moment.'
