Only One of Us

Growth

It was yet another day for the studio dwellers. The dancers and their leader, Nine.
Yet another day where Mill doesn't need to be present it seems. So he went up to the rooftop. It's been a few days since he saw Jisung but he seems he has a lot to learn.
He trekked the stairs to the roof and met a familiar face.

"Hey Mill."
"Hey, Jisung."

"Okay, Mill, let's start with the basics," Jisung said, handing Mill a guitar. His fingers strummed chords effortlessly.

Mill looked at the guitar, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. "I've always wanted to learn, but I never found the time," he admitted.

"Well, now you have the chance. Just relax and follow my lead," Jisung encouraged, his voice calm and reassuring.

Mill placed his fingers on the strings, mimicking Jisung's movements. He strummed the guitar, producing a slightly off-key sound.

Jisung chuckled softly. "Not bad for a first try. Here, let me adjust your fingers a bit." He gently repositioned Mill's hand, ensuring the right pressure on the strings.

"Now try again," Jisung instructed. Mill strummed once more, this time creating a clearer, more harmonious sound.

"Hey, that sounds better!" Jisung cheered, making Mill smile proud.

"See? You've got it," Jisung said, nodding in approval. "It's all about practice and patience."

"I guess I really do," Mill smiled at Jisung.

"Oh by the way, guess what?" Jisung asked eagerly.

"What?" Mill asked just as anticipated.
"My roommate is having a barbecue but it's boring since we're the only ones that'll be there. Wanna come? He totally will want to meet you!" Jisung smiled.

"Who's your roommate?" Mill asked.
"It's Kyubin! Shin Kyubin! I call him KB thought." He answered.
Mill nodded, thinking over the proposal.
"You can bring your friends! The more the merrier!" Jisung suggested.

Mill agreed on one condition,
"I'll have to get my friends to come with. They're always busy."
Jisung nodded along.
Hours later, the group reassembled and Mill was able to garner the groups' response.
An unyielding yes.

"See you there," Mill sighed.
That's how he ended up sitting at his friend's roommate's barbecue.
Mill sighed looking at the perfectly burnt ends of his steak.
"Gotta make the most of it." He thought with a long groan.
