He was disappointed to learn it wasn't the next day or the day that followed. You weren't in the observation room nor was there an interview after. Another morning passed. He lie in his bed when he caught a whiff of Y/N. He sat up only to be disappointed by Jongin. Taeyong touched his nose, it had never been particularly keen until now.
Jongin laughed at the hybrid's expression. "L/N-issi won't be visiting for the remainder of the week but got this", he carefully handed the hybrid a bag, "for you."
Your smell was all over it. Taeyong quickly opened it, his eyes widened in surprise. An IPad Pro and Air pod Pro. There was an apple pen, a keyboard and a case for the IPad. These were too expensive! There was an envelope on top, it contained a letter.
To Lee Taeyong,
I won't be able to visit for a while but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these gifts. My credit card information is on the pad so you can buy any app or album that you want to. Oh! I also purchased a music studio app. You should be able to compose rhythms and record your raps. I look forward to hearing them.
-L/N.
P.S. these belong to you. You don't owe me anything.
Like hell he doesn't owe you anything, these cost hundreds! Taeyong sat in awe. Jongin chuckled, "well enjoy yourself."
"Wait!" Taeyong stopped him, "I can't accept these!"
"Of course you can. You already have", the caretaker walked away.
Little did Taeyong know you gave him the gifts to keep him occupied. There wouldn't be time for visits. Y/N had been called in for a new project and would need to rework your current schedule to balance your new workload and the classes offered by the shelter. Your plan worked, the hybrid was so absorbed in music creation he hadn't realized the week had flowed into another and another. Today also after lunch he had retreated to his room. The rhythm he made from the night before played as he brainstormed lyrics.
"That sounds nice", Taeyong flinched at the sound of your voice. He was so preoccupied that he hadn't noticed you coming. "I'm glad you like them so much", you smiled at him.
Taeyong quickly stopped the melody. "Thank you very much for these", he bowed, "but I can't accept these." He looked up when there was no response. You watched him confusedly from your place by the door. "You can come in", he added hurriedly.
"Firstly, they're yours", you smiled at him, "secondly, you don't have to treat me differently because I got them for you. You owe me no obligations. I won't enter your space unless you really want me to." He opened his mouth to retort, "can I hear that again? It sounds nice", you stopped him.
He restarted it. The rhythm had a very R&B vibe. Y/N immediately started humming under your breath. Taeyong's eyes widened. His head bobbed to your soothing voice. He scrambled for his notebook, quickly scribbling the lyrics that came to him. That's how they spent that session. Y/N leaning on the door frame enjoying Taeyong's compositions while he used your little vocalizations to write the lyrics.
"L/N-issi", Baekhyun sang. The pair looked to the caretaker. Baekhyun pouted, "he didn't let you in again?"
