Beep! Beep! Beep!
went the alarm as the rays began to peep out and strike a strong hit through the almond brown old blinds.

It was almost peak afternoon and it was rather a sunny day in new york city.

"Wow, a fresh new day!" he mumbled as  he got out of this tiny yet comfortably made bed.

He lived a simple , small and routine life. A full stretch of jogging around the park with his dog - Rio , a little warm-up and  grabbing his poorly made sandwich and his wooden guitar that his had mother gifted him , he headed  straight for his shift at the local nearby bar.

He got on his regular bus and was on his way to 71, Wild street.

"Good afternoon ,Parker . you're early as usual. The customers don't come in for another hour."

He smiled and greeted Ms.Young, the owner and we can say his one and only  well wisher.
A petite lady in her mind 40s but with a rather big heart and  brains and yes, with the most cheerful and warm smile
She single handedly took over this business and made this  one of the most successful bar and brewery in his locality.

Good morning Ms. young. I'll just practice some chords and songs to surprise you today.

He was the star singer at the wild hues resto bar, a famous tavern for staff and producers of ZG entertainment. ZG entertainment was one of the leading entertainment companies in New York City.

Parker's only dream was to join a band and become a singer for ZG entertainment.

He was a simple- minded ambitious boy who also had a dash of attractiveness that made faces turn.

His vocals were perfect.
His voice was perfect.
The location was perfect.
He was perfect.

He just needed to hit the right gate of  opportunity.

And me,

Cho Aera . A writer . This boy was a temporary tenant at my apartment in Seoul and I felt his boy's story is worth narrating :)

Say you love me, say you love me
Segyeui kkeutkkaji
All or nothing, I want all of you
I know I love you

"Aww , there he goes again. this is my favorite song by tomorrow x together . I tell you this boy will surely shine one day."

Sweet. But this is probably the 100th time he heard someone say this.

But when? Was his question. When will I shine?

He had been at this resto bar for 2 months with overflowing hopes but they seem to fade away slowly . His dreams was beginning to shade . Yet he continued to sing, he continued to live .

"one day, I will...."

"Joon Oppa," he turned to see a small ,not too young girl point a pen and a paper towards him.

"Autograph please, Oppa" she smiled.

Smiles, this kept him progressing.

"Sure " he smiled back.

As he got back onto his singing, he was distracted by a prepossessing sight. He felt completely agitated . A bold young lady, probably in her 20s , walked in accompanied by two huge bouncers. She was wearing a lavish vintage suit and pitch- black ray ban sunglasses with dark red lips. Her wavy hair flew as she removed her glasses and entered the diner.

Damn!

Those eyes.

Deep Emerald eyes.

That pierced straight into his heart  and made his chest experience the long cold winter days in just a glance.
