twenty-seven : the timid flute and the grand piano forever

"Jamie's birthday is today."
"What?! There's no party? OMG, were we not invited? Wait, no, that can't be true... (Y/N), should we go buy him a present?"

Currently, you and Chenle were sat on a couch at the NCT headquarters, in a soundproof room, piano left alone and flute laid onto the table, the metal becoming cold.

You giggled at Chenle's little freakout, "The party's next week, of course we're invited! How can you call it a party if the best auntie and uncle weren't invited?" His face relaxed from the stiff expression he held and his hands roamed around to meet yours. He held your cold hands between his large and comforting hands while using his thumb to rub up and down your hands.

"Phew..." He let out a sigh, slowly becoming more relaxed. "Oh and also, the venue finally confirmed the date in which we're performing. Tomorrow." You spoke monotonously as Chenle jumped out of his seat, eyes widened, hands out in the open like the letter 't'. "WHAT! Are you kidding me? They only wanted to tell us now?! Ughhh, let's rehearse now then!" He rushed to the piano, sliding onto the seat and stretching out his arms.

You giggled at his animated behaviour before agreeing with his actions - standing up and reaching for your freezing flute.

Recently, the pair of you have debuted as a duo - playing the flute and the grand piano. You left Bei-Bei's little cult group and Chenle left whatever band he was previously in, he couldn't even remember their name. Chenle still performs with NCT, however, most of his time is devoted to you and your little duo.

"That evil venue... I'm gonna give them a one star review for being so disorganised!" He yelled in frustration which you silently agreed with.

"Okay... Whatever. Starting from the beginning, one, two, three..." Chenle slowly recovered from his fit and the pair of you began your 6 minute piece.

As your lips reached the mouth piece and Chenle's hands rested on his beginning keys, the door swung wide open - the back of the door banging against the wall.

"What is up love birds!" This earned a little squeal from you but a loud scream from Chenle.

You looked behind you and there it was: the evil and mischievous group of NCT, to be specific, Renjun, Mark and Donghyuk.

"What do you want?" Chenle sighed and urged the trio to leave. "Oh nothing... Just wanted to keep the studio clean and pure, if you get my drift." Donghyuk slyly commented before shoving Renjun and Mark out the way of the doorway and slamming the door shut so that Chenle didn't attack him.

"What a nuisance!" Chenle huffed while you could feel your cheeks burning bright crimson red. "Yeah..." You quietly murmured as you turned away from where the door stood.

This was a normal day at the studio.

"Okay! Before you all begun packing up and leave, remember you have homework on chapter 5! Photosynthesis! C4 and CAM plants, do not forget! Okay,seeyouallnextclass,pleasedoyourhomework!" Your teacher rushed her words so that the students would at least stop and listen, yet they didn't. As soon as that evil bell rang, it was like a signal to automatically just rush out. You felt bad for her but at the same time you just wanted to leave too.

"(Y/N)! Can you please, please, please take some notes up to Mr. Jung's office-" Before the girl standing in front of you could finish her oh, so very sincere request, you cut her off with a shake of the head and a respectful: "Go ask someone else."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes which you ignored, "Whatever nerd." She remarked at you before leaving the classroom flustered.

With your bags packed and cellphone in hand, you were about to call a certain boy until you realised he was standing right in front of you.

"Huh?! Don't just stand in front of me like that! You scared me!" You looked away from the taller male as he let out an evil laugh. "Sorry Miss (Y/N), guess I'm just that handsome to get you all red like this." He teased you with his fingers scraping your burning cheeks.

"Hmph!" You turned away from him as you began to leave the school grounds. "Hey! Wait up!" He chased after you with a bright grin plastered onto his face.

The air was cold as Winter rolled by, yet you didn't feel a single bit of the cold as your heart was already being warmed by this big geek.

He grabbed your arm and pulled you into his embrace. "You're so cute." He muttered quietly as he landed a kiss onto your forehead.

Although it may seem like a simple love story, you think he has changed your whole life. No longer the pushover you, but the you who has been changed for the better.

The timid flute has met the grand piano.

And the timid flute has fallen in love with the grand piano.

The end.
