[PLAY 'WISH YOU WERE SOBER' BY CONAN GRAY]

"This party's shi- " Mu qing started, censoring the curse word.
"Wish we could dip.
Go anywhere but here."

"Don't take a hit.
Don't kiss my lips.
And please dont drink more beer."

"I'mma crawl out the window now.
Cause I don't like anyone around.
Kinda hope you following me out."

"But this is definitely not my crowd." Mu qing sang, pausing his guitar while singing this particular line and smiled at Meilin.

"19 but you act 25 now.
Knees weak but you talk pretty proud, wow.
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed,
Take me where the music ain't too loud."

"Trade drinks but you dont even know her,
Save me till the party is over.
Kiss me in the seat of your rover,
Real sweet but I wish you were sober."

"Trip down the road,
Walking you home.
You kiss me at your door."

"Pulling me close,
Beg me 'stay over'.
But I'm over this rollercoaster."

"I'mma crawl out the window now.
Getting good at saying 'Gotta bounce!'
Honestly you always let me down.
And I know we're not just hanging out."

"19 but you act 25 now.
Knees weak but you talk pretty proud, wow.
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed,
Take me where the music ain't too loud"

"Trade drinks but you don't even know her,
Save me till the party is over.
Kiss me in the seat of your rover,
Real sweet but I wish you were sober."

"I wish, I wish, I wish, I...
I wish you were sober.
I wish, I wish, I wish I...
Oh, I wish you were sober!"

"19 but you act 25 now.
Knees weak but you talk pretty proud, wow.
Ripped jeans and a cup that you just downed,
Take me where the music ain't too loud."

"Trade drinks but you don't even know her,
Save me till the party is over.
Kiss me in the seat of your rover,
Real sweet but I wish you were sober." He finished. Still looking down his guitar.

He only looked up when Meilin placed both her hands on Mu qings knees. Only did he remember that he's playing for her.

"Pretty gege. The song is amazing. And lively. But... Gege, why do you sing it so sadly?" Meilin asked, looking at him with worry.

"...huh?"

"Pretty gege. You're crying." Mu qing blinked and touched his cheeks. "Ah..." He is indeed crying.

"Xin gege! You're back!" Meilin suddenly called out, looking past Mu qing.

Mu qing instantly froze. His grip on his guitar tightening.

'How long has he been standing there?' Mu qing internally thought. His hand trembling.

He could hear footsteps coming close from behind him and flinched when a hand touched his shoulder.

"Mu qing." Feng xin called. Mu qings eyes widened and swiftly slapped his hand away and stood up.

"I-... I'll get going now." He said and quickly grabbed the bag of his guitar, walking out the house.

"Wait Mu qing!" Feng xin called out and dropped the plastic bag he's holding to grab Mu qings wrist.

"Let go."

"Mu qing let's talk."

Mu qing clenched his jaw and yanked his hand from Feng xins grip.

"There's nothing to talk about." He only said and exited the door, again running away. Leaving Feng xin with his heart pounding wildly.
