Jisung received a reply from Chenle's mom immediately. He told her that Jaemin told him about her, looking for a partner for her son so she immediately texted their home address to Jisung without any hesitation.

Jisung went to their house the next day and got amazed by how big and beautiful it is. It's his first time to enter such a majestic house so his eyes feel so blessed.

"Please feel free at home, you will be my son's new partner so you can treat this house as yours." Mrs. Zhong said.

Jisung instantly shake his head twice and gesture her to not say that. He will just be her son's partner for the upcoming festival. The house is big and beautiful, but he don't have any plan to treat this house as his. He's here to help her and her son only. He don't have any hidden agenda beside that.

"By the way, I didn't tell Chenle that he will have a new partner.. He also don't know that you are coming today. We'll tell him together later so do you want to drink and eat first before meeting him?"

"Let's meet him now, Mrs. Zhong. Thank you for the food but I'm not thirsty and hungry right now."

Mrs. Zhong smiled and didn't mention about the food anymore.
She just guided Jisung to Chenle's room upstairs so he could finally meet his new partner.

Chenle heard a knock from his door so he closed the book he's reading and said a simple "come in".

He also removed his reading glasses before sitting up straight.

He thought it was just his mom, so his forehead furrowed a little bit when two people entered his room.

It's his mom with a guy he doesn't know. He's sure that it's just the first time he see that guy.

"Who?" he asked his mom with a curious look.

"He's going to be your new partner, son. He'll play with you on the festival. He's a violinist."

Jisung took a step forward and smiled cheerfully at Chenle.

"Hi! My name is Park Jisung. I will be your partner from now on, it's nice to meet you Chenle!"

Jisung introduced himself with a smile but Chenle didn't smile back. He don't know why, but seeing the violin that Jisung is carrying right now makes his heart breaks.

He remembered Jia.

"I'll leave the two of you here. You two get along with each other, okay? "
Mrs. Zhong step closer to her son and kiss him on his forehead.

"Be good to him, son." he reminded Chenle before looking at Jisung and smiled before striding out Chenle's room.

Now it's just Chenle and Jisung alone.

Jisung bit his lower lip to lessen the awkwardness between them. Chenle is not speaking and Jisung don't know what to say to the guy.

"Leave,"

Chenle finally said.

Jisung blink and stares at Chenle with a worried look.

Did he do something that he didn't like? Why does he want him to leave? It's just less than five minutes since he entered his room.

"Why?" Jisung asked.

"I want you to leave my room, now."
Chenle ordered.

It's true that he want to help himself to play piano again. But giving him another partner to play with him on the festival is a big NO.

"Do you hate me?" Jisung asked.

Chenle looks at him and remain silent.

He don't hate him. But he don't like the guy being here either. He just want to be alone.

"I don't know what my mom told you that you agreed to be my partner, but don't worry, I'll talk to my mom later and tell her that it's not your fault that I don't want you to be my partner. You don't know me well. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to regret and blame yourself at the end. It's better if you found someone else to play the piano for you."

"I don't get it.. Why would you say that I'm going to regret and blame myself at the end? I'm here to know you well and I also want to be your friend." Jisung stated.

Chenle smiled sarcastically because of his words.

"You want to be my friend? But I'm not good in taking care of my friend. You will eat those words once you know what exactly kind of person I am."

"Then what kind of person are you?" Jisung asked.

Chenle answered him on his mind.

A murderer. A killer of my friend, a killer of my own partner.

"Just get lost." he said instead.

Chenle look down and noticed that the guy's shoelace is not done right.
It almost made him roll his eyes.

"You don't need to take good care of me, I'm the one who will take care of you." Jisung said with a smile.

Chenle admit that he almost fell for those words.. but he don't need the care of someone who can't even tie his shoelace well. How would he take care of him when he can't even take care of himself?

"Go away." Chenle said without looking at Jisung.

The guy was still hesitant to leave, but he sighed and decided to do what Chenle wants him to do.

"Okay, I'll leave for now, I'll be back tomorrow." he said.

Chenle's forehead crumpled. He look up and was about to tell him not to see him again, but the guy already went out of his room.

Chenle sighed.

He lie down and get his book to start reading again. He'll just talk to his mom about that matter later.
