Felix:

We headed towards the music room with warm smiles playing around our lips, as our shoulders bumped into each other from time to time. Due to not wanting to get caught we had to detach our hands from the others but we were fine with it.

The sun lighted our way towards our destination and we reached it without any problems. We closed the door behind us and slowly took in the chilly atmosphere.

The room was lighted by the sun and held in bright, warm colours. With white walls and instruments. Huge windows and beige curtains were the source of natural light for this room. A golden chandelier hung from the ceiling and a few candles stood around.

A fluffy, beige carpet welcomed our feet as we approached the windows, getting a good view of the landscape around the castle. The fields and meadows reached till the near forest and in the background were the huge mountains.

The peaks of those mountains were covered in a white fluffy blanket. Snow. Soon this fluffy blanket will reach our castle as well and cover us in the cold.

"Its beautiful.", I sighed, peacefully watching the birds flying in the clear sky. "It is.", Hyunjin agreed next to me, smiling from ear to ear as his eyes met mine.

We shuffled closer till our shoulders brushed against the others and his arm sneaked around my waist, hugging me closer. I melted into the warmth his body was radiating and placed my head onto his shoulder.

"I wonder where my father is.", he spoke up, his eyes travelled the area in front of us. We both knew that we couldn't see him from here since the sun village is on the other side of the castle. "He should be back tomorrow.", I mentioned, looking up into his excited eyes.

"I wonder how Yeji looks now. It's been years since we last saw each other. Did she change much? Is she still as nice as she used to be? Will she still joke around with me? Will she even recognise me? Did I change much?", his mouth blurted out all these questions.

"I don't know.", I honestly answered, shrugging my shoulders. "I hope she's doing fine wherever she's now.", he silently wished, looking at the peaceful landscape in front of us.

"I really wish that as well.", I commented, gently caressing his back. We stood like this for a few minutes, enjoying the peace of no one watching us.

I felt calm and save, his arm loosely hugging my waist and my head laying on his shoulder. The sun enlightened our features and I felt the heat his body was radiating next to me.

"Would you like to sing?", his soothing voice questioned into the peaceful silence around us. It felt like the whole world had stopped moving. Like no one was caring any more, because no one knew what happened behind our closed doors.

"Yes.", I answered his question and before I was able to move, I already felt his warm hand intertwining with mine and gently pulling me towards the piano.

He sat down onto the chair in front of it and mischievously smiled up to me, and within the next seconds I was pulled onto his lap, facing the piano.

A chuckle escaped my lips and my heart jolted up in happiness as I felt his warm chest against my back. His arms trapped me between them as they lightly settled onto the keys.

They played the first note and I already felt shivers running through my veins as I recognised the familiar tones. His defined hands flawlessly moved over the piano, playing wonderfully.

I closed me eyes and completely let myself go, flow with music.

"The stars embroidered in the sky
I try to draw you from the window
You who used to be so unfamiliar
Are the reason I stay now"
