♪help me♪ ¹³

"Ah!" I winced as as my bow accidentally poked my ear. I had been the reason we stopped again.

"I'm sorry, my bow got my ear."  Jeonghan apologized for the hundredth time.

"It's alright"

"Its not. I keep stopping us and we keep restarting, I'm getting bored, and I can't seem to get this measure down but there's no violin player to help me." Jeonghan said

"Seriously Jeonghan stop apologizing over nothing, it really not that serious.

"Is it a rhythm that you need help on?" Seungcheol asked. "No" Jeonghan answered

"I don't know how to switch these two notes so fast, my hand can only go fast enough" Jeonghan said

"Don't be afraid to ask another violinist on this floor." Seungcheol looked at him.

"Only if you'll go with me." Jeonghan looked down "of course I will" Seungcheol said

"You can go to Mingyu, his room is next to ours" Seungcheol stood up and they both walked out of the room, Jeonghan holding his violin.

They both walked next door, Seungcheol knocked and Mingyu answered "Ah hyung what's up" he said to Seungcheol, when he noticed Jeonghan he politely bowed as well as he did back.

"Well my very adorable best friend here, also my violinist" emphasising adorable as he winked
"he's having a problem, now I'm not a violin player so I frankly don't have a clue what the fuck he's even saying" Seungcheol said

"I was wondering if you would help him, his name is Jeonghan, very pretty right?" Seungcheol asked as Jeonghan stood behind him looking down nervously, obviously blushing.

"Aw, he's adorable, and..." He chuckled "I think everyone knows who Jeonghan is. Come on in" he gestured us to go inside his room. His piano player, Wonwoo was also there.

"What's the problem?" Mingyu asked as he grabbed the music from Jeonghans hand so suddenly, he was surprised.

"Hannie don't be shy" Seungcheol said to him as he was sitting with Wonwoo talking.

"Um...so in measure 36...it goes from an E to a G and it's hard to move my hand fast enough, its making it sound like there's a half rest and a singular eighth note and there's not..." Jeonghan said, his voice trailing off at the end

"Um...I-i don't wanna be rude, but I think it's a skill that even a beginner should've already picked up...I'm not sure how to fix it.." As soon as Mingyu said that Seungcheol turned around slightly, side eyeing Jeonghan, not in a bad way

"Can you show me how you play real quick?" Mingyu asked as Jeonghan nodded and put his violin to his chin, Seungcheol and Mingyu watched

As he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, he couldn't even get a note out.
"fuck you play with your right hand, I'm a leftie I'm sorry....I dont think I can help, lefts play different than rights." Mingyu said frowning

"I'm really sorry Jeonghan, and Seungcheol you too. Sorry for taking up your time..."

"It's fine..." Jeonghan said as Mingyu gave him the music back "Let's go Seungcheol." Jeonghan had already started leaving.

As the both walked back to their room next door, Jeonghan frowned. "what's wrong Hannie? You'll eventually get it." They opened their door.

"No. I'm gonna fuck it up and be the reason for our bad scores." Jeonghan said with definite negativity

"Don't be so pissy...." Seungcheol said. "Maybe I can help you"

"Doubtful" Jeonghan scoffed.

"Dont be in bitch mode with me. Just let me help" Seungcheol said

"Fine." Jeonghan set his music on the stand, and brought his violin to his chin. He closed his eyes and played as his body moved with the rythim

Seungcheol watched him closely as he played about 8 measures, soon Jeonghan messed up the E and the G and got pissy again.

"You're fine Jeonghan. It's just, I'm not a violin player but...I think your arm is too in front of you, maybe try moving it to the side more." Seungcheol said.

"Try that measure again" Seungcheol said and Jeonghan played again. "Better. But I think you should also angle your hand to the right" Seungcheol held Jeonghans small delicate fingers and helped him where they needed to go.

"One more time now." Seungcheol said, positive that it would work. Jeonghan played the measure again, and to his surprise, he got there in time.

"Woah, okay violinist" Jeonghan said, jokingly.
They both laughed.
"Hey...um since you got that down...let's go to your house yeah? I'll make food hm?" Seungcheol said as he put a hand on Jeonghans shoulder, squeezing it lightly

"I'm not that hungry actually. I'm really craving ice cream right now." Jeonghan looked at him sweetly, stepping closer to him.

Seungcheol smiled "you read my mind, ice cream sounds delicious right now." Seungcheol moved the hand to his waist.

"Thank you for helping me" Jeonghan put him in a cute embrace

"Oh of course..."
