cross identity || haobin (ON HOLD)

3 - first impression

hanbin learned a few new things about his newly found partner.

hao was a violinist. actually, he can play a lot of instruments— like the viola, cello, piano, and more. his best area was just playing violin. hao stated that it was fine if hanbin wanted him to use a different instrument, but he insisted that he stayed with the violin anyways.

i mean, who wouldn't? hanbin is a fan of a violinist. he obviously loves the violin as well. hell, hanbin even lit up the moment hao mentioned the violin— admittedly, he always wanted to learn it, but the price to buy one was too high. hanbin also never really learned how to play an instrument, and felt like an extra class on how to play violin would take away his free time.

hao was a foreigner. he came from china but decided to visit korea for a while. he explained that he had an ongoing schedule in the country, so he had to make up some time for it. he also joined in for the event, as it was a huge thing in korea and he could get a benefit off of it.

hanbin asked what schedule he had, but hao refused to answer. he'd usually be skeptical, but honestly, he didn't mind— him and hao weren't even that close anyways. hao does seem like a private person.

one thing that hanbin found cute about hao was how his voice would get all soft when speaking unfamiliar sentences in korean. he admitted that he wasn't used to speaking korean yet and that he was still learning the language.

because of that, hanbin offered some help to hao for when he ever felt confused reading a sentence or had a hard time understanding a word. hao refused it at first, but after some time of insisting, he just gave in. man, call hanbin the master of peer pressure, because this is the second person he convinced this week.

don't get hanbin wrong though! hao was really good at korean — he was fluent in it and if you weren't paying attention, you'd think he was a native speaker. hanbin just did because.. well, it's hanbin. hao just needed help on the complex bits anyways.

hao was also a year older than hanbin, so he was sort of hanbin's senior. hanbin didn't mind it, he liked the idea of being with a hyung anyways. he's tired of feeling like a mother. (even though his covers say otherwise)

of course, those are some of the only things that hanbin knows of hao. it seems really hard to get information out of him for now (though hanbin doesn't need much) and he seems mysterious for the most part.

before they could get to the concepts of what they would be doing, hao figured that he probably should fill out the form.

"haneul, we should probably fill out the form anytime soon, now that we know each other a bit more.." hao advised before looking over to him again.

"...or are you not sure about the partners? i mean, do you want multiple? you can go for someone else too." he continued.

hanbin was still taken aback with the name. it felt so odd to be called a name he didn't even use. oh well, hanbin guesses that it's his new nickname.

"ah, right! the form.." hanbin grabbed his laptop bag and unzipped it, putting the laptop aside.

"so you're sure?" hao reiterated, wanting some confirmation from hanbin before he drags him into his music hell.

"yeah, i'm sure." hanbin placed back his bag and plugged in his mouse. he quickly entered in his password, clicking next.

hanbin watched as his laptop started loading the assets. "sorry, it may take a while to load.. my laptop is sort of slow." he apologized, clicking his mouse in hopes to make it quicker.
