Nabi had decided to go to Hendery's house after feeling bad about not spending time with him. She sat in Hendery's room while he searched the room for his guitar.

"FOUND IT!" Hendery yelled out and ran back to where Nabi was. Nabi moved over to the side so there was more room for Hendery on the edge of the bed. He plopped into the empty space and rested his guitar in his hands.

"I'm gonna play a song for you first!" Hendery started to pluck at the strings, moving his fingers up and down. Nabi sat there and listened while Hendery played a soft rock song for her. She almost felt like the world was centered around her.

Hendery stopped playing and rested the guitar in his lap. "So, what'd you think?" He had a huge grin on his face, waiting for Nabi's response. "You're crazy talented. I could listen to you play everyday." Hendery's smile only grew larger as soon as Nabi said that.

He moved closer to Nabi, placing the guitar in her lap. "It's your turn now." She felt a little nervous but nodded. She held the guitar in her hands while Hendery helped her position it. For a second she looked up at Hendery, studying his face. She noticed Hendery gulp, his adam's apple moving down then back up. She stayed like that for a few seconds until Hendery cleared his throat and tapped on the guitar.
"So... Am I gonna help you or not?" Nabi widened her eyes and nodded.

It had been at least 30 minutes of Hendery trying to teach her how to play a song. Nabi noticed that often Hendery would pause just to stare at her face, but this only lasted for a few seconds. He would awkwardly laugh every time Nabi caught him.

"Hendery when are you gonna make dinner- Oh hi Nabi." Xiaojun had walked into the room. "Hi Xiaojun." Nabi sent him a faint smile. Xiaojun looked back and forth between the two of them and his smile instantly faded. "I'll just order something." He left the room without saying anything else.

"I wasn't gonna make anything anyways." Hendery shrugged. Nabi let out a small giggle and then took her phone out. She checked the time and got up, picking her jacket up. "I gotta go, Yuta's gonna be there soon."

Hendery nodded, looking slightly disappointed. "You should come back soon, I still have a lot to teach you." Nabi smiled and walked away, saying goodbye on the way out.

"Nabi wait." Xiaojun put his hand on her shoulder before she was able to leave. "Hm?" Nabi turned around to face him.

"Are you actually dating Yuta?" Nabi only stared at him. Did their relationship seem that fake? Nabi nodded and gave Xiaojun a questioning look.

"Did you move on from me that fast too?" Nabi was in shock by the words that had just came out of Xiaojun's mouth. What did he mean? Nabi was completely devastated when Xiaojun had left her to go to a college in China. He had told her that if she didn't come with him, they'd have to just break up since he wasn't a fan of long distance relationships. She had been dating Xiaojun for 4 years at that time and was in disbelief that he would break up with her that easily. She had told him that she could just wait for him, but he automatically refused. She knew she was in love with Xiaojun since the day he had offered to let her stay with him to get away from her abusive parents. She couldn't leave her room after Xiaojun had left her. Yangyang would show up at her apartment everyday to force her to eat since she never had the energy to do it herself.

"You have no idea how bad I felt about myself when you left me. I thought I wasn't good enough and believed that i'd never fall in love again. Don't fucking talk to me, Xiaojun." Nabi turned around and made her way towards the door. Xiaojun stood there in shock, not expecting to get that reaction from her. She then left the house without another word.
