music | a hueningkai au

V | the start.

claire's pov.

i slept at 2AM last night and woke up at 6AM, as usual. i keep getting tired. but i'm pretty used to it. i brushed my teeth, took a bath, and got ready for college.

i went downstairs to see my brother ethan, oh, i just felt so sorry for him. he looked so unhappy. i guess that fight got that heated up. i didn't apologize since i felt it wasn't really the right time. i ate my cereal and left the house.

i went to the bus stop, and it was raining. luckily, i got my umbrella. i sat on the chairs while waiting for the bus, and decided to use my phone.

well, i thought i was alone, and then i felt someone's presence. a guy, he sat beside me, and he was soaking wet, due to the rain. i felt bad, i gave him my coat so he couldn't freeze that much. he smiled and made a "thank you" gesture.

he looked so familiar, but i couldn't really pin point where i saw him. well, i thought it was nothing and just brushed it off.

the bus came and we went to the same bus, "is he going to the same college as me?" i asked myself.

well, the bus was full, i didn't have a seat. i have no choice but to hold the handles.

the bus ride was going normal, until the bus driver made a really strong break.

i almost fell on my face. i literally thought i was gonna fall on my face, and make a huge bruise, but someone caught me.

it was the guy who sat beside me on the bus stop. i felt my cheeks getting warmer.

"thank you..." i said softly. and then he smiled so cutely. oh, my God. i recognized that smile somewhere...

it stopped raining, i wonder why it completely stopped. it was time for us to go to the university, and then i felt someone tapping my shoulder. and it's the guy again, he was speaking but i couldn't hear him properly.

i signed that i couldn't hear in a way that he could understand, and then he quickly got a small notebook and started writing.

"hi! i'm a bit new here, can you show me around the university? if you can't it's fine! i'm huening kai btw!" ㅡthe note said.

i gave him a thumbs up. i decided to show him around the university. i went a little bit early anyway.

we both went to some of the rooms, i showed him the bathrooms, and i showed him the garden.

i asked him if he knows sign language. he signed only a little. he can only spell. and that's fine by me.

we walked a little and then i asked him what's his major, he spelled,

music.

i suddenly remembered everything. i remember when i used to love it, i remember when i used to be so passionate about it.

but i can't, it's gone.

he asked me, what's wrong. i told him it's nothing.

i told him the time by pointing the watch, he waved bye and i did too. there's this feeling, i definitely saw him before.

i went to class. since the professor wasn't there yet, i decided to write an apology for ethan. i can't talk to him in person, so i'm just going to write a letter.

after class.

it was lunch time, and then i saw huening kai sitting alone in the garden. i decided to sit with him. i waved at him, and he waved back.

he got a piece of paper and started writing.

"are you interested in music?"

i didn't know how to answer that question. that's because i quitted a long time ago. i wrote no.

he looked pretty confused, younger me would too. "how could you not like music?" she would ask.

he wrote in the note,

"thank you so much for showing me around, you're really kind... people wouldn't even talk to me before.."

i was heartbroken. how could someone not like him?

"seriously? how?" i wrote in the note.

"it's because i looked a little different..."

i was shocked. different? that doesn't matter. he's super nice and very talented. how?

"it's fine now, i mean, i met you! you're so kind!" he wrote.

i was so touched. he doesn't deserve to be with me.

"it's fine, don't mention it."
