Hongjoong was in his room making music on his laptop. He leaned back as he listened to his song. "Something's missing." He mumbled.

Mingi watched hongjoong think. Then spoke, "I think you're being too hard on yourself. It sounds good."

"Yeah it's good. But good isn't enough. I think I know what it needs..." Hongjoong said before clicking around in the program and using his keyboard to add some instruments.

Mingi continued to watch. He always thought it was cool to see Hongjoong make music. Hongjoong had been making music ever since Mingi met him. He seemed to be really passionate about it but he always called it a hobby. Mainly because he was insecure about his abilities. Truthfully hongjoong wanted to persue it as a career.

Hongjoong sighed and played the song again. "See that's better."

"Woah how did you do that? It does sound better!" Mingi asked surprised.

"I don't even know." Hongjoong admitted. "I just be hearing it in my head."

"Hongjoong like seriously, you're so good at this. You should be a music major or something." Mingi said.

Hongjoong shrugged. "Nah I've been doing fashion design for like two years now. It would be dumb to change."

"Yeah but like isn't this a dream for you?"

Hongjoong laughed a little and shrugged. "A dream is a stretch. I'm not even that good anyways."

"Damn so there will never be big time producer Kim Hongjoong?" Mingi pouted.

"Mingi. I couldn't imagine showing this to anyone other than my friends."

"Well you should. I bet you would have a lot of fans." Mingi said.

Hongjoong saved his project and closed his laptop. "Well maybe one day I'll be comfortable enough to show people."

Mingi nodded then spoke. "Anyways... Are you still hanging with Yunho today?"

"Yeah. Yeah I am. Speaking of, I should start getting ready." Hongjoong mumbled.

"Where are you going?" Mingi asked.

"The coffee shop I think. Well the professor said we could take the test anywhere." Hongjoong answered.

"Oh okay."

"I told him he should just come over here but he said no. All your fault." Hongjoong pouted jokingly.

"I mean I could just leave." Mingi shrugged.

"You know how Yunho is lately." Hongjoong sighed.

"Yeah a bunch of mixed signals." Mingi scratched his head.

"Don't be too hard on him. I mean we are all sexually frustrated."

"Pfft-" Mingi scoffed. "Who said I stopped having sex?"

"Well that's already too much information." Hongjoong cringed.

Mingi laughed. "Wait? How long since you've had sex."

Hongjoong paused, receiving a laugh from Mingi. "Hear me out." Hongjoong began to explain. "Sex is risky. You could catch something. Like feelings.. babies.. other stuff..."

"Babies is crazy." Mingi laughed. "I couldn't imagine. Hongjoong as a dad..."

"Don't even. You'll give the universe ideas." Hongjoong shook his head.

"Yeah you're right. With your luck." Mingi teased.

Eventually hongjoong left and went to the coffee shop. He and Yunho were sitting at a table with their homework.
