Changbin was laying down on his bed in his small apartment. He's been living on his own for about a year now and it gets boring.

Same routine over and over. Wake up, get ready, eat, school, work, come home, eat and watch tv. He didn't have any hobbies. But recently he's become interested in bass.

He's been watching YouTube videos of people playing their bass. How they play the hardest bass lines and how they use different techniques.

He wanted to learn how to tap and slap the bass. It just seemed so amazing to do it.

He sighs and gets up. He walks to his crowded desk and tries to find his laptop. He removes homework assignments and essays that were overdue. He finally finds his laptop and brings it over to his bed.

He sits down with his legs crossed and opens up the device. He logs in and opens up safari. He types in 'Bass lessons'. Many results came up and Changbin kept opening and closing tabs.

Most of the lessons were expensive and he had to set up appointments which were months apart.

He sighs and keeps looking for lessons. He was about to give up until he saw a link that was titled 'Affordable bass lessons'.

He clicked the link open and the websites open up. It looked professionally done. He scrolls through it and sees a full description of the teacher and what lessons they'll be teaching.

"Bang Chan is a professional bass player. He's been playing for about 14 years and he's been teaching for about 3 years. One of the most recommended tutors." Changbin read out loud.

"Lessons are $20 dollars each. No long month appointment needed just sign up and I'll get back to you." He read Chan's description for lessons.

There was even a profile picture of the male. And Changbin was in awe at the male. He was absolutely breathtaking.

He was pale but a good kind of pale. His hair was dark/light brown and was slightly wavy. And it was sligtly held back by a white headband and well it honestly made Chan look hot.

Changbin decided to have Chan as his bass teacher. He was affordable and had the most recommendation. He pulled his phone out and typed in Chan's business phone number into the new message.

He typed a message of why he wanted to learn the instrument.

"I don't have any hobbies so I'd like to do something in my spare time. I'm a beginner. I became interested in the bass by watching videos." Changbin types out.

He clicked send and now he had to wait. He really hopes he'll hear from Chan soon.
——
It's been about a week since Changbin signed up for lessons. And everyday he checked his messages to see if Chan ever got back to him.

"Anything?" Changbin looked up from his phone and faces Hyunjin. He shakes his head.

Hyunjin slightly nods and pulls over the apron and walks to the counter. Changbin sighs.

"Chill. He's probably busy." Changbin nods.

"Now grab a towel and wipe down tables." Hyunjin says.

"Isn't that your job?" Changbin says removing himself from the counter.

"It is. But you're doing nothing so it's your job now." Hyunjin says and cleans around the register and the pastry display. Changbin rolls his eyes and grabs a towel.

Changbins shifts end and he bids Hyunjin farewell. He pulls out his phone as he makes his way to his car.

He sees he has a new message and he clicks it right away. He reads the message as he enters his car.
