I gazed up at Niki, and it seemed as if his face just lit up upon seeing the computer, he quickly reached for my hand, the door behind us shutting, and led me to the computer.

He sat down on the chair, pulling me swiftly to sit on his lap, and with such eagerness, he guided the mouse to click on a song.

The title? H.

It was just the letter H.

I stared at Niki, his eyes so concentrated on this one song that his mouse was hovering over, and as I just watched - his adorable face so immersed into this computer screen, he turned to look over at me.

And it felt like I had just fallen in love with him over again. His eyes locked into mine, and his soft gaze trailed over my face, resting on my lips.

He left a soft kiss on my lips before turning his attention back onto the computer, where he pointed at.

I looked over as he clicked on it.

"Why is it just the letter H?" I asked him quietly, the atmosphere of the room was warm and gentle.

"You'll figure it out quickly enough, take a listen." Niki's voice was even softer, softer than ever before. He clicked onto the song, and not even a second later a very pretty melody began playing.

It sounded like warming your hands beneath a campfire on a wintery night, or the feeling of sitting around on a summer's dawn, with your friends, laughter surrounding the entire place as you guys sit and observe the stars.

The song felt like home, and upon hearing some of the lyrics, it was no surprise to me that most of this song was made from lyrics of which I sent to Niki through letters.

The song came to a close, and throughout the entire song, he just watched my face, watched as I listened intently, the smile on my face growing in size, and my cheeks becoming warmer.

"Do you recognise anything?" Niki just stared, his arms suddenly wrapping around me gently as he held me a little tighter in his grasp.

"My lyrics, as per usual?" I raised a brow, a cocky smile coming from my lips.

"You know it." Niki gave a breathy, quiet laugh, "My band signed with a label."

I raised my brows at this sudden news, eyes widening slightly. I felt happy for him, more than happy, I'm glad his band was getting the recognition it deserved, but yet something inside too - just wasn't allowing me to be completely over the moon about this.

"Really?" I had no idea what to say at first, the look in his eyes clearly showed that he was excited but still, tainted with a little bit of dismay.

"Yeah, I mean, we're dropping songs after songs now, it's about time we signed with a company." He gave a small sigh, looking down for a split second.

"What's up Niki? Seriously, isn't this good?" I swallowed hard, wondering what was bothering him about this.

"Yeah Haeun, it's great and all, but.. I don't know. I'm scared it'll make me grow distant from you." He gave another sigh, before proceeding to rub his face, "I'm gonna be busy as hell."

I gave a light smile, rubbing his hair gently as I stared at his face. He was cute, beyond cute even - especially when he thought about me in every scenario ever.

"Don't you have me in most of your songs? How exactly are you going to grow distant from me?" I chuckled at him, he looked up at me, a light smile tracing his lips.

"It's how it'll always be Haeun. I'm glad it was you." Niki stared into my eyes once more, and the sparkle returned as I just gave a smile at him.

He gave me a kiss, and just as soon as I pulled away, the door to the studio swung open, followed by chatter coming in.

"OH SHIT!" A startled voice came from the door, both Niki and I glanced over, wondering who was so astounded by our presence.

"Relax Sunoo, it's just these two, again. You aren't used to them fucking around absolutely everywhere by now?" Heeseung shrugged, throwing himself onto an armchair in the corner of the studio.

I made eye contact with Sunghoon as he walked past, sitting beside one of his bandmates. He seemed to swallow a bitter lump down his throat, looking away as Niki tightened his grasp around me a little more.

"So? You guys busy fucking in here or what?" Jay began pressing random keys on the piano, speaking just so casually.

"Chill, was just showing her a few previews of our songs." Niki chuckled, the guys were literally the most laid back, aside from Sunghoon, who occasionally glanced over at me sitting on Niki's lap with no hesitation.

"Yeah, alright, anyways, get ready for our tour, it's pretty close." Sunghoon abruptly said, and the way I literally snapped my head to look at Niki was insane.

He just gave me a nervous glance, as I just stared at him - confused - wondering what Sunghoon was talking about.
