Chapter 4

[Kat, 10:23]: Hey, are you available today? Since you're in LA, how about you visit my home studio, and we work on something together?

[Yoongi, 10:28]: We always say we're going to work on something, but we end up getting distracted

[Kat, 10:29]: this time We won't, promise. Bring your laptop and any gear that I don't have, and you think we can use.

[Yoongi, 10:30]: Okay, I will!

[Kat, 10:30]: can't wait to see you

Kat was excited, somehow after knowing and visiting each other for months, Yoongi had never seen Kat's home studio. She made sure everything was clean and brewed some coffee for Yoongi to drink while working. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for him.

Two hours went by, when her doorbell finally rang. She ran to open the door, and as she peeked through the peephole, she could see her friend standing there. Kat quickly opened up the door and ran into his arms and hugged him. Yoongi was taken aback by this, but hugged her tight, nonetheless. He would be lying if he said he didn't like it.

"I'm so happy you're here!!"

"Aww, she missed me" he mocked.

"Stop, you idiot! Now come on in and make yourself comfortable. I've made coffee for us"

"Thank you, you're amazing! I didn't get the chance go get some coffee this morning."

As soon as Kat showed him around the house, Yoongi started went to the home studio and started unpacking everything he needed. Impressed by the amount of amps and guitars in the room, he quickly remembered that's what she did for a living. Being surrounded by so many guitars made him think, maybe it was about time he learned how to play the guitar, especially now he had a friend like Kat to teach him.

The house wasn't small by any means, but you could tell that the studio was at least twice as big as any other bedroom. After admiring her special space for a while, he plugged the interface and HDMI cable to his computer, and sipped on the coffee his friend made him, briefly closing his eyes to savor it. Kat sat down beside him by the desk and asked how he wanted to start.

"I don't know, how about you go ahead and play something on the guitar, and we see what we can do."

Kat picked up her 60's Fender stratocaster, plugged it in, and started noodling around. Yoongi couldn't take his eyes off of her. She looked so focused, and he found that both adorable and sexy. Eventually she stopped, and just played some simple chords with a specific picking pattern.

"Wait, stop right there!"

"What?"

"What was that, that you just played?"

"Oh, this?" she repeated the riff "This is just a simple progression, from B#m to C#m briefly using a Cm to transition between them."

"It sounds cool! Let me record it. Ready?"

The beat of the metronome guided Kat through the entire process, until eventually they had enough takes to fill up a track. Immediately after playing that, Kat started playing something else, and that's how they spent the rest of their time, jumping from idea to idea. Some of those ideas they worked on, until the track had its' whole structure laid out, some they completely forgot about, like the first idea Kat played. It got late pretty quickly, and just as Yoongi was standing up to go back to his hotel room, Kat thought of something different he could do.

"How about you spend the night here? It's 2:30 am already and your hotel is still a 40-minute drive away."

"I don't know, what about if I get caught when leaving in the morning? And where would you sleep?"
