4 o'clock

Chapter 5

Mae pov
I went to school as usual. It's finally lunch. Since I don't really have friends I eat alone in the music room. It's the only place that give me comfort. I hear the door open and see Taehyung peeking in. I quickly gather my things.

"I was just leaving."
I go to walk but he grabs my wrist.

"Mae you don't have to hide it."
I tense up.

"Hide what?"

"That you can't sing."
My eyes widen, but I still avoid his eyes.

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Mae I know you can't sing."

"You don't know anything! I can sing!"
I close my eyes and try my best to sing but nothing came out. Only tears come out of my eyes.
He wraps his arms around me as I cry on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry tae. I can't sing with you like we use to. I don't have a voice anymore."
He grabs my shoulder and stares intensely at me while wiping my tears.

"Mae you don't have to cry about that anymore because I'll be your voice. Anything you write I'll sing for you."
I couldn't say anything. He holds my hands as we stare into each other's eyes. He starts to sing 4 o'clock again. I lip sync as he sings.
It felt like I was actually singing. Just like when we were young. I blink, but when I open my eyes I see that little boy I used to sing with. I blink once again and see he's standing in front of me after so long. He ends the song and I break down in tears holding on to him tightly.

"It must have been tough huh?"
I nod and hold him tighter. After a while I pull off and he wipes my tears away.
"You don't have to deal with anything by yourself. I'm here for you. If you ever want to sing just call me."
He gives me his number and I nod.
He smiles widely. The bell rings signaling that we have to go to class. He takes my hand and walks me to class like a child but I let him. I slightly smile at him.
Class was boring as usual, but Taehyung and I stole a few glances at each other. We both smiled when we caught each other. Class was finally over and I head to the music room to wait for Jimin.

"Where you going?"
I turn around and see Tae following me.

"I always wait for Jimin after school here."
He nods.
"Can you come sing for me?" I shyly asked. He smiles and nods, following me to the room.
I sit down at the piano and take my music book out. I instantly start writing lyrics along with the tune.

"Woah do you always write songs this fast?"
I smile and shake my head.

"I umm just had an inspiration."
I answer. I give the lyrics to Taehyung and wait for him to read them.

"This is really good so far."
He exclaims.

"Thanks but I don't know what lyrics to put for the chorus."
He puts his finger to his chin and thinks.

"I got it!"
He suddenly says, making me jump. He takes the book and starts writing the tune and lyrics. "Play this."
He gives me the book and I start to play it.

"That's good tae how'd you come up with that?"
I asked in amazement. He shrugs his shoulders.

"Maybe because of you."
He pokes my nose making my cheeks heat up. He smirks as I turn back to the piano.
"Let's just get back to the song."
But then Jimin comes in.

"Mae it's time to- oh hey Tae what are you doing here?"

"Just keeping her company."

"Well we gotta go. Thanks for keeping her company. She needs friends anyway."
I smack Jimin's shoulder and he groans in pain. Taehyung giggles.

"Alright bye guys."

"Bye Yae"
Jimin and I say in unison. He giggles again.

"I swear you guys are like twins."
I look at Jimin and he looks at me.

"Eh I don't see it."
We both say at the same time.

"Ok you need to stop copying me."
I said.

"Hey I was born first, so you're copying me."
He pauses for a moment and chuckles.
"Your just like Jungkook, he's always copying me, I mean I was born in busan first then he was born in busan. He's always copying me."
I roll my eyes as Taehyung laughs.

"Let's just go home." I said. He nods and we wave to Taehyung and leave.
