You finally arrived at the building where Juho's studio is. You quickly enter the building, greeting the guard that is on-duty. You're finally in front of the door, and you knocked three times before it was opened. You are welcomed by a smiling boy you seemed to miss (just a little, maybe).
"Welcome! Please come in. It's only a small room, but I bet we can fit in here." Juho led you to sit on a chair as you wander around the room. It is indeed small, but it has almost all the basic equipment for producing songs.
Juho speak once again as you look at him, "This is only a temporary one, I have my studio at our building (FNC) but it's still under construction so I'll drop this room once mine was finished." You simply nodded with what he said. "But I can lend this to you, if you happen to like composing songs." You both gave each other a grin, as if you're both became excited. "Well maybe I'll be. Who knows."
You diverted the topic as to what you should do for the competition. As you are still scanning the whole room, your eyes landed on some papers on his desk. "Oh, you really wrote songs!" You exclaimed, and Juho laughed out loud. You're too embarrassed as your cheeks turn into a pinkish red mess.
"Of course, I did. I've been into writing for years already, maybe since I started training." He stated. It must be really his passion, you think. You picked up a piece of paper from his desk and read it. It was a song that is almost complete — it has already a melody, and an unfinished lyrics. You scan through it, and you wrinkled your forehead.
You hum a little bit of the song he wrote, it was easy for you since you can read musical notes. "Yahh.. Why the melody is so sad.. And the lyrics.. What? Did someone hurt you? Did you broke up with your girlfriend?" You can't help but ask him, because the way the music was written, you can tell he's hurting.
"Hey, how sure are you that it's my experience? You can write music based on others' feelings too, no?" He said.
JUHO'S POV
It hurts.
You don't know exatly, but something pierced through your heart and thought it might be bleeding.
After you experience some kind of 'happiness', in a blink of an eye, it was all washed away.
You laugh at yourself, wondering how you ended up having this experience. Months ago, you met a complete stranger at a coffee shop near your campus. She is beautiful. Her smile is beautiful. Her eyes are beautiful. Even her laugh is beautiful. She has this aura that made you temporarily forget the struggles and stress you're having. You've been waiting for so long to become an idol, spending years for training — dance, rap lessons. Some of your co-trainees already left the company because they really can't wait anymore. You almost did too. But you kept on reminding yourself the promise you and your best friend Seokwoo made — that both of you will never give up and you will debut together. Another reason for you to keep going just came in.. For once, aside from your family, you wanted to be successful because of someone. It was an unexplainable feeling that you wanted to gain something great, so that you'll be worthy of her. You let yourself fall without knowing that you'll fall hard and no one will catch you. That time at the cafè, after she left, you decided to make a move. You followed her outside, and didn't expect what you've seen. You didn't expect she already have someone. You are so stupid, you tell yourself.
