jennie strolled into the music room, whistling mary had a little lamb. today she was assigned to this room for trash pick up during lunch because she was being 'too inconsiderate of fellow classmates judging from her rowdy behavior'. jennie had only talked back to the teacher; it wasn't that big of a deal.
she stopped in her tracks as she saw a familiar brown haired boy at the piano, softly singing adele's set fire to the rain.
er, no one told me students were allowed to be in here.
well, choose wisely jennie.
A, interrupt by clearing your throat.
B, walk out and wait until he leaves.
C, just stay and talk?
i swear to god-
jennie tapped her foot quietly as she listened to taehyung's deep and angelic voice.
"but there's a side to you, that i never knew, never knew, all the things you'd say they were never true, never true," taehyung sang, his fingers somehow hitting all the right keys. "and the games you play, you would always win, always win,"
"but i set fire to the rain, watched it pour as i touched your face; well, it burned while i cried cause i heard it screaming out your name, your name," he briefly closed his eyes, tilting his head to the ceiling.
and then taehyung saw her.
"oh my god you scared me." he looked up at jennie with an intense gaze, and raised one eyebrow slightly in curiosity.

she clapped politely as she walked towards taehyung. "that was amazing, but sadly, i have to pick up trash and clean the room, so props to you."
"no, sing with me!" taehyung pouted cutely, grinning after a few seconds.
how does he do that?

loRD HELP ME.
"fine, only since i like the song."
"yay." taehyung scooted over on the piano bench, and patted the remaining space next to him. jennie strided over and sat down.
"so, let's start where i left off." he placed his hands on the piano keys.
"okay." she exhaled.
"when I lay with you, i could stay there." jennie swayed gently, her voice gradually getting cleaner. "close my eyes, feel you here forever; you and me together nothing gets better." jennie actually enjoyed this because taehyung was so good with the chords.
"cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew; all the things you'd say they were never true, never true," jennie sang smoothly.
"and the games you play, you would always win, always win," taehyung joined in with her, singing the harmony.
"but i set fire," jennie hit the high note. "to the rain," and again. taehyung nodded his head next to her, his fingers dancing on the piano.
"watched it fall as i touched your face; well, it burned while i cried cause i heard it screaming out your name, your name." jennie ended slowly, licking her lips as she slowly came back to reality.
she still remembered the cold feeling of the chilly cement underneath her body as she laid there shocked, staring at the door in disbelief and sadness.
"well, that was impressive." taehyung clucked his tongue.
"thanks, you too." jennie stated. "is singing your everyday thing?"
"you could say so." he replied. "i mean, i always loved it."
"cool." jennie nodded her head. "well, gotta say, i'm disappointed i have to clean."
"it doesn't look like there's much trash here."
"only trash here is you!" jennie stated, taehyung playfully rolling his eyes.
"that is such an old joke."
"that's the point." jennie let out a short laugh as she stood up abruptly. "well, you should continue singing, i'll just look around for... trash?" she scratched the back of her neck.
"okay, whatever you say." he shrugged, and returned to practicing the piano.
jennie took a deep breath, still calming her emotions caused from the sudden flashback.
she gave up after a few minutes of scouring, and instead, just picked up the entire trash can in the corner and scooted it a few feet from its original position.
"done!"
"that's it?"
"yup!"
"okay, yikes." taehyung simply just stared at the trash can. "i feel bad for it."
"it's a trash can."
"but it got robbed of its home!"
"it's only a few feet!"
"that's the point!" taehyung imitated jennie, and she burst into laughter.
