"Yoongi hyung are you in here?" I called out again, stepping further into the room and rounding the corner. I stepped into the vast corridor and admired all the soft, dove gray colored walls. adorned with crystal clear windows. The room was round, with a grand piano situated in the center of it. The acoustics must be beautiful in here, I thought.

Though to no avail, I was still alone. Where was Yoongi? I stepped over to the piano, sitting on the plush cushion of the bench and situating myself comfortably. I knew I was in the right room since Yoongi's name was on the door, so I didn't hesitate toward making myself at home.

I lifted a finger slowly, caressing the tops of the white keys. I grazed my finger about and pressed down on a note softly, feeling the soft vibration against my fingertip and listening as the sound echoed throughout the room just as I'd thought it would: beautifully.

I brought my other hand up to the keys, positioning them so I could play a quick ditty I was familiar with. I held my back straight and tilted my head, closing my eyes as I played. It was one of Namjoon's favorite songs, and I had learnt it on my own to surprise him with it when we were new into training together.

I hadn't heard the sound of another soul in the room since I'd come in. Granted I became a little self conscious of whether or not I was doing the right thing, I decided not to leave from where I sat. Instead I eased into different songs, considering them to be a warm up.

Surely Yoongi would appear soon enough, and at least I would be prepared to begin practicing.

I had been playing around a half an hour before I heard the click of a lock behind me. Lifting from my trance to the piano, I whipped around, standing from where I previously sat. I smiled as soon as I recognized Yoongi, and bowed when he approached.

He looked tired. His hair was strewn carelessly about his forehead, and he wore the same casual look he had yesterday. Once again I felt I had overdone myself.

"Good morning Mr. Mi-"

"Call me Yoongi, Taehyung. Haven't I told you before that I don't like the formalities?"

Yoongi flashed a slight grin, his gums exposed beneath his lips. I felt my lips twitch into a curve and I nodded my head. "I'm sorry hyung, I forgot, " I cooed softly, glancing back to the piano.

"I hope you don't mind me having played your piano. I just wasn't sure when you'd show up and I wanted to warm up a bit." I watched as Yoongi came near the piano, setting his large canteen of coffee down on the piano alongside his wallet. He shrugged in response to me as he reached into his bag, pulling out sheet music.

Handing them to me, he set his bag down before sitting at one side of the bench. "There's the sheet music for the songs I recommended you choose from. Find the one you chose and we'll begin."

I nodded, sifting through the papers quickly to find the song I listened to on repeat this morning. Toward the end of the stack, they lied. I separated them from the rest, placing the extras on the top of the piano, and situating what I needed in front of me. After I propped them up, I sat beside Yoongi on the bench, feeling flustered and uncomfortable. Something in me worried I would disappoint him, but I knew logically that I was here to learn, and to learn is to make mistakes.

I exhaled softly, peering over to Yoongi who stared back at me expectantly.

"Well aren't you going to play?"

I gulped and nodded. His words, though not said with bitter intention, left me feeling pressured. He really expected me to play while he was right beside me. What if he mocked my mistakes? Afterall I hadn't played in almost a week now, what if I lost my true touch? I wished Namjoon was with me. When he instructed me, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. His gentle touch and words when correcting me felt intimate, which made it hard to forget.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I looked up at the sheet music, reading it momentarily before looking down to the keys to position my hands. I took a large breath in, trying to comfort myself best as possible. I pushed down into the keys, beginning to play the melody.
